Manually Creating WBS Sheet
When a user receives scheduling data from a source application such as P6, Unifier creates a WBS Sheet that includes all the summary activities (WBS). Users, in this case, can view the total costs associated with the WBS in the WBS Sheet.
With the ability to create a manual activity sheet, you can create a WBS Sheet to create, update, and maintain the WBS within a Unifier project. In this case, the manually created activity sheet will associate with the WBS defined in the WBS Sheet.
A manually created WBS Sheet enables the user to do the following:
- Define the work breakdown structure for the entire project in the WBS Sheet. In this case, the work breakdown structures created in the manual WBS Sheet will be used across the manual activities.
- Define the ETC technique for WBS.
- View the rolled up costs (like planned total costs or units, actual total costs or units, at completion total costs or units, and remaining costs associated to the work breakdown structures) in this sheet.
- Define custom attributes for additional formulas like CPI, SPI calculations and so forth.
- Capture the actuals incurred from the business processes using WBS Picker.
- Assign Control Account Managers using OBS Picker
- Create variance analysis reports based on the performance of the project.
Project manager can use a manually created WBS Sheet to:
- Modify additional WBS Codes in the structure, if the WBS Codes are not associated to activity sheet.
- Add additional WBS Codes to the structure, if the WBS Codes are not associated to activity sheet.
- View the WBS Codes (hierarchy) that is associated to activity sheet, per activity sheet.
- Define the columns (from cost business processes) and to roll up of the actual units and actual costs incurred through contracts and payments.
You can add the data element "uuu_P6WBSPath" in the existing WBS attribute form. Unifier automatically adds the data element "uuu_P6WBSPath" when the user defines the new WBS attribute form. The data element "uuu_P6WBSPath" is read-only.
At runtime, the WBS Path will be populated whenever the user defines the WBS hierarchy in the Project WBS Sheet.
Note: For System WBS Sheet, the WBS Path will be empty, if the user has not defined the path in the gateway mapping.
