Stage Item

This option contains the following fields:

• Stage Item: code of the project stage item. It is only for information purposes and it is automatically generated when an item is added for a project stage in the grid. Data configured in the table FNC-Stages are used by default for each of the stage items registered in this tab.
• Start Period: start date for controlling the activities performed on each stage. Together with the information of End Period, it determines the period in which the project costs are provisioned for its subsequent execution. Due to the characteristics of the project stages, there may be some of them in concurrent periods, which does not affect the control of projects since each fixed asset form is directly associated with a stage and not with a period.
• End Period: end date for controlling the activities performed on each stage. Together with the information of Start Period, it determines the period in which the project costs are provisioned for its subsequent execution. Due to the characteristics of the project stages, there may be some of them in concurrent periods, which does not affect the control of projects since each fixed asset form is directly associated with a stage and not with a period.
• Execution Est.: estimate date for execution of the Stage. This is the date which guides the AVP calculation, which the suggestion is the first day of the month immediately after the end date of the provision period of the project cost.
• AVP Index: It indicates the item project stage item index for calculating the AVP of the estimated values. The index indicated in the project header or in the project stage is used by default for the stage item. It may be edited and a different index may be established for the stage being maintained.
• Stage Type: it determines whether the purpose of the project stage item is to control revenue or expenses. Only project stage items with expense control may have fixed asset forms associated with them. For this stage, the focus is on control of projects of fixed assets of the type 2- Expenses, and the stage control of revenue projects do not update the environment. For this reason, the field is locked for editing and the default content is 2 – Expenses.
• Planned Vl.: planned value for expenses with the project stage item when it is executed. It must be based on the execution estimated date, since it is the reference value for calculating the current value of the project according to the previously configured AVP index.
• Actual Vl.: actual cost value of the project. It cannot be edited.
• Stage subtype: for project stage items of expense control, the subtype guides the generation of the fixed asset forms with the classification indicated as follows:
• 1= FIXED.
• 2=INTANGIBLE.
• 3=DEFERRED.
• Since the same expense project stage may have generation of different asset types for some items, the register allows defining the stage item subtype separately from the project type.
• Locked?: it allows setting a given item of a project stage as locked. If this is done, all fixed asset forms associated to the project stage item are updated to locked and ignored in the calculation process of depreciation and AVP.
• Closing Date: it defines the closing date of the stage, updated through the project closing or stage closing functions.
• Control Fixed Asset: it determines whether the stage item generates the asset form when the update operation is performed.
