Aged Work In Progress Report

The Aged Work in Progress report provides a breakdown of billable and no-charge costs that have not yet been invoiced and posted in Accounts Receivable for projects that use item invoices.

Time and materials projects always use item invoices, and you can choose to use item invoices for fixed price projects that use the billings and costs or accrual-basis accounting method.

Note that costs for projects that use the accrual-basis accounting method do not accumulate in the Work In Progress account and therefore they do not appear on the report.

You can print the report showing totals for a selected range of contracts or for selected ranges of contracts and projects.

All the projects in a contract are grouped and subtotaled by currency.

The report groups costs into a current period and four aging periods. It also shows:

The last invoice date and the total work in progress amount for each contract.
An aged work in progress amount for each project.
Aged work in progress amounts and total work in progress amounts for each customer.
A total work in progress amount for the report.

Print the report any time you want a report of work in progress amounts.

Before you start

Post in Accounts Receivable any unposted batches (including documents with zero totals) created in Project and Job Costing to ensure that the Aged Work in Progress report is up to date.

To print the Aged Work in Progress report:

Choose the Aged Work In Progress icon from the PJC Analytical Reports folder.
Specify the following report options:

Age As Of. Specify the date on which to report the work in progress amounts. The program uses this date to assign amounts to aging periods by calculating the number of days between the transaction date and the Age As Of date.
Cutoff By
The report includes only those transactions or balances with a document date before the cutoff date you specify.

There are two methods for selecting a cutoff date:
- Transaction Date. Use this method if you want to include all transactions up to a specific date that is not the fiscal period end date. Enter a date in the Cutoff Date field.
- Fiscal Year/Period. Use this method if you want to include all transactions up to the end of a fiscal period. Make your selection in the Year/Period field.
Sort By

Specify whether to sort costs on the report by customer or by currency, if you use multicurrency in your system.

If you sort by customer, the report shows subtotals for each contract and customer in the customer's currency. It also provides a report total for each currency.

If you sort by currency, the report shows subtotals for each contract in the customer's currency. It also provides a report total for each currency
