Project managers cannot accurately track and reconcile actual costs for resources with end-of-task accrual in MS Project

Project managers using MS Project 2016 struggle with a critical accounting problem: the software incorrectly updates actual cost figures for cost resources configured to accrue expenses at task completion, making financial reporting inaccurate and creating reconciliation nightmares. This breaks the fundamental requirement of project cost tracking and creates compliance issues for organizations that need precise cost accounting for billing, budgeting, and financial audits.
