Overview
Use the project management and accounting module to plan, create, manage,
control, and complete projects for your organization. Customer-focused projects
can be set up on a time and materials or fixed-price basis. You can also use the
module to manage costs for internal and investment projects.

The following figure provides an overview of the project management and


accounting module.

FIGURE 1.1 PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ACCOUNTING MODULE OVERVIEW

For external projects, you can create project quotations that can be converted to
projects. You create project contracts with one or more funding sources that will
be invoiced for project costs and fees.

Each project that you create can have one or more subprojects and activities that
are made up of the project work structure. You can create financial forecasts and
budgets for cost control and to measure project performance.

You can assign attributes for project skills and experience to workers to enable
you to search for and assign workers to a project that is based on skills and
availability. For additional project planning flexibility, you can integrate the
projects with Microsoft® Project Server.

During project execution, employees and contractors can enter project timesheets
and expense reports. Required items and services can be procured and charged
back to the customer.

Project managers have a variety of reports and analytical tools to examine project
performance from a variety of perspectives.

Project List
The project list contains the list of all projects in the current company and will be
used frequently by project managers. Open Project management and
accounting > Common > Projects > All projects.

FIGURE 1.2 PROJECT LIST

By default, only active projects are shown in the list. To see all projects,
including those with project stage of completed, select All in the Show projects
filter.

In addition, a project will be listed along with its subprojects. To collapse project
hierarchies, set the Show levels filter to Top.

Initially, only projects in the current legal entity are displayed in the list.
However, you can display projects from other legal entities that you have access
to by selecting one more items in the Show project in legal entity filter.

NOTE: The list of project legal entities will initially be presented as a single list
of all available legal entities. However, you may define a hierarchical subset of
legal entities by creating an organization hierarchy in the Organization
administration module and assigning it as the default hierarchy for the Project
management purpose.

Project Group
You change the project group for a project by clicking Project Group on the
Action Pane. Changing the project group may also change the project type.

FIGURE 1.5 CHANGE PROJECT GROUP FORM

Project types and groups are discussed in detail in later chapters.

Project Numbering
Specify the format and behavior of Project IDs in the Number Sequences tab of
the Project management and accounting parameters form. Click Project
management and accounting > Setup > Project management and accounting
parameters. When you set up the number sequence, consider the following:

• Whether you will manually specify project IDs or have them


automatically generated
• How you want to sort projects
• The depth of the project hierarchies you will use
• Which characters you will use as separators between the levels in the
project hierarchies
• How many projects you will create later

Variable Digit Numbering


Whereas you can set up project IDs with a variable number of digits (for
example, PROJ#), this may cause problems when sorting projects. That is
because project IDs are sorted alphabetically, not numerically.

For example, creating a new project with a single digit number sequence gives a
project ID of 1. As you continue to create more projects, the system functions
correctly until it reaches the tenth project. Project number 10 will be sorted only
under project number 1.

This means the sorting of the projects appear out of order, as shown in the
following table.

1-8 Microsoft Official Training Materials for Microsoft Dynamics ®


Your use of this content is subject to your current services agreement
Chapter 1: Working with Projects

Order of created project Actual sort order


Project 1 Project 1
Project 2 Project 10
Project 3 Project 11
Project 4 Project 2
Project 5 Project 20
Project 6 Project 3
Project 7 Project 4
Project 8 Project 5
Project 9 Project 6
Project 10 Project 7
Project 11 Project 8
Project 20 Project 9

One solution is to create a number sequence with leading zeros (padding) as


follows.

• Smallest number: 0001


• Largest number: 999999

Number of Projects
The previous example affects how many new projects can be created in the
project management and accounting module.

Allocate a higher number as the smallest number if there will be several projects.

By increasing the smallest number to 0001, a total of 9999 projects can be


created at the top level. If it is not a concern, ignore the described sorting issue
and use the numbers 1 to 9999999999.

Depth of Project Hierarchy


When you build the project hierarchies:

• Every level uses one character of the 10 characters available in the


project number.
• If the number sequence is set up to start with 0001, the first
subproject of the first project (that is, the first level) receives the
numbering 00011.
• The second level allocates the numbering 000111, and so on.
• The original project can be considered level zero

Microsoft Official Training Materials for Microsoft Dynamics ® 1-9

Project Essentials in Microsoft Dynamics® AX 2012 R2

Using Characters as Separators


Instead of viewing a subproject ID made up as the one depicted previously—
000111—you can insert characters to separate the levels.

When you specify characters in the format of the projects, the project ID can be
easier to read and levels easier to decipher.

The example could then be changed into 0001-1-1, visually reflecting the
different levels.

Because the project ID can only contain 10 characters, this limits the level of
hierarchies. Now there are 9999 projects remaining that can go as deep as three
levels. It allows for only nine subprojects at each level (because the number of
characters per level is one). Or, 9999 projects can be created by using only two
levels. It allows for 99 subprojects at each level.

Extending the Length of the Project ID Field


If many projects and subprojects are needed, change the standard length of the
project ID to contain more than 15 characters. Perform this with the initial setup
of Microsoft Dynamics AX or later versions when it is necessary.

Project Hierarchies
Some projects can easily be managed as a single project for planning and
accounting. In other projects it is useful when distinct phases of the project's
activities are split into separate subprojects. For example, if a large project has
several phases such as a design phase and an implementation phase a separate
subproject can be created for each phase.

Use subprojects to:

• Achieve a project structure that reflects the different project


initiatives.
• Process special accounting situations.

Examples include the following:

• Invoicing expenses and materials on a fixed-price project


• Keeping track of internal time consumption as part of the preparation
for an external project.

All project types can be combined in a project hierarchy, and more subprojects
can be added as a project progresses. Project hierarchy properties appear in the
Project hierarchy tab on the Project details form.

Chapter 1: Working with Projects

Subproject ID Format
The Subproject ID format field defines the next level in a project hierarchy.
When a subproject is created, the subproject ID is formed by appending a
numeric sequence onto the parent Project ID.

To specify the next level, specify the character number that lets the system know
how to designate the project ID for the subproject, and whether it should have a
suffix. The suffix also consists of a number. The format field is closely
connected to the project ID field.

You can specify the default subproject ID format in the Project management
and accounting parameters form.

By default, the project ID number contains only 15 characters. The number of


characters entered in the format field is appended to the project ID number. The
length of the combined fields cannot exceed the maximum number of characters
specified for the project ID number.

EXAMPLE: A project with a project ID of 0001 is set up, and subprojects are
also required. The project hierarchy is specified in the format field on the top-
level or parent project and set up as "-#."
The new subproject is automatically created by using the following project ID
0001-1, the next is 00001-2, and so on. Overall, up to three levels can be created
in this hierarchy (0001-1-1-1) if the same format is retained because there are 10
characters in the number (remember, a dash is considered a character).

Creating Subprojects
Create subprojects by clicking Subproject on the Action Pane on the Project tab
in the New group.

Parent Project
You can view the parent project ID of a subproject on the Project hierarchy tab
on the Projects form.

Header Projects
Selecting the Header project check box on the Project details form designates
the project as a header project. Header projects summarize only, and no
transactions can be posted to a header project.

A header project must be created at the top level of a hierarchy. Projects cannot
be added to a header project after its creation.

Report Sort Fields


For each project, you can specify up to three values as a sorting key for projects.
The sorting information is optional and can be added at any point, even after
transactions have been registered to a project. These values are maintained in the
Report Sorting tab of the Project details form.

FIGURE 1.7 REPORT SORTING TAB PROJECT DETAILS FORM

The sorting codes in the Project management and accounting module resemble
the financial dimensions. However, unlike financial dimensions, they do not
allocate expenses - instead they provide an option for segmenting projects for
analysis.

To define the available sorting criteria for projects, open Project management
and accounting > Setup > Project report sort fields.

Three sorting criteria can be set up for each project. The information is for
statistical use only—no business logic is tied to these fields.

Work Breakdown Structure


The project work breakdown structure (WBS) defines the set of tasks performed
on projects and can be used for fine-grained tracking of hour, expense, and item
consumption and forecasting. To track the total cost for a specific task, specify
the activity associated with the project transaction when the project transaction is
entered through a project journal.

To set up activities, open Project management and accounting > Common >
Projects > All projects. Highlight the project for which you want to set up a
WBS. In the Action Pane, select the Plan tab. In the Activities group, click Work
breakdown structure.

FIGURE 1.8 WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE FORM

Activities are set up using an activity hierarchy, in which subactivities are created
as smaller tasks within one large task or phase of a project.

Activities are set up using an activity hierarchy, in which subactivities are created
as smaller tasks within one large task or phase of a project.

The following information relates to working with activities:

• Because activities are specific tasks that are performed on a specific


project, they are always project-specific and not shared between
projects.
• Each project transaction can be associated with an activity in the
WBS. This is covered in a later chapter “Working with Project
Transactions.”

Project Copy Wizard


Use the Project Copy Wizard to:

• Create new projects, or project hierarchies.


• Transfer set up values from an existing project.
• Enable a project to act as a template for other projects created later.

The following values can be copied from the template project:

• Hour costs and sales prices


• Expense cost and sales prices
• Fee sales prices
• Activities
• Line property setup
• Ledger posting
• Validation rules for categories and workers

The setup of validation rules is covered separately in Advanced Project


Management and Accounting.

Working with the Project Copy Wizard


A prerequisite for using the wizard is to select the Project template check box
on the Hierarchy tab on the Project details form on an existing project.

• When the Project Copy Wizard is used, all projects selected as


templates are available for selection.
• To make a project structure available for copying, all projects in the
hierarchy must be defined as a project templates.
• Selecting a project as a template does not prevent additional editing
in that project.

NOTE: While a project designated as a template project can be altered and the
next project created based on the new template contains the change, any
previously created projects do not update with the template's changes.
