Environment
Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Project Management Work center
- Open Projects view and Search for Project XYZ(XYZ refers to project ID)
- Click on Edit button and Navigate to Project Overview tab and the Reports subtab
- In Financial Reports section, click in 'Project Cost and Revenue by Project Structure' link
- The Report opens and you can see that for Project task XYZ-AA the ITD Incurred Cost as '0,00' and this is not expected by you.
Cause
The project task XYZ-AA doesn't have the sales order assigned, hence value shows zero
Resolution
The data in the ITD Incurred Cost column is fetched from the actual accounting documents, the journal entry vouchers.
As the project XYZ is a customer sales project, the incurred cost of sales is derived from the Expense Assignment to Sales Order business transaction, from the generation of the customer project expense lists.
This transaction assigns the project expense to the sales order item.
If an accrual method is assigned to the sales order item then the expense is
- credited on the deferred cost of goods sold account, associated with the employee ID, the project task, Resource and G/L account (origin)
- debited on the deferred cost of goods sold account, associated with the employee ID, the project task, Resource and G/L account (origin) as well as the sales order item.
the revenue recognition run then realizes the costs on the G/L account (origin) based on the costs assigned to the sales order item.
When you add the Employee (Account Assignment) and see the data, we can see the ITD incurred costs are shown.
Also, sales document item has no Accrual method assigned, this could be an issue
