Connect DOP Header to Project Activity
Explanation
This activity is used to connect a DOP header to a project activity after the DOP
header has been created.
A DOP header is connected to a project activity using the
Connect To Activity dialog. To open the dialog click
Project, then click Connect to Activity. In the
dialog specify the project activity that should be connected.
Prerequisites
- Only DOP headers in status Created can be connected to an activity.
- The DOP header can not be connected to several activities - it's
only possible to connect a DOP header to one activity.
- The project to connect to must be in status Approved or
Started.
- The project activity must have status Planned or
Released to be available.
- The site of the DOP header must be defined as an allowed site for the
connected project.
- It shouldn't be possible to connect a DOP header that's connected/created
as a job (attribute financial integration should be No Integration), against
an activity.
- The project code part may not already be preposted with a financial
project.
System Effects
- The DOP header will be marked with the connected project/activity.
- Pre-posting will be inherited from the project. As the DOP header already
exists, it may already have pre-postings. If pre-posting on the code part
already exists, they will be replaced by the project pre-posting. If the
project pre-posting has no value for a code part then the existing pre-posting
on the object will remain unchanged. Also the project and activity sequence
will be posted.
- The DOP header appears as a connection in the Project Info/Connections-form.
- The DOP header will return committed and used cost/hours and/or progress
when the connected activity runs the refresh activity calculation.
- If the DOP header start date and finish date is outside the start date
and finish date for the activity, a warning message is given.
