map accounting transactions

Info

Use this tab to map accounting transactions. If Projector is used as the job accounting system and data is fed into the organization's General Ledger or other sub-ledgers (such as Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable), these fields (along with fields in the Add/Edit Company, Add/Edit Expense Type, and Edit Cost Center forms) are used to map transactions and balances to the proper cost centers and accounts. Transactions associated with time and expenses can be routed to different accounts if necessary, or can be mapped to the same accounts by entering the same account IDs in the proper fields.

This tab is also used to split revenue amongst cost centers.

...

All percentages must add up to exactly 100.00% for each column.

Accounting System Integration Mappings

The following table gives a short description of each account mapping. WIP stands for Work in Progress. It represents revenue you have earned and that you expect your client to reimburse you for.

Account

Description

Revenue G/L Account

Revenue generated by billable time

Billing Adjustments G/L Account

Write ups/downs of time cards, revalue

Revenue Recognition Adj. G/L Account

Revenue recognition adjustments are created when actual and projected contract revenues don't match

Time WIP G/L Account

The value of approved time that has not yet been invoiced.

Time WIP A/R Item/Account

Route revenue out of WIP when it is invoiced.  

  • QuickBooks - this should be an A/R item that is then mapped to the same account as the WIP G/L account.
  • Great Plains - this should be the account number itself
Cost WIP G/L AccountWhen an expense is approved, if there is a markup, then the amount of that markup
Cost WIP A/R Item/Account

Route revenue out of WIP when it is invoiced.  

  • QuickBooks - this should be an A/R item that is then mapped to the same account as the WIP G/L account.
  • Great Plains - this should be the account number itself
