WO/CCBREQ# WO-RFS-1-4470788821
Description
For the purposes of project reporting, owner entities of project structures must be identifiable. To this end, the project attribute "Applicant ID" was created as a supporting dimension. When used in combination with Business Area, Applicant ID can identify under which entity the project is operated. The Applicant ID is also linked to the Thematic Assignment fields, which are important reporting dimensions for the project dashboard.

As users have not maintained the Applicant ID consistently, the field has been changed to a required entry for Project Definition and WBS elements.

Please note that in some cases, such as OCHA, Peacekeeping Missions and Special Political Missions, the Applicant ID functions as a grouping attribute, as these entities are represented across multiple Business Areas.
