| # Business Partner by Project (tppdm6101s000) Use this session to maintain data on the business partners for whom a project is executed. In Project, the business partner currency rate is used for all invoice transactions. The rate default is retrieved from the invoice-to business partner. Contract amounts If you work with subcontract amounts, the business partner amount is aggregated from the subamounts. Each amount is displayed in the currency of the business partner. The business partner currency rate is also used together with its exchange rate type, to calculate the contract amounts in the project currency for use in Project Progress. However, for internal project calculations (costs), the project currency entered in the Projects (tppdm6500m000) session is used. The amount approved for invoicing is displayed next to the Ceiling check box. For the Unit Rate invoicing method, the amount is updated while transferring transactions from the Project Invoicing module to Central Invoicing. For Cost Plus invoicing method, the amount is updated when the transactions are approved for invoicing. If an extension is linked to the project, the amount is updated in the Extension (tpptc0110s000) session.

ERP LN retrieves the default tax classification from the invoice-from and invoice-to business partners. For example, you can use the tax classification to indicate: That payments to an invoice-from business partner are subject to withholding tax and social contributions To group business partners that have the same tax aspects for your company, for example, subcontractors, or agents That the tax must be paid in a country other than the sales office or service office's home country Exempt If this check box is selected, the tax code represents a tax exemption.
