Topics• Cost and Service Items • Budget Adjustment addition• External Scheduling Interface additions• Optional pegging of project based warehouse orders• Multi-currency• New orders for Contracts• Cost Forecasting• Workflow for project cost• Cash Forecast (Financials)
Cost and Service items• It was not possible to use items of type Cost and Service in:
• Estimating
• Budgeting
• Requirements Planning
• These type of items could be used as contract deliverables or as cost added in Procurement and costed to Project. So there could be costs while there was no budget. That made budget control difficult.
• We now allow these item types in the domains mentioned. The items will always be part of cost type Material but in Requirements Planning only for PRP Purchase Orders
• Note: Project specific Cost or Service items were and are not possible!
Calendar Export optional• Why?• Calendars are not always relevant and XML files will be smaller • While testing any issues in the calendar setup can be avoided• Note:
If on next export calendar is relevant after all than export should be Regenerate
Improve Milestone Handling• Allow Milestones on other levels of the activity structure than the top• For milestones dependent on activities (or other milestones) set Parent
Activity• Independent milestones still will be displayed on top of the Gantt
Connection Node• Sometimes different parts of a project are handled by different
organizational elements• Therefore it is possible to link several external projects to one LN project• An option is available to select lower level of activity structure to be used
Multiple Projects for Im-/Export• One-by-one import or export is very labor intensive• Therefore it is possible to select multiple projects that need to be exported
Miscellaneous Topics• Contract and Contract Line selection added• Options to create Project from Contract Line and Deliverable• The Bid option in Estimating has been added to the Customer 360• The Bids session has been reorganized• The Elements session has been restructured
• Editable Grid
• Multiple sessions revisited to merge tabs and eliminate clicks• Hide OBS options if Activity Types are not used• Hide Plan (as part of activity) if not in use
