Hi,

When define the relationship for the WBS element or network or activity then it will shows the critical path of your project when you see in the Gann chart.

The Float & Reduction strategy need to be defined in the IMG to get this critical path.

You can follow the scheduling type also.

The Gantt chart is displayed in this manner in which critical path in red indication, normal activities in Blue indication & activities confirmation in yellow indication.

a)The Gantt chart shows the Forward Scheduling (Earliest start (ES), Earliest finish

(EF)) & Backward scheduling Latest Start (LS), Latest Finish (LF).

b)Whenever the activities are confirmed the yellow indication appears in the Gantt chart.

c)The Relationship between the activities is also displayed in chart.

Hi,

Yes, CPM is in place for SAP PS.

You need not define floats. System will calculate them during scheduling based on your activity durations and relationships. System marks critical activities (float<=0) RED.
