Answer 1

Sanjay,
-->When u talk about scheduling of a project, the following functions are available and u need to make settings for whatever required by u:
Set of Dates,Check Dates,Inherit,Extrapolate,Shift,Planning Different Calenders,Scheduling,Planning Forms.!!
-->In projects with networks, you can use network scheduling to derive the dates of activities and WBS elements automatically.Each time a network is scheduled, the system carries out forward and backward scheduling and determines floats (if activated) and capacity requirements.
-->Scheduling Scenarios: 1.Botom-Up 2. Top-Down
So, now based on your requirements, u need to do the following settings in SPRO:
(A) Project System --> Dates --> Scheduling :
a)Define Scheduling Types
b)Define Time Units
c)Define Reduction Strategies
d)Specify Parameters for Network Scheduling
(B) Project System --> Dates --> Date Planning in WBS
a)Define Parameters for WBS Scheduling
Let me know, if this info is sufficient and close the thread if satisfied.
