Cost Object Mapping

You can check the cost object mapping for a specific or range of projects, elements and activities. You can use the Check Cost Object Mapping (tppdm6270m000) session to check:

  • If a reference activity is linked to the project activity or element for a selected range of projects.
  • The mapping data, if defined, for the specified reference activity. If the mapping data exists, the session allows you to check if the resources linked to the specific reference activities are mapped to the project cost object.

You can select the reference activity and the project for which the mapping data must be verified. You can also only generate a report of the mapping errors, if any.

Note: 
  • Infor LN retrieves the mapping information from the Standard Cost Object Mapping with Service (tppdm0171m000) and Project Cost Object Mapping with Service (tppdm6170m000) sessions.
  • The mapping functionality is applicable only for the reference activities for which the Activity Use field is set to General and Field Service.
  • It is not mandatory to create a mapping for the items of the type Materials, however the Project and Service item data must be defined for the item.
  • If the Use Matching Task Codes check box is selected in the Project Budget Parameters (tpptc0100s000) session and mapping data is not defined in the Standard Cost Object Mapping with Service (tppdm0171m000) or Project Cost Object Mapping with Service (tppdm6170m000) session, Infor LN uses the identical tasks codes (if available) in for Project and Service.
