Copy Activity Budget Lines (tpptc2245m000)

Use this session to copy activity budget lines from one activity to another existing activity of the same project or a different project. The activity must be of the type Work Package or Project Cost Account.

Note: 

ERP allows you to copy the budget lines only if:

  • The status of the Copy to Project is Free or Active.
  • The status of the activity of Copy to Project is Free or Active.
  • The Budgeting Method of the Copy to Project and the Copy from Projects is the same.
  • The Copy to Project’s plan is not the leading plan for the project budgeted by element and controlled by activity.
  • The Copy to and Copy from Project and Plan are the same, the activity is different.

If the source activity budget line has an external schedule linked, the link is not copied.

If the target activity has scheduled dates, the copied budget lines, by default, have the same scheduled dates as that of the activity.
