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.
