Project

Hello.

I have installed Manager on my server. Everything works fine except assigning items to a certain project.
Project is enabled. When there is a payment from client there is no option where i can assign it to a project. Anybody else with the same issue with the server edition?

Regards

Have you created the project? And why do you think a receipt from a customer should be capable of assignment to a project? That would depend on context and what account you are trying to post the receipt to. For example, if you issued a sales invoice, the sale was assigned to the project there. A receipt against a receivable is not project income for accrual based accounting. See the Guide: Create and use projects | Manager.

Yes, i have already created a project. For the project to work you should be able to assign invoice and payment so as you know if on the particular project its profitale or not.
I think this is why the project was added to manager so if you have different project running under one software you can assign each invoice and payments to different project.
I already went into the tutorial. The item project is not coming up as indicated in tutorial below

> After you create a project, you will be able to assign the project name on line items within transactions (payments, receipts, expense claims, invoices, etc.). This allows categorization of project-related transactions by income or direct costs, leading to calculation of project gross profit.

Which version of Manager (shows on the very bottom of every Manager screen today 22.3.10) are you using?

If you assign the income from a Sales Invoice to a project, you would not want to assign the receipt from the customer to the project also. Otherwise you would be counting the income twice

No you should not. That is double accounting and is prevented by Manager. Read the Note in the Guide.

22.3.10

i have the same problem !!
version of 22.9.9.389

@heba, as was explained above, this is not a “problem.” Please explain why you think it is. Tell us your exact scenario.

i just checked the box of projects then I found the problem was solved automatically .
and I can add projects in line beside of payments line .

The Project field does not appear unless you select an account for which project assignments make sense. For example, to prevent double posting, Accounts receivable , Accounts payable , and Inventory on hand line items cannot be assigned to a project.
i read the above statement in directions
i see that inventory on hand couldn’t be allowed to be assigned to any project as mentioned above
but ,accrued expenses was assigned to a specific project and in details of projects
it was deducted from direct costs and appeared by negative sign

You need to illustrate your situation with screenshots. You have not even told us what type of transaction you are entering.

entry of purchase in dr
valued added tax in dr
with holding tax in dr
in cr prepaid expenses
in cr accrued expenses
in cr cash
i mean as mentioned above accrued expenses appeared with negative sign in projects

You misunderstood me. I meant what transaction type in Manager. Post a screen shot of the Edit screen.
