We are an Apps 8 user and already use the Project Management module, including the WBS element.  However, at this time we do not utilise the CBS element and I have struggled to work out how to utilise this alongside the WBS to any real advantage.  Are there any good papers/user guides/experiences out there that might assist?  The on-line Help files aren’t helping much.

Thanks!

Hi Caroline - Apologies for our delay here. I’m attaching a document that should be helpful. Additionally,  @KennyIngram said he’d be happy to discuss or demo the solution for you!

Hi Kristen, 

Many thanks for your response and the attached document.  I can see it relates to a newer version of IFS but having read it, I think it is still relevant to our version.  I am currently speaking with colleagues to see if the offer from Kenny regarding a demo would be useful, so will touch base with him if everyone agrees. 

Many thanks,

Caroline
