      <Paragraph>The project <Link href="/baanerp/tp/glossary/glossary#000326" role="glossary">activity structure</Link> or <Link href="/baanerp/tp/glossary/glossary#ElemenStruct_tp" role="glossary">element structure</Link> and the actual consumed
		material items linked to the project, are copied to the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts" role="package">Service</GUIRef> 
         <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#000310" role="glossary">physical breakdown</Link> structure. The process enables
		identifying the project items that need service and maintenance. The actual
		(history) data of the consumed items linked to the project is considered for
		this <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp" role="package">Project</GUIRef>- <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts" role="package">Service</GUIRef> integration.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>The actual consumed material items stored in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp" role="package">Project</GUIRef> cost history are
		copied. If the item is marked 'Serialized', a serial number is generated for
		the item, based on a predefined <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000300" role="glossary">mask</Link>. If the generation of the serial number fails, an
		error is reported. It is possible to generate a dummy or final serial number
		for the material item. You can later replace the dummy serial number with the
		final number. For elements and activities, the number generated is considered
		as the final serial number.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>The activity structure as displayed in the <Link href="/baanerp/tp/pss/tppss2500m000" role="session">Activities (tppss2500m000)</Link> session is used as input for
		the physical breakdown structure. LN creates a serialized item for each activity.
		The parent activity is used as the top serialized item in the physical
		breakdown structure.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>The element structure as displayed in the <Link href="/baanerp/tp/ptc/tpptc1509m000" role="session">Element Budget Structure (tpptc1509m000)</Link> session is used

      <Paragraph>If the project element/activity structure undergoes changes, and
		the copy process must be repeated. The existing physical breakdown structure in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts" role="package">Service</GUIRef> is not overwritten.
		The new structure is added to the existing records.</Paragraph>
