Organization Structures
Top Level Organization
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Abbreviation |
If you plan to charge the top level of the organization, you have the option to specify an abbreviated code to simplify data entry. If you do, the abbreviation cannot be the same as any other abbreviation in your Costpoint database. When you enter the abbreviation on any of various transaction screens, Costpoint retrieves and displays the longer organization code. (This feature is not available on reporting and control screens, but it is available in most transaction screens.) |
| No of Levels |
This field automatically displays the number of levels as you define them in the table window below. |
| Balance Sheet Level |
Enter the level of the organization at which you will prepare balance sheets. Some posting programs use this when determining at which level a posting should occur. For example, accrued salaries are posted at the balance sheet level of the home organization of the employee. You cannot enter a level greater than the number of levels within the organization. |
| Active |
You cannot charge inactive organizations during data entry or posting. Do not select this check box if you need to put this edit in place for the organization. If you inactivate the top level of an organization, that does not inactivate lower levels within that organization. However, it does inactivate any account/organization combinations that contain the inactive organization. |

Period Information
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Fiscal Year Start, Period Start, Fiscal Year End, Period End |
You only use the starting and ending fiscal years and periods for an organization that is valid only for a particular period of time. For example, if you decide to change your organizational structure at the end of fiscal year 2011, you specify the final period of 2011 as the ending period for the old structure elements and the first period of 2012 as the starting period for the new structure elements. When you set up an organization that you want to use immediately and continuously for the foreseeable future, leave these fields blank. |
Export Options
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Export to Time Collection |
If you select this check box, this organization is exported to Time & Expense when you run the Export Data to Deltek Time & Expense process. The organization is included in the UDT09_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.CSV file. This check box is enabled only if the Time Collection version is 5.x or higher, or the Deltek Expense version is 6.x or higher, in the Corporate Labor Settings subtask of the Configure Labor Settings screen. |
