In Project–>Parameters–>Project Stage–> Include your project type and mark the check boxes which ever is needed. For your case check “created” for the Project Type “Drug Devolepment”. Then u can create project.
I believe the user is asking for all possible implications of creating a new project type - the stage message was the first issue, they probably want to know all of them.
It is clearly not as simple as just adding a new field.
It is the same as created - you are trying to run your new project type through the stages, which means the project type has to be setup to go through these stages. I would suggest it is a requirement to have a basic understanding of the functionality prior to development, otherwise how do you know you are developing something required rather than the standard system handling this. I would stop now, understand, assess and then plan.
The obvious question is why is it not a group - why is it a type, what fundamental project aspect does drug development have as a project that is not covered by the current types? You are pulling on one very very long piece of string here.
By asking this question it shows you do not understand the module, therefore you should not be designing another type. Tell me the business justificiation for the different type!
I am not a developer, but the fundamental processing and related concepts of the project type make the address book type advice poor advice. Yes you can add it, but all impacts post this you will still have issues with.
My advice is get the manual, read it, play with projects, process them, then post specific questions.
I was Just trying to help him on How he can Create new Project type…I dont know why he wants to create new projcet type ?
My answer was just related to new Project type not on Process and Work flow on Project Module.
and as far as I know the Implication will not be that dire as the new changes will get automatically Synchronise with New Project type so i think this is a normal Operation if he Creates new project type.
So by creating the new project type in this manner it automatically gets added to the stage tab to allow processing the project type through the stages? As the project type also impacts on the financial postings it would handle this as well. Fine if it does, so the poster will ask no more questions and can just add another type, without a base understanding of why they are actually doing it.
i know adding new project type is of new use unless you know proper Functionality…I Agree on that Adams and Kranthi.
I Said I just helped him how he can create new project type. that’s all !!
I know even he does not know what he wants to ask and why he wants new project type, it can be understood by the way he asks, Right ?
Guys I Totally Agree With You that without Workflow knowledge there is no point creating new Project type. but just helped him with 1 + 1 = 2 nothing more then that.
I would recommend to approach an consultant having enough knowledge in project accounting - and examine the process/ requirement. if needed then go for any customization. And it is also very difficult for some to explain you the all concepts here.
