Sage X3\u2019s<\/a> Project Management module (commonly referred to as PJM) is designed to support a wide range of project types, including services, manufacturing, and custom billing contracts. It provides a flexible framework for defining project structures and for tracking costs, operations, and project progress within an integrated ERP environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sage X3 also provides the ability to change project status, as shown in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fig. 1: Project status change using the Change Status button<\/center><\/font>\n\n\n\n

The status change feature is a key component of project management in Sage X3. It enables users to update the lifecycle stage of project elements to accurately reflect project progress\u2014for example, transitioning from planning to execution or from execution to closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This functionality ensures precise tracking of project activities, prevents unauthorized actions on completed elements, and seamlessly integrates with related processes such as Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and time entry management. Project statuses follow predefined workflows (for example, New \u2192 Planned \u2192 Launched \u2192 Started \u2192 Delivered \u2192 Closed<\/em>), with system controls in place to enforce valid transitions. For instance, a task cannot be closed unless it has first been delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fig<\/a><\/center>\n

One of our clients had a requirement that the project reactivation option should be available only to specific users. Additionally, they wanted the reactivation action to be moved from the Change Status radio button to a direct header-level button, allowing projects to be reactivated with a single click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet this requirement, we removed the Reactivate option from the Change Status radio button and added a Reactivate Project button to the header screen, as shown in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fig.<\/a><\/center>\n
Fig. 3: Reactivate option removed from Change Status and Reactivate Project button added to the header<\/center><\/font>\n\n\n\n

Structural changes alone are not sufficient for the project reactivation functionality to work. To enable reactivation through the new button, we analyzed the Sage X3 standard project scripts and implemented custom logic to support the Reactivate Project<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the customization, we introduced a new miscellaneous table in which the client can define the list of users authorized to reactivate projects. This table is referenced within the custom script to validate user authorization and restrict unauthorized users from reactivating projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When an authorized user clicks the Reactivate Project<\/strong> button, the project is reopened and an informative message is displayed, as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fig.<\/a><\/center>\n
Fig. 4: Authorized user can reactivate the project<\/center><\/font>\n\n\n\n

If an unauthorized user attempts to reactivate a project, the system restricts the action and prevents the project from being reopened. In such cases, an informative message is displayed to notify the user that they are not authorized to perform this action, as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fig.<\/a><\/center>\n
Fig. 5: Unauthorized user cannot reactivate the project<\/center><\/font>\n\n\n\n

This approach demonstrates how we implemented a user-wise project reactivation feature within the Sage X3 Project Management module, ensuring controlled access and adherence to the client\u2019s authorization requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
