Chapter 1: Preliminaries

Introduction

Welcome to the Budgeting & Planning Client Validation and User Management Essentials Workshop. The focus of this instructor-led webinar is the process of comparing Deltek Costpoint information with the Budgeting & Planning comprehensive project and organizational cost reports. Participants will access reports essential to the validation process to ensure the Costpoint data is properly reflected in Budgeting & Planning. Job Summary Reports and T&M Reports are used to compare Budgeting & Planning project cost figures to corresponding accounting system reports. Profit & Loss by Account and Labor Analysis reports are compared to Budgeting & Planning organization cost figures and the corresponding accounting system reports. And finally Costpoint rate summary and statement of indirect cost reports are compared to Budgeting & Planning's pool and base figures. Step-by-step instructions are provided to assist in the validation process. This is a live, instructor-led webinar in which you can participate from any location—your home, office, or on the road—simply through your Internet browser.

The User Management workshop is designed to help the administrators in your company begin setting up B&P users as quickly as possible. It is recommended that at least 2 people train as User Management administrators to ensure user access is never in jeopardy.
