Understanding Changes to Previously Billed Progress Billing Lines

After a progress billing line has been billed, you cannot make any changes to the billing line. To change it, you must create a new billing line. This new billing line can be on a new change order or on the same change order as the original progress billing line.

When you create a new progress billing line, you can use the schedule of percent complete to override a previously defined progress billing line in the same contract. To do this, you must:

  • Define the progress billing line on a subsequent change order for the contract or on the same change order as the original progress billing line.

  • Define the percent complete for billing for the new billing line.

  • Cross-reference the new billing line for progress billing to the previously defined progress billing line.

The system automatically assigns I (inactive) to the Billed Flag field on the Progress Billing Line Revisions form for the remaining unbilled percentages for the cross-referenced billing line. The system uses the cross-referenced progress billing line to create a billing amount.
