LINK PROJECTS/ACCOUNTS/ORGANIZATIONS

Use this screen to maintain the table that contains all valid account/org combinations for a given project. You can enter project/account/org combinations into the table through this screen and set them to Inactive. You can click to populate this screen with existing combinations. This means you can retrieve the exact project/account/organization combinations you would like to see from the table. Any project/account/org combinations entered here are valid as long as the accounts entered against a given project belong to the Project Account Group assigned to that project on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow screen.

You normally use the Set Up Account/Organization Links subtask of the Manage Project User Flow screen to initially create information in the Project/Account/Org table. You generally add new project/account/ org combinations in this screen when you have selected the Validate Project Charging By Organizations check box on the Configure Project Settings screen.

You should use this screen after you initially assign the project account group to projects on the Basic Info tab on the Project User Flow. Use this screen only to make modifications to the project/account/org combinations or to set them inactive. You can set up additional project/account/org combinations in this screen, on the Mass Link Projects/Accounts/Organizations screen, or on the Set Up Account/Organization Links subtask of the Manage Project User Flow screen.

Project

This required field displays a valid user-supplied project. The project entered can indicate that you want to enter a project/account/org combination into the table or modify the status of an existing combination. Before you can add a new combination, the Validate Project Charging By Organizations check box on the Configure Project Settings screen must be selected. If the check box is not selected, you can maintain only the "Active/Inactive" status of an existing combination in this screen.

The initial mapping of organizations to project/account combinations is accomplished on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow screen. Using wildcards, the organizations, including the owning org of the project, are combined with the "set" of accounts specified in the Project Account Group, and the combination of the three is created in the Project/Account/Org table. If the Validate Project Charging By Organizations check box on the Configure Project Settings screen is selected, you should use this screen only to create mappings of additional organizations to project/account combinations that were not set up on the Basic Info tab. Alternatively, you can use the Mass Link Projects/Accounts/Organizations screen to create valid combinations using a mass link feature.

If the Validate Project Charging By Organizations check box on the Configure Project Settings screen is not selected, the initial mapping of the owning organization of the project to the "set" of accounts specified by the Project Account Group is still made. No other maintenance of the Project/Account/Org table is required. Costpoint allows for ANY organization to charge the project/account combinations in the Project/Account/Org table.

Organization

This check box is initially selected for all new project/account/org combinations, but can later be cleared (Inactive) for any particular combination.

If this is the case, the project cannot accept any additional charges.
