Unit 1: Introduction

Lesson: Introduction

Lesson OverviewThis lesson gives you a brief overview of the characteristics and phases typical to a

 project, and of the SAP tools that are available specially for program and project

management. It introduces networks and work breakdown structures, which are used

in SAP Project System (SAP PS) for mapping projects. Both of these structures, as

well as basic functions and processes of SAP PS, are described in this course using

two sample projects. The business examples for these two projects are introduced

in this lesson.

Lesson Objectives

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

• Explain the characteristics of projects

• Differentiate between the main tasks of SAP PS, cProjects, and SAP xApp

Resource and Portfolio Management (SAP xRPM)

• Name the two structures used in SAP PS

• Describe the project examples used in this course

Business Example

Two typical projects are used in this course to illustrate the functions of SAP PS.

“Elevator E-99##” is a typical investment project and is an example of a project that is

mapped using only a work breakdown structure. “Turbine System T-200##” is a sales project and is used to explain activities and networks. More information on these two

example projects is provided in this lesson.

Introduction

Both large-scale projects, such as constructing a factory, and smaller projects, such

as organizing a trade fair, require the numerous activities involved to be planned,

controlled and monitored precisely, systematically, and efficiently. Professional

 project management is becoming an increasingly important factor for boosting the

competitive strength of companies, and not just for those whose success is based on

 project-oriented business processes. A “project” is an undertaking that a company

carries out, characterized by the uniqueness of its general conditions and constraints.These conditions include the objectives of the project, the time frame for executing

it, as well as financial and capacity-related restrictions. Projects usually involve

cross-departmental and highly complex business processes, the results of which must

Lesson: Introduction

often yield an extremely high level of quality. Projects are often cost-intensive,

time-consuming, and of strategic importance; as a result, they can also represent

a risk for the company.

Figure 1: Project Characteristics

The term “project” is not specific to a particular industry sector and can involve

various aspects such as research and development projects, investment measures,

make-to-order production, and more extensive maintenance tasks. Projects are

normally given an appropriate structure to allow dates, resources, costs, budgets

and payments to be planned, controlled, and monitored transparently. Hierarchies

are often used for evaluating aggregated data, allocating budgets, and defining

responsibilities. Project-specific organizational forms are usually created for projects

that are integrated in an enterprise's business processes. These organizational forms

are in a position central to the user departments involved so that all the tasks that occur 

when the project is executed can be properly controlled.

SAP Project System

SAP PS is a project management tool that assists you throughout all the phases of 

your  project. Through the high level of integration between SAP PS and other SAP

functions, such as Logistics, Accounting, and Human Resources, SAP PS ensures that

Unit 1: Introduction

the necessary business processes are handled quickly and efficiently. SAP PS provides

structures that allow you to map projects flexibly and with the appropriate structures.

Using suitable tools and reports in SAP PS, you can plan and monitor dates, costs,

revenues, budgets, resources, materials, and so on, for these structures.

SAP PS is a component of both mySAP Enterprise Resource Planning (mySAP ERP)

and mySAP Product Lifecycle Management (mySAP PLM).

In addition to SAP PS, additional SAP functions for achieving efficient program

and project management at a company are provided with Collaboration Projects

(cProjects) and SAP xApp Resource and Portfolio Management (SAP xRPM).

cProjectscan be used independently of SAP PS, but also in combination with SAP PS,

for efficient project management. cProjects is a web-based, flexible, and easy-to-learn

 project management tool tailored to suit the requirements of development, consulting,

and IT projects. In addition to the functions offered by cProjects for structuring,

 planning, and implementing projects, different integration scenarios such asCollaboration Folders (cFolders) or SAP systems can also be used.

SAP xRPMis used for the strategic management of entire project portfolios. To this

end, data from different project management tools, for example Microsoft Project

(Client and Server), cProjects, or SAP PS can be consolidated with controlling data

from mySAP ERP Financials and monitored uniformly with special dashboards and

SAP Business Information Warehouse analysis functions in an Enterprise Portal. The

merging of data from different project management tools in SAP xRPM facilitates

uniform, system-wide resource planning of all projects.

Lesson: Introduction

Figure 2: Program Management and Project Management

The two structures provided by SAP PS for mapping projects are work breakdown

structures and networks. You use a work breakdown structure to organize a project in

the form of a hierarchy, and so map the structure of the project. Networks, on the other 

hand, are used to represent the individual project activities together with their temporal

and logical relationships, in other words, the flow of the project. You can map a

 project using just one work breakdown structure or one network. However, you can

also illustrate a project using a work breakdown structure and one or more networks in

order to use the characteristics of both structures together. Work breakdown structures

consist of work breakdown structure elements (WBS elements) that are arranged at

various levels to produce a hierarchical model of the project activities to be carried

out. Each individual WBS element can act as a controlling object in which you can

 plan and monitor costs, revenues, payments, budgets, and dates. A network represents

the flow of a project. The individual tasks in the project are mapped as activities in a

network. The temporal and logical dependencies between the various activities can

 be represented as links, also known as relationships. Activities form the operative

 basis for planning and controlling dates, costs, and resources (personnel, machinery,materials). When activities are assigned to WBS elements, the dates and costs defined

in the individual activities are totaled up (aggregated) at the WBS level, and can

 be evaluated. Activity funds already assigned are checked against the budgets of 

the WBS elements.

Unit 1: Introduction

Figure 3:   Structures

Two example projects explain how you can use the two structures, work breakdown

structure and network, when you are managing projects with SAP PS. The various

functions they support are also described.

Business Examples

The project with the ID E-99## (## stands for the number of the group a course

 partici pant belongs to) is an example of an investment or cost project that can be

mapped with just a work breakdown structure, that is, without networks or activities.

You use the work breakdown structure in this business example to plan and monitor 

the project for constructing an elevator in your company. Cost-related aspects are

 particularly important while the project is being executed.

Lesson: Introduction

Figure 4: Investment Project E-99##

The following steps are carried out in this course for project E-99##:

1. Create a suitable work breakdown structure using the Project Builder 

2. Plan basic dates manually for WBS elements using the project planning board

3. Plan costs manually for the WBS elements using Easy Cost Planning

4. Budget WBS elements

5. Enter actual dates during the project execution phase

6. Assign various documents for WBS elements using Execution Services for 

updating commitment costs and actual costs

7. Calculate overhead costs and carry out settlement to assets under construction

in Asset Accounting using the Schedule Manager 

Project Builder, project planning board, Easy Cost Planning, Execution Services, and

Schedule Manager are tools in the SAP system that are used here to perform the

various steps. In addition to these tools, this course introduces you to a range of 

reports and information systems that you can use to evaluate the project data during

the various project phases.

Project T-200## is used in this course as an example of a sales project that is mapped

in the SAP system with a work breakdown structure and a network. The starting

 point for creating and executing the project in this business example is a customer 

inquiry and, later on, a sales order for constructing a turbine system. In addition toControlling-related aspects for developing and constructing the turbine system, it is

also important to consider a number of logistical requirements (on-time material

 procur ement, availability of capacity). The network acts as a quantity structure for 

 planning dates, costs, resources, and material requirements automatically.

Lesson: Introduction

The following steps are carried out in this course for project T-200##:

1. Create a customer inquiry in Sales and Distribution

2. Create a project (work breakdown structure and network) using standard

structures

3. Plan dates using scheduling

4. Plan resources

• Plan capacity requirements

• Distribute work among the workforce

• Plan the external procurement of services

5. Plan materials by transferring bills of material

6. Plan costs using network costing

7. Create sales pricing data

• Create a quotation based on a project cost plan

• Plan revenues for the project

8. Create a sales order with a billing plan in Sales and Distribution

9. Enter confirmations (in particular, using the cross-application time sheet: CATS)

10. Purchase materials and services

11. Document var iances using claims

12. Post revenues using milestone billing

13. Calculate overhead costs, carry out a results analysis and settle the resultsanalysis values to the profitability segment

In this business example too, you will use suitable reports to track planned and actual

data (dates, resources, costs, revenues, and payments) that is written to the network 

activities. By assigning the activities to WBS elements, you can aggregate activity

data at work  breakdown structure level and evaluate it.

In simplified terms, a project can generally be divided into the following phases:

Unit 1: Introduction

Figure 6: Phases in a Project

A high degree of precision is required when planning and coordinating large and

complex projects. When planning the flow of a project, you will schedule deadlines

and dates, make resources available, and assign funds. SAP PS gives you the support

you need throughout all phases of the project.

Lesson: Introduction

Exercise 1: Preparations (to be carried outby instructor)

Exercise Objectives

After completing this exercise, you will be able to:

• Make the system settings required for the course (instructor only)

Business Example

Original IDES data is used for structuring, planning and executing the example

 projects. You also need to implement a number of additional individual settings in the

SAP system.

Task 1: Preparations (to be carried out by instructor)

Check the parameters in the user master data and the settings in the SAP system that

are required for performing the demonstrations and exercises.

1. Check the user master records for the course participants. They should contain

suitable parameters and fixed values.

2. In Customizing for Project System, set the Adjust Basic Dates indicator in the

130000000001 IDES Scheduling Forward  profile for WBS scheduling.

3. PS Cash Management must be activated in company code 1000 to ensure that the

 payment data is updated. Check this setting in Customizing for Project System.

4. To carry out period-end closing using the Schedule Manager, you have to

maintain a prefix number for the SAP system (transaction OOW4).

Check workflow Customizing using transaction SWU3, and if necessary perform

automatic workflow Customizing.

In the TVARV  table, you have to enter suitable values for parameters PS_PERIOD

and PS_YEAR (transaction SM31). Make the appropriate settings in the system.

Unit 1: Introduction

Task 2: Language Settings (to be carried out byinstructor; only for courses not held in German)

German is set as the original language for master data in the IDES systems. For 

courses held in other languages, the master data short texts need to be switched

to those languages.

Hint:  The example shows the texts being converted to English (EN). No

changes need to be made for courses held in German.

1. Set the short texts for standard networks and standard projects to EN using

transaction YILA. Use text pools  ZT-TRAIN-PS-01,  ZT-TRAIN-PS-02

and  ZT-TRAINING-PS-03.

2. Set the language for vendor  1000 to the required language (in our example,

English). Use transaction XK02 to change the vendor data.

3. Set the language for customer  1600 to the required language (in our example,

English). Use transaction XD02 to change the customer data.
