Project Costing-Contracts Interface Process (BIPCC000)

Run the Project Costing-Contracts Interface process after you run the Billing Finalization process. The Project Costing-Contracts process updates the Contracts-Billing Cross-reference table and the Project Transaction table with the finalized bill information from PeopleSoft Billing.

Note:

Rate-based row amounts are subject to change throughout the billing process. For this reason, the system sends the rate-based rows and their final invoice amounts to the Contracts-Billing Cross-reference table only when you run the Project Costing-Contracts Interface process.

All rate-based rows and their associated discounts and retainages are written to the Project Transaction Temporary Billing table. The process includes rows with these analysis types:

• Billing adjustment (BAJ)

• Billable amount (BIL)

• Billing retainage (BRT)

• Billing discount (DSC)

• Released retainage adjustment (RAJ)

• Released billing retainage (RRT)

The Contracts-Billing Interface process inserts fixed-amount bill rows into the Contracts-Billing Cross-reference table. This is because fixed-amount rows are not modifiable; you can only accept or delete them. The system updates the bill row status throughout the Billing Interface process, worksheet cancellation or acceptance, and the Billing Finalization process. Fixed-amount rows that specify a project are sent to PeopleSoft Project Costing with an analysis type of FBD (fixed cost billed amount).

The PeopleSoft Billing: Running the Billing to Project Costing/Contracts Interface Process (BIPCC000) topic discusses the fields that the Billing Finalization process updates in PeopleSoft Contracts.

Note:

Although only certain project activities pertain to particular contract lines, the system does not store project activities in the Contracts-Billing Cross-reference table. Activities are summarized by project and billing currency.
