Supplier invoice adjustments in projects R12

Hi
One of the new features of R12 is to stop sending adjustments of supplier invoices from Projects to Payables. Now, all adjustments are sent directly to SLA, and from there posted to GL.
To review the final current accounting of a supplier invoice you beter look at SLA and not stay in Payables.

Hi Dina,Eric Tegenfeldt from RAND here, hope you are doing well. We got a bit of a slow, drawn-out start to our 12.1.3 upgrade project but are now in full force and just recognized this issue. Ordinarily, our users update the Projects information on AP Distributions directly in AP, but the one exception to that is when they do a Mass Adjust/Transfer from within the Expenditure Inquiry form to move all charges from one Project/Task to another. Do you use that feature, and if so, how did you address those updates in 12.1.3, since there is now no way to send all of the adjustments back to Payables? The reason it is an issue for us is that all of our custom reporting and custom data warehouse extract logic assumes that the latest Projects information is in the AP distribution record, so we would have to rewrite that if we apply Project info updates to AP invoices only in the Projects module. Alternatively, we could ask our AP users to enter all of those Transfer updates in Payables but there are 2 issues with that: 1) they would need to be sure and exclude Suppler Invoice transactions when they do the Mass Adjust/Transfer in Projects for Straight Time and Usage transactions, or else the Accounting would get doubled up later on and 2) some of those updates can involve dozens or even hundreds of AP invoice distributions on our larger tasks, so it would be a lot more effort for them to enter them one by one in AP.
Any advice or alternate resolutions that you are aware of would be greatly appreciated! We do own More4Apps and use that for some of our large AP entries, such as our montly FedEx bills, so I was wondering if that could be part of some alternate solution.
Best regards,
Eric
