Work In process for over under billing

We are 2.5 months in on the process of design with our business partner and looking to chat with another contractor regarding loading the prior year balances for projects in progress at end of year, so your current year over/under billing calculates properly.     What level for the FYE did you need to load to ensure the current year activity was properly reflected on your work in progress and completed projects schedule to reconcile to your financial statements.    

 

Thanks in advance, we want to do the level necessary, but don't want to overcomplicate things if it isn't needed.  

This is my first post.  i hope this is appropriate to pose this question here.

 

Thank you for any insight

@mdavolt i typically create projects with the original revenue and costs and then use the project transactions to upload the costs to date (at a summary level against the corresponding line), however, i split this by fiscal year so that it lined up with the legacy system.  you could even do this by month to have it line up by period 

revenue is slightly differently depending on your needs (i.e. if AIA billing is required or not)

hope this helps!
