Hi — we’re exploring a 9/80 schedule (every other Friday off) and want to use the “split Friday” approach so each workweek still totals 40 hours. JAMIS Prime runs on Acumatica, and I can’t find a public example of JAMIS clients doing this. Has anyone here implemented 9/80 in JAMIS Prime (which screens they used, e.g., Timesheet Schedule / Time Card Profile / Overtime Rule), or can share a short description of how you configured it? Thank you!

Did you know labor doesn’t have to exactly match your payroll timing? Something we decided during implementation was to process labor weekly (instead of matching our biweekly payroll) and to not process labor in summary. This has enabled us to make our billing much more accurate and timely, since Billing only has to wait a maximum of 7 days for posted labor. And we’ve been able to provide much more accurate, in-depth reports to our program managers and our customers. 

We recently discovered that terminated employees with their status set to Inactive (we do that for never started hires or employee’s that have been gone several years), still appear in A/P Bill Entry because apparently their “vendor status” is still active. But I can’t find anything under the employee setup to change that. Any suggestions? Employee setup: Vendor list:

The Gross billing amount for the project is based on the billing type. The Billing Type indicates how the system calculates billing and revenue bill amounts for project.  This is why the Gross Amount field is cumulative. In the example below, the Project is a T&M and the Bill for Overruns is checked. This means it ignores funding and bills everything. If not checked, it will only bill within funding.Gross Amount = Prior amount + Sales amount - Prior Overruns (2,061,629.80 + 61,719.80) - 61,629.80 = 2,061,719.80 Note: The Gross amount and invoice is also affected by the project's Limit Extract to Funded Limit check box on or off. 

Since we started using them, Business Events have played a large role in the administrative side of our company.  Sending out late approval reminders, automating import scenarios to help with security, and notifications going out to inform employees of data integrity errors are a few of the use cases that we have found for business events. I wanted to share how I created one of our most used Business Events. Our most common use for Business Events is ‘Late Approval Reminders’.  Previously, we started running into issues where approvals during the purchasing processes weren’t getting done in a timely manner, which was slowing everything down. The Purchasing team didn’t have the bandwidth to keep an eye on what was still pending approval, then trying to hunt the employee down to get the approval completed, before often learning the employee is out of office and that the item needed to be rerouted for approval again.To sum up the lengthy tutorial, a generic inquiry

It’s a simple hack but did you know you can rename menu items for clarity? This is especially useful when you have multiple menu items named the same thing, but they are actually different forms/reports. (Yes, you can hover over the item and see if it has a different ScreenID, and pay close attention to the category, but not every user knows to pay attention to that, plus it’s an extra step.)For example, back in JAMIS 7, the default was to have “Close Financial Periods” be the name for several of the forms - Banking, A/P, A/R, etc. This caused confusion because our team didn’t realize they were different forms. They would check for Unreleased Documents in one, assume there were none anywhere, and then hit issues later because they had only checked A/P, not A/R, and so on. So we renamed them. Now our team can work their way down the list and know exactly where they are every step of the way. I’ve noticed that this specific scenario is no longer a problem with 8 & 9 bu

Hi everyone!One of the most underutilized personalizations in JAMIS Prime is Side Panels!  Side Panels are available starting in v7.0 and evolve even more in v8.0.  In its simplest form, a side panel allows you to view a form from an entry list.  The most common example I’ll share is for AP Bills and Adjustments.  When you navigate to AP Bills and Adjustments you first see the AP Bills and Adjustments entry list.  If you configure this generic inquiry to include a Side Panel you’ll be able to view the full AP Bill on the side of the screen as you make your way through the AP Bills and Adjustments list.  Screen shots are included below.  While we used AP Bills and Adjustments for this example it can be done on any generic inuiry to include the AR Invoices and Memos entry list, the GL Journal Transactions entry list, etc.If you need more support with this or would like more information on how side panels evolve to include data entry forms you can review the product relea

In this business case I want to dashboard a doughnut chart that displayes the product versions that customers are on, but we store the data as a long string (i.e. 8.0_20250306.1 Update 12) and for the chart I only want the first three places.  By using the Substring function I was able to add a column with just 8.0 and this made the chart and Legend much more manageable in the dashboard.Here's how:Add a calculated field to your Generic Inquiry. In the calculated field's formula, use the Substring(str, start, length) function. str: This is the field containing the data you want to segment, such as an Account or Subaccount field. start: This is the starting position of the segment you want to extract within the field, counting from the left (first character is position 1). length: This is the length of the segment you want to extract. 

Generic Inquiries (GIs) in JAMIS Prime v8.0 allow for conditional formatting of rows, enabling users to highlight rows based on specific criteria. This feature enhances data visualization by visually distinguishing rows based on their data values. To implement conditional formatting in a Generic Inquiry:Navigate to the Generic Inquiry: Open the Generic Inquiry in questionSelect the Results Grid Tab: Go to the "Results Grid" tab, where you'll find the "Row Style" box.Click the Pencil Icon: Click the pencil icon within the "Row Style" field to open the formula editor.Enter the Formula: Write an IIF statement to define the condition for highlighting. The formula should evaluate a specific field and apply a style based on the outcome.Specify Styles: Choose the desired style (e.g., color, font) for rows that meet the condition and optionally, a different style for rows that don't meet the condition.Validate and Save: Click "Validate

Hello All,I have prepyament entry but it didn’t applied the bill. Also, the bill is created and closed so how to clear out prepayment. it’s still open status. 

We currently run Prime Version 8, Update 12Question 1: The Approvals screen (EP503010) doesn’t allow approvers to see the timesheets that they have already approved. Sometimes they need to reject after approving  (same day, prior to processing), which they can do on the Timesheet Approvals screen (WM3033JM) on the All Records tab. Will this be available on the Approvals screen (EP503010) when the Timesheet Approvals screen (WM3033JM) is removed in a future version?Question 2: Is there a way to scroll through timesheets pending my approval instead of having to go back to the list in between each one?Thanks for your help,Dianne AguileraIMS, Inc.

In our current version of Jamis Prime, the workflow on the Vendors screen (AP303000) is read only. I would like to create a custom workflow for vendor approvals. Is there a configuration I can select that would allow for me to extend the workflow to include our requirements? 

Is there a way to wrap the text for the titles of the menu items in workspaces?  If you look at the example below, several of the listed menu items seem to be duplicates, but are actually similar pages with longer names that are different towards the end. Is there a way to wrap the text, or expand the ‘column’ sizes within the workspaces?  

This issue affects all versions of JAMIS Prime.When using the JAMIS Prime Outlook add-in, either of the following issues may occur:The JAMIS Prime Outlook add-in side panel is blank.

What is the best practice for T&E Approval Groups that are no longer needed/valid? We’ve been just letting them sit there, but would it be bad to delete them after a certain amount of time has passed? I always remove the employees from the group to a TERMED group so there isn’t anyone linked to it anymore.

How does everyone handle vendor notifications for ACH payments?We have a business event set up but after upgrading to 8, the Additional Remittance Form attachment started printing blank. The email was sending blank attachments for months before we realized. After a lot of trial & error (and searching the communities here) I was able to edit the notification to at least tell the vendor how much the payment was, and, eventually, I was able to get the Additional Remittance Form working again too. But it would be even better if I could get the email to list the vendor reference numbers and individual amounts paid.
