Add/Edit/Delete Assignments Subtask

The Add/Edit/Delete Assignments subtask displays all of the projects to which the selected resource is currently assigned.

The same project may display more than once if a resource is used under different account IDs, PLCs, or Org IDs. The projects that display are those that fall within the selected Assignment Range.

Depending on security configuration, for example, whether it is based on projects or Org ID, you may have read-only access to the projects that display in Add/Edit/Delete Assignments.

To add a project, click New in the Assignment Projects table. The latest version of the budget is loaded and includes default values for Account ID, Pool Org ID, and PLC. The period columns, which reflect the Assignment Range you selected, display in the second half of the partitioned table.

Assign

After you finish planning hours for the selected resource, you can save your changes and continue planning hours for other resources, or before proceeding, you can update staff hours and/or consultant hours in the Project Budgets/EACs application with the current resource assignments by clicking Assign on the Add/Edit/Delete Assignments subtask.

To save changes without assigning them, click on the global menu and then click Close on the Add/Edit/Delete Assignments subtask. The Add/Edit/Delete Assignments table and the Selected Resources table both include a status column that indicates whether or not a resource record has been saved

If you click Assign, the Project Budgets/EACs application is updated, the status of an existing budget changes, and if no budget already exists, one is created. Committing the budget also affects the status.

Depending on configuration, the Commit check box in the Add/Edit/Delete Assignment subtask will be either selected or clear by default. If it is not selected, the budget must be committed from the individual project budgets.

During processing, budgets are updated according to the following rules:

If no budget exists, a new Working Budget is created. If the Commit check box was selected, an Incomplete Budget is created.
If a Working Budget/EAC exists, it is updated. If the Commit check box was selected, an Incomplete Budget with same version number is created.
If an Incomplete Budget/EAC exists, it is updated. If the Commit check box was selected, an Incomplete Budget with same version number is created. Budget & Planning first creates a Working Budget to add the entry, and if Commit is selected, it then creates a budget with a status of Incomplete with the same version number.
If a Complete Budget/EAC exists and the Commit check box was selected, an Incomplete Budget/EAC is created. If the Commit check box was clear, a new Working budget/EAC is created with the same version number.
If an Approved Budget/EAC exists and the Commit check box was selected, a new Working Budget/EAC is created. If the Commit check box was clear, a new Working budget/EAC is created with the same version number.
