Common Errors and FAQs

How do I specify the Projection Date?

Autodesk Build does not have a date for locking in Projections, whereas Vista does and requires a date when creating Projections.

You have two options to specify the Projection Date when syncing Projections from Autodesk Build to Vista:

1. Manual Sync: you can select a Projection Date in the Agave Sync UI when manually syncing a record, or
2. Automatic Sync: you can sync Projections once a month. Your Agave Account Manager will configure a setting to determine the:
   • The day of the month you would like to sync these Projections on (e.g. the 5th day of each month), and
   • The date you would like to set these Projections to (e.g. the first of the month, the last day of the month)

How does Agave Sync determine the Batch ID to use when creating Projections in Vista?

Since Autodesk Build does not have a Batch ID, Agave Sync will follow Vista's logic for creating Projections by:

1. Creating a new Batch ID, then
2. Syncing all Projections for a Budget to that Batch ID for the remainder of the Batch Month.

Error: Missing setting 'vista.cost-projection.vista-username-for-defaults' for Vista account

This error is because Agave Sync requires a Vista Username with the appropriate permissions to create Cost Projections.

To determine a Vista User that has the appropriate permissions:

1. Go to JC Cost Projections:

2. Select Create New Batch:

3. Select File-->Projection Options:

4. A valid username will appear next to User. You will need to share this User with your Agave Account Manager:
