Business Object

Description

Calendar

Calendars define the available work hours in each calendar day, and include global, resource, and project types.

Resource

Resources include labor, nonlabor, and materials that are used for activities across all projects.

ResourceRate

Resource rates specify multiple resource prices and maximum units per time values that vary over time.

Role

Roles are project personnel job titles or skills, such as mechanical engineer, inspector, or carpenter. They represent a type of resource with a certain level of proficiency rather than a specific individual.

RoleRate

Role rates enable you to select a predefined price per unit for cost calculating when assigning the role to an activity.

ExpenseCategory

Expense categories are used to categorize project expenses. They are used for standardizing expenses and for rolling up expenses across projects.

Project

A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. Projects usually contain a work breakdown structure (WBS) and activities.

WBS

The project work breakdown structure (WBS) is a hierarchical arrangement of the products and services produced during and by a project. Each element of a WBS may contain more-detailed WBS elements, activities, or both. WBS are hierarchical objects.

WBSCategory

WBS categories group WBS elements based on a shared attribute. They are defined globally.

Activity

An activity is a unit of work performed during the course of a project.

ActivityExpense

Activity expenses are non-resource costs associated with a project and assigned to a project's activities. They are typically one-time expenditures for non-reusable items.

ResourceAssignment

Resource assignments track the work of resources or roles that are performing various activities.

ProjectResource

Primavera's resource planning feature allows you to do high-level project planning for future project or project that does not require resource assignments at the activity level.

Relationship

A relationship defines how an activity relates to the start or finish of another activity or assignment. These relationships, which form the logic of the project network, are used together with activity durations to determine schedule dates.

WBSResourceSpread

Spread data per WBS per Resource

WBSExpenseSpread

Expense spread data per WBS per ExpenseCategory.

WBSSpread

Summarized spread data per WBS.

CostAccount

Cost accounts contain the organization's cost account IDs. Available across all projects, they support tracking of costs and earned value based on the organization's cost account IDs. Cost accounts are hierarchical objects.

FinancialPeriod

Financial periods are used to provide accurate display and reporting of actual units and costs. Financial periods may not overlap each other and do not have to be contiguous.

Location

The location is used to store address information including latitude and longitude. Locations can be assigned to resources, projects and/or activities.

Currency

Currencies are the monetary units used to store costs for all projects in the database. Monetary units are stored in the database with a base currency but can be viewed in other currencies using the exchange for each currency.

BaselineTypeFields

 

UDFType

User-defined fields (UDFs) enable users to add custom fields and values to the project database.

ProjectCodeType

Project code types provide a way of classifying project codes. Project codes are user-defined codes to classify and categorize projects across the enterprise.

ProjectCode

Project codes are user-defined codes to classify and categorize projects across the enterprise.

EPS

Enterprise Project Structure.

NotebookTopic

Notebook topics are used to categorize notes on EPS, project, WBS,and activity objects.

CBS

CBS business object.

CBSDurationSummary

CBSDurationSummary business object.

Risk

The risk object represents a probabilistic event or condition which if it occurs has an impact on the project.

CBSResourceSpread

Summarized spread data per CBS per resource assignment

CBSExpenseSpread

Summarized spread data per CBS per expense category

ActivityRisk

The activity risk object stores the relationship between a single Activity and a single Risk.

RiskResponsePlan

The risk response plan object communicates how the project team plans to address the identified risk.

RiskResponseAction

The risk response action object contains the detailed steps that need to occur to complete the risk response plan. Multiple actions can be associated with one response plan and each action can be linked to an activity in the project.

RiskResponseActionImpact

The risk response action impact object is a post-risk response action qualitative value that is assigned to a risk for each of the risk thresholds.

RiskImpact

The risk impact object stores the pre-response qualitative value assigned to a risk for each of the risk thresholds.

RiskMatrix

The risk matrix object contains the name and description of each probability and impact diagram (PID). The Risk Matrix is then used to qualitatively assess each risk and assign a score.

RiskMatrixScore

The risk matrix score object stores the score values from the probability and impact diagram (PID) of the risk score matrix.

RiskThreshold

The risk threshold object contains the name, description, and type of each risk threshold. Risk thresholds provide a mechanism for setting up the criteria that is used to assess the risk.

RiskThresholdLevel

The risk threshold level object stores the level information (e.g. Low, Medium, High) for each risk threshold.

RiskMatrixThreshold

The risk matrix threshold object creates a relationship between a RiskThreshold object and a RiskMatrix object. This allows a single RiskThreshold object to be associated with multiple RiskMatrix objects.
