Projects in Project Control (PCS) are used to support manufacturing and engineer-to-order processes. The PCS projects are usually a mix of production orders and activities.

The Project 360 (tipcs0320m000) session is typically used by project managers for tasks such as:

  • Monitoring the progress of a PCS project.
  • Listing the material that must be purchased for a project.
  • Viewing allocated and available capacity for the project.
  • Checking whether the project costs do not exceed the budget.

Invoiced (Incl. VAT)
The order amount for which already an invoice is sent. The invoiced amount shows the total amount per invoice.

The amount is derived from all sales orders, service orders and warehouse orders at the delivery side of the PCS project for which invoices have been printed by the Invoicing module.

If the project is a main project, the invoiced amounts for the subprojects are automatically aggregated to the main project with the Calculate Standard Costs by Project (tipcs3250m000) session.

The invoiced amount is updated during project cost calculation in the Calculate Standard Costs by Project (tipcs3250m000) session and Close Project (tipcs2250m000) session.
