What is the purpose of the activity number?

Posted on by 10

Hello Team?

I've noticed that there is a particular column/field that shows up in different modules. I'm mostly concerned about the Project Management and Accounting Module and i'm referring to the "Activity Number" column when we try to perform forecasting.

What is the purpose of the "Activity Number" column???

I tried searching Microsoft docs, but I couldn't find anything.

If someone could point me to a URL or something that provides what the activity number is used for or how it may be configured or used (if that's possible) that would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Cisar V.

    Hi Cisar,

    For activity tracking, you can create a work breakdown structure (WBS). Each activity in this WBS will get a unique activity number from a number sequence to be able to set budgets and post actuals. You can find some documentation here: Set up the downloadable VHD for first use - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Docs
