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 you can use to specify 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 does 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. Specify this information:
    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 transactions outside of the normal activity date range.

    Begin Days/End Days

    Specify the number of days before or after the activity date range for the transactions. For example, if you specify 30 in the Begin Days field, then transactions are accepted 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 specify.

    Date

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