Company/Entity Policy Groups Overview
Company/Entity Policy Groups
policies allow you to set groups of policies for a Company/Entity. Currently
these policies affect Track Jobs.
Note
Depending on the applications purchased by your company,
Company/Entity Policy Groups-related tabs can display from either eFinancials
or ePO menus.
Setup
Details
Setting up Company/Entity Policy Groups is required.
Policies have default settings. The default policy settings do not affect
the setup process. However, the second step in setting up should be addressing
the settings on each tab in user policies for each user.
Your selections of policies and combination of selections
may impact the Company/Entity. For your records—and
in case you decide to make changes—you
may want to create a written list of policies you plan to activate. Topics
titled Setup Questions - Company/Entity
Policy Groups and Setup
Questions - Company/Entity Policy Settings in the Setup
Guide provide you with a list of questions that can assist you.
Changing the Policy Group
Policy Groups can be changed after your initial setup
is complete; however, keep in mind that any change may impact a user's
ability to complete work. Be cautious about changing policy settings.
Consider consulting with a support representative to find out what the
impact may be on your users before resetting a policy.
Of note:
- You cannot delete
the EntityCompany
Policy Group on the EntityCompany
if transactions are associated with it.
- If your EntityCompany
has job related transactions and you try to change to a EntityCompany
Group that is not set to track jobs, the system does not allow this change
and a message appears.
- The system allows
you to switch from an
Entity a Company
Group that does not track jobs to one that does.

Additional
information about Company/Entity Policy Group categories:
Job Cost
Track Jobs
The system disables the Track Jobs check box when
a job is added for that Company/Entity. This prevents Track Jobs functionality
from being turned off once Job data already exists for this Company/Entity.
Also, when you access Job Cost from the menu and
have a Company/Entity selected that is not set to Track Jobs, the current
Company/Entity changes to the first Company/Entity that is set to Track
Jobs, or if none are available, Track Jobs is set to not selected (unchecked).
Then, when you return to eFinancials, the Company/Entity is changed to
the appropriate entity for Job Cost. If the Company/Entity is set to Track
Jobs when you choose Job Cost, that Company/Entity remains as the current
Company/Entity. In addition, the Company/Entity lookup accessed from the
footer only shows Company/Entity set to track jobs when in the Job Cost
module.
This option is disabled when the Consolidated
box is checked, as it is not applicable for a consolidated entity. Refer
to Consolidated Reporting for
more information.
Note
When the Job Cost policy is turned on, this causes Job
Cost-related fields to appear on Purchase Orders and Invoices. Refer to
field lists for Purchase Order
General Tab and Invoices Tab
for details.
