Project

A collection of manufacturing and purchasing actions that are performed especially for a particular customer order. A project is initiated to plan and coordinate the production of these items.

For a standard-to-order production, the project is only used to link the item with the customer order. Otherwise, a project can include:

  • Customized item data (BOMs and routings)
  • Project planning (activity planning)

A budget is a special type of project. A budget is used to plan and estimate, not to carry out production.

Include Subprojects

If this check box is selected, the projects of project type Subproject that are part of the selected project are also included.
