How to set up and use Event Activities published
This guide explains how to set up and use Event Activities. Event Activities are used to automatically present Contract and Event information into user defined views rather than requiring users to use filters and searches to obtain the same information.
Event Activities are used in the Contract Management Console Activities Tab to display all Contracts that match the Event Activity criteria and the logged in user’s security permissions. Using Event Activities enables users to quickly review and take action on the Contracts and Events that are of most importance to them in a screen designed to present information in a clear and customisable manner.
The availability of Event Activities in the Contract Management Console significantly reduces the need to use reporting including the Contracts Report Writer.
Event Activity information is presented based on user defined Event Ranges where the Start Event in the Event Range has been registered and the End Event in the Event Range has not been registered.
For example, Event Activities could be created for departments/functions or processes – e.g. Sales, Construction, Maintenance, Administration. Alternatively, Event Activities might also be used to distinguish between regions where the dataset does not easily cater for this – e.g. Hunter Sales, Sydney Sales etc. These are examples only, how Event Activities are used in each dataset is determined by business requirements.
Before using Event Activities in the Contract Management Console Activity Tab, it is important to carefully create and configure required Event Activities. This includes optionally using User Profiles and the Contract Filter Editor to control the data displayed.
The first section of this guide explains all aspects of setting up and configuring Event Activities, followed by how to use the Activities tab in the Contract Management Console.

Contracts Job Costing Forecasting Process Guide published
This document explains how to setup the Contracts and Job Costing Modules so that the Contract Job Costing Forecast report can be run to show Outstanding Purchase Order Costs in Weekly, Monthly or Quarterly time buckets for cashflow planning purposes.
To make use of the Contract Job Costing Forecast report, the Contracts & Job Costing modules for the dataset should be configured consistent with the BusinessCraft Residential Building Tutorial. Additional configuration required includes:
Create TMR Codes for the purposes of running the report
Link Cost Centres to those TMR Codes
Link those TMR Codes to Sale Group Stages
The estimated cashflow outflow for each Outstanding Purchase Order is determined by using the Cost Centre for the Purchase Order, looking up the TMR Code for the Cost Centre, using that TMR Code to determine the Sales Stage for the Sale Group for the Contract and then using the Forecast/Registration Date for the Completion Event for the Sales Stage for the cash outflow, optionally extended by the Payment Terms for the Purchase Order Vendor.
This guide explains this additional configuration in detail before explaining how to run the Contract Job Costing Forecast report.
