Modify Reposting Rule

Explanation

Use this activity to add or modify reposting rules during the completion of a project. The reposting rules are used as an alternative to repost capitalized cost back to the original code strings, e.g. Cost of Goods Sold. If a partial completion should be reported, it is necessary to modify the reposting rule. Partial completion is however only possible for projects of type Capitalize Rev/Exp, Capitalize Expenses and Capitalize Revenue, in combination with capitalization posting method Periodical.

Prerequisites

The project to be completed must be of the type Capitalize Rev/Exp or Capitalize Expenses, i.e. having capitalized cost.

System Effects

As stated above, the reposting rules are used as an alternative to repost capitalized cost back to the original code strings. When a project completion voucher is created, the reposting rule code strings will serve as counter postings to the reversal of the cost capitalization postings.

Procedure

• If reposting rules are defined for the project to be completed, these code strings will be presented automatically. These code strings can be modified or deleted, as well as new code strings can be added.
• Any existing reposting rule will suggest 100% completion, i.e. the full capitalized amount will be suggested. In order to do a partial completion, the suggested amount or percent can be reduced. If so, a warning is given when approving the project completion.
• If separate rules for General and Internal Ledger are used for the project, reposting rules can be entered or modified separately for GL and IL. These code strings will then be used for the separate GL and IL vouchers.
• For projects of type Capitalize Rev/Exp or Capitalize Revenue, i.e. projects with capitalized revenue, it is also possible to do a partial revenue completion. This is however not controlled by the reposting rules. Instead, this is achieved by reducing the presented amount in the Completion Amount field in the Revenue Completion group box. The counter posting to the reversal of capitalized revenue will then be taken from posting control, using the set-up for posting type GP18 – Partial Project Revenue Completion.
