WBS Levels For each element of the plan's WBS, the report lists the corresponding WBS levels (Project, Phase, or Task). The number of plan project and opportunity levels enabled in your WBS depends upon which modules are activated. For example:
  • If both Resource Planning module and the Accounting module are activated, you can only plan projects and opportunities at the levels enabled in your WBS, up to a maximum of three levels.
  • If the Resource Planning module is activated but the Accounting module is not, you can plan the 3 WBS levels (project, phase, and task) followed by columns for Plan Level 4, Plan Level 5, and so on up through Plan Level 17. If the maximum plan level selected is greater than the levels a project has, this report will display only those levels down to the project's lowest level. For example, of you choose to see 17 levels but the project only has 5, the report will list all the levels up to level 5 only for the project, not through level 17.
