AR Transactions
This browser shows the status of your AR transactions. An AR transaction is created for each issued invoice. From here you can view transaction history, override account mappings, force transactions into different periods, or change the status of transactions.
This form is reached from the Integration tab | Accounting System Integration subsection | AR Transactions.
Permissions & Settings
To send transactions to your accounting system or edit accounting periods you must have the Accounting System Interface global permission.
To override account mappings you must have the Override Accounting Mappings global permission.
If a transaction is hitting the wrong company, you'll need to delete the offending invoice, correct the company on the engagements, and then create a completely new invoice.
An AR transaction's accounting period is determined by its Issue Date. The issue date is specified on the Invoice Editor MP - Invoice Tab. If the accounting period is closed for AR, the AR transaction will fall into a later accounting period.
Overrides
Some fun things you can do to your AR transactions. See Integration Overrides for more background on these options.
Manual Mapping Overrides
Open a Pending transaction and click the Override Mappings button. The second and third columns become editable. Change the values as needed.
- Only do this if you know what you are doing
- Use the notes section to remind yourself why you chose to do this
Reapply Mappings
Sometimes you make a batch and later realize that some of your accounting mappings were out of date. You correct them in Projector, but the batch is still wrong. You can Reapply Mappings in the following scenario:
- Transaction is pending
- No dependent batches. Look for the icon. If there are dependencies you'll need to delete them before proceeding.
- Not an intercompany transaction
Simply click Reapply Mappings for a transaction row.
Override Accounting Periods
For transactions in Pending status, click the icon next to the accounting period. This displays a list of accounting periods open for AR.
Mappings
AR transactions may hit the following accounts. These accounts are mapped using the Cost Center Editor and the Expense Type Editor. To determine the cost center for a transaction, right click and choose Open. In the lower grid there is a cost center column for each account. To learn more about mappings please see Account Mappings and Projector Accounting Transactions.

Reapply Mappings
If you edit a cost center to update the account mappings they will not be applied to any existing transactions – even if the transactions are failed. To start using the new mappings you must first set the transaction to pending and then click the Reapply Mappings button. Please see the Integration Overrides page for more information.
Searching
