Performance aspects

The settings in this session could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Delete and archive in Project Control.

 

Project

A collection of manufacturing and purchasing actions that are performed especially for a particular customer order. A project is initiated by a customer order for items having a To Order order policy. The purpose of a project is to plan and coordinate the production of these items.

For a standard-to-order production, the project is only used to link the item with the customer order. Otherwise, a project can include:

  • Customized item data (BOMs and routings)
  • Project planning (activity planning)

A budget is a special type of project. A budget is used to plan and estimate, not to carry out production.

Delete Project Inventory up to Value

The currency in which the maximum project inventory amount is expressed. If this amount is greater than the value of the inventory, the inventory will be deleted.

Delete Inventory up to Value

Enter the maximum project inventory amount, up to which any project inventory on hand may be automatically deleted from LN.

Reason for Adjustment Orders

When an order is adjusted, you use a reason code to indicate why this was done.

Perform Estimated Cost Calculation

If this check box is selected, the estimated standard cost for the PCS project is calculated.

The estimated standard cost of a PCS project is based on the standard costs of items linked to the project, with the project quantity taken into account, estimated surcharges, and estimated standard cost of activities.

Note
  • Previously calculated estimated costs are overwritten if estimated cost calculation is performed.
  • If the check box is cleared, the estimated project costs are not calculated but defaulted from the Cost Price by Project (tipcs3560m000) session.
Overrule Posting Date for Project Related Transactions

If this check box is selected, and a date is present in the Posting Date field, then the Posting Date can be used as the transaction date for the following integration transactions that are created during closing of the PCS project:

  • Project (PCS) / Project Surcharges
  • Project (PCS) / Cost of Goods Sold (General)
  • Project (PCS) / General Results

However, the previously mentioned integration transactions only use the Posting Date in the Close Project (tipcs2250m000) session if for the involved PCS project the Post on Current Date check box in the Project Details (tipcs2130m000) session is cleared. In that case, the Close Project (tipcs2250m000) session overwrites the Posting Date in the Project Details (tipcs2130m000) session during PCS project closure.

If this check box is cleared, the transaction date of the previously mentioned integration transactions equals the Posting Date in the Project Details (tipcs2130m000) session, if the Posting Date is present. If the Posting Date is not present in the Project Details (tipcs2130m000) session, the transaction date equals the moment that you started the Close Project (tipcs2250m000) session.

Note

If the previously mentioned integration transactions are created by the Calculate Cost Prices by Project (tipcs3250m000) session before the PCS project is closed, the transaction date is the Posting Date in the Project Details (tipcs2130m000) session. This date can be overwritten by the Close Project (tipcs2250m000) session.

Posting Date

The date entered in the Posting Date field for projects which are to be closed and for which the Overwrite Posting Date for Project Related Transactions field is Yes.
