1. Project System Structure

Planning of all activities in detail is an essential process in any

project irrespective of its size and volume. Right Project planning helps to ensure the completion of project at right

time with right amount cost involved.

It is also essential to know the amount of resource and funds

required to execute the project and also the timings of its

requirement. In an organization many tasks like construction,

installation of large machinery etc.., are carried out as projects.

Project organization is a prime and foremost step in project

structuring. Project Organization in PS helps to

Plan the project

Monitor the project progress

Control the project progress

Projects can be structured based on

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element

Work package – with activities

From Finance point of view, each project is identified as

Externally financed project

Internally financed project

Project System Organization: -

Page 5: PS Configuration Overview - SAPHelp Configuration Overview ... complete SAP PS configuration pack to the SAP community. ... As you are aware that our SAP FICO, PP/QM , ...

Project system has got the following parameters.

Project definition

WBS element

Networks

Activities

The above discussed PS module elements are assigned to the

existing organizational units. I.e. these are assigned to the

existing controlling area, company code, business area, profit

center and plant.

In short we can say that there is no independent org structure

for PS module like SD and MM. The PS parameters are

assigned to the existing organizational units at different levels.

Let us discuss the possible assignments of each PS elements

with existing org. structure.

Project Definition:

Project Definition is the process of defining the project with its

objective, Accounting information and logistic related

information.

Accounting information:-

Controlling Area

Company code Business Area

Plant

Location

Profit center

Currency

Budget profile

Interest calculation profile

Planning profile

Investment profile

Result Analysis key

Page 6: PS Configuration Overview - SAPHelp Configuration Overview ... complete SAP PS configuration pack to the SAP community. ... As you are aware that our SAP FICO, PP/QM , ...

Logistic information

Network profile

WBS Scheduling profile

Person responsible

Start & End date

Factory calendar

Time unit

WBS Element: -

WBS element is a master data used for projects. The usage of

WBS is

Organizes the project task in an order

Process planning, cost planning, capacity planning

Costing and controlling

To know the amount of work involved in a project

WBS is created with reference to the project definition. The

data maintained under project definitions are copied into WBS

WBS Accounting information:-

Currency – Copied from projection profile.

Can be changed only if company code

currency is different from controlling

area and there must NOT be any

budget, commitments exist for the

WBS element.

Company code

Business area

Profit center

Plant

Page 7: PS Configuration Overview - SAPHelp Configuration Overview ... complete SAP PS configuration pack to the SAP community. ... As you are aware that our SAP FICO, PP/QM , ...

Network: -

Network represents flow of task in a project. Tasks performed

with WBS such as planning, controlling etc. can be done with

network also. The structure of the network is similar to that of

production order and maintenance order.

Network can be assigned to

Project definition

WBS

Time sheet entry

Activities: -

Activities indicate the sequence of any process. Activities

contains

Duration

Start and finish

Requirement of resources

Cost requirements

Activities can be

Internally processed

Externally processed

Service related

General cost activities

Now let us see what is there in the configuration for PS

structure.

The project definition contains various profiles from costing

point of view. We shall start from WBS structure.
