Interface between Microsoft Project and SAP Project Systems

Hi,
When we update SAP Project systems from Microsoft Project, our users want to swap values between project nodes id and description. Is this possible? Which BAPIs are used by OpenPs? I am trying to find a user-exit where I can swap these values.
Thanks in advance.

Difference between SAP cProjects and SAP Project System

Hi,
SAP already has a solution PS ( Project System ) for managing the projects in an Organization.
When there is a solution already existing then why did SAP come up with a new solution cProjects ?
Can any help me in understanding the main differences and advantages between cProjects and PS ?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Priyatham

Hi.
I have copied an SAP text below which sets PS, cProjects, (x)RPM and PPM into context.
In the ninties, the Project System was developed within SAP R/3 to provide a powerful application with full integration into logistics and financials.
Target groups were industries such as engineering and construction, automotive, high tech or utilities with focus on project manufacturing or large maintenance projects.
Later on, the need for more flexible and easy-to-use tools supporting the new process methodologies, phased-based approaches, quality gates, and so on, emerged. SAP developed Collaboration Projects and Collaboration Folders (cProjects Suite), which takes these new requirements into account and provides extensive features to collaborate with internal and external partners using a HTML-like interface and Web Application Server technology.
Thus, cProjects was able to address to a broader range of industries, such as service providers, offering a high degree of visibility and flexibility to support various scenarios from product development to consulting projects. Nevertheless, cProjects is seen as a complementary product to Project System, not as ist successor!
It always depends on the scenario that a customer wants to cover, which application is the best choice.
As another matter of fact, combinations of both are also possible.
In addition to this, the new generation of composite applications was born and SAP xApp for Resource and Portfolio Management provides excellent capabilities to align operational project management with strategic portfolio management.
The latest developments bring all these three applications tighter together and offers a comprehensive solution for project and portfolio management by covering logistical, financial and human resource aspects and addressing the needs of all stakeholders throughout the entire organisation.
However, xRPM capabilities are not only restricted to project portfolios but can be leveraged to control all kind of portfolio items.

Diff between 0PS_C02 and 0PS_C021(project system cubes)

Hello experts,
Please let me know the difference between above cubes for project systems in terms one says 'Dates(Identification Using External ID)' and the second one says 'Dates(Identification using GUID)'
Regards
Shanthi

0PS_C02 - Dates(Identification Using External ID)
0PS_C021 - Dates(Identification using GUID)
Difference is - In New Content 0PS_C021 BW Can uniquely identify a PS Object using GUID which cannot be changed as External ID which was changeable.
"As of BI Content 3.5.3 Add-On SP2, the Business Content for the Project System (PS) has been redesigned so that an SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) system can uniquely identify a PS object (for example, a project definition or a WBS element) using the object's GUID instead of its external ID. The advantage of using the GUID is that it cannot be changed in an SAP system, whereas the external ID can be changed. Previously, if a user changed the external ID of an existing PS object in an SAP system and then uploaded the object to SAP BW, the SAP BW system would create new records for this object instead of updating the existing records. Using the GUID therefore improves the consistency and correctness of reporting in SAP BW for the Project System. "

Hello Experts,

Order confirms than sales order and project will create
material of BOM is assigned to any activity in project so these material (RM) will be procured and consumed
assign activity for all work done on material to produce FG or SFG.
confirm activity whenever any work done like fabrication done so confirm and its cost comes to WBS.
than we have to subcontracting process so dispach SFG from this and receive after activity done by third party.
than more work is done and confirm these activity. than after all work done we get FG in stock. than delivery from project.
We are facing issue in above business process of our client as below:
1. process of subcontracting using project system as we are not using production planning. how we get any SFG for subcontracting process.
2. if we confirm all activities and consume all Raw Materials than how we will get finished good in our project stock for delivery.
3. after delivery from project how sales order affects with regards to completeness of this sales document.
Please help for this.
Note: Remember we are not using PP cos customer require detailed report of these process and capacity planning etc.
Thanks
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Assume this is my project structure & attached components. I will procure this components externally. After GRN, This components will be issued to network with 581 Q movement type.
Now we need to assemble this raw material to produce our FG, As these SFG are in our project stock. What we need to do for assembly process through PS.
Also throw some light over benefit of using PS-BOM interface ( CN33 ) for attaching material components.
Project

How to integrate sap bw and sap pi system

Hi all,
I am doing interface to integrate SAP BW and SAP PI syetms .here i want to send data from SAP BW infocube to pi after that i need to send the data sap apo system.sap bw and sap pi intergration part is pending so how integrate these two systems and how to send data from infocube i am not clear abt process.i came to know tht do with proxy.but process i dont know clearly.
Can anyone tell me the process to integration process and any outbound sap bw to pi scenario blogs are information is very helpful.
Thanks
SG

>> Can anyone tell me the process to integration process and any outbound sap bw to pi scenario blogs are information is very helpful
Basically you need to use client proxy.
A) Create data type , mesg typ, service inteface, message mapping and interface mapping as usual in ESR
B) In Integration Directory, YOu dont need sender communication channel and sender agreement. Because you are using client proxy. rest are all same
C) You need to do proxy configuration between SAP BW and PI to establish connection
Note: PI to sap apo system communication is already known. Then in PI target message follow that system structure in ESB and use the supported adapter for that system in Integration Directory.
Hope this helps

SAP AFS and SAP ECC

Hi,
As I understand AFS offers additional functionalities required for Apparel industry but does it take away or restricts standard ECC functionalities.
What If an organization is into 2 businesses i.e. Garments and FMCG, can they still go ahead and use SAP AFS for both businesses? Is there an impact on Master data, logistics related processes, Financial reporting etc?
Business processes and dynamics in terms of planning, transactions and reporting are quite different for Apparel and FMCG businesses. I am new to AFS and would request experts to guide me on such a solution proposal.
Please share your views.
Thank You
Manish

Hello Vishal,
Thanks for the information.
What about version management of ECC and AFS? I mean with release on a new enhancement pack of ECC, certain new business functionalities are offered...but with AFS being active, will it not mean that the customer has to wait till the add-on of AFS is also made compatible?
Just the way you mentioned about PP-PI issue... are there any other business functionalities that get impacted? I did come across a message posted where it is stated that free goods functionality is not available with AFS being activated.
Is there any official document from SAP on how AFS activation restricts ECC functionalities...like the one of PP-PI you mentioned?
Thanks
Manish

SAP Project Systems

HI Every One.. I am a new entrant in this field, kindly suggest me as to what are the prerequisites necessary i.e. basic clarifications i should have before i move to implementation at the client side..
Thank you

Hi Vinayak,
The base for the blue print is the out come AS-IS TO-BE study. You have to identify the application of PS in that company and accordingly you have to map it to SAP. I can give you some insight.
Buying a new asset like machinery. This process can be implemented in PS as a project with WBS elements. Activity starts in FICO(releasing the budget) and executed in PS, finally handed over to production department. I just wrote in 2 lines, but the whole process involves lot of activities. It depends on the requirement.
Another example can be construction company, where PS can be used extensively for each and every construction projects with many structures.
If you can tell me the business process then I could explain about te integration with other modules. It entirely depends on how we are going to use it.
I dont have any readymade document with me now, but will try to find.
Hope this helps,
WR,
Sanjeev

Issue with user mapping and SAP reference system

Hello Gurus,
I have this strange system behaviour when preparing my system for single sign-on using user mapping.
Case 1.
In the user management property category, I have the following defined.
Authentication Ticket Type - SAP Logon Ticket
Logon Method - UIDPW
User Mapping Fields -
User Mapping Type - admin, user
In the alias editor, I defined the default alias as SAP_PRD
Result= when I go to identity management to assign the reference system (the default alias - SAP_PRD)...I do not see the system alias there.
Case 2:
In the user management property category, I have the following defined
Authentication Ticket Type - SAP Logon Ticket
Logon Method - SAPLOGONTICKET
User Mapping Fields -
User Mapping Type - admin, user
In the alias editor, I defined the default alias as SAP_DEV
Result, when I go to the identity management to assign the refernce system (the default alias - SAP_DEV), I see it there.
What might be my issue? Does it mean I can't assign SAP reference if I am using UIDPW as logon method?
Please help me.

Hi Mahesh,
Thanks for the feedback. I am relatively new to EP...so please I won't mind if you can guide me on how to go about this.
This is what I did...
I chose System Administration > Permissions
In the PCD, I located my system with the alias, SAP_PRD
It opened up the permission assignment area.
Now I have these permissions set
Administrator - Full Control
Administrators - Full control
com.sap.caf.eu.gp.roles.superuser - Full control
Everyone (built in group) - Full control
Everyone (Everyone role)- Full control
super_admin_role - Owner
For all the above End User box is checked.
I can't find anyone end user group .
Once I pick UIDPW, the alias disapperars from the reference system list.
Please help.

Can different working calendars be set and used in Project system

Actually we are going through implementation of SAP Project system, i would like to ask whether there is an option in SAP PS to set different working/factory calendars and use them for individual activity like Primavera. Because at some places there is 5 days working and at places 6 says working. Also holidays are different for different people/places. A uniform calendar for all activities can spoil the schedule of project in regard of planned finish dates when one enters a certain duration.
Kindly clarify this for me
Regards.

Hi Abdul,
As a reference, go through this thread,
Factors Influencing Scheduling - Dates - SAP Library
In addition to this and as mentioned above by Saurabh, there are some good threads available that talk about this. The threads carry a good amount of information and am sure it will help you.
Please search the forum.
Best Regards,
Gokul
