Refreshing Project Items on Transactions
When you edit a sales order, estimate, or opportunity that is associated with a project you can refresh the items from the project to update the transaction with the most current information from the project.
Depending on your project preferences and the changes made to your projects, updating items from projects may create duplicate line-items with updated information. To prevent having duplicate lines, delete the outdated lines before saving your sales order.
-
If the Consolidate Projects on Sales Transactions preference is Off:
Specify the project in the project header field. Then, on the Items subtab above the item list, click Refresh Items from Project.
-
If the Consolidate Projects on Sales Transactions preference is On:
Specify the project in the dropdown associated with the item list. Then, click the refresh button next to the dropdown.
When the refreshed items load, the transaction displays the current items and totals.
After you have begun billing an order, you can no longer refresh the items to transactions.
If you use Charge-Based Billing, you can refresh items from your projects by first generating a forecast. When you create charge rules based on service items, those service items can be added to your transactions based on the charges forecast. This lets you create opportunities and sales orders prior to generating charges. For more information, see Generating Charges.
