Account Ranges

You can specify that the alerts apply to specific account ranges. You set up the account ranges in the Project Status Inquiry Account Range program (P51X100), and then specify the account range name when you set up the visual alert column. For example, suppose that you want to have an alert icon appear when overtime costs exceed a specific amount. You could set up an account range name in the Project Status Inquiry Account Range program that includes all of the accounts that you use for overtime pay. If the accounts are not contiguous, you can specify multiple account ranges for one account range name. You would then specify the account range name when you set up the visual alert column for overtime exceptions.

You can also specify account ranges on the Work with Project Status Inquiry form. If you specify an account range on the Work with Project Status Inquiry form, the system accumulates and displays records for only the included accounts, so the system can display visual alerts for only the accounts specified.

For example, if you set up a visual alert column with an account range of 5000 to 5999 and specify an account range in the Work with Project Status Inquiry for 5600–5999, then the system does not display visual alerts for accounts 5000–5599 because those records were excluded from the processed dataset.
