Element Description
Retainage Mode

The mode that defines how retainage should be processed for the project.

You can select one of the following options:

  • Standard: Retainage is processed as standard retainage.
  • Contract Cap: Retainage is processed as contract cap retainage, with the retainage percent and cap specified at the project level. When the cap amount is reached, the total retained amount held for each project is reallocated across the invoice lines based on their weight and retainage capacity. If this mode is selected, the Cap (%) box appears in the section.

    The mode can be selected if the Create Pro Forma Invoice on Billing check box is selected in the Billing and Allocations Settings section.

  • Contract Item Cap: Retainage is processed as contract item cap retainage, with the retainage percent and cap specified at the project line level. This mode is used if a retainage amount for each revenue budget line should not be exceeded. If this mode is selected, the Use Steps check box becomes unavailable.

The default value is inherited from the project template, but you can modify it if needed.

Tip: To configure a project with no retainage, specify 0 in the Retainage (%) box.

The box appears in the section if the Payment Application by Line feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Contract Total

The sum of the original budgeted amounts of all the revenue budget lines of the project if the Include CO check box is cleared, or the sum of the revised budgeted amounts of all the revenue budget lines of the project if the Include CO check box is selected.

Include CO

A check box that indicates (if selected) that change order amounts are to be included in the calculation of the contract total for the project. The default value is inherited from the project template.

Completed (%)

The percent of project completion, which is calculated as follows:

Completed (%) = (Draft Invoice Amount total + Actual Amount total) / Contract Total

The total amounts in this formula represent the sum of the values in the respective columns (Draft Invoice Amount and Actual Amount) on the Revenue Budget tab.

Total Retained Amount

The total of the Total Retained Amount column on the Revenue Budget tab.

Retainage (%)

The percent of an invoice amount issued for the project that is retained by the customer.

Tip: To configure a project with no retainage, specify 0 in this box.

If the project has been created from a project template, the default value is copied from the template settings on the Project Templates (PM208000) form. If the project has been created from scratch, when you select a customer for the project, the system populates this box with the Retainage Percent of the customer from the Retainage Settings section on the General tab of the Customers (AR303000) form.

The system will use this value to automatically populate the retainage percent for the revenue budget lines of the project on the Revenue Budget tab of this form, for the invoice lines on the Time and Material tab of the Pro Forma Invoices (PM307000) form, and for the AR invoice lines that originate from the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) form. Also, the system will use this value to populate retainage percent for AR invoice lines if the invoice will be created manually on the Invoices and Memos form for the combination of the customer and the project and the Apply Retainage check box will be selected for the invoice.

The box is available if the Retainage Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Use Steps

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the stepped processing of retainage is enabled. You can select this check box if Standard or Contract Cap is selected in the Retainage Mode box.

If this check box is selected, the Stepped Retainage table becomes available at the bottom of the Retainage section of settings.

Cap (%)

The cap of the project completion percent, which defines the maximum retainage amount held for the project.

The cap amount is calculated as follows:

Cap Amount = Contract Total * Cap (%) * Retainage (%)

Once the Total Retainage Amount reaches the cap amount, no new retainage amount is calculated during the progress billing unless the cap amount is increased.

The box appears in the section if the Contract Cap mode is selected in the Retainage Mode box.

Table 7. Stepped Retainage TableThis table appears in this section if the Retainage Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and if the Use Steps check box is selected in the section.
Column Description
Threshold (%)

Retainage (%)

The new retainage percent to be applied to the project revenue budget lines at the threshold of project completion specified in this row.

Table 8. AIA SectionThis section, which appears on the form if the Construction feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form, contains the settings for the AIA reports to be prepared for the current project.
Column Description
AIA Level An option that specifies whether the continuation sheet lines in the prepared AIA reports will be grouped. Select one of the following values:
  • Summary: To group the continuation sheet lines by project tasks
  • Detail: To specify the continuation sheet lines without grouping (as they are presented in the corresponding pro forma invoices)

If the project has been created from a template, this setting is initially populated with the value specified in the AIA Level box on the Summary tab (AIA section) of the Project Templates (PM208000) form.

Last Application Nbr. The application number that has been assigned to the last pro forma invoice with progress billing lines prepared for the current project. This number is incremented each time a new pro forma invoice is created but is not changed when a new revision of a pro forma invoice is created.
By default, the application number is a four-digit value that the system assigns sequentially: The first pro forma invoice is assigned 0001, the second one is assigned 0002, and so on. You can change the format of the application number by adding letters, symbols, and extra digits to fit the internal application number format of the company.
Note: An application number is unique within the project but is not unique across projects. That is, each pro forma invoice related to the project has a unique application number, but pro forma invoices related to different projects may have the same application numbers.

If the project has been created from a template, this setting is initially populated based on the value in the Application Nbr. Format box on the Summary tab (AIA section) of the Project Templates form. If the format is not specified in the project template, the four-digit format is used by default.

Show Quantity in AIA Report

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the AIA report with quantity, AIA Report with Quantity (PM644500), is prepared for the project when you select a line with a pro forma invoice in the table on the Invoices tab of the current form and click the AIA Report button on the table toolbar. If this check box is cleared, the standard AIA report, AIA Report (PM644000), is prepared.

If the Create Pro Forma Invoice on Billing check box is cleared for the project, the column shows the total amount of unreleased accounts receivable invoices, credit memos, and debit memos.

Actual Quantity

The total quantity of the lines of the released accounts receivable invoices that correspond to the revenue budget line.

When the system creates a new budget line based on a source document line, if the source line has an inventory item specified, the system fills in the quantity of the budget line with the quantity of the source line. Otherwise, if the source line has no inventory item specified or has the empty item code specified, the system does not fill in the quantity of the budget line.

Note: The quantity is updated only if the UOM is specified in the budget line and if the system can convert the UOM of the document line to the UOM of the budget line by using the list of unit conversions defined on the Units of Measure form.
Actual Amount

The total amount of the lines of the released accounts receivable invoices that correspond to the revenue budget line.

The amount is shown in the project currency, which is specified in the Project Currency box on the Summary tab. If you click View Base in the Summary area, the amount is shown in the base currency.

Hist. Actual Amount in Base Currency The total amount of the lines of the released accounts receivable invoices that correspond to the revenue budget line. The amount is shown in the base currency only.
Completed (%)

The percentage of the work that has been completed on the revenue budget line.

If the line is billed based on amount and the Pending Invoice Amount is manually changed or is changed by means of a released change order, the Completed (%) is recalculated as follows: Completed (%) = (Draft Invoice Amount + Actual Amount + Pending Invoice Amount) / Revised Budgeted Amount * 100%.

If the line is billed based on quantity and the Pending Invoice Quantity is manually changed or is changed by means of a released change order, the Completed (%) is recalculated as follows:

Completed % = (Draft Invoice Quantity + Actual Quantity + Pending Invoice Quantity) / Revised Budgeted Quantity * 100%

The system does not update the Completed (%) on release of a pro forma invoice or an accounts receivable invoice.

Pending Invoice Quantity

The quantity for which the customer will be billed during the next billing.

If the line is billed based on amount, the system sets the value in this column to 0. If the line is billed based on quantity, you enter the number of units to be billed in this column.

Important: Project-related invoices, debit memos, and credit memos that have been created manually on the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) form are not included in pending invoice quantities and amounts.
Pending Invoice Amount

The amount for which the customer will be billed during the next billing.

If the line is billed based on amount, you specify this value manually. This amount can take rational values, including negative ones.

If the line is billed based on quantity, the system calculates the value in this column as the pending invoice quantity multiplied by the unit rate specified in the line.

If the Completed (%) value is manually changed, the column values are recalculated as follows: Pending Invoice Amount = Revised Budgeted Amount * Completed (%) / 100 - (Actual Amount + Draft Invoice Amount).
Important: Project-related invoices, debit memos, and credit memos that have been created manually on the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) form are not included in pending invoice quantities and amounts.

The amount is shown in the project currency, which is specified in the Project Currency box on the Summary tab. If you click View Base in the Summary area, the amount is shown in the base currency.

Performance (%) The task performance measure, which the system calculates as follows:
  • If the line is billed based on amount, this is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the actual amount to the revised budgeted amount.
  • If the line is billed based on quantity, this is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the actual quantity to the revised budgeted quantity.
Retainage (%)

The percent of the invoice line amount to be retained by the customer. By default is populated with the value of the Retainage (%) box in the Retainage section on the Summary tab of this form. The value can be overridden.

The column appears in the table if the Retainage Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form, the Standard or Contract Item Cap retainage mode is selected in the Retainage Mode box and the Use Steps check box is cleared for the project in the Retainage section on the Summary tab of this form.

Retainage Cap Amount

The cap amount of the revenue budget line.

The amount is shown in the project currency, which is specified in the Project Currency box on the Summary tab. If you click View Base in the Summary area, the amount is shown in the base currency.

The system calculates this amount as follows:

Retainage Cap Amount = Budgeted Amount * Cap (%) * Retainage (%)

The Budgeted Amount is the original budgeted amount of the revenue budget line if the Include CO check box is cleared in the Retainage section on the Summary tab of this form, or the revised budgeted amount of the revenue budget line if the Include CO check box is selected.

The column appears in the table if the Retainage Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and the Contract Item Cap retainage mode is selected in the Retainage Mode box in the Retainage section of the Summary tab of this form.

Draft Retained Amount

The total of the retainage amounts for the lines of all pro forma invoices related to the revenue budget line that are on hold or open, plus the total of the unreleased retainage for the lines of the unreleased AR invoices.

Important: The system does not track the retainage amounts being held or released for AR invoices that have the Pay by Line check box cleared in the Summary area of the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) form. To update the Draft Retained Amount and Retained Amount, you need to run project balance recalculation by clicking Recalculate Project Balance on the More menu of the current form.

The amount is shown in the project currency, which is specified in the Project Currency box on the Summary tab. If you click View Base in the Summary area, the amount is shown in the base currency.

The column appears in the table if the Retainage Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Retained Amount

The total of the retainage amounts for the lines of all released invoices related to the revenue budget line.

Important: The system does not track retainage amounts being held or released for AR invoices that have the Pay by Line check box cleared in the Summary area of the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) form. To update the Draft Retained Amount and Retained Amount, you need to run project balance recalculation by clicking Recalculate Project Balance on the More menu of the current form.

The amount is shown in the project currency, which is specified in the Project Currency box on the Summary tab. If you click View Base in the Summary area, the amount is shown in the base currency.

Depending on whether the Pay by Line check box is selected in the Summary area of the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) form for the accounts receivable invoices related to the revenue budget line, the retained amount is calculated as follows:

  • If the check box is selected, the retained amount is calculated as the sum of the Unreleased Retainage amount of the related AR invoice lines. The retained amount is automatically decreased when retainage is released—that is, when the Unreleased Retainage amount is decreased. Negative retainage amounts and retainage in credit memos are not considered in the calculation.
  • If the check box is cleared, the retained amount is calculated as the sum of the Retainage Amount of the related AR invoice lines. The retained amount is not decreased because these AR invoices have no unreleased retainage balances.

The column appears in the table if the Retainage Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Total Retained Amount

The total retainage amount of all the lines of pro forma invoices (with any status) related to the revenue budget line.

The amount is shown in the project currency, which is specified in the Project Currency box on the Summary tab. If you click View Base in the Summary area, the amount is shown in the base currency.

Once the Total Retainage Amount of the line reaches the Retainage Cap Amount, no new retainage amount is calculated during the progress billing for this line unless the Retainage Cap Amount is increased.

The column appears in the table if the Retainage Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Progress Billing Base The value that the system uses as the basis for progress billing of this revenue budget line. You can select one of the following options:
  • Amount: The system bills this revenue budget line based on the value in the Pending Invoice Amount column.
  • Quantity: The system bills this revenue budget line based on the value in the Pending Invoice Quantity column. The system calculates the value in the Pending Invoice Amount column as the pending invoice quantity multiplied by the unit rate specified in the line.
Tax Category

The tax category for the revenue budget line.

By default, the system inserts the tax category that has been specified for the non-stock or stock item specified in the line. If no item is selected in the line or the item has no tax category defined, the system inserts into this column the tax category of the task specified in the line. If the task also has no tax category defined, this column is empty.

If the revenue budget line is copied from a template defined on the Project Templates (PM208000) form, by default, the system inserts the tax category defined in the template. If no tax category is defined at the template level, the system selects the tax category using the logic described in the previous paragraph.

If you change the item or task for the revenue budget line, the system changes the tax category by using the logic described above.

Cost Budget Tab

This tab lists all the project costs that can be created manually or generated by the project transactions and commitments—that is, that can be generated for the corresponding project, project task, inventory item or cost code, and expense account mapped to the account group. The Cost Budget Update setting on the Projects Preferences (PM101000) form determines whether the system generates a cost budget line for each inventory item or generates a single line with the empty item code for multiple cost transactions that have the same task and account group but different inventory items.

Table 17. Table Selection AreaThe selection area includes the criteria listed below, which you can use to affect the data shown in the table.
Element Description
Project Task A task of the project. If a task is selected, the table lists only the cost budget lines with this task.
Tip: If a project task is selected in the box, when you click Add Row on the table toolbar, the system automatically specifies the selected project task in the newly created line.
Group by Task

A check box that you select to display in the table all the cost budget lines with the same task as a single line.

When the budget lines are grouped by task, the system shows the total for each numeric column of the table in the bottom-most row.

Table 19. Table Columns
Button Description
Project Task A task of the project.
Inventory ID

The stock or non-stock inventory item that is associated with the cost budget line, or the empty item code specified on the Projects Preferences (PM101000) form).

The column is shown if Task and Item or Task, Item, and Cost Code is selected as the Cost Budget Level on the Summary tab of the form for the project.

If Task or Task and Cost Code is selected as the Cost Budget Level on the Summary tab of the form for the project, the column is hidden by default but can be exposed if needed.

Cost Code

The cost code that is associated with the cost budget line. You can change the cost code value for each line.

The column is shown if the Cost Code feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form and Task and Cost Code or Task, Item, and Cost Code is selected as the Cost Budget Level on the Summary tab of the form for the project.

If Task or Task and Item is selected as the Cost Budget Level on the Summary tab of the form for the project, the column is hidden by default but can be exposed if needed.

Account Group The account group to which the corresponding expense account is mapped. In addition to the account groups of the Expense type, you can select the Off-Balance account groups for which the Expense check box is selected on the Account Groups (PM201000) form.

If an inventory item is selected in the line, the system automatically specifies the account group as follows:

  • For a line with a non-stock item, this is an account group mapped to an account specified in the Expense Account box on the GL Accounts tab of the Non-Stock Items form.
  • For a line with stock item, this is an account group mapped to an account specified in the COGS Account box on the GL Accounts tab of the Stock Items form.
Description The description of the cost budget line.
Original Budgeted Quantity The original budgeted quantity of the task and optionally the inventory item or cost code.
UOM

The unit of measure of the cost budget line. If an inventory item is selected in the Inventory ID column, the UOM is automatically selected as the base unit of measure of this inventory item and can be changed to another UOM available for the item.

If the budget line is created based on the project template selected in the Template box in the summary area of this form, the system uses the UOM of the corresponding budget line of this project template. If no UOM is defined for the corresponding budget line of the selected project template, the system selects the UOM by using the logic described above.

If the item is not specified, any existing UOM can be selected. By default, the system inserts the empty item code specified on the Projects Preferences form.

When the system creates a new budget line based on a source document line, if the source line has an inventory item specified, the system fills in the UOM with the base unit of measure of this inventory item. Otherwise, if the source line has no inventory item specified or has the empty item code specified, the system does not fill in the UOM.

Unit Rate

The cost of the specified unit of the cost budget line. By default, the system populates this column with the cost of the inventory item selected in the budget line.

The amount is shown in the project currency, which is specified in the Project Currency box on the Summary tab. If you click View Base in the Summary area, the amount is shown in the base currency.

If the Change Orders feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and the Change Order Workflow check box is selected for the project on the Summary tab, in the new cost budget line created based on the change order, the unit rate is copied from the corresponding change order line.

For more details on how the system selects the cost, see Project Budget: Update of Budget Lines.

Original Budgeted Amount

The original budgeted amount of the task and optionally the inventory item or cost code. For the Original Budgeted Quantity, UOM, and Unit Rate specified for the line, the amount is calculated as Original Budgeted Amount = Original Budgeted Quantity * Unit Rate.

The amount is shown in the project currency, which is specified in the Project Currency box on the Summary tab. If you click View Base in the Summary area, the amount is shown in the base currency.
