Summary

This guide explains how to post a charge or a credit against a project in Sage 50 Accounts Professional.

Description

There are two types of project only transaction:

  • Project Charge (CD) - Increases the actual cost of the project.
  • Project Credit (CC) - Reduces the actual cost of the project.

These appear as CC and CD transaction types on the activity of your project and they don't affect your audit trail or stock history. You can't delete project charges and credits, if required, to reverse them you must post the opposite entry.
