| 1. Different between validation & substitution
Substitution enables to automatically change master data fields of Project Definitions, WBS elements, Network Headers and Activities. For example, you can automatically set the cost center 9999 for those WBS Elements into which responsible persons with number 0 to 20 have been entered. Validation enables you carry out self-defined checks for
master data fields of the same elements. But the result of validations
consists of informational messages, warnings or error messages. For example,
you can validate that projects with a specific project profile always begin
with the same key.

you can set the system to send you a message when 95% of the budget has
been spent, and stop al PR´s when you have reached 100% or 110% of
the budget. Path is Project System >>> Costs >>> Budget >>> Maintain Budget
Profile >>> Define Tolerance Limits
7. What setting does NTW scheduling contains? Where are these settings done (menu path)?
