4 minute read
When setting up Pryme Intercompany Projects, it’s crucial to follow a structured approach to ensure that both the sending and receiving companies are properly configured for transferring projects and time entries. The process involves setting up Parties, Topics, and Subscriptions in the correct order. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you through the setup process.
In Pryme Intercompany Project, you can transfer data using two pre-defined templates. You can use these templates either separately or in combination, depending on the types of data you want to transfer between companies. Read more about it here.
- Time Entries - This template is used for transferring just the time entries.
- Project Ledger Entries - This template includes time entries, as well as expenses and item entries.
For two-ways data transfer, set up the Topics and Subscriptions in both companies.
Parties
Project

Time, alternative 1
The pre-define template Time entries transfer resources and time entries. When a time sheet is submitted the entries are transfered to the External time entries. This makes it possible for a project manager in to preview the entries. There is also an approval flow for information purpose only.

Using this template, the project ledger entries are transfered to a project journal, from where they are posted.
