When we look at our projects under cost budget under actuals it shows 0 for labor hours. Why is it not showing our actual hours?

Hello
You will need to create the corresponding Project Transactions to get the Actual Qty. and Amt.
Hope this helps!
What do you mean the corresponding Project Transaction?
We bill the appointment out that has the labor on it.
I don’t see where a Project Transaction is created. Is this something you have to do after you bill out the appointment with the labor hours on it?
We use service orders to track time.
please try to release the activities and then refresh the project screen to see if the values update
Thanks
They have all been released in our system already.
It is posting to an off-balance account and here is a screenshot of a released time activity.
Yes we have rates specified.
If you look under the service section of time activity you will see the consttime.The ZLABORCOST is the labor item not the Inventory ID that we use.
Do you have a UOM (unit of measure) of Hours (or HR or however you are recognizing hours in the system)? If time is entered in “HOUR” for example but the project budget doesn’t have that as the UOM (or the UOM is blank) it will not calculate the quantity. If you add the “HOUR” UOM to the budget and then recalculate project budget it should add the hours to the “Actual” column.
The system will update the budget based off what the update preference is on the project preferences screen (either summary or detailed)
On the project balances tab, are you seeing any transactions in the off-balance account group?
Yes, there are transactions under the balance tab off-balance and in preferences it is Detailed.
here’s what i found:
upon release of the timecard, the system added two new lines to the budget with the actual amounts, the original line was not updated because the inventory items were not the same:
i also tried to add “LABOR” as the labor item on the time card but got this error which makes sense:
in order for the time to be entered and released, i needed to use labor items which updated the project as shown in the first screenshot (i did need to update my T&E preferences to post to an off-balance account group)
in your case, i believe you will need to update the inventory item on the project to specify the labor item so you can track the budget on the same line, otherwise it will create a new line. are you able to see if “ZLABORCOST” shows up on your budget at all if you remove the filter on the inventory item?
