How to Draw Down SLPP Budget into Work Packages

You can draw a budget down from your SLPP into a control account work package. Draw the budget for the future work but before you start the work.

Drawing down the budget is not an automated process. You require to draw manually a portion of it, or the entire amount of the SLPP 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 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.
