| # Business Partner by Project (tppdm7140m000) 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. Note Use the Maps section to view the location of the Invoice-to Address. You must select only one record at a time . 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 (tppdm6100m000) 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 when the transactions are transferred from Project to Invoicing. For the 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.
