Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power system information management, and in particular to a method and system for automatically allocating project costs based on full-process project management. Background Art

[0002] The existing automatic allocation of engineering costs based on ERP is essentially still a relatively independent business link, which is connected through offline process control. It is still separated from various professional systems and can only realize the online flow of individual business links. In fact, it cannot achieve the purpose of online control of the entire process of engineering projects from project establishment to automatic cost allocation and accounting.

[0003] Data and business standards across specialized systems and the ERP system are inconsistent. ERP secondary development requires manual data standard conversion and cross-system import and export, resulting in low efficiency and the potential for human error, leading to inconsistent business processes and data integration.

[0004] The current state of State Grid's project management efforts across the entire project lifecycle was insufficient to meet the company's business needs for online, automated cost allocation. Traditional approaches, characterized by process breakpoints, loose business connections, and decentralized functionality, led to inefficient automated cost allocation, severely impacting the company's ability to grow its effective asset base.

[0005] As the scale of the power grid continues to expand, power companies are increasing their investment in power infrastructure and power transformation projects. This results in a massive number of projects and fixed assets each year. This makes it difficult to address issues that may arise during project implementation, such as inappropriate automatic cost allocation. Furthermore, it's impossible to intuitively query project costs within the ERP system, making it difficult to trace the relationships between assets, equipment, and materials.

[0006] In order to effectively solve the above problems, the present invention builds an efficient and intelligent information platform through information technology, fully connects with the business processes of PMS, economic and legal systems, and fully connects with relevant professional management platforms, migrates traditional offline processes to online, and drives the entire project acceptance to final settlement and capital transfer process in an online process through workflow. It is fully connected with relevant professional management platforms, and uses technical means to standardize the management of the entire project management process, realize orderly value transfer throughout the entire engineering process, real-time business query, and comprehensive information sharing.

The method for automatically allocating project costs based on full-process project management according to claim 1 is characterized in that: In step S5, maintaining the correspondence between the material code, equipment type code, asset subcategory code, and WBS identification code includes the following steps: S5.

1. Batch maintenance function for the correspondence between material codes, equipment type codes, asset sub-category codes, and WBS identification codes; S5.

2. Approval workflow for the correspondence between material codes, equipment type codes, asset subcategory codes, and WBS identification codes; S5.

3. The system application of the correspondence between material codes, equipment type codes, asset subcategory codes and WBS identification codes submitted for engineering material requirements has been enhanced, and the correspondence between material codes, equipment type codes, asset subcategory codes and WBS identification codes can be maintained in batches.

5. The method for automatically allocating project costs based on full-process project management according to claim 1 is characterized in that: In step S6, the one-click creation of a purchase application and purchase order includes the following steps: S6.

1. Select and enter the project definition or project sub-item, service type, and automatically filter out the WBS corresponding to the service type. S6.

2. The business department selects the WBS and enters the tax rate and amount information; S6.

3. Automatically call the standard procedure for creating purchase requisitions to achieve one-click creation.

6. The method for automatically allocating project costs based on full-process project management according to claim 1 is characterized in that: In step S7, the maintenance existence check of the project budget details and actual start / completion date includes the following steps: S7.

1. Before recording design and development project costs and making the first payment, perform a strong check to ensure that the corresponding "Actual Start Date" and project budget details have been maintained. S7.

2. During the project pre-capital transfer phase, check whether the "Actual Completion Date" in the project master data is maintained.

7. The method for automatically allocating project costs based on full-process project management according to claim 1 is characterized in that: In step S9, the provisional accounting of the engineering cost includes the following steps: S9.

1. Calculate provisional costs for engineering service procurement contracts for power grid projects that have not been fully accounted for before project pre-capitalization; S9.

2. Go through the online approval workflow and the business department reviews and confirms.

8. An automatic project cost allocation system based on full-process project management, used to implement the method according to any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that: The system comprises: The maintenance module is used to maintain WBS allocation flags and automatically write them into WBS master data. It establishes the correspondence between the standard WBS structure and WBS flags, and is used to determine the asset attributes and expense nature of each level of the project. Import module, used for importing and maintaining detailed budget estimates for power grid projects, designing and adjusting structured templates for detailed budget estimates, and solidifying the system; Create a module for integrated maintenance of equipment and material inventories and linked creation of purchase requisitions. Design and develop a system management tool for equipment and material inventories, and enter equipment and material inventories for subsequent linked creation of purchase requisitions. The first verification module is used to verify the accuracy of engineering material demand submission and delivery, and engineering service demand submission; The relationship maintenance and approval module is used to maintain the correspondence between material codes, equipment type codes, asset sub-category codes, and WBS identification codes, and to create an online approval workflow. This module enables batch import, maintenance, and query of correspondence between equipment classifications, asset classifications, and materials / material groups, as well as query of correspondence between material groups and standard WBS. The configuration module is used to automatically call the standard purchase requisition creation procedure through custom configuration of WBS identification codes and service types, enabling one-click creation of purchase requisitions and purchase orders; The second verification module is used to verify the existence of the project budget details and actual start / completion dates. This module verifies the timely and accurate entry of the project budget details, actual start date, and actual completion date when executing cost accounting or fund payment, as well as project pre-capital transfer operations in the ERP system. The display module is used to display contract execution status reports: it uses projects as the smallest unit to obtain on-demand procurement contract information for engineering materials and services, and forms a basic data table on the execution status of engineering project contracts; The accounting module is used to record project cost estimates. The system extracts the service purchase order amount and service confirmation amount, automatically calculates the estimated cost, and develops an online approval workflow to generate estimated cost vouchers. The inventory module is used for on-site project acceptance and inventory. Before the project is completed and put into operation, the project management department exports the equipment inventory from the ERP system and submits it to the physical asset management department, the materials management department, and the finance department. Automatic allocation module, used for automatic allocation of project costs.
