Project configuration steps - Master data

Projects use some specific master data which can be found managed in General/Projects.

Therefore, it is recommended to setup theses data before starting to work on projects.

Field	Purpose	Comments
General/Projects/Activity Priorities	This attribute is used to categorize the project activity priority (e.g. "Low", "Medium" and "High").	The categorization may be used to highlight, sort, filter, project activities.
General/Projects/Activity Statuses	This information defines the status of a project activity. The possible values for status are: "To Start" (the default value), "Running", "Suspended" and "Closed".	The status influences the possibility of entering timesheets on project activities. Entering timesheets is allowed only for project activities in status "Running".
General/Projects/Activity Types	This information defines the type of a project activity (e.g. "Analysis", "Implementation", "Test").	The categorization may be used to highlight, sort, filter project activities.
General/Projects/Cost Occurrences Categories	This information defines the types of cost occurrences available (e.g. "HW", "SW", "Services", etc.).	The categorization may be used to highlight, sort, filter cost occurrences. However, it has to be noted that budgeting cost occurrences in estimations is done based on these categories (e.g. "100" for "HW").
