Best Practice to Assign Network

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a question - What is best practice to Assign networks. Is it Header assignment or Activity Assignment.

I have a requirement which asks for a WBS Level Cost and Revenue posting while settlement. I followed the standard design of having a 1st level WBS and assigned a Network to that. Also have 2nd level WBSs linked to 1st level WBS, which have the activities. Is this suffice the settlement requirement.

Thanks

I wanted to confirm if the project structure i follow is good from FICO perspective so that they have no problem in project settlement. Scenario also include Revenue from Sales Order billing. Sales order has assignment to WBS1.

My project structure looks like this :

Project def

WBS1

Network (Single network for entire project)

WBS2-1

Activity1

Activity2...

WBS2-2

Activity3

Activity4...

All Activities are obviously linked to the Network

Hope this helps!

use activity assigned - this is the most common use

it is very rare to use header assigned as Nitin mentioned assy proc with no WBS

Hi,

The asked question needs more clarifications.

Header assigned Newtork is used in Assembly processing i.e. from sales order when the project is generated automatically. in that case each sales order line item will have one network assigned to it or there is activity assigned network which is observed intermediator between WBS and activity.

Regarding project profile if you want to assign the network to Proejct defination then only 1 network will be there in project struructre or if to WBS element then Each WBS will have one network.

Further you have also mentioned about settlement?? which question needs more elaboration.

We cannot understand fully your business scenario from post. As you are using WBS, you should use activity assgined network. Header assigned network will be useful in case of assembaly processing with no WBS in project.
