• Sub-projects (if included) are converted to activities in the project plan. The link to the sub-project is broken after conversion, but the project itself remains unconverted. For example, you might have two classic projects: Project A and Project B. The plan in Project A includes Sub-Project B, which is associated with Project B. When you convert Project A to EPP, Sub-Project B is converted into an activity. However, Project B is not converted.

• Any non-working days other than Saturday and Sunday are ignored in the converted plan and EPP plans only reflect 8 hour working days.

• Automatic execution includes both activities and task delivery. If you have automatic execution enabled for activities, tasks are automatically delivered to resources as well.

• Saved searches that include classic plan objects must be recreated.

• Existing subscriptions to plan objects remain intact. However, EPP projects do not allow you to differentiate between project managers and owners when subscribing to activities. Therefore, project managers and owners might initially receive notifications for events to which they did not subscribe.

◦ Navigate to the Projects table and select Convert to EPP from the right-click actions menu of a project.

◦ Warnings regarding possible changes to non-working days and sub-projects (described above).

◦ Project State—The project stage of operation and activity. Some capabilities and access control rules are dictated by project state. This is unaffected by the conversion.

◦ Plan State—The plan stage of operation and activity. Some capabilities and access control rules are dictated by plan state. The plan state is not affected by the conversion process. However, EPP plans use different terminology to describe plan states.

◦ Execution Control—Specifies whether the plan is executed manually or automatically. Projects with the Automatically execute activities attribute are converted to Automatically execute activities and deliver tasks.

◦ Done—The percentage of work that is complete. This value is calculated according to values entered for plan activities and is not affected by the conversion.

◦ Link Activities and Deliverables—Indicates that associated activities and deliverables have a dependency relationship.

◦ Fixed Units—Assign a fixed amount of resources in units, such as hours or days. Resource assignments do not change if you change the duration of the task or work required.

◦ Fixed Duration—Set the amount of time required to complete the task. This amount of time does not change no matter how many additional resources are assigned to the task.

◦ Fixed Work—Calculate the length of time needed to complete the task based on the capacity of available resources. For example, if you enter the duration of a fixed work task at 40 hours of work, and you assign two resources to work 20 hours each, the task is calculated to be completed in 20 hours.
