DPS will refresh billing extensions for all transactions since the beginning of transaction history.
You must, however, enter a date in the ending period field.
DPS ignores the range of accounting periods entered here if you schedule the Refresh Billing Extensions process to run at a later time and you choose the
Always run in the Current period option or the

|
| Unbilled transactions only
|
Select this option if you want to refresh the billing extensions for only those transactions that have not yet been billed. These are the transactions with a status of Bill (to be billed), Hold, Delete, or Write-off.
|
| Include labor adjustments
|
Select this option to update all labor adjustment (LA) transactions.
|
| Include interactive billing modifications
|
Select this option to update extension amounts for transactions entered or modified through Interactive Billing. Selecting this option updates the BIED (Billing Expense Detail) and BILD (Billing Labor Detail) tables. The Refresh Billing Extensions process recalculates the billing extension amount in all types of transactions in these tables.
Although information for billing extensions in the BIED and BILD tables is not used in
DPS, this information can be useful for custom reports.
|
| Include historical transactions
|
Select this option to update all Project Labor History (HL) and Project Expense History (HE) transactions.
