Example in MYOB Acumatica

Example Steel Supplies sends one bill for $5,500 including GST. Projects and Cost Code are on. Both lines go to the same project.

LineAmountTagged to
Reinforcing bar$3,200.00Project: EXPROJ-10, Project Task: SLAB, Cost Code: MATERIAL
Mesh sheets$1,800.00Project: EXPROJ-10, Project Task: PATH, Cost Code: MATERIAL

Project reports show $5,000 of cost before GST on EXPROJ-10, split across two tasks, ready to compare with budget.

Common mistakes

  • Turning on Projects but not linking it to accounts payable, so the project columns do not show.
  • Coding the whole bill to one project when its lines belong to different projects.
