1. Milestone Billing

2. Delivery

3. RRB (Resouce Related Billing)

4. Assembly Processing

5. Result Analysis

By using the integration so SAP PS & IM in the SAP system, you can plan, distribute monitor budgest of projects.

Investment programmas in the investment management for the basis for the comprehensive planning & budgeting of costs for a company's plans or investments. Investment programs consist of an investment program defination with genearal specifications and default values for entier programmes & hierarchically arranged IM Program postions.

After you create structure of an investment program, you can use this to plan costs hierarchically and to allocate budget.

Maintenance order, internal orders and projects that you assign to investment program postions are called investment measures. ( in SAP terminology create Appropriation request IMA11) to map project proposals, ideasother plans before their possible implmentation in system. you can create variant within the AR for the different investmemy options

Using status & workflow you can map multilel aprroval process for AR in IM.

After you approve the AR you can transfer this to the Investment measure

when you create project from AR, you can use operative & std WBS as template. when you transfer AR to project, project receives master data of AR.

after you hvae assigned AR & Investment measure to investment program postions, you can roll up their planned cost to relevet programm positions ( IM34)

Cost pllanig of Investment programme can be use for the budgeting process in IM. Fist step to allocate budget odiff. prog. positions & second to allocate budget to IM measure i.e. in PS terms projects.

Settelemnt of Investment projects :

if you assign an investment profile to a WBS, the system may automaically generate one or more AUC when you release WBS. Based on requirement of your you create fixed asset & diff. part to be capitalised as FXA & not.
