Project Functionality of - SAP-PS (Project System)

The Project System module of SAP (PS) is specifically designed to provide comprehensive and fully integrated project management functionality for SAP customers. When it was originally designed and developed its core functionality was borrowed from and shared with the PP and ! modules. So most of the PS objects (W"S elements# networ$s# activities# activity elements) are cost objects similar to cost centers in CO# while networ$s have scheduling and resource management capabilities that are very similar to PP. Whenever you need fle%ibility and fre&uent user interaction for resource loaded scheduling activities# you still feel the remnants of an architecture and user interface that was originally designed for the more static conte%t of PP. Shortcomings include user'friendliness since SAP did not manage to satisfactorily put the end user in control to easily manipulate the data. (n that respect# SAP)s unsurpassed enterprise functionality often is perceived as an issue by end'users. Also# and somewhat ironically# PS and PP are not seamlessly integrated. This means that costs or dates do not roll up or cannot be pushed down between PS *PP.

What is SAP PS? 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. clear, unambiguous project structure is the basis for successful project planning, monitoring, and control. The high degree of integration between the Project !ystem "P!# and other $%& application components means that you can plan, execute, and account for projects as part of your normal commercial procedures. This means the Project !ystem has constant access to data in all the departments involved in the project. The $%& P! guarantees close and constant monitoring of all aspects of your project including both technical and commercial aspects of the project.

Versions in Project Systems

Explain the type of version in SAP Project Systems. Basically, there are different kinds of versions in PS. They are' . Project versions ( these are basically snapshots of a project at different stages of a project. Based on how the system is set up, a version could be created everytime the system status of a project object is changed, for example. )r, you could manually create a project version in transaction *+!,- or the like. .ou could create a version with a key and then you could compare the different snapshots of a project against each other or against version / "operative project#. !. Sim"lation versions ( these are essentially 0play around with0 versions. 1eaning that you could use them to try 0what if0 kind of scenario by changing dates, structure, milestones, etc... and compare results with the operative version. 2or example, you may want to determine what

the impact is going to be of a certain change to the project before making the actual change to the operative project. Then, you could create a simulation version, play around with it to make sure it does what you want it to do, then make the actual change to the operative change or you could convert the simulation version to the operative version also. 3 am not sure if they are hidden issues in doing this, but to make the point here, the simulation version is a 0play ground0 for 0what if0 scenarii for the project. The main difference, 3 believe, between the project and simulation versions is that project versions cannot be changed%modified once they are copied, while simulation versions can be. lso, you cannot copy a project version to an operative version, but you can copy a simulation version to an operative version. #. Plannin$%&ontrollin$ versions ( these are the versions used for storing different kinds of planning details for the project. 4ssentially, these versions are also 0operational0 and can be changed as needed. 2or example, you may want to keep the operative version "version /# always for actual costs, while you will use planning version P- to store planned values from 4*P, then version P5 for 6nit *osting values, etc... 6nlike simulation versions however, you cannot copy a planned version to the operational project "3 don7t think#. .ou can however, copy one plan version to the other. '. Pro$ress Versions ( These versions are used for carrying out 4arned 8alue nalysis and other measurements against project progress based on P)*, etc. Progress version is controlling area specific and defines the control data for P)* and earned values. 3t is mandatory to maintain progress version along with method of calculation. The system records progress analysis data in the progress version. That is why you can get the result only if you maintain it in the progress tab of 9B!. !P$) (: Project !ystem (: Progress(: Progress nalysis (: ;efine 1easurement 1ethod as ;efault. <ere you define the 8ersion, )bject Type, Plan% ctual, ;efault 1easurement 1ethod. fter that 8ersion would be defaulted for the object in the hierarchy.

Project Functionality of SAP-PM (Plant Maintenance)

The SAP Plant +aintenance module (P+) is designed to handle the management and e%ecution of integrated maintenance processes. Such processes include preventative# routine and turnaround maintenance# all fully integrated with purchasing# +,P# controlling and financial accounting performed in SAP. The main objects used in P+ are wor$ orders# a series of which (often grouped by revisions)

are what typically is thought of as a -project-. Such maintenance projects are planned by describing the estimated wor$ effort per -operation- (activity) and wor$ center performing that wor$ effort. "y lin$ing operations inside wor$ orders or across them a generic project schedule is created. .nfortunately SAP'P+ has only limited scheduling capabilities. Therefore effective enterprise project scheduling for maintenance purposes re&uires either the use of the SAP PS module# the integration with e%ternal scheduling tools li$e Primavera or +S Project# or for less comple% projects the use of e%ternal tools li$e /W!S (for more information about these tools please search this web site). The basic master records used by Plant +aintenance are0 ' +aintenance 1otifications2 ' +aintenance !rders2 ' 3unctional 4ocations2 ' 5&uipments2 ' +aterials2 and ' Wor$ enters (,esources).

Project Functionality of SAP-CO (Controlling)

There are several important touchpoints between SAP projects and the SAP ontrolling module ( !). All SAP cost planning and budgeting (in SAP terminology0 budget 6 approved cost plan) functions are handled using standard ! functionality. !bjects relevant to project management in SAP are cost objects. This means that planned# committed and actual costs can be charged to them li$e to a cost center or an internal order in !. Among these cost objects are W"S elements# networ$s# activities# activity elements# maintenance orders# operations and suboperations. osts may be planned on many levels and in many ways# starting as investment management ((+) level or W"S structure level cost planning# through primary cost element planning# and going on to purchase re&uisitions# planned allocations# planned hourly use of resources with associated standard cost rates# and many more. Actual costs may be charged to SAP project objects in many ways# typically through goods or service receipts# accounts payable invoices# general ledger (/4) postings# cost allocations or settlements. The SAP system will automatically perform the relevant controlling postings in the bac$ground so that ! plan'actual or plan'commitment'actual reports can be run in PS or P+. Standard costing using standard cost rates associated with wor$ centers (resources) are defined in SAP !# either internally calculated or manually assigned. This then means that cost center'based controlling transactions have a direct impact on project costing. The moment you say -costs- in SAP# you say - !- automatically# even when dealing with projects in PS or P+.

Project Functionality of SAP-PP (Production Planning)

Production planning and project management in SAP have many touchpoints. They intersect particularly in a ma$e'to'order environment involving sales'driven projects. (n principle there are a lot of similarities between the production planning module (PP) of SAP and the Project System (PS) or even Plant +aintenance (P+). Production orders are very similar to networ$s or maintenance orders7wor$ orders. The main difference is that PP deals with ongoing operational aspects while PS and P+ deal with projects. Projects are defined as a series of activities with a start and finish date in order to complete clearly specified deliverables at a high &uality standard. 3rom that perspective the main conceptual difference to PP is the limitation in time. PP# PS and P+ all define a series of tas$s# lin$ them through relationships with each other# assign wor$ centers to them to define where and by whom the tas$s are supposed to be completed# and then schedule and cost these tas$s out. 5ven the tools used in SAP are very similar or often the same (li$e wor$ centers# definition of relationships# resource leveling). This should not be surprising as particularly the PS module# and also to some degree P+# has been built by combining PP and controlling ( !) functionality. (t does indeed seem that one reason why project management in SAP often is perceived as not user'friendly is due to that fact. +any of the -logistics- functions of the dynamically changing PS and P+ modules are rooted in the much more static PP module. The result is great functional power but often clumsy screens and transactions. The assignment of internally produced materials (components) to projects in PS or P+ reflects another area where these modules intersect. (n that case PP provides input to PS or P+# and the timing of this input is synchroni8ed through scheduling and +,P (materials re&uirements planning) transactions. There are a number of limitations in the way PP on the one side and PS and P+ on the other side interact. At least in the standard SAP ,79 system costs and dates are not naturally rolling up or synchroni8ing between these modules.

Project Functionality of SAP-SD (Sales & Distribution)

What does Sales and :istribution (S:) functionality have to do with the management of enterprise projects; (t does for more companies than may seem obvious at a first glance. 3or contractors using their own SAP system to manage and deliver capital investment projects the S: module is where the billable deliverables of their projects are defined. The same is true for everybody who uses the SAP project system (PS) to manage the ma$e'to'order production of comple% products# whether they are powerplants# aircraft parts# or the concrete bridges. SAP has functionality that allows to tie reference (template) project structures to product codes so that at the time of sales order creation the setup of a project structure can automatically be triggered. This does then lin$ S: and PS seamlessly# at least on a high level. As the project progresses# milestone billing set up in SAP'PS can then trigger payments in S:# which again results in revenue postings in the SAP financial accounting module (3(). There are a number of other reasons where S: can interact with projects managedf in SAP. +ostly# however# it does so only when you ta$e a comprehensive loo$ at the overall process# trying to ensure full integration. 1ot doing so may lead to inconsistencies between what sales people or customer relationship personnel sees in S: and the actual status of the delivery of products. !ne may just consider a situation where S: data from a suppliers) system needs to be tied into a project master schedule managed by a general contractor. To overcome the latter it is helpful to mirror and match purchase orders and sales orders between supplier and customer# also in line with the way the general project is managed.

Project Functionality of SAP- M ( n!estment Management)

The potential significance of SAP)s (nvestment +anagement module ((+) is too often overloo$ed when considering the management of comple% enterprise projects. 1evertheless it should in most cases be considered when designing scalable project management solution that center around SAP. SAP (+ is a tool designed to enable program management in SAP. Program management as defined by SAP in that conte%t means the process of defining a hierarchy on top of many projects with the purpose of planning and controlling costs# including project appropriation management and budget authori8ations. (ts strongest integration points# besides PS# are with the SAP ontrolling ( !) and Asset +anagement (A+) modules. While (+ was originally developed for the budgeting and high'level management of capital investment initiatives# its functionality has been e%tended to allow its use for similar functions. (t simply is a tool that can perform such functions on top of any $ind of PS projects.

Proposed Business Process ' ssume there are seven expense heads in maintenance department. There may be addition of expense head in near future. Based on the maintenance heads, maintenance department will create a project in project system. This project will be used for statistical purpose only ? will not have any financial implication. 6pon creation of a project, 9B! elements will be created as per the expense heads. !o for each expense head, there will be one top level 9B! element. gain these 9B! elements will be divided in twelve 9B! elements. These twelve 9B! elements represent twelve calendar months. Budget will be allocated to each 9B! element ? the 9B! element will be released from the project. 1aintenance department will create maintenance orders as per their work re=uirements. These orders will be settled to cost centre, which is maintained in the settlement rule. lso 9B! element will have to be mentioned in each order so that the budget control can take place. !o as to capture cost from each maintenance order, the 9B! element field will be made Tmandatory fieldT in maintenance order.

!o when a maintenance order is released, system will do a budget check against the 9B! element mentioned. 3f the budget check status is )N, order is released or else it will stopped from release. 3f the order is stopped from release, maintenance department will have to supplement the budget. 6pon supplementing, the order is released again ? the maintenance cost such as, labour, material costs can be booked on the order. gain the order cost is settled to cost centre ? at the same time, budget is consumed from the respective 9B! element. 4very year, maintenance department will copy the previous years project so as to save time ? efforts to create project ? 9B! elements. nd the maintenance department will assign the budget allocated to each 9B! element in a financial year. 3t is also possible to return the unutilised budget or, transfer of budget from one 9B! element to another.

Asset Val"e 9ate in Settlement

We are doin$ line item settlement in o"r system. As the settlement is done at the WBS level, all the assets capitali>ed +o"ld have the same asset val"e date. =s it possi,le to have different asset val"e date for different line items?

.es, provided you do the settlement run on different dates. lso check the 23 settings for settlement strategy. ! P !tandard defaults the following scenario' n asset can only be capitalized when the asset is in use%productive. This means the deliverable%asset must be completed. This is the same as the status T4*) "technically complete#. 9hen you capitalize "settle to asset#, then the system takes the date when the 9B! status changed to T4*), and defaults this date as the asset value. ll the line items in the 9B! will therefore assume the T4*) date of the 9B! and that is why all the line items in the 9B! have the same asset value date. ll the individual line items contributes together to one uni=ue asset, and all have the same value date of the uni=ue asset, which was derived, from the T4*) date of the 9B!. This can be adjusted and changed in the 23( module, but make sure you understand the implications. The asset value date is used to derive the start date for depreciation, and depreciation is normally governed externally by a governmental institution, and your company must adhere to this external re=uirements. *onsult with your company7s auditor%financial executive to get the applicable rules and make sure your settings faals within this re=uirements.

Tcode ' *E5/+ 2or any project defined we must have atleast one 9B!. 9ithin this 9B! we can have networks. +etworks are nothing but the series of activities. 1aterial are used to perform the activities. To explain in detail just consider one example'

Lovt of india wants to have $oads to be build through out the india. !o Project can be defined in sap as 0*onnectivity0. 9B! can be roads within different states like $oads for Lujarat, Narnataka etc.. i.e. 9B! Lujarat, 9B! Narnataka etc. 9e can define different networks for these 9B! like $oad Between hmedabad to !urat or Between Bangalore to Belgham. 2or this network we can have many activities like Kand selection, Kand Preparation, $oad Building, 2inal finishing etc etc. <emal7s example was a good example. Project !ystems comes into play only when the industry7s business is based on projects like... *onstruction companies, 4ngineer to )rder scenarios. .ou may not see anyone using P! module for retail business. s <emal explained in that example, you have a main project which is broken down into 9B! elements. .ou can use the T* *E5/+ to create the project and the 9B! elements. 4ach 9B! may have mutiple +etworks associated and each +etwork may have multiple +etwork ctivities as explained in the example by <emal. )n the !ales )rder, if your client is implementing P! module, you may have to attach the !ales )rder to the 9B! element it belongs to. 9B! element is nothing but a bucket where all the activities belonging to that particular part of the project are captured. 3n the example, 9B! Lujurat will tell you how many !ales )rders were created for the Lujurat sector, howmuch was spent on raw materials, what7s the currect stock "Zroject stock# available. <ow many Production )rders have been confirmed and howmany of them are getting confrmed in the future. <ow many invoices have been generated or how much revenue has been generated for that particular sector. <ow many deliveries have been made, what deliverables are still not accomplished. !o as you can see, P! is the center stage for all the modules that are being implemented like 23%*), !;, 11, PP in this example. .ou can have cost centers and work centers defined. .ou can also have profit centers assigned at the plant level and get reports on varius selection criteria. 3n a complete cycle of P!, like in reality, you initiate a project, you confirm%release the 9B!%activities as per re=uirement, you execute the project and you close it. )ne cannot initiate an activity unless it has been released by the project manager. 4verything is accountable here and every dime is counted and at the end you know howmuch did you spend or make on each sector "9B!#. ;ont get confused with the term sector here... 3 am using it just for the explaination purposes. '# 3n one typical example, the company 3 was working with until not too long ago, had ;eliveries from the Project "T*' *+!/#. 9e never used 8K/-+. 9e used *+!/ to create a delivery and then used 8K/5+ for confirming the picking =uantity for the already created delivery document.

3 hope this should help you at least a bit. 37m not a P! consultant so 3 may not know a whole lot but trying going to *E5/+ and you will see a lot yourself. P! concultants are one of the highest paid consultants. Their supply is less and so is the demand. They are expected to understand real world business processes very well and they are generally the center stage of a project.

SAP R/3 is based on a three tier client/server technology. Typically, it is made up of three functionally distinct layers namely: the user interface, business logic and database. The user interface, hich is other ise !no n as the presentation server displays the interface for users" communication ith the SAP system. #t is often referred to as the SAP $%#. As a matter of fact, it is a program called sapgui.e&e. The application server is here the business logic and data manipulation ta!es place. 'ata processing, SAP administration tas!s and client re(uest/feedbac! management are handled ithin the business layer. The database layer is synonymous to the database server and it typically acts as a data repository for tables and other database ob)ects and structures

#deally, an R/3 system is composed of one database server, one or more application servers and one or more presentation servers. SAP *usiness +ne on the other hand is composed of a database server and one or more presentation servers. the difference bet een SAP Business One and SAP R/3. The non technical ans er to this (uestion is that, SAP *usiness +ne is SAP"s offering for small and mid si-e companies, hile R/3 is SAP"s offering for large companies.

A Pro#ect is a comple& ndertaking6 bringing with it h ge data o! di!!erent t"pe. At the beginning o! each pro#ect6 whether it in%ol%es de%eloping a new prod ct6 make-to-order engineering or internal organi;ation6 "o need to de!ine and set p the str ct res necessar" to manage "o r pro#ect and incorporate them into "o r e&isting organi;ations and processes. <e!ore "o can r n a pro#ect in its entiret"6 "o m st !irst describe the pro#ect goals precisel" and create a str ct re !or the pro#ect acti%ities to be carried o t. A clear pro#ect str ct re pro%ides a basis !or s ccess! l pro#ect planning6 monitoring and control.

=o create and manage "o r pro#ect str ct re in SAP -/7 Pro#ect S"stem6 b" means o! work breakdown str ct res and networks.The '<S describes indi%id al phases and ! nctions o! a pro#ect. /etwork contains the indi%id al pro#ect tasks and the dependencies between them in the !orm o! acti%ities and relationships

Some important terms:

Project %e inition
Pro#ect >e!inition is general description o! the pro#ect that "o want to manage. It is a !ramework laid down !or all the ob#ects created within a pro#ect. It contains organi;ational data that is binding !or the entire pro#ect.

&or' (rea'down Str$ct$re (&(S)

'<S is a hierarchical model o! the tasks to be per!ormed in the pro#ect. It pro%ides o%er%iew o! the pro#ect and !orms basis !or the pro#ect organi;ation and coordination.It shows work6 time and mone" spent on the pro#ect. =o can se it to plan dates ? costs and allocate b dget. The 'ork <reakdown Str ct re can be displa"ed according to:

Phase @ nction Ob#ect

Indi%id al tasks re$ ired to carr" o t the pro#ect is called '<S elements.

)etwor'
The network describes pro#ect processing. Th s the /etwork contains instr ctions on how to carr" o t acti%ities in a speci!ic wa"6 in a speci!ic order and in a speci!ic time period.Main elements o! network are acti%ities and relationships. It !orms the basis !or planning6 anal";ing and monitoring time sched les6 costs6 ? reso rces.

Acti*ities
Acti%ities are sed to plan pro#ect sta!!ing6 capacit"6 material6 P-Ts6 and ser%ice re$ irements. 'hen acti%ities are assigned to '<S elements6 detailed %iew o! costs6 dates6 and capacities at '<S element co ld be obtained. ItAs a task in a network which has a de!ined start and !inish. An acti%it" can be broken down into acti%it" elements.Three categories o! acti%ities in the Pro#ect S"stem:B

Internal Acti%ities .&ternal Acti%ities (eneral Cost Acti%ities

Acti*ity element
Acti%it" element is an acti%it" which is s bordinate to another acti%it". Acti%it" elements contain the same in!ormation as acti%ities.Three categories o! acti%it" elements in the Pro#ect S"stem:

'ork elements .&ternal .lements (eneral Cost .lements

Acti*ity Type
ItAs a ph"sical meas re o! acti%it" o tp t o! a cost center .e.g. ho rs6 n mber o! nits prod ced6 machine times6 prod ction times.

+ilestones
Milestones are the e%ents in the pro#ect to which partic lar importance is attached Or which trigger prede!ined ! nctions. In general the" indicate transition between di!!erent departments or phases. Milestones are assigned to acti%ities and '<S elements:In PS milestones are sed to:

Trigger prede!ined ! nctions in network acti%ities. Carr" o t earned %al e anal"sis. >etermine dates in billing plan !or sales orders.

Relations,ips
=o se relationships to depict chronological and technical dependencies between acti%ities. The relationship determines the nat re o! the link between the indi%id al acti%ities. :

@S -elationship : An acti%it" does not start ntil the preceding acti%it" is completed. SS -elationship : An acti%it" can not start nless another acti%it" has started. @@ -elationship : An acti%it" can not be completed ntil another acti%it" has been completed. S@ -elationship : An acti%it" can not be completed ntil another s cceeding acti%it" has stared.

Con irmations
It is a part o! network control. It doc ments the state o! processing !or the network acti%ities and acti%it" elements. There are two t"pes o! con!irmations Partial ? @inal.Con!irmations are sed to record:

The work center where the acti%it" was carried o t. The person who carried o t this acti%it".

The "ield and scrap prod ced in an acti%it". The act al %al es !or the d ration and dates.

Settlement
As a r le6 pro#ects are sed to collect and monitor costs6 b t are not s all" the !inal cost ob#ect. @or this reason the costs in at"pical pro#ect will be settled at the end o! the period.To this end6 "o store settlement r les in the acti%it" / '<S element re$ iring settlement. The" contain in!ormation on settlement recei%ers6 cost apportionment and control data. Settlement recei%ers co ld be cost centers6 (/C acco nts. .tc.

($d"et
The b dget is the appro%ed cost str ct re !or an action or pro#ect in a partic lar period.< dgeting di!!ers !rom cost plan in that it is binding. In the appro%al phase "o prescribe "o r pro#ect ! nds in the !orm o! b dget. It is possible to allocate o%erall and ann al b dget in parallel.

&or' Centers
'ork center represents the reso rces responsible !or e&ec ting an acti%it". In a work center6 "o can enter the a%ailable capacit" and an operating time. =o can arrange the work centers in a hierarch" !or capacit" e%al ation p rposes. Internal acti%ities are assigned to work centers 9reso rces: to be completed.A work center is a ph"sical nit within a compan" where an acti%it" is per!ormed.

Pro it Center
It is s bdi%ision o! b siness organi;ation which is set p !or internal management control p rposes. Pro!it centers di%ide b siness p on a management basis. The basic aim o! pro!it center acco nting is to present areas o! the b siness as entities operating independentl" in the market. Lots of jargons .let me site an instance of the construction project of a building.. Cet sa" there is a constr ction compan" that is going to constr ct a M lti-Store" b ilding. The !irst thing that needs to be created in the s"stem is

!or this pro#ect will come assigned and get appro%ed !or the pro#ect. Pro#ect timeline needs to be decided. Pro#ect co ld be then s bdi%ided into separate parts which are act all" '<S elements:

Project Definition. The entire acti%it" plan nder this pro#ect de!inition. Overall budget needs to be estimated6 WBS elements
lets sa" in this e.g. we ha%e * main

3. $and Ac%uisition 2. Procurement 7. &onstruction *. 'eneral

To e%er" abo%e '<S6 b dget and time line need to estimated. /ow to take an e&ample we will drill down two '<S elements namel" Land Ac-$isition and Constr$ction. - Land Ac-$isition co ld be s b di%ided into acti%ities as in

'eneration of re%uest document for the land. Soil testing A roval for construction Pre aration of urchase order of the land

Abo%e * acti%ities sho ld be done in se$ ence. As in second acti%it" will start onl" a!ter re$ est doc ment !or the land is completed and so on. Dence these acti%ities ha%e /S Relations,ip between them. - /ow take '<S element Constr$ction. It co ld be s b di%ided in to !loor wise tasks. Cet sa"6 we ha%e !o r stor" b ilding and each !loor has * !lats.

onstruction1 we ma" create separate sub WBS element !or each !loor. .ach s b '<S element o! !loor ma" be di%ided ! rther into last level of WBS elements one !or each !lat on the !loor. This wa" we will ha%e hierarch! of the WBS elements.@inall"
So nder '<S element 0 last le%el o! '<S elements i.e. '<S elements o! the !lats will ha%e acti%ities like

3. Plumbing 2. (lectrical wor) 7. #looring *. Painting 8. #urniture

These acti%ities !orm the /etwork. Cet sa" Pl mbing and .lectricit" work are the

e"ternal activities as the" are gi%en to a o

contractor. 'hile the other acti%ities are done b" compan" labor so the" are internal activities. Pl mbing and .lectrical work co ld be started sim ltaneo sl".'hile !looring needs be done once the pl mbing and .lectrical work is complete. Dence the" ha%e @S relationship and so onE. /ow i! we talk abo t

milestones:
3. 2. 7. *.

#irst milestone could be urchasing the land Second could construct the base of the building. Third could be construct the floors #ourth could be com letion of lumbing and electrical wor) for all the flats. And so on*.

As I ha%e said that &or' center represents the reso rces responsible !or e&ec ting an acti%it" @or the abo%e acti%ities6 work centers co ld be the compan" labor re$ ired !or the constr ction6 labor pro%ided b" the e&ternal ser%ice center !or pl mbing and .lectricit" work. while Pro it Centers co ld be the !inall" constr cted !lats.
