         <ListIntro>This case makes the following assumptions concerning the
		  business:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>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.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The overall scope of the project is managed using Work
		  Breakdown Structure (WBS).</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Prototyping and Research &amp; 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).</ListItem>
         <ListItem>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.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>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.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>An invoice is usually not sent in the quotation phase. Invoices
		  can only be sent in the actual contract phase.</ListItem>
