IWO PROJECT SETUP

Use this screen to set up projects that will be transferred during the IWO process.

These projects must pre-exist as valid projects in the sending database before they are available for in this screen. The projects must be set up as billable projects so the detailed transaction data can be added to the open billing detail table. You must also set the Project Classification to INTER-COMPANY in the Maintain Project Master screen (Projects » Project Setup » Project Master). Also, you must create a record in the Project Billing Info screen (Projects » Billing » Billing Master) for these projects.

Costpoint uses these criteria to limit the records when you select a valid IWO project. If you want revenue recognized for these projects, you must set up the Basic Revenue Info screen (Projects » Project Setup » Revenue Setup), and a revenue account must exist in the project account group of the project.  If you want costs transferred, you do not need to create revenue record, but you must set up a cost transfer account and include it in the project account group.

This screen is the third step in the IWO process.

Project

Enter, or use to select, the project that will be transferred. The projects available for are those set up with a Project Classification of INTER-COMPANY in the Maintain Project Master screen (Projects » Project Setup » Project Master). In addition, the project must contain Project Billing Info screen (Projects » Billing » Billing Master or Projects » Project Setup » Revenue Setup) information. The field to the right will display the project description.

Location

Enter, or use to select, the transfer location. These locations were originally created in the Maintain Transfer Locations screen.

Currency

This non-editable field displays the currency that is associated with the locations entered. The location and the related currency were set up in the Maintain Transfer Locations screen. 

Expense Mapping

Use the drop-down list to select the expense mapping. Create these locations in the IWO Expense Mapping screen.

Labor Transfer

Use this group box to select the type of labor transfer you would like to make.

If you are transferring data within the same database and to the same company, you will be able to select the As Charged or the To Single Employee options.  The As Subcontractor and Automatically Set Up Subcontractors options will be disabled.  

If you are working with the same database but are transferring data to a different company within that database, you will be able to select the As Subcontractor or To Single Employee options.  The As Charged option will be unavailable.  This selection is not available because the same employee/vendor cannot exist within the same database even if it is for a different company. 

If you are planning to use two different databases from different companies, all options will be available.  

As Charged

Select this option to transfer everything including employee/vendor ID, GLC, and PLC to the new project as it was originally charged. It is available only if you are transferring data from one database to an external database or within the same company and database. The receiving database must contain the employee/vendor ID, PLC and GLC in the tables.  If you select this option and are transferring to an external database, you will need to set up the employee and/or vendor information in the destination database.  If you are transferring within the same company and database, this will not be necessary.

To Single Employee

Select this option to transfer all labor costs to one employee. This indicates that you do not want to transfer labor detail at the employee level. Because the employee ID (EMPL_ID) must exist in the receiving database, you can create a "dummy" employee to receive all labor records. This selection is available whether you are transferring within the same company and database, transferring to an external database in the same company, or transferring to a different company within the same database.

As Subcontractors

Use this option to transfer labor costs as subcontractor costs.  If you also select the Automatically Set Up Subcontractors check box, you can have the vendor employees automatically set up when the IWO is posted.  If you do not select that option, you will have to manually enter the vendor employees in the destination database. This option is available whether you are transferring to a different company within the same database or to a different company in a different database.  It is unavailable when you are transferring data within the same database and company.  

Employee ID

If you selected the To Single Employee option, enter, or use   to select, the employee ID that will receive all the labor costs.

Name

If you selected the To Single Employee option and entered an ID in the Employee ID field, this field will display the employee name.

Automatically Set Up Subcontractors

Select this check box to set up subcontractors automatically during the Post IWO process.  This option is available whether you are transferring data within the same database to a different company or to an external database that is a different company. 

Record

Unbilled Receivable

Select this option if you want the IWO journal to credit an unbilled account. This project will recognize revenue.

Cost Transfer

Select this option if you want the IWO journal to credit the cost transfer account. This project will not recognize revenue.

Validate Posting Accounts

Select this check box to have every entry validated for account, organization, and project, according to your Costpoint settings. You will usually select this check box when making transfers within the same database.

Table Window

Use this table window to identify the project account and org for each transaction type.

Transaction Type

This non-editable field displays the transaction type. The transaction types available are: destination project inter-company receivable and inter-company payable.

Project

Enter, or use to select, the project that you wish to associate with the destination project inter-company receivable or inter-company payable.

Account

Enter, or use to select, the account that you wish to associate with the destination project inter-company receivable or inter-company payable.
