This transaction allows the user to display the entire Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for a project, including the Project Definition and/or the WBS Element Overview.

The WBS is a hierarchical model of a project that can be split into manageable units (by phase, function, or object). The WBS element hierarchy forms the basis for organization and coordination in the project.

Projects can be multi-leveled & multi-year. Project expenditures and revenues can be posted to every level in the WBS Hierarchy.

Individual WBS Elements can have attributes (Project Type, Applicant Responsible Person, etc.). Each WBS element within a project can have different attributes.

Note: This is the primary transaction that will be utilized to display information about a Project.

This transaction allows the user to display ALL information, attributes, and characteristics about the Project Definition, Structure, and the WBS element hierarchy from within one transaction. All the information about a Project can be displayed by selecting various “tabs” or double-clicking on a specific element. In addition to this transaction, other menu paths are available to access just the Project definition, Structure, or a WBS Element individually.
