Subprojects having Portfolio Items

[Former Member]

Can we assign Subproject (to a Project Task) that is already assigned to a Portfolio Item, which in turn is under an Initiative?

We have a scenario wherein we have Initiative (as the upper most umbrella). We have Items under the Initiative, and these items have associated projects along with. Now, to the task of the project, we plan to assign subprojects. What we have not tested (and would like to know) is the system behavior when we assign projects as subproject that already has an Item assigned to it which in turn is assigned to another (or same initiative). How does cost flow and other operations work?

Hi Deepak,

I think, the assignment as a sub-project has no affect of costing. It is more or less for the dates control between task and sub-project.

Kind regards,

Hi Deepak,

I have not tried in the system the scenario suggested by you. But as per the functionality, it should work perfectly.

An initiative can have multiple items, an iten can be assigned to project in cProjects. And a specific project can have task linked to sub-project.

Have you tried it in the system?
