Setting up multiple BOPs for the same project will reduce the number of Project-Task combinations and result in less Project-Task maintenance. Tasks are used to help organize the system actions that can reference a specific Project. Multiple Tasks can be specified for a Project using the Task Popup on the Project Maintenance Screen (CMN004). The following system actions can be specified using the Task Popup: Budget Execution (Apportionments, Allotments), Purchase Orders, Accounts Payable (Invoices), Purchase Requisitions (not used by NIST), Accounts Receivable (Customer Billing), General Journals, and Labor Transactions.
