You are not understanding the diagram. You can see the WORK EFFORT
subtypes connected to WORK EFFORT TYPE. That is how the subtypes are
implemented - not as separate entities (or tables) but as a field in
WORK EFFORT (WORK EFFORT TYPE ID).

@Jacopo - I understand that no work effort entities have been moved out of
the release, my point was it seemed to me that originally in Ofbiz's
particular implementation/interpretation of the universal model, they may
have been moved out.
@Adrian - in Len Silverstone's model, within the supra-entity for managing
the work effort (track requirements to perform work, commitments to do work,
and the actual work that is being performed), there are sub entities for
"program", "project", "phase", "task", and "activity". i.e. The work effort
may be subtyped according to its level of detail. c.f. diag.6.3a in his
book.
I do not see these entities in the entity definitions for work effort
module.
However, there are entities describing project, phase and task in the
project management module. Also entities for tracking efficiency of efforts
e.g. actual hours, actual rated hours etc. included in Silverstone's
conception of work effort.
To make the Work Effort Costing entities in the work effort module handle
certain job costing or project costing financial reporting requirements, it
seems to me that the project manager module is needed for break down of work
effort into the kind of detail required by particular sectors, and indeed
the tracking of efficiency of efforts etc.
Or there may be entities within Ofbiz's work effort costing section that may
be tweaked or adapted to handle such requirements that I do not adequately
understand yet - which I acknowledge as a relative newcomer.
