Data
Flow -
Through
full integration with the financial modules,
information flows into the PE system. This means
project managers do not have to wait until the
end of an accounting period to know if their
projects are on target. Moreover, it provides
visibility into future expenses as commitments
are recorded. The information is presented in
non-accounting terms that project managers can
easily understand and use. |
|
Project
Summarization -
Managers
can structure projects the way they do business.
Project Expert tracks information in layers of
summarization. This approach provides a
top-to-bottom view of project performance —
from a multi-project view down to a snapshot of
individual projects and sub-projects.

|
System
Integration -
Project
data can be managed and presented by other IDEAS
financial modules, including Allocations,
Budgeting and the Financial Report Writer. This
common financial data, combined with the unique
user-defined data from Project Expert, creates a
powerful base of information to manage your
projects.
|
|
Data
Consistency
-
The
accounting staff and project managers share a
common set of data.
This approach allows both to use the same
systems, ensuring accurate and timely analysis
from a single financial database that is
complete and accessible. |
|
Customer
& Internal Audits
-
Specific
financial information about each project and
sub-project is retained for the life of the
project.
Having reports of all the purchase orders
or invoices for a project, for example, greatly
helps when a project is being audited internally
or by the customer. |
|
Performance
& Detail Reporting -
A set of standard
financial reports are available, which provide a
clear presentation of project and program
financial performance. Additional detail reports
provide full listings of historic documents,
such as project purchase orders, invoices and
payment information. In addition, the full
complement of inquiries and reports are
available in the IDEAS General Ledger and
Financial Report Writer.
|
|
Variable
Fields -
Each project type defined to the PE
system supports up to 100 user-defined fields.
These are organized as up to 10 entry
fields on up to 10 tabs.
These fields can contain text, dates,
numbers or you can choose from user-defined
lists.
|
|
Email
Notification -
Functionality within PE
allows you to define “alerts”, which trigger
sending emails to the project manager, engineer
and/or accountant.
These alerts can be based on project
dates or financial performance.

|
Enhanced
Security
-
As with other IDEAS modules, you can implement
even greater system control through the Enhanced
Security module.
