Setting Up Common Financial Task Dates

Setting up common financial task dates between work plans and financial plans:

Enables better collaboration between the project manager and the project administrator by providing the same and consistent task schedule. For example, project administrator's updates in financial tasks are automatically available for the project manager’s review in the work plan.
Validates the dates in real time in managing project plans. For example, when the transaction and planned dates are synced, you can only change the task planned dates to the dates valid for the task’s expenditure items.

To ensure that task dates are the same across work planning and financial planning, regardless of in which of the two plans the dates are updated, complete the following steps:

Click Navigator > My Enterprise > Setup and Maintenance.
On the top of the page from the Setup dropdown, select Project Execution Management and then search for the Manage Project Management Implementation Options task.
Click the Manage Project Management Implementation Options link.
On the Define Project Management Implementation Options page, in the Define Common Financial Task Dates section, select Define Common Financial Task Dates Across Work and Financial Planning.
Click Save and Close.

Note: For the plans existing at the time of enabling the Define Common Financial Task Dates Across Work and Financial Planning option, the project manager needs to once sync the dates manually between the two plans. For more information, see Automatically Sync Dates Between Financial Project Plans and Work Plans in the Using Project Execution Management guide.

Click Navigator > Setup and Maintenance, and search for the Manage Project Management Implementation Options task.
Click the Manage Project Management Implementation Options link.
On the Define Project Management Implementation Options page, in the Default Full Time Equivalent Hours section, enter hours.
