|
|
Understanding Oracle Primavera P6 Organizational Breakdown Structure - OBS
Oracle Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Structure (EPS) is a hierarchical structure for grouping, sorting and filtering your projects under logical headings such as location and client.
The Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS) is intended to represent your organization and your projects may also be grouped, sorted and filtered using the OBS.
The aim of the OBS is to provide users access to project data at different levels, such as Read Only, Edit, Create or Delete, and is effectively the gateway between users and their access to projects.
P6 uses both terms OBS Name and Responsible Manager interchangeably and they are the same.
This article explains in detail how the P6 OBS function operates and the new P6 Version 22 User Preference, Assistance, Responsible Manager option.
