Material Cost Planning in cProjects (4.0)

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus

I'm new to cProjects and PS.

My project has a Phase which I created as a "Material Acquisition Phase". Effectively I need to source Materials for my Project and would like to record this in cProjects.

Is it possible to record the planned cost for this Material in cProjects or is this only possible in PS.

The phase has a WBS Element attached to it.

If it is possible, what are the steps required to make it work.

Many Thanks in advance

Hi Panduranga,

In cproject, you cannot Plan for Material Purchase. cproject is a estimation tool where in we can estimate the resource cost on role-based.

Through Cproject and PS integration, you can get the same task "Material acquistion" in both cproject as well as in PS.

In PS only, we can plan value for material acquistion where the value will take from Material master same will not happen in cproject as it doesnot have link to R/3 Marial master.

Hope you understood the concept clearly.

Thanks and Regards
