Tasks

Project is divided into Tasks. In ERPNext, you can also create a Task independently.

Task

A Task can have one of the following statuses - Open, Working, Pending Review, Closed, or Cancelled.

Task - Status
  • By default each new Task created has the status set to 'Open'.

  • If a Time Log is made against a task, its status will be set to 'Working'.

Dependent Task

You can specify a list of dependent tasks under the 'Depends On' section.

Depends On
  • You cannot close the parent task until all dependent tasks are closed.

  • If the dependent tasks are delayed and overlap with the expected Start Date of the Parent task, the system will reschedule the parent task.
