Project Codes in CAR
Project code is one component of an account number defined in GL setup functions. You can use projects to track expenses and revenue for distinct activities. Other components of an account number are account, sub-account, and cost center.
Note: Use Project Create (25.3.11.1.1) to define project codes.
Each account component must be valid on its own and in combination with other account number components.
Most orders generate either cost or revenue GL transactions. In work orders, project codes group costs. In sales orders, they group revenue. Call Activity Recording is unique because it tracks both labor, expense, and item costs and invoiceable amounts that generate service revenue.
As a result, up to three projects can be specified in Call Activity Recording, illustrated in Projects in Call Activity Recording.

Projects in Call Activity Recording
The sales project is associated with the Sales account for tracking call revenue. This project is validated with the other Sales account components that display on the screen.
The sales discount project is associated with the Sales Discount account. This project is typically the same as the Sales account project. This project is validated with the other Sales Discount account components that display on the screen.
The report project is associated with call line reports for tracking call costs. This project is not validated with other account components, since the Cost of Goods Sold accounts are not determined until later. However, it is validated during GL transaction post.
