Understanding How to Generate Job and Billing Data to View Later

You can specify job and billing data selection in the Work with Project Status Inquiry program (P51X0200) and generate the results to view later or you can run the Submit Project Status Inquiry View program (R51X0300) to generate job and billing data that the system saves so that you can view it later.

When you run the Submit Project Status Inquiry View program, the system creates a record in the Project Status Inquiry Results Header table (F51X30) that includes information about the generated view, such as the user who created it, the date it was generated, and a view ID that the system assigns from the next numbering scheme for line 1 of system 51X. The system also saves the job and billing data to the Project Status Inquiry Worktable (F51X10).

You can run the Submit Project Status Inquiry Worktable (F51X10) View program as a scheduled job, from a menu option, or from the Batch Versions program (P98305W). You use Data Selection to specify the jobs from the Business Unit Master table (F0006) for which you generate records, and set processing options to specify additional processing criteria. After you run the process, you can access the saved records using the Work with Project Status Inquiry View program (P51X0310).

The Submit Project Status Inquiry View program does not generate a PDF report. Instead, you can view the Completion Status field in the Work with Project Status Inquiry View program to determine whether the process completed successfully or in error. If the process ended in error, you can view information about the errors in the Work Center.
