    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.

    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.
