Construction

We’re about to start our first phased construction project & I’m struggling to figure out how to get it set up.  We use (what I think) is a pretty standard NAHB set of cost codes that follow a 5 digit format where the first two digits are the major categories and the last three are the detail description of the cost.  So we have:01-000 general requirements 01-310 project management 01-510 temp power 02-000 site works 02-100 demolitionand so on.  The major categories from 01 thru 29 are hard costs.  30 is land costs.  40 and beyond are soft costs.At present we enter all five digits into the costcode field and duplicate the first two digits into the projectTask field.  This allows us to get subtotals for the major categories (but we can’t get totals for hard costs, soft costs & land costs).As we start planning on an upcoming phased project I want to drop the redundant data entry into the projectTask and instead set up task codes for each phase.  But, when I look at the Project re

Is there any way to use the unit rate specified in Project Revenue Budget below as billing rate in TM billing? 

Hello all,I'm reaching out today to see how to recognize revenue for fixed fee billing projects in Acumatica. When I run billing for a fixed fee/percent complete project, it will immediately recognize the entire amount billed as revenue, even if it is a downpayment before work on the project even starts. I've been trying to build an allocation rule that will move that amount to deferred revenue and move the balance back into revenue as we put time and materials into the project, but I haven't had much success with it. I'm curious as to how some of you go about this and any ideas would be greatly appreciated.Thank you,

When trying to copy a project template, we are getting “Any unsaved changes will be discarded.” when trying to save the template and by doing so, the entire template is wiped out. We used to be able to copy project templates, but it is not working now. We are on 21R2.Any ideas what would have happened that is blocking that functionality?

Hello, I have accidentally deleted lines in my cost budget and was wondering if there is a way to retrieve them as several invoices were sent out which is affecting my previously billed when I enter the new lines.  Please help if you can. 

Hi all!We are working on setting up Acumatica and was wondering if anyone else has a requirement that they have to have the customer purchase order number listed on the invoice we send and how they go about doing that?  We currently have set up an project attribute for the PO and have that show up the invoice.  There are instances where we will get a separate PO for a change order that we will need to list on the invoice but I am not sure how to go about doing that efficiently.  We also have instances where the customer requests us to invoice 3 separate PO for the same projects.  This would require us to change the PO number attribute before sending each invoice.  Any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated!  

I am working on an implementation that involves Non stock items on Sales Orders.There are two workflows involved Counter sales and Project Sales.We have 2 different order types setup; one with Invoicing for Counter sales and one WITHOUT  Invoicing for Project sales (material issue only).The system is set to assign the cost on sales.It appears that the cost side of the transaction gets generated when the Invoice is processed, si this works for the Contract Sales.For Project Sales order no cost transaction are ever created.How do I get the cost of the nonstock item to hit the project without Invoicing?.There was a change in the Service module that seems to have address this process for a service Order and this functionality seems to be missing from the Sales Order workflow  

Is there a way to access files that are attached to an invoice from outside? We have synced all invoice to a payment portal.Many customers want to access the original document that our accounting upload to the invoice in Acumatica as attachments. I cannot find the table that records the relationship for invoices and files. any advice, please. Many thanks advance. 

Hi,I created a business event for a client to alert users when their project quotes have been approved. It’s working but many users will have to make edits on a regular basis and the business event triggers an e-mail again after making edits. What condition can I use to trigger the e-mail to be sent once and not after each edit. Here is my configuration: Let me know.Thank you,Frances  

Client is using 2021R1 and Projects allows an Inactive Customer Location to be selected in Project Quotes and Allows the Quote to be converted to a Project.  Is this an oversight or is this working as designed?  Does the Construction Edition operate in the same way?   

We are having issues in a project where we released retainage and then went and printed out an AIA report for this by running the project billing. What we are seeing is that the released retainage is getting applied to the invoice but not specifically on the line that was released. What we are seeing is that the released retainage was distributed across all lines that had retainage. How can we change this so that released retainage applies to the lines we are releasing from? 

I thought that the system would prevent me from posting a payroll transaction to a completed project (and completed task) but it allowed me to.  I noticed I had FA Supervisor role so I removed that role from my access and did it again.Does anyone know how to prevent this?  I’m aware there are customers that want to be able to do this, but I’m trying to figure out how to prevent it. Thank you

We have a few common dashboards for different groups created. We are setting them up as user home pages - however I don’t see a way to save the parameter filters to their specific Branch/project manager. Is that possible instead of having to select it everytime?

Hi Team, I added two custom fields, one on the project screen and one on the quote screen. I want to transfer values when a project is created from a quote. The fields are using the DACs 'PMSiteAddress' and 'CRAddress'. For the 'PMSiteAddress', I've created an extension class 'CRAddressExt' to add a custom field 'usrCounty'. Similarly, for the 'PMAddress', I've created an extension class 'PMAddressExt' with the same custom field 'usrCounty' public class CRAddressExt : PXCacheExtension<PX.Objects.CR.CRAddress>{#region UsrCounty[PXDBString(155)] [PXUIField(DisplayName = "County")]public virtual string UsrCounty { get; set; }public abstract class usrCounty : PX.Data.BQL.BqlString.Field<usrCounty> { }#endregion}for project  public class PMAddressExt : PXCacheExtension<PX.Objects.PM.PMAddress> {     #region UsrCounty     [PXDBString(155)]     [PXUIField(DisplayName = "County")]     public virtual string UsrCounty { get; set; }     public abstract class usrCounty : PX.Data.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to modify the list of options (without a Customization) in the Document Type field on the COMPLIANCE tab on the Vendors (AP303000) screen? I see on the Compliance Preferences (CL301000) screen that you can add attributes using the CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES and COMMON ATTRIBUTES tabs so I’m considering setting Document Type to Other for everything and using an attribute for a custom drop-down list, but I wanted to see if it’s possible to modify the Document Type list of options.

I was hoping that someone could help me out with a customized field issue with the project quotes. I amtrying to add a field to the top of the quote screen (Call Number) in the example below. I will type in the call number, hit save and then everything will look fine. Once I leave this screen and go back in the call number disappears. I have tried multiple customization projects and have tried different customization fields with no success. I have done the exact same process in the projects side and have had no issues. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Hi,The project below is supposed to default to a subaccount of OK when I create an A/R invoice but it does not. It’s defaulting to a 0 subaccount but I need it to pull from the project vs. non-stock item. I noticed in the A/R preferences do not have the same subaccount options like in A/P. How can I configure? I did something at the Project preferences level but that did not work. Any help would be great. Here is the project default: Here are the A/R Preferences: Here are the Project Preferences:

I am importing Change Request data from another system into Acumatica.This particular data was given a status of “Void” in the other system.I noticed that Acumatica supports a status of “Rejected”. I am looking for an interactive way to assign the “Rejected” status to a selection of Change Request records(hopefully without having to create a Change Order).Thank you for reading this.-Ken Severud 

i have a client who is using task, item and cost code on their cost budget.  everything has it’s own description (task is filled out on the task tab of the project) however, when i add the cost code to the cost budget, the description inputs the cost code description, not the task description or the item description.  i was wondering if there was a way to change what description defaulted to that (ideally, i would like the inventory description to populate in the field): 

We are a construction edition user.  We would like to be able to display the notes saved to the project screen (CST.PM.30.10.00) when entering a PO for that project on screen (CST.PO.30.10.00). Some of our projects require only certain types of products and we would like that to alert our purchasing staff when they are creating a purchase order.

I would like the standard status popup to show while a long running operation is executing. How do I go about this?I thought placing the operation inside PXLongOperation.StartOperation(Base, delegate {...}); would do the trick but nothing changes. Thanks
