The code that uniquely identifies the project.
Activities (tppss2100m000)Use this session to view and maintain:
Note
Project The code that uniquely identifies the project. Status The project status. Plan The code that uniquely identifies the plan. Activity Position The activity's position number. Activity The code that uniquely defines the activity. Activity General Description The description or name of the code. Search Key The search key. 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 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 control 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 check box in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session is selected. You can view this field only if the All Activity Types check box is selected in the Project Parameters (tppdm0100s000) session. Extension The extension. Critical Capacity Type The critical capacity-type determines the cost type from which the percentage completed must be transferred. This value is transferred using the Generate Physical Progress in Planning (tpppc1250m000) session to the 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. Invoicing Progress based Invoicing 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. If this check box is cleared, the cost of additional work (direct work) cannot be settled. Note This field is only available in a project with Invoice Type field set to Progress Invoice in the Contract Lines (tpctm1110m000) session. Billable If this check box is selected, the activity costs are billed to the customer. Control Physical 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 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. Budgeting 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. Physical 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
Asset Asset 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. Pricing Sales Price The default sales price per unit. Sales Price The home currency. Sales Price The amount in the home currency. Currency Rate/Rate Factor The rate. Rate/Rate Factor The rate factor. Settlement Price The home currency for the cost amount. Settlement Price The unit price of additional work which may be charged during the progress invoicing procedure. This price may differ from the sales price for the budgeted work. The settlement price is printed under the heading additional work on the report in the Print Progress Invoice Specifications (tppin1410m000) session. You can enter a value in this field only if the To be Settled check box is selected. Settlement Price The home currency. Settlement Price The amount in the home currency. Currency Rate/Rate Factor The rate of the settlement price. Rate/Rate Factor The rate factor. Planning Tracking Scheduled Start Date Scheduled start date of the activity. Scheduled Finish Date Scheduled finish date of the activity. Actual Start Date Actual start date of the activity. Actual Finish Date Actual finish date of the activity. 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. Planning Planning Method The planning method is used to calculate the earliest and latest start and finish dates for the project. The value specified in this field displays the method from the Project (tppdm6600m400) session. Allowed values Earliest Start Date The earliest date on which the activity can be started. Earliest Finish Date The earliest date on which the activity can be completed. Latest Start Date The latest date on which the activity can be started. Latest Finish Date The latest date on which the activity can be completed. Scheduling Calendar The calendar which specifies the working hours of the Activities. Description The description or name of the code. / The code that identifies the availability type for which you can use the calendar. Note This field is enabled only if the Calendar field is specified . Actual Calendar Indicates the calendar code and the availability type linked to the project. Description The description or name of the code. Calendar Origin Indicates the entity where the Actual Calendar is defined. Duration The expected duration of the activity. Time Unit The time unit in which the duration is expressed. Description The description or name of the code. 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. Float ( The free float time between one activity and the next. The free float time indicates how many days the activity can be extended without affecting the progress of other related activities. ( The total float of an activity is the maximum time expressed in (working) days in which that activity can be shifted without affecting the planned completion date of the relevant project. The total float time is calculated: Total Float = Latest Finish - Earliest Start - Activity Duration The latest finish date and earliest start date are expressed in project days. Earned Value Tracking Earned Value Method The earned value method is a way to calculate the planned value and earned value. Linked Activity If the earned value method is apportioned, you need to link an activity to this activity. Start Percentage The percentage value assigned to the start point of the activity. At the start of the activity, a specified percentage of the project activity can be considered as earned value. The sum of the start and end percentage must be 100%. Note This field is enabled only when the Earned Value Method is set to Start and End Percentage. The percentage will be used as default for the To use earned value related data as part of the time phased budget. End Percentage The percentage value assigned to the end point of the activity.
