Go to Projects under Projects. Select a project and expand the Adjustments section.
Click New Project Adjustment. Each adjustment is composed of one or more line items. A given adjustment represents either a discount or markup to the project cost.
Step 2.
The green check marks indicate whether the adjustment has been applied to an invoice or not. An adjustment becomes eligible for invoicing when its date falls into the invoice date range, and if a discount its value does not exceed the total of the other invoiceable items (TidyEnterprise does not currently manage credit notes).
Step 3.
Project Adjustments are taken into account in the both the Actual and Actual Details sections in the console Financials section. They do not show within the Planned Details section as there is no mechanism for planning an adjustment, only applying an Actual adjustment.
Step 4.
Adjustments are totalled as a NET amount In the Actual Details section under the Adjustments heading. This is a totalof all the (negative and positive) adjustments applied to the project.
The NET adjustment amount is then included in the Total Revenue figure.
Step 5.
Adjustments that have not been invoiced so are not marked as Applied are included in the Invoiceable total in the Actual section.
Step 6.
Project adjustments are also included in the same way in the relevant reports for specific projects and available for invoicing.
Step 7.
Adjustments can be invoiced on their own, (no other items are required on the invoice) or invoiced along with Time, Materials and/or Expenses and other Adjustments.
Step 8.
Adjustments will always display as a quantity of 1, regardless of how many child items are within the discount.
Step 9.
There are four levels of detail for Adjustments to show on an invoice, as follows:
Step 10.
If there is only a negative adjustment available for invoicing on the project, an invoice will be unavailable.
If a negative adjustment (discount) will make an invoice a negative amount, it is not included on the invoice. It will be re-included when the total amount becomes positive.
