I’m working through the process of setting up NEW taskcodes for a project. At the moment we have existing taskcodes and have 1) budgeted them, 2) created subcontracts, & 3) recorded invoices.
Mgmt has now decided they want a difference set of taskcodes. To do this I’ve:
- created the new taskcodes,
- updated the budget to set the old taskcode amount to zero & enter the new taskcode amount
- created a journal entry to record a reclass from the old code to the new.
- created change orders to reclass taskcodes from old to new.
This process
- maintained my GL reporting
- gave me the project reporting with the new taskcodes in Project Cost Reports and in the Project Cost Budget screen. This includes budget, Actuals, & open commitments.
But, when I look at the resulting subcontracts I still have “actual amounts” recorded against the old taskcodes. The totals for the subcontract are correct but individual lines for the old taskcodes still have actual amounts.
I realize that instead of journal entries I should have used bills to reclass the amounts between taskcodes so that the GL, Projects & SUBCONTRACT tables would have been updated.
Is there any way I can avoid reversing journal entries and re-recording the impact with Bills?
