Hello Everyone,

A Ware Welcome To You All! We are really excited to offer the

complete SAP PS configuration pack to the SAP community. This
was a much- awaited pack and we are happy to present that to
you… As you are aware that our SAP FICO, PP/QM , SD, MM/WM
HR, and PM have already achieved the best selling status and have
received lots of accolades and really helped the consultants take
their SAP knowledge and career to the next level …I am very
confident that PS configuration package will go a step forward and do
much more than that……….

For those who have been on our list and who have bought from us
earlier you all know that we have over-delivered on each of our
configuration packs and we want to do the same thing with SAP P S
config pack too… For those who have visited our site for the first
time I would like to welcome you to our site and promise you that
we would do our best to ensure that your life at the clients place would
be very comfortable…

What I have done here is given you a brief of around 69+ pages
of content in PS pack so that you can have a feel of what it would be
like in terms of structure. The whole pack is extremely voluminous,
step by step guide this is just a feeler… So I hope you enjoy this…. So
lets dive right in….
 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: -

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
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
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.
 Define Special Characters for Projects

BACKGROUND

This configuration setting enables to define how the project

number is coded for editing.

Following parameters are controlled in this setting to edit the

project number.

 Length of the key for project coding - Max. five

 Mandatory length of the project coding – whether all five
must be filled or not.
 Special characters allowed for entering WBS

SCENARIO

Field Name Value and Description of field
Length of key for coding of the project
definition and WBS elements.
Possible entries are

E.g.5 indicates maximum

It must be set carefully before creating any
projects.

We will proceed with 1 in our example.

Key used to specify project coding and
WBS element must of same length as it is
defined here.
E.g. Leave it blank not to restrict the length
of project coding and WBS element.
To help entering the WBS element in the
work break down structure, this special
key is defined.
E.g. Enter ". To enter a new WBS element
under WBS element, it is enough to enter "
and new number. E.g. say new number is
30, then system will maintain the number
with all prefixes and the number 30.
 Special character used to limit the
segments in the coding.
E.g. / to limit with the character / between
the segments.
Check in this tick box will allow only the
coded project numbers within the project
system.
E.g. tick the check box.
This field is used for automatic number
assignment.
