project.

a supply option has been entered by default, as based on the part type. Make
sure that your project-specific items have different supply options.

for them. Try to enter a supply option to one of them and observe what
happens.

designed project delivery structure with connected released activities to some
items (at least the top item), and that all items are inventory parts.
