| # Mapping of Service costs to Project To generate budget lines and to roll up service order costs to a project, links between the project and the service order are created on these levels: Cost type Cost object Activity Cost type mapping Service cost types are mapped to Project cost types in the following manner:
Service cost type | Project cost type
Material | Materials
Labor | Labor
Tooling | Equipment
Traveling | Sundry Costs
Subcontracting | Subcontracting
Help Desk | Sundry Costs
Other | Sundry Costs
Uptime | N/A
All | N/A
Freight | Sundry Costs
Quotation Invoice | N/A
Cost object mapping Based on the cost type, cost objects in Service can be mapped to cost objects in Project. Using the Project Cost Object Mapping with Service (tppdm6170m000) session, you can link each cost object in Project to one specific cost object in Service, and vice versa. Note Cost object mapping is project specific. If an item is used in Service, and it is expected to be used as cost object in Project also, either of the following must apply: The item exists in the Items - Project (tppdm0505m000) session and in the Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) session. A cost object mapping is in place. Activity- Reference Activity Every project has at least one activity and, optionally, some budget lines. A service order has at least one reference activity, which contains resources that serve as a template for the service order. Therefore, the reference activity (and frequency) in Service can be linked to a standard activity in Project. When the standard activity is used to create a project activity, the reference activity's resources are copied as well. This information is used when project budget lines and service orders are generated. Related topics Integration of Project with Service |
