The job & phase accounting method was set to "completed project" in error. It should have been "project percent complete". We can do an AR invoice to show revenue but how can we get the costs out of wip without the job or phase being complete?

Any suggestions.

You can enter temporary GL journal entries to reflect the cost now, and to reverse them when the project is complete, which will then recognize the cost and reduce WIP.

Somebody made a second suggestion. You can edit the GL accounts defined on the project in Contract Maintenance and set the WIP account to a different GL account so that you can reconcile those manual journal entries better.

 Thank you very much for the suggestions. This will work.
