Hi,

SAP Project System supports the following activity categories.

• Internal Processing: for capacities to be staged in your own

company

• External Processing: for tasks to be assigned externally

• Service Activities: for procuring external services

• Costs: for planning additional primary costs.

You use the activities in the network to plan the labor, capacities, materials,tools, and services you require to carry out various tasks in your project. By assigning milestones to activities, you can document events that are particularly important for the progress of the project and reference their respective dates in billing or invoicing plans, for example. During the project execution phase, commitment and actual costs are updated automatically to the network activities as a result of various business transactions (for example, confirmations, ordering processes, goods issues, incoming invoices).

Hope this helps.
