Billing Manage Progress Billing Manage Progress Billing The purpose of this course is to teach the student to use progress billing within Sage 100 Contractor. What You Will Learn: Set up, process and manage progress billing. Import a schedule of values from a budget or proposal. Create a progress bill manually. Update from job costs. Update from change orders. Enter/alter current amounts. Print a progress bill. Update to accounts receivable. 2013 Sage Software, Inc. Online Training at www.sageu.com 9

Manage Progress Billing Sage 100 Contractor Progress Billing for a Job The Progress Billing window provides a system for creating progress billings, with each new application building on the previous application for a job. Most progress bills are printed on AIA certificates. Under each job, the program assigns each application its own application number. Creating a progress bill requires that you to provide some basic information in the Progress Billing Setup window. You can provide the name of the architect and the architect s job number for the project, as well as the income posting account, tax district number, retention rates, and a maximum for retention. To create an application, import the cost codes or divisions from the job s budget or proposal. You can then select several ways to automatically update the cost information from the job cost records. When you select the Percent from Costs command, the program displays the actual job costs and calculates the percent of work completed by comparing the job costs against the budget. You can instead select the From Cost Amounts or From Billing Amounts command to display only the amounts for each cost code. You can also update the costs of the change work to the progress bill. You can either incorporate the changes to the costs in the cost codes or divisions, or include the total amount of the change order as a separate line item. Before you can set up a progress billing that job must be set up in 3-5. About Jobs For each job, create a record that contains the job-related information such as important contract dates, job balances, and contract terms. In addition, the Jobs window provides a variety of tools to help manage contracts. You can supply information for creating pre-liens and lien releases, and create phases or bid items to divide work into more manageable sections. 10 Local Training From Business Partners 2013 Sage Software, Inc.

Manage Progress Billing Sage 100 Contractor Progress Billing Overview Like most of Sage 100 Contractor windows, 3-7 Progress Billing has a header portion that includes menu items and buttons that repeat many of the most frequently used menu options. The Status field, located just below the button bar, is especially important in progress billing. The progress bill s status determines what you are permitted to do with the progress bill as it moves through the processing steps. At the bottom of the Progress Billing window are fields that contain a summary of the information contained in the Progress Billing window. Also at the bottom is the Setup button. How to Create a Progress Bill 1. Open Progress Billing (menu 3-7). 2. In the header, do the following: In the Job field, enter the job number.

Value of using cost codes: Costs can be updated from actual job cost records. 16 Local Training From Business Partners 2013 Sage Software, Inc.

Billing Manage Progress Billing Retention Many job contracts include retention. In the Progress Billing Setup window, you can set up rates and a rate maximum. When you calculate a progress bill the first time, the program inserts the primary retention rate for completed work in the Retention Rate column for all line items. If certain line items require different rates of retention, type the rates in the appropriate Retention Rate cells. If you leave a Retention Rate cell blank, the program will not compute retention for that particular line item. You can then recalculate the retention for the application. Maximum Amount of Retention Some contracts stipulate that retention should stop accruing after a certain amount of the contract has been billed. To restrict the amount of retention withheld, type the maximum amount of retention to withhold in the Maximum Amount field. When the total retention withheld, calculated from the rates for each line item, equals or exceeds the maximum, the program stops withholding retention on the printed progress billings and the posted receivable invoices. However, within the Progress Billing window, the program continues to calculate the total retention. Secondary Rate of Retention You can also set up a secondary retention rate. When the total retention withheld exceeds the amount in the Maximum Amount field, the program applies the rate in the Secondary Rate field. The program does not replace the original rates in the Retention Rate column of the progress bill with the secondary rate because it uses the original rates to compute the total retention for comparison against the 2013 Sage Software, Inc. Online Training at www.sageu.com 17

Manage Progress Billing Sage 100 Contractor maximum. The secondary rate applies to each line item that has a retention rate; you cannot change the secondary rate on a line-by-line basis. Material Rate for Retention If you want to withhold retention for stored materials, type the rate in the Material Rate field. When you enter costs for stored materials in the Current Stored column, the program calculates the retention using the rate in the Material Rate field from the Progress Billing Setup window While you include retention on billings, payment is not due until you complete the project. Posting an invoice declares the gross amount of the invoice as income. However, a percentage of the gross amount is withheld as retention, so the client is actually billed for the net amount (gross invoice amount retention = net invoice amount). Therefore, retention is already declared income but is not yet due. Consequently, the program does not include retention in the invoice aging, and does not apply finance charges to it. Activity 3 Calculate Retention Please return to your desktop and the progress bill you ve been working on. 1. Click Setup. The Progress Billing Setup dialog field displays. 2. In the Primary Rate field, enter 10. 3. Click Save. The Progress Billing Setup field closes. 4. On the 3-7 window, click Calculate. 5. Click Calculates the Current column and then click OK. A message displays asking if you want to apply retention rate to all line items. 6. Click Yes. 7. Notice that the Ret. Rate column is now filled. 8. Change the retention rate for cost code 1000-General Requirements to 5. 9. Delete the retention rate for cost code 1310-Permits 10. Click Calculate. 11. Click Calculates the Current column and then click OK. 12. Click Save. Please return to the conference when you have completed this exercise. 18 Local Training From Business Partners 2013 Sage Software, Inc.

Billing Manage Progress Billing Update Options Update > Change Orders > Add to Existing Lines or Append as New Lines: Change orders are added to line items with the same cost codes. If cost codes or divisions have not been entered in progress bill, you can enter them manually. You can update change orders as often as you like. Update > Percent from Costs: Updates the current costs from the job costs, and computes the percent of work completed by comparing the budgeted costs to the total job costs. Update > Total Completed > From Cost Amounts: Updates current costs from job costs. Use this when a project has no budget entered in the program. Update > Total Completed > From Billing Totals: Updates current costs using billing amounts from job costs. Use this method in conjunction with time and material billing. 2013 Sage Software, Inc. Online Training at www.sageu.com 19

Manage Progress Billing Sage 100 Contractor Calculate Options There are two ways to calculate. Calculate the Current column: If you ve entered or manually adjusted the % Comp column, the program will calculate the Current column (dollars). Calculate the Percent column: Alternately, if you ve entered or manually adjusted the Current column, the program will calculate the % Comp column. Once a calculation method is chosen, it is important to use that method for each and every invoice until completion of the job. Changing methods can cause inconsistent billing amounts. Activity 4 Use Update Options Please return to your desktop and practice updating from costs and calculating. Update from cost amounts: 1. Return to 3-7 Progress Billing. 2.

Manage Progress Billing Sage 100 Contractor Changes After saving, changes can be made to values in the Changes column. Stored Material columns In the Current Stored column, you can enter the amount of material currently being stored. When you create the next application, the program moves the costs from the Current Stored column to the Prev. Stored (Previous Stored) column. As you complete work, remove the costs for items no longer being stored. To remove costs, enter the costs as a negative amount in the Current Stored column. Then enter the costs as an equal positive amount in the Current Comp. (Current Complete) column. (If this is not done, the negative amount in the Current Stored column subtracts from the actual Current Complete and reduces the invoice amount.) Submit Application Before submitting the application, be sure to print the progress bill application. To submit the progress bill application, do the following: 1. In the Submitted field, enter the date you submitted the request. If you leave the Submitted field blank, the program enters the current date for you. 2.
