Release

Releases the document and generates the corresponding accounts receivable invoice.

The pro forma invoices of a project can be released only one by one, starting from the earliest one, on the Invoices tab of the Projects (PM301000) form. The only exception is when multiple pro forma invoices grouped by invoice group have been generated during a single iteration of the billing process; in this case, these pro forma invoices can be released in any order.

A pro forma invoice of a particular project can be released only after the accounts receivable invoice of the preceding pro forma invoice of the project has been released.

This command appears if the document has the Open status.

Remove Hold

Changes the status of the pro forma invoice to Open, making it possible to release the document, or Pending Approval if the approval map is selected for pro forma invoices on the Projects Preferences (PM101000) form.

Reassign Approval Dialog Box

In this dialog box, you can specify the new approver to whom you want to reassign the selected record or records. The dialog box opens when you click Reassign.

ElementDescription
New ApproverThe name of the employee to whom you want to reassign the selected record or records.
Ignore Approver's Delegations

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the system will assign the selected records to the specified new approver but not to their delegate, even if the new approver is unavailable and has a delegation set up for the current business date.

If the check box is cleared and if the new approver is not available and has a delegation set up for the current date, the system will reassign the selected records to the delegate if the delegate is available. If the delegate is unavailable, the system will reassign the requests to the delegate of the delegate. The system will continue the search in this way until it assigns an approver that has no active delegations set up for the current date or it detects a loop in the chain of delegations (in which case you will have to specify a different approver).

This dialog box has the following buttons.
ReassignCloses the dialog box and reassigns the selected record or records to the specified new approver if the reassignment of approvals is allowed in the related rule of the approval map on the Approval Maps (EP205015) form.
CancelCloses the dialog box and cancels the reassignment of the selected record or records to a new approver.

Summary Area

You can use the elements in this area to select an existing pro forma invoice and view its details.

Element Description
Reference Nbr.

The reference number of the pro forma invoice.

The system automatically assigns the reference number by using the numbering sequence specified on the Projects Preferences (PM101000) form.

Status

The status of the pro forma invoice.

The following statuses are available:

  • On Hold: The user can edit the document but cannot release it.
  • Pending Approval: The pro forma invoice has been taken off hold (that is, the status is assigned when Remove Hold is clicked on the form toolbar). On the Approvals (EP503010) form, a pro forma invoice with this status is visible to the employee who has been assigned to approve the pro forma invoice.

    This status is available only if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form and pro forma invoice approval is configured.

  • Rejected: The employee who was assigned to approve the pro forma invoice has rejected it.

    This status is available only if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form and pro forma invoice approval is configured.

  • Open: The employee who was assigned to approve the pro forma invoice has approved it. If no approval is configured for pro forma invoices, the system assigns this status to the pro forma invoice when Remove Hold is clicked on the form toolbar. You can release the pro forma invoice or put it on hold for further editing.
  • Closed: The document has been released and cannot be edited.
Invoice Date

The date on which the pro forma invoice was created. You can change this date, if needed.

You can enter only a date that corresponds to a financial period that has been generated on the Master Financial Calendar (GL201000) form. If the date that you enter belongs to a financial period that has not yet been generated in the system—for example, for a date in the distant future or past—the system will display an error message, and you will not be able to save the document.

Post Period

The financial period that corresponds to the invoice date and to which the corresponding accounts receivable document should be posted.

The financial period is company-specific and defined based on the originating branch of the invoice and the invoice date. For more information on company-specific financial periods, see Multiple Calendar Support.

Customer Order Nbr.

The original reference number or ID assigned by the customer to the customer document. This number can be entered for informational purposes. On release of the pro forma invoice, the system will copy this reference number to the corresponding accounts receivable invoice.

Application Nbr.

The application number that has been assigned to the current pro forma invoice.

By default, the application number is a four-digit value that the system assigns sequentially to the pro forma invoice generated during the billing of a project by progress: The first pro forma invoice prepared for the project is assigned 0001, the second one is assigned 0002, and so on. For a project, you can change the format of the application number by specifying the new application number in the Last Application Nbr. box on the Summary tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.

The application number is not changed when a new revision of a pro forma invoice is created. You can override the application number in a pro forma invoice that is assigned the On Hold status.

Description The description of the pro forma invoice, which is provided by the billing rule and can be manually modified.
Project The project associated with the pro forma invoice.
Customer The customer associated with the project.
Location

The default location of the project tasks that are specified in the lines of the pro forma invoice.

If no default location is specified for the project task, the system populates this box with the default location of the project, which is specified in the Default Location box on the Summary tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.

This element is available only if the Business Account Locations feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Currency

The currency of the pro forma invoice. The currency exchange rate for the invoice is the default exchange rate type of the customer and customer location.

If the Multicurrency Projects feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the system creates the pro forma invoice in the billing currency of the project specified in the Billing Currency box on the Summary tab (Billing and Allocation Settings section) of the Projects (PM301000) form.

This element is available only if the Multicurrency Accounting feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Note:
When integration with an external tax provider is configured, and the pro forma invoice has some unsaved changes, the Tax is not up-to-date warning message is shown for this total. The system hides the warning message when you save the pro forma invoice or execute the Recalculate External Tax command.
Invoice Total

The total amount of the pro forma invoice. The system calculates this value by using the following formula: Invoice Total = Progress Billing Total + Time and Material Total + Tax Total - Inclusive Tax Amount Total - Retained Inclusive Tax Amount Total.

Important:
The calculated Invoice Total amount may have a rounding difference from the sum of the Progress Billing Total and Time and Materials Total amounts.
Over-Limit Total

The total Over-Limit Amount from the Time and Material tab that exceeds the billing limit.

The total is shown only if the Use T&M Revenue Budget Limits check box is selected for the project on the Summary tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.

The validation level of the billing limit may vary, from a simple warning that is shown in this box and does not block the processing of the pro forma invoice to an error that prevents the pro forma invoice from being processed further until the invoice amount is within the limit. The desired behavior is specified in the Validate T&M Revenue Budget Limits box on the Projects Preferences (PM101000) form.

Retainage Total

The total retained amount of the pro forma invoice.

The system calculates this amount as the sum of the values in the Retainage Amount column on the Progress Billing tab plus the sum of the values in the Retained Amount column on the Time and Material tab plus the sum of the values in the Retained Tax column on the Taxes tab.

The box appears in the Summary area if the Retainage Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Actual Quantity The actual quantity of the corresponding revenue budget line on the Revenue Budget tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.
Note:
The system calculates the quantity in the units of measure specified in this budget line. If another UOM is specified in the pro forma invoice line or accounts receivable invoice line, and unit conversion is defined on the Units of Measure (CS203100) form, the system converts the UOM of the document line to the UOM of the budget line.
Previously Invoiced Quantity

The running total of the Quantity to Invoice column on this tab for all the lines of preceding pro forma invoices that refer to the same revenue budget line.

The system calculates this value by totaling lines of all preceding pro forma invoices that have the same project budget key, the same unit of measure, and a reference number that is less than the reference number of the current pro forma invoice. If the revenue budget was restructured, the quantities of the preceding pro forma invoices may be not included in this value due to changes in the project budget key.

Previously Invoiced Amount

The running total of the Amount to Invoice column on this tab for all the lines of preceding pro forma invoices that refer to the same revenue budget line.

The system calculates this value by totaling lines of all preceding pro forma invoices that have the same project budget key, the same unit of measure, and a reference number that is less than the reference number of the current pro forma invoice. If the revenue budget was restructured, the amounts of the preceding pro forma invoices may be not included in this value due to changes in the project budget key.

Total Completed (%)

The percentage of the revised budgeted amount of the revenue budget line of the project that has been invoiced by all the pro forma invoices of the project, including the current one.

The system calculates this percentage by using the following formulas:

  • If the line was billed based on amount: Total Completed (%) = ( Previously Invoiced Amount + Amount to Invoice ) / Revised Budgeted Amount * 100

    You can modify this percentage; in this case, the system automatically recalculates the values in the Amount to Invoice and Currently Invoiced (%) columns of the line.

  • If the line was billed based on quantity: Total Completed (%) = ( Previously Invoiced Quantity + Quantity to Invoice ) / Revised Budgeted Quantity * 100

    You can modify this percentage; in this case, the system automatically recalculates the values in the Amount to Invoice, Quantity to Invoice, and Currently Invoiced (%) columns of the line.

Quantity to Invoice The quantity to bill the customer. This value is copied from the Pending Invoice Quantity of the corresponding line of the project on the Revenue Budget tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.
UOM The unit of measure. This value is copied from the corresponding revenue budget line of the project on the Revenue Budget tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.

The amount to bill the customer. By default, this is the Pending Invoice Amount of the corresponding line of the project on the Revenue Budget tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.

Note:
The calculated inclusive taxes and retained inclusive taxes are included in this amount.

If the Construction feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the amount to bill the customer also includes the amount of material stored (that is, Amount to Invoice = Amount + Stored Material.

You can modify the amount in this column; in this case, the system automatically recalculates the values in the Total Completed (%) and Currently Invoiced (%) columns of the line.

On creation of the accounts receivable invoice from the pro forma invoice, the system copies this amount to the Ext. Price column of the corresponding line of the accounts receivable invoice.

Currently Invoiced (%)

The percentage of the revised budgeted amount of the revenue budget line of the project that is invoiced by this pro forma invoice line.

The system calculates this percentage by using the following formulas:

  • If the line was billed based on amount: Currently Invoiced (%) = Amount to Invoice / Revised Budgeted Amount * 100

    You can modify this percentage; in this case, the system automatically recalculates the values in the Amount to Invoice and Total Completed (%) columns of the line.

  • If the line was billed based on quantity: Currently Invoiced (%) = Quantity to Invoice / Revised Budgeted Quantity * 100

    You can modify this percentage; in this case, the system automatically recalculates the values in the Amount to Invoice, Quantity to Invoice, and Total Completed (%) columns of the line.

Retainage (%)

The percent of the invoice line amount to be retained by the customer. By default, the value is copied from the corresponding revenue budget line of the project.

If the retainage with steps is configured for the project, the retainage percent is calculated based on the retainage steps used for the calculation of the retainage amount as follows: Retainage Total / Invoice Total * 100%.

The value can be overridden for any line.

The column appears in the table if the Retainage Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form and the Standard or Contract Item Cap retainage mode is selected for the project in the Retainage Mode box in the Retainage section on the Summary tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.

Quantity to Invoice

The quantity to bill the customer. When the accounts receivable invoice is created based on the pro forma invoice, the system copies this quantity to the corresponding line of the accounts receivable invoice.

By default, this quantity is equal to the Billed Quantity and can be manually modified; in this case, the system automatically recalculates the value in the Amount to Invoice column of the line as follows: Amount to Invoice = Unit Price * Quantity to Invoice.

UOM The unit of measure of the corresponding project transaction.
Unit Price

The price of the unit, which is calculated as follows:

Unit Price = Billed Amount ÷ Billed Quantity

You can modify the unit price; in this case, the system automatically recalculates the value in the Amount to Invoice column of the line as follows:

If no tax category has been specified for the project task, the tax category remains unspecified for the pro forma invoice line. You can override the default value.

Sales Account

The sales account of the corresponding project transaction. The sales account is provided from the source defined by the Use Sales Account from setting of the particular step of the billing rule.

For new lines added on this tab, the sales account is specified depending on the value of the Use Intercompany Sales Account From box on the Accounts Receivable Preferences (AR101000) form as follows:

  • If Customer Location is selected, the system inserts the sales account specified in the Sales Account box on the GL Accounts tab of the Customer Locations (AR303020) form.
  • If Inventory Item is selected, the system inserts the sales account specified in the Sales Account box on the GL Accounts tab of the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form.
Sales Subaccount

The sales subaccount of the corresponding project transaction. The sales account is provided according to the Sales Subaccount Mask setting of the particular step of the billing rule.

This column appears only if the Subaccounts feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Deferral Code

The deferral code assigned to the stock item or non-stock item specified in this document line.

When the document is released, the system generates a deferral schedule (or schedules) based on the settings defined in this deferral code. For details, see Processing Deferrals. You can change the deferral code in this box manually if needed.

Note:
If you change an MDA deferral code (the deferral code that indicates that an item is a package) to any non-MDA deferral code, the system will consider the item to not be a package and will ignore its components while generating a deferral schedule. That is, the system will generate the deferral schedule for the item based on the settings of the specified non-MDA deferral code.

This column appears only if the Deferred Revenue Management feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Max Available Amount

The maximum amount available to bill the customer based on the billing limit amount of the corresponding revenue budget line of the project.

This amount is a running total that the system calculates for each line, starting from the topmost one, on the Time and Material tab that has a nonzero Max Limit Amount by using the following formula:

Max Available Amount = Max Limit Amount - (Actual Amount + (Draft Invoice Amount - SUM(Amount to Invoice)) + SUM(Amount to Invoice from Above)).

In this formula:

  • Actual Amount: The Actual Amount of the corresponding revenue budget line on the Revenue Budget tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.
  • Draft Invoice Amount: The Draft Invoice Amount of the corresponding revenue budget line on the Revenue Budget tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.
  • Amount to Invoice: The Amount to Invoice of each line of the pro forma invoice on the Time and Material tab that corresponds to the same revenue budget line
  • Amount to Invoice from Above: The Amount to Invoice of each line of the pro forma invoice on the Time and Material tab that corresponds to the same revenue budget line and is located above the current line on the Time and Material tab

If no billing limit amount is defined for the revenue budget line of the project—that is, if the Max Limit Amount is 0—the Max Available Amount of each corresponding pro forma invoice line is 0.

This column is shown if the Use T&M Revenue Budget Limits check box is selected for the project on the Summary tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.

Max Limit Amount

The billing limit amount (Maximum Amount) of the corresponding revenue budget line of the project on the Revenue Budget tab of the Projects (PM301000) form. If no billing limit amount is defined for the revenue budget line of the project, the Max Limit Amount of each corresponding pro forma invoice line is 0.

The column is shown if the Use T&M Revenue Budget Limits check box is selected for the project on the Summary tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.

Over-Limit Amount

The amount that exceeds the billing limit. The amount is calculated as the difference between the Amount to Invoice and Max Available Amount. If this difference is negative—that is, if the Max Available Amount is greater than the Amount to Invoice—the Over-Limit Amount is 0. The invoice lines for which the Over-Limit Amount becomes nonzero exceed the limit.

This column is shown if the Use T&M Revenue Budget Limits check box is selected for the project on the Summary tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.

Sort Order The sequence number of the line, which is used to sort the lines on the tab. These numbers are assigned automatically and are changed automatically if you reorder the lines by dragging them to the appropriate positions.
Line Number The original sequence number of the line among all the pro forma invoice lines.
