How do you create subprojects in AX 2009?
Are we talking about in project accounting? If so, then you have to specify a format, e.g. “-####” in the format field below the grid.
Otherwise, please be a little bit more specific, and I will be happy to assist…
yes, thank you.
In projects. I created one yesterday on the virtual PC (by using the Wizard).

Is the Wizard the only way to create the subprojects?

I noticed on the virtual PC when I did create one, it did the following:
Example Format for Project is CR##### (so lets say project is CR0123)
I used -## for the subproject format. (so lets say project is CR0123-01
But when I created (using Wizard) it is creating
CR-0123-01-01 Design
CR-0123-01-02 Staging
CR-0123-01-03 Setup
CR-0123-01-04 Review
Like as though there are activities assigned with the project type. How is this done?
Hi Dayna,
Between the upper pane and the lower pane we have a button to create a Go to Sub- Project and beside to that we have to specify “#” in the format box .
The creation of Sub projects is totally or partially based on the Number sequence length. by default we have a string size limit upto 10 characters (whish includes special, numeric and alph a characters) so increase the space of Numbers(String Size) we have do it using the below path
AOT \Data Dictionary\Extended Data Types\ProjIdBase
This will help you in extending the String Size and create a Sub- Project.
This is a manual way and the second option is is creating using Wizard
Hope this would solve your understanding on Sub projects…
