Automatcally create Project from Sales Order

Question

We are on SAP R/3 4.7. We are currently using Project system for customer projects. We are manually linking the WBS element to the sales order item.
We are considering to automatically creating project from sale order.
Can someone offer any suggestions or recommendations?
If you have already done in the past, did you encounter any issues or concerns that need to be considered?
Thank You

Hi,
As per standard configuration:
1.) Maintain requirement class in OVZG as 80
2) Maintain Requirement type in OVZH as KP and assign 80 there
3) Strategy in SPRO->Project System->material->Strategy and maintain requirment class and requirement type and account assignment there.
4).Then maintain strategy in strategy group...it would be same as 85.
5). Then you can maintain item category from SD side and item category group from MM and assign these item categories to SD document type .
6). Now create standard templates(Project and network activities and make assignment to standard project)
7). Create configurable material(Variant configurator) in MM01 as KMAT and maintain item category group as same defined above and maintain strategy group in MRP tab same as defined above.
8). Now assign these Variant configurator to standard network and projects in CN08.
Look into these setting would definately help you.
