Project Task (tppdm6111s000)
Use this session to maintain project-specific labor cost objects. These differ from standard labor cost objects in that they can only be used in one project. Use the Tasks (tppdm0511m000) session to list standard labor cost objects. A labor cost object represents the human effort required to perform a task. You can copy default values from standard labor cost objects. To do this, enter the code for the standard labor cost object in the Task field, and then confirm that you want to copy the standard labor data. The rest of the fields on this form are filled in with details taken from the standard labor cost object.
Field Information
- Project
-
The code that uniquely identifies the project.
- Description
-
The description or name of the code.
- Project Status
-
Status of the project.
- Task
-
The code that uniquely identifies the cost object. To copy details from a previously defined standard labor cost object, enter the code here and then confirm that you want to copy the standard labor data. The rest of the fields on this form are then filled in with details taken from the standard labor cost object.
- Description
-
The description or name of the code.
- Search Key
-
The search key associated with the cost object.
- Control Code
-
The control code associated with the cost object.
Standard labor The control code is a standard cost object.
Project labor The control code is a project-specific cost object.
- Control Code Labor
-
The control code associated with this cost object. S indicates that the control code is a standard cost object. P indicates that the control code is a project-specific cost object
- Control Code Labor
-
The description or name of the code.
- Control Function
-
This field indicates the function of the cost object for cost control.
- Cost Component
-
The cost component associated with the cost object. You can use a cost component to create a cross view in your budget or in your cost control, for cost objects that share particular characteristics.
Note: You can only specify a cost component for which the Component Type is set to Detail or Collect in the Cost Components (tcmcs0148m000) session. - Description
-
The description or name of the code.
- Text
-
If this check box is selected, the current cost object has an associated text that you can access by clicking the Text button.
- Cost Rate Currency
-
The currency that the cost rate is expressed in.
- Cost Rate
-
The default cost labor rate, per unit, for this cost object. The budget labor rate search path (as specified in the Project (tppdm6600m400) session determines whether or not this cost rate is used in the budget.
Note: If the reference activity is linked to a new labor code, ERP retrieves the Time Unit, Norm (duration of service) and Cost Rate values from Service. The Cost Rate = Cost amount/Norm. You can overwrite the value. If the reference activity is linked to an existing labor code, ERP asks you if you want to overwrite the values with the data of the reference activity. - Final Labor Rate
-
If this check box is selected, the cost rate is the final rate and cannot be changed by the Update Project Prices and Rates (tppdm6201m000) session. This means that the rate remains stable for costs and budgets that reference it.
- Cost Rate Transaction Date
-
The last date that the cost rate was changed. If the reference activity is linked to the labor code, the date gets updated to the current date when you update the Cost Rate.
- In Home Currency
-
If your company uses an independent currency system you can view the rate in a different currency.

-
The description or name of the code.
- Sales Rate Currency
-
The currency in which the sales rate is expressed.
- Sales Rate
-
The sales labor rate, per unit, for the labor code. The budget labor rate search path (as specified in the Project (tppdm6600m400) session) determines whether or not this sales rate is used in the budget.
- Final Sales Rate
-
If this check box is selected, the sales rate is the final rate and cannot be changed by the Update Project Prices and Rates (tppdm6201m000) session. This means that the rate remains stable for invoices that reference it.
- Sales Rate Transaction Date
-
The last date that the sales rate was changed.
- In Home Currency
-
If your company uses an independent currency system you can view the rate in a different currency.

-
The description or name of the code.
- Unit
-
The unit in which the cost object is measured.
- Description
-
The description or name of the code.
- Time Unit
-
The unit of time.
Note: If the reference activity is linked to a new labor code, ERP retrieves the Time Unit, Norm (duration of service) and Cost Rate values from Service. The Time Unit is the duration unit of Service. You can overwrite the value. If the reference activity is linked to an existing labor code, ERP asks you if you want to overwrite the values with the data of the reference activity. - Trade Group
-
The trade group associated with this cost object.
- Description
-
The description or name of the code.
- Norm
-
The labor norm associated with this cost object.
Note: If the reference activity is linked to a new labor code, ERP retrieves the Time Unit, Norm (duration of service) and Cost Rate values from Service. The Norm is the duration of the reference activity. You can overwrite the values. If the reference activity is linked to an existing labor code, ERP asks you if you want to overwrite the values with the data of the reference activity. - Norm Unit
-
The unit in which labor norm is expressed.
- Derived from
-
The code of the standard labor cost object from which this project-specific cost object is derived.
Use the session Tasks (tppdm0511m000) to list standard labor cost objects.
- Description
-
The description or name of the code.
- Register Progress
-
If this check box is selected, the progress can be entered while the project is in progress.
Remark: If the field Register Progress in the Project (tppdm6600m400) session is set to Yes or Variance=Inventory, the progress can be maintained for all cost objects that have the Register Progress check box selected.
The way the progress is computed depends on the setting of the field Register Progress for the project and the cost object.
