Hi All

In project profile there is an indicator integrated Planning. What does it mean?. And in what cases do we use integrated planning?

Please answer my query.

integrated planning is mainly used where the cost center planning exists, in order to synchronize both project planning and cost centre planning.

F4 will give you most of your answer.

This indicator specifies whether an order/project participates in integrated planning or not. You define this per project profile for projects in Customizing:

Activity inputs planned in a plan-integrated order/project are updated directly on the sending cost center if 'Integrated planning with Cost Center Accounting' is activated in the version. You can then also settle plan-integrated orders/projects to cost centers.

For the explaning this concept in IDEAS PLM230 there is small excercise, just check it out.

Plan data is passed on to the profit center and the extended general ledger if both 'Integrated planning with Cost Center Accounting' and the "Integrated planning" indicator are activated in the version.

This is more helpful in the cases where you wanted to updated the costcenter with hours planned on project..
