Project Costing Business Unit (PCBU)
A business unit in Project Costing is defined as an operational subset of the organization. Ex: 60172, 60173, etc.
CSJ Control Section Job
Project AKA “Project ID”
Project is the core project costing Chartfield that captures information for project accounting. DD + CSJ in 60172,60173, & 60176. Ex: 02160101031
(Source) Activity Project component used to capture and collect costs for a specific phase of work
Distributional Activity Determines how expenditures are funded for a given transaction. Ex: Federal, State, Local, or/and Bond
Source Analysis Type Assigned to individual transactions to identify where thetransaction is coming from. For example: Transactions with an ACT are coming from the accounts payable module, transactions with GLE are coming from General Ledger, etc.
Distributional Analysis Type
Distinguishes the funding as federal, state, local, or bond. Ex: FDF, FDS, FDL, or FDB

Key Term Definition
Funds Distribution Funds Distribution is the process of distributing funding by applying Funds Distribution rules to incoming transactions and assigning costs accordingly.
Fund Source AKA “Resource Category”
It enables you to know how the costs are being funded, whether federal, state, bond, or local. Ex: 0006, M001*The “Fund” field used to complete chartfields is a different field, but is often confused in conversation.
Demo ID AKA “Resource Subcategory”
The Demo ID is a subcategory of a funding source that is classified as earmarked. Ex: TX123
Threshold Amount AKA “Obligation Amount”
Funding limit dollar amount for a specific line or sequence of funding
AFA Advanced Funding Agreement

Project setups in these business units are handled by the FIN Project Ledgers team

How Projects are Set-Up in PeopleSoft Project Costing
The majority of projects are extracted from DCIS
– State Letting Projects, Non-Letting Projects, and Local Letting Projects
Usually setup in two phases
– PE phase
• CSJ to PeopleSoft should only be requested when it’s ready for design work
– Once a project ID is set up it cannot be reused
• Push to PeopleSoft is indicated by a date on the PE DCIS (P11) screen
– Construction and CE phase
• Push to PeopleSoft indicated by an actual let date on the Project Info DCIS Screen(P01)
• State Letting projects, set up process begins after monthly Letting
– Projects are made active in PeopleSoft after Award by Commission
DCIS funding information directly impacts how projects are set up in PS and how expenditures are distributed
*Missing/incorrect DCIS information may delay project set up*

DCIS Inbound Interface
9
Creates and updates Projects and Activities
The Inbound interface from DCIS:
Creates and updates Project Attributes
Creates and updates Fund Distribution Rules
Creates and updates Customer Contracts
Initiated by Letting Management Uses information from P01, P02, P2C, P2D, P03, P04, P05, P11 Three day/two night process
06/07/2018
DCIS P11 Screen – PE Phase
10
PE push to PeopleSoft is initiated by the Letting Management coordinator assigned to that district Letting coordinator enters the date into the “PE Date” field and the interface
process will begin that night

DCIS P01 Screen

06/07/2018
Project Attributes Page
DCIS is the source for all projects in PCBU 60176
– Project ID
• In PS, the project ID consists of the district/division followed by the CSJ (Ex: 02160101031)
– P01 SCREEN: Project Class, Authority Description, Highway Number, County, TxDOTproject number
– P02 SCREEN: Low-Bid Amount, Sub-receipt/Vendor field
– P03 SCREEN: Urban/Rural Code
– P05: Primary CSJ

Some fields are derived from fields in DCIS and then programming within the interface is used to populate the fields in PeopleSoft.

DCIS Interface- Funds Distribution
“Waterfall” based on the P02 and P2C screens
Funding from P02 screen will be used on activities in the following order:
1) CNST
2) CNSTF
3) CE
P02 screen MUST have an open line of funding
PSFT does not track Cat or Work program

Funds Distribution
Contains funding rules & controls how projects pay out
“Waterfall” funding is set up in Funds Distribution –through the use of Sequences
Expenditures : Once sequence 1 is fully exhausted the remaining flows through to sequence 2. Once sequence 2 is fully exhausted all remaining expenses will flow through to catch sequence 3.

Catch sequence indicated by twelve 9’s

PSFT Total Project Cost – Calculating Threshold Amounts
For all construction CSJs that are let through Site Manager, Finance has additive percentages that are added onto the low bid to come up with a more accurate estimate of what the project will cost.
Rates based on project class, derived from historical data
Contingency (CONT%) – Estimated amount of changes to bid items or work that fall below the threshold for creating a change order
Potential Change Order (PCO%) – Estimated amount of changes orders that will likely be approved and applied to the CSJ
Construction Engineering (ENG%) – Estimated costs for engineering and time charged by TxDOT during the construction phase

Summary of Project Setups
DCIS houses important information on numerous screens that is used to setup projects in Project Costing
– Project attributes come from the P01, P02, P04, & P05 screens
– Project fund distribution rules come from the P02 & P2C screens
It is crucial for the information in DCIS to be accurate in order for the project to be setup correctly
