Creating Basic Data for a Checklist

Prerequisites

You created a checklist (see Creating Project Elements) and are in the editing view of this checklist on the Basic Data tab page (see also Opening a Project or Project Version).

Note Note

You cannot make any changes if you opened a snapshot.

You created roles (see Creating a Role).

In the Language field (upper right-hand corner) you selected the language you want to use for creating language-dependent texts (see also Multilingual Capabilities).

End of the note.

Procedure

General Area

Enter a name for the checklist.

The name is language-dependent but you can enter a name of your choice. The unique, language-independent number has been entered by default. However, you can change it.

Select a checklist type.
You must enter a checklist type before you can release a checklist.

Note
If you have assigned checklist types to project types in Customizing for SAP Portfolio and Project Management under Project Management Structure Define Project Type then you can enter only a checklist type that is assigned to the project type of your current project.

End of the note.
Specify persons responsible (see Persons Responsible for Project Elements).
Enter a description, as required.
The description is language-dependent.
If you want to release the checklist for processing, choose the entry Release in the Change Status field.
The system changes the current status from Created to Released. The checklist is now released for processing (see Editing Project Structures).

Note

Once you have released the checklist, you can no longer change the checklist type. You cannot delete the checklist either.

For more information about the status and the effects of changing the status, see Status of Checklists.

End of the note.
