Enter Milestone Templates
Explanation
Use this activity to view, modify, or enter milestone templates. This optional procedure of creating templates can be used to
simplify the entry of milestones on a customer order line. Milestones can be used to monitor the progress of a customer order
line against key indicators or progression steps. The milestone can define the steps or procedures that need to be completed, the
progress percentage, lead time, and sequence of the milestones. This could be useful, for example to track the progress of
completing a complex and expensive sales part, which in turn could be connected to staged billing. As certain milestones are
reached, then billing for portions of the sales price could be issued.
Prerequisites
