Budget Status

The budget status of the element.

Note: If the status is Final and you add adjustments, you cannot change the status to Actual again.

Control

Physical Progress

If this check box is selected, you can register progress for the element. You can use the Physical Progress Level field to specify the level at which you want to record the progress of the project.

If this check box is cleared, you can maintain the progress for the element at a lower level in the budget structure.

Physical Progress Level

The default level at which you want to register progress.

Allowed values

Element: The project progress is recorded at the element level.
Element / Control Code: The project progress is recorded at the element or control code level.

Cost Control

If this check box is selected, costs entered on the budget lines for this element are transferred with the element to the control budget.

If this check box is cleared, the budget lines of the element are aggregated to the next higher level element which has been included in the budget structure as parent, and for which the cost control check box is selected.

Note: You can only maintain cost control for the element, if the element appears once in the budget structure. If the same element appears several times in the budget structure and the control budget check box is selected, LN gives a message and clears the check box.

Work Authorization Status

The work authorization status of the element.

Reason

The reason for holding the work execution of the element. The field is enabled only when the Work Authorization Status field is set to On Hold.

Description

The description or name of the code.

Asset

Asset: If this check box is selected, the element is assigned to a capital project.

Note: If an element is set to be capitalized, neither the child nor parent of the element can be capitalized.

Invoicing

Progress Based Invoicing

Indicates whether the element can be invoiced.

Progress for Invoice

The nature of the element.

You can maintain this field only if the Invoice Type field in the Contract Lines (tpctm1110m000) session is Progress Invoice in combination with the Progress based Invoicing field in the current session:

If this field is set to Yes and the element is indirect, progress is booked on the direct element above this element. If the element is direct, the progress is booked on this element.
If the field is set to Project Physical Progress, and the element is indirect, the progress is rolled down to this element.
If the field is set to No, no progress is rolled down or booked on this element.

Group Indirect Work

You can maintain this field only if the field Progr. Based Inv. is set to Project Phys. Progr. As a result, the Element Type field will become Indirect. This indicates the number of a group of costs that is related to indirect work.

For each group you can add up the costs on the progress invoice. In this way, you can show the total of indirect work by group, which is sometimes demanded by a principal.

The numbering of groups is free, but the groups are printed on the progress invoice in numeric order.

Use Holdback

If this check box is selected, you can use holdback for this element.

To be Settled

If this check box is selected, the cost of additional work (direct work) can be settled. This means that these costs are included in the progress invoice at a special settlement price.

If this check box is cleared, the cost of additional work (direct work) cannot be settled.

Note: Additional costs can only be settled if the Progress for Invoice field is set to Direct in the current session, and the Invoice Type field is set to Progress Invoice in the Contract Lines (tpctm1110m000) session.

Billable

If this check box is selected, the element costs are billed to the customer.

Budgeting

Budget Quantity

The budgeted number of elements. You need to enter a value only if you invoice by element.

If the element is part of an element structure, LN performs calculations with the frequency recorded via the Elements (tpptc1100m000) session. The frequency indicates the number of times the element appears in the project.

Time Unit

The time unit that is linked to the element.

Production Rate

The production rate expressed in quantities by time unit.

Number of Time Units

The number of time units.

Physical Progress Quantity

The value of this field is used for cost control; progress recording.

If the invoice method is Unit Rate or Progress for the project, the progress quantity must be filled. This quantity is the expected quantity that times the sales price can be invoiced. For a Unit Rate method the actual quantity can differ from the estimated quantity. For the Progress method, the progress must be equal to the physical progress quantity to be able to invoice the work.

Pricing

Sales Currency

The business partner currency.

Sales Price

The unit sales price for the element.

You can maintain this field only if the Invoice Type field in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session reads Progress Invoice or Unit Rate.

Note: For a project, when an activity is performed at multiple locations, it is easier to transfer goods when the warehouse is also defined at the Activity/Element level.

ERP uses the following search path to check inventory, when generating PRP orders:

The inventory in the Priority Supply Warehouse defined in the Activity (tppss2100m000) or Elements (tpptc1100m000) session.

This value is defaulted from the Sort Argument field in the Standard Element (tppdm0180s000) session. This value can be modified. Reports can be based on the selection of the sort argument.

Service

Reference Activity

The reference activity defined in Service that is linked to the project element.
