How to divide a task in several parts?

Horlen,
In a nutshell, what you can do is create ’Steps’ within the activity in question giving weights to each step proportionate to the effort required of the total budget.

Or if you need to divide the activity into discrete parts so that you can either add logic or divide the costs up, you will need to create ’New’ seperate tasks and budget them accordingly, (rebasline those activities if your baseline is at that level too)

Horlen,

Not sure about P5 as I can not rememeber but in P6 in the activity form you can use suspend option to break an activity but only for once. It might be the same in P5.

For more breaks, I’m afraid you will need to add multiple activities.
