| # Element (tpptc1100s000) Use this session to maintain an element for the selected project. Related topics To use elements Using an element structure Invoicing To use progress recording Project The code that uniquely identifies the project. Description The description or name of the code. Status The project status. Element The code that uniquely identifies the element. General and Control General Description The description or name of the code. Text If this check box is selected, a text is present. Search Key The search key. Unit The code that identifies unit of measure. Extension The code that uniquely identifies the extension. Start Date The planned start date and time for the execution of work with respect to the element. Related topics Entering a date Entering a time Finish Date The planned finish date for the execution of work with respect to the element. Related topics Entering a date Entering a time Budget Status The budget status of the element. Note If the status is Final and you add adjustments, you cannot change the status to Actual again. Control Physical Progress If this check box is selected, you can register progress for the element. If this check box is cleared, you can maintain the progress for the element at a lower level in the budget structure. Physical Progress Level The default level at which you want to register progress. Cost Control If this check box is selected, costs entered on the budget lines for this element are transferred with the element to the control budget. If this check box is cleared, the budget lines of the element are aggregated to the next higher level element which has been included in the budget structure as parent, and for which the cost control check box is selected. Note You can only maintain cost control for the element, if the element appears once in the budget structure. If the same element appears several times in the budget structure and the control budget check box is selected, LN gives a message and clears the check box. Work Authorization Status The work authorization status of the element. On Hold Date The date after which the work execution on the element must be suspended. Note The default value is the current date. The field is a display field. Reason Code The reason for holding the work execution of the element. The field is enabled only when the Work Authorization Status field is set to On Hold. Reason Code The description or name of the code. Fixed Assets Capital Element If this check box is selected, the element is assigned to a capital project. Note If an element is set to be capitalized, neither the child nor parent of the element can be capitalized. Asset Number The asset number. Note LN enables the asset number and extension fields only for projects of the type capital. Description The description or name of the code. Asset Extension The asset extension number. Details Invoicing Details Progress based Invoicing Indicates whether the element can be invoiced. Progress for Invoice The nature of the element. You can maintain this field only if the Invoice Method field in the Project (tppdm6100m000) session is Progress Invoice in combination with the Progress based Invoicing field in the current session: If this field is set to Yes and the element is indirect, progress is booked on the direct element above this element. If the element is direct, the progress is booked on this element. If the field is set to Project Physical Progress, and the element is indirect, the progress is rolled down to this element. If the field is set to No, no progress is rolled down or booked on this element. Group Indirect Work You can maintain this field only if the field Progr. Based Inv. is set to Project Phys. Progr. As a result, the Element Type field will become Indirect. This indicates the number of a group of costs that is related to indirect work. For each group you can add up the costs on the progress invoice. In this way, you can show the total of indirect work by group, which is sometimes demanded by a principal. The numbering of groups is free, but the groups are printed on the progress invoice in numeric order. Use Holdback If this check box is selected, you can use holdback for this element. To be Settled If this check box is selected, the cost of additional work (direct work) can be settled. This means that these costs are included in the progress invoice at a special settlement price. If this check box is cleared, the cost of additional work (direct work) cannot be settled. Note Additional costs can only be settled if the Progress for Invoice field is set to Direct in the current session, and the Invoice Type field is set to Progress Invoice in the Project (tppdm6100m000) session. Billable If this check box is selected, the element costs are billed to the customer. Budget Details Budget Quantity The budgeted number of elements. You need to enter a value only if you invoice by element. If the element is part of an element structure, LN performs calculations with the frequency recorded via the Element Relationship (tpptc1105s000) session. The frequency indicates the number of times the element appears in the project. Time Unit The time unit that is linked to the element. Production Rate The production rate expressed in quantities by time unit. Number of Time Units The number of time units. Physical Progress Quantity The value of this field is used for cost control; progress recording. If the invoice method is Unit Rate or Progress for the project, the progress quantity must be filled. This quantity is the expected quantity that times the sales price can be invoiced. For a Unit Rate method the actual quantity can differ from the estimated quantity. For the Progress method, the progress must be equal to the physical progress quantity to be able to invoice the work. Related topics To use progress recording Price Details Sales Price The business partner currency. Sales Price The unit sales price for the element. You can maintain this field only if the Invoice Type field in the Project (tppdm6100m000) session reads Progress Invoice or Unit Rate. Sales Price One of a company's base currencies in which LN registers and reports amounts. In a multicurrency system, up to three home currencies can be defined: The local currency Two reporting currencies Currency Rate/Rate Factor A charge or payment fixed according to a standard scale, for example, the currency rate of the transaction. Currency Rate/Rate Factor The factor by which the amount in the transaction currency or the invoice currency is divided before LN converts it to a home currency. A rate factor is often used for currencies that have a relatively low price, for example, Korean Won. Settlement Price The home currency for the cost amount. Settlement Price The unit price of additional work which may be charged during the progress invoicing procedure. This price may differ from the sales price for the budgeted work. The setlement price is printed under the heading additional work on the report in the Print Progress Invoice Specifications (tppin1410m000) session. You can enter a value in this field only if the To be Settled check box is selected. Settlement Price One of a company's base currencies in which LN registers and reports amounts.

Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Priority Supply Warehouse The warehouse that receives the deliveries for more than one project. The goods are sent from the priority supply warehouse to the project warehouse. The value is defaulted from the Priority Supply Warehouse field in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session. Note For a project, when an activity is performed at multiple locations, it is easier to transfer goods when the warehouse is also defined at the Activity/Element level. ERP uses the following search path to check inventory, when generating PRP orders: The inventory in the Priority Supply Warehouse defined in the Activity (tppss2100m000)/Element (tpptc1100s000) session. The inventory in the Priority Supply Warehouse defined in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session. Description The description or name of the code. Default Project Warehouse The unique project warehouse code for the element. Sort Argument The sort argument used for sorting elements in print reports. The sort argument used for sorting elements in print reports output by the following sessions: The Print Principal's Project-Control Report (tpppc4412m000) session The Print Project Manager's Project-Control Report (tpppc4413m000) session This default value is the value for the Sort Argument field in the Standard Element (tppdm0180s000) session. You can overwrite this value. Print Elements Starts the Print Elements (tpptc1400m000) session which prints details of the elements. |
