| | Function: Execution controlThe objective of this function is to control the actual running
of the project-related activities, such as allocating resources to activities,
planning project requirements, and initiating invoices to be sent to the
customer. Process: Execution control, process (code:
MPR05a) The objective of this main business function is to allocate
human resources to activities, generate a requirements plan for project items
that are required for these activities and finally to prepare invoicing
schedule. Resource allocation The objective is to allocate in-house or temporary employees
and equipment to activities. The same resources can be used simultaneously in
multiple projects. Project requirements planning One of the two objectives of this process is to calculate
the demand for items, subcontracting (hours/items) and equipment. The results
are purchase orders and warehouse orders. This main function relates to the main planning and
scheduling function since altering schedules changes the amount of time for
which human resources and materials are required. After you transfer the orders, changes to the schedule have
no influence on the actual orders, though rescheduling messages are generated. The other important objective is to generate service orders
for labor requirements that are executed by the service department, such as
installations at site and warranty service. Project Invoicing The objective of invoice preparation is to use various invoice
methods on the current project phase. After the invoices are created, they are
transferred to the Sales Invoicing module in LN Finance for
central processing. Revenues are generated based on the invoices.
Assumptions: - LN Project will serve as the supporting
functionality.
