Introduction

Project pegging overview
In project manufacturing environments, to facilitate cost accountability for finished goods within projects,
you can implement project pegging and indicate that items are project pegged. If a project-pegged item
is specified on a demand order, pegging information is used to allocate, track, trace, register, and supply
inventory.
Throughout the entire flow of goods, pegging information is added to items, inventory, and transactions
when goods are ordered, received, issued, and consumed. Consequently, you can track the costs at
the project, activity, and element level.
Peg distribution information is available for purchase, warehouse and job shop orders to track for which
project cost account the goods are ordered. The peg distribution lines include the item, required quantity,
unit, configuration, and the project cost account (peg) elements. In addition, the distribution lines contain
information on the top demand order, such as customer, contract, prime contractor, and top demand
order date. The main purpose of distribution lines is cost distribution and not the physical movement of
items.
In case of exceptional situations, such as partial receipts, over issues, rejections, and returns, the
quantities are allocated according to the fair, equitable and unbiased accounting principle in which the
demand need date is the main driver. Multilevel order pegging inquiries are available to manage
dependencies in the supply chain, and requirements of multiple projects can be commingled in one
purchase order to leverage volume discounts.
Actual costing and earned value can be reported any time against the project.
Setting up project pegging
To set up project pegging, complete these steps:
Step 1:
Select the Project Pegging check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000)
session.
Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging | 9
Introduction
If you want to use project pegging in combination with costing breaks, also select the Costing Breaks
check box.
Step 2:
Specify the project pegging parameters in the Project Pegging Parameters (tcpeg0100m000) session.
Step 3:
For each item, specify the peg parameters in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session. Select the Inherit
Project Peg and/or Mandatory Project Peg check boxes.

Cost peg transfer rules
Cost peg transfer rules determine the sources and the destinations that are allowed for cost peg transfers.
If no transfer rules are specified in the Cost Peg Transfer Rules (tcpeg1100m000) session, cost peg
transfers from and to project cost pegs of all planning groups within the company are allowed.
You can set transfer rules for the following levels:
1.
Planning group
2.
Project
3.
Element
4.
Activity
The planning group is the highest level. The rules set for a particular level also apply to the lower levels.
You can select the Inherit Transfer In and Inherit Transfer Out check boxes to inherit the transfer
rules from the preceding, higher level. For the highest level, planning group, the inherit options are not
available, because this is the highest level.
Note
If you re-assign projects to other planning groups, LN automatically updates the transfer rules. Therefore,
manual adjustment of the transfer rules is not required.
Error message
When setting transfer rules, the following error message is displayed if the element and activity setup
is not defined as recommended:
“Change the value of the Activity field. Reason: Work Authorization status of Project
</Element/Activity/xyz> should be Released.”
You can maintain elements and activities in the Activities (tppss2100m000) and Elements
(tpptc1100m000) sessions.

Master Data
Borrow/loan and payback transfers
If you use borrow/loan and payback transfers, ensure that cost peg transfers in and out are allowed for
the projects involved in these transfers. For example, to allow project A to borrow and pay back inventory
to project B, you must allow transfers in and transfers out for both projects.
Alternatively, if the transfer rules that you specified do not allow transfers out for potential borrowing
projects and thus rule out payback transfers, you can select the Ignore Cost Peg Transfer Rules for
Paybacks check box in the Project Pegging Parameters (tcpeg0100m000) session. For the relevant
projects, this allows payback transfers and rules out permanent transfers.
Cost peg transfer type
The Borrow / Loan value does not fully exclude permanent cost peg transfers for the specified planning
group, project, element, or activity. If Borrow / Loan is specified in the Cost Peg Transfer Type field:
▪
▪
The generate outbound advice process will generate borrow/loan transfers if an inventory
shortage is identified and ATT inventory if found at other projects. If excess inventory is present,
however, the outbound advice process generates permanent transfers.
Enterprise Planning only considers excess inventory and ignores ATT inventory when
generating permanent cost peg transfers.
If Permanent is specified, and the Use Available to Transfer check box is:
▪
Selected
Enterprise Planning and the outbound advice process generate permanent transfers from
excess inventory, if present. If not, the permanent transfers are based on ATT inventory, if
present.
▪
Cleared
Permanent transfers are generated from excess inventory, if present.
If none of the projects for which the setup allows cost peg transfers has sufficient ATT or excess inventory,
LN generates no cost peg transfers and creates an inventory shortage report.
The Permanent value excludes borrow/loan transfers.
Note
If the Use Available to Transfer check box is cleared, only the Permanent value is available in the
Cost Peg Transfer Type field. If this check box is selected,, you can choose Permanent or Borrow /
Loan in the Cost Peg Transfer Type field.
Setup example for cost peg transfer rules
Cost peg transfer rules determine the sources and the destinations that are allowed for cost peg transfers.
If no transfer rules are specified in the Cost Peg Transfer Rules (tcpeg1100m000) session, cost peg
transfers from and to project cost pegs of all planning groups within the company are allowed.

Cost peg change reasons
Peg change reasons specify why a user manually adds, changes or removes cost peg transfer lines or
cost peg distribution lines.
If the Manual Project Peg Modification check box is selected in the Project Pegging Parameters
(tcpeg0100m000) session, you can manually add, change, or delete a cost peg transfer line or a cost
peg distribution line. However, you must specify the reason before you can make any modifications. For
this purpose, the Peg Change Reason field is available in the peg sessions.
A status bar message informs you if a peg change reason is required.
Note
▪
▪
Because you must specify a reason code after each saved change, do not save the peg
distribution before you made all necessary changes.
LN modifies the cost peg transfers, orders, or order lines that affect the related cost peg transfer
or cost peg distribution lines. Therefore, users are not required to specify peg change reasons.
You cannot change cost peg transfer lines or cost peg distribution lines that are processed, or cost peg
transfer lines that are generated from the outbound advice.
If this check box is selected, you must specify a reason code for a manual change to a project peg
transfer line or project peg distribution line.
This reason code, which you can define in the Reasons (tcmcs0105m000) session, must be of the type
Project Peg Audit History. It is applicable to all pegs in the peg distribution.
Note
Manual changes and reasons for cost peg transfer lines and cost peg distribution lines are saved in the
Cost Peg Audit History (tpctm2500m000) session. For cost peg transfer lines, LN creates separate audit
history records for the transfer-from and the transfer-to information.
Cost peg transfer settings for specific scenarios
The preferred availability of inventory for transfers determine how you set up cost peg transfers. This
topic describes the setup required for a few typical scenarios.
Before setting up these scenarios, the general cost peg transfer and/or borrow/loan and payback setup
is required.
16 | Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging
Master Data
Excess inventory only
If only excess inventory must be available for cost peg transfers:
1.
Clear the Use Available to Transfer check box in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000)
session.
2.
In the Cost Peg Transfer Rules (tcpeg1100m000) session, clear the Use Available to Transfer
check box and select Permanent in the Cost Peg Transfer Type field.
As a result, LN creates only permanent transfers.
Excess and ATT within lead time fences
If you want excess and ATT inventory with safe replenishment lead times to be available for cost peg
transfers, you must select the Use Available to Transfer check box in the Cost Peg Transfer Rules
(tcpeg1100m000) session. Based on this setting, the Enterprise Planning planning engine only creates
permanent transfers. The outbound process can also create borrow/loan transfers if you also select
transfer type Borrow / Loan in the Cost Peg Transfer Rules (tcpeg1100m000) session.
Use ATT inventory regardless of lead time fences
You can also Use ATT inventory regardless of lead time fences (p. 17) while allowing ATT inventory to
be available for cost peg transfers.
ATT inventory with minimum cost effects – borrow/loan and payback
To handle shortages of project pegged inventory identified during the outbound process, you can use
the borrow/loan and payback procedure to temporarily transfer available to transfer (ATT) inventory from
other projects with minimum cost impact on either project.
Important
Before setting up these scenarios, the general cost peg transfer and/or borrow/loan and payback setup
is required.
Use ATT inventory regardless of lead time fences
Sometimes, a demand of a project attains high priority and requires immediate fulfillment, while the
project has insufficient inventory and lead time fences prevent ATT cost peg transfers from other projects.
When creating ATT cost peg transfers, the Enterprise Planning planning engine and the outbound
process offset the replenishment lead times of a potential originating project against the issue date of
Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging | 17
Master Data
the receiving project. If the replenishment date is after the issue date, no transfer is created and other
projects are checked.
To enable the creation of ATT cost peg transfers regardless of replenishment lead times:
1.
In the Project Pegging Parameters (tcpeg0100m000) session, select the Ignore ATT Time
Fence during Outbound check box.
2.
In the Cost Peg Transfer Rules (tcpeg1100m000) session, select the Use Available to Transfer
check box.
Consequently, the outbound process creates permanent transfers for all excess or ATT inventory that
belongs to other projects, and selects cost pegs to transfer from in the following sequence:
▪
▪
▪
Excess inventory inventory
ATT considering lead times
ATT regardless of lead times
The Enterprise Planning planning engine ignores the Ignore ATT Time Fence during Outbound check
box.
Note
If the lead times are ignored, the originating projects cannot be replenished in time through normal
planned replenishment orders, because these will arrive too late according to the replenishment lead
times. This may cause other cost peg transfers to be created to alleviate the shortages.
If you also select the Borrow/Loan and Payback check box in the Project Pegging Parameters
(tcpeg0100m000) session and specify Borrow / Loan in the Cost Peg Transfer Type field of the Cost
Peg Transfer Rules (tcpeg1100m000) session for the relevant project ranges, the outbound process
can generate borrow/loan transfers for ATT inventory.

Project pegging in Sales
To identify costs, demand, and supply for a project, you can implement project pegging and specify the
items for which project pegging is required. For more information, refer to Project pegging overview
(p. 9) .
Note
To use project pegging in combination with costing breaks, also select the Costing Breaks check box
in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. For more information, refer to
Costing Breaks (p. 103) .
Project pegging in Sales includes the pegging of project costs for sales order and quotation lines. If
project pegging is mandatory for the item on the sales order line or quotation line, a peg must be specified
in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) and Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) sessions. A peg
is a combination of project/ budget, project element and/or project activity. For example, if demand is
pegged for a sales order line, the goods are sold for and the costs are booked to the project, element,
and activity on the sales order line.
The peg is mandatory when planned inventory transactions are generated for the sales order line or
quotation line. For sales quotation lines this means the peg is not mandatory if the Probability Percentage
is lower than the value specified in the Minimum Probability % for Time Phased Inventory field of
the Sales Quotation Parameters (tdsls0100s100) session. However, when you confirm a sales quotation
line, the peg is always mandatory.
Note
If an item linked to an opportunity requires a peg, you can specify the peg in the Items by Opportunity
(tdsmi1113m000) session. However, using pegs for opportunities is always optional.
When generating a sales quotation line from an opportunity item line, the opportunity's peg is copied to
the Budget, Element for Budget, and Activity for Budget fields on the quotation line.
Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging | 19
Sales
When a sales quotation is processed to a sales order, the peg is copied as follows:
▪
▪
▪
If the Budget, Element for Budget, Activity for Budget, Project, Element for Project, and
Activity for Project fields are specified on a quotation line, the budget related peg fields are
ignored and the project peg fields are copied to the sales order line peg fields.
If only the Budget, Element for Budget, and Activity for Budget fields are specified on a
quotation line, these fields are copied to the sales order line peg fields.
If the Budget field is specified on the quotation header, this budget is copied to the project on
the sales order header. However, if one of the quotation lines has a project specified that
differs from the quotation line budget, the sales order header project is left empty.
The sales peg is copied to all relevant objects further in the process, such as Warehousing, Invoicing,
Procurement, or Shop Floor Control. If the target object uses peg distributions, the sales peg is copied
to a distribution line.
Note
If project pegging is implemented but a project peg is not mandatory for an item, you can optionally
specify a peg.
If a project pegged sales order requires supply from a business unit in a different logistical company, a
cost peg supplying relationship must be available to keep track of and link the cost peg data of the
demand and the supply business units during planning and transfer. For more information, refer to Using
cost peg supplying relationships (p. 21) .

Using cost peg supplying relationships
For large enterprises consisting of multiple business units, subassemblies manufactured in one business
unit often must be delivered to another business unit in another logistic company. If project cost pegging
is required, all costs must be tracked in both business units against their specific projects. In both
companies, projects are set up, and a cost peg supplying relationship must be defined to establish a
link between them. The cost peg supplying relationship links the demand cost peg from the demand
company to the supply cost peg from the supply company.
Master data
Before you can use cost peg supplying relationships, these conditions must be met:
▪
▪
▪
▪
The Project Pegging check box must be selected in the Implemented Software Components
(tccom0100s000) session for both companies.
The Inherit Project Peg or Mandatory Project Peg check boxes must be selected for the
component in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session.
A supplying relationship must be available for the component in the Supplying Relationships
(cprpd7130m000) session of the receiving company.
Identical item codes must be assigned to the component in both business units.
Note
If the Use Identical Cost Pegs for Multi-Company Warehouse Transfers check box is selected in
the Project Pegging Parameters (tcpeg0100m000) session, no user involvement is required to create
the cost peg supplying relationship. The receiving cost peg will use the same code as the supplying cost
peg, and vice versa. However, to use automatic cost peg generation, ensure that the same project,
activity, and element codes are used in the receiving and supplying company.
If the Use Identical Cost Pegs for Multi-Company Warehouse Transfers check box is cleared in the
Project Pegging Parameters (tcpeg0100m000) session, and if delivery of a subassembly from another
business unit is required, you must manually specify the cost peg supplying relationship in the Cost Peg
Supplying Relationships (tppss3130m000) session of the receiving company. An entry appears in the
Cost Peg Supplying Relationships (tppss3130m000) session of the supplying business unit to which

the supplying cost peg data must be added. Additionally, through SocialSpace, a message can be sent
to the supplying business unit to notify that the supplying cost peg must be added to this cost peg
supplying relationship.
After the supplying cost peg is added by the supplying business unit, the status of the cost peg supplying
relationship can be set to Completed. A cost peg supplying relationship with the Completed status can
be used on a planned distribution order or (manual) warehouse transfer.
Planned distribution orders and warehouse transfers
If a demand order needs supply from a business unit in a different logistical company, a multisite planned
distribution order is generated for the project pegged demand using the Generate Order Planning
(cprrp1210m000) session.
One planned distribution order can have multiple demand orders with different project pegs, and a peg
distribution. For each of these pegs, Enterprise Planning uses the applicable cost peg supplying
relationship to retrieve the project pegs for the planned inventory movements in the supplying company.
In the Transfer Order Planning (cppat1210m000) session of the receiving company, you can transfer a
multicompany, cost pegged planned distribution order only to a warehouse transfer and not to a purchase
order. The warehouse transfer uses the receiving and supplying cost pegs of the planned distribution
order.
Note
If the item is not cost pegged in the supplying company (the Inherit Project Peg and Mandatory Project
Peg check boxes are cleared), the supplying cost peg can remain empty.

Cost peg transfers in Enterprise Planning
These types of cost peg transfers are available in Enterprise Planning:
▪
Manual cost peg transfer
Orders for this type of transfer are retrieved from Warehousing and are considered firm planned
demand. You cannot create, updated, or delete these orders in order planning. You can view
these orders in the Item Order Plan (cprrp0520m000) session.
▪
Planned cost peg transfer
Orders for this type of transfer are created based on the available excess on hand and excess
on order. You can view these orders in the Item Order Plan (cprrp0520m000) session. A
transfer from a project peg is shown as a demand transaction and a transfer to a project peg
is shown as a supply transaction.
You can also view planned cost peg transfers in the Planned Cost Peg Transfers
(cprrp0130m000) session, which shows detailed information about the transfer.
Cost peg transfers in order planning
Order planning takes both manual cost peg transfers and planning cost peg transfers into account. The
manual cost peg transfers are treated as demand orders and the excess on hand and excess on order
are used to supply these transfers. If there is insufficient excess on hand or on order, a cancel exception
message is logged.
Planned cost peg transfers are created, updated, or deleted during the demand and supply matching
of the order planning run. The planned cost peg transfers are maintained by the order planning process
and cannot be changed.
Creating planned cost peg transfers
When excess on hand or excess on order is available that can be assigned to a cost peg, a planned
cost peg transfer is created to show the transfer of the cost peg. Transfer rules that apply to the excess
are verified in the Cost Peg Transfer Rules (tcpeg1100m000) session.

Updating and deleting planned cost peg transfers
Planned cost peg transfers that have the Planned status cannot be changed. Before the planning of a

Planned cost peg transfers with a status of Firm Planned or Confirmed cannot be changed by order
planning. The procedure for planned cost peg transfers is the same as for manual cost peg transfers.
The default status of a cost peg transfer is Planned. You can change the status of a cost peg to Firm
Planned or Confirmed.
Cost peg transfer exception messages
Cancellation exception messages can be logged for cost peg transfers. You can delete or regenerate
these exception messages in the Update Exception Messages (cprao1210m000) session.
Temporary cost peg transfers
You can transfer inventory between two projects. If the Borrow/Loan and Payback check box is selected
in the Project Pegging Parameters (tcpeg0100m000) session, there is no cost or billing impact.
The borrow/loan functionality allows the physical transfer of materials between projects for a limited
amount of time. The borrowing projects remain responsible for any additional costs incurred during the
time the loan is active.
If the Aging check box is selected in the Project Pegging Parameters (tcpeg0100m000) session, you
can specify time limits for the return of the borrowed inventory. If the loaned inventory cannot be
replenished on time by the borrowing project, the loan is converted into a permanent transfer.

Production orders
Production orders with peg information are created as follows:
▪
Transferred from Enterprise Planning
Peg information from planning is transferred during creation.
▪
Created manually
You can specify peg information based on the item settings such as Inherit Project Peg and
Mandatory Project Peg. The peg distributions that you specify are checked against
commingling rules to verify that the pegs can be on the same production order.
You can also specify a peg on a production order for an anonymous end item.
Note
When you print production order documents in the Print Production Order Documents (tisfc0408m000)
session, peg information is also printed.
Bill of material
Because you can modify the Inherit Project Peg setting for an item, inconsistencies in the BOM can
occur. To prevent inconsistencies, you must set up a multilevel bill of material that is validated when
you change the setting of an item.
Estimated materials
Estimated materials can be updated with peg information from a production order. Each material line
requires its own peg distribution that is sent to planned inventory transactions. You cannot change the
peg information in the peg distribution for an estimated material line. For each line, the quantity is prorated
based on the planned quantity that is required per peg.
Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging | 27
Manufacturing
Material issue
When parts that are project pegged are issued to a production order, the associated costs are updated
in that production order. Because the material costs are already included in the production order, the
project costs are not updated.
If there is a shortage of pegged inventory on a peg, and excess inventory is available from another peg,
transfer rules determine whether inventory can be transferred between pegs.
When anonymous items are issued to a peg production order, costs are updated in the project ledger
and in the production order. When a customer furnished material item is issued to a production order,
costs are not updated in the project ledger or production order.
Safety stock calculation
You can, for non-mandatory project pegged items, receive orders for an inventory item to fulfill project
pegged demand, and at the same time adjust the safety stock. The supply order is a combined distribution
of project pegged demand and safety stock demand (no project peg).
An item that is not project pegged can be used to fulfill project pegged demand and also adjust the safety
stock at the same time. In this case, the supply order includes a combined distribution of project pegged
demand and safety stock demand (no project peg).
Note
If the supply for a specific project cost account is excluded from commingling, this supply cannot be
combined with the supply for safety stock.
Report operations completed
The distribution line to choose when reporting a certain end item quantity complete is based on priority
of the different lines. The priority is determined by requirement or need date and by the distribution line
sequence of the project pegs. To always work with correct values the Generate Order Planning (Item)
(cprrp1220m000) and Generate Pegging Relations Forecast - Confirmed Supply (cpvmi1212m000)
sessions must be run regularly.
For a specific production order and project peg, Enterprise Planning can specify zero, one or more
requirement dates with a specific quantity for each.
If more than one date exists for a distribution line, they may not be reported completed for the full quantity,
but partially per the different requirement dates.

Project pegging in Procurement
To identify costs, demand, and supply for a project, you can implement project pegging. You can also
specify the items for which project pegging is required. For more information, refer to Project pegging
overview (p. 9) .
Note
To use project pegging in combination with costing breaks, you must select the Costing Breaks check
box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. For more information, refer
to Costing Breaks (p. 103) .
Project pegging in Procurement includes pegging of project costs for purchase documents, such as
requisitions, requests for quotation, purchase orders, and purchase (push) schedules. If the item specified
for the purchase document requires a peg, a peg distribution must be linked to the document. As a
result, the required quantity of the parent document is distributed across distribution lines for combinations
of project/budget, project element and/or project activity. For example, if a distribution is used to peg
the ordered quantity of a purchase order line, the purchased goods and the related costs are booked
to these projects, elements, and activities.
Generating a peg distribution
When you save a purchase document line, a peg distribution can be generated in the Purchase Peg
Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session. A peg distribution can be manually specified or automatically
defaulted from other documents.

Commingling pegs
If purchase order/schedule lines are project pegged, commingling of pegs is subject to project combination
checks. Commingling rules specified in Project Pegging in Common, determine if lines with different
pegs can be commingled into one purchase order line or purchase schedule. In general, commingling
is executed by planning group, which includes the commingling rules for the linked projects. However,
commingling for export license required items is restricted by project. This means if projects are different,
separate purchase order lines or purchase schedules are created. To further restrict commingling, you
can specify commingling exceptions, which are the pegs that must be excluded from commingling.
Example
Project 1 with activity 10 and project 1 with activity 20, have a requirement for an export licensed item.
▪
▪
Without an exception: One purchase order line with two distribution lines are created.
With an exception for one or both of the activities: One purchase order line per project peg,
one purchase order with two purchase order lines are created.
30 | Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging
Procurement
Note
If commingling of pegs is not allowed, a new purchase schedule header must be created when generating
schedule lines from Enterprise Planning. Therefore, multiple active schedules with the same item,
buy-from business partner, ship-from business partner, purchase office, and warehouse can be available.
Handling peg data
If the purchased goods and related costs are booked to only one project, the peg is displayed on the
purchase document line. When you save the line, LN creates one distribution line for the peg distribution.
Peg fields, quantities, or the ordered amount can be updated on both the parent document line and the
distribution line, before the lines are synchronized. If additional pegs (distribution lines) are specified in
the peg distribution, the peg fields are cleared on the parent document line and the quantities or ordered
amount are unavailable. The sum of the quantities or ordered amounts on the peg distribution can be
updated to the quantities or ordered amount on the parent document line. If the peg distribution's total
quantity differs from the quantity on the parent document line, a message with regards to updating the
parent document line is displayed: Peg distribution quantity does not match line total. Click OK to
update 'Total'.
If the Manual Project Peg Modification check box is selected in the Project Pegging Parameters
(tcpeg0100m000) session, for all manual actions that affect a peg distribution, you must specify a change
reason in the pegged purchase document. The project peg changes and reason codes are logged in
the Cost Peg Audit History (tpctm2500m000) session for analysis.
Note
▪
▪
The reason code applies to the entire peg distribution. So, when you change a single line in
a peg distribution, the reason code is applied to all pegs in the peg distribution.
A message is displayed if a change reason is required. Based on the session, you must specify
the change reason either in a field or window. If you do not specify a change reason, you
cannot save the pegged purchase document.
Warehouse receipts
For partial warehouse receipts, pegs with the highest priority receive the quantities. The priority of the
peg is based on the required date and quantity, as specified in Enterprise Planning, for the required
purchase line. The peg with the earliest required date has the highest priority.
If the required date and quantity cannot be retrieved from Enterprise Planning, the following is applicable:
▪
▪
Purchase order lines
The priority is based on the dates specified for the inbound order line peg distribution.
Purchase schedule lines
The priority is based on the dates specified for the purchase schedule line peg distribution.
Schedule lines are not linked to individual inbound order lines because, for push schedules,
goods are received against a blanket warehouse order, which is linked to the schedule header.
During the receipt process for a required quantity, the pegs that match the total quantity to be
received for the schedule lines are transferred to Warehousing for use in the receipt process.
Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging | 31
Procurement
These schedule lines are transferred, based on line position and the (oldest) planned receipt
date. The generated warehouse receipt line peg distribution is a subset of the (aggregated)
peg distribution of the schedule lines.
When a receipt is confirmed, the peg distribution (order line) or peg distribution data (schedule line) is
copied from the warehouse receipt line to the purchase order/schedule receipt. You cannot update the
peg distribution for the purchase order/schedule receipt.
If a receipt correction or an inspection is performed for a receipt line in Warehousing, based on the
priority specified for the peg distribution, the peg distribution lines are also updated with the modified
quantity. Based on the Warehouse Receipt Distribution Line field in Warehousing, the related
distribution lines are updated in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session.
Purchase receipts
For partial purchase receipts and invoice handling, priority rules are not used. Partial purchase receipts
are proportionally distributed across the peg distribution lines. You cannot update pegging information
on the purchase receipt. However, if a parent document line and the linked distribution line(s) include
an ordered amount and no ordered quantity, you can change the ordered amount after receipt in the
Change Price and Discounts after Receipt (tdpur4122m000) session. If the received amount is changed
for the order line, the amount change is proportionally distributed across the peg distribution lines.

transactions are booked by peg.
Optional peg distribution
If project pegging is implemented but a project peg is not mandatory for an item, you can
optionally specify a peg (distribution).
Requisition generated from catalog
If a purchase requisition line is generated from a catalog and the selected item requires a
mandatory peg, the requisition line can be inserted without a peg distribution. LN does not
check the availability of a purchase distribution before the requisition is submitted for approval.
Peg distribution and RFQ response line
After a bidder is linked to an RFQ, a record is inserted in the RFQ Responses (tdpur1506m000)

response line when the status is set to Accepted. A peg distribution that is linked to a response
line with the Accepted status cannot be updated.
Landed costs
If landed costs are linked to an order/schedule line with a peg distribution, the landed costs
are proportionally calculated by peg and transferred to the Integration Transactions

line, the Amount of the stage payment line is distributed across the distribution lines. The peg
distribution is created when the stage payment line is approved and is deleted if the stage
payment line is unapproved. For more information, refer to Pegging stage payment lines.
Subcontracting with material flow
For project pegged orders, operations or items can be subcontracted. In case of a project
pegged subcontracting order with material flow, a peg distribution is linked to the Purchase
Order Material Supply Line. For more information, refer to Pegging material supply lines for
operation and item subcontracting (p. 33) .
Backorders
Backorder lines are handled as independent order lines. During backorder creation, the original
distribution line number is specified in the Parent Distribution Line field of the Purchase Peg
Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session. You can change, add, and delete peg distribution lines
for a backorder line. The backorder line pegs need not be equal to the parent object line pegs.
However, if the backorder line is linked to a purchase line for item subcontracting, you cannot
add new pegs or modify the project, element, or activity of a distribution line that is linked to
the backorder line.

Amount is distributed across distribution lines for combinations of project/budget, project element and/or
project activity. The peg information in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session includes
the line number for the peg in the distribution, the peg (project, element, activity), and the stage payment

always project pegged. Costing breaks can apply to direct the costs of the subcontracted operation to
a specific project cost account. If (production material) costing breaks are used, a purchase order line's
peg can differ from the peg on the material supply line.
For item subcontracting, the subcontracted purchase orders can include materials that inherit the project
pegs, or can include anonymous materials. The pegged materials are stored in inventory and are shipped
to the subcontractor with project pegged orders.
Note
The Project Pegged Inventory check box in the Purchase Order Material Supply Lines (tdpur4116m000)
session determines if project pegged or anonymous inventory is utilized when issuing components to
the subcontractor. This also determines if pegged or unpegged consumptions are performed.
In case of a project pegged order, a peg distribution is linked to the Purchase Order Material Supply
Line in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session. For a specific purchase order line
(detail) and material sequence, the material supply line's Order and Consumption quantities are
distributed across the peg distribution lines for combinations of project/budget, project element, and/or
project activity. The peg information in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session includes
the line number for the peg in the distribution, the peg (project, element, activity), and the material supply
line quantity by peg. The peg distribution cannot be manually created and must always be generated
using the parent.
For operation subcontracting, the purchase order line, the material supply line, and the linked peg
distributions are generated by Shop Floor Control (SFC) and can only be updated by SFC.
For item subcontracting, the purchase order line, the material supply line, and the peg distributions are
generated by Procurement. A material supply line's peg distribution can be updated only from the parent,
that is the purchase order line, the purchase order line peg distribution, or the material supply line. If a
purchase order line's distribution line is changed, and no quantities are received or consumed yet, the
pegged fields on the linked material supply lines are synchronized to the updated distribution line in the
Purchase Order Material Supply Lines (tdpur4116m000) session. However, if a different quantity
distribution is applicable, the quantities of the material supply lines' distribution lines are redetermined

Consuming pegged components
If the Project Pegged Inventory check box is selected in the Purchase Order Material Supply Lines
(tdpur4116m000) session, pegged consumptions are performed.
For operation subcontracting, consumptions are handled by Shop Floor Control. For item subcontracting,
consumptions are handled by Purchase Control. The consumptions are updated using backflushing,
consumption messages, or through manual consumption.
▪
Backflushing
The distribution line number constitutes the link between the pegs of the received end item

Consumption messages
If consumption messages are used to inform the manufacturer about the consumption of
components, the subcontractor does not know whether the order is pegged.
The total consumption quantity of the consumption message is assigned to the following levels,

If backflushing is used, you can manually adjust the consumed quantity of the material supply
lines. The inventory is increased or decreased using the pegs.
Positive adjustment
More components are used than calculated by the backflushing mechanism. The total
adjustment consumption quantity is divided pro rata across the pegs.
Negative adjustment
Backflushed inventory is returned to inventory.

Return Rejects orders
Pegging
LN takes the peg information for the purchase return order from the order from which the purchase
return order was generated. For items rejected during receipt, this is the information from the receipt
line pegs of the warehousing order related to the originating purchase order. For items rejected during
issue, this is the information of the outbound order line pegs of the warehousing order related to the
purchase return order. LN selects the pegs having a quantity in quarantine.
The quarantine quantities are displayed in the Quarantine Inventory field of the Receipt Line Peg
Distribution (whinh3528m000) and Outbound Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh2190m000) sessions.
The quantities to be returned are subtracted from the quarantine inventory and subsequently the project
inventory.
For the pegs involved, the return quantity is first subtracted from the pegs whose original receipt line or
outbound order line peg quantity exceeded the ordered quantity. The overdelivered quantity to be
subtracted is equally apportioned to each peg.
If this does not cover the entire return quantity, the remaining quantity to be returned is subtracted from
the pegs whose original receipt line or outbound order line peg quantity exceeded the required quantity
in sequence of peg line number: first line number 10, then 20, and so on.
Next, if this still leaves a quantity to be returned, the return quantity is subtracted from the remaining
pegs starting with the peg with the latest requirement date.
You cannot manually change the quantities to be returned on the purchase return order. You can only
change these quantities by changing the purchase return order line pegs.

Peg distributions
Peg distribution in the inbound and inspection processes
Receiving project pegged goods into a warehouse results in inventory transactions that are based on
the underlying peg distribution of the related receipt line.
Inbound and pegging
This results in an update of the pegged inventory levels in the Project Pegged Inventory
(whwmd2560m000) session. The planned quantity of the inbound order line is updated in the Planned
Inventory Transactions (whinp1500m000) session, which also includes the peg data. Planned inventory
transactions are also generated for each peg.
If the receipt line is marked for inspection, the received quantity is blocked. Depending on the parameter
settings, the quantity can also be blocked for usage by Enterprise Planning. Any quantity, rejected (or
destroyed) during receipt inspection are assigned to the pegs having the latest required date to make
sure that the approved items are assigned as much as possible to the pegs with the earliest required
date in order to meet the demand in time.
Project warehouses
For a ship-from or ship-to warehouse, that is a project or a project-WIP warehouse, no inbound/outbound
order line peg distribution is created. Instead, the project fields on the inbound/outbound order lines are
used. When however, an inbound/outbound order line is created for a project pegged item related to a
normal warehouse, a peg distribution is applicable and the project fields on the inbound/outbound order
lines are disabled.
Inbound order line peg distribution
For an inbound order line, the peg distribution data can only be viewed and not maintained. In case of
manual transfer orders, the peg distribution can only be maintained (manually) on the outbound order
Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging | 37
Warehousing
line. When an outbound transfer line is saved after the peg distribution is modified, the inbound transfer
order line peg distribution changes accordingly.
Cost and service Items
For order lines with a cost or service item, also a peg distribution can exist, but assigning the received
quantities of these item types to the peg lines is always performed pro-rata. This peg distribution data
is only essential for proper cost allocation to projects/pegs and has no logistic purpose as these items
are non-physical entities. When ordering zero pieces of a certain cost/service item, also a peg distribution
can be created, consisting of only one peg line.
Warehouse receipts
▪
Receipt line peg distribution
When confirming a receipt line, LN creates a peg distribution under the receipt line. In addition,
peg distribution receipt data is recorded for future auditability in the Receipt Line Peg Distribution
Audit (whinh3579m000) session if the Project Peg Receipt Transactions check box is
selected in the Project Pegging Parameters (tcpeg0100m000) session.
The sequence of assigning received items to pegs is based on the earliest required dates and
required quantities retrieved from Enterprise Planning.
If an inbound line contains multiple pegs and the received quantity deviates from the ordered
quantity, the received quantity must be apportioned to the peg distribution lines according to
the priority determined by the earliest required date as specified in Enterprise Planning. The
peg distribution lines are generated when the receipt is confirmed.
Sometimes, the order quantity of the order exceeds the total required quantity of the item,
resulting in an excess quantity. The excess is determined in Enterprise Planning, in which
case the distribution lines have no demand order reference and an empty required date. Any
excess on top of the required quantity (not exceeding the ordered quantity) is assigned to the
pegs in peg line sequence. Any excess that is received on top of the ordered quantity is
proportionally distributed to the peg lines based on the ratio of ordered quantities.
▪
Updating planned inventory transactions/inventory levels
When confirming a receipt line, the planned inventory transactions are updated, based on the
received quantities of the corresponding receipt line peg distribution. So, the planned inventory
transactions are recorded on project peg level.
When confirming a receipt line, the inventory on hand is increased in the Warehouse - Item
Inventory (whwmd2515m000) session. Similarly, the inventory on hand must be increased in
the Project Pegged Inventory (whwmd2560m000) session, based on the received quantities

are fulfilled.
b. The pegs having unfulfilled ordered quantities (and no required quantities anymore) are
received in sequence of peg line.
c. Any excess on top of the ordered quantity is proportionally assigned to the pegs.
When the full order line quantity is received on the linked receipt line, for each order line peg,
a receipt line is created and the total of the received quantities per peg line is equal to the
ordered quantity.
▪
Back Orders
For a confirmed receipt line, if the received quantity is less than the expected quantity, the
difference must be resolved in Purchase Control by processing the created back order (if
allowed). This back order is received on another inbound line with a peg line distribution for
the pegs that are not fully received.
When the back order line is received and confirmed, a receipt line peg distribution is created
for the remaining pegs received.
▪
Receipt Corrections
You can use the Receipt Correction (whinh3121s000) session to change the confirmed received
quantity. Increasing the already received quantity leads to a positive receipt correction. The
additional received quantity is assigned to the pegs in the same way as the initial receipt.
a. The pegs having the earliest required date are received first.
b. The pegs having unfulfilled ordered quantities are received in sequence of peg line.
c. Any excess on top of the ordered quantity is proportionally assigned to the pegs.
Decreasing the already received quantity leads to a negative receipt correction.
When the received quantity is decreased, the change in received quantity is distributed across
the received pegs as follows:
a. Any excess on top of the ordered quantity is decreased proportionally.
b. The received excess on top of the required quantity, but less than the ordered quantity,
is decreased in sequence of the peg line.
c. Any remaining received quantity is decreased in the sequence of the latest required date.
Inbound procedure - inspection
The Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session does not have a peg distribution. Registration
of inspected/rejected quantities takes place in the peg distribution available under the receipt lines which
roll up into the inbound order line peg distribution.
Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging | 39
Warehousing
Generally, inventory subject to warehouse inspections remains blocked. Similarly, the project pegged
inventory to be inspected remains blocked. After processing the inspection, the planned inventory
transactions and the inventory levels are updated accordingly, by peg level.
Approved quantities are assigned first to peg lines having the earliest required date. Rejected or destroyed
quantities are assigned first to the peg lines having the latest required dates. In case of excess quantities,
the excess quantities must be utilized first. The rejected or destroyed quantities are distributed based
on the actual received quantities of the receipt line (not on the total values of the related inbound order
line). The updated receipt line peg information is rolled up to the level of the inbound order line peg
distribution.
Outbound procedure - inspection
The Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session does not have a peg distribution. There is also
no specific peg distribution related to the outbound advice. Inspected rejected quantities are registered
in the Outbound Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh2190m000) session.
Generally, inventory scheduled for outbound inspections remains blocked. Similarly, the project pegged
inventory to be inspected remains blocked. After processing the inspection, the planned inventory
transactions and the inventory levels are updated accordingly, by peg level.
Update outbound order line pegs
The To be Inspected in Inventory Unit field in the Outbound Order Line Peg Distribution
(whinh2190m000) session includes the advised peg quantity that is already released and is subject to
inspection.
The following conditions are applicable to handle the outbound order line pegs during warehouse
inspections:
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
For each released outbound advice, an inspection line is created. At this point, the To be
Inspected in Inventory Unit is defined and apportioned to the pegs in sequence of earliest
required date.
When the advised quantity of the earliest peg is fully assigned as To be Inspected in Inventory
Unit, the remainder of the released quantity is assigned to the To be Inspected in Inventory
Unit of the next peg with the earliest required date and so on.
Any approved quantities are assigned to the pegs in sequence of the earliest required date.
Any rejected quantities are assigned to the pegs in sequence of latest required date. But in
case of over delivery (Advised quantity > Ordered Quantity), the excess must be consumed
first in sequence of earliest required date.
The To be Inspected in Inventory Unit of the pegs is blocked for inspection.
While processing an inspection record, any approved or rejected quantity is apportioned only
to the pegs that have a To be Inspected in Inventory Unit. This To be Inspected in Inventory
Unit is consumed by the approved and rejected quantities assigned to the peg. Effectively,
the blocked quantity is decreased for the quantity processed.

Peg distribution in the outbound process
During the outbound process, issuing project pegged goods from a warehouse results in inventory
transactions that are based on the peg distribution.
During the outbound advice and during inspections, the outbound order line cost peg distribution is
updated with the advised quantities, approved quantities and the rejected quantities. When the goods
arrive at the staging location and are shipped, the actual pegs are created. During the confirmation
process, the shipment line peg distribution is created.
Generating outbound advice
While generating an outbound advice for a pegged outbound order line, additional inventory checks are
performed to determine the pegged inventory that must be advised. LN first searches for the available
stock points. If the stock point is identified, the outbound order line cost peg distribution is advised based
on the available quantity at the stock point and the available quantity in the project pegged inventory.
The peg distribution is based on the earliest required date.
When determining the quantity that must be advised for each separate peg line, this calculation is
performed before searching for the project pegged inventory:
Quantity to be advised = Required Quantity - Advised Quantity - Rejected
Quantity
- Shipped Quantity - Not Shipped Quantity - Expected Not Shipped Quantity
Quantity to be advised = Minimum (To be distributed (Stock point Quantity),
To be Advised )
This table explains the quantity that must be advised:

Create outbound advice despite inventory shortage
LN does not allow you to generate an outbound advice with an advised quantity higher than the total
advised quantities of the related outbound order line cost peg distribution.
Outbound advice ownership
LN automatically generates the outbound advice ownership when the outbound advice is created if the
outbound line is project pegged. LN does not allow you to change the ownership distribution for the
project pegged order lines. The ownership distribution is based on the issue ownership set on the
outbound order line.
LN does not allow you to generate ownership distribution or insert, modify, delete records for pegged
outbound order lines in the Outbound Advice Ownership (whinh4128m000) session.
Inventory search engine
Inventory selection during the process of generating an outbound advice must be changed to support
the project pegged inventory. When demand for a pegged item is advised, the process takes care of
these peg distribution lines. So, the inventory search engine logic is extended to support the project
pegged inventory.
The initial point of these steps is that the inventory on item warehouse level is found. The search
sequence for inventory:
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
Search for available inventory with the required peg.
Search for available cost peg transfer orders (cost peg transfer orders created by Enterprise
Planning or manually entered).
Search for available excess.
Search for available to transfer (non-excess inventory).
Unpegged inventory.
58 | Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging
Warehousing
▪
Alternative Items.
Manual outbound advice
For a manually created outbound advice, when there is insufficient inventory to allocate for the manually
entered advised quantity, LN displays an error message. The cost peg transfer logic is also executed.
Manual changes on outbound advice
When you modify the outbound advice quantity, LN updates the advised quantity on the underlying peg
distribution.
In case of a decrease in the quantity, a peg redistribution is initiated. The decrease in advised quantity
must be based on the latest required date. For example:

Undo outbound advice
When an advice is removed, the advised quantity on the deleted outbound advice line must be removed
from the outbound order line cost peg distribution.
Process pick
When the user processes the picking list, LN also processes the pending cost peg transfers for the
outbound advice that is picked.
Outbound advice for returns
Advising is done based on the latest required date; the pegs with the latest required date are advised
first.

Creation of shipment line cost peg distribution
When the shipment lines are confirmed, the shipment line cost peg distribution is created for shipment
lines related to an outbound order line that is pegged. The shipped quantities are distributed over the
pegs for the shipment lines. The distribution is explained in these examples:

Underdeliveries and overdeliveries
For underdeliveries, the quantity not delivered must be distributed on the peg distribution, beginning
with the peg line with the latest required date. For overdeliveries, the quantity overdelivered must be
distributed equally over the available peg lines for the outbound order line.
Not shipped quantities
The peg line distribution data is transferred to the transfer order / adjustment order only if a not-shipped
quantity exists on peg distribution. During the confirmation process the not-shipped quantity is updated
on the outbound order line cost peg distribution and the shipment line cost peg distribution.
Shipments for returns
When the items are not shipped to the destination, but are shipped back to the origin, a reverse required
date priority is applied when generating the shipment line cost peg distribution during the confirmation
of the return shipment line. As item inventory is decreased, LN changes the pegged inventory with the
latest required dates.
Cost peg transfers
Cost peg transfers enable transfer of costs between two different pegs (pegged to unpegged and vice
versa). The cost peg transfers do not physically move the inventory but only transfer the costs of the
inventory. Cost peg transfers are performed within the same warehouse. It is not possible to transfer
the goods across warehouses. For more information, refer to Cost peg transfers in Warehousing (p. 76)
Transfer (manual) orders / Transfer orders
LN allows you to use an inbound and outbound cost peg distribution to specify transfer manual orders
to transfer actual goods between warehouses. LN generates the outbound order line cost peg distribution
based on the project pegged inventory. The cost peg distribution can also be created manually and
transferred to the inbound line cost peg distribution.
Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging | 65
Warehousing
Change warehouse order at a later stage
LN allows you to modify the outbound warehousing order data related to the sales order/schedule. The
data can be modified for warehousing orders of all origins. You can also define up to which outbound
procedure step the data can be modified. For more information, refer to To modify the outbound
warehousing order data.
Additional costs on shipment header/line
When the cost item that is mandatory pegged is added as additional cost to the shipment, the cost item
is not displayed because LN cannot decipher which pegs must be added to the additional cost line.
When the cost item that is mandatory pegged is added as additional costs on the shipment line, or when
the parent shipment line has a peg distribution, LN copies the peg distribution data to the additional cost
line. The cost peg distribution of this additional cost line is transferred to the sales cost order. For more
information, refer to Additional costs - shipment based
Interchangeable effectivity units for outbound process
The effectivity units can be interchanged when there is no inventory available for the ordered effectivity
unit.
For project pegged outbound order lines, when there is no inventory available for the ordered effectivity
unit, LN allows you to interchange effectivity units.

Peg distribution for cycle counting and adjustment orders
The implementation of the project pegging functionality impacts the cycle counting and adjustment
processes due to inventory variances.
Note
The Based on field shows how project pegs are generated:
▪
▪
For a cycle counting order line in the Cycle Counting Order Line Peg Distribution
(whinh5107m000) session.
For an adjustment order line in the Adjustment Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh5127m000)
session.
If project pegging is implemented, LN creates a peg distribution line before the cycle counting order or
adjustment order is processed. The peg distribution line can also include a blank peg. The remaining
quantity or the total quantity is then processed as unpegged.
Note
Blank pegs are not allowed if the Mandatory Project Peg check box in the Items (tcibd0501m000)
session is selected.
After the cycle counting orders or adjustment orders are generated, the proposed peg distribution can
be generated only if the warehouse is not a project warehouse. To generate a peg distribution for:
▪
▪
A cycle counting order, use the Cycle Counting Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh5107m000)
session.
An adjustment order, use the Adjustment Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh5127m000)
session.
If the peg distribution is not correct, the processing of the cycle counting order or adjustment order is
discontinued and a message is displayed. If the peg distribution is incomplete, LN creates the peg
distribution with the remaining data, which is saved in the:
▪
▪
Cycle Counting Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh5107m000) session for cycle counting
orders
Adjustment Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh5127m000) session for adjustment orders
Note
When adjustment orders are generated as part of another process in LN, for example, rejection of goods
during inspection, the peg distribution is created by this process and is processed by LN.
Peg distribution - gains and losses
When a pegged balance is impacted as a result of cycle counting or an inventory adjustment, the
inventory at the peg level must also be adjusted. An increase of the inventory quantity at peg level is
referred to as a gain and a decrease of the inventory quantity is referred to as a loss. The gain and loss
balances can be viewed in the Project Pegged Inventory (whwmd2560m000) session. The pegged
74 | Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging
Warehousing
inventory that is affected by the gain or loss in the inventory is also recorded. LN applies a priority
sequence when assigning gains and losses to the project cost pegs.
Priority sequence for gains
1.
For pegs that were previously subject to a loss:
a. Pegs without excess inventory and without available to transfer (ATT) inventory, with an
economic shortage and in sequence of earliest requirement date. LN considers economic
shortage quantity.
b. Pegs without excess and without available to transfer inventory and without an economic
shortage, in alphabetical order. LN considers full quantity for the peg.
c. Pegs without excess and with available to transfer inventory, in alphabetical order. LN
considers full quantity for the peg.
d. Pegs with excess (in alphabetical order). LN considers full quantity for the peg.
e. Inventory associated with a blank peg.
2.
For pegs that were not previously subject to a loss:
a. Pegs without excess and without available to transfer inventory and with an economic
shortage and in sequence of earliest requirement date. LN considers economic shortage
quantity.
b. Pegs without excess and without available to transfer inventory and without an economic
shortage, in alphabetical order. LN considers full quantity for the peg.
c. Pegs without excess and with available to transfer inventory, in alphabetical order. LN
considers full quantity for the peg.
d. Pegs with excess (in alphabetical order). LN considers the full quantity for the Peg.
e. Inventory associated with a blank peg.
Priority sequence for losses
1.
For pegs that were previously subject to a gain. In case of multiple pegs, the pegs are selected
in alphabetical order. LN checks for pegs:
a. With excess, LN considers the excess quantity.
b. With available to transfer inventory, LN considers the available to transfer inventory quantity.
c. Without excess and without available to transfer inventory in sequence of latest requirement
date first and considers full quantity for the peg
d. Inventory associated with a blank peg.
2.
Pegs that were not previously subject to a gain, LN checks for pegs:
a. With an excess inventory balance greater than zero and LN considers the excess quantity.
b. With an available to transfer inventory balance and LN considers the available to transfer
inventory quantity.

Cost peg transfers
Cost peg transfers in Warehousing
The cost peg transfer functionality enables the transfer of costs between two different pegs, from pegged
to unpegged and vice versa. The cost peg transfers do not physically move the inventory but only transfer
the costs of the inventory. Cost peg transfers are performed within the same warehouse. It is not possible
to transfer the goods across warehouses.
When a cost peg transfer is processed, the changes are permanent (when excess inventory is moved).
However, the inventory can be transferred back.
The source peg and the target peg can be either unpegged inventory (no project, element and activity
filled) or pegged inventory (belonging to a project, element and/ or activity). For a cost peg transfer line,
either the source peg or the target peg must be specified. The cost peg transfer also changes the
allocations within the inventory - Transfer Allocated (from peg) and Transfer on Order (to peg).
Cost peg transfers can be generated from these sources within LN:

Manual
Mass Project Cost Peg Transfer
Enterprise Planning
The cost peg transfers are created in Enterprise Planning during the planning runs and can be transferred
to Warehousing by the user or by LN. The cost peg transfers are generated to handle shortages, using
the Project Pegged Inventory (whwmd2560m000) session, identified during the planning run. When you
process the cost peg transfer, the cost is transferred from the source peg to the target peg. Financial
transactions are created during the processing of the cost peg transfer.
Outbound Advice
Cost peg transfers can be created to handle shortages when outbound advice is generated. If shortages
occur, LN searches for an open cost peg transfer and links it to the outbound advice. The cost peg
transfer is processed when the outbound advice is picked, or can be processed manually.
If the shortage is not met, a cost peg transfer is created if excess inventory or available to transfer (ATT)
inventory is present for a different peg. The excess inventory and ATT inventory is transferred to the
pegs with the inventory shortage.
76 | Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging
Warehousing
Manual
LN allows you to manually create cost peg transfers. These are not created by a specific process. You
can determine which pegged inventory must be transferred.
Mass Project Cost Peg Transfer
Mass cost peg transfers are created by executing a separate process that allows the user to transfer all
excess inventories from a source peg to a target peg.
Processing cost peg transfers
While processing the cost peg transfer, LN:
1.
Checks the inventory level of the source peg. In case of insufficient inventory, the cost peg
transfer is not processed.
2.
Moves the quantity of the cost peg transfer from the source peg to the target peg.
3.
Creates financial transactions for the cost peg transfer.
The cost peg transfer can be processed manually or automatically during the picking process. Manual
processing can be performed using an option or by a batch session available in all the cost peg transfer
sessions.
Changes on the cost peg transfer
LN allows you to modify the cost peg transfer of all origins. In case of insufficient inventory, the cost peg
transfers are not processed. The cost peg transfer that is linked to an outbound advice cannot be
modified.
In case the cost peg transfer quantity increases, and the excess and ATT inventory of the source peg
no longer meets the requirement, LN checks for the inventory available on the source peg. If inventory
is available, LN displays a warning message that the transfer includes the goods that are not moved
from excess and ATT inventory. In case the inventory is not sufficient, LN displays an error message.
Changes on the outbound advice
If the advised quantity is increased on the outbound advice, the cost peg transfers linked to the outbound
advice are also updated (if there is enough inventory), or a new cost peg transfer is created to match
the advised quantity.
Example
Increase the advised quantity:

Splitting the cost peg transfer
During the generate outbound advice run, shortages if identified, are met using the existing cost peg
transfers. The two scenarios are:
▪
▪
Quantity on the cost peg transfer is more than the shortage quantity
Quantity on the cost peg transfer is less than the shortage quantity
If the cost peg transfer quantity is more than the shortage quantity, the total cost peg transfer quantity
is not utilized. A new cost peg transfer is created (with the same origin) with a quantity equal to the
shortage quantity. Therefore, the quantity of the original cost peg transfer is reduced.
If the cost peg transfer quantity is less than the shortage quantity, the cost peg transfer must be updated
with the outbound advice. LN checks for other cost peg transfers that can be used to handle the shortage.

Project pegging in depot repair
Overview
In Service, you can implement project pegging in the Depot Repair module. You can peg the service
cost to a project, element, and/or an activity.
To peg a project, specify the project, element, and/or activity information for the call, the contract, the
maintenance sales quotation, maintenance sales orders or work orders. You must select the Mandatory
Project Peg check box in the Item (tcibd0101s000) session if defining the PCA ID is mandatory to peg
the cost of the item to the project.
Initiation of the pegged transaction
The peg is initiated only when a business process is started for transactions that register actual costs.
For Example Calls and Maintenance Sales orders.
Project Cost Account is an account where the cost is pegged. Costs are pegged through Project Cost
Account ID. You can populate the PCA ID:
▪
By entering the PCA ID when you create a new call, contract, maintenance sales quotation,
maintenance sales order, or an external work order.
▪
By specifying the PCA ID on the service contract. You can also enter the PCA ID manually.
Propagation of the peg in the depot repair process
The PCA ID is propagated to the resulting transaction ( Example, from call to MSO to Work order). You
can change the PCA ID until the status of the call / contract / maintenance sales quotation / maintenance
sales order / work order changes.
Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging | 83
Service
Propagation of the peg to service contract and configuration lines
In Service, the service contract can determine whether the call / contract / maintenance sales quotation
/ maintenance sales order / work order, linked to the service contract, retrieves the PCA ID from the
contract. By default, the configuration lines retrieve the PCA ID from the service contract header. These
PCA IDs on the configuration line are propagated to the maintenance sales quotation lines, maintenance
sales order part lines, and work orders.
Note
You can define the PCA ID for service contracts that have the status 'Free' or 'Active'.
Propagation of the peg to a call
The PCA ID of the call is retrieved from the service contract header by default, if the call is related to a
service contract. You can specify or modify the PCA ID if the call status is ‘Free’. You must specify the
reason for the modification.
If the call is solved without being transferred ( Example to a maintenance sales order or service order),
the call can be invoiced. The costs are booked to the corresponding PCAs. The cost component is used
to identify the appropriate project cost type using cost mapping in the Cost Mappings (tcmcs0149m000)
session.
Propagation of the peg to the maintenance sales quotations
LN defaults the PCA ID of the quotation header line either from a service call, or a maintenance sales
order part line, or a work order. If the PCA ID is not defaulted from these origins, LN defaults the ID from
the service contract configuration line if the serialized item is linked to a service contract. You can specify
or change the PCA ID, if the maintenance sales quotation status is ‘Free’.
Propagation of the peg to the maintenance sales order
LN defaults the PCA ID of the maintenance sales order from the originating call or maintenance sales
quotation. The PCA ID of the order part line is defaulted from a service call or maintenance sales order
part line. If the PCA ID is not defaulted from these origins, LN defaults the ID from the service contract
configuration line in case the serialized item is linked to a service contract. You can enter or change the
PCA ID, if the maintenance sales quotation status is ‘Free’.
Propagation of the peg to the work order for MSO part line
By default, the PCA ID is retrieved from the maintenance sales order. If the installation group or the item
is linked to a service contract, the PCA ID is retrieved from the service contract configuration line. If the
PCA ID is not defaulted from these origins, LN defaults the ID from the service contract configuration
line in case the serialized item is linked to a service contract. You can specify or change the PCA ID, if
the maintenance sales quotation status is ‘Free’.
84 | Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging
Service
Propagation of the peg to the work order linked /originating from a
maintenance sales order
LN defaults the PCA ID of the work order (linked/originating from maintenance sales order) from the
service contract configuration line, if the serialized item is linked to a service contract. If the PCA ID is
not defaulted from these origins, LN defaults the ID from the service contract configuration line in case
the serialized item is linked to a service contracts. You can specify or change the PCA ID, if the
maintenance sales quotation status is ‘Free’.
Propagation of the peg to the follow-up work order
By default, the PCA ID is retrieved from the initiating work order. If the installation group or the item is
linked to a service contract the PCA ID is retrieved from the service contract configuration line. If the
PCA ID is not defaulted from these origins, LN defaults the ID from the service contract configuration
line in case the serialized item is linked to a service contract. The user can specify or change the PCA
ID, if the work order status is ‘Free’.
Propagation of a material request to LN Warehousing from depot
repair
When warehouse orders are generated from Service, in order to request material from a warehouse,
the PCA ID is propagated to Warehousing only if the Inherit Project Peg check box in the Item
(tcibd0101s000) session is selected. Warehousing uses the PCA ID for financial bookings to LN Project.
Warehousing handles the potential peg transfers:
Example
Service needs materials B and material C to be used in the repair of item A. For item B, LN Service
requests inventory with a peg. For item C, Service requests material with a peg, because the cost for B
and C have to be reported to the project.
Warehousing checks if there is inventory of item B with the corresponding PCA. In the case of an
inventory shortage, Warehousing checks whether transfer rules apply to meet the LN Service request.
Warehousing handles the potential peg transfers in the background.
For item C, the process is the same. Service requests the material with a PCA, though there is inventory
for item C without a peg.
For Example, a demand transaction for item A has a peg123 that requires material B and C. When the
Inherit Project Peg check box in the Item (tcibd0101s000) session for Material B is set to Yes and for
Material C is set to No:

Since material C is without a peg in inventory, the costs are not yet pegged to the project. However,
since material B is already cost pegged to the project, the cost do not have to be booked again to the
project when the actual outbound process is executed.
Propagation of the Peg to generate purchase order
For project pegged items when purchase orders are generated, the PCA ID from Service ( Example
Subcontracting), is propagated to LN Order Management to generate the purchase order with the
corresponding peg. For material request of type Via Purchase, the PCA ID is propagated only if the
Inherit Project Peg check box in the Item (tcibd0101s000) session is selected.
Propagation of the peg to book hours
When hours are booked in Service, the PCA is processed to LN People to book hours on the work order.
Book other costs or bench stock material costs
When actual other costs or Bench stock material costs are defined in Service, the costs are logged in
the PCL. If the item is defined for the maintenance sales coverage line, the item is used to identify the
appropriate project cost type. In case the item is not defined, the cost component is used to identify the
appropriate project cost type using cost mapping in the Cost Mappings (tcmcs0149m000) session.
Propagation of the peg to a maintenance sales order coverage line
When the maintenance sales order coverage lines are costed, the invoice is created in LN Invoicing.
The revenues and costs are booked to the corresponding PCAs. If the item is defined for the maintenance
sales coverage line, the item is used to identify the appropriate project cost type. In case the item is not
defined, the cost component is used to identify the appropriate project cost type using cost mapping in
the Cost Mappings (tcmcs0149m000) session. LN Invoicing receives the related PCA IDs for the actual
costs.

Cost peg transfers - borrow/loan and payback
To handle shortages of project pegged inventory identified during the outbound process, you can use
the borrow/loan and payback procedure to temporarily transfer available to transfer (ATT) inventory from
other projects with minimum cost impact on either project.
The borrow/loan and payback process
The borrow/loan and payback process constitutes the temporary transfer of inventory between two
projects. LN can temporarily transfer cost pegged items from one project, the lending project, to another,
the borrowing project, to fulfill an urgent demand. After the inventory is replenished, the borrowing project
transfers the borrowed item quantities back to the lending project.
Manual finalization and aging
The borrow/loan and payback procedure is carried out automatically, but you can set an aging period
or manually intervene to finalize the procedure before the automatic payback is due. Manual finalization
is used for individual borrow/loan transfers and aging is used for collective finalization. Manual finalization
and aging result in the permanent transfer of the inventory to the borrowing project and a financial
compensation to the lending project.
Cost aspects
Item values can fluctuate between the moments of borrowing and paying back. To prevent that the
lending project is affected by cost increases, inventory is paid back at the inventory value at which it
was borrowed.

Borrow/Loan and Payback
Borrow/loan
Sometimes incidents, such as damages inflicted during movement to the docking area, cause inventory
shortages just before shipping. Therefore, when an item for a project peg is issued from inventory to
fulfill an order, and the outbound process detects a shortage, a borrow/loan transfer is automatically
created to transfer inventory from another project to compensate for the shortage. The project that
borrowed the inventory can then issue the items to fulfill the order.
The borrow/loan transfer is created only if the conditions described previously apply.
LN creates the borrow/loan transfer together with payback records during the creation of outbound
advice. The borrow/loan transfer is carried out immediately. After the borrowing project is replenished
with new items, LN performs a payback transfer based on the payback records.
Payback
The lending project is replenished by a payback that transfers the borrowed inventory quantity back to
the lending project. LN creates and carries out a payback transfer after the borrowing project is
replenished, for example, after receiving a replenishment order created by the planning engine from
Enterprise Planning.
The Enterprise Planning replenishment order is based on the borrowing project’s replenishment lead
times and inventory present after the issue, minus the borrowed inventory. The planning engine does
not consider the borrowed inventory. The planning engine does not create replenishment orders for
lending projects, because the lending projects are replenished by the payback transfers from the borrowing
projects.
Note
Positive adjustment or cycle counting orders will not trigger payback transfers.
For a borrowing project, multiple outstanding paybacks to various lending projects can be present. After
a receipt of project pegged items is confirmed, LN checks if there are any outstanding paybacks.
If found, LN first creates a payback transfer for the lending project with the earliest demand date. This
is because the most urgent demand must be fulfilled first.
Partial paybacks
If the received quantity is smaller than the borrowed quantity, LN processes a partial payback for the
lending project. The payback quantity still outstanding is fulfilled after the borrowing project has received
one or more consecutive replenishment orders. These follow-up paybacks are distinguished by higher
sequence numbers.

Borrow/Loan and Payback
Manual finalization and aging
The borrow/loan and payback procedure is carried out automatically, but you can set an aging period
or manually intervene to finalize the procedure before the automatic payback is due. Manual finalization
is used for individual borrow/loan transfers and aging is used for collective finalization. Manual finalization
and aging result in the permanent transfer of the inventory to the borrowing project and a financial
compensation to the lending project.
The borrowed items are not returned to the lending project. The borrowed items and their value are
added to the borrowing project’s inventory as described in Borrow - example of cost aspects, but
permanently. The payback is a purely financial compensation for the lending project.
Reasons to finalize borrow/loans manually or by aging:
▪
▪
The difference of the inventory value between the moment of borrowing and (forecasted)
payback is negligible.
Outstanding loans are finalized after a fixed period according to policy.
Impact
The consequence of aging or manual finalization is that the lending project is not replenished by the
borrowing project and consequently there is an inventory shortage. The lending project must now
(urgently) reorder the missing inventory, often at higher costs than it would have incurred by the automatic
payback. In addition, this new shortage may also trigger new project cost peg transfers.
Finalizing the borrow/loan procedure while a supply order is present for the borrowing project may result
in excess inventory for the borrowing project cost peg. However, Enterprise Planning can identify this
forecasted excess and allocate the expected receipt to another demand. If no supply order is present
when you finalize a borrow/loan transfer, Enterprise Planning identifies the shortage of the lending project
and creates new supply orders – at a rather late stage.
Manual finalization
To finalize an individual borrow/loan transfer, in the Borrow/Loan (whinh1146m000) or Borrow/Loan
(whinh1646m000) session, select the relevant transfer and using the appropriate menu, select Finalize.
You are then prompted to specify a reason.
Aging
You can use the Aging of Borrow/Loan Cost Peg Transfers (whinh1246m000) session to finalize a range
of borrow/loan transfers.

Borrow/Loan and Payback
Cost aspects of borrow/loan and payback transfers
When a borrow/loan transfer is carried out, the inventory value is transferred from the lending project
to the borrowing project. The payback transfer returns the inventory value to the lending project. The
transferred items are valuated against the inventory value of the lending project and the borrowing
project. The inventory value of both projects is determined by the inventory valuation method used.
Item values can fluctuate between the moments of borrowing and paying back. To prevent that the
lending project is affected by cost increases, inventory is paid back at the inventory value at which it
was borrowed.
The borrowed and loaned inventory has no impact on the project costs. For the lending project, the
loaned inventory is returned at the original value. For the borrowing project, the difference between the
payback value and the replenishment value is posted to the Project Costs and Commitments / WIP
Costs and not to the project costs. Borrow/loan and payback transfers are non-billable transactions.
Cost aspects of borrow transfers
A borrow transfer does not affect the inventory value per item of the lending project, but the aggregated
loaned inventory is subtracted from the total inventory value. The total inventory of the borrowing project
is increased with the aggregated borrowed inventory value. The value per item is affected only if the
item value of the borrowed inventory is different from the item value of the borrowing project.
Example
The inventory valuation method is MAUC by project.
Project A has four items in inventory, each with a value of 20. Therefore, the total value is 80. Project
A borrows 4 items with a total value of 40 to fulfill a job shop requirement of 8 items. The total inventory
value of project A is now 120, and the value per item is 15. The moment the borrow transfer is carried
out, the 8 items are issued to the shop floor and no items are left in inventory.
Cost aspects of paybacks
The borrowed inventory is paid back at the value at which it was borrowed.
The borrowed and loaned inventory has no impact on the project costs. For the lending project, the
loaned inventory is returned at the original value. For the borrowing project, the difference between the
payback value and the replenishment value is posted to the Project Costs and Commitments / WIP
Costs and not to the project costs. Borrow/loan and payback transfers are non-billable transactions.
96 | Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging
Borrow/Loan and Payback
Example
The inventory valuation method is MAUC by project.
Project A had borrowed four items from project B at a value of 10 each. The borrowed items have
meanwhile been issued to fulfill a job shop requirement, so there is no inventory left. Then, project A is
replenished with four items. The items have become more expensive: the value per item is now 30. After
replenishment, the inventory value of project A is 4 * 30 = 120. The payback transfer is then carried out.
The borrowed items are returned to project B at the value 40, which equals the value at which the items
were borrowed. The inventory of project A becomes 0. The difference between the replenishment value
and the payback value (120-40=80) are booked at the Project Costs and Commitments / WIP Costs of
project A.
For the lending project, the result of the payback is that the total inventory value and the value per item
are the same again as before the inventory was loaned.
Note
In case of partial paybacks, the values of the installments may differ.
Cost aspects of aging or manual finalization
The borrowed items are not returned to the lending project. The borrowed items and their value are
added to the borrowing project’s inventory as described in Borrow - example of cost aspects, but
permanently. The payback is a purely financial compensation for the lending project.
The financial compensations are required because, for example, payments are made to the lending
project’s supplier before the borrow transfer is finalized.

Costing Breaks

Costing Breaks
For projects involving production or service of an item (such as depot repair service), the user is required
to monitor costs at various levels.
Costing breaks provide a flexible method to view the breakup of costs at various levels in a project WBS.
You can use costing breaks to move the costs from the top demand project pegs to other project WBS
levels. You can also identify other specific cost types such as labor, material, subcontracting, and so on
to redirect the costs to the other WBS levels.
You can register the costing breaks for:
▪
▪
Manufacturing: for the Bill of Material (BOM) components of the item
Service: for the As-built structure of the service item
Infor LN allows you to create the multiple costing breaks for a project. When you create a costing break
at a particular level in a project WBS, all the lower levels of the BOM inherit the costing break WBS links
unless another costing break exists at the lower level in the BOM structure.
Example
A project PRJ001, with the element E and activity A, involves production of the End Item with the following
components in the bill of material (BOM):
▪
▪
▪
▪
Assembly
Sub-Assembly 1 & Sub-Assembly 2
MFG Comp 1, MFG Comp 2, MFG Comp 3 and MFG Comp 4
Pur Comp 1 and Pur Comp 2
Infor LN | User Guide for Project Pegging | 103
Costing Breaks
The peg distribution for the project is initially at the top demand item level (in this example at the End
Item).
Costing breaks are created at the following levels:
▪
▪
▪
▪
Costing Break 1 - at Sub-Assembly 1
Costing Break 2 - at MFG Comp 1
Costing Break 3 - at MFG Comp 2
Costing Break 4 - at Pur Comp 2
You can collect and view the costs for:
▪
▪
▪
▪
MFG Comp 1 at the Costing Break 2 (linked to peg PRJ001, E10, A105) instead of the Costing
Break 1 (linked to peg PRJ001, E10, A101) as the Costing Break 1 is replaced by the lower
level Costing Break 2.
MFG Comp 2 at Costing Break 3 (linked to peg PRJ001, E10, A110) instead of Costing Break
1 (linked to peg PRJ001, E10, A101).
Pur Comp 1 at Costing Break 2 (linked to peg PRJ001, E10, A105) as there is no costing
break created at Pur Comp 1.
Pur Comp 2 at Costing Break 4 (linked to peg PRJ001, E10, A115).
For the Sub-Assembly 2, MFG Comp 3, and MFG Comp 4, you can view the break up of costs at the
top demand item level (the End Item linked to the peg (PRJ001, E10, A100)).
Pre-requisites to create costing breaks
Infor LN allows you to create costing breaks for projects only if the Costing Breaks check box in the
Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session is selected.
Costing breaks cannot be created for the projects of the type Internal and Template.

You must specify the element/activity to create costing breaks for a project. The activities used to create
costing breaks must be of the type Control Account or Work Package.
Setting up costing breaks
Use the Costing Breaks (tppdm3600m000) session to create/set up costing breaks for the production
material and resource costs, service depot repair material, labor, and other costs, for the project.
Note
You can also create costing breaks for blank projects with the project code not specified in the Project
field in the Costing Breaks (tppdm3600m000) session. However, you must specify the standard element
or a standard activity.

Copying costing breaks
Infor LN allows you to manually copy the costing break to a target project using the Copy to Other
Project option in the References menu of the Costing Breaks (tppdm3600m000) session. The Copy to
Other Project window opens wherein you can specify the target project. You can also use the Replace
existing Costing Breaks check box to replace the existing costing breaks in the target project, if any.
Note

Removing empty costing breaks
Use the Remove empty Cost Pegs in the Costing Breaks (tppdm3600m000) session, to delete the
costing break lines that are not linked to a project peg (element/activity).
Costing breaks in Enterprise Planning and
Manufacturing
In Manufacturing, the cost on a project is absorbed by a project account. With costing breaks, you can
model dedicated project accounts for specific items and operations. You can define costing breaks at
the lowest level such as item code or routing and operation, or at a generic level such as item group,
assembly, operation type, or work center.
You can specify costing breaks for production resources and materials in the Costing Breaks
(tppdm3600m000) session. When a production order is created, Enterprise Planning searches for costing
breaks that can be applied to the new production order.
Costing breaks in the bill of material
Costing breaks override a project peg distribution of actual supply orders and move the related costs to
different WBS levels on the same project.
Costing breaks are used to assign and track costs in Project. On a multilevel bill of material, costing
breaks can be added on different levels. These costing breaks are indicated by lower level project peg
codes for components, which differ from their parent item's project peg. Costs are moved from the main
project peg to pegs that collect specific types of costs such as labour, material, subcontracting, or
machine costs. In the BOM, you can apply costing breaks to routings, operations, work centers, or cost
types. Multiple costing breaks can be applied to a BOM at the same time.
Costing breaks for nonpegged items
If the Costing Breaks check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000)
session, before you can apply costing breaks to items, items must have a project peg distribution linked.
You can apply Costing breaks to nonpegged items. If the item is nonpegged, the Inherit Project Peg
check box in the Item (tcibd0101s000) session determines how a project peg distribution is linked to
these items. If this check box is selected, the item is treated as pegged and will have a peg distribution
generated. If this check box is cleared, and no costing break is found for the nonpegged item during
creation in, for example, the estimated materials, the order header project pegs are copied to the project
peg distribution of the nonpegged item.

Project Pegging Costing Breaks in Depot Repair
The costing break functionality allows you to collect costs at different Physical Breakdown levels for
Depot Repair to redirect costs from project peg for service contract to another project peg.
Setup Costing Breaks for Depot Repair
Costing breaks must be defined in the Costing Breaks (tppdm3600m000) session for material, labor
and other resources lines for depot repair.
Create Work Order from MSO Part Maintenance Line
When MWO is created from a MSO and costing breaks are defined in the Costing Breaks
(tppdm3600m000) session, LN identifies the existing costing breaks and implement them to the project
peg for the material lines, labor lines and other lines. The project pegs are defaulted in the following
sequence:
1.
If the project is defined on the MWO header and the Costing Breaks check box is selected
in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session, the Element and Activity
are defaulted from the Costing Breaks (tppdm3600m000) session based on the material (
Costing Breaks - Service Depot Repair Material (tppdm3103m000)), labor ( Costing Breaks Service Depot Repair Labor (tppdm3104m000)) and other resource line data ( Costing Breaks
- Service Depot Repair Other (tppdm3105m000) sessions. LN identifies existing costing breaks
and follows a hierarchy to implement them to the project pegs for the material lines, labor lines
and other lines. When a costing break applies to the material, labor or other cost line the
Project Peg Origin is set to Costing Break. For more information refer to Service Costing
Break Hierarchy and Search Path (p. 112) .
2.
If the Costing Breaks check box is not selected in the Implemented Software Components
(tccom0100s000) session, the Element and Activity are defaulted from the Work Orders
(tswcs2100m000) session. The Project Peg Origin field is set to Top Demand.
Note
▪
▪
When a Maintenance Work Order (MWO) is created from a Maintenance Sales Order (MSO)
- part maintenance line, the pegging (project, element, activity) data on the work order header
is defaulted from the part maintenance line.
When MWO is created from a MSO part maintenance line and a reference activity or master
routing is defined on the part maintenance line or resource lines are defined manually, all
material, labor, tooling and other requirement lines linked to the reference activity are copied
to work order activity resource lines.
Update Peg Data on MSO Part Maintenance Line
If the project pegging data changes on the MSO Part Maintenance Line and a Maintenance Work Order
is already created before receiving the main part for repair on the MSO Part Maintenance Line, changes

Costing Breaks
on the MSO Part Maintenance Line automatically update the project peg on the related MWO header
and on MWO resource lines.
Note
After the MSO Receipt Line is generated, the peg data cannot be modified.
Plan Work Order
If the Project Pegged Inventory check box is selected in the Work Orders (tswcs2100m000) session,
to issue the main item from warehouse, the project peg data is transferred to Warehousing for processing
and a warehouse order is created with an outbound line.
If the Project Pegged Inventory check box is selected in the Work Orders (tswcs2100m000) session,
to create the planned inventory transactions for the receipt of the main item or for each material line
(with Delivery Type set to From Warehouse or From Kit or To Warehouse or Via Purchase in the
Work Order Material Resources (tswcs4110m000) session), the project pegs of the MWO header are
transferred to Warehousing.
Project Pegged Inventory check box is not selected in the Work Orders (tswcs2100m000) session for
the items (to be issued from the warehousing) which are not project peg. The project peg is also not
applicable for processing planned inventory transaction for such items.
If the Project Pegged Inventory check box is selected in the Work Orders (tswcs2100m000) session,
for checking the availability of dedicated project inventory when performing the ATP check, the project
pegs of the work order material resource line are used.
Note
When planning the MWO, LN checks the validity of the project pegs. In case a peg is not valid, an error
message is displayed.
Release Work Order
If the Project Pegged Inventory check box is selected in the Work Orders (tswcs2100m000) session,
at the time of releasing a work order, the work order planned inventory transaction are updated and
warehouse outbound lines are created for the required material. The project pegs of the material lines
are transferred to warehousing.
Register Actual Work Order Costs
Financial transactions are created when actual materials, labors or other cost are registered on the work
order resource lines. The project peg data is also defaulted from the work order resource line. When
actual costs are registered and the cost line is pegged, the costs are posted to the Project. For a new
labor line that is created, MWO is project pegged, and Costing Breaks check box is selected in the
Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session, the pegging data are defaulted from the
Costing Breaks (tppdm3600m000) session. When costing breaks are not defined, the pegging data is
defaulted from the Work Orders (tswcs2100m000) session. For a new actual resource lines, the standard
project peg defaults mechanism, described above is applicable.

Costing Breaks
Subcontract Work Order Activity
When you subcontract a work order activity, a work order other resource line with Cost Type set to
Subcontracting is created in the Work Order Other Resources (tswcs4130m000) session. The project
peg is defaulted from the applicable costing break or MWO header to the purchase order created for
subcontracting.
Create Related Work Order
When a MWO is created for department transfer, the project peg data of the existing MWO must be
transferred to the new related MWO. When you create a related MWO which is transferred within the
same department (disassemble-assemble scenario), the project peg and the project peg origin of the
material resource line in the Work Order Material Resources (tswcs4110m000) session, are defaulted
on the new related MWO.
Close Work Order
When closing a work order, a warehouse order is created to receive the repaired item back in the
warehouse. Return delivery lines are created for warehouse deliveries that are not fully consumed. The
standard project peg defaults mechanism, described above is applicable.
Post Work Order to History
Canceled and closed work orders are posted to history. The project peg data is also copied.
Add MSO Coverage Line Additional Costs
When you manually add a coverage line for the additional costs, the project pegs are defaulted from
the MSO header or the Lines which the coverage line is linked.
Note
If the coverage line is linked to a Part Maintenance Line and the Costing Breaks check box is selected
in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session , the Element and Activity are
defaulted from Costing Breaks - Service Depot Repair Other (tppdm3105m000) session, overwriting
the project peg data defaulted from MSO header/line.

can be in the same site, or in different sites.

represent valid supply paths for particular items or groups of items. You can specify supplying relationships
at the level of individual items, but also at more general levels.
The supplying relationships also determine the costs of supply, lot size rules, and other parameters.
