Contents of the Approve Projects from Templates Screen
Use the fields and options to configure the Approve Projects from Templates screen.
Table Window
All the fields from the Manage Project Master Data from Templates screen display in the Approve Projects from Templates screen.

Field | Description |
---|---|
Project |
This field displays the project number. |
Project Name |
This field displays the project name. |

Normally, you do not enter a project abbreviation unless the Allow Charging check box on the Manage Project Master Data from Templates screen is selected. |
Approved |
This field displays whether or not a project is approved. After you select a project's row and click the Approve button (or click the arrow to the right of and select Approve All Selected Projects), a check mark appears in the Approve check box to indicate that the project is approved. If you select a project that is already approved and click the Disapprove button (or click the arrow to the right of and select Disapprove All Selected Projects), the check mark is removed from the Approve check box, indicating that the project is not approved. |

Project Type |
This field displays the project type. Generally, project types include: Cost Reimbursable, Fixed Price, Time & Materials, and so on, but can be any type that you desire to track. No special processing is generated based on this type. Some reports (for example the Revenue Summary Report) can be sorted by project type. |
Project Classification |
This field displays the project's classification. System-defined classes of projects require separate treatment due to the varying requirements of each classification. Separate treatment may include using special processes to cost labor or materials, or may simply mean that each of the classifications can be sorted separately for reporting purposes. Available project classifications include:
The Project Status Report and the Revenue Summary Report can be sorted by project classification. |
Active |
This field displays whether the project is active for charging purposes. If the check box is selected, it is active. Projects are usually inactive if the work on them is complete. Do not use this check box to prevent charging at summary levels of the project. Use the Allow Charging check box to restrict data entry on certain project levels. |
Allow Charging |
This field displays whether or not charges are allowed on the project. If the check box is selected, valid charging combinations can be charged. Enable the Allow Charging check box for all levels of the projects where charging takes place. If the project level is not a transaction level or billing/revenue level, do not select the check box. When this check box is not selected, no charging is allowed regardless of the status of the project/account/org combinations. |
Use Top Level Workforce |
This field displays whether the project uses the top level of the project for work force validation. If the check box is selected, it uses the top level. This selection is available only for the top level of the project tree. |
Account Group |
This field displays the project's account group. The account group determines the "set" of accounts that can be attached to the project. Only accounts belonging to the account group selected can be charged to this project. Account groups are set up on the Manage Project Account Groups screen. Because the account group controls how many of the functions work in the revenue and billing computations, view the account groups as permanent after charging has started. Make changes only when absolutely necessary. |
