Controlling Incoming Transactions
You can control the entry of transactions into Project Costing by using the processing status or status control options.
This topic discusses:
You can control incoming transactions at the project or activity level. Projects and activities that have an inactive processing status do not appear in the prompt lists of PeopleSoft cost feeder systems. Inactivating a project or activity effectively shuts off the flow of all transactions to Project Costing for that particular project or activity.
Use the Project Definitions - Status page to select a project status that is associated with the desired processing status.
Use the Activity Definitions - General Information page to modify the activity processing status.
You can use status control options to selectively control specified transactions based on analysis types and effective dates. By using status control options, you can stop transactions from a feeder system or the Add Transactions component (INTFC_PROJ_EXPRESS) if a project or activity status changes on the Project Definitions - Status page or Activity Definitions - Status page.
For example, assume that you set up the Hold status and associate a Reject project control action with an ACT analysis type. Then you change the status of the TRAINING project to Hold. The system will prevent further transactions from entering Project Costing with an ACT analysis type for the TRAINING project.
To control transactions using status control options:
Select the Enable Status Control option on the Installation Options - Project Costing Integration page.
Select the analysis type and control action in the Status Control group box on the Status Types page.
Change the status of the project or activity on the Project Definitions - Status page or Activity Definitions - Status page.
You can further define the option by using an effective date.
