Project (tpppc)

As part of the Aerospace & Defense developments, the Project Cost and Revenue Ledger processes are restructured to allow for a better integration with other packages and ease of use. As a consequence, the well-known 5 Cost Type tables (Material/Labor/Equipment/Subcontracting/Sundry) are merged into one. The manual step to process these Costs into the General Ledger and Project Cost History is automated. After a transaction is approved and sent to Project for storage in the Project Cost Ledger, it is automatically processed to the General Ledger and Project Cost History. Manual Costs must still be approved and processed manually to the General Ledger and Project Cost History.

The revenues that arrive from Invoicing are also automatically posted to General Ledger and Project Revenue History. Revenues that are specified manually in the Revenues session must still be manually approved and processed to the General Ledger and Project Revenue History.

To prepare for the Data Upgrade and the new processes in LN 10.2 (or later version). You must process all costs and revenues that are not posted to General Ledger and not yet available in Project Cost/Revenue History.

  1. Start session Global Approving (tpppc4200m000). Ensure that all Projects are in range and that on the second tab all categories are selected. Click Approve
  2. Start session Process Transactions (tpppc4802m000) and ensure all Projects are in range and that on the second tab all categories are selected. Click Process.
  3. Repeat this process for all companies that are in use and require Data Upgrade. This can be verified by starting session Costs (tpppc2811m000) and conclude that there are no more Costs visible for Cost Types Material/Labor/Equipment/Subcontracting/Sundry.
    The same must be verified for the Revenues by starting the Revenues (tpppc3501m000) session; no Revenue records must be visible.

    When this is finished, the Project package is ready to be upgraded through the Data Upgrade Engine.

    Note: If the sessions, tpppc2511m000/tpppc2531m000/ tpppc2551m000/tpppc2571m000/tpppc2591m000/tpppc3501m000, show Cost/Revenue records during the LN 10.2 (or later versions) installation. You will create serious data corruption of not processed Costs/Revenues. This data corruption cannot be reverted or converted anymore.
