The program displays the A/R item number associated with the category or 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 materials 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. Internal contracts for time and materials projects also do not use an AR Item Number.

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 category or 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.

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 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).

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.

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.

• If a job-related additional cost is prorated by cost, quantity, or weight, the specified billing rate in functional currency will be prorated to the item details for projects that are Time and Materials or Fixed Price with an accounting method of billings and costs or accrual-basis.

The billing rate will not be prorated to item details for Cost Plus or Fixed Price projects with completed project or project percentage complete accounting methods. Instead, it will be converted to the contract customer’s currency when it is prorated to the item details during day end processing (using the current exchange rate).

The prorated billing rate for each detail will not be displayed (and, therefore, will not be editable).

• This field is disabled if you are prorating manually.

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 a fixed price project that uses billings and costs or accrual-basis accounting methods, as follows:

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. For internal contracts using time and materials, or fixed price billings and costs or accrual basis, the billing type is set to non-billable.

The program displays the cost class for the category used in each detail. You cannot change this field.
