PPC Parameters (tpppc0100s000)

Use this session to maintain parameters, including control periods and work in progress settings, for general use in the Project Progress module. You must define these parameters before you register costs and revenues elsewhere in the Project Progress module.

 

Introduction Date
The introduction date.
Description
The date and time that the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting.
General
Costs and Commitments
Type of Hard Commitment

This field determines whether hard commitments, in the total costs, are added to actual costs or to commitments in:

  • Monitoring
  • Project Progress
Note
  • Soft commitments are always booked as commitments in Cost Control.
  • Costs are always booked as costs in Cost Control.
  • For the actual cost or commitments in Cost Control, LN uses history postings that are posted to Financials.
Use Commitments as Basis for Forecast
This check box and the value of the Type of Hard Commitment field determine whether commitments are included in the costs while performing a cost forecast.

Hard commitments are based on purchase receipts and soft commitments on purchase orders. Hard commitments can be regarded as actual costs, because only the purchase invoice must be received and processed.

If this check box is selected, the value of the parameters is:

Type of hard commitmentHard commitment includedSoft commitment included
CostsYesYes
CommitmentsYesYes

 

If this check box is cleared, the value of the parameters is:

Type of hard commitmentHard commitment includedSoft commitment included
CostsYesNo
CommitmentsNoNo

 

Leading Forecast Method
Determines where you can manually enter your forecast.

Example

Your budget is one hundred euros, your actual costs are now sixty euros and you estimate your final budget will be a hundred-and-ten euros.

EEC: final budget - budget = 110 - 100 = 10

EAC: estimated final budget

ETC: final budget - actual costs = 110 - 60 = 50

Cost Component for Cost Plus Invoicing from Revenue
If this check box is selected, the cost component that you linked to the revenue code is used for the revenue transactions. This enables you to define an integration mapping scheme for revenue-based cost components.
Note

If this check box is cleared, the project cost component is used as the cost component for revenue transactions. The actual revenue cost component code is ignored.

Description
The description or name of the code.
Physical Progress
Physical Progress > 100% Allowed
If this check box is selected, you can enter a progress more than 100%. In other words, in this situation the actual quantity can exceed the budgeted quantity.

If this check box is cleared, the actual quantity cannot exceed the budgeted quantity, the maximum percentage remains 100% .

Physical Progress Labor based on Hours
If this check box is selected, progress is based on the budgeted number of hours. Otherwise, progress is based on the budgeted number of units.
Convert to Unit of Control Code
If this check box is selected, the quantities of cost objects are converted to the unit of the corresponding control code when you register progress and monitor projects.
Additional Information
Additional Tax Info
Data that is used in addition to the import/export data and that can be linked to order types.
Note

This data is required by some European Union member states.

Additional Info Set
Data that is used in addition to the import/export data and that can be liked to order types.
Note

This data is required by some European Union member states.

Service Integration
Default Employee
The default employee code to which the cost is aggregated in Project while using the cost component mapping and the employee code is not available in the source transaction. For example the cost of machine hours is mapped to cost type Labor. Labor cost checks for the presence of an employee code in the source transaction. If the employee code is not available on the Shop floor transaction, the default employee code will be used.
Default Labor Code
The default cost object code to which the cost is aggregated in Project when the service order is manually linked to the project.
Text
If this check box is selected, a text is present.
Control Period
Code Period Table for Cost Control
The default period code to be used for the cost-control periods. Choose a period with the Gaps Allowed between Years check box cleared, because Project does not work with this option.

The actual cost-control period consists of the default period code value and the values from the Period for Actual Cost Control field. This actual cost control period is used as the default cost-control period for processing transactions.

This field must be filled with a code before you start the project and must not be modified while projects are being run. If the Period table is changed, you will miss all the cost information and revenue information that pertains to a certain period of the former Period table.

Period for Actual Cost Control
The year for the actual cost-control period. You must define this period in the Periods (tcccp0170m000) session.

This value is shown as a default value on the cost control print reports and in the Build Actual Cost Control (tpppc4803m000) session.

Period for Actual Cost Control
The year for the actual cost-control period. You must define this period in the Periods (tcccp0170m000) session.

This value is shown as a default value on the cost control print reports and in the Build Actual Cost Control (tpppc4803m000) session.

Start Date/Finish Date
The dates on which the hours control period starts and ends. These dates are determined from the Period for Actual Hours Control field.
/
The dates on which the cost-control period starts and ends. These dates are determined from the Period for Actual Hours Control field.
Code Period Table for Hours Control
The default period code to be used for the hours control period.

The actual hours control period consists of the default period code value and the values from the Period for Actual Hours Control field. This default period code value is used as the default hours control period for processing costs.

This field must be filled with a code before you start the project and must not be modified during the execution of projects. If the Period table is changed then you will miss all the cost and revenue information pertaining to a certain period of the former Period table.

Period for Actual Hours Control
The year number that, together with the period number, identifies the actual hours control period. The year and period is shown as a default value on hours control print reports. The hours control period is used as hours are mostly entered in a period different from the current period.
Period for Actual Hours Control
The year number that, together with the period number, identifies the actual hours control period. The year and period is shown as a default value on hours control print reports.
Code Period Table for Fiscal Period
The code period table to be used for the fiscal period.
Work in Progress
WIP Formula Monitoring
Contract Amount in WIP
Indicates how, if at all, the contract amount is a factor in calculating the work in progress.
Costs in WIP
Indicates how, if at all, costs are a factor in calculating the work in progress.
Project Inventory in Costs
If this check box is selected, history postings of type Hard Commitment (Wareh.) are included in the commitments in Cost Control.
Commitments in WIP
If this check box is selected, commitments will be calculated as part of work in progress.
Sales Value Surcharge Costs in WIP
If this check box is selected, the cost amount that is part of WIP will be increased by the surcharge percentage as defined for the project in the WIP Sales Value Surcharge field of the Project (tppdm6100m000) session. This surcharge is applied to the costs and, if required, to the commitments.

If this check box is cleared, the surcharge will not be considered.

Include PCS WIP
Indicates how, if at all, PCS project work in progress costs are included on the Project and the Material cost type level.

Allowed values

  • Do not Include
  • In Soft Commitment
  • In Hard Commitment
Revenues in WIP
Indicates how, if at all, revenues are a factor in calculating work in process.
Interim Result in WIP
Indicates whether the interim result is a factor in calculating work in progress.
Extra WIP Entry in Finance
If this check box is selected, an invoice is posted to an interim account in Financials instead of directly to a work in process account. After processing the transaction in Financials, an entry is created in one of the accounts defined in Project, and the work in process account is charged for the relevant amounts.
Include Anticipated Amount
If this check box is selected, anticipated payments and anticipated receipts are included in the total paid/received amount.
