DIP Profile / Quotation / PS / Quantitiies from External activities

Hi,

My Project's WBS contains external activities assigned to it and those activities have some quantities with them (defined in activities quantity).

When i create quotation from dp81, all quantities which are maintained as internal activities are picked up based on activity type, however quantities which are maintained for external activities are not picked up. one important this is that the amount for these external activities are appearing as per expected in dp81.

I have checked and verified the configuration of DIP Profile, but cannot find the solution. any idea on picking up external activities in dp81?

Thanks

Hi

1. Activity Number doesnot pick up data from either the application layer or the database layer in standard DIP, so far I know. It needs an exit within RRB.

2. Make your Cost Element also relevant for Mat Det. & check for quantity of external activity.

Dear krisap,

it didnt help me out. the results are same. quantities for external activities are not coming up.

isnt it a very common scenario i.e. to prepare quotation including quantities of external activiities as well?

Thanks.

Why don't you paste this "Time Recording External Resources (279)" in google and check? Robert has given a straight forward reply to the query. Its not so easy to detail it out here in the forum.

Thanks for your reply, but i dont have the problem w.r.t. to cost. costs for external activities are appearing in dp81, but my problem is for quantities (activity quantity).

HI,

Ok.

Can you give your Characteristics / sources & material determination details.

HI,

"Activity Type" & "Internal / External Activity" are both different.

You might have maintained "Activity Type" as one of the characteristics for your sources in DIP Profile.

When you maintained "Internal Activity" & assinged a workcenter, the "Activity Type" (maintained in the workcenter in Costing tab or which you selected using F4 option in the Project) ....... is responsible for cost updation & is subsequently proposed in your DP81.

Use "Cost Element" as your characterisitc & then try some cost updation for your external activities with reference to this CE.
