Accounting fixed price and ressource related billing in the same project

[Former Member]

Hello community,

I am using the hierarchical accounting with PS and would like to have a project with two phases. The first phase could be something like an concept with a fixed priced. The other phase is ressource related. How would you do this in cProjects -> PS?

Thx, Max

Hi

Assumed you have integrated PS with cProjects...

Do not assign any role and work hours for Phase 1 tasks

for this Phase, Automatically PS project and all WBS will be created if you have mentioned level more than 2 in Config

For phase 2 you have tasks for which assign Roles (BPs) so cost can be calculated.

Hello Niranjan, thanks for the answer. This way looks a little bit out of the normal projectmanagement-process. Are there other possibilities to handle this?

thx, Max

HI ,

If you are working in integrated PS with cProjects

Phase in C project treated as WBS in PS

then for fix priced go to WBS in basic data phase right side you will find the operative indicators there you find the three indicators

--> Planning Element

If the Planning element indicator has been set in Create/change plan profile, you can only plan costs on those WBS elements that have been designated planning elements.

--> Billing Element

If you want to maintain a billing plan for a WBS element, you must set this indicator. If you have maintained a billing plan for the WBS element, you cannot change this indicator

--> Acct Asst.Element

If you set this indicator, the WBS element will be defined as an account assignment element

The first phase could be something like an concept with a fixed priced.--> use last option

The other phase is ressource related i.e. billing --> use second option.

if you make these change in PS module it will reflect in Cproject aslo.

thanks
