Criteria type
The Criteria type on a PPM profile determines whether the PPM profile is Contract-based or Property-based. If the criteria type is Contract-based only orders which are subject to a contract are generated. If the criteria type is Property-based, only orders which are not subject to a contract are generated.
You can select a profile criteria type in the Criteria type field.
The selected profile criteria type determines:
• if you can link contracts to the profile.
• the activity definitions that will be included in the order generation.
When orders are generated, a contract-based type will only pick up activity definitions that are related to a contract line of a contract linked to the activity definition. If no contracts are linked to the PPM Profile, then Activity Definition are picked up if it has a linked Contract line of any contract. A property-based type will only pick up activity definitions that at least have a link to the selected properties and that do not have a link to contracts through the Contract line linked to the activity definition.
