True or False: The dot must be included when entering a WBS element into ECMS.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Sometimes
• D. Depends on element

Answer: (A)

In ECMS, the identifier for a WBS element is treated as a hierarchical code, and punctuation like a dot is not required for entry. The dot is typically just a visual separator used in some SAP views or reports, but ECMS data entry accepts the WBS code without that punctuation and still correctly identifies the element. So the statement that a dot must be included is not true. If the WBS code is entered without the dot, ECMS will recognize the element just fine.
