Which plugin is required to synchronize planned and actual dates between a Project Portfolio Management project and an FSM work order?

• A. Field service with project management plugin (com.snc.wm_ppm)
• B. Service Dispatch with PPM
• C. Project Management Plugin only
• D. Field Service Plugin (com.snc.fsm_ppm)

Answer: (A)

Synchronizing dates between a Project Portfolio Management project and an FSM work order requires the integration that links Project Management with Field Service. The Field Service with Project Management plugin provides the data mapping and workflow hooks needed to align both systems, so planned dates defined in the PPM project flow into the corresponding FSM work order and updates from the work order (actual dates) can be reflected back to the PPM project. Without this combined plugin, PPM and FSM operate in isolation and you’d have to manage date alignment manually. The specific plugin that enables this synchronization is the Field Service with Project Management plugin (com.snc.wm_ppm). Other options either lack the necessary integration or refer to different, non-suitably configured plugins, so they won’t automatically synchronize dates between the two domains.
