Pro Forma Invoice Correction: Process Activity

In this activity, you will learn how to correct a pro forma invoice for which the corresponding accounts receivable document released.

Attention: This activity is based on the U100 dataset. If you are using another dataset, or if any system settings have been changed in U100, these changes can affect the workflow of the activity and the results of the processing. To avoid any issues, restore the U100 dataset to its initial state.

Story

Suppose that in January, the Thai Food Restaurant customer ordered five juicers along with the service of installation from the SweetLife Fruits & Jams company. The parties agreed to pay for the juicers and provided services monthly. SweetLife's project manager created a project for this work. In January, SweetLife delivered and installed two juicers; SweetLife's project accountant billed the customer. In February, SweetLife delivered and installed three juicers and the project accountant billed the customer.

Suppose that the project accountant has realized that in January the customer was billed for one juicer and the corresponding service instead of two juicers. The pro forma invoice was already used for printing the AIA report, so the accountant cannot just create one more invoice but need to adjust the first pro forma invoice. Acting as the project accountant, you will correct the pro forma invoice.

Configuration Overview

In the U100 dataset, the following tasks have been performed for the purposes of this activity:

  • On the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the following features have been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form:
    • Project Accounting, which provides support for the project accounting functionality
    • Construction, which gives you the ability to make corrections to pro forma invoices with the corresponding AR document released
  • On the Projects (PM301000) form, the TOMYUM12 project has been created, and the INSTALL project task has been created for the project.
  • On 1/30/2020, the 000005 pro forma invoice has been created for the project, and the 000089 accounts receivable invoice has been created and released for the pro forma invoice.
  • On 2/28/2020, the 000006 pro forma invoice has been created for the project, and the 000090 accounts receivable invoice has been created and released for the pro forma invoice.

Process Overview

In this activity, on the Pro Forma Invoices (PM307000) form, you will initiate the correcting of a pro forma invoice for the project. You will adjust and release the pro forma invoice on the same form. On the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) form, you will release the accounts receivable invoice created based on the pro forma invoice and the credit memo created for reversing the previous AR invoice.

  1. Launch the MYOB Advanced website, and sign in to a company with the U100 dataset preloaded as Pam Brawner by using the brawner username and the 123 password.
  2. In the info area, in the upper-right corner of the top pane of the MYOB Advanced screen, make sure that the business date in your system is set to 1/30/2023.

Step 1: Correcting the Pro Forma Invoice

To correct the 000005 invoice for the TOMYUM12 project, do the following:

  1. On the Projects (PM301000) form, open the TOMYUM12 project.

    On the Invoices tab, review the related pro forma invoices and accounts receivable invoices. Notice that the status of both pro forma invoices is Closed and the status of both accounts receivable invoices is Open, which means the AR invoices are also released.

  2. On the Pro Forma Invoices (PM307000) form, open the 000005 pro forma invoice.

    In the Summary area, notice that the Invoice Total is 1700.00. You need to double this amount.

    On the Time and Material tab, make sure that there no invoice lines. On the Financial tab, notice that there is the 000089 reference number of the corresponding AR invoice in the AR Ref. Nbr. box (Invoice Settings section) and the Previous Revisions table is empty.

  3. On the form toolbar, click Correct to make corrections to the pro forma invoice. The system assigns the invoice the On Hold status.

    On the Financial tab, notice that the AR Ref. Nbr. box (Invoice Settings section) has been cleared and a row with the previous revision of the pro forma invoice has appeared in the Previous Revisions table. The invoice total of the revision is 1700.00 and the AR reference number is 000089.

  4. On the Progress Billing tab, in the lines with the following items, enter the corresponding amount in the Amount to Invoice column:
    • INSTALL: 400.00
    • JUICER10: 3000.00

    In the Summary area, make sure that the invoice total is 3400.00.

  5. On the form toolbar, click Remove Hold, and then click Release to release the pro forma invoice.

    The system creates the accounts receivable invoice based on the pro forma invoice and assigns the Closed status to the pro forma invoice. On the Financial tab, in the Previous Revisions table, notice that the system has created the reversing credit memo for the AR invoice of the previous revision and filled in the Reversing Doc Type and Reversing Ref. Nbr. columns.

  6. While you are still on the Financial tab, do the following to release the created AR invoice:
    1. In the AR Ref. Nbr. box (Invoice Settings section), click the link to open the accounts receivable invoice that was created.
    2. On the form toolbar of the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) form, which the system opens in a pop-up window, click Remove Hold, and then click Release to release the accounts receivable invoice.
    3. Close the pop-up window with the form.
  7. On the Financial tab (to which you return), do the following to release the reversing credit memo:
    1. In the Reversing Ref. Nbr. column of the Previous Revisions table, click the link to open the credit memo.
    2. On the form toolbar of the Invoices and Memos form, which the system opens in a pop-up window, click Remove Hold, and then click Release to release the credit memo.
    3. Close the pop-up window with the form.
  8. On the Projects form, open the TOMYUM12 project.

    On the Invoices tab, notice that the invoice total of the 000005 pro forma invoice you have corrected is 3400.00. Notice that the previous revision of the AR invoice and the credit memo that reverses that AR invoice are also shown in the table.
