Key Conversion In Vantagepoint

Project Key Conversion in Vantagepoint often refers to a project's number changing after the project is won. When a project is won, the primary project number WBS1 will automatically be modified by Vantagepoint.

WBS1 is the project number you will see in Mosaic, whereas the PreAwardWBS1 is just an identifier and is used primarily for traceability and historical use.

A Project in Vantagepoint is converted into a single project after being won

Below is an example of before and after a project is won, using example values. If a project has a number of R12345.67.89 before being won, it may have values that look like this:

Before a Project is won

After a Project is won

After a project is won, the WBS1 value is changed to the real project number, and the PreAwardWBS1 values stay. This is to ensure the continuity of projects and their traceability in Vantagepoint. On Mosaic, the project number will automatically update to the new WBS number from Vantagepoint.

A Project in Vantagepoint is converted into multiple projects after being won

In some cases, the project in Vantagepoint will be converted to more than one active project in Vantagepoint (each having its own WBS1) when the project is won. In this case, we will create and bring in each of those new projects into Mosaic as distinct projects, and they will be linked with their Vantagepoint counterpart.
The old project will still exist as active in Mosaic.
