Unit Tables
Deltek stores units in unit tables. Use unit tables to organize and maintain your unit information.
You can create separate unit tables to group units by project, project type, and unit type. This makes it easier to find and use units when you process accounting and billing transactions. Each unit table can contain multiple units. You can set up two types of unit tables:
- Project-Specific: These unit tables are tied to a specific project record and must have the same number as the project record. If you use delimiters in your project number, you must include the delimiters when you specify the unit table's number. For example, you create project-specific unit table 992005.00 for project number 992005.00. If a project's number contains leading zeros, you must include the leading zeros when you specify the unit table's number. For example, you create project-specific unit table 00001.00 for project number 00001.00.
- Reference: You use the Unit Table field on the Accounting tab of the Projects hub form to associate these unit tables with one or more projects.
Your system administrator sets security (access) limitations on unit tables. The administrator can tailor your view so you can view or update only the unit tables you use in association with the projects you work on, rather than all unit tables in the Deltek database.
There are two types of access rights for unit tables:
- Record Level View access determines the unit tables that you can view in some Deltek applications.
- Record Level Update access determines the unit tables that are available to you from the Unit Table forms.
You must also have access to the Units hub menu option on the General tab of to access unit tables.
