- Process: Create Benefit Plan (uses sub-object as primary input, native BP is output)
- Process: Update sql - Cost Benefit Plans (one-time script to update Projects)
- Ensure on the Benefit Details List view the Planned and Realized Amounts are displayed
- Modifying the Create Benefit Plan Process in support of a BP naming convention consistent with local PMO Practices
- Modifying the Create Benefit Plan Process to link the BP to the Cost Plan of Record
- Creating a Portlet that pulls together rows of data from the sub-object across multiple projects in a summarized view as well as a detailed view
