Defining period of performance (AC/BR/GM)

Use this procedure to define a period of performance for an activity or activity group. The period of performance is a date tolerance that allows you to enter transactions outside the date range for an activity or activity group.

  1. Verify that the POP Date field on the Process tab of Activity Group (AC00.1) is set to Y. Project Accounting will not look for period of performance dates for an activity group if this flag is not set.
  2. Access Activity Period of Performance (AC10.6).
  3. Use these guidelines to specify the field values:
    Activity Group

    Select the activity group for which you are defining the period of performance.

    Activity

    Select the activity for which you are defining the period of performance.

    POP Template

    Select a period of performance template to set up date tolerances for the activity or activity group. Period of Performance templates are defined on Period of Performance Template (AC10.7).

    Sys

    Select the system code for which you are defining periods of performance. You must set up periods of performance for each system code for which you want to allow transactions outside of the normal activity date range.

    Begin Days/End Days

    Specify the number of days before or after the activity date range that you want to allow transactions. For example, if you enter 30 in the Begin Days field, then transactions will be allowed for 30 days before the activity's date range. The Date field is automatically updated based on the Begin Days or End Days value you enter.

    Date

    Specify the dates for which transactions is allowed for the system code. If you enter a Begin Days or End Days value, then the Date fields are updated automatically based on the activity's date range.
