You can link projects with the goal of sharing deliverable and engineering work packages from the Engineering module to the Quantity forecasting module and show Engineering Work Packages in InEight Plan. You can manage linked engineering projects in project settings ( Design > Quantity Forecasting > Linked engineering projects tab).
To share engineering work packages between different projects and Plan, you must link the projects.
By default, each project is already linked to itself, so you can always share deliverable and engineering work packages in the same project.
In the Quantity forecasting module, there are two fields that are linked and populated from the Engineering module:
Deliverable package: This field draws data from Actions > Configure work packages > Deliverable Package in the Engineering module for linked projects.
Engineering work package: This field draws data from Actions > Configure work packages > Engineering Work Package in the Engineering module for linked projects.
These fields are also available as columns in the quantity items grid.
After you associate a deliverable or engineering work package with a quantity item, you cannot delete the package or unlink the project.
In Plan's Work packaging module, you can associate EWPs from Design to Construction work packages (CWP). For more information on associating EWPs, see Engineering work package (EWP) in Plan’s Work package creation topic.
From the Linked engineering projects tab, click Link project
In the dialog box, select one or more projects, and then click Add
You will only see projects you have permission for.
To unlink a project, click the Unlink project button next to the project.
