cProjects - Approval Document for a Task

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is it possible to create some approval scenario for a task in cProject.

There are some tasks which need cost approval. Can anyone recommend an easy to implement solution using the standard by either reusing approval document or attaching a BW report with a task.

Dear Vishal,

the approval process is specific to (and exclusively implemented for) phases. Tasks and phases are different entities on a rather fundamental level and without heavy modifications approvals for tasks cannot be realised - if possible at all.

Best regards,

Hi Thomas,

I do understand and agree with your opinion. The issue is that we need to get an object approved that is not a phase in the main project definition. So just wondering if we can create this object as a phase under a subproject definition - This is just to avoid these huge modifications. So if we can treat a task as a phase of the subproject and trigger the approval of this, do you see any issues technically ? (Though there are issues in functional design, but they would outnumber the benefits if it can be realised ?)

Cheers

Dear Vishal

You can certainly <b>treat a task as a phase</b> of the subproject and trigger the approval of this.

There is no problem for this

what u can do is

define a task have subproject attached to it and you are thru,

the subproject ll have a phase for which you can have approval process.
