!! Explain the following"a. Settlement #ules
Experience has shown that manual settlement rule maintenance for verycomplex project hierarchy structures is very time-consuming and bringswith it the risk of inconsistent characteristics in settlement of customerprojects to the profitability segment. The system uses automaticgeneration to create the settlement rule and parameters, in accordancewith the strategy defined in the I!.

In milestone billing, the following functions are carried out at item level"
'etermining billing document value on a percentage basis
'ates at header level are copied from all item billing plans assigned to that header.(hen you make changes at header level )e.g. new billing dates or changes topercentage rates*, the related items are automatically changed accordingly. Thesystem does not allow you to make changes at item level.
!& Explain the following operati'e indicatorsa. Acct. Assignment Element
In assembly processing the cost object is either the sales order or theproject )(+$ element*. In most cases you use the project as the costobject. owever, if you do not want to work with projects, but want to usenetworks, you can use the sales order as the cost object.
$. Planning Element
This indicator controls whether a cost planning is possible only in those (+$elements which were defined as planning elements.
If you do not set this indicator, you can carry out cost planning in any (+$element.If you check this indicator in the planning profile system will allow you to doplanning only for the (+$ elements that have the #lanning Element indicatorticked.Even the % help for the #lanning Element indicator in a (+$ element states thesame. 'o revert if you come across something different.

$. Externally Processed Acti'ity
/ou can create externally processed activities in your network - forexample, if you award the contract for designing a machine to an
external design agency.
The system takes the data in the activity and creates a purchasere0uisition which is processed by the purchasing department. %orexternal processing purposes, you can refer to data from thepurchasing department - for example, to a purchasing info record. Thiscontains the prices and delivery times applying to external processing.

!+ Write short notea. Project Planning %oard
The project planning board has a central position in the #roject $ystem. Itsimplifies planning and controlling projects. The project planning board allows
integrated processing of your project, giving you a graphic overview of theproject objects. In the graphic interface you can create, edit and evaluate allthe data for a project. /ou can change the appearance of the project planningboard to suit your individual needs and taste.
(ith the project planning board• 2ou o4tain an o"er"ie! a4out the hierarch# and proress o-

• 2ou can access all the iportant data in #our project9 and-or e*aple
$. ,apacity Planning
The economic use of resources is an objective for many areas of acompany. The component 12apacity #lanning1 is available in the 34$ystem for this purpose.2apacity planning supports planning in all its phases"
In the project system you can plan various date types, such as basic datesand forecast dates. In this process, you plan basic dates only. To do this,you copy the scheduled dates of the activities into the dates of the (+$elements.
To carry out the scheduling, you call up the planning board from the#roject +uilder. The project planning board provides you with anoverview of the hierarchy and the se0uence of your project.It is subdivided into two areas"A ta4le area !ith in-oration a4out the o4jects (le-t side)A raphical representation o- the schedulin situation

2osts and revenues are collected in projects only temporarily. They are settled to one or
more receivers as part of period-end processing.

&2 Explain di3erence $etween %udgeting and Planning?
The Easy 2ost #lanning tool enables you to plan costs at (+$ level, based on 0uantitiesand characteristics. E2# can also be used for Internal 6rders 7 &ppropriation e0uests.
/ou use it to create 0uantity structures )possibly temporary* for the cost calculation,
starting from the project structure. The system valuates your entries using the prices andrates defined in the system, then distributes the costs in line with the basic dates for therespective (+$ elements.
