Cash Basis Subtask

If a project is subject to the "cash basis" billing rules, use this subtask to identify which general ledger accounts are subject to cash basis billings.

When you use cash basis billing, transactions cannot be billed to a customer until they have been paid. Use this screen to enter accounts on a project-specific basis. If you want to designate cash basis billing accounts on a company-wide basis, use the Manage Billing Accounts screen. To include an account in the cash basis calculation, you can enter it on the Manage Billing Accounts screen or in this subtask. You cannot enter an account in both screens, however.

Note: Only transactions from Costpoint Accounts Payable have cash basis rules applied to them. Transactions from all other modules are considered "paid" when posted, and are therefore not subject to the cash basis rules.

You must set up the cash basis accounts on the Billing Accounts screen or this subtask before calculating billings. You must also run the Update Cash Basis Information screen after posting transactions but before calculating billings. If you do not run this utility, all Accounts Payable transactions are treated as unpaid. For more information on this utility, see the documentation for the Update Cash Basis Information screen.

For more information about cash basis billing, see the "Create a Cash Basis Billing" topic.
