Project Features
Project Features are user definable fields for a Project. Per Company 20 features can be defined in the Project Control Suite Setup by selecting them from the ProjectFeatures list. The Setup also determines the sequence in which the ProjectFeatures are used.
Per Project the value of the feature can be selected from a predefined list or as free entry text. ProjectFeatures can be set from the ProjectHeader, the ProjectBudget line and the ProjectPlanning line. The ProjectFeature values are stored as a ProjectFeature Set ID and copied along in the various transactions.
- The ProjectInformation Fact-box shows the number of Features as well as the number for which a value is selected, ie: 2/5 = from a total of 5 features 2 are specified.
- The ProjectFeatures from the ProjectItem Planning line are also available from the Purchase Order line: "Project Planning Line" in the purchase order line menu".
