Create functional work packages using an FWP request

As a functional organization leader, if you determine that a WBS work package requires work from your organization, you can also request the creation of an FWP for that WBS work package. This FWP request can then be submitted to the program manager or IPT lead for approval. Once the FWP request is approved, the system creates the FWP for the WBS work package.

Create a functional work package request as follows:

Procedure

1. Open the WBS root and select the WBS work package for which the FWP request is to be created.

2. Click the Resource Package Request tab.

3. Click Package Request from the workarea toolbar of the Resource Package Requests section.

   The system displays the Resource Package Request panel.

4. Select the OBS element and requested resource package type, enter a justification, and then click Create Resource Package Request.

   The system submits the FWP request to the work package owner for approval. On approval, the FWP is created under the WBS work package.
