Project - Intercompany Support

Note: Multi-Entity functionality is for cloud customers only.

The Intercompany Support Search / List screens are available if your system has multi-entity accounting enabled (see Setup Multi-Entity). Administrators must first set up the intercompany relationships on the Setup Multi-Entity Associations page.  

This page allows Intercompany Resource Assigners, Intercompany Project Viewers, or administrators for the lending organization in an intercompany effort to search for the intercompany projects owned by another organization. Intercompany Resource Assigners and administrators can assign colleagues to the effort and also edit plans and assignments. Intercompany Resource Assigners and Intercompany Project Viewers can only view projects to which they have been assigned. Intercompany Project Viewers can only view the plans and assignments and can view project details for certain reports (like ODC Details Report).

You can run certain reports (like Project Cost Summary (JSR)) using the reporting view of "Intercompany Support Provided By Organization" to see loaned resources working on projects outside of the lender's legal entity. You will need Intercompany Project Viewer role in addition to the regular roles to access those reports.

Assignments made from this page will also display on the Project People Assignments List, Project People Assignments - Assign with Grid, and Forecast People Assigner pages.

Plans made from this page will also display on the Project People Plans List, Project People Plans - Plan with Grid, and Forecast People Planner pages.
