Set up terminology for projects
You can set up Project Accounting to use the same terminology that you use in your business.
For example, in your business a project may be referred to as a job, so you could replace the term Project with Job. The new term will be used throughout Sage 200, so the Project Accounting Settings window would now be named Job Accounting Settings.
These terms are also used for timesheets and expenses in the Self Service web app.
Note: There is also additional terminology used for timesheets and expense claims that is set up separately.
To set your terminology
Open: Project Accounting > Utilities > System Setup > Project Accounting Settings | Terminology.
-
For each Field name used in Project Accounting, change the Caption to the term that you use in your business.
Note: Enter the singular version of the term; the plural version will be used automatically where appropriate.

Click OK to confirm the changes.
Note: You will have to restart Sage 200 before the terminology changes will take effect.
