Associate CBS Codes with Activities

In a Project, the activities are grouped together by CBS Codes.

The following shows a sample project data:

In this sample, the activities A1160, A1180 are under a CBS Code built by the following sequence of codes:

In this sample, activity A1160 (Plot Plan) is associated with CBS Code: P -00050-EV-C-OB.5.ON.DA.DA03.F350.U11.095.ABC20.CAct04. The XML file that is generated by Unifier does not include the entire string of CBS Code with all segments. The structure of the XML file is built based on the Parent/Child CBS segments. As a result, activity A1160 (Plot Plan) has reference to its immediate parent segment, which in this example is CAct04, only. The CAct04 segment will have a reference to ABC20 segment, the ABC20 has reference to 095 and so on.

To associate an activity with a CBS Code, the system will go through this hierarchical structure of CBS segments to build the final CBS Code. Unifier will perform this function when CBS Code import option is checked on the Options tab of Data Mapping. The CBS Code string generated will then be validated with leaf level CBS Codes created under Cost Manager. If the CBS Code is available, then the activity will be associated with the CBS Code. If the CBS Code is not available, then the import process will fail.

Additional options are available to create entire string of CBS Code. These options can be used to address any structural differences between the way CBS Codes are built in Unifier Cost Manager and CBS Codes in Primavera Project.
