PS module and SD Module are integrated?

Question

Dear All,
How is the PS module and SD Module are integrated?
I am thinking  the linjk is only through the WBS element .please guide me if am wrong.
But I am not able to get the data flow across these two modules.
Is there any other setting to be done in the IMG ?
My client scenario needs a close interaction(flow) of data from PS to SD
I am trying to establish this llink through DIP profile and RRB .As i am not familiar
either with DIP Profile or with RRB.In these circumstances i seek your help.
Rewards are assured for timely & valuable help.
Thanking you,
Best Regards,
R.Srinivasan

Hi Ramanujam,
Please find below the complete stuff reg PS integration with SD Module:
SD INTGRATON WITH PS (Project Systems)
PS SD integration happens during Milestone billing...
Below is whole process-
Billing Plan for Milestone Billing
Milestone billing means distributing the total amount to be billed over multiple billing
dates in the billing plan.
As each milestone is successfully reached, the customer is billed either a percentage of
the entire project cost or simply a pre-defined amount.
During sales order processing, the system determines from the item category whether a
billing plan is required and, if so, which type of plan
The type of billing plan that is determined at this point is set up in Customizing and
cannot be changed in the sales document.
Billing plans for periodic billing and milestone billing plans for project-related milestone
billing have different overview screens so that you can enter data relevant to your
processing.
For example, for milestone billing, you must be able to enter data to identify the
individual milestones.
IMG configuration requires:-
1. Maintain billing plan types for milestone billing in OVBO.
2. Define date description in SM30 - V_TVTB.
3. Maintain Date Category for Billing Plan Type IN OVBJ.
4. Allocate date category in SM30 - V_TFPLA_TY.
5. Maintain date proposal for Billing Plan Type in OVBM.
6. Assign Billing Plan Type to Sales Documents Type in OVBP.
7. Assign Billing Plan Type to Item Categories in OVBR.
8. Define rules for determining the date in OVBS.
Milestone billing is typically used for billing projects, such as plant engineering and
construction projects. Such projects often include a series of milestones that mark the
completion of different stages of the work. In the SAP R/3 System, milestones are defined
in a network along with planned and actual dates for the completion of work. The milestones
are also assigned to the billing dates in the billing plan.
Each milestone-related billing date is blocked for processing until the Project System
confirms that the milestone is completed.
Delivery-relevant order items for which a milestone billing plan applies are billed on the
basis of the requested delivery quantity and not on the total of the confirmed quantities.
The connection between the project and the sales document item is made in the individual
schedule lines of the item. Each schedule item can be assigned to a network in a project.
To display the project-related data for a schedule line, proceed as follows:
In one of the overview screens of the sales document, select
1. Item -> Schedule lines.
2. Mark the schedule line and select Procurement details.
The following figure shows an example of milestone billing where only the Contract have
been billed :
Order Item Turbine 100,000
Billing Plan
Billing date Description % Value Billing Block Milestone Billing Status
01-10-94 Contract 10 10,000 - x x
01-03-95 Assembly 30 30,000 x x
01-04-95 Maintenance 30 30,000 x x
01-05-95 Acceptance 30 30,000 x x
01-06-95 Final invoice .. .. x
Network/Activities
Milestone Estimate Actual
Assembly 01-03-95 01-03-95
Maintenance 01-04-95
Acceptance 01-05-95
For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing
date is:
1. fixed
2. Always updated with the actual date of the milestone
3. Updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the
planned billing date for the date
Following is the SD & PS integration scenarios where milestone billing & Periodic billing plays the important role for these integration:

PS-SD Integration as below:
A) Billing plan, at each WBS element, network and Activity level.
B)DIP profile which is assigend to item category. DIP for resource related quotation works only with ECP ( easy cost planning).
C)sales pricing - generally, there r 2 types of sales pricing in PS . lumpsum contract and unit rate contract.
D)BOS - bill of Services. which has to be activated. It is industry specific solution. If BOS is activated you also have integration for vendor RFQ and Analysis.
Further pls provide ME ur mail id , will mail some zip files regarding integration of SD module with all other module including PS.
Project System(PS) works for any project e.g construction, operation or any large projects where project management tools are required. it integrates all modules may be like MM for vendor process or for RFQ etc or say may be SD for Resource related quotation with the help of DIP profile or Milestone process etc. IT is largely used in construction projects. IT helps in controlling the whole of project from one single screen and it works with 3 elements WBS element ( work break down structure), Network and Activity.
