Problem

We have a project that had many purchases on it and we wanted to break the projects down to smaller scope for tracking purposes.  I had a one PO that had all of the purchases on it.

PO was already closed and fully invoiced.

Note:  The following solution can be applied without the Project component. 

Solution

Cost are collected through resources transactions.  On a PO, this would be a receipt.  When goods are received the charge is mad to the WO/Project, and when Post Maintenance costs is run, the costs are rolled up the hierarchy to Assets.

As the PO is fully invoiced, the solution is to enter Miscelaneous transactions to balance the charges between Work Orders.

1. Create new Projects and Project work orders to gather costs to be reallocated
2. Create and post miscelaneous transactions, with negative charge to original Work Order
3. Create and post balancing miscelaneous transaction, charge to new Work Order

Unfortunately, there is no way to adjust planned costs, so these charges will be not be part of planned costs on new Project and/or WO.
