To create a physical breakdown from a project-breakdown structure

You can create a physical breakdown structure by copying from a Project structure with the underlying Element or Activity structure and the material lines of the specific structure. In this process, you can also copy the material lines that underlie any of the elements or activities that are copied. You can create a physical breakdown from a project-breakdown structure in the Copy Project Breakdown Structure (tscfg2210m200) session.

In this session, you can create the physical breakdown from:

Note

You can only use this session if Project is implemented.

To create a physical breakdown from a project-breakdown structure, take the following steps:

Step 1. Project field

Enter or select the project. For the entered project, the value of the Project Package Link field in the General Projects (tcmcs0552m000) session, must be Project ( Project). If you use free projects, note that the changes made to the project after you have copied the project, are not processed to Service.

Step 2. Origin Structure field

Select from:

  • Activity Structure
    The leading plan is used (refer to the Planning tab in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session). The activity structure, as displayed in the Activities (tppss2100m000) session, is used as input for the physical breakdown. LN creates a serialized item for each activity. The top element is used as the top-serialized item in the physical breakdown. The serial number of the serialized item is created according to the mask.
  • Element Structure
    The budget top element is used (refer to the Budget tab in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session). The element structure as displayed in the Element Budget Structure (tpptc1509m000) session is used as input for the physical breakdown. LN creates a serialized item for each element. The top element is used as the top-serialized item in the physical breakdown. The serial number of the serialized item is created according to the mask.
Step 3. Installation Group field

Enter the code of the Installation group that the newly-created physical breakdown belongs to. LN creates an Installation in the Installations (tsbsc1110m000) session that specifies the newly-created top-serialized item. You can specify the default installation group in the Project and in that scenario, this value is automatically defaulted from the project.
