Modifications Subtask

Use this subtask of the Manage Alternate Project Revenue Profiles screen to override the production values of the modifications for signed and funded values of the project.

You can also mark existing records for deletion, add new modifications to the project, and move modifications up or down a project tree.

Override values will be used only in the alternate database and will not replace the values in the production database. Removal and addition of records will also occur only in the alternate database.

You cannot edit the Production Value fields on this subtask. You can only modify the Alternate Profile Override fields, but these are not required. You should enter values in the Alternate Profile Override fields only when they are different from the production values and for new records.

Modification

This table includes information about Modification settings.

Field Description
Modification ID

This field displays the modification ID.

For new records, enter the alternate profile modification ID in this field or leave it blank for auto-numbering. In auto-numbering, Costpoint provides a default of the last modification number for the project plus one.

Description

This field displays the description of the modification number.

For new records, enter, or click to select, the alternate profile description of the modification. If the Validate Modification Descriptions check box is not selected on the Configure Project Settings screen, you can enter any description in this field. If this check box is selected, you can enter or select only modification descriptions that are set up and marked as Active on the Manage Modification Descriptions screen.

Even if the validation is turned on and the description does not exist in Manage Modification Descriptions, Costpoint retains any description used on previously saved records as long as the description itself is not edited on a record. Once you edited that description with the validation in place, you will not be able to save the record unless you select a replacement description that exists in Manage Modification Descriptions.

Note: If validation is on, make sure that you enter a description exactly as how it appears in Manage Modification Descriptions, including the case used. For example, if INITIAL exists and is marked Active in Manage Modification Descriptions and you enter Initial in this field, Costpoint considers this as invalid and displays an error message.
Effective Date

This field displays the effective date or date on which the modification was issued for the project.

For new records, the value in this field depends on the selected option in the Modifications Effective Date group box on the Configure Project Settings screen:

  • If Default System Date is selected, the current date defaults in this field, but can be modified.
  • If User Must Enter Date is selected, this field is blank. You must enter, or click to select, a date before you can save the record.

Costpoint uses this date in determining ceiling amounts when Compute Revenue is run.
