Extended Attributes overview
Extended attributes can be specified in an XML, which can be used to transfer additional information from and to the external scheduling package. For example, the OBS element to an Outline code. In a XML file for Tasks and Resources, Extended Attributes are also defined with the primary key of the ERP Enterprise related tables.
Note: Attributes are mandatory and must not be modified manually in the External Scheduling Package. Modifying these attributes can lead to issues in the system.
The extended attributes for the Task or Resource are defined so that you can view both the code and description of the Activity or Budget Line. For example, ERP Enterprise Task and ERP Enterprise Task Description.
