Archive Project (tipcs2260m000)

When a closed project is archived the project data is moved from this project to the archive files. The archived project data from the original file is deleted, except for the project code in the Projects (tipcs2101m000) session. The code remains because of references with other parts of LN. The archived data is required if statistics is to be rebuilt in the Purchase Control and Sales Control modules.

Note

If there is a main project, then all sub-projects are archived first.

 

Calculation Group

A code representing a group of projects the user wants to compare financially.

You can assign a calculation group to:

  • A budget
  • A main project (as long as the calculation group is not assigned to another project or single project)
  • A single project (as long as the calculation group is not assigned to another main project or single project)
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.
