The program displays the A/R item number associated with the Item Number/Resource used for the contract in Project and Job Costing. You can select a different A/R item number only for time and material projects, as follows:

• On a standard contract, the program displays the A/R item number and unit of measure specified for the project resource category as the default. You can accept the item number or select another valid A/R item number.

• On a basic contract, program displays the A/R item number and unit of measure specified for the project category. You can accept the item number or select another valid A/R item number.

• If you change the A/R item number, the item number must be a valid item number in Accounts Receivable, and the unit of measure must be a valid unit of measure both for the new item number and the vendor’s currency.

Cost plus and fixed price projects do not use an A/R item number.

This field appears only in multicurrency systems for time and materials projects and for fixed price projects using billings and costs or accrual-basis accounting methods.

The billing currency is the customer's currency specified on the contract, and you cannot change it.

Note:

• Billing currency is blank for Fixed Price projects using completed project or project percentage complete methods, and for Cost Plus projects.

• Billing currency is NOT displayed for basic or standard internal Time and Materials projects or for single-currency Fixed Price projects that use billings and costs or accrual-basis accounting methods.

Purchase Orders displays the billing rate for the specified resource (for standard contracts) or category (for basic contracts).

The billing rate is defaulted as follows.

• If the contract is a standard contract:

• For a category cost class of Subcontractor, Overhead, Miscellaneous Equipment, or Material, the billing rate is defaulted from the category resource.

• For a category cost class of Labor, the default billing rate is based on the Default Billing Rate From option for the employee resource category.

• If the contract is a basic contract:

• For a category cost class of Subcontractor, Overhead, Miscellaneous Equipment, or Material, the billing rate is defaulted from the category.

• For a category cost class of Labor, the default billing rate is based on the Default Billing Rate From option for the labor category.

The Billing Rate option does not apply to internal contracts.

You can edit the billing rate if the billing type is "Billable." The field will display 0.000000 if the billing type is Non-Billable or No Charge.

Also note:

• Billing rate can be specified for Time and Materials projects and for Fixed Price projects that use Billings and Costs or Accrual-Basis accounting methods.

• Billing rate is disabled and set to 0.000000 on a basic or standard internal contract for Time and Materials projects or for Fixed Price projects using billings and costs or accrual-basis accounting methods.

• The billing rate cannot be negative.

This field appears in the detail-entry section only for job-related purchase orders.

The billing type indicates to Project and Job Costing whether to bill the cost to the customer. You can change this field only for a time and materials project or for fixed price projects that use billings and costs or accrual-basis accounting methods (unless they are internal contracts, in which case this field will be disabled or set to non-billable).

On a basic contract:

For a billable project, the category billing type determines whether you can change the billing type for the detail. If the specified category is:

• Billable, the default billing type for the detail is billable, but you can change it.

If the detail is billable you can specify a billing rate for the detail.

If you change the billing type for the detail to no charge or non-billable, the program sets the billing rate to zero and you cannot change it.

• No charge or non-billable, the program sets the same billing type for the detail, and cannot change it. You cannot specify a billing rate for the detail, which the program sets as zero.

• If the project is no charge or non-billable, the detail uses the same billing type as the project, the billing rate is set to zero, and you cannot change them.

On a standard contract:

If the project is billable, the resource billing type determines whether you can change billing type for the detail. If the specified resource is:

• Billable, the program displays Billable as default billing type, but you can change it for the detail. If the detail is billable, you can specify a billing rate for the detail.

If you change the billing type for the detail to no charge or non-billable, the program sets the billing rate to zero, and you cannot change it.

• No charge or non-billable, the program sets same billing type for the detail, and you cannot change it. You cannot specify a billing rate for the detail, which the program sets as zero.

• If the project is no charge or non-billable, the detail uses the same billing type as the project, and you cannot change it. The program also sets the billing rate to zero, and you cannot change it.

For fixed price and cost plus projects, the Billing Type field is blank. A billing type is not required for these types of projects.

This field appears for Time and Materials projects if you selected the Job Related option for this transaction.

You must enter a unit of measure that is valid for the item number/resource that you specified and for the contract customer's currency.

Note that for internal time and materials projects (basic or standard contracts) the A/R item unit of measure will be disabled/blank.
