Open Cost Report

The Open Cost Report lists unbilled and unpaid client advances (charges entered using a CA code).  Items shown are as of the cutoff date entered but reflect all applied and posted payments and invoices through the current date.  In other words, if the report is run on March 5 with a cutoff date of February 28 for unbilled costs, it will include unbilled client advances with transaction dates on or before February 28 and unpaid costs (regardless of transaction date) as of March 5.

In order to facilitate balancing to the General Ledger, the report includes unbilled costs on non-billable matters and allows the user to show unbilled costs at their original value (before write ups and downs).
