# Define project setup

On the project quotation work breakdown structure, you can define the project setup:

- **For the root project line** - You can change the default project type and project group as retrieved from the **Project Control Suite parameters**.

Before you transfer the project quotation to a project, you must at least define a project contract for the root project line.
- **Optionally, for other project lines** - If specific project setup is required, you can override the project setup as inherited from the root project line.

### Steps

1. Click **Advanced project management**.
2. Click **Project quotation**.
3. In the list, find and select the desired record.
4. In the list, click the link in the selected row.
5. Click **Advanced WBS**.
6. Click **Edit**.
7. Select a project node.

Click the **Setup** tab.
8. You can change the project type.

In the **Project type** field, select an option.
9. You can change the project group.

In the **Project group** field, enter or select a value.
10. You can create a new project contract or use an existing project contract. To create a new project contract, click the plus button.

In the **Project contract ID** field, enter or select a value.
