Cost item integration behavior

Provides flexibility in how to configure Control with and without a direct tie to an ERP system. There is also an option to pass cost items directly from other sources to applications. You can select from the following options:

  • Control with confirmation — Use this option if you use Control and an ERP. To sync cost items between Control and other applications, you must confirm using the sync options in the Actions menu in Control or set up a sync schedule in Sync Integrations. For more information about sync integrations, see Scheduled Syncs.

  • Control without confirmation — Use this option if you use Control but not an ERP. Cost items sync automatically between Control and other applications.

  • Without Control without confirmation — Use this option if you do not use Control. Cost items pass directly from other sources to applications.

    When using a direct integration between InEight Control and your ERP, InEight Control will serve as the project controls interface for setting up and maintaining the project budget and cost structure. Every cost item created in InEight Control also needs to exist in your ERP system so actual costs can be recorded correctly. Your ERP system remains the system of record for all cost transactions, making it imperative that it remains in sync with any budget or structure changes. Your organization will need to consider what frequency is best for running each sync.

  • Use image in email notifications.

  • Send email to user when there is a role change
