| # Case description The input for this case is a request from the customer for a quotation to be copied into an actual order that contains the commercial, technical, and quality requirements, as specified during the quotation phase. First, in the main function project definition, the status of the project can be changed. Next, the project can be defined in more detail and the final product-and process engineering can be implemented. Based on the information that comes from engineering, the final modifications and additions to the project can be made and a budget can be calculated for the project. Next, in Project Planning, you can make a planning and check the planning against the available capacity. If the available capacity is insufficient, you can make modifications to the plan. Based on this planning, you can begin to implement the project, and you can the send the purchase orders, as well as the long-lead-time items, to the supplier or subcontractor. As soon as the goods are received, the process can continue. Project Administration is now triggered to administrate hours, costs and commitments, revenues, and progress. Immediately after Project Administration, Project Cost and Planning Control are triggered so the progress made to the project can be measured. Execution Control can then initiate the actual start of the execution and can trigger picking, inspection, shipping of the goods and installation at project site. Installation of equipment and machinery on site is performed by creating service orders from the labor requirements. Because Project Cost and Planning Control controlled the project during the total implementation of the project, the project appears to have ended. From there, project evaluation and closing will be triggered. At this point, clusters are created using the As-Built structure of Project Product for service and maintenance. Next, you can send and further process the invoice through Invoicing, Credit Control, and Bank Statement Processing. |
