 Assigning an Order to a Project

    • If you have only entered one WBS element, you can decide whether or not you want to copy the WBS element dates for the order.

    • If you copy the project dates, the system changes the basic order dates in the Dates section into the project basic dates.

    • If you do not copy the project dates, the original order dates remain decisive for scheduling.
