Project Functionality of - SAP-PS (Project System)The Project System module of SAP (PS) is specifically designed to provide comprehensive and fullyintegrated project management functionality for SAP customers. When it was originally designed anddeveloped its core functionality was borrowed from and shared with the PP and ! modules.

So most of the PS objects (W"S elements# networ$s# activities# activity elements) are cost objectssimilar to cost centers in CO # while networ$s have scheduling and resource management capabilitiesthat are very similar to PP . Whenever you need fle%ibility and fre&uent user interaction for resourceloaded scheduling activities# you still feel the remnants of an architecture and user interface that wasoriginally designed for the more static conte%t of PP.

Shortcomings include user'friendliness since SAP did not manage to satisfactorily put the end user incontrol to easily manipulate the data. n that respect# SAP s unsurpassed enterprise functionality oftenis perceived as an issue by end'users. Also# and somewhat ironically# PS and PP are not seamlesslyintegrated. This means that costs or dates do not roll up or cannot be pushed down between PS *PP.

What is SAP PS?

Projects are generally part of the internal processes of a company. To be able to control all tasksin project execution, you need an organizational form that is specific to the project and which isshared by all departments involved. Before you can carry out a project in its entirety, the projectgoals must be precisely described and the project activities to be carried out must be structured.

clear, unambiguous project structure is the basis for successful project planning, monitoring,and control.

The high degree of integration between the Project !ystem "P!# and other $%& applicationcomponents means that you can plan, execute, and account for projects as part of your normalcommercial procedures. This means the Project !ystem has constant access to data in all thedepartments involved in the project.

The $%& P! guarantees close and constant monitoring of all aspects of your project including both technical and commercial aspects of the project.

Versions in Project Systems

Explain the type of version in SAP Project Systems. Basically, there are different kinds ofversions in PS. They are'

. Project versions ( these are basically snapshots of a project at different stages of a project.Based on how the system is set up, a version could be created everytime the system status of a

project object is changed, for example. )r, you could manually create a project version intransaction *+! - or the like. ou could create a version with a key and then you couldcompare the different snapshots of a project against each other or against version / "operative

project#.

!. Sim"lation versions ( these are essentially 0play around with0 versions. 1eaning that youcould use them to try 0what if0 kind of scenario by changing dates, structure, milestones, etc...and compare results with the operative version. 2or example, you may want to determine what

• $un Project $eports

This ! P P! training uses 4** @./ "newest ! P release# and includes 5/A training slides,study guide for each lesson, @/A pages of additional ! P documentation and email support.

The training is very clear and easy to understand. The fact that it can be done anytime is agreatC feature as 3 could do it at home with no interruptions. lso having the capability to back

up and repeat a process is extremely helpful. 9ith no set time limits, when 3 was ready to bookan asset, 3 could review just that section and get pointers right on the spot.CPat D., 9hirlpool *orporation

o+ to delete PS master data and transaction data?

This is a complex one. ! P usually does not allow you to delete anything. ou will have toarchive and then delete the objects. 3f there are 0bad0 projects without any transactional activity,you can mark the projects with status ;K2K. To archive, use transaction code ! $ .

ou will have to get your entire functional team ( 11, !;, 23, *), P! ( and decide on amodule(by(module and transaction(by(transaction basis on the best approach to purge this data.

ou will also have to think about auditing and retrieval if this is production data.

!olution is rchiving. 3t7s a seperate process better consult you basis consultants for this.

9hy is my planned cost differing 9hat is the cause of the S/.H& instead of S-. 9here can icheck and change this.

Ans+er * 3 guess that you use different costing "and valuation# variants. so the system mightvaluate plan and actuals differently.

"estion * 9here and how do i control it

Ans+er * Please see if you have checked the check box for utomatic validation in the relevant project profile.

"estion * 3 want to validate the customer number in one of the user fields in 9B!. Theformula builder in the validation screen, it seems, does not support table fields other than fieldsfrom P$P!. *an this be done thru some user exits 3f yes how *an u guide me in this

"estion * 9e are in @*. !tarting a project, we establish an )rder cost plan. 9e plan theamount of work "in hours# and specify the work center for each of the activities. 2or materialcomponents, we enter the forecast material costs in the field 01aterial planning0. 9e see the

total and detailed by activity cost plan in *+! - "!tructure overview# in the column 0)rder cost plan ///0. t some point in time, the project advancement shows that we have to reconsider theoriginal cost plan, for instance because the actual costs collected so far are much higher thanforeseen at start(up. 1anagement decides to change the cost plan /// to reflect the newforecasted budget. 1anagement already told that they would like to be able to specify a newtotal value for the )rder cost plan /// of the activity rather then to play with the amount of work"hours# in the activity.

Ans+er * There is a functionality called cost forecast "transaction *EJK%*EJ1#. 3 think this isexactly what you re=uire. The forecasted costs are saved in a separate *) version. ou could tryto display this version in *+! -.

&reate net+ork from Sales ;rder

"estion *

9e are currently running .@* and have implemented !; and P!. The situation is we want to beable to create a network automatically from the sales order during creation.

37ve assigned the strategy group HI to the material master and 37ve defined the network parameters from sales order "via transaction *+/H#.

The result...

;uring creation of the sales order "transaction 8 /-#, the network is created successfully but thecomponents are not transferred to the network. 3s it supposed to or not 3f so, what additionalconfiguration should 3 look at

37m not very familiar with the standard functionality so 37m hoping someone out there hasexperience with this topic.

Ans+er * The components in assembly processing remain on the sales order only.

3n case you are working with reasonably complex scenario on B)1 and procurement, wherematerial items have their own dependencies schedulewise e.g to design, you should put thematerials on the network. The best way to accomplish this is to do the B)1 allocation "transfer#to activities and have only the invoicing item at sales order.

Project Functionality of SAP-PM (Plant Maintenance)The SAP Plant +aintenance module (P+) is designed to handle the management and e%ecution ofintegrated maintenance processes. Such processes include preventative# routine and turnaroundmaintenance# all fully integrated with purchasing# +,P# controlling and financial accounting performedin SAP. The main objects used in P+ are wor$ orders# a series of which (often grouped by revisions)



are what typically is thought of as a -project-. Such maintenance projects are planned by describingthe estimated wor$ effort per -operation- (activity) and wor$ center performing that wor$ effort. "ylin$ing operations inside wor$ orders or across them a generic project schedule is created.

nfortunately SAP'P+ has only limited scheduling capabilities. Therefore effective enterprise projectscheduling for maintenance purposes re&uires either the use of the SAP PS module# the integrationwith e%ternal scheduling tools li$e Primavera or +S Project# or for less comple% projects the use ofe%ternal tools li$e /W!S (for more information about these tools please search this web site).

Project Functionality of SAP-CO (Controlling)

There are several important touchpoints between SAP projects and the SAP ontrolling module ( !).All SAP cost planning and budgeting (in SAP terminology0 budget 6 approved cost plan) functions are

handled using standard ! functionality. !bjects relevant to project management in SAP are costobjects. This means that planned# committed and actual costs can be charged to them li$e to a costcenter or an internal order in !. Among these cost objects are W"S elements# networ$s# activities#activity elements# maintenance orders# operations and suboperations.

osts may be planned on many levels and in many ways# starting as investment management ( +)level or W"S structure level cost planning# through primary cost element planning# and going on topurchase re&uisitions# planned allocations# planned hourly use of resources with associated standardcost rates# and many more.

Actual costs may be charged to SAP project objects in many ways# typically through goods or servicereceipts# accounts payable invoices# general ledger (/4) postings# cost allocations or settlements. TheSAP system will automatically perform the relevant controlling postings in the bac$ground so that !plan'actual or plan'commitment'actual reports can be run in PS or P+.

Standard costing using standard cost rates associated with wor$ centers (resources) are defined inSAP !# either internally calculated or manually assigned. This then means that cost center'basedcontrolling transactions have a direct impact on project costing. The moment you say -costs- in SAP#you say - !- automatically# even when dealing with projects in PS or P+.



Project Functionality of SAP-PP (Production Planning)

Production planning and project management in SAP have many touchpoints. They intersectparticularly in a ma$e'to'order environment involving sales'driven projects. n principle there are a lotof similarities between the production planning module (PP) of SAP and the Project System (PS) oreven Plant +aintenance (P+). Production orders are very similar to networ$s or maintenance

orders7wor$ orders.

The main difference is that PP deals with ongoing operational aspects while PS and P+ deal withprojects. Projects are defined as a series of activities with a start and finish date in order to completeclearly specified deliverables at a high &uality standard. 3rom that perspective the main conceptualdifference to PP is the limitation in time. PP# PS and P+ all define a series of tas$s# lin$ them throughrelationships with each other# assign wor$ centers to them to define where and by whom the tas$s aresupposed to be completed# and then schedule and cost these tas$s out.

5ven the tools used in SAP are very similar or often the same (li$e wor$ centers# definition ofrelationships# resource leveling). This should not be surprising as particularly the PS module# and alsoto some degree P+# has been built by combining PP and controlling ( !) functionality. t does indeedseem that one reason why project management in SAP often is perceived as not user'friendly is due to

that fact. +any of the -logistics- functions of the dynamically changing PS and P+ modules are rootedin the much more static PP module. The result is great functional power but often clumsy screens andtransactions.

The assignment of internally produced materials (components) to projects in PS or P+ reflects anotherarea where these modules intersect. n that case PP provides input to PS or P+# and the timing of thisinput is synchroni8ed through scheduling and +,P (materials re&uirements planning) transactions.

There are a number of limitations in the way PP on the one side and PS and P+ on the other sideinteract. At least in the standard SAP ,79 system costs and dates are not naturally rolling up orsynchroni8ing between these modules.

Project Functionality of SAP-SD (Sales & Distribution)What does Sales and :istribution (S:) functionality have to do with the management of enterprise

projects; t does for more companies than may seem obvious at a first glance. 3or contractors usingtheir own SAP system to manage and deliver capital investment projects the S: module is where thebillable deliverables of their projects are defined. The same is true for everybody who uses the SAPproject system (PS) to manage the ma$e'to'order production of comple% products# whether they arepowerplants# aircraft parts# or the concrete bridges.

SAP has functionality that allows to tie reference (template) project structures to product codes sothat at the time of sales order creation the setup of a project structure can automatically be triggered.This does then lin$ S: and PS seamlessly# at least on a high level. As the project progresses#milestone billing set up in SAP'PS can then trigger payments in S:# which again results in revenuepostings in the SAP financial accounting module (3 ). There are a number of other reasons where S:

can interact with projects managedf in SAP. +ostly# however# it does so only when you ta$e acomprehensive loo$ at the overall process# trying to ensure full integration. 1ot doing so may lead toinconsistencies between what sales people or customer relationship personnel sees in S: and theactual status of the delivery of products. !ne may just consider a situation where S: data from asuppliers system needs to be tied into a project master schedule managed by a general contractor. Toovercome the latter it is helpful to mirror and match purchase orders and sales orders betweensupplier and customer# also in line with the way the general project is managed.



Project Functionality of SAP- M ( n!estment Management)

The potential significance of SAP s nvestment +anagement module ( +) is too often overloo$edwhen considering the management of comple% enterprise projects. 1evertheless it should in mostcases be considered when designing scalable project management solution that center around SAP.

SAP + is a tool designed to enable program management in SAP. Program management as definedby SAP in that conte%t means the process of defining a hierarchy on top of many projects with thepurpose of planning and controlling costs# including project appropriation management and budgetauthori8ations. ts strongest integration points# besides PS# are with the SAP ontrolling ( !) andAsset +anagement (A+) modules.

While + was originally developed for the budgeting and high'level management of capital investmentinitiatives# its functionality has been e%tended to allow its use for similar functions. t simply is a toolthat can perform such functions on top of any $ind of PS projects.

Vario"s &ost Plannin$ 7ethods in PS

<ere is a very brief overview for you'

4asy *ost Planning"4*P# is really 6nit *osting with a pretty face "1ysap*om#. 3t is used inTransaction *E5/+ "Project Builder# only.

ou can set up 7*ost 1odels7 in 4*P using *haracteristics which can be used to calculate valuesand automatically create *ost Plan Kine 3tems ( this is useful for companies who have pre(set

planning methods "eg. Planning costs for building a bicycle, or a chemical test that re=uiresknown materials, labour, services and general costs.#. 3t is a very flexible tool.

n extention to 4*P is 4xecution !ervices, which allows you to automatically generate 1aterial$eservations, Purchase $e=uisitions and ctivity llocations. 3ts disadvantages "versus

+etworks# is that the planned costs are all aggregated to one 9B! "unless you split your 9B!7sup to reflect the work you are doing ( Kabour, 1aterials, 4=uipment etc#.

Therefore, actual costs hit the 9B! itself, not the line(item to which you planned. ;isadvantagesof 4*P is that it does not distribute planned costs across time "no distribution rule#. lso, there isno scheduling "start(finish, dependencies#. *onfiguration for 4*P is relatively straight forward.*osts for 4*P can be planned against any Plan 8ersion "default is Plan 8ersion /#.

+etworks allow you to plan costs via objects called +etwork ctivities. They can be maintainednot only in *E5/+, but also in *E5;. They are a little more complex to use, but they allow you tohave a networked structure. 4ach +etwork ctivity can have planned costs for 9ork

*entre% ctivity Type, !tock%+on(stock 1aterials, !ervices and Leneral *osts by *ost 4lement.ctivities can have a list of 1aterial *omponents.

+etworks will generate 1aterial $eservations and%or Purchase $e=uisitions automatically.*onfiguration can be very complex. ll costs for +etworks are sent to Plan 8ersion /.;istribution of costs across time is supported.;etailed *ost Planning is used when you simply want to plan your costs via *ost 4lements. oucan plan these costs against any Plan 8ersion.

Asset Val"e 9ate in Settlement

We are doin$ line item settlement in o"r system. As the settlement is done at the WBSlevel, all the assets capitali>ed +o"ld have the same asset val"e date. =s it possi le to havedifferent asset val"e date for different line items?



es, provided you do the settlement run on different dates. lso check the 23 settings forsettlement strategy.

! P !tandard defaults the following scenario'

n asset can only be capitalized when the asset is in use%productive. This means thedeliverable%asset must be completed.

This is the same as the status T4*) "technically complete#. 9hen you capitalize "settle to asset#,then the system takes the date when the 9B! status changed to T4*), and defaults this date asthe asset value. ll the line items in the 9B! will therefore assume the T4*) date of the 9B!and that is why all the line items in the 9B! have the same asset value date.

ll the individual line items contributes together to one uni=ue asset, and all have the same valuedate of the uni=ue asset, which was derived, from the T4*) date of the 9B!.

This can be adjusted and changed in the 23( module, but make sure you understand theimplications. The asset value date is used to derive the start date for depreciation, anddepreciation is normally governed externally by a governmental institution, and your companymust adhere to this external re=uirements. *onsult with your company7s auditor%financialexecutive to get the applicable rules and make sure your settings faals within this re=uirements.

<owever, with this techni=ue you can only maintain the fields of P$P!, e.g. user fields 6!$F.

3f your intention is to substitute corresponding Partner role in each level of 9B!, 3 think that willnot be possible with this techni=ue directly.

ou should additionally check if there is a user exit at partner maintenance to complete thescenario.



+ormally you can use user exit $LLB!// to insert a user specific into subsititution.

But in your case, it7s a little complex, because the partner is in another table "not in P$P!#.however you can try to insert your own field into table LB/- and regenerate with program$L6LB$// "note 5@-I#.

Salim 7ohsin Shakir



6sing the 4stimation method with 9B! means you are not really doing 481 in !

3 am not an expert in this area but 3 know a bit about it "3 made it in a customer, but at the end 3had to undo it#. ctually 3 cannot work with networks so all 3 have it is my memory.

The pool capacity works as you say, but it seems that you are using the capacity availabalityfeature. 3 understood that if you use that, the system only checks if there is capacity avalibale, butnot makes a capacity 0commitment0, it means, other networks can plan that capacity as own "thisis made in the 0levelling0 section#. t last, 3 only used the first feature so only had a look on thesecond.

!orry if this is not very clear "it has taken me an hour with several interrupts#.



3 very much agree with Luillermo, and 3 would suggest to go for his ideea. 3n my opinion using personal capacity planing in P!(<$ is very inflexible and deficitary.

<owever, the link P!(<$ you are asking for,

6nfortunately, there are some more constraints, which you will discover while testing.

Project Stat"s set to -E&;

When = set a project on stat"s -E&;. We can still do confirmations on the project.

=s there a settin$ or a +ay in +hich +e can set the project to -E&; and not e a le to doconfirmations on that partic"lar project?



There is no link between T4*) and actual confirmation. 3t might possible that the project istechnically completed but non technical activities are still pending..

All WBS elements, net+orks and activities are set on stat"s -E&; in the project. = have setthe stat"s over a +eek a$o and yet am still allo+ed to do confirmations to the activities in

the project.

We did not experience this pro lem efore. =t is the first time and it happens for allprojects that are set to stat"s -E&;.

3f you have networks and activities involved your best bet is to use project builder to make astatus change at the project definition level which will cascade down to wbs elements, networkheader and network operations.

ou may try setting a ;K2L flag and see if it prevents confirmations from occurring on theactivities. 3f you need to undo the deletion flag the se=uence is as follows'

6sing *E/5 undo ;K2L at project definition level then select all wbs elements and perform thesame. using *+55 undo ;K2L at network header level then select all activities and perform thesame.

Project builder allows status set downwards but not undo on all components, therefore re=uiring*E/5 and *+55 to undo.

9B! is nothing but 9ork Breakdown !tructure. 3t is mainly used in Project !ystem "P!#module. Tcode ' *E5/+

2or any project defined we must have atleast one 9B!. 9ithin this 9B! we can have networks. +etworks are nothing but the series of activities. 1aterial are used to perform the activities.

To explain in detail just consider one example'



Lovt of india wants to have $oads to be build through out the india. !o Project can be defined insap as 0*onnectivity0.

9B! can be roads within different states like $oads for Lujarat, Narnataka etc.. i.e. 9B!Lujarat, 9B! Narnataka etc.

9e can define different networks for these 9B! like $oad Between hmedabad to !urat orBetween Bangalore to Belgham.

2or this network we can have many activities like Kand selection, Kand Preparation, $oadBuilding, 2inal finishing etc etc.

<emal7s example was a good example. Project !ystems comes into play only when the industry7s business is based on projects like... *onstruction companies, 4ngineer to )rder scenarios. oumay not see anyone using P! module for retail business. s <emal explained in that example,

you have a main project which is broken down into 9B! elements. ou can use the T* *E5/+to create the project and the 9B! elements. 4ach 9B! may have mutiple +etworks associatedand each +etwork may have multiple +etwork ctivities as explained in the example by <emal.

)n the !ales )rder, if your client is implementing P! module, you may have to attach the !ales)rder to the 9B! element it belongs to. 9B! element is nothing but a bucket where all theactivities belonging to that particular part of the project are captured. 3n the example, 9B!Lujurat will tell you how many !ales )rders were created for the Lujurat sector, howmuch wasspent on raw materials, what7s the currect stock "Zroject stock# available. <ow many Production)rders have been confirmed and howmany of them are getting confrmed in the future. <owmany invoices have been generated or how much revenue has been generated for that particular

sector. <ow many deliveries have been made, what deliverables are still not accomplished.!o as you can see, P! is the center stage for all the modules that are being implemented like23%*), !;, 11, PP in this example. ou can have cost centers and work centers defined. oucan also have profit centers assigned at the plant level and get reports on varius selectioncriteria.

3n a complete cycle of P!, like in reality, you initiate a project, you confirm%release the9B!%activities as per re=uirement, you execute the project and you close it.

)ne cannot initiate an activity unless it has been released by the project manager. 4verything isaccountable here and every dime is counted and at the end you know howmuch did you spend ormake on each sector "9B!#. ;ont get confused with the term sector here... 3 am using it just forthe explaination purposes.

P! concultants are one of the highest paid consultants. Their supply is less and so is the demand.They are expected to understand real world business processes very well and they are generally

the center stage of a project.

The Project System has no organi8ational structures of its own2 you incorporate it into the e%isting

structure by ma$ing assignments to the organi8ational units in Accounting and 4ogistics. t is this

which enables the Project System to present data clearly and in many different ways.

SAP R/3 is based on a three tier client/server technology. Typically, it is made up of three functionallydistinct layers namely: the user interface, business logic and database.The user interface, hich is other ise !no n as the presentation server displays the interface forusers" communication ith the SAP system. #t is often referred to as the SAP $%#. As a matter of fact, itis a program called sapgui.e&e. The application server is here the business logic and datamanipulation ta!es place. 'ata processing, SAP administration tas!s and client re(uest/feedbac!management are handled ithin the business layer. The database layer is synonymous to the databaseserver and it typically acts as a data repository for tables and other database ob)ects and structures

#deally, an R/3 system is composed of one database server, one or more application servers and one ormore presentation servers. SAP *usiness +ne on the other hand is composed of a database server andone or more presentation servers.

the difference bet een SAP Business One and SAP R/3 . The non technical ans er to this (uestion isthat SAP *usiness +ne is SAP"s offering for small and mid si-e companies, hile R/3 is SAP"s offering forlarge companies.

Being a beginner in SAP PS is a challenge. As a techie, When I started my ABAP Program in PS Module, I found a lot of scattered information but thereis no article or blog with consolidated information even on basicterminologies of SAP PS. This blog is my attem t to rovide an insight ofbasic techno!functional as ects and terminologies of SAP PS to a novice.

In my first blog you will find the im ortant terms of the PS module. I havetried to e" lain them with the hel of an e"am le. #ollowing this is the ne"tblog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/9659 where the technicalities of thesame are covered.

he Pro#ect S"stem 7PS8 module o! SAP is speci!icall" designed to pro%ide comprehensi%e and !ull"integrated pro#ect management !unctionalit" !or SAP customers. A Pro#ect is a comple& undertaking6 bringingwith it huge data o! di!!erent t"pe.

At the beginning o! each pro#ect6 whether it in%ol%es de%eloping a new product6 make-to-order engineeringor internal organi9ation6 "ou need to de!ine and set up the structures necessar" to manage "our pro#ect andincorporate them into "our e&isting organi9ations and processes. e!ore "ou can run a pro#ect in its entiret"6

"ou must !irst describe the pro#ect goals precisel" and create a structure !or the pro#ect acti%ities to becarried out. A clear pro#ect structure pro%ides a basis !or success!ul pro#ect planning6 monitoring and control.

Some important terms:

Project %e initionPro#ect =e!inition is general description o! the pro#ect that "ou want to manage. It is a !ramework laid down!or all the ob#ects created within a pro#ect. It contains organi9ational data that is binding !or the entirepro#ect.

It pro%ides o%er%iew o! thepro#ect and !orms basis !or the pro#ect organi9ation and coordination.It shows work6 time and mone" spenton the pro#ect. ;ou can use it to plan dates > costs and allocate budget. he 'ork reakdown Structure canbe displa"ed according to:



• Phase

• ?unction

• Ob#ect

Indi%idual tasks re$uired to carr" out the pro#ect is called ' S elements.

etwor' he network describes pro#ect processing. hus the etwork contains instructions on how to carr" outacti%ities in a speci!ic wa"6 in a speci!ic order and in a speci!ic time period.Main elements o! network are

• Carr" out earned %alue anal"sis.

• =etermine dates in billing plan !or sales orders.

Relations,ips ;ou use relationships to depict chronological and technical dependencies between acti%ities. he relationshipdetermines the nature o! the link between the indi%idual acti%ities. :

• ?S elationship : An acti%it" does not start until the preceding acti%it" is completed.

• SS elationship : An acti%it" can not start unless another acti%it" has started.

• ?? elationship : An acti%it" can not be completed until another acti%it" has been completed.• S? elationship : An acti%it" can not be completed until another succeeding acti%it" has stared.

Con irmationsIt is a part o! network control. It documents the state o! processing !or the network acti%ities and acti%it"elements. here are two t"pes o! con!irmations Partial > ?inal.Con!irmations are used to record:

• he work center where the acti%it" was carried out.



• he person who carried out this acti%it".

• he "ield and scrap produced in an acti%it".

• he actual %alues !or the duration and dates.

SettlementAs a rule6 pro#ects are used to collect and monitor costs6 but are not usuall" the !inal cost ob#ect. ?or thisreason the costs in at"pical pro#ect will be settled at the end o! the period. o this end6 "ou store settlementrules in the acti%it" / ' S element re$uiring settlement. he" contain in!ormation on settlement recei%ers6cost apportionment and control data. Settlement recei%ers could be cost centers6 (/B accounts. tc.

$d"et he budget is the appro%ed cost structure !or an action or pro#ect in a particular period. udgeting di!!ers!rom cost plan in that it is binding. In the appro%al phase "ou prescribe "our pro#ect !unds in the !orm o!budget. It is possible to allocate o%erall and annual budget in parallel.

&or' Centers'ork center represents the resources responsible !or e&ecuting an acti%it". In a work center6 "ou can enterthe a%ailable capacit" and an operating time. ;ou can arrange the work centers in a hierarch" !or capacit"e%aluation purposes. Internal acti%ities are assigned to work centers 7resources8 to be completed.A workcenter is a ph"sical unit within a compan" where an acti%it" is per!ormed.

Pro it CenterIt is subdi%ision o! business organi9ation which is set up !or internal management control purposes. Pro!itcenters di%ide business up on a management basis. he basic aim o! pro!it center accounting is to presentareas o! the business as entities operating independentl" in the market.

Lots of jargons ….let me site an instance of the construction project of a building..

Bet sa" there is a construction compan" that is going to construct a Multi-Store" building.

he !irst thing that needs to be created in the s"stem is Project Definition . he entire acti%it" plan

!or this pro#ect will come under this pro#ect de!inition. Overall budget needs to be estimated6assigned and get appro%ed !or the pro#ect. Pro#ect timeline needs to be decided. Pro#ect could be thensubdi%ided into separate parts which are actuall" WBS elements lets sa" in this e.g. we ha%e * main' S elements:

3. $and Ac%uisition

2. Procurement

<. &onstruction

*. 'eneral

o e%er" abo%e ' S6 budget and time line need to estimated.

ow to take an e&ample we will drill down two ' S elements namel" Land Ac $isition and Constr$ction.



- Land Ac $isition could be sub di%ided into acti%ities as in

• 'eneration of re%uest document for the land.

• Soil testing

• A roval for construction

• Pre aration of urchase order of the land

Abo%e * acti%ities should be done in se$uence. As in second acti%it" will start onl" a!ter re$uest document!or the land is completed and so on. ence these acti%ities ha%e /S Relations,ip between them.

- ow take ' S element Constr$ction.

It could be sub di%ided in to !loor wise tasks. Bet sa"6 we ha%e !our stor" building and each !loor has * !lats.So under ' S element 0 onstruction 1 we ma" create separate sub WBS element !or each

!loor. ach sub ' S element o! !loor ma" be di%ided !urther into last level of WBS elements

one !or each !lat on the !loor. his wa" we will ha%e hierarch! of the WBS elements .?inall"last le%el o! ' S elements i.e. ' S elements o! the !lats will ha%e acti%ities like

3. Plumbing

2. (lectrical wor)

<. #looring

*. Painting

D. #urniture

hese acti%ities !orm the etwork.

Bet sa" Plumbing and lectricit" work are the e"ternal activities as the" are gi%en to a outsidecontractor. 'hile the other acti%ities are done b" compan" labor so the" are internal activities .Plumbing and lectrical work could be started simultaneousl".'hile !looring needs be done once theplumbing and lectrical work is complete. ence the" ha%e ?S relationship and so onE. ow i! we talk aboutmilestones :

3. #irst milestone could be urchasing the land

2. Second could construct the base of the building.

<. Third could be construct the floors

*. #ourth could be com letion of lumbing and electrical wor) for all the flats. And so on*.

As I ha%e said that &or' center represents the resources responsible !or e&ecuting an acti%it" ?or theabo%e acti%ities6 work centers could be the compan" labor re$uired !or the construction6 labor pro%ided b"the e&ternal ser%ice center !or plumbing and lectricit" work. while Pro it Centers could be the !inall"constructed !lats.

SAP Project System - A ready Re erence ( Part 2 )

In m" pre%ious blog https'%%www.sdn.sap.com%irj%sdn%weblogs blogV%pub%wlg%J@55 6 I had e&plained asic PSterminologies with the help o! a simple e&ample.

ow let me go to some technicalities o! the same.

I! some bod" asks me to de%elop report in PS module what basic in!ormation do I need,

Mainl" I need to !ind out three things :

• Master tables and there relationship with each other.

• Standard transactions in PS module and

• APIs used to deal with PS data.

BetHs start with the master table
