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.
