to select, a valid project for which
to enter data. This is a required field. Use this screen to enter information specific to government contracts. For commercial contracts, you should enter at least the Incurred Cost Submission Code, if you require this code for all projects, per your selection in the Project Settings screen (Projects » Project Setup » Controls). Certain processes within the system rely heavily upon the data entered here, and completion of this screen is required for all government contracts.
Since most government contracts are consistent in cascading key provisions throughout the entire project, regardless of the project level, the Allow Edit check box is applicable to almost every field on this screen. It is likely that no edit will be allowed for any project entered except for the top-level project. This means that you will probably enter data on this screen only once, at the top-level of a given project. For all lower project levels, you need only to save that same data (rather than re-enter it.) When you enter a record in this screen, the information saves to all lower levels of the project tree.
Use this screen as part of the project initialization, particularly if the project is the result of a government contract.
Enter, or use to select, a valid project for which
to enter data. This is a required field.
This non-editable field displays a description of the project selected. This is a required field.
Enter a funding source if the project entered is a top-level. This funding source can be a government agency, a client, or any type of source you want to define.
If the project entered is not a top-level, the default value of the funding source from the top-level project will be displayed. If you select the Allow Edit check box at the top-level, you can enter any funding source. However, if the Allow Edit check box is not selected, you cannot change the default top-level funding source.
These check boxes are displayed at all levels of a project and control the ability to change the selection of certain key information about the project. At the top-level of a project, you can specify whether the information entered at that level (the top) must be the same at all lower levels, or if it can be changed anywhere in the project structure. The default value of Allow Edit is empty.
If you select the Allow Edit check box at the top-level, information shown next to the check box can be changed at any level in the project structure. The choice made at the top level will be the default, but changes are allowed. You can also set the Allow Edit check box to empty at lower project levels. This restricts edits at all lower levels.
If you do not select the Allow Edit check box at the top-level, information shown next to the check box cannot be changed at any other level in the project structure. This is a required field.

However, if the Allow Edit check box is cleared, you cannot change the default top-level From (Month/Day) date.

Enter the Defense Priorities and Allocation System (DPAS) rating for the project if the project entered is a top-level. This data is used by Costpoint Purchasing and should be entered only if it is applicable.
If the project entered is not a top-level, the default value of the DPAS rating from the top-level project will be displayed. If you selected the Allow Edit check box at the top-level, you can make an entry in any DPAS Purchasing Rating field. However, if you did not select the Allow Edit check box, you cannot change the default top-level DPAS rating.
Enter the agency ID if the project entered is a top-level number. If the project entered is not a top-level, the default value of the agency ID from the top-level project will be displayed. If you selected the Allow Edit check box at the top-level, you can make an entry in any Agency ID field. However, if you did not select the Allow Edit check box, you cannot change the default top-level agency ID.

B&P
COMM
COST
FIXD
FLEX
IR&D
T&M
TM/F
If the project entered is not top-level, the default value of the code from the top-level project will be displayed. If you selected the Allow Edit check box at the top-level, you can select any code. However, if you did not select the Allow Edit check box, you cannot change the default top-level code.
The drop-down list displays the categories of projects contained on Schedule H of the Incurred Cost Submission. If the Require Incurred Cost Submission Code for All Projects check box on the Project Settings screen (Projects » Project Setup » Controls) is selected, this field is required for all projects. All projects, including those other than government contracts, must be shown on the Incurred Cost Submission.
If the Require Incurred Cost Submission Code for All Projects check box is not selected, this field is not required.
Select this check box if Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) are applicable to the project selected.
Select this check box if the project entered is a top-level. If the project entered is not a top-level, the default value of the selection from the top-level project will display. If you selected the Allow Edit check box at the top-level, you can make any selection. However, if you did not select the Allow Edit check box, you cannot change the default top-level selection.
If you select this check box, this project will be included in the aggregate volume funding computation. The volume of business is based on total funded value by customer. The system determines which projects have the Include in Aggregate Volume check box selected in this screen and then retrieves projects with the same customer from the PROJ table. Then it sums the total amount funded for that customer to determine what aggregate volume of business must be used to determine the discount percentage that needs to apply. The default for this check box is empty.
If your discount method is Aggregate Volume by Customer or Aggregate Volume by Customer w/Burden, the Calculate Billings screen (Projects » Billing » Calculate Billings) and the Compute Revenue screen (Projects » Cost and Revenue Processing » Revenue Processing) compute discounts based on aggregate volume using the discount percentage from the Maintain Customer Volume Discounts screen (Projects » Billing » Billing Master). If your discount method is Aggregate Volume by Project or Aggregate Volume by Project w/Burden, they use the discount percentage from the Maintain Project Volume Discounts screen (Projects » Billing » Billing Master).
Select the Allow Edit check box to enable edits of this flag at this project's lower level tasks.
Select this check box to use the project PLC code for wage determination reporting. If you do not select this check box, the GLC will be used for any wage determination reporting instead. The default is empty. You can set up wage determination information in Costpoint Labor.
