<< Show table of contents >> Financial administration > Project accounting journals |
Use this view to gain an overview of the accounting of your projects. You can see the journals of all the projects that are assigned to you as a user.
The overview shows you which accounting periods the closings are from and their status.
Double-click to open a closing to release it or view the postings.
Use the Table settings and quick filters to search for information. Here are some examples:
▪To identify journals from which closings are still missing, group by the Accounting period column and enter the accounting period in the quick filter. All the journals in which the accounting period has not yet been finalised are displayed in a group (The Accounting period field is empty in these journals).
▪Filter by Monthly closing closing type and Uploaded Closing status to display month-end closings that have yet to be released.
▪The Closing checked on and Last action on fields show you whether an activity was performed after the closing was checked e.g. an additional document was uploaded.
▪Filter for a project via the Search field to display all the journals of a project.
NOTE: If you are assigned to a large number of projects, increase the number of elements per page shown below the table on the left. Groupings only contain elements that are displayed on the page. |
Accounting period |
Enter an accounting period to view the closings for that period from all journals. (If there is no closing for a journal for this period, the field in the table is empty. If a journal only starts after this accounting period, it will not be displayed) If you do not enter anything, the accounting period of the last uploaded closing is displayed for each journal. |
|
Display finalised journals |
Additionally shows the journals that were finalised in WINPACCS Accounting and therefore have the Finalised journal status. |
The following columns provide information on the journals.
Voucher type |
As a property of a journal, the voucher type controls the effect of postings on the organisation's annual accounts: ·Balance sheet-effective – the postings of the Project accounting are factored in to the annual accounts and passed on to the Company accounting via an interface. ·For information purposes – the postings from partners may only be used for the proof of use list and are not factored in to the annual accounts (since the payment to the partner is posted as a cost). In this case, the postings are not passed on to Project accounting or Company accounting, but are only displayed in Project controlling. |
Authorised users |
Displays the names of the users who are assigned to the journal as assigned users. |
VC |
The voucher currency is the currency in which the amount on a voucher is shown. In Project accounting, voucher currencies are separated into journals. Amounts are converted from voucher currency to company currency using the Moving Average Rate Procedure. |
Accounting software |
The Accounting software of journals in this overview is always WINPACCS Accounting. |
First possible month-end closing |
Indicates the first period that may be entered in the journal. |
Release status |
Indicates whether the journal is released or if there are any unreleased changes to it. |
Device number |
When registering an installation of WINPACCS Accounting a device number must be entered. From the PC number you can see from which unit and from which installation a closing was uploaded. Further information about the device can be found in the Installation management . |

Shows the name of the journal. |
Journal category |
The Journal category of a journal determines, among other things, which transaction categories, transaction types and accounts are available in a journal. |
Journal class |
Journals in this overview always have the Project accounting journal class. Journals such as these contain balance sheet effective postings from WINPACCS Accounting. |
Journal number |
The journal number is the unique identifier for a journal. A journal number consists of a maximum of three characters, which may be numbers or letters. |
Journal status |
So that postings can be entered in a journal, the journal must be accepted by an authorised user at an installation. The journal status describes the status necessary for this in WINPACCS Cloud or WINPACCS Accounting. When the user accepts a journal, it is thus blocked for other Project accounting installations. Simultaneously working in the same journals in different locations is not conducive to good project accounting. In WINPACCS Accounting the journal status indicates whether a journal has been accepted and can therefore be posted to or not. The following journal statuses are available: ·"Available" (The journal can be accepted by the installation.) ·"Accepted" (The journal is currently accepted by the installation.) ·"Not available" (The journal cannot be accepted because another installation has accepted it.) ·"Finalised" (Work in the journal has been completed and it can no longer be accepted.) In WINPACCS Cloud the journal status history can be viewed for each journal across all the installations. The following journal statuses are available in the Cloud: ·"Available" (The journal can be accepted by an installation.) ·"Accepted" (The journal is currently accepted by an installation.) ·"Finalised" (Work in the journal has been completed and it can no longer be accepted by any installation.) |
