The Main WBS is simply a grouping of activities. The Main WBS will not be viewable by employees during time and expense entry, but it can be a field in reports. An example of a Main WBS could be a contract number. A company could also use Main WBS with many clients and projects to group them in sets. There may be any number of Main WBSs. At least one main WBS is required.
