I am trying to create a hierarchical view of projects and sub projects, but i cannot for the life of me find where Parent code comes from for either Projects or Project Groups - and it says each one is wrong.

I tried creating a new project to be the parent of another like department nesting but that did not work, any ideas?

And I cannot find out what Product Group is looking for for parent code but its required and its not department code i tried that

Robert is correct - the Parent Code for a Project Group would be a Project Group itself, but without a parent.

I've included a screenshot below.

Hi Travis - The Parent Code for a Project is maintained by the list of Codes in Project Group reference data.

I'm wondering if the problem is the nesting of projects. We have Projects and the Parent Code can be found in the Project Group data. We have Parent Codes for some of those project groups, which are also project groups. i don't think you can have a Parent Code that refers to  another item in the Project data.

(We are still using PFP, so it's possible IIP is different)
