Repost Functions

  1. Restores all standard hours, overtime rates, cost rates and hours worked for each period of the current future or past years where a staff member has WIP transactions.
  2. Restores amounts (time and expense entries) and hours (time entries) worked for a project or subproject.

Note: Staff reposts are not run from a diagnostic drill down.

When you run a normal repost, the following functions are carried out:

  1. Restores outstanding amounts, clear dates for invoices, cash receipts and credit notes.
    • Outstanding amount = amount – sum of payments’ amounts
    • Clear date = last payment day
  2. Restores outstanding amounts, clear dates for reversal cash receipt and credit notes refund.
    • Outstanding amount = 0.00
    • Clear date = reversal date for reversal cash receipt and credit note date for refund
  3. Restores outstanding amounts for deposits.
    • Outstanding amount = deposit amount – sum of deposit’s cash receipts’ amounts
  4. Restores type of payment (full or multiple) for invoices.
  5. Restores GL amounts
    • Deposit: bank account amount = deposit amount, receivables account amount = (deposit amount - applied directly to GL cash receipts /no client number)  
    • Invoices and Interest amounts: receivables account amount = transaction amount
    • Credit Notes: receivables account amount = transaction amount
    • Reversal Cash Receipt - (client’s cash receipt): bank account amount = reversal cash receipt amount (negative); receivables account amount = -reversal cash receipt amount (positive)
    • Reversal Cash Receipt (miscellaneous cash receipt): bank account amount = reversal cash receipt amount (negative)
    • Credit Note Refund: receivables account amount = transaction amount.
  6. Restores clear flag.
    • Clear flag
      • = true, if paid in previous periods;
      • = false, if paid in any other period
