MANAGE IWO PROJECTS

Use this screen to set up projects to be transferred during the IWO process.

These projects must pre-exist as valid projects in the sending database before they are available for in this screen. The projects must be set up as billable projects so the detailed transaction data can be added to the open billing detail table. You must also set the Project Classification to INTER-COMPANY on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow. Also, you must create a record on the Manage Project Billing Information screen for these projects.

Costpoint uses these criteria to limit the records when you select a valid IWO project. If you want revenue recognized for these projects, you must set up the Manage Revenue Information screen, and a revenue account must exist in the project account group of the project. If you want costs transferred, you do not need to create a revenue record, but you must set up a cost transfer account and include it in the project account group.

This screen is the third step in the IWO process.

Location

Identification

Project

Enter, or click to select, the project that is transferred. The projects available for are those set up with a Project Classification of INTER-COMPANY on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow. In addition, the project must contain Project Billing Information screen information. The field to the right displays the project description.

Project Details

Location

Enter, or click to select, the transfer location. These locations were originally created on the Configure Transfer Locations screen.

Currency

This non-editable field displays the currency for the selected billing project ID, as set up in Manage Project Billing Information. This currency should match the receiving location currency that was set up on the Configure Transfer Locations screen for the selected receiving location.

Expense Mapping

Enter, or click to select, the expense mapping. Create these locations on the Manage IWO Expense Mappings screen.

Labor Transfer

Use this group box to select the type of labor transfer you would like to make.

If you are transferring data within the same database and to the same company, you can select the As Charged or the To Single Employee options. The As Subcontractor and Automatically Set Up Subcontractors options are disabled.  

If you are working with the same database but are transferring data to a different company within that database, you can select the As Subcontractor or To Single Employee options. The As Charged option is unavailable. This selection is not available because the same employee/vendor cannot exist within the same database, even for a different company. 

If you are planning to use two different databases from different companies, all options are available.  

As Charged

Select this option to transfer everything including employee/vendor ID, GLC, and PLC to the new project as it was originally charged. It is available only if you are transferring data from one database to an external database or within the same company and database. The receiving database must contain the employee/vendor ID, PLC, and GLC in the tables. If you select this option and are transferring to an external database, you need to set up the employee and/or vendor information in the destination database. If you are transferring within the same company and database, this is not necessary.

To Single Employee

Select this option to transfer all labor costs to one employee. This indicates that you do not want to transfer labor detail at the employee level. Because the employee ID (EMPL_ID) must exist in the receiving database, you can create a "dummy" employee to receive all labor records. This selection is available whether you are transferring within the same company and database, transferring to an external database in the same company, or transferring to a different company within the same database.

As Subcontractors

Use this option to transfer labor costs as subcontractor costs. If you also select the Automatically Set Up Subcontractors check box, you can have the vendor employees automatically set up when the IWO is posted.  If you do not select that option, you must manually enter the vendor employees in the destination database. This option is available whether you are transferring to a different company within the same database or to a different company in a different database.  It is unavailable when you are transferring data within the same database and company.  

Employee ID

If you selected the To Single Employee option, enter, or click  to select, the employee ID that receives all the labor costs. The field to the right displays the employee name.

Automatically Set Up Subcontractors

Select this check box to set up subcontractors automatically during the Post IWO Journal process.  This option is available whether you are transferring data within the same database to a different company or to an external database that is a different company. 

Record

Unbilled Receivable

Select this option if you want the IWO journal to credit an unbilled account. This project recognizes revenue.

Cost Transfer

Select this option if you want the IWO journal to credit the cost transfer account. This project does not recognize revenue.

Validate Posting Accounts

Select this check box to have every entry validated for account, organization, and project, according to your Costpoint settings. You usually select this check box when making transfers within the same database.
