Hi Shesagiri,
The Project Estimator is a tool based on Microsoft Excel, the ASAP Roadmap,the SAP Reference Structure, and the Implementation Guide (IMG) and is used by SAP consultants to estimate the workload, schedules, and
costs of SAP R/3 implementation projects.
Use:SAP employees and consultants can perform project estimation using the Project Estimator in any phase of an SAP R/3 implementation project. The length of time
it takes to perform project estimation depends on how familiar the user is with the tool and with SAP R/3 implementation procedures, and on the level of detail at
which the user is expected to define the project parameters. An initial rough estimation can be completed in one to two hours. The results of project
estimation can be downloaded as data extracts or printed, so that the customer
can use them in presentations and executive reports.
The Project Estimator calculates:
  Workload and schedules, also known in the tool as ”effort and dates” (the
number of working days required for implementation tasks and estimated
start and end dates)
  Costs (internal/external – also by role)
  Resource requirements (internal/external)
  The allocation of resources for each project role
The above information is calculated for all the implementation project’s work
packages and phases.
Structure
The Project Estimator uses spreadsheet formulas and default values based on
typical implementation projects to convert the user’s input values into final result
values. The spreadsheet features the following types of tables:
  Results tables
These tables display calculated and aggregated results. The layout of the results is based on
the ASAP Roadmap and its phases and work packages.
  Factor tables
These are tables where the user defines and checks factors for the project in question.
  Component tables
These tables display the SAP Reference Structure including scenarios and processes,

master data and transaction data, and the ASAP Roadmap structure with its phases and
work packages.
  Other tables
These tables serve a number of purposes such as, for example, navigating within the
spreadsheet and calculating factors.
You perform project estimation in 4 steps:
1. You set the project scope using application factors.
2. You determine project, risk, and cost factors
3. You check the results as calculated by the tool and adjust them if necessary.
4. You enter general project data, print the project estimation results, and generate data
extracts.
The Project Estimator may only be used by SAP employees and consultants.
Customers and other third parties may not work with the tool or receive project
estimation results in any form other than the data extracts and printouts generated at
Step 4.
The Project Estimator is a tool. The user is responsible for the final results presented
to the customer.
Hope thgis helps. pls assign points.
