MICROFRAME RESOURCE MAPPINGS

Use this screen to map Deltek Costpoint values to Microframe resource codes.  Costpoint values that can be mapped include account, vendor, employee, and labor category. You must complete this screen before transferring data to Microframe by resource.

Mapping ID

Enter a code to identify this particular mapping table. This can refer to a specific project or to a group of projects.

Description

Enter a description for this particular mapping table.

Set Resource to CP Value

Select this checkbox to have the Costpoint values used as the Microframe resource. For example, if employee IDs are identical in Costpoint and Microframe, the employee ID could be used because it exists in Costpoint.

Note: Some items and combinations of items may be larger than the Microframe resource field. These items will be truncated when automatically loaded. MPM limits resource codes to 10 characters.  Please review all codes that are loaded automatically.

Labor By

Use this drop-down box to identify the level at which labor amounts should be transferred to Microframe. Valid options are "Employee," "Labor Category," "Employee - Labor Category," and "Labor Category - Employee."

ODC's By

Use this drop-down box to select the level at which ODC amounts should be transferred to Microframe. Valid options are "Vendor," "Account," "Vendor - Account," and "Account -Vendor."

Load Values

Select this pushbutton to automatically load the mapping table. If the mapping table is empty, it will be populated based on the values of Labor By, ODC's By, and Set Resource to CP Value. If the table already has rows in it, these rows will be displayed along with any unmapped rows.

Note: You cannot change the Labor By and ODC's By drop-down boxes after selecting the Load Values pushbutton and saving the data. If an error was made during the selection and a change is required to either of these options, select the New button on the toolbar to start again.

Set Resource

If the Set Resource to CP Value checkbox is selected, use the Set Resource pushbutton to have the application scan the table for rows where the Resource column is empty. In these rows, the Resource column will be set to the value in the CP Value column, without the period delimiter ("."). For example, if the CP Value column is "DWORKIN.QC" and Resource is empty, Resource will be set to "DWORKINQC."

Table Window

Line Type

When entering lines manually, identify the type of line being entered. Valid options are:

Line type is necessary for proper validation.

CP Value

Enter the Costpoint value to be mapped. (Lookup will be available based on the value entered in the Line Type column.) Separate combinations of values by a period (".").

If you enter a combination in the Line Type column (e.g., "EP") and you use Lookup to find a CP value, you will first see a list of values corresponding to the first letter of your Line Type.  After you make a selection, Lookup will load a second list corresponding to the second letter of your Line Type. For example, if the Line Type is "EP," Lookup will first retrieve a list of employees. After you select an employee, a list of project labor categories will be presented.  When you make your second selection, the period separating the two values is added automatically.

Suppose you want to change the second value, but not the first, in a column that is already populated. Use Lookup to view a list of values corresponding to the first letter of your Line Type and select the Cancel pushbutton to leave the existing value unchanged. Lookup will load the values for the second letter of your Line Type, and you can now change it. For example, if your Line Type is "EP" and the CP Value is "DWORKIN.QC," use Lookup to see a list of employees. Then select the Cancel pushbutton. Now a list of project labor categories will be displayed. Select a value to replace the "QC" portion of the original. For example, if you select "RT," the resulting CP Value will be "DWORKIN.RT."

Resource

Enter the Microframe resource, up to 10 characters, to be associated with the value entered in the CP Value column.
