Searching for information on whether Acumatica Construction (Projects) will accommodate multiple Progress Bills based on stages of work. Customer is looking to combine project financials (their current system forces each division to setup projects independently) If we support all three divisions in one single Acumatica Project, customer requires each PM to bill independently.
Question can Acumatica have independent monthly Progress Bills. Is there any downside to supporting this configuration?
+10I think you are mixing a few things up.
can you have multiple progress billing over the life of project? Yes you can.
can you issue multiple progress for a project for the same time frame? Yes you can create multiple progress even by each Revenue Budget line in each bill.
Can bills be addressed to different clients for one project? Out of box no with customization yes. With some hesitation I would say even out of box yes but kind of hectic
Apologies, i’m posting this via feedback from our consultant not active in this community forum.
From what I know we are working in line item 2 from your answer and maybe don’t need customization: Can you issue multiple progress for a project for the same time frame? Yes you can create multiple progress even by each Revenue Budget line in each bill
To do this then and satisfy the client, I believe we are asking each division to enter into the single project and bill out independently i.e., Claim no.1. Electrical division PM → Claim no.2. Partitioning division PM → Claim no.3. Joinery divsion PM . All 3 different division PM’s generating new individual proforma invoice reference numbers for the same period (of one month).
Where we thought we could see it becoming messy is if a customer disputes progress at a later date for only one division, or if one division takes longer to approve progress subsequently holding up any of the other draft progress bills from release… But that would be a business decision process on how that is handled in follow up to the client
Does that make better sense? We were worried about sequence and any customer headaches with proforma invoice references...
+10It is what the client should decide if it will work for them or not. If I’m not mistaken, at any give time only one proforna invoice can be on hold or pending. the rest should be posted
I mean out of box of course
