Units by Project

Use Units by Project to enter units for a single project or for multiple projects.

Posting

During a unit posting, DPS:

  • Debits explicitly the amount specified on each detail line to the specified account (typically a reimbursable expense account).
  • Credits implicitly the total unit amount to the Credit Account specified in the Units hub in the desktop application (typically, account 792.00 - Miscellaneous Expense Recovery).

Posting Log

DPS produces a Units by Project posting log each time that you post units, including those transferred from Billing. The log describes all units by project posted during that session. Depending on the type of rate defined for the unit, DPS displays the following information:

  • If the unit has only a billing rate defined, then DPS displays the following for each unit: unit number, name, project (and task, if any), account, quantity, and extended billing amount.
  • If the unit has only a cost per unit rate defined, then DPS displays the following for each unit: the unit number, name, project (and task, if any), account, quantity, and extended cost amount. A general ledger posting summary also displays listing the debit and credit amounts for this unit.
  • If the unit has both a billing and a cost per unit rate defined, DPS displays the following for each unit: the unit number, name, project (and task, if any), account, quantity, and the extended billing and cost amounts. A general ledger posting summary also displays. This summary lists the debit and credit amounts for the costed portion of this unit.
