Contents of the Add Consultant Types Dialog Box

Use the fields and options on the dialog box to add one or more consultant type assignments to a project plan or to change the consultant type for an existing assignment.

For a given work breakdown structure (WBS) element in a plan, you cannot add multiple assignments for the same consultant type - vendor pair or multiple assignments for a single consultant type without an associated vendor.

Field Description
Consultant Type Select the consultant type in this field.

You can search by account number or by consultant type. Only active consultant types with accounts available to the project's company can be selected.

For a given work breakdown structure (WBS) element in a plan, you cannot have multiple assignments for the same consultant type - vendor pair or multiple assignments for the same consultant type without an associated vendor.

Account This field displays the account number associated with the consultant type you select.
Vendor Name If you also want to associate the planned amount for the consultant type with a specific vendor, select the vendor in this field.

Only firms designated as a vendor in the Firms hub are available for selection.

Vendor Number This field displays the firm number for the vendor you select.

If you upgraded to Deltek from Vision, a vendor could have both a vendor number and a firm number. In that case, this field displays the vendor number.

+ Add Consultant Type To select another consultant type that you want to add for the same WBS element, click + Add Consultant Type to display a new grid row.

This option only displays when you add a new assignment. It is not available when you reassign an existing assignment.

Reassign

This button displays when you use the dialog box to change the consultant type or vendor for a previously saved assignment. Click this button to replace the existing consultant type assignment with the assignment that you specified in this dialog box.

Deltek does the following:
  • Reassigns the planned amount to the consultant type and vendor that you selected.
  • Deletes the original assignment. (The original assignment is not deleted if an actual job-to-date (JTD) amount exists for that assignment, or if that assignment was saved as part of the plan baseline. In those cases, the planned amount is reassigned, but the original assignment remains in the plan with no planned amount.)
