The system will show you all the projects if you don't enter any search criteria. If your organization has configured to make any field mandatory for search, you must enter those fields to search projects.
The application will fetch all the server data and take you to the search result screen. The search result screen looks a bit different on desktop and mobile devices.

If you click on the create a new button, the system will open a simple step form to create a new project. You can click on the detail right bottom to view all the fields available for the object.

You can also click the expand icon against any item on the search result screen to view the project header details, name, description, revision number, etc.

The system will fetch all the selected document detail line data. The document details are shown either on the search result screen or on a separate screen, depending on the device size.

Project Name: Enter a name for the project. The project name is a mandatory field.

Complete Percentage: You can use the percentage field to maintain a high-level completion of all the tasks at the project level. The completion percentage is not a mandatory field. However, if you want to generate invoices based on the project completion percentage, you need to maintain percentage completion.

Current Phase: You can maintain the status of all tasks individually. You can also maintain the status of the project as a whole. Thus, the current phase is not a mandatory field and can be used for reporting purposes.

Bu Org Select the business organization to which the project belongs. Business Organization is a mandatory field; you can not change it once the project is created. All projects must belong to a business organization. All cost and revenue transactions are created under the business organization.

Scroll left, right, up, and down to view all the details. The document line and details are shown in a separate tab. The default configuration shows fields in various functional groups, such as

  • Finance
  • Entity
  • Reference
  • Data
  • Control
  • Etc

You can configure the application to show which fields should be shown under which group. You can also create new groups as per your business requirements.

Project Type: Project type is a mandatory field. Select an appropriate project type from the list.

  • Contract: Projects that are created for external customer
  • Capital: Projects that are created for internal purposes, and the completion of the project results in a fixed asset.
