If you want to process estimates for a project, you must attach the project to an estimate project.

You can create estimates for individual projects and for a project hierarchy. If you create estimates for a project hierarchy, the consumption on all projects in the hierarchy is included in one estimate calculation.

• If you want to process estimates for an individual project, the project itself must be defined as the estimate project.

• If you want to process estimates for a project hierarchy, the parent project must be defined as the estimate project.

Very often the contract amount of a project is based on the parent project, so you have to select the parent project as an estimate project for all subprojects.
