Hi,
In a project, we have a cost in actual, let say :
Original cost | Laptop | 1ea | 500 | =500 |
Total in actual cost balances | =500 |
We did a Proforma with some row Status setted at Hold remainder with a amount less than the cost. We released it. :
Hold remainder | Latptop | 1ea | 400 | =400 |
I remarked that since it’s done, i have the expense row twice in the actual cost( one for the original transaction, one for the Unbilled Remainder).
Hold remainder | Latptop | 0ea | 100 | =100 |
Original cost | Laptop | 1ea | 500 | =500 |
Total in actual cost balances | =600 |
I saw in help this :
I dont see at the moment any reversal transaction.
So, at this moment there is a problem my expense balance isnt good because it sum up both amount.
I said to myself that possibly they (developer) have thought of reversing it on the next invoice. So I did the next invoice, a write off the remainder, and now, the Reversal transaction appear.
So, Now we have good expenses balances.
Hold remainder | Latptop | 0ea | 100 | =100 |
Original cost | Laptop | 1ea | 500 | =500 |
Hold remainder reversal(second invoice) | Latptop | 0ea | 100 | =-100 |
Total in actual cost balances | =500 |
I understand the reason to create the cost row in order the Billing process will scan it at the next time for the remainder. But the project balance don’t have to take it in account. Unless I missed something, I believe it is not acceptable and i can’t conceive that the cost balances are not good at the moment the next invoice is not sent. Does that make sense?
I tried to Recalculate Project Balance without success.
Thanks
