Deliverables and Task

I was trying to address the following:

We have a task that actually produces the deliverable. Then we have a
client activity/task where that same deliverable is the input. Can it be a
soft-predecessor in the same project?

No, but you can set a dependency on the task that produces it, not the
deliverable.

Hi Gary,

What do you mean "soft" dependency? How are you physically establishing a
soft dependency?

ST::

When you link to a deliverable, it doesn't automatically push the successor
date the way a task-to-task link does. Thus the terms hard versus soft.
