Refresh Project Connections

Explanation

Once different types of objects are connected to a project there can be occasions where the cost/revenue and hour values in the object are revised and these revisions may not be reflected on the project connection. Therefore project connection should be refreshed:

• During an upgrade
• To correct old erroneous cost/ revenue values
• To correct old data that result from system errors.

This function can be performed for all the the projects in the company when the All Projects checkbox is selected. You can also select the All Objects check box as well which would refresh all the object connections in all the projects. Note that if it is executed for all the projects the operation will run as a background job. 

Prerequisites

• Project connected objects should exist.

System Effects

• The cost/revenue values in the selected project or projects will be refreshed.
• Total work days and actual start values will be recalculated.
