These fields display information about the last time revenue recognition was performed. For full details of all revenue recognition actions, click the View Rev Rec History button. If you are unfamiliar with revenue recognition, please see Revenue RecognitionManagement Portal - Rev Rec.

FieldDescription
Last performed by The user who last performed revenue recognition.
Last performed on Date and time of the last time the process was complete.
Revenue recognized through The last date of the activity which is included in the current recognized revenue.  For example it could be the current month is March and this date displays February 28th. This means that activity since March 1st has not been included in the current revenue recognition.
Revenue recognized The amount recognized.
System revenue on timecards Displays the system revenue associated with the time cards.  In very specific cases this may be different from revenue recognized as described below.
Revenue remainingThe remaining amount to be recognized to equal the contract amount.
Warning Icon

If you see a warning icon by the System revenue on timecards field then there is a discrepancy between your system revenue and recognized revenue. This occurs when you transfer or unapprove timecards that have already been through revenue recognition. Typically this action is blocked through the system setting Allow transfer/unapprove of fixed price time cards that have been through revenue recognition.

When the time card is transferred off the project the System Revenue on the time goes to zero. This causes the discrepancy. Also note that in the case of a transfer, the time does not 'bring' the system revenue with it. It is truly zero everywhere.

To fix the discrepancy you can rerun revenue recognition for the affected time period. This tells Projector that you want to undo the previous recognition, and replace it with your new one. The difference in recognized and system revenue will be distributed amongst the remaining time cards.

Another case where you may see this warning thrown is when you have FRO (for reporting only) time cards. These time cards are typically loaded into Projector's database from your legacy time tracking system. If there was a mistake in that data model, then there might be a revenue mismatch detected by Projector here.

Finally, you'll see this warning when revenue recognition was accidentally run on a T&M engagement. When you rollback the revenue recognition, any approved time cards will trigger this warning. It can safely be ignored as long as you are certain you rolled back revenue recognition properly.

NameThe name appears on your invoices
DescriptionA description of the milestone. This can optionally be included on your invoices by editing the template.
Project CodeOptionally specify which project is associated with this milestone. Useful if you invoice your clients at the project level. Also useful when viewing reports broken down by project, or when using the Project Dashboard.
TaskOptionally specify a DTM task with this milestone. To enable this dropdown ensure that Detailed Task Management is ticked on the project info tab. Eligible tasks must be unavailable for time, cannot have time transferred to it, and cannot have child tasks. For task milestones, the Planned Date column is not editable and determined by the end date of the task. The milestone/task will mirror each other when changed. For example, marking the task complete will mark the milestone achieved. The only time this does not happen is if the milestone has already been billed. In this case the milestone stays as achieved.
AmountThe amount that the client should be invoiced for this milestone. Use a negative amount to issue a credit memo.
