In many cases, the EcoSys Project is created from another system, such as SAP, or directly within EcoSys. In this case, it is necessary to establish a mapping between the existing EcoSys Project and a Project in P6.

In EcoSys Project Setup screen, follow the steps below:

  1. Assign the Project-level Cost Object Category named "P6 Project" with the P6 Project ID.

  2. Set the Project-level Cost Object Category named "P6 Project Import" to "Y".

In P6 Connector, the Project Code "EcoSys Import" must be set to "Active" for the specified project. This Project Code allows the P6 Scheduler to turn the EcoSys integration on or off. It must be set to "Active" in order for P6 Connector Jobs to run for this Project.

Prerequisites

The EcoSys Connect Job Action "ITG P6 Project to Cost Object Category" will load the list of P6 Projects to the "P6 Project" Cost Object Category. This action must be scheduled to run nightly. For more information, see P6 Connector Connect Jobs.

A new Project Code Type in P6 called "EcoSys Import" must be created with the values, New, Active, and Inactive.
