Projects and Construction: Import of Subcontracts in Migration Mode

In previous versions of MYOB Acumatica Construction Edition, users had no ability to migrate historical data for subcontracts from a legacy system. If migration mode was active, the Subcontracts (SC301000) form was not available for data entry, and the users could not link a subcontract or subcontract line to a bill line on the Bills and Adjustments (AP301000) form.

In MYOB Acumatica Construction Edition 2024.2.1, migration mode in the accounts payable subledger now supports the creation of subcontracts. For more information, see Migrating Documents to MYOB Acumatica.

Import of Subcontracts

A user can now select the Activate Migration Mode check box on the Accounts Payable Preferences (AP101000) form and import subcontracts with their balances, original amounts, and dates without affecting the general ledger. When the migration mode for the accounts payable subledger is active, the user can now do the following:

  • Create migrated subcontracts manually on the Subcontracts (SC301000) form. To mass-import migrated subcontracts from the legacy system, the user can configure an import scenario on the Import Scenarios (SM306025). When the user runs the import scenario on the Import by Scenario (SM206036) form, the system creates subcontracts.
  • Link a line of a migrated bill to a subcontract or subcontract line on the Bills and Adjustments (AP301000) form by clicking Add Subcontract or Add Subcontract Line, respectively, on the Details tab of the form.

    The user can also configure an import scenario for importing historical AP documents to link these AP documents to the corresponding subcontract lines during the import. The AP documents imported in migration mode will update the values in the Billed Amount and Unbilled Amount columns in the corresponding subcontract lines on the Subcontracts form without affecting the general ledger.

Other Improvements

The following changes have also been made:

  • The footer of the Subcontracts (SC3010PL) list of records now shows the total values for the Subcontract Qty., Subcontract Total, and Unbilled Amount columns.
  • The footer of the Project Transactions (PM3040PL) list of records now shows the total of Total Amount column.
