About this task

Create demand tasks to plan work for demands rather than for a target work entity such as a project, change, defect, or enhancement. Resources assigned to a demand task can submit time spent on the task using a time card. For more information, see Demand tasks.

To create, edit, or delete demand tasks, you can also use the Add demand tasks Playbook activity. For more information, see Use Playbook in Next Experience for Demand Management.

Note:

If you're creating a demand task with the PPM Standard Multicurrency (com.snc.ppm_multicurrency) plugin activated and Demand Currency view enabled, additional fields are available. For more information about the fields that are available only in the Demand Currency view, see Multicurrency in Next Experience for Demand Management reference.
