ASSIGN PLC TO VENDOR WORK FORCE

Use this screen to assign Project Labor Categories (PLCs) to each vendor who is a member of the project vendor work force for a specific project. You must first set up the work force in the Project Vendor Work Force screen (Projects » Project Setup » Project Labor). You must also set up PLCs in the Set Up Project Labor Categories (PLC) screen (Projects » Project Setup » Project Labor).

Use this screen to assign PLCs to vendors of the project vendor work force. Once you have assigned the PLCs, you need to maintain this screen only when changes are required.

Project

Enter, or use to select, a valid project for which to enter data. You should enter the top level of the project in this field if you selected the Use Top Level Work Force check box in the Maintain Project Master screen (Projects » Project Setup » Project Master). If you did not select this check box, you should enter the transaction level in this field. This is a required field. The unlabeled field to the right displays the description of the project.

Defaults

Enter either Y (Yes) or N (No) in this column to indicate whether this PLC should default into the timesheet when this vendor works on this project. Since you can set up multiple PLCs for each vendor/project combination, you must specify which PLC should be the timesheet default.

One PLC must have a Y in this column for any given vendor/project combination. PLCs with an N will not default but will be available for when you are entering vendor timesheets. This field does not affect labor entered via journal entries, since no PLC defaults are offered for journal entries.
