How to Draw Down SLPP Budget into Work Packages

You can draw down the budget from your SLPP into a control account's work package. Do this once the time comes to do the future work but prior to starting the work.

Drawing down the budget is not an automated process. You must manually draw a portion of it or the entire amount of the SLPP's budget down to the work package. Use the following process to draw down your SLPPs and transfer the budget into a planning work package:

1. Open and edit the CWBS element that owns the SLPP.
2. Open and edit the control account for the CWBS element.
3. Create a new work package for the control account.
4. Do one of the following:
   • For planning work packages, manually enter the budget amount that you are drawing down from the SLPP.
   • For any other work package type, link the work package to the appropriate project or task.
5. Manually reduce the SLLP budget by the amount you are drawing down into the work package.
