The SDEF format is as follows:

Field Activity Code Length Description

1 WRKP 3 Workers per day

2 AREA 4 Area of work

3 MODF 6 Modification Number

4 BIDI 6 Bid Item (CLIN)

5 FOW 20

*Some systems require that FEATURE OF WORK values be placed in several activity code fields. The notation shown is for Primavera P6. Refer to the specific software guidelines with respect to the FEATURE OF WORK field requirements.

3.2.6.1 Workers Per Day (WRKP)
