Create SLPPs

You can create SLPPs from the CWBS Element: Summary Planning Packages list page. Create them at the lowest level of the CWBS hierarchy. Do this so that when the time comes to do the future work and you draw down the SLPP budget into a control account's work package, the SLPP is at the same level as the control account.

   The Contract: Properties page appears.

2. Click the Contract WBS tab.
