The Kinetic way

Where to find it: AP Invoice Entry lines

  1. Costs are collected only on a WBS Phase Job in Project Management
  2. Add a Material line on the job with Misc Charge ticked
  3. Apply the supplier invoice to that Misc Charge in AP
  4. It posts as an ADJ-PUR transaction visible in Job Tracker > Material Transactions

Limits in Kinetic

  • Entries keyed straight to a GL account do not reach project cost reports

The Pulsify way

  1. Forward the supplier's invoice to Pulsify. Pulsify reads every row as its own line.
  2. Review each line's account and set the job where it applies.
  3. Route bills to the person who knows the job, using approval rules.
  4. Approve. The AP invoice is created in Kinetic with each line.

What Pulsify does not do here

  • Pulsify does not split lines by percentage.
  • Job reports are run in Kinetic.

Common mistakes

  • Posting straight to a GL account and expecting it in project cost reports.
  • Forgetting to tick Misc Charge on the job's Material line.
