Project Budget Parameters (tpptc0100s000)

	Project Budget Parameters (tpptc0100s000) Use this session to define the parameters for use in the Budgeting of Project. There are two sets of parameters: For general use in Budgeting. Especially for cost analysis. Budget cost analysis enables you to report on the details of a selected project budget. If you want to use the budget cost analysis, you can enter a default code in this session. Related topics Using parameters and defaults Using budget cost analysis General Introduction Date The date and time that the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting. Description The description of the parameter set. For example, the reason why the previous setting was changed. Settings Unit of Measure The default unit for material dimensions. You must select a unit of the Length type. This is used in Budgeting as a unit for the length and width. Propose Element Relationships If this check box is selected, the Maintain Parent Element (tpptc1204m000) session is automatically started when you save a newly defined element in the Elements (tpptc1100m000) session. You must select this check box, if you create elements in a single-level structure, that is, a top element with the underlying elements. The Maintain Parent Element (tpptc1204m000) session always shows the same element (in this case, the top element) as the parent element. Note This check box is applicable only if the Element check box is selected in the Project Parameters (tppdm0100s000) session. History Log History of Budget If this check box is selected, the budget line history is kept for: Budget and surcharge lines with the Actual status Budget lines with the Final status that have been recorded with the Budget Adjustments (tpptc0170m000) session. Note LN checks whether this check box is selected when running the Generate Control Data (tpptc1230m000) session. The date this check box was selected must then be earlier than the run date, otherwise the data used in the Generate Control run can be corrupted. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Project history. Purchase Budget Automatically Generate Detail Lines Indicates whether or not purchase budget lines are created from the current budget. If this check box is selected, the following applies: If you maintain budget parts in the Purchase Budget Part (tpptc4110s000) session, LN prompts you to create budget purchase lines. If you answer Yes, the lines are created in the Purchase-Budget Detail Line (tpptc4120s000) session. If this check box is cleared, no detail lines of budget parts are created if you maintain budget parts. Purchase Budget > 100% Allowed If this check box is selected, you can use more than 100% of a budget line amount in the purchase budget. Service Budget Allow changes for Service Related Budget Lines If this check box is selected, the quantity, unit, rate/price and the budget date fields can be modified on Activity Budget Lines that are linked to Service, only if the budget lines are not transferred to Service. Related topics Integration of Project with Service Use Matching Task Codes If this check box is selected, Infor LN checks for the identical task codes in Project and Service. If existing, the task code is used without a mapping in Project and Service. Code Length of Element The length of the element code. The maximum length is 16 characters. Note This field is applicable only if the Element check box is selected in the Project Parameters (tppdm0100s000) session. The difference between the maximum of 16 characters and the code length specified as a parameter is used to determine the length of sequence number that is generated. As the minimum length is 4, the maximum sequence number is 4. For example, if the Code Length is set to 5, a maximum of 3 characters can be used to create a unique project element. Consequently, the first project element is xxxxx001 and the second project element is xxxxx002 and so on. This is applicable when an element is created using these Launch Estimate to Budget (tpest2200m000) session. Text If this check box is selected, a text is present. Cost Analysis Budget Status Free If this check box is selected, budget lines with this status are included in the budget-cost analysis. The value you select here is the default value for the Budget with Status Free field in the Generate Budget Cost Analysis (tpptc3200m000) session. Actual If this check box is selected, budget lines with this status are included in the control data that is created with the Generate Control Data (tpptc1230m000) Final If this check box is selected, budget lines with this status are included in the budget-cost analysis session. The value you select here is the default value for the Budget with Status Final field in the Generate Budget Cost Analysis (tpptc3200m000) session. Final If this check box is selected, budget lines with this status are included in the control data that is created with the Generate Control Data (tpptc1230m000) session. Default Default Budget Cost Analysis Version The budget-cost analysis version code entered here is the default value for the Budget Cost Analysis Version field in the Generate Budget Cost Analysis (tpptc3200m000) session. Note To run the Budget Cost Analysis Versions (tpptc3500m000), the Default Budget Cost Analysis Version field in the Project Budget Parameters (tpptc0100s000) session must be specified.
