The code that uniquely identifies the project.
Activities (tppss2100m000)Use this session to view and maintain:
Note
General and Control Project The code that uniquely identifies the project. Status The way to characterize a project. LN distinguishes these statuses:
Plan The code that uniquely identifies the plan. Activity Position The activity's position number. Activity The code that uniquely defines the activity. General Description The description or name of the code. Search Key An alternative form of a description used for convenience
during searching. Typically, it is an abbreviation, an acronym, or a mnemonic
alternative to a full description. Unit The code that uniquely identifies the unit in which you specify the quantity of the activity. Activity Type The type of activity. Allowed values Note LN uses activities of all types only if the All Activity Types checkbox in the General Project Parameters (tppdm0100s000) session is selected, else, only the activities of the type Work Package are used. Parent Activity The activity that encompasses the child activity. A tree activity structure is formed by linking an activity to a parent activity. If you select the parent, you must take the following conditions into account:
OBS Element The organizational breakdown-structure element that you
want to link with a project cost-account. This enables you to make an organizational unit or employee responsible for a subset of the overall project. This responsibility is expressed in the time-phased budget, in project scheduling, and in performance measurement. Note You can link an OBS element to the activity only if the Use Organization Breakdown Structure checkbox in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session is selected. Extension The specific agreements within or in addition to the initial
contract. An extension falls outside the initial contract with the sold-to
business partner. Extensions can be assigned to the bottom-up
budget. LN distinguishes four extension types:
Critical Capacity In the Requirements Planning module, the critical capacity-type determines the
cost type from which the percentage completed must be transferred from
production progress to time-related progress. Choose a critical capacity-type to specify the cost-type progress to be exchanged. This is necessary because the progress in the Project Progress module can be more detailed than the progress of the activity. The project control budget-type determines where this progress is taken from: either from the progress entered on elements or on activities. Budget Status The budget status of the activity. Only the Actual and Final status activities can be used for history and can be
invoiced. Text If this check box is selected, a text is present. Control Phys. Progress Level The default level at which progress is recorded. Cost Control If this check box is selected, you can include this
activity in your cost control (report). Work Authorization Status The work authorization status of the activity. On Hold Date The date after which the work execution on the activity
must be suspended. Note The default value is the current date. The field is a display field. Reason Code The reason for holding the work execution of the activity. Note This field is only available if the Work Authorization Status field is set to On Hold. Capital Activity If this check box is selected, the activity is assigned to a capital project. Note If an activity is set to be capitalized, neither the child nor parent of the activity can be capitalized. Asset Number The asset number. Note LN enables the asset number and extension fields only for projects of the type capital. Description The description or name of the code. Asset Extension The asset extension number. Details Invoicing Details Progr. based Inv. You can decide whether and how you want the progress
installments of the activity to be invoiced. Progress for Invoice If the activity will be invoiced, the invoice type: Direct or Indirect. Otherwise, Not Applicable. Group Indirect Work The number of a group of costs that is related to indirect
work. Note This field is only available if the Progress based Invoicing field is set to Project Physical Progress. As a result, the Progress for Invoice field becomes Indirect. Use Holdback If this check box is selected, you can use holdback for this
activity. To be Settled If this check box is selected, you can enter a
settlement price. Note This field is only available in a project with Invoice Type field set to Progress Invoice in the Project (tppdm6100m000) session. Billable If this check box is selected, the activity costs are billed to the
customer. Budget Details Quantity The quantity needed for this activity. Time Unit The code that uniquely identifies the time unit. Production Rate The rate per production unit. Number of Time Units The number of time units. Phys. Progress Quantity This field is used for cost control purposes and progress
recording. If the invoice method is Unit Rate or Progress Invoice for the project, the progress quantity must be filled. This quantity can act as sales quantity for unit rate and progress invoicing by multiplying it with the sales price. Note
Price Details Sales Price The home currency for the settled amount. Sales Price The default sales price, per unit, of the cost object. Sales Price One of a company's base currencies in which LN registers and
reports amounts. In a multicurrency system, up to three home currencies can be defined: Sales Price The amount in the home currency. Rate/Rate Factor A charge or payment fixed according to a standard scale, for
example, the currency rate of the transaction. Rate/Rate Factor The factor by which the amount in the transaction currency or
the invoice currency is divided before LN converts it to a
home currency. A rate factor is often used for currencies that have a
relatively low price, for example, Korean Won. Settlement Price The home currency for the cost amount. Settlement Price If you decide later on in your project that the sales price
you set on this activity is too high or too low, you can settle it here. The
old price will remain only for display and comparison. Settlement Price One of a company's base currencies in which LN registers and
reports amounts. In a multicurrency system, up to three home currencies can be defined: Settlement Price The amount in the home currency. Rate/Rate Factor The rate of the settlement price. Rate/Rate Factor The factor by which the amount in the transaction currency or
the invoice currency is divided before LN converts it to a
home currency. A rate factor is often used for currencies that have a
relatively low price, for example, Korean Won. Tracking Tracking Dates Scheduled Start Date Scheduled start date. Scheduled Finish date Scheduled finish date. Actual Start Date Actual start date. Actual Finish Date Actual finish date. Constraint Type The constraints/checks that are implemented for the MSP XML
file of the external scheduling package. There are 3 types of constraints:
Default value By default, this field is set to As Soon As Possible. Allowed values The constraint types for the Microsoft project XML file are:
Constraint Date The date specified for the constraint type. Note This field is disabled if the Constraint Type field is set to As Soon As Possible or As Late As Possible. Deadline Date The date by which the scheduled activity must be completed. Note This field is considered only by the external scheduling package. Schedule Percentage Complete This is the scheduled progress for the activity, and must
not be confused with the actual physical progress. If you work with a external scheduling package, the planning package can fill this field with the scheduled progress. You can copy this progress to the physical progress with the Generate Physical Progress from Planning (tpppc1240m000) session. Scheduled Start Date is Changed If this check box is selected, you changed the
scheduled start date of the activity. To recalculate the requirement date for
your control data you must run the Generate Planned PRP Orders (tppss6200m000) session. If you made any other changes in this session, you must also run Generate Control Data (tpptc1230m000). Note After you have run the Generate Control Data (tpptc1230m000), this check box is cleared. Earned Value Tracking Earned Value Method The earned value method is a way to calculate the planned value. Linked Activity If the earned value method is apportioned, you can link an
activity to this activity. Miscellaneous Priority Supply Warehouse The warehouse that receives the deliveries for more than
one project. The goods are sent from the priority supply warehouse to the
project warehouse. The value is defaulted from the Priority Supply Warehouse
field in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session. Note For a project, when an activity is performed at multiple locations, it is easier to transfer goods when the warehouse is also defined at the Activity/Element level. ERP uses the following search path to check inventory, when generating PRP orders:
Description The description or name of the code. Project Location The location for the project's activity. For example, the
construction site. Def. Proj. Warehouse A warehouse that only stores goods that are used for projects.
In contradiction to a normal warehouse goods are administrated for a project
and its details. The goods in the default project warehouse represent inventory
value. The inventory value of a project warehouse is not part of the project
costs. When the goods are transferred to the project, they add to the project
costs. A project warehouse can be used by one or more projects. Standard Activity If the project activity entered in this session does not
have the required data, the defaults of this standard activity will be
displayed. Service Reference Activity Reference Activity The smallest unit of work that is required to carry out
maintenance. Frequency The number of times a reference activity occurs as a part
of project activity. Apply Frequency to The method in which the frequency of a reference activity
as part of the project activity must be used: Allowed values
Print Activities Starts the Print Activities (tppss2400m000) session which prints a selected range of
activities.
