Hi Manu,

SAP Project Systems supports comprehensive functions for planning, controlling & organizing all activities carried out during the course of a project. It helps you manage your project structures, dates, costs, and resources throughout the entire project life cycle. Project Systems is management approach which enables users to compare and analyze various projects effectively with a clear and comprehensive integrated methodology in order to ensure an expeditious management decision making.

Project – activities executed by different departments for a common objective/purpose and in which the total budget satisfies a standard amount for each objective/purpose.

At the highest level of SAP Project Systems, projects are defined and then structured into an organizational form that maps to the specific project.

1. Work Breakdown Structure-The project is first broken down into

work breakdown structures (WBS) which map to specific project

deliverables.

2. Networks - Each WBS can then be broken down into networks of

activities. A network can be thought of as a list of tasks

organized into a process flow with specific timing.

3. Activities - Activities are the key tasks to be completed.These

activities map to internal activities, external activities, cost

activities and materials components.

4. Work Centers - Internal activities are assigned to work centers

(resources) to be completed.

Hope this helps.

Hi Manu,

Projects are generally part of the internal processes of a company. To be able to control all tasks in project execution, you need an organizational form that is specific to the project and which is shared by all departments involved. Before you can carry out a project in its entirety, the project goals must be precisely described and the project activities to be carried out must be structured. A clear, unambiguous project structure is the basis for successful project planning, monitoring, and control.

The high degree of integration between the Project System (PS) and other R/3 application components means that you can plan, execute, and account for projects as part of your normal commercial procedures. This means the Project System has constant access to data in all the departments involved in the project.

The R/3 Project System guarantees close and constant monitoring of all aspects of your project.

This includes both technical and commercial aspects of the project.
