From a Project record sheet, go to Flow analysis > section Flow > Create/Generate the initial labor flows".
Three ways to generate initial flows:
In the first case, this operation allows you get a simulation. Therefore, you can - after the revision of your estimate and after the modification of the different business objects of your project - revalidate the estimate and update your initial budget.
In the second case, the initial budget creation is definitive. It cannot be modified any longer. You must simulate before validating an order.
Then, the flow analysis allows you to either make a simulation or to create the initial budget of the project on which you are working.
When you view your initial budget, the projected budget is automatically calculated. The update will be performed on all the projects that are not finished (real end date non filled in the Project record sheet).
Business objects that are taken into account in the projection recalculation are:
Therefore, the projection of your project automatically evolves with the revisions of the estimates, orders, labor or invoicing tables, deliveries or receptions as well as issues invoicing.
Note: the creation of the projected budget into Other Costs is done manually.
A project result is done from the following business objects:
Flow calculation performed on purchases and sales are only done in batch for all the projects and by period (BCO, Purchase and Other incurred costs).
Note: for labor, there are two possibilities: by batch or by project.
When performing a task, it is sometimes necessary to take elements available in the storage units to allocate them to the project. To know the cost, Charge to inventory flows are automatically created by validating a storage unit movement.
Note: after generating performed flows, if you modify business objects already transferred into the flows, you can regenerate the three types of flows (BCO, Purchase and Other incurred costs) by batch for all the projects or project by project on a given period of time.
Generation means creating existing flows from business objects that were never part of the flows.
