Configure Project Settings

Use this screen to control certain system-wide project features.

You can maintain calculations, burdening, and validation features in this screen, and determine the length of the first segment for the project. Note that this screen is company-wide and, after being saved, must not be modified.

Features that can be included or excluded are:

  • Required validation for organizations that charge a project.
  • Required production of an Incurred Cost Submission package.
  • Application of General and Administrative (G&A) Cost of Money to Overhead (O/H) Cost of Money.

Complete this screen when first initializing Costpoint. Do not modify it unless certain setting changes are required. You cannot change the length of the first project level.

Note: You must exit Costpoint, then re-enter Costpoint, or else run Rebuild Global Settings for any saved modifications to take effect. 

Carefully control who has rights to this screen.

Note: The UI profile you are assigned may have caused some fields to be hidden on your screen. For more information, contact your system administrator.
