In the description of the process template and the explanation of the process units you can use variables. The variables are replaced with the current valid values when the process is generated. You can use the following variables:
•:pjt_code: project code.
•:kbg_code: cost category code.
•:ctt_volgnummer: contract code.
•:hgr_code: repeat generator code.
•:ctg_omschrijving: description of the contract process generator.
•:ctg_toelichting: explanation of the contract process generator.
•:base_datetime: the content of the field 'Next Generation Based on'. If this field has no value then the Start date will be used.
•:base_date: the previous variable without the time.
•:base_next_datetime: a period after the :base_datetime.
•:base_next_date: the previous variable without the time.
•:base_next_next_datetime: two periods after the :base_datetime.
•:base_next_next_date: the previous variable without the time.
•:base_prev_datetime: a period earlier than :base_datetime.
•:base_prev_date: the previous variable without the time.
•:base_prev_prev_datetime: two periods earlier than :base_datetime.
•:base_prev_prev_date: the previous variable without the time.
