Hi

Milestones are events that are of particular significance to the project flow. You can assign milestones to activities or WBS elements.

If you want to use particular milestones several times in project planning, you should create standard milestones, and use these as templates to copy from.

You use milestones in the Project System for the following tasks and functions:

1. To trigger defined milestone functions in activities

2. For the milestone technique of progress analysis

3. To determine dates in a sales order

4. For information purposes

5. For milestone trend analysis

Milestone functions are functions in a network that are predefined by SAP. You can use them to trigger a sequence of steps that carry out a business process.e.g

1. Release subsequent activities

2. Release up to stop indicator

3. Include standard network

4. Create network

5. Include subnetwork

6. Start workflow task
