The date on which you change one or more parameters in this session is the date this new parameter setting becomes valid.
Project Planning Parameters (tppss0100s000)Use this session to maintain the parameters for project planning, the external scheduling package, and requirement planning, as well as their default settings. Note By default, the Description field contains the date and time when the previous parameter set was saved. In order to avoid confusion, if you change the parameters, modify or delete the Description as well.
Introduction Date The date on which you change one or more parameters in this session is the date this new parameter setting becomes valid. Settings Plan Use Plan If this check box is selected, you can specify the default plan that must be used to create a project or an activity and view the Plan field wherever an activity is used. Note If this check box is cleared, the Plan field is not displayed throughout the Infor LN Project. This option allows you to create, for example, budget lines without specifying a plan. However, when you create a project with activities, Infor LN uses the plan specified in the Default Plan field. This is required, as project data must be linked to a plan. Default Plan The default plan that must be used when you create a project without using a template or copying an existing project. Note Default value is 000. However, you can modify this value. This field is enabled and mandatory, if the Use Plan check box is selected. Description The description of the plan. Note Default value is Default Plan. However, you can modify this value. This field is enabled only if the Use Plan check box is selected. Default Baseline Description The baseline description used as the default value. Infor LN defaults this value in the Baseline (tppss0120s000) session when the first baseline is created manually or Infor LN creates a new baseline. Code Length of Activity The length of the activity code. The maximum length is eight characters. Note The difference between the maximum of 8 characters and the code length specified as a parameter is used to determine the length of sequence number that is generated. As the minimum length is 4, the maximum sequence number is 4. For example, if the Code Length is set to 5, a maximum of 3 characters can be used to create a unique project activity. Consequently, the first project activity is xxxxx001 and the second project activity is xxxxx002 and so on. This is applicable when an activity is created using these sessions:
Resources Use Assignments If this check box is selected, you can use the assignments functionality in Project. Note If this check box is selected, the Assignments tab is visible in the Project (tppdm6600m400) and Activity Budget (Labor) (tpptc2630m000) sessions. Availability Type The code for the availability type. The availability type and the applicable calendar are used to calculate the start and finish time of the activity to be performed. Note This field is enabled only if you select the Use Assignments check box. Description The description or name of the code. Project Assignments for Service Related Activities If this check box is selected, project related assignments can be executed using Service and Project functionality. If this check box is cleared, project related assignments are executed by Service. Creating assignments using Project is blocked. Note
Activity Relationships Default Lead/Lag Unit Define the default time unit used for the lead/ lag time. Number Group The default number group defined for the activity/budget relationship. Description The description or name of the code. for the number group. Series The code that identifies the order series for the specific activity/budget relationship number group. Description The description or name of the code. for the series. Text If this check box is selected, the text related to the scheduling exists. External Scheduling Interface External Scheduling Package Integration External Scheduling Package If this check box is selected, the project is integrated with an external scheduling package. Currency The currency in which prices and rates in the external scheduling package are expressed. Time Unit for Hours The quantity of resources assigned (cost objects such as equipment, labor, or subcontracting) expressed in terms of time. Allowed values Description The description or name of the code. Date Type for Scheduling You can choose one of the two date types determined by the external scheduling package (ESP) to schedule your activities in Infor LN. Allowed values Export Actual Spent Hours If this check box is selected, LN exports the data for actual hours spent to the external scheduling package. Note The actual spent hours are calculated based on the hours for the cost objects such as labor, equipment and subcontracting. Repository Location The path to the copy of the project XML file. Note The copy of an XML file, which is exported or imported from an External Scheduling Package, is stored at this secure location. By default, the XML files are stored in the directory of the user who imports/ exports the XML files. However, using the repository location, you can specify the location on the server that can be accessed by all the users. If the XML files are not transferred to the specified location on the server, you can only import/ export the XML files in the Regenerate mode, using the External Scheduling Interface (tppss2231m000) session. The following constraints are applicable to the repository location:
Export OBS Export OBS If this check box is selected, the organization breakdown structure data of the project is exported to the external scheduling package. OBS Mapping to Outline Code 1-10 The outline code of the external scheduling package that must be mapped with the organization breakdown structure code in Infor LN. Note This field is enabled only if you select the Export OBS check box. Transfer Resource Material If this check box is selected, material data is transferred to the external scheduling package (ESP) that you use. By default, this checkbox is selected for new projects exported using the External Scheduling Interface (tppss2231m000) session.

By default, this checkbox is selected for new projects exported using the External Scheduling Interface (tppss2231m000) session. Employees If this check box is selected, employee data is transferred to the external scheduling package (ESP) that you use. By default, this checkbox is selected for new projects exported using the External Scheduling Interface (tppss2231m000) session. Trade Group If this check box is selected, trade groups data is transferred to the external scheduling package (ESP) that you use.

By default, this checkbox is selected for new projects exported using the External Scheduling Interface (tppss2231m000) session. Sundry Cost If this check box is selected, sundry data is transferred to the external scheduling package (ESP) that you use. By default, this checkbox is selected for new projects exported using the External Scheduling Interface (tppss2231m000) session. Transfer Assignment Material The assignment level of material cost objects (resources) exported to the activities/budget lines (tasks) of the external schedule package. By default, the assignment level is set to the value set in this field, for new projects exported in the External Scheduling Interface (tppss2231m000) session. Allowed values Labor The assignment level of labor cost objects (resources) exported to the activities/budget lines (tasks) of the external schedule package. Allowed values Equipment The assignment level of equipment cost objects (resources) exported to the activities/budget lines (tasks) of the external schedule package.

PRP Warehouse Order Series The default order series for planned PRP warehouse orders. PRP Purchase Orders Number Group The default number group for the planned PRP purchase orders. Purchase Order Series The default order series for PRP purchase orders. Service Orders Number Group The default number group defined for the service orders. The number groups are defined in the Number Groups (tcmcs0151m000) session. Service Order Series The code that identifies the order series for the specific service order number group. The series are defined in the First Free Numbers (tcmcs0150m000) session. Check Inventory for Warehouse Deliveries If this check box is selected, the availability of inventory for warehouse deliveries is selected.
Where the check reveals that none of these conditions is met, planned PRP warehouse orders (except those used to transfer a customized item) cannot be confirmed.
