Lesson OverviewThis lesson gives you a brief overview of the characteristics and phases typical to a
project, and of the SAP tools that are available specially for program and project
management. It introduces networks and work breakdown structures, which are used
in SAP Project System (SAP PS) for mapping projects. Both of these structures, as
well as basic functions and processes of SAP PS, are described in this course using
two sample projects. The business examples for these two projects are introduced
in this lesson.
Lesson Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
• Explain the characteristics of projects
• Differentiate between the main tasks of SAP PS, cProjects, and SAP xApp
Resource and Portfolio Management (SAP xRPM)
• Name the two structures used in SAP PS
• Describe the project examples used in this course
Business Example
Two typical projects are used in this course to illustrate the functions of SAP PS.
“Elevator E-99##” is a typical investment project and is an example of a project that is
mapped using only a work breakdown structure. “Turbine System T-200##” is a sales project and is used to explain activities and networks. More information on these two
example projects is provided in this lesson.
Introduction
Both large-scale projects, such as constructing a factory, and smaller projects, such
as organizing a trade fair, require the numerous activities involved to be planned,
controlled and monitored precisely, systematically, and efficiently. Professional
project management is becoming an increasingly important factor for boosting the
competitive strength of companies, and not just for those whose success is based on
project-oriented business processes. A “project” is an undertaking that a company
carries out, characterized by the uniqueness of its general conditions and constraints.These conditions include the objectives of the project, the time frame for executing
it, as well as financial and capacity-related restrictions. Projects usually involve
cross-departmental and highly complex business processes, the results of which must
Figure 2: Program Management and Project Management
The two structures provided by SAP PS for mapping projects are work breakdown
structures and networks. You use a work breakdown structure to organize a project in
the form of a hierarchy, and so map the structure of the project. Networks, on the other
hand, are used to represent the individual project activities together with their temporal
and logical relationships, in other words, the flow of the project. You can map a
project using just one work breakdown structure or one network. However, you can
also illustrate a project using a work breakdown structure and one or more networks in
order to use the characteristics of both structures together. Work breakdown structures
consist of work breakdown structure elements (WBS elements) that are arranged at
various levels to produce a hierarchical model of the project activities to be carried
out. Each individual WBS element can act as a controlling object in which you can
plan and monitor costs, revenues, payments, budgets, and dates. A network represents
the flow of a project. The individual tasks in the project are mapped as activities in a
network. The temporal and logical dependencies between the various activities can
be represented as links, also known as relationships. Activities form the operative
basis for planning and controlling dates, costs, and resources (personnel, machinery,materials). When activities are assigned to WBS elements, the dates and costs defined
in the individual activities are totaled up (aggregated) at the WBS level, and can
be evaluated. Activity funds already assigned are checked against the budgets of
Schedule Manager are tools in the SAP system that are used here to perform the
various steps. In addition to these tools, this course introduces you to a range of
reports and information systems that you can use to evaluate the project data during
the various project phases.
Project T-200## is used in this course as an example of a sales project that is mapped
in the SAP system with a work breakdown structure and a network. The starting
point for creating and executing the project in this business example is a customer
inquiry and, later on, a sales order for constructing a turbine system. In addition toControlling-related aspects for developing and constructing the turbine system, it is
also important to consider a number of logistical requirements (on-time material
procur ement, availability of capacity). The network acts as a quantity structure for
planning dates, costs, resources, and material requirements automatically.
Task 2: Language Settings (to be carried out byinstructor; only for courses not held in German)
German is set as the original language for master data in the IDES systems. For courses held in other languages, the master data short texts need to be switched
to those languages.
Hint: The example shows the texts being converted to English (EN). No
changes need to be made for courses held in German.
1. Set the short texts for standard networks and standard projects to EN using
transaction YILA. Use text pools ZT-TRAIN-PS-01, ZT-TRAIN-PS-02
and ZT-TRAINING-PS-03.
a) Call up transaction YILA. If necessary, confirm the dialog box with the
message on the language switch. Enter the following data in the lower
section of the screen (Selection: Textpool ):
Field Value
Target Language EN
Text Pool ZT-TRAIN-PS-01
Select Update Short Texts.
Update the texts in text pools ZT-TRAIN-PS-02 and ZT-TRAINING-PS-03
in the same way.
2. Set the language for vendor 1000 to the required language (in our example,
English). Use transaction XK02 to change the vendor data.
a) Call up transaction XK02. Enter the following data on the initial screen:
Field Value
Vendor 1000
Company Code 1000
Purchasing Organization 1000
Address x
Confirm your entries with Enter . In the Language field, choose English
