NOTE:

In the organisational settings of the project administration you can activate additional fields or define them yourself:

Define your own organisation-specific fields under Custom fields for project master data. Be sure to specify these fields with the classification type (not as multiple classification) and as mandatory fields so that they can be used in Controlling.
