Options to Change Project and Task Organizations

A project manager or the project administrator who is the project creator, with access to the relevant business and project units, can change a project and task organization.

You can make the changes in the following ways:

  • When no billing events exist, use the organization field on the Manage Financial Project Settings page.

  • If billing events exist, create a batch for the projects and tasks on the Manage Project and Task Organizations page.

Without Transactions

Change a project organization from the Basic Information section of the General tab on the Manage Financial Project Settings page only when the project has no billing events. Change the organization for individual tasks from the Manage Financial Project Plan page.

Example

Following is an example when you can change the project and task organization, when there are no billing events, using the Manage Financial Project Settings page.
