Confirmation Settings in the Project System 

Along with the usual Customizing settings you can make other settings in the application using three additional functions.

·        Decoupling Processes Carried out During Confirmation

·        Define cause of variance

In a project it is often the case that delays occur when activities are carried out. Identical factors can be the causes for delays, depending upon the type of the project. If this is the case you can define the causes of the variances, which are either purely informational, or are assigned to a user status, thereby triggering a workflow. For more information, see the Implementation Guide for Project System under Confirmation ® Define Causes for Variances.

·        Confirmation parameter (Implementation Guide for Project System under Confirmation ® Define Confirmation Parameters).

Here you define

·         The default values for the various indicators in the entry screen for confirmations

·         Which checks should be carried out You can stipulate that the system checks whether a date can lie in the future or that a message is issued if the work or duration confirmed varies from the planned value more than a certain percentage. If variances from the planned values exist you can start a workflow.

·         Which components the system should display in the component overview

·         Which activities can be selected

·         Which logs are generated

·         Whether data transfer occurs to the Personnel area (HR)

·         Whether actual dates in the project are updated
