Post a work in progress (WIP) schedule

All projects in the WIP schedule must be marked Finalized before you can post it. When you post a WIP schedule, the overbilling and underbilling amounts are posted to the accounts specified in Configure Projects.

To check if there are any projects that are not finalized, sort by the Finalized column.

Post the schedule

  1. Go to Projects > All > WIP schedules.
  2. Select the schedule.
  3. Select Edit.
    Go to the Posting preview tab to review the overbilling and underbilling amounts and how the update will impact General Ledger. Read detailed information about the fields on the Posting preview tab.
  4. Select Post.

    The information in the schedule is validated and any errors are shown.

    If the Post button is not active, check that the following requirements are met:

    • All projects in the WIP schedule are finalized (Yes is entered in the Finalized column.).
    • You are signed in as a business user with the required permissions.
  5. In the Post to GL window, edit any of the fields as needed.
  6. Select Submit.
