Connect DOP Header to Project Activity
Explanation
Use this menu choice to connect a DOP Header to an activity after the DOP Header
has been created.
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.
