Project code not appearing for selection on a Purchase Request detail line

Updated over a week ago

The most common cause of a Project not being available for use is that its status is set to something like 'Completed' which means it cannot be used on transactions. To check this:

  1. Log in to Dimensions

  2. Browse to Costing, Projects

  3. Find the project being used on the purchase request

  4. Ensure the status is set to 'Active' (A) or 'Reopened' (R) which are the only statuses that allow you to raise transactions against them

The other common cause, is that you have a filter set inside of FocalPoint Administrator and the Project you want to use is being filtered out of the results. To check this:

  1. Log in to FocalPoint Administrator

  2. Browse to System Options, Purchasing, Purchase Request Setup

  3. Highlight the purchase request type being used and click Edit

  4. On the General tab, check if there is a "Project Filter" being used

  5. If there is, check what this filter is set to and make a note of this

  6. Now log in to Dimensions

  7. Browse to Costing, Projects

  8. Find the project being used on the Purchase Request

  9. Ensure it meets the criteria as noted above in the filter and if not, update accordingly or remove the filter altogether
