Use this drop-down list to specify whether or not a project is required. Valid values are:
Required — A project is required for the account/organization. The specified project is used for sales orders using this sales group abbreviation. The specified accounts must be set up on the Manage Accounts screen in the General Ledger module with the Project Required check box selected.
Non-Contract Related — The account/organization is not contract-related, and you should not enter a project.
Substitution Allowed — The sales group abbreviation allows for project substitution. You must leave the Project column blank; you need to enter a project to charge on individual sales orders during sales order entry. The specified accounts must be set up on the Manage Accounts screen with the Project Required check box selected.
Costpoint validates all project, account, and organization links entered against the Project Required value on this screen. For example, if you set this field to Non-Contract Related, the account entered for the account type must not be established as a Project Required account on the Manage Accounts screen. If the sales and other related accounts are consistent across all tasks of a particular project, or even across all projects, the Project Required check box on the Manage Accounts screen can be selected as substitution allowed. You can then set up the sales group abbreviation as a default value in a product catalog or for an item within a CLIN.
