PCS Project Status

The status of the general project (PCS).

Allowed values

Free

You can carry out project engineering. This means that you can:

• Define the project master schedule (PMS) by using the Project Control module.
• Maintain the project structure.
• Maintain the customized product structure by using customized bills of material and routing sheets.
• Carry out project estimating.

Simulated

You simulate the rough capacity requirements planning and the detailed material and resource requirements planning (RRP) based on the network planning. The capacity requirements for a simulated project are visualized separately. LN generates planned RRP purchase orders, planned production orders, and PRP warehouse orders for customized items. However, those orders cannot be released. Moreover, the RRP does not allocate standard items to the project.

Active

This status indicates the project's execution stage. You can release planned orders, so that the required purchase and production activities can be actually started and completed.

Canceled

The project has been canceled. You cannot release new orders for the project, but you can, however, finish pending logistical activities. You can close a canceled project, but a project can also remain canceled. If the project remains canceled, be aware that the final costs are not posted to Financials , and that WIP can still exist for completed orders. Costs are only posted if you close the project.

Finished

As far as manufacturing is concerned, the project is finished. Also all purchase and production activities have been completed or closed, and all sales orders have been delivered for the project.

Closed

Financially, the project has been closed. This means that the financial project results have been computed. Financial project transactions can no longer be posted to the project.

To be Closed

If you select the COS and Revenues Restricted to Financial Company of PCS Project check box in the Project Control Parameters (tipcs0100m000) session, financial transactions are posted on the financial companies of the sales office, service department, and/or warehouse instead of on the financial company of the PCS project. If internal invoices are sent from the PCS project to those departments, and the internal invoices are not completed yet, the Close Project (tipcs2250m000) session sets the project status to To be Closed instead of to Closed. You must first complete the internal invoices, and then run the Close Project (tipcs2250m000) session again to set the project status to Closed.

Archived

The project has been archived. This means that all project data has been stored in archive files and are removed from the original files.
