Import Projects

Field Header Name

Required/Comments

1

A

Project_Org_Code

ALWAYS REQUIRED.  This code uniquely identifies the Organization to which the project belongs.  This value must match an existing Project Organization Code value defined in your system.  If the Organization you are trying to import does not already exist in the database, the entire record will be rejected.

You can use the project import to change a project organization code for an existing project by supplying the following syntax in this field.

"!RENAME!,old_project_org_code,new_project_org_code"  -- this entire string must be enclosed in double quotes.

For example, if you were attempting to change:

1) Existing Project Org Code "Org1" to "Org_One", the import file would include:
"!RENAME!,Org1,Org_One"

See the Excel Tips regarding the use of double quotes and more.

Note for Non-Administrator Data Import Users - Can only access those projects to which they have access via an Organization Access relationship. Only those projects to which the user has both Project AND Owning Organization Access visibility will appear in their resulting list.  

Customer Organization Requirement

When using Unanet Financials (Use Financial Organizations (unanet.financials.use_financial_orgs) property enabled), the Project Organization must be designated as a Customer for the Legal Entity of the Project's Owning Organization (this is enforced during various posting procedures if the project is configured to participate in Unanet Invoicing, that is, the Generate Unanet Invoice check box is checked on the Project Profile >> Invoice Setup screen).  An Organization is identified as being a customer for a Legal Entity on the Organization >> Customer Profile screen.

2

B

Project_Code

CONDITIONALLY REQUIRED.  This project code uniquely identifies the Project.  The project code is unique within an Organization.

Automatic Project Code Generation

This field is always required for add and update unless you are using the Automatic Project Code Generation functionality.  When this feature is enabled, leaving the Project Code field blank will result in the creation of a new project having an automatically generated project code.  If this feature is not enabled and this value is not supplied, the record will be rejected.

You can use the project import to change a project code for an existing project by supplying the following syntax in this field.

"!RENAME!,old_project_code,new_project_code"  -- this entire string must be enclosed in double quotes.

For example, if you were attempting to change:

1) Existing Project Code "Project1" to "Project_One", the import file would include:
"!RENAME!,Project1,Project_One"

Maximum Length: 30 characters

Note for Non-Administrator Data Import Users - Can only access those projects to which they have access via an Organization Access relationship. Only those projects to which the user has both Project AND Owning Organization Access visibility will appear in their resulting list.  

See the Excel Tips regarding the use of double quotes and more.

C

Project_Type

ALWAYS REQUIRED on ADD. If the Project Type value you are trying to import does not exist in the database, the entire record will be rejected.  The project type must be active if the project is active.

4

D

Project_Status

ALWAYS REQUIRED on ADD. If the Project Status value you are trying to import does not exist in the database, the entire record will be rejected.

5

E

Project_Manager

This is the userid (username) of the person in charge of this project. This userid must already exist in the database and must have the Project Manager role. If this userid does not exist, the entire record will be rejected.  If you leave this field blank, the system will populate the field with the user id of the person running the import.

Note: If the person assigned as the Project Manager has the Resource Planner, Resource Assigner, or Resource Requestor role, that individual will also be assigned as the Primary Resource Planner, Assigner, Requestor for that project. If that user does not have any of those global level roles,  you can associate them via this import or via the Project Profile >> Administrators screen. This same defaulting does not occur when updating an existing project.

AG

Assigned_Person_Orgs

This field can contain one to many organization codes.  If multiple organizations are listed, they must be separated by commas and contained within double quotes.  (e.g., Field32,"org1,org2,org3", Field34). This field is used to automatically assign all people within a given organization to a particular project.  

Whether projects assigned via Org Assignments will appear by default on a users timesheet or expense report depends on how the Default to Assign Projects (unanet.org_assignment.my_projects.select_by_default) property is configured.  When enabled, these projects will appear in the right "Selected Projects" window (on their My Projects screen) by default, otherwise, when disabled, they will appear in the left "Available Projects" window by default (and thus, not automatically appearing on the timesheet or expense report).

This field can be left blank.

You can use the special tag !BLANK! to remove an existing entry in this field.

If importing information to an existing project, this field will be ignored if no value is supplied (that is -- no change will occur).  If this field contains any organizations, all existing assigned organizations will be replaced by the new list included in the import.

The organization listed in this field must be a valid Unanet organization, otherwise an error message will be produced.

Financial Org Restriction  When the Use Financial Organizations (unanet.financials.use_financial_orgs) property is enabled, valid person organizations to be assigned will be limited to those Organizations having the same Legal Entity as that of the Project's Owning Organization.

If you would like to add an additional organization code to the list without supplying any previously supplied values, you can use the special tag !APPEND!.    "!APPEND!,additional_Org,additional_Org"  -- this entire string must be enclosed in double quotes (note that if you are working in Excel, Excel will provide the double quotes and thus you do not need to add them in manually).

Similarly, if you would like to remove one or several entries from an existing list, you can use the special tag !REMOVE!.   "!REMOVE!,Org1,Org2"  -- this entire string must be enclosed in double quotes.

See the Example below for syntax help.

See the Excel Tips regarding the use of double quotes and more.

34

AH

Pay_Code_List

This field can contain one to many valid pay codes (each must be a valid existing pay code within Unanet). If one or more pay codes are listed on a given import record, then any existing pay codes listed for that project will be removed and replaced by the new list. If multiple pay codes are listed, they must be separated by commas and contained within double quotes  

  (e.g. Field33,"paycode1,paycode2,paycode3").

If importing information to an existing project, this field will be ignored if left empty (that is -- no change will occur).

If you would like this project to use the system's list of initial project default pay codes as defined by the administrator in the pay code maintenance screen, simply leave the field empty when inserting new records.  If you leave this field empty, but no pay codes have been designated as initial project default pay codes, then the effect will be a blank list of project pay codes.

If you would like to modify an existing project, changing an explicit list of pay codes to instead use the list of initial project default pay codes, then you can import the special tag !BLANK! value in this field.

If you would like to add an additional pay code to the list without supplying any previously supplied values, you can use the special tag !APPEND!.    "!APPEND!,additional_pay_code,additional_pay_code"  -- this entire string must be enclosed in double quotes (note that if you are working in Excel, Excel will provide the double quotes and thus you do not need to add them in manually).

Similarly, if you would like to remove one or several entries from an existing list, you can use the special tag !REMOVE!.   "!REMOVE!,Pay_Code1,Pay_Code2"  -- this entire string must be enclosed in double quotes.

See the Example below for syntax help.

See the Excel Tips regarding the use of double quotes and more.

35

AI

Default_Pay_Code

This field can contain one distinct valid pay code (must be a valid existing pay code within Unanet) or the field can also be blank.  

If importing information to an existing project, this field will be ignored if left empty (that is -- no change will occur).

On a new project insert, if you would like this project to use the systems default pay code, then simply leave this field empty (and the system will derive the pay code to use).  When the default pay code is left blank, the system will lookup the current 'system wide default' as it is processing information.

If you have supplied a list of valid pay codes in the Pay_Code_List field, then this value must be one of those valid pay codes for this project.

If you want to update an existing project, changing the existing value to begin using the system wide default pay code, you can import the special !BLANK! tag which will null out this field which equates to instructing the system to derive the default pay code.

36

AJ

Task_Level_Assignment

Valid values include Y or N (if not provided, N is the default for a new entry).  Defines whether Resource Assigners can assign individuals at the Project Level or at the Task Level.  

Y indicates the assignments will be managed at the Task level, while N indicates the assignments will be managed at the Project level.

Note: When updating this value, any existing assignments will be deleted from the system.  Further, you will need to check the 'Allow Project/Task Assignment Level updates" option on the import screen if you intend to alter this value on an existing project (in order to prevent the accidental removal of existing assignments).

37

AK

Probability_Percent

The project Probability Percentage field can be used to specify a numeric percentage (values should range between 1 and 100 -- but the field will accept values up to 999).  Several of the Unanet financial reports can optionally use the value of this field when calculating bill and cost information.  This field is required in the database, and if not provided, a default value of 100 will be stored.

Maximum Length: 3 numeric positions

38

AL

Percent_Complete

The project Percent Complete field can be used to specify a numeric percentage (values should range between 0 and 100 supporting 3 digits to the right of the decimal).  Several of the Unanet reports will use the value of this field in their calculations.  

This field can be blank.  You can use the special tag !BLANK! to remove an existing entry in this field.

Maximum Length: 3 numeric positions to the left of the decimal and 3 numeric positions to the right of the decimal.

39

AM

TITO_Required

This field is used to define whether Time In / Out entries are required for this project when users enter time on their timesheets.  The valid values for this field include:

• "N" - meaning Time In/Out entries are NOT REQUIRED for this project

• "Y" - meaning Time In/Out entries are required for this project (despite the user level Time In/Out setting)

• "U" - which indicates that whether Time In/Out entries are required depends on the User Time In/Out setting defined on the Admin -- Person screen.  

A value of "U" will be supplied on newly imported projects if no other value is supplied.  During an update, if this field is blank, this field will not be updated (the existing database entry will remain).

40

AN

Bill_Rate_Source

Valid values include P or L (if not provided, P is the default for a new entry).  Defines the default data source for bill rate information.  "P" for person rate and "L" for labor category rate.

Beginning with version 9.3, the Resource Manager role is no longer recognized within Unanet.   It was replaced by two new roles (Resource Planner and Resource Assigner).  For backward compatibility purposes, if this field is included in a project import file, the value may be used under the following circumstances:  

• If a value is supplied in either of the "Proj_Access_Resource_Planner" or "Proj_Access_Resource_Assigner" fields, those values will be used and any value in this field will be ignored.  

• If no values are supplied in the "Proj_Access_Resource_Planner" or "Proj_Access_Resource_Assigner" fields, then the value supplied in this field will be used for both of the two fields.   

• If no values are supplied for any of these three fields, the normal defaulting logic for the  "Proj_Access_Resource_Planner" or "Proj_Access_Resource_Assigner" fields will apply.

Note that you will not be allowed to delete a project if time or expense actuals have been charged against the project or if the project is designated as a 'Lead Project' in an Invoice Group.

68

BP

Owning_Organization

CONDITIONALLY REQUIRED.  This value is used to identify the Owning Organization for a project (which may be different than the Project Organization).   

You may be able to use the special tag !BLANK! to remove an existing entry in this field.

This value must match an existing Organization Code value defined in your system.  If the Organization you are trying to import does not already exist in the database, the entire record will be rejected.

When Required?

When using Unanet Financials (Use Financial Organizations (unanet.financials.use_financial_orgs) property enabled), this is a required field and must be associated with an Organization that is designated as a Financial Organization.  This designation occurs on the Organization Edit >> Financials tab.  

Regardless of whether you use Unanet Financials and the state of the property mentioned above, if this project is to be configured to participate in Invoicing, this is a required field.

69

BQ

Billing_Type

This value is used to identify a particular billing type to be associated with this project.  You can use the special tag !BLANK! to remove an existing entry in this field.

This value must match an existing Billing Type value defined in your system.  If the Billing Type you are trying to import does not already exist in the database, the entire record will be rejected.

Note there are limitations with respect to allowable combinations of project and task level billing types (see Project Profile for more information).  Also note that there are limitations with respect to when a billing type can be changed (i.e., once an item has been included in a post process, the billing type can no longer be changed).  Further, if a billing type change is allowed, any previously configured information on the Project >> Billing screens will be removed.

When importing a new record and the billing type is 'billable' (i.e., CP, TM, or FP), note that the Project >> Billing >> Accounts entries will be established using system default values.

You will need to check the 'Allow Billing Type updates" option on the import screen if you intend to alter this value on an existing project (in order to prevent the accidental removal of any related fixed price items).

70

BR

Cost_Structure

This field is used to assign a particular Cost Structure to a project.  Once any expense actuals have been recorded against this project, the Cost Structure association cannot be removed or changed. You can use the special tag !BLANK! to remove an existing entry in this field (as long as no expense actuals exist).

This field can be blank.  

This value must match an existing Cost Structure code value in your system.  If the Cost Structure you are trying to import does not already exist in the database, the entire record will be rejected.

71

BS

Fee_Factor

For backwards compatibility, support for importing a single Fee Factor can be facilitated via this project import.  If you need to manage multiple fee factors for a single project, you can use the Project Fee Import.  

CONDITIONALLY REQUIRED. This field is used to specify a value related to Project Accounting fee calculations.  This value is required if a value is supplied for Fee_Calculation_Method and is used in conjunction with the Fee_Factor_Type field to determine if this is a factor or percent. The values for this field can range from -999 to 999 (with up to 2 decimal places of precision).  

You can use the special tag !BLANK! to remove an existing entry in this field.

Rules related to handling Fee entries considering there may be many:
-- If no fee details exist in the project_fee table for this project, we will insert a new fee entry for this project if one is provided.
-- If one entry exists and we are receiving an update for the same fee method, we will update the fee entry.
-- If one entry exists and we are receiving a different fee method, we will update/replace the existing fee entry.
-- If more than one fee entries exist and we are receiving one of the existing fee methods, we will update that entry.

Fee_Calculation_Method

For backwards compatibility, support for importing a single Fee Calculation Method can be facilitated via this project import.  If you need to manage multiple fee calculation methods for a single project, you can use the Project Fee Import.  

CONDITIONALLY REQUIRED. This field is used to specify which fee calculation method is to be used for calculating a Project Accounting related fee for this project.  The values supplied in this field must match an existing Fee Method in your system (defined by an Administrator on the Admin >> Setup >> Fee Calculation Method screen).   If the Fee Method you are trying to import does not already exist in the database, the entire record will be rejected.  

This field is used in conjunction with the Fee_Factor field.   For each project, a Fee_Calculation_Method can only appear once. 

You can use the special tag !BLANK! to remove an existing entry in this field. 

See Fee Factor -- Rules above for detail regarding the handling of Fee entries considering there may be many.
