SAP PS & SAP Project Management

Question

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
Ramki

Answer 1

you can use Claims available in SAP PS.
Transcript from SAP help:
Claims are used to:
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:
Notification Customizing
In this section, you stipulate the most important aspects of a claim, such as:
Claim Management screen format
Claim partner
Catalogs and report profile for the claim
Priorities for the claim
Claim-specific Customizing
Codes for detailed long texts
Activating workflows for the claim
I hope this is helpful.
