| Use this session to check the actual progress of the activity per project and to generate network messages if the actual progress deviates from the planned progress. For each activity ERP LN carries out the following checks: If the project is a subproject, ERP LN checks that the earliest start date of an activity is not before the start date of the subproject. The desired start date for an activity must lie between the earliest and latest start date. On the basis of the progress of the preceding activities, ERP LN checks whether the activity can start. During this process, it signals whether the previous activities are before or behind schedule. ERP LN checks that the actual start date does not lie before the earliest (computed) start date or after the latest planned start date of the activity. If the project is a subproject, ERP LN checks that the earliest finish date of an activity does not lie AFTER the completion date of the subproject. The desired finish date for an activity must lie between the earliest and latest finish date. ERP LN checks that the computed finish date of the activity does not lie AFTER the latest planned finish date. ERP LN checks that the actual finish date does not lie before the earliest (computed) finish date or after the latest planned finish date of the activity. ERP LN reports any deviations between the project's planned and actual progress, or inconsistencies in the network planning. Related topics Network planning To use From and To fields
Fields | Description
Project | A collection of manufacturing and purchasing actions that are performed especially for a particular customer order. A project is initiated by a customer order for items having a To Order order policy. The purpose of a project is to plan and coordinate the production of these items.

Otherwise, a project can include: Customized item data (BOMs and routings) Project planning (activity planning) A budget is a special type of project. A budget is used to plan and estimate, not to carry out production.
Check Date | Enter the check date used by ERP LN to check the progress of activities. The check date must therefore be the same as the date on which you entered the progress of activities.
