Connection between Programs and Measures
Use
The following measures can be assigned to the end nodes (the program positions with no positions below them in the hierarchy) of the investment program:
Appropriation requests
Internal orders
Work breakdown structure (WBS) elements (refer to Assignment of WBS Elements )
Maintenance orders (refer to Automatic Assignment of Maintenance Orders )
Assignment of Measures to Program Positions
Prerequisites
In Customizing for
Investment Management
, you entered the object types (orders, WBS elements, appropriation requests) that you want to allow as assignable objects for the given program type (
Investment Programs
Master Data
Define Program Types
). You can change these allowed assignments in existing program positions.
Features
You can assign measures or appropriation requests to program positions of an investment program in two places: either in master data maintenance of the measure (on the
Investments
or
Control
tab page), or from master data maintenance of the program position (
Assignments
pushbutton). You can assign any number of measures or appropriation requests to a program position.
With projects, you can assign WBS elements from any level in the work breakdown structure to an investment program position. It is also possible to assign subordinate WBS elements to differing investment program positions.
Note
It is not possible to directly assign assets from the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) component to a program position, since it is not possible to plan and budget assets directly. However, you can make an indirect assignment using a statistical project (refer to Blanket Asset Budgets ).
