Project Posting Groups

The activation of WIP calculation occurs only if ‘Project Posting Categories’ have been configured, which we will enter in the project’s general area. Entering the category will automatically populate the field at the WBS line level as well.


Project Posting Categories


This is a standard setup, for more information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/projects-how-setup-jobs?tabs=current-experience

WIP Methods

Others important setup are WIP Method and WIP Posting Method:


The method encoding allows you to specify the timing for recognizing costs and revenues, giving you the flexibility to manage the two pieces of information differently.


IMPORTANT:the app only supports the 2 methods circled in orange: ‘JOB COMPLETED’ and ‘PERCCOMPL’.

Note: The last column distinguishes between system-defined methods and those that can be custom-defined. Obviously, the rows with this flag are not modifiable.

WIP Posting Method

Specifies how to recording WIP:

  • For the project: total WIP costs and sales value are used to calculate WIP.
  • For project accounting entries: accumulated values of WIP costs and sales are used to calculate WIP.

On the WBS rows, it is necessary to insert 2 informations:

  • The first is entered in the header as “WIP Method,” which is automatically pre-filled but can be adjusted as needed.
  • The second is managed by the “Total WIP” selector.


Total WIP can assume the following values:

  • Total: To calculate all cost or revenue rows.
  • Exclude: To exclude the row from the WIP calculation.
