| PPC Parameters (tpppc0100s000) |  |
| Use this session to maintain parameters, including control periods and work in progress settings, for general use in the Project Progress module. You must define these parameters before you register costs and revenues elsewhere in the Project Progress module.

Fields | Description
Introduction Date | The introduction date.
Description | The date and time that the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting.

Costs and Commitments
Type of Hard Commitment |
Use Commitments as Basis for Forecast | This check box and the value of the Type of Hard Commitment field determine whether commitments are included in the costs while performing a cost forecast. Hard commitments are based on purchase receipts and soft commitments on purchase orders. Hard commitments can be regarded as actual costs, because only the purchase invoice must be received and processed. If this check box is selected, the value of the parameters is:
Type of hard commitment | Hard commitment included | Soft commitment included
--- | --- | ---
Costs | Yes | Yes
Commitments | Yes | Yes
If this check box is cleared, the value of the parameters is:
Type of hard commitment | Hard commitment included | Soft commitment included
--- | --- | ---
Costs | Yes | No
Commitments | No | No
Leading Forecast Method | Determines where you can manually enter your forecast. Example Your budget is one hundred euros, your actual costs are now sixty euros and you estimate your final budget will be a hundred-and-ten euros. EEC: final budget - budget = 110 - 100 = 10 EAC: estimated final budget ETC: final budget - actual costs = 110 - 60 = 50 Related topics Leading Forecast Method
Cost Component for Cost Plus Invoicing from Revenue | If this check box is selected, the cost component that you linked to the revenue code is used for the revenue transactions. This enables you to define an integration mapping scheme for revenue-based cost components. Note If this check box is cleared, the project cost component is used as the cost component for revenue transactions. The actual revenue cost component code is ignored.
Description | The description or name of the code.
Physical Progress
Physical Progress > 100% Allowed | If this check box is selected, you can enter a progress more than 100%. In other words, in this situation the actual quantity can exceed the budgeted quantity. If this check box is cleared, the actual quantity cannot exceed the budgeted quantity, the maximum percentage remains 100% .
Physical Progress Labor based on Hours | If this check box is selected, progress is based on the budgeted number of hours. Otherwise, progress is based on the budgeted number of units.
Convert to Unit of Control Code | If this check box is selected, the quantities of cost objects are converted to the unit of the corresponding control code when you register progress and monitor projects.
Additional Information
Additional Tax Info | Data that is used in addition to the import/export data and that can be linked to order types. Note This data is required by some European Union member states.
Additional Info Set | Data that is used in addition to the import/export data and that can be liked to order types. Note This data is required by some European Union member states.
Service Integration
Default Employee | The default employee code to which the cost is aggregated in Project when the service order is manually linked to the project.
Default Labor Code | The default cost object code to which the cost is aggregated in Project when the service order is manually linked to the project.
Control Period
Code Period Table for Cost Control Period | The default period code to be used for the cost-control periods. Choose a period with the Gaps Allowed between Years check box cleared, because Project does not work with this option. The actual cost-control period consists of the default period code value and the values from the Period for Actual Cost Control field. This actual cost control period is used as the default cost-control period for processing transactions. This field must be filled with a code before you start the project and must not be modified while projects are being run. If the Period table is changed, you will miss all the cost information and revenue information that pertains to a certain period of the former Period table.
Period for Actual Cost Control | The year for the actual cost-control period. You must define this period in the Periods (tcccp0170m000) session. This value is shown as a default value on the cost control print reports and in the Build Actual Cost Control (tpppc4803m000) session.
Period for Actual Cost Control | The year for the actual cost-control period. You must define this period in the Periods (tcccp0170m000) session. This value is shown as a default value on the cost control print reports and in the Build Actual Cost Control (tpppc4803m000) session.
Start Date/Finish Date | The dates on which the hours control period starts and ends. These dates are determined from the Period for Actual Hours Control field.
/ | The dates on which the cost-control period starts and ends. These dates are determined from the Period for Actual Hours Control field.
Code Period Table for Hours Control Period | The default period code to be used for the hours control period. The actual hours control period consists of the default period code value and the values from the Period for Actual Hours Control field. This default period code value is used as the default hours control period for processing costs. This field must be filled with a code before you start the project and must not be modified during the execution of projects. If the Period table is changed then you will miss all the cost and revenue information pertaining to a certain period of the former Period table.
Period for Actual Hours Control | The year number that, together with the period number, identifies the actual hours control period. The year and period is shown as a default value on hours control print reports. The hours control period is used as hours are mostly entered in a period different from the current period.
Period for Actual Hours Control | The year number that, together with the period number, identifies the actual hours control period. The year and period is shown as a default value on hours control print reports.
Fiscal Period | If this check box is selected, the cost-control period and the fiscal period are assumed to be the same. In this case, the period code, cost-control year, and cost-control period must be defined in Financials.
Code Period Table for Fiscal Period | The code period table to be used for the fiscal period. If the Cost Control Period = Fiscal Period check box is selected, the Code Period Table for Fiscal Period field is completed with the value of the Code Period Table for Cost Control Period field. Otherwise, a different code period table can be used. This field must be filled with a code before you start your project and must not be modified while projects run. If the Period table is changed, you will miss all the cost information and revenue information that pertains to a certain period of the former Period table.
Work in Progress
Contract Amount in WIP | Indicates how, if at all, the contract amount is a factor in calculating the work in progress.
Costs in WIP | Indicates how, if at all, costs are a factor in calculating the work in progress.
Project Inventory in Costs | If this check box is selected, history postings of type Hard Commitment (Wareh.) are included in the commitments in Cost Control.
Commitments in WIP | If this check box is selected, commitments will be calculated as part of work in progress.
Sales Value Surcharge Costs in WIP | If this check box is selected, the cost amount that is part of WIP will be increased by the surcharge percentage as defined for the project in the WIP Sales Value Surcharge field of the Project (tppdm6100s000) session. This surcharge is applied to the costs and, if required, to the commitments. If this check box is cleared, the surcharge will not be considered.
Revenues in WIP | Indicates how, if at all, revenues are a factor in calculating work in process.
Interim Result in WIP | This field indicates if the interim result is a factor in calculating work in progress.
Extra WIP Entry in Finance | If this check box is selected, an invoice is posted to an interim account in Financials instead of directly to a work in process account.
