How WIP is written on/off and carried forward in quoted invoices
A progress quoted invoice does not create any write offs. A final quoted invoice will remove all WIP from the WIP ledger except deselected interims (percentage or deposit invoices).
Costs from the original quote are automatically marked as estimated costs and are therefore NOT added to the WIP ledger. If you add additional tasks and costs to a quoted invoice, the WIP will be applied to existing WIP entries.
You can add WIP to a job based on a quote as follows:
- Record time against the quoted tasks.
- Add additional billable or non-billable tasks to the job and record time against these tasks.
- Add additional billable or non-billable costs, marked as actuals, to the job.
When the final quoted invoice is created, the write on is calculated and distributed among staff members as follows:
- First, all costs are absorbed by the amount invoiced.
- Then, the balance is allocated pro-rata to the time sheet entries in the job, which will allocate write ons or write offs to the individual staff members according to the time they billed to the job.
You can select and deselect tasks and costs, edit timesheets and add more tasks and costs in a progress or final quoted invoice. All these actions have an effect on the WIP ledger:
