# Project features

Project features are user-definable fields for a project. Per company, 20 features can be defined in the Project Control Suite Setup by selecting them from the ProjectFeatures list. The setup also determines the sequence in which the ProjectFeatures are used.

Per project, select the value of a feature from a predefined list or enter free text. Set ProjectFeatures from the ProjectHeader, the ProjectBudget line, and the ProjectPlanning line. The ProjectFeature values are stored as a ProjectFeature Set ID and copied along in the various transactions.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> - The ProjectInformation fact box shows the number of features and the number for which a value is selected, for example, 2/5 means that two of five features are specified.
> - The ProjectFeatures from the ProjectItem Planning line are also available from the purchase order line: Project Planning Line in the purchase order line menu.
