Calculate ACRN Bills

Use this screen to calculate your ACRN bills, based upon information you set up on the Manage ACRN Bills screen and the standard bill amounts from the Calculate Standard Bills screen. 

After you have calculated ACRN bills, you can review them on the Manage ACRN Bills screen or the Print ACRN Billing Edit Report screen.

You have access to this screen only if the Enable ACRN Billing check box is selected on the Configure Billing Settings screen.

Use of the Calculate ACRN Bills screen is not mandatory, but is beneficial to government contractors subject to Government Requirement, DFARS 204.71 – Uniform Contract Line Item Numbering, specifically the standard payment instructions at PGI 204.7108(d)(1) through (6). This requirement places an obligation upon contractors to invoice at a Contract, Contract Line (CLIN), Subcontract Line (SLIN), Exhibit Line or an Accounting Classification Reference Number (ACRN) level. 

Calculate ACRN bills after all transactions for the period to be billed have been posted and you have executed the Calculate Standard Bills screen.

Note: The Calculate ACRN Bills screen includes net withholding (billing withholding minus withholding release) as part of the retainage calculation. Billing withholding amounts are treated the same as retainage, while withholding release amounts are treated as negative retainage.

For more information on how to set up ACRN billing, see the "ACRN Billing" topic.
