WBS Level For each element of the plan's WBS, the report lists the corresponding WBS levels (Project, Phase, or Task). The number of plan project levels enabled in your WBS depends upon which modules are activated. For example:
  • If both the Resource Planning module and the Accounting module are activated, you can only plan projects 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 displays only those levels down to the project's lowest level. For example, if you choose to see 17 levels but the project only has 5, the report lists all the levels up to level 5 only for the project, not through level 17.
