Connect Projects, Contracts and Additional Objects
Explanation
A project, sales contract, sub contract and some other objects can be connected
to a risk analysis as a way of helping to address the risk posed by them. The
most common connections are to a project, sales or sub contract and they can
be entered in the risk analysis header. While the connections that are
entered in the header are validated, the others will be for reference only.
All the objects connected will be displayed in the Risk
Analysis/Object Connection tab.
Prerequisites
- The project should exist as a record in IFS/Project Management at the
time of connection.
- IFS/Sales Contract Management should be installed before a sales contract
can be appended to the risk analysis.
- IFS/Sub Contract Management should be installed before a sub contract
can be appended to the risk analysis.
- The rest of the objects should exist as a record in IFS Cloud at the
time of connection.
System Effects
- A project, sales or sub contract connection will have an impact on the
risk analysis detail information if there has not been a prior connection
to a project, sales or sub contract.
- If the current risk owner and customer of the
risk analysis differ from the project in the risk analysis header, these
values will be replaced with the values defined in the project that
has been entered in the header.
- If a program has been defined on the project that is connected to
the risk analysis, the risk analysis will inherit the Program ID and
Program Description.
- If any additional objects have been connected that
will be displayed in the Risk Analysis/Object Connection
tab.
