Define Scheduling Dependency Attributes for Work Task

Explanation

This activity is used to define scheduling dependency attributes between dependent work tasks. Dependencies can be defined between tasks belonging to the same work order or to different work orders, and between Work Tasks and Bundle Tasks. These attributes will govern the scheduling behavior of dependent activities in Planning and Scheduling Optimization when scheduling work tasks. All Task Dependency related information can be viewed on the Work Task Dependency Overview page.

Once the dependencies are defined for the Work Task, the corresponding attributes can be done Work Task/Scheduling/Scheduling Dependency Attributes.

Prerequisites

Before defining scheduling dependency attributes, the following must have been completed:

• A minimum of two work tasks/bundle tasks must exist.
• Dependency relationship must be defined between the work tasks/bundle tasks under Work Task/Dependencies or Bundle Task/Dependencies.
• Tasks should belong to the same Scheduling Dataset to be defined as "Other Dependencies" outside the work order.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, scheduling dependency attributes between dependent work tasks will be defined. These dependency attributes are used to control the scheduling dependency behavior in PSO scheduling for the work tasks.
