At multi-company project time reporting, Planned cost is not recognized at Customer company

Even though the sale price from the employee company is transferred to the customer company as an internal price, it is not reflecting in the activity monitoring as planned cost. What could be causing this?

 

 

Posting Control setup at Customer company

Hi Ushani,

Based on your screenshot this is likely due to posting both PRJT7 and PRJT8 to the project code part. Normally you would only post PRJT7 (i.e. the cost) using the project code part. By also posting PRJT8 (the accounts payable amount to the employee company) using the project code part to an account in the same account group, this means that these two postings cancel each other out with regards to posting cost to the project.

As an aside, in the screenshot these posting types are both posted to accounts in the internal group. As the MCPR cost/liability refers to external cost, these would normally be posted to a cost and liability account respectively (e.g. 6990 and 2860). 

Kind regards,

Johan

Hi Johan,

 

Thanks for the information and I have changed the posting control setup on customer company as follows. 

 

Even with or without PRJT8 pre-posting record, system still fails to retrieve the planned cost.

What could be the reason for this ?

Hi Ushani,

According to the screenshot posting type PRJT8 is still set up for Code Part F with AC2. Assuming this is your project code part(?) you would need to remove it. Once this has been done run the function on the customer company transaction to update postings, then review the postings to check that only the debit posting (PRJT7) is posted to the project.

Does this help?

Kind regards,

Johan
