Prepost Work Task
Explanation
Use this activity to manually enter code part values to be used when financial
transactions are created. These values are validated against the code part values
in IFS/Accounting Rules. The code part values are later used to create financial
transactions for the work task. The preposting information overrides any values
created by posting control.
The procedure of setting the pre posting on a work task is according to following:
- If there is any pre posting defined for the actual object connected
to task (which can be Equipment Object, VIM or Linear Asset), those pre
posting values are copied to the work task. If the actual object does not
exist, and the task is connected to a PM Group, pre posting values are copied
from the PM Group (if they exist).
- If the work task is created from a Customer Order, pre posting code
part values of the customer order are copied to the work task.
- If a service contract line is connected to the work task, pre posting
code part values of the service contract line will overwrite existing code
parts on the work task pre posting.
- If a project activity is connected to the work task, the full pre posting
(all code part values) of the project activity line will overwrite code
part values on the work task pre posting. The project code part of the project
will overwrite code part value and not be possible to change.
- If the work order has pre posting when the work task is created, the
code part values are inherited to the work tasks pre posting. (Updating
the work order pre posting will not update the pre posting on exiting work
tasks).
- It is possible to manually update the existing pre posting at any time.
Prerequisites
Before the information is entered, the following must have been completed:
- The Override field in Posting Control
must display 'Allowed' for the specified posting types.
- The code part values, for example the cost center, must have been entered
in Code Part Values.
- The work task must exist.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, work task pre postings will be updated and
those code part values will be taken into account when generating transactions
related to the work task.
Note that pre postings of work tasks will not be copied to the purchase requisition
lines. Any pre postings defined on purchase requisition lines would only be
considered on work task accountings only if postings relevant to work task purchase
transactions are defined with the control type A10(copy from source).
