Mapping of Service costs to Project

To generate budget lines and to roll up service order costs to a project, links between the project and the service order are created on these levels:

Cost type
Cost object
Activity

Cost type mapping

Service cost types are mapped to Project cost types in the following manner:

Service cost type	Project cost type
Material	Materials
Labor	Labor
Tooling	Equipment
Traveling	Sundry Costs
Subcontracting	Subcontracting
Help Desk	Sundry Costs
Other	Sundry Costs
Uptime	N/A
All	N/A
Freight	Sundry Costs
Quotation Invoice	N/A

Cost object mapping

Based on the cost type, cost objects in Service can be mapped to cost objects in Project. Using the Project Cost Object Mapping with Service (tppdm6170m000) session, you can link each cost object in Project to one specific cost object in Service, and vice versa.

Note

Cost object mapping is project specific.
If an item is used in Service, and it is expected to be used as cost object in Project also, either of the following must apply:
- The item exists in the Items - Project (tppdm0505m000) session and in the Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) session.
- A cost object mapping is in place.

Activity- Reference Activity

Every project has at least one activity and, optionally, some budget lines. A service order has at least one reference activity, which contains resources that serve as a template for the service order. Therefore, the reference activity (and frequency) in Service can be linked to a standard activity in Project. When the standard activity is used to create a project activity, the reference activity's resources are copied as well. This information is used when project budget lines and service orders are generated.
