Maintenance Management Tools Usage Process

Tools usage rows are eligible to be priced by the Maintenance Management Tools Usage process if they:

  • Are created from actual tools usage entries.

  • Have a PC distribution status of N (not distributed), which indicates that the transaction row has not been previously integrated to PeopleSoft Project Costing.

  • Meet all run control options.

Run the Maintenance Management Tools Usage process in PeopleSoft Project Costing to price eligible tools usage transactions for costing or billing. At a high-level, the Maintenance Management Tools Usage process completes these steps:

  1. Selects eligible rows to process from the Tools Distribution Lines table (WM_WO_DIST_TLS) and updates the PC distribution status (PC_DISTRIB_STATUS) of each row to H (Hold).

  2. Stamps all retrieved rows with the analysis type that is specified in the Maintenance Management Tools Usage field (AN_TYPE_WM_TU) on the Installation Options - Project Costing Integration page.

    An analysis type of Tools Usage (TUG) is delivered as system data for SetID SHARE for use in pricing PeopleSoft Maintenance Management tools usage costs.

  3. Stamps all retrieved rows in the temp table with these values:

    • Billing distribution status (BI_DISTRIB_STATUS) = N (not distributed).

    • General ledger distribution status (GL_DISTRIB_STATUS) = I (ignore).

    • Cost distribution status (CST_DISTRIB_STATUS ) = N.

    • Revenue distribution status (REV_DISTRIB_STATUS) = N.

    • System source (SYSTEM_SOURCE) = WM.

  4. Validates the open period accounting date on the retrieved rows.

  5. Triggers the Pricing Application Engine process (PC_PRICING) to price the rows.

  6. Inserts priced rows in the Project Transaction table (PROJ_RESOURCE).

  7. Updates the Tools Distribution Lines table in PeopleSoft Maintenance Management with a PC distribution status of D (distributed) for each priced row.
