Expect the Unexpected: An Upgrade Issue (and Fix) with GP9 to GP10: Christina Phillips at Dynamics GP Land shares an upgrade issue her team experienced with Project Accounting and Purchase Order, and how to resolve it: "This week I had an interesting issue pop up after an upgrade from GP9 to GP10. We have done many upgrades at this point, including ones involving project accounting, so this issue was a surprise... There were no errors during the upgrade, but post upgrade a user noticed that there were no longer any account numbers on purchase order line items. When she went to receive the purchase orders, the receipts did not default a Cost of Goods Sold account since there was no account on the line item on the purchase order...

"...I looked in the PA10601, the PA Purchase Order Line table. And the PACogs_Idx field was still populated. I checked my test purchase order that I had entered, to make sure that it populated both POP10110.INVINDX and PA10601.PACogs_Idx with the same values... Then it was easy enough to do a join on the PO number and ORD fields in order to update the POP10110 with the correct account index... All is well now, and the user is able to enter and post (with accounts defaulting)."
