Relieving Specific Work In Process on Invoices Imported from UltraTax CS and CS Accounting Suite

Show expandable text

While importing invoices from UltraTax CS or CS Accounting Suite, you can choose from four allocation methods on the Integrated Invoices tab:

  • Creating adjustment entries
  • Creating progress bill entries
  • Partially billing WIP balance
  • Completely billing WIP balance

If you choose "Partially" or "Completely billing WIP balance", four additional fields will appear:

  • Staff
  • Engagement
  • Project
  • Activity

Any values entered in these fields will act as a filter, and the imported invoice amounts will only relieve the engagement, project, etc specified. If you enter nothing in all four fields, all open WIP for the client will be relieved by the invoice. So, to relieve only certain WIP items, enter values in one (or more) of the fields and only WIP which matches those criteria will be relieved by this invoice.

Example: You imported a $350.00 invoice from UltraTax CS and want to completely bill all WIP that has been entered for your "Tax" engagement (but not any other engagements).



  1. Choose to Allocate invoice amounts by: Completely billing WIP balance.
  2. Enter the following values in each of the four fields:
    Staff: [blank]
    Engagement: Tax
    Project: [blank]
    Activity: [blank]

Also note: The WIP Amount listed next to each invoice will adjust to match the criteria you specified in the four fields.
