When a company doesnt want to bill item transactions to the end customer but instead they have its partners submit their time entry thru timesheets as regular employees ( but with a zero cost rate since the actual cost gets posted thru items ), so that the end customer doesnt see that any work has been outsourced to another company, lets say.
It that case item transactions get posted to the project thru a project related Po with a zero price rate but a non-zero cost. So when such transactions included into a project invoice along with hour transactions, the standard PWP functionality doesnt work even if the customer invoice is paid in full.
Due to covid -19 this functionality has become very crucial and it would allow track customer payments against project invoices without having to change any business processes.Thank you.
