Unit The code that uniquely identifies the unit in which you specify the quantity of the activity. Activity Type The type of activity. Parent Activity The activity that encompasses the child activity. A tree activity-structure is formed by linking an activity to a parent activity. If you select the parent, you must take the following conditions into account: The parent of a WBS element is always a WBS element, unless it is from the top of the activity-structure. The parent of a project cost-account is always a WBS element, unless the project cost-account is the top of the activity-structure. The parent of a planning package is a project cost-account or a planning package. If you do not use an organizational breakdown-structure, the parent of the planning package is either a WBS element, or a planning package that forms the top of the activity-structure. The parent of the work package can be either a work package, a planning package or a project cost-account. If you do not use an organizational breakdown-structure, the work package can have a WBS element, a planning package or a work package as its parents. Alternatively, the work package can itself form the top of the activity-structure. OBS Element The organizational breakdown-structure element that you want to link with a project cost-account. This enables you to make an organizational unit or employee responsible for a subset of the overall project. This responsibility is expressed in the time-phased budget, in project scheduling, and in performance measurement. Critical Capacity Type In the Project Scheduling System module, the critical capacity-type determines the cost type from which the percentage completed must be transferred from production progress to time-related progress. Choose a critical capacity-type to specify the cost-type progress to be exchanged. This is necessary because the progress in the Project Production Control module can be more detailed than the progress of the activity. The project control budget-type determines where this progress is taken from: either from the progress entered on elements or on activities. Budget Status The budget status of the activity. Only the Actual and Final status activities can be used for history and can be invoiced. Phys. Progress Level The default level at which progress is recorded. Cost Control If this check box is selected, you can include this activity in your cost control (report). Work Authorization Status The work authorization status of the activity. On Hold Date The date after which the work execution on the activity must be suspended. Note The default value is the current date. The field is a display field. Reason Code The reason for holding the work execution of the activity. The field is enabled only when the Work Authorization Status field is set to On Hold. Description The description or name of the code. Progress based Invoicing You can decide whether and how you want the progress installments of the activity to be invoiced. Time Unit The code that uniquely identifies the time unit. Quantity The quantity needed for this activity. Production Rate The rate per production unit. Number of Time Units The number of time unit s. Phys. Progress Quantity This field is used for cost control purposes and progress recording. If the invoice method is Unit Rate or Progress for the project, the progress quantity must be filled. This quantity can act as sales quantity for unit rate and progress invoicing by multiplying it with the sales price. Note For a Unit Rate method the actual quantity can differ from the estimated quantity. For the Progress method, the progress must be equal to the physical progress quantity to be able to invoice the work.
