Manual Activity number in project WBS

Finance and Operations/AX Developer Forum

Hi,

We require the activity numbers in every project to be numbered like 1,2,3…etc. We can accept the format like projectno-1,projectno-2mprojectno-3 etc… which will be unique in the system. Can we achieve this with manual activity number entry at the WBS structure. We have to share this job numbers with client and all factory depend on it and we can’t accept the default numbers. please advice.

Regards,

You can not keep the activity numbers to be manual. Check the discussion here: http://dynamicsuser.net/forums/p/77259/429041.aspx#429041

Dear Kiran,

Thanks for the link.

We are a ship yard and we are using activity for jobs inside the project.

The WBS is good feature and we like to use it.

But the job numbers have to share with the client and has its legal value. Also in each project [Ship] it must start from must start from job one and to be continued as 1,2,3…etc

If not manual can it inherit from the project like projectno-1,projectno-2…etc.

If we added a new column through customization we have to change Procurement, inventory and Time sheet and all other screen where we have to choose project and activity.

Please advice.

Regards,

Dear Kiran,

Also we could use WBS number, but we can’t see the WBS numbers in procurement, inventory and time sheet screen while choosing the activity. can we show the WBS number in the activity choosing screens. if we could show it, it would solve the issue.

We can’t see the WBS number anywhere except in WBS form so you can’t use it on transactional forms and limited to use the Activity number itself. Also my earlier suggestion to remove the relation between smmActivityNumber & smmActivityID doesn’t seem to be working. Let me check on this and get back to you.
