 I need to add two new status values of "Billed"  and “Expired” to the Service Contracts screen.1) Is the list of Service order status values exposed as a preference in Acumatica?2)Can new status values be added through a customization?3) Would the addition of new status values impact related Service order business rules? Thank you in advance.Ken Severud

Hello,I am attempting to Release a Pro Forma Invoice and I am receiving the following error message “This document is already released” which seems to be incorrect because if it is released it should have the closed status. Has anyone seen this similar issue? currently using Acumatica version 2021R2. Thank you,KT

While trying to clean-up books, cannot get journal transactions booked to cash account with different subaccounts than defined on cash account. Read that cash account is one-to-one relationship with subaccount, so saw that solution may be to create new cash accounts with the not defined subaccount to clean-up, but concerned that cash account configuration has not changed yet we have transactions that are said to be impossible and are now erroring after upgrade to 2021R2. How could this have happened?

Hi all,My goal is to establish the relationship between vendor & project.The Projectsprofile gives me the project IDsubcontractsPL gives me subcntract & vendorBut when I tried to query both I am not getting the project id back. I suspect its to do with the relationship. However I have tried creating the relationship through generic inquery but linking the POORder, SOOrder, Customer etc with the contractCD in PMProject. Another post I created related to OData is here

Hi all, I need some help to add the project to the subcontractAs you can see below. It shows an error  I tried to figure out through the Project Task etc but not having much luck.Any idea?Another option I tried is adding the project directly to the line item. However when I queries the Project, it shows ‘x’ instead. As seen below.

Hi,Thinking about why we get “klinkers” where subcontracts and purchase orders create 00-9999 cost code budget lines, does the project setting “allow adding new items on the fly” allow that to happen or are there other settings to disallow unbudgeted transactions? Acumatically,Dave Z

Is there a way to have the Tax Category on a Revenue Task be defaulted without needed to manually select one? If someone forgets to add a tax category, that task when billed will not charge taxes to the customer and this could create tax reporting problems if not caught.

I want to synchronize files generated with export scenario with a SFTP we have in Amazon S3. Is there any documentation available for that or example I can use to get this going?I created the SFTP in AWS S3 and can access it with no problems with WINSCP or similar tool, but not sure how can configure it in Acumatica.   

I already add control to disable request item description in Purchase Request but I want to disable only Stock Items . How can I do this ? Below is my current code. 

Anyone tried connecting or integrating Acumatica to Elkon Concrete Batching plant system ? Can anyone tell me how compatible are the two system and what can we expect on the integration?

When creating a Crew Time Reporting Entry, the first week that pops up as an option to click dates back to 2004. Should it not default to the current week that we are in, based upon the calendar within Acumatica? 

Hi!Does Acumatica 2021R2 have an easier method for handling materials only sales without setting up a job and not using the Sales Order module?Thank you,Dave Z

Our CEO has recently requested a WIP Widget for his dashboard and I am working on creating this. I was hoping someone could guide me in the right direction, as this is the first widget I have created from scratch. Relations and all are confusing to me. Any assistance would be great. Thanks in advance!!

Before I submit a support ticket, I want to see if the Acumatica community knows how to resolve this workflow. Create purchase order for a project - using stock items as PO line items Create PO receipt - change warehouse location from default MAIN to B1A1 (indicating the shelf that this was placed on The system automatically changed the project ID to X - I cannot change this back. The project is set to track inventory by qty and cost. The warehouse location does not specify the project because it is not designated to that project specific. We can put anything on shelf B1A1. We may receive project material, put it on B1A1, then move it to another location (Transfer) - but this material is project-specific, it is not inventory. Anybody know how to achieve this?  

Hi,When we create a pre payment request for a subcontractor, it is not allowed to change the retainage percentage in the prepayment. I got to know this is a known issue not yet resolved. Is there any workaround to overcome this other than change the retainage in the subcontractor (Get back to the on hold status and change)  and then do the prepayment request ? The supposed workaround is not practical because if we have created at least one AP invoice, It is not allowed to get back to the on hold status.  Thank you,Dulanjana

Hi All,We began implementing Acumatica almost a year ago and have redone a few tenants since then due to changing minds etc. We’re using the Construction edition; have 30ish companies over 3 tenants. 1st tenant contains our Development project companies2nd tenant contains our Subtrade companies and Construction Management company3rd tenant contains all our Construction Management Projects for use in tracking costs for the owners (and to keep that data separate from tenant #2) We’ve had some hiccups implementing and changing things as we learn more about the system.ie. in construction I found it odd that a subcontract gets closed out automatically when the $ value is reached; what if there’s another change order on that subcontract further down the project line (which there often is).  We added an unused task with different cost code in each subcontract named “Force Subcontract to Remain Open” and gave it a dollar value of

Hi ACU community, My company is upgrading from 2021 R1 to 2021 R2 in the upcoming months. I was wondering what the main improvements are? We currently are using the construction module. We like to stay N-1 on upgrades to eliminate any bugs, if it is not worth the upgrade we may wait for the 2022 R1.  Thank you,KT 

We have been on Acumatica for 2 years now, and we have been struggling with getting Acumatica to properly measure a project.  With our current setup, our cost are not applied to our budget, so we have to dump everything into excel and measure the projects manually.  We have been working with our partner on this and our trying our 3 setup to try to get it working. Ideally we would like the task to our project phasing, but the inventory Id seem to constantly be the issue.  When we put stock items to the project they don’t go against the material budget, they create their own line for the sku in the budget. This creates thousands of cost lines in multiple phases that don’t go against the material budget line. this was difficult to manage the project.We tired making the task the work breakout structure and using the inventory Id for the phase, but we run into the same problem.We are now testing task and cost code, but again we have the same issue with inventory and
