Assigning Milestones
Milestones are assigned to each Procurement State within a on the Milestones tab of the Procurement Type table.
Configuration Points:
Insert a record for each Milestone that should be associated with the selected Procurement State for the selected Procurement Type. Milestones are first set up on the Milestone table.
The Days Required for Completion defaults from the Milestone table. You can change the number of days required to complete the milestone, if it needs to be different from the default value assigned on the Milestone (MLSTN) table.
By checking the Milestone Required check box, a buyer must complete the milestone before the State will be deemed completed. If this option is not checked, then the milestone will be optional.
The system multiplies the number of days specified to complete each milestone by the complexity rating to calculate the total number of days required to complete the entire procurement process. A manager or buyer can check off completed milestones on the Milestone tab of the Procurement Management page.
