The predicted total Muli system has been allocated 300 individual security elements each of which may be allocated at a value of 0 (no access) to 9 (special B with differing controls in between. With Version N Muli may have a number of program access with controls under way in any application. We aim to provide all Users when a control limitation is encountered with its relevant number so management may consider the risk profile. Where data in a report is not visual to a User, then a line below the total will say “Above values have transactions security excluded “.

- Progress Claim Notice 211 – An invoice raised for a client.
- Project – The Project in the Muli System refers to each major head contract that is executed – each head contract should be reflected by a project. Small repetitive activities may be combined as a project, i.e. plant hire, maintenance services, etc.
- Project (Area M2) – A value must be entered “1” if no initial knowledge of area. The basis of measurement should be defined by the user and applied to all projects, normally the “net letable area”.
- Project (Cashflow Number) – Optional field. Where Cashflow is utilised, then the initial Cashflow number is recorded here as a basis for doing future comparisons between initial Intended and revised Expected or Achieved as a review tool.
- Project Contract Signed – Has the formal head contract been signed by all the parties.
- Project (Contract Sum) – This contract value is a Lump Sum Contract (excluding GST); includes project margin.In a Cost based Contract, there should be a target contract value to be used for budgeting purposes.
- Project Contribution – Used by Muli to define the difference between Project Income/ Contract Value and Project Cost.
- Project Feature A-D 244 – A company needs to define its markets and then quantify the features that are important to a Client and then qualify elements that are individual highlights of services or features provided for each project the provision exists for linking the feature to the project.
- Project First Transaction – The date when the first action occurred on the project. Could be years prior to the signing of a formal contract. Muli use the first and last transaction date to manage the recording of project history data.
– First Transaction Date 6d Valid date prior to which no transactions are undertaken or entered on Muli. - Projection – Hypothetical assumptions used to estimate future financial statements.
- Project Last Transaction – The date after which no further transactions will occur. Usually the 30 June after end of defects liability period. No transactions may be entered outside the dates.
- Project Headers – Where a profit centre has been set up allowing for individual project headers, then the artwork company header containing legal identify, ABN, Name, Address, Phone, Fax, etc (axxx 30mm high by xx wide) may be linked in this artwork and will occur on all project correspondence, ie Orders, Subcontracts, Payment Advices.Users need to be careful to do project only payments runs.
- Project – Last Transaction Date 6d Valid date where the project is totally complete including release of all retentions and final profit take-up. Normally 30 June following completion of Defects Liability Period.
- Project Manager
- Project Management Phases – In the construction industry phases are defined by the identifiable areas of work which are logical for the control of financial planning and scheduling. Examples would include: separate building; floors of a building; in a major engineering project, the separate major sections. The danger in making phases too discrete is that it would be too difficult for employees to complete their timesheets.
- Project Margin – The value of the contribution made by a project to cover over- heads and profit.
- Project Market
- Project Master – In Muli, all work is managed by projects. Our financial year for each overhead company is a project.Normally speaking a large value contract is negotiated and managed as a project.On very major projects it may be that as Scopes of Work are defined and authorised by the Board, they would be executed as smaller projects in their own right. Each project will have a defined Scope of Works and a Budget which is equal to a contract value.There are special classes of projects called Minor Works.
- Project Number – Most data is entered and stored based on project, allocation, order number. So, to speed up/simplify data entry, Muli provides an option of just entering the Order Number at the project field and the application will fill in the next three fields.All processes in Muli are linked to a project.The project number is made up as follows:Note: all overhead projects are located in profit centre Z with the financial year of the project being the first 2-digits following Z representing the year. Ie: Overhead for company D for the financial year 2008-2009 is DZ09000. It is recommended that responsibility overheads for the relevant overheads would be numbered DZ09001, etc.There is no need for normal projects to include a financial year prefix, although we would recommend your first construction project be DF00100, next DF00101, etc. This reduces keying errors with long lists of zero’s.
Remember, with construction management projects, you need to assign a second Complementary Project which may be the next sequential project or the same project number in a different profit centre.
- C = Company Number A-Z , 1-9
- P = Profit Centre (A-Z)
- Project Number CPNNNNN – This number is allocated according to the parameters required for your business.7-digits allocated as follows:This may prove beneficial in developing cross-company analysis from the database.
- 1st character – Company – must be active company.
- 2nd character – Profit Centre – must be set up on company.
- 3 – 7 characters – Project sequence number – This is a simple sequential application of the next available number as a new project is created. The sequential number may be sequenced for each Profit Centre or across all Profit Centres allowing the same sequence number to be used by:
- Construction
- Plant Hire
- Electrical
- Development
- Holdings
- Project Order – Most transactions/processes in Muli are linked to an order. To enable the necessary input by a User, we normally ask for: Project/Order; Allocation; Order. If you know the order number and enter same at the Project/Order prompt, Muli will recognise it as an order, populate the 3 fields and move to the next question. If you do not know the order number, then F3 on Project will give you a list of active projects and will allow you to chose your project. Likewise, F3 on Allocation will display the allocations allocated to the project and F3 on Order will enable you to chose the applicable order. In some cases (F10 ADD) will enable you to raise an Order on the fly if your required Order does not exist.
- Project/Order/number – This entry field is part of Invoice Entry and allows the entry/selection of the Unumber as a selection method of processing an invoice.
- Project Other – Income Projects may have income on other than allocation 1001-1148, ie: tenement fit-out that is project orientated income, usually on an invoice rather than a contract basis.
- Project Prepayment – In Muli this is defined as “Received less Approved for Payment”.

- Project Retention
- Project Risk Indicator
- Project Risk2do Indicator – The project Risk2do indicator provides a summary status of outstanding Risk2do items and summarise them by status.Clicking on or selecting 18 or Change will open a summary of Risk items on the project sequenced in priority order to allow maintenance.
- Box 1 Red Urgent
- Box 2 Orange Due
- Box 3 Green Due Course
- Box 4 Grey Completed
- Project Roles and Responsibilities – Companies need to review who they believe are the players involved in a project. This may include all employees involved, all consultants, clients, client representatives and others such as adjacent owners, tenants and major decision influencers. From a roles perspective, it may be an organisation but key players should be entered on Muli as RPC’s and linked to the organisation they represent.
- Project Roll Register – Previous Muli versions allowed for a small number of project associated and then only the last person filling the role.With Version N users have extended flexibility to define what notes will be recorded against projects and record each person filling the note along with the time-frame of responsibility. The flexibility is there to record everybody who had a role to play in completing the project input.Project Master Maintenance 02010M
- Project Short Name – To assist the document display of management directories. Muli adds the project short name to the project number when creating data directories on the computer to aid browsing of data.
- Project Skeleton Type [Code xxx] – The Muli skeleton concept is to enable like projects to be managed and reviewed on a common basis.Project skeletons are categorised to a number of major subsections so Muli’s internal controls will manage the projects (and their security) using different rules.The elements of a project skeleton may only be selected from the standard elements in 1.?Associated with the skeleton selection are the default set of Risk Items that will be applied to the project at the start.

- Prolongation Cost: A contractor is entitled to and extension of time, he/she is also entitled to claim for time-related costs for the additional time that he/she was obliged to remain on site. Such costs are usually referred to as prolongation costs. Are there situations, where a contractor may legitimately claim for the payment of costs when an extension of time is not warranted ? i.e Retaining Major Equipment on Site Longer, Engaging additional staff to achieve required outcome.
- Provider Organisation
- Provisional Cost – Costs allowed for by the project team for activities or functions performed by a subcontractor or supplier as a result of a site instruction or similar.
- Provisional Sum – A Provisional Sum is an amount of money included in the contract sum to cover work or materials, or both, the extent of which cannot be specifically detailed when entering a contract. Typically, builders will include a PS for site work costs or professional Trades, ie: mechanical, electrical for which detailed design has not been completed.
- Purchase
- Purchase Order – The commitment for the supply only of standard goods not requiring any on-site labour or special terms and conditions. Any Scope requiring on-site labour or professional services should be a Subcontract (could be used where the supply is against a Company created period contract) and services (off-site) should be based on the concept of bulk order for project.
