Functional Groups Tab of Fee Estimate Service Profiles

Use the Functional Groups tab to specify the functional groups that apply to each service profile. This makes it possible for you to create sets of functional groups that meet the particular needs of each service profile.

Contents

The fee basis (chargeable cost) will be entered by the functional group in the fee estimate, and the functional group could be part of a new project's Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) when created from a fee estimate.

The functional groups that are assigned to that service profile are available in the Functional Group drop-down list in the Opportunity Info Center. When a user creates a fee estimate in the Opportunity Info Center and in the Project Fee Estimate application in Accounting, they must select a service profile. This dictates the functional groups that are available for selection when building a fee estimate, and ensures that the appropriate functional groups are matched with their respective service profiles.
