Hi,

Product Development Project can be treated as a R&D project which you can use SAP PS.

You can settle your product development costs to Cost Center. We can not treat this as a asset and hence Cost Center would be idle for settlement receiver.

Hi,

SAP PS has good Integration with PP and FI CO modules. So goes well along the ETO scenario.

The normal process is that Project is created and goes in to design phase , where we design product as per customer's requirement . Design BOM helps in this.Once you design is ready you can generate Production Orders base on MRP generated with reference to Projects.

All the cost including overheads are charged to the Project as actual cost.

These costs are later settled to Cost Center.

Thanks,

Dear sir,

As per product development is concern it will not generate any revenue, just a feasibility process, here client wants to treat their product as unique and to calculate incurred cost and would like to go for PS- scenario is engineer to order type, for this std sap-ps need to configure?

Ofcourse it can be used. If you are going to develop a product for your internal use and not going to generate any revenue, check out SAP Help for Investment Management. If its the other way round standard SAP PS can very well be used for this.

As far as configuration goes it entirely depends on your business process.
