Project management and Accounting - estimate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

I am creating an estimate in entity USSI for a fixed price project. Parameters used in estimate attached. Estimate percentage is correct but 'Cost estimate' button  is greyed out and I am not able to see the cost lines. Can someone help me understand why cost estimate button is greyed out.pastedimage1583472996415v1.pngfo.

    Hi,

    I assume that you have system admin rights in this environment.

    If this is the case then you should actually see the button being active.

    Can you thus compare the setup that you made for this project with one of the existing ones that Microsoft has included in USSI e.g. project No. 0000098 or similar fixed prices projects that are still active.

    I would assume that you missed a setup or that some stage rules or something else overlook cause the issue you see.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Thanks Ludwig, I do not have system admin rights, is that the reason for Cost estimate button not active? I am able to perform all the task/processes in the project management and accounting module .

    Hi,

    If you have one of the following roles assigned then you should be able to open the form

    * project manager

    * accounting manager

    * project supervisor

    Otherwise, you can't.

    Best regards,

    Hi Prmohan1,

    Having the roles in the system is one thing.

    The important thing is, however that your user has one of the 3 roles that I listed assigned.

    Can you double check and verify that?

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Ludwig, sorry for the confusion, My user has all the 122 roles I mentioned, including 3 roles you listed.

    Hi prmohan1,

    Is it right that you assigned 122 roles to a single user or do I understand something wrong?

    Best regards,
