Deliverable |
Deliverable Activity |
---|---|
You can only link a deliverable to one subject object.
|
You can link a deliverable activity to multiple subject objects.
|
The subject object can be located in any context to which you have access.
|
Subject objects are restricted based on the current context:
• Project activities—The subject object must be located within the same project context. This can include objects that are shared to the project from a PDM context.
• Program activities—The subject object must be located within the same program context.
• Product activities—The subject object can be located in any PLM context (for example, a product, library, or quality context). You cannot include objects located in projects or programs.
|
Create using the New Deliverable action.
|
Create by selecting the Mark activity as deliverable option in the New Activity and Edit Activity windows.
|
Scheduling is limited to the following:
• Start date
• Finish date
|
Use the same scheduling options available for activities, including:
• Resources
• Scheduling constraints and predecessor relationships
• Duration and work
• Task types
|
Deliverable work is tracked separately from the activity work by editing the deliverable.
|
You can track deliverable work as activity work.
|
The deliverable is always linked to the latest version of the subject object.
|
You can set a tracking policy:
• Fixed Revision—Links to the latest iteration of the current revision. Use this policy if you are including objects created in a project or program context.
• Latest Revision—Links to the latest version of the object.
• Fixed Subject—Links to a specific revision and iteration of a version-controlled objects. This policy also links to non-revision objects, with the exception of change objects. Use this policy if you are including a managed baseline or lot baseline.
|
There is no restriction on subject object types.
|
Subject objects must be one of the following types:
• Change objects
• Parts
• Documents
• EPM Documents
• Variant Specifications
• Packages
• Baselines (managed and lot)
• Windchill QMS objects
• Windchill MPMLink objects
• Enterprise data
|
Deliverable behavior changes when the Link deliverables with project activities option is selected.
|
The Link deliverables with project activities option does not affect the functionality of deliverable activities.
|
When a deliverable is linked to a subject object, the deliverable appears in the Deliverables table on the subject object information page.
|
When a deliverable is linked to a subject object, the deliverable appears in the Plan Activities table on the subject object information page.
|
Activity
|
• A single deliverable can be associated with an activity.
• Updating the % Work Complete for either the deliverable or the activity updates the data for both.
• The start and finish dates of the activity override the Start and Finish dates set for the deliverable.
|
Milestone
|
• A single deliverable can be associated with multiple milestones, and multiple deliverables can be associated with the same milestone.
• A deliverable associated to an activity can simultaneously be associated with a milestone (or multiple milestones).
• The % Work Complete calculation for a milestone is derived from the data entered for associated deliverables. Consequently, you cannot directly update the % Work Complete for a milestone.
For example, if Milestone A is associated with Deliverable 1 (50% complete), Deliverable 2 (30% complete), and Deliverable 3 (40% complete), the % Work Complete for Milestone A is 40%. Updating the % Work Complete for any of the associated deliverables changes the calculated value for Milestone A.
• Resource assignments are not allowed for milestones.
• In auto-execution mode, if a milestone is linked to a deliverable with associated activities, the milestone state is automatically updated as the activity states change. At this time, a notification is sent to the milestone owner.

|
With the Link deliverables with project activities checkbox selected, you cannot import a project from Microsoft Project if the project has milestones with resource assignments.
