UPDATE PROJECT CONTRACT AND FUNDED VALUES

Use this toolkit to update the PROJ table with the modification amounts from the PROJ_MOD table. Specifically, in PROJ_MOD, the Value Cost and Value Fee fields, which are PROJ_V_CST_AMT and PROJ_V_FEE_AMT, respectively, update PROJ_V_CST_AMT, PROJ_V_FEE_AMT, and PROJ_V_TOT_AMT in PROJ. Also in PROJ_MOD, the Funding Cost and Funding Fee fields, which are PROJ_F_CST_AMT and PROJ_F_FEE_AMT, respectively, are summed to update PROJ_F_CST_AMT, PROJ_F_FEE_AMT, PROJ_F_TOT_AMT in PROJ.

Amounts in the PROJ_MOD table are summed from the bottom of the project tree and inserted into each level of the project. You use this toolkit under three circumstances:

Location

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Project Range

Use this group box to select all projects or one project.

All

Select this option to update all projects.

One

Select this option to update one project.

Project

Enter, or click to select, the project name. This field is not available unless you select the One option in the Project Range group box. The toolkit updates for the project and its lower levels. To update all projects, leave this field empty and select the All option in the Project Range group box.

Execute

Click to start the toolkit. Depending on the size of your database (that is, the number of projects and modifications), the toolkit could take considerable time to complete.
