Business Process Overview
Florida PALM Project Costing module consists of additional Project Specific ChartFields that can be used on a transaction to further classify and categorize a project transaction. These fields include Project Activity ID, Project Source Type, Project Category, and Project Subcategory. Users will use these and other Project Costing specific fields, to report on Project budgets, costs, and revenue. While at least one Activity is required to be established for each Project, the Project Source Type, Project Category, and Project Subcategory are optional.

Business Roles
The Business Process Flow Diagrams use horizontal swim lanes to depict where activities are performed by different parties or systems. Each swim lane is titled with a role, either agency-based or within DFS, and in some cases, are representative of an external entity or system. The swim lanes may change from page to page within a single business subprocess as more or fewer roles are required to execute sections of the business subprocess.
- Agency PC Maintainer: agency role responsible for reviewing and approving a Project’s budget and establishing optional Project Costing ChartField values.
