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

  • 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.

    Hello Experts,
    please check our process as below:
    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

    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.

  • SAP PS & SAP Project Management

    Hi all of you,
    Can any one give me clarity on the available functionalities in SAP Project Systems and that of SAP Project Management. My requirement is, my client is using one Project Management tool, where can get all the project monitoring and as well as Project cost and revenue with Dashboards. I am implementing PS to take the accounting data from the tool, to get integration with FI,CO, SD, and MM. In their Project Management tool apart from the cost management, they have Change Management, defects management, test management, process templates, life cycle templates, project goals with specific and project performance monitoring like dashboards. Actually, I am taking the interface part like WBS, Planned cost, Schedules, Resource cost etc.. I am unable to take the non accounting data to SAP PS.
    My doubt is, can we implement SAP Project Management module to replace the tool, since in PS we have FI and CO data with schedules, for example. If I required the same things, non accounting data like Defects management track, change management, testing management, which SAP module we have to implement. More over, my client is also wish to discard the tool, if the same functionalities available in SAP.
    Please correct me, if I am wrong and also suggest me how we can get the same things in SAP.
    Thanks & Regards

    Identify the persons or groups responsible for variances Defend against claims from third parties who your business responsible for a variance
    Customizing is divided as follows:

    Claim Management screen format
    Claim partner
    Catalogs and report profile for the claim
    Priorities for the claim
    Claim-specific Customizing

    I have installed OpenPSMSP4 to interface MS Project 2007 SP2 with SAP Project System ECC 6.0. However the upload button is deactivated so i cannot transfer from MS Project to the SAP System.
    I have already created the role (SAP_PS_EPS) in PFCG and carried out the user maintenance in SU01 along with authorization for object S_RFC and S_USER_GRP but still the button remains deactivated.
    Kindly let me know if I need do something else in SAP.

    Try MS Project 2007 SP1 instead of SP2.
    This should solve the problem.

  • Project Systems - Inter company stock transport orders

    We are implementing SAP Project Systems module for our client as part of ECC 6.0 global roll out and we are looking for a solution to meet the with following business scenario:
    The sales company (CC : US01)  receives a purchase order for large project from an external customer. The sales company creates a sales order in SAP with delivering plant  that belongs to another legal entity ( CC : US02 and plant : USP2) that has the main engg.facility . Two projects ( WBS elements ) are created for the sales company and engg.company . WBS element 1 element is used to drive milestone billing for the external customer and WBS2 element is created to post revenues and costs for the main engg.company
    ( CC :US02). The main engg.company plant ( USP2) has to procure sub structures from another legal entity in the company ( CC :US03 and plant :USP3) . We are creating an inter company stock transport order from USP2 ( main engg.company ) on plant USP3. In standard SAP , the stock transport order carries WBS2 that belongs to purchasing plant. But the business requirement is to have their own WBS element for USP3 plant to capture costs and revenues. What's the best of way of meeting the above business requirement either through standard SAP configuraion or some user exists with manual process.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas from the experts !

  • Cost VS Time S Curve in Project Systems

    Hello,
    I have configured Project Systems Progress Analysis and I am able to see values in CNE5. In CNE5 I am able to extract graphs for each column (e.g BCWP,BCWS, SV, CI etc) through menu Goto -> Graphic -> Totals Curve, but the user requires a Cost Vs Time Earned Value Curve also known as the S-Curve. Is it possible to extract S-Curve,consisting of Schedule Var and Cost Var, in SAP Project Systems ?
    If it is then kindly let me know the procedure
    Thankyou

    I have found two options
    Option 1 :
    Go to CNE5 report,
    Then click on the description of WBS element or main WBS element. You will get Drill down report for Period Overview.
    Go to graphics icons and choose Period D Down. There you will get display for S-Curve
    Option 2:
    Go to CN41, select PD or WBSE...Goto>period breakdown...it will take u to new screen where u will have Periods in LHS and Plan cost, Actual costs, Budget etc., in RHS...then click on any column say Actual cost then goto>Graphic>Period Breakdown....U will see period in x-axis and Actual cost in Y-axis.
