Generic items in control data

Using the Generate Control Data (tpptc1230m000) session, you can generate control data for the specified projects based on the budget lines. Generic items can be present for either Element or Activity. Control data for generic items can be generated for both element and activity budget. You can generate control data for generic items that are part of the material budget lines. You can also generate cost forecast (material lines) for the generic items.

Generic items are included in control data only if the Include Generic Items in Control Data check box is selected in the Project (tppdm6600m400) session.

You must set the Project Order System field to PRP or Planned PRP Warehouse Order in the Item - Project (tppdm0105s000) session to generate the planned warehouse orders based on the projected budget, for the generic item.

  1. Create an element or activity budget.
  2. Specify a generic item.
  3. Generate control data for generic items from the element or activity budget. You can verify the control data using the Control Data (Material lines) (tpptc1535m00) session.
