Automating the Refresh Projects from Sales Order for Gross Profit Calculations
We are using Projects with the switch to turn on Multiple Projects in a Sales Order. It appears that the Projects Module is not well connected to the Sales Order. We also have Gross Profit by Transaction enabled.
It appears, as our underlying project economics change as expected, that the Gross Profit calculations at the Sales Order level may not report accurately unless we "Refresh Project" items. Note, the documents suggest "Once you have begun billing an order, you can no longer refresh the items to transactions". However, the Gross Profit is off unless we actually refresh.
We are concerned that we can't trust the Gross Profit numbers reported at the Sales Order level unless we perform this Refresh. Has anyone found a workaround for this? Is there a way to avoid it all together so we can trust Sales Order Gross Profit numbers at all times? Is it possible to run a scheduled script to refresh projects automatically?
