Good morning everyone, so now we will discuss the progress presentation of PS module

PS Overview:

1. It is a sap management solution, that offers a large panel of functionalities...

2. It is Integrated with finance and logistic modules like …

3. In PS module we work with 3 types of projects:

 External Financed Projects − This includes the projects which are sponsored by clients and
are executed to meet the client requirements. These projects are called customer projects
and project goal is aligned to meet the customer demand.
 Internal Financed Projects − This includes capital project related to an investment that will
generate a benefit in the long term or overhead cost projects.

4. Before being able to use SAP Project Systems functionalities, we should start with the
structure.

So, we have two choices:

WBS: hierarchical model, map the structure (assign: costs, revenues, payment, schedule,
budget)

Network: link activities together, map the flow of a project (assign: dates, costs, resources)
Relationships between activities: SS, SF, FS, FF (S=start, F=finish)

And we can use only wbs or network, or 1wbs and networks.

5. I have worked on GBI case study to edit a complete project planning process.

We start by creating the project with WBS elements,

Then changing it by creating all the elements: activities (internal and external and also costs)

Then we create the relationships between activities to have a network

After that we assign milestones to represent ither we achieved a mission or not.

Then we release the project so the system status change from CRDT to REL when we could post
costs.

Reporting

you can analyze the project structure as well as dates, costs and revenues (plan and actuals)
The structure information system does not only display data, but you can edit the project from
there or post activity confirmations.

Scheduling: Gantt chart, which is particularly useful for the planning of dates and resources.

Then we create an invoice creditor using FI module

But for the GBI case study everything was already configurated, so for more practice I create another
example which is this one, to start the process from biggening but with more details.
So, I ve create all the element and also the network
Also, in this example I have learned how to add material to activities
Material:  
 The link between PS and PP MM SD modules 
 We add material to activities 
 We create purchase requisition from that material 
 We use materials to caring out an activity or produce a product  
 Types: N (non-stock items, PR), L (stock items, Reservation) 

The purchasing process from PR to delivery using other modules transactions.

And I tried to understand all important / the main indicators in each element like:

Mask ID, grouping WBS elements, project profile, project summarization

Than For the cost planning we have several types

1. Overall planning:

when you enter costs manually for each WBS element, edit => total up, simplest type,

Transaction: CJ40, and you can use 4 views to display it.

It is a hierarchical cost planning: we add cost (cost plan) to 2nd level of WBS elements, for
the first level we use total up. And with the top down it will be applicable to the down level
WBS elements. It covers primary costs (material, Ext actv), activity inputs (int actv),

2. Detailed planning:

We use it when we have more details available, it is independent of project scheduling, use
it for projects that you will not need to postpone (reporter, ta2jil)

To produce a post plan per WBS element. If information on source, quantities, and prices is
available.

The costs are planned for each material and Ext and int activity.

And it exists also: … that I will discover them in details

3. Unit costing:
4. Easy cost planning:

Automatic cost planning:
