Training Description: This webinar provides a set of lessons that illustrate project accounting processes in a midsize company. The webinar consists of lessons that guide you step by step through the examples and explanations of the configuration and business process flow in Acumatica ERP.

Training Syllabus: The program is covered over four days as follows:

• Day 1: Creation of Projects. In this session, you will learn how to create a project template and a common task, how to create a project based on the project template, and how to add a task to the project by using the common task. Moreover, you will create a project quote based on an opportunity, specify the settings of a quote by using a project template, estimate the potential revenue and costs of a potential project, and create a project based on a project quote.
• Day 2: Advanced Billing. In this session, you will learn how to configure billing rules for progress billing and for time and material billing, how to configure combined billing rules with multiple steps of different types, and how to use billing rates and item prices in billing rules. You will also learn how to create a rate table and rate type, define a rate sequence and a rate table with particular rates, use billing rates for billing projects. Additionally, you will learn how to restructure the project budget, save a revision of the project budget, and restructure the project budget after the billing that has affected the budget.
• Day 3: Budgets and WIP Costs. Cost Commitments. In this session, you will learn how to configure an allocation rule to move project costs to a WIP account group, configure a fixed-price project for allocating costs to the WIP account group, and temporarily allocate costs of the project to the WIP account group. You will also learn how to enable tracking of project commitments in the system, create commitments by creating a purchase order for a project, and review how the commitments affect the project cost budget during the processing of the purchase order.
• Day 4: Single-Tier Change Management. Time Tracking. In this session, you will learn how to configure a change order class, create a change order for a project, update the project budget with the change order, update cost commitments with the change order, review the changes made with change orders in the project budget, and prevent direct purchases for the project. Also, you will learn how to prepare the system for the configuration of time tracking, enable the needed system features, and specify the minimum required configuration so that time cards (and time activities, if applicable) can be used to track employee time spent for a project. Additionally, you will learn how to enter a billable time and time card activity related to a project, and log the time spent for the project, and bill a project for employees’ time spent working on it.

*To provide a cloud instance for attendees, we need to generate a registration report and perform some activities to deploy the instance and send out the credentials. All this takes time and we have to do it several hours before the webinar. So we highly recommend not leaving the registration up to the last minute of the webinar start. Everyone who registers after 6 AM PT of Day 1 session will not receive the link to the cloud instance and credentials for it and will have to attend a webinar in a view-only format.
