When issuing a multi-engagement invoice, you may encounter the following error message - Invoice cannot be issued. Time or cost WIP A/R items differ among engagements on invoice. Please check your accounting mappings.

This occurs because of the way Projector structures its AR transactions.

To get past this error you'll first need to determine which engagements have different AR mappings. AR mappings are set at the engagement type level.

  1. Note each engagement code on this invoice
  2. Find the engagement type for all of your engagements
  3. Go to the Administration tab and edit each engagement type. On the accounting tab note down:
    1. Time WIP A/R Item/Account
    2. Cost WIP A/R Item/Account

When the account numbers differ between engagement types, you have the source of your problem. There are two solutions.

  1. Edit the account mappings and make sure they match
  2. Remove all engagements from the invoice with disparate mappings and use multiple invoices.
