| # Business assumptions This case makes the following assumptions concerning the business: In this business environment, ERP Enterprise Project is used as the supporting functionality for these types of projects, because the project is highly activity-driven. The overall scope of the project is managed using Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Prototyping and Research & Development are left out of the scope. Engineering is only the drawing and mental process. The end deliverable is a production bill of material (P-BOM). For managing the quotation creation process, no complex project management tools are used, a project for the quotation creation process is solely defined for entering engineering hours. Prefinancing occurs frequently in this environment, which can have an impact on the quotation, for example, a request for prepayment. However, this does not show explicitly in the case. An invoice is usually not sent in the quotation phase. Invoices can only be sent in the actual contract phase. |
