Combine Records Tab of the Labor Codes Form (Key Conversions)

Use this tab to combine labor code records.

Action Bar

All the data that are associated with the labor code records that are combined using this tab are automatically updated across all applicable applications in Vantagepoint. If you have the Resource Planning module, any dependency relationships for the existing labor code are removed when you click Run or Schedule to combine labor code records.

Warning: If your company uses an on-premises deployment of Vantagepoint, Deltek strongly recommends that you create a backup copy of your database before running the utility. There is no way to undo this process without a backup database.

If your company has an on-premises deployment of Vantagepoint, your company manages your database backup. If your company has a cloud-based deployment of Vantagepoint, coordinate with Deltek about your database backup.

Combining Records Grid Column

Field	Description
Level	Select the labor code level in this column.
Existing Labor Code	Select a labor code record to be combined into the labor code record that is specified in the New Labor Code column. All the relevant data from the selected labor code record in this column is merged into the selected labor code record in the New Labor Code column. This drop-down list updates with labor codes that are based on the selected labor code level in the Level column. If this labor code has any dependency relationships, they are removed when the labor code records are combined.
Existing Labor Code Name	This column displays the labor code name of the selected labor code record in the Existing Labor Code column.
New Labor Code	Select the labor code record that will become the new merged labor code record. Data from the labor code record specified in the Existing Labor Code column is transferred to the labor code record that you specify in this column. If this New Labor Code has any dependency relationships, they are maintained when the labor code records are combined as long as they do not create any dependency relationships with the selected Existing Labor Code.
New Labor Code Name	This column displays the labor code name of the selected labor code record in the New Labor Code column.
