Budget can be distributed to individual parts of a project within a work breakdown structure. This is
not possible with internal orders.
A WBS element can be assigned several activities (even different networks, if required); however, an
activity can only be assigned to a maximum of one WBS element. Once you have assigned activities
to WBS elements, you can exchange data between the work breakdown structure and the activities.
Activities can inherit data from the WBS elements or summarize or aggregate activities (dates,
budget etc.) to WBS.
Planning Functions
Functions for planning the logistical and relevant accounting aspects of the project. For many projects,
in particular, cost or investment projects, budgeting takes place in the approval phase of projects.
