When consuming Items against a Project/Job (via Inventory Picks or Job Journals) the generated Item Ledger Entry is recorded as a Negative Adjustment, from an audit perspective this give no easy visibility of what type of transaction has been posted. There should be a new Type on the Item Ledger Entry of Project Consumption (or Project Usage).
There should also be a new field on the General Posting Setup for Project Consumption/Usage to allow the value of the posting to go to a different G/L Account, currently it is posted the Inventory Adjustment account. For auditing purposes this causes concern because it is not an Inventory Adjustment it is a Project Cost.

Nearly a year later and this is still "New" I have customers using projects and they want to plan based on Project Usage and there is no easy way to do this. I don't think any of the AI forecasting tools provided for BC take into account projects, just sales. This really doesn't help anyone.
