Support asked me to post this issue as a suggestion for future release so I am.
When posting a project's initial balances, after I post the first initial balance for let's say 12/31/15 and then want to post all costs from 1/1/16 thru 9/30/16, PC let's me do that and both journal entries will properly show up on cost reports.
However, when posting the 2nd entry, when printing the posting journal for it, PC displays incorrect values for the transaction even though the result after the transaction is posted is correct.
This is a bug that should be fixed.
Also, for some companies like mine, when posting our initial job cost balances, we want to see the startup jobs costs as of the end of the last fiscal year and then see the costs from the current year thru our last period before our startup date.
This then gives us the ability to audit our job costs records by running cost reports thru the end of the last year, current year, and combined. Our CPA has requested we provide this.
Now that I know PC will allow us to post multiple initial balances, the posting report needs to be corrected to show exactly what we are posting on the second transaction.
