Convert Organization Codes for Projects or Phases or Tasks

Use the Projects' Organization Key Conversion utility to change the organization of projects, phases, or tasks.

You can only run the Projects' Organization Key Conversion from the most current, open accounting period.

This utility creates journal entry type transactions that transfer all of the revenue and expenses for the project, phase, or task from the old organization to the new organization. If you are changing the organization for multiple accounting periods, the utility creates and posts the journal entry type transactions by accounting period.

This utility does not adjust transaction detail, such as for timesheets or accounts payable. You should only run this utility after you have completed all transaction-based calculations (such as those for Labor Cross Charge and Intercompany Billing).

If the Resource Planning module is activated but the Accounting module is not, and you have a variable organization structure, you cannot use this utility to change organization codes.

Prerequisite: Back up your DPS database.
