Run the Change planning and progress information process to mass-change project progress information, including statuses, progress percentages, and confirmations. Examples of useful applications are:
Confirming a subproject, where also all underlying activities are confirmed automatically. During manual confirmation, you may overlook the occasional activity.
Confirming batches of project lines with linked order information. For example, you can configure daily checks to see whether all linked records of a project line have been confirmed as complete (or processed, in the case of periodic invoice lines). If they are, the project line can be confirmed as complete. To configure this behavior, select 'Confirm when order information is complete' and 'System date'.
Clearing the estimated start and end dates and/or adjusting the estimated start and end dates to dates in linked orders (or order lines) or underlying lines. Clearing the dates can be useful if order information is linked to a project line straight away, making the estimated data not really relevant anymore. Making estimated dates equal to order dates could be practical if the dates of linked production files are leading, but you want to have the option of replanning a project and thereby moving the linked production files.
If you choose the 'All projects' option on the processing form, you cannot specify a new status or confirm projects as complete.
