Budgets for contract deliverables

Previously, budgets for a deliverable could be maintained only manually. There was a risk that items were handled twice, once based on the deliverable and once based on the budget.

These new features are now supported:

• A budget can be created for hardware and non-hardware deliverables in the new Generate Budget for Deliverables (tppdm7200m400) session.
• Budget lines that are created based on deliverables are excluded in the Project Requirements Planning (PRP).

For budget generation, either the cost component of the item or the cost component details can be used, which results in one amount or multiple amounts (depending on the number of cost components). In Cost Control, the same options can be used.

These constraints are applicable:

• To generate budget lines, a project peg is required on the deliverable.
• Deliverables of type Maintenance are not included.
• The budget's level of detail is limited. A BOM or routing cannot be used.
• If the cost details option is used for budget generation, the cost rate on the budget line cannot be changed because the budget line and cost details must match.
• To prevent too high and double figures, either the cost component or the cost component details option can be used in Cost Control.
