The Invoice Received document is generated directly from the Purchase Order (PO) and is automatically associated with the relevant PO, project, and hired resource.

Main Tab

The Main tab captures all the basic and important details of the invoice received.

Expense Tab

The Expenses table captures quantities and prices based on the defined Unit of Measure (UOM). It is divided into two parts:

  1. The upper table contains summarized invoice expense lines generated from the Purchase Order and related Time Cards.
  2. The lower table displays detailed Time Card information linked to the selected expense line.

The Time Cards table is automatically populated from time card entries recorded by each resource against the Purchase Order (PO). Each line reflects the actual work performed and is used directly in calculations.

    1. Quantity - The number of hours worked for a specific day or task, which forms the basis for billing.
    2. Balance - Remaining or available hours.
    3. Price - The hourly rate defined in the Purchase Order is automatically applied for consistency.
    4. Amount - The calculated value for each entry, derived as Quantity × Price

Also, any change in Quantity in the Time Cards table will automatically recalculate the related parent line in the “Invoice Received” document.

Show Time Cards for Selected Row - Displays the related time card entries for the selected invoice line or resource row.

Unbilled Purchase

When Unbilled Purchase is enabled in the main tab, the system initially records the timecard, and then the system calculates the cost using hours × PO rate and posts it to the Unbilled Purchase GL account. This is a separate general ledger account from the standard Trade Payables GL account.

The entry is recorded as an expense (Dr) with a corresponding credit (Cr) to Unbilled Purchase. The cost is recognized in the accounts, but it is not yet treated as an actual supplier payable because the invoice has not been received., But it remains in the Unbilled Purchase account until the supplier invoice is received, after which it is transferred to the standard payables account.

Dr: Expense
Cr: Unbilled Purchase

The cost is recognized in the accounts, but it is not yet treated as an actual supplier payable because the invoice has not been received.

The Unbilled Purchase account functions similarly to Trade Payables, but it is maintained as a separate interim account for expected invoices. Once the supplier’s invoice arrives, the amount is moved from Unbilled Purchase to the regular Trade Payables account, making it an official liability.

Later, when Invoice Received is created, the system moves the amount from Unbilled Purchase to Payable

Dr: Unbilled Purchase 

Cr: Payables
