SSA ERP LN 6.1 SP1. In SSA ERP LN 6.1 SP1, the activity relationship between activities and budget lines is maintained in MS Project only. SSA ERP LN 6.1 SP2. It is possible to maintain relationships between activities, between budget lines and between an activity and a budget line and update the activity. Infor ERP LN Workflow utilizes two workflow client applications: Infor WebTop for Infor ERP LN and Infor ERPLN Worktop. Refer to the following documentation for the installation, administration, and use of these products: Infor Webtop 8. 4 for ERP LN - Installation and Configuration Guide (U8715D US) Infor Webtop – Online Help.

In SSA ERP LN 6.1 SP2, you can maintain relationships between activities,
between budget lines and between an activity and a budget line. The
relationships can be transferred to Microsoft Project for schedule development.
This functionality enables the user to reuse the activities and their sequencing,
for new projects.
You must sequence the activities accurately to provide realistic schedules.
An activity relationship indicates that a particular activity (successor) cannot
start or end until another activity (predecessor) starts or ends. You cannot
link the same predecessor task twice to the same successor task, and you
cannot link the same predecessor task to the same successor task.
A new Activity Relationships (tppss2510m000) session has been introduced
for this purpose, in the Project Planning module.

SSA ERP LN 6.1 SP1
In SSA ERP LN 6.1 SP1, the activity relationship between activities and
budget lines is maintained in MS Project only.
SSA ERP LN 6.1 SP2
It is possible to maintain relationships between activities, between budget
lines and between an activity and a budget line and update the activity
relationships defined in SSA ERP LN 6.1 Project from Microsoft Project and

vice-versa. The status of the ownership for the project’s activity and budget
line relationships can be set to either MS Project or SSA ERP LN. The
ownership of activity relationships depends on the ownership of activity
structure/budget lines. Following scenarios are possible:
▪ Activity Structure and Budget Line owned by SSA ERPLN and
Activity Relationship owned by SSA ERPLN:The complete activity
structure and the budget lines, including the activity relationships are
maintained in SSA ERP LN and MS Project is used for resource
planning. This option is useful when the activity structure and the budget
lines including the relationships are part of the SSA ERP LN template
project. The option is used to create projects from templates.
▪ Activity Structure and Budget Line owned by SSA ERPLN and
Activity Relationship owned by MSP: The complete activity structure,
and the budget lines are maintained in SSA ERP LN and the
activity/budget lines relationship (task dependencies) is maintained in
MS Project client side to use the graphical functionality provided in MS
Project. MS Projects checks the circular relationship (circular relationship
is not checked in SSA ERP LN). While establishing the connection, the
default activity relationships, if present, in the SSA ERP LN, are
transferred as default dependencies and MS Project owns the task
dependencies. This option is useful to create template projects.
▪ Activity Structure and Budget Line owned by MSP and Activity
Relationship owned by MSP: The complete activity structure, the
budget lines and task dependencies are maintained in the MS Project
client side in order to use the planning functionality provided by MS
Project. While establishing the connection, the ownership is set to MSP
and a connection is made to an empty SSA ERP LN Project plan with
no activities. The top summary task in MS Project becomes the top
activity in SSA ERP LN and the connection node. The structure under
the top summary task in MS Project is transferred as the activity structure
in SSA ERP LN. All the budget lines are transferred to SSA ERP LN.
After the activity structure and the activity budget lines are created, the
activity/budget line relationship is created in SSA ERP LN from MS
Project.
Microsoft project 2002 allows the user to define/save multiple baselines. This
functionality is used to prevent overwriting of data in SSA ERP. The user can
select the baseline with which the planned date is to be updated in SSA ERP.

Windows XP environment.
