Add Project to Sub Contract

Explanation

One or more projects can be used to execute/perform a sub contract and so it is possible to enter several projects on a contract but only one of them can be defined as the default project. If a project is added to an item, it is required to specify an activity for it. If you have selected the Activity Required check box in the Sub Contract/General tab, it will be required to specify a project activity for each item on the contract.

If a project and activity have been connected to the sub contract, an error message will be displayed when you attempt to modify or delete the default project activity sequence, and there are valuations which have been created which use this project activity sequence. Likewise, an error message will be displayed when connecting an Activity Sequence that has a status of Completed, Closed or Cancelled.

Prerequisites

• The sub contract header must exist.
• The sub contract and project(s) must be within the same company.

System Effects

• A project and an activity is added to the sub contract.

Procedure

1. Open the Sub Contract window and query (F3) for the necessary sub contract.
2. Click the Project tab and create a new record (F5).
3. In the Project ID field, enter the project. Use the List of Values to select from all existing projects in IFS/Project that belong to the same company as the sub contract (provided that you have access to these projects).
4. Select the Default Project check box if this is to be the default project for the sub contract. If projects exist on a sub contract, it is required to select one project as default. Therefore, if entering the first project on a sub contract, the Default Project check box must be selected before the record can be saved.
5. If required, enter an activity for the project and any relevant notes.
6. Save the information (F12).
