Manual Multilevel Controlling in PPM5

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

When defining the multilevel controlling assignment in the Project Management area, we are able to select a PS project and see it in the screen, but the Assign button in it is deactivated so we cannot assign any WBS element to the structure.

What are the criteria to enable the assignment between PS and PPM?

Note: the WBS element has the Planning and Accounting assignment checks enabled.

Best regards,

Neil

Hi Neil,

Did you check if both projects are in a "released" status?

The PS project was released, but not the Project Management project. Anyway, after Project Management project release the problem is still appearing - Assing button is still deactivated.

Does the PPM project has to be released in order to assign WBS? I thought that it made sense to create the assignment before the release of the project.

Best regards,

Neil

Neil,

Check what is the Tranfer Type for the selected project type which you have selected to create project.

Based on the transfer type, the Assign Button will be enabled for the project on below actions:

1) Save

2) On release of project

3) On status change "To-Assign"

Cheers

Thanks Amit, that was the problem, it was wrongly configured in the project type.
