The Milestone (MLSTN) table allows you to configure milestones, which are displayed in the state viewers and are used to calculate buyer performance. Milestones serve as a roadmap to the successful completion of a State. Milestones are first set up on this table. Milestones are then assigned to each Procurement State within a Procurement Type on the Milestones tab of the Procurement Type table. If a Milestone is required, then a buyer must complete the milestone before the State will be deemed completed.
Configuration Points:
On this table, you enter information that describes a milestone, which includes:
Days Required for Completion - The amount of time required for milestone completion. This value can be changed for a specific Procurement by a manager using the Procurements I Manage or Procurements My Team Manages links displayed on the Procurement Management table.
Days Before Buyer Alert - The number of days in advance of the milestone due date that a notification should be sent to the Buyer.
Days Before Manager Alert - The number of days in advance of the milestone due date that a notification should be sent to the Manager.
Issue Alert check box - Whether alerts should be issued for buyers and mangers. Alerts are only issued if this check box is selected.
