Defining Application Mappings

Use the application mappings to specify the application period mappings for the Project Management budgets export target application. The mappings that you create here apply only to an individual Project Management export target application. If no application mappings are selected for the export target application, the system uses the global mappings defined for periods in global mappings.

Note:

In Project Management, Accounting Calendar of 12 periods which include monthly, 4-4-5, 5-4-4, and 4-5-4 are supported. The 4-4-4 Accounting Calendar is not supported.

To create period mappings for an application:

  1. Launch Data Management.
  2. On the Setup tab, under Integration Setup, select Period Mapping.
  3. Select the Application Mapping tab.
  4. In Target Application, select the target application project budgets export target application for which to add or modify an application period mapping.

    If you use multiple integration jobs for example, when using multiple calendars, you must select the name of the project budgets export target application created in the initialization and then specify the period mapping. For example, if you have a unique calendar set up for the "45_Project Budgets Export" integration, select this name from the Target Application drop-down as shown below.

  5. Click Add.

    The Search and Select: Period Key page is displayed. This page lists all the global mapping periods not used in the application mappings for the project budgets export target application.

  6. Select the Project Management period to add and click OK.
    For example, you might select Jan-20.
  7. On the Application tab, select the Period Key for the period that you selected in step 6.
  8. In Period Name, enter the period name that corresponds to the Project Management period if you are overriding the period name defined for the period in global mappings. Otherwise, the system uses the period name defined for the period in global mappings.

    For example, if the period name is shown as Jan-20 in Data Management, you can change it to January-20 if this is how the name has been defined in Project Management.

  9. Enter a target period month in Target Period Month.
    The target period month is a required entry for all Data Management application mappings, but it does not affect the period name used in the export to Project Management.
  10. Click Save.
