Purpose
Both large scale projects, such as building a factory, and small-scale projects, such as organizing a trade fair,
require precise planning of the many detailed activities involved. The project manager has the job of ensuring that
the project is executed efficiently, on time, and within budget - which he or she achieves by ensuring that the
required resources and funds are available as and when needed.
Projects are generally part of the internal processes of a company. To be able to control all tasks in project
execution, you need an organizational form that is specific to the project and which is shared by all departments
involved. Before you can carry out a project in its entirety, the project goals must be precisely described and the
project activities to be carried out must be structured. A clear, unambiguous project structure is the basis for
successful project planning, monitoring, and control.
You structure your project per the following points of view:
o By structures, using a work breakdown structure (WBS)
o By process, using individual activities (work packages)
o Project managers usually distinguish between two types of project:
o Externally financed projects
o Customer projects
o Internally financed projects
o Overhead cost projects
o Capital investment projects
o For further information on capital investment projects, see the SAP Library under Investment
Management (IM) .
Integration
The high degree of integration between the Project System (PS) and other application components means that you
can plan, execute, and account for projects as part of your normal commercial procedures. This means the Project
System has constant access to data in all the departments involved in the project.
Project system is closely integrated with other SAP modules like logistics, material management, Sales and
Distribution, Plant Maintenance, and Production planning module.
The integration between SAP Project System PS with SAP S4hana Core application modules allows you to design,
plan, and execute the projects as part of your normal project procedure. Hence, Project System module has the
constant data access to all the departments involved in the project.
Finance and Controlling Module − To plan the costs and revenue in the project system as per the financial planning
requirements.
Material Management MM − To manage procurement and inventory functions occurring in project lifecycle.
Sales and Distribution Module − To manage the sales process in project lifecycle- includes quotations for customer
projects. This includes billing, selling, and shipping of goods and services required in project lifecycle.
Production Planning − To perform activities like material requirement planning MRP, Bills of material BOM,
material requisition as per MRP, capacity planning, and other production planning tasks in project lifecycle.
In the following diagram, you can see SAP Project System is integrated with SAP R/3 modules during project
lifecycle.
Features
The Project System guarantees close and constant monitoring of all aspects of your project.
This includes both technical and commercial aspects of the project.
Applications:
Vendor Master Data: The SAP provides the function to maintain the information about external
suppliers that specifically relate to purchasing. Vendor master data comprises three areas; General data,
Company code data and Purchasing data; including the vendor’s name and address, the currency the
vendor uses, Terms of payment, Names of important contact persons, and the vendor number (stored in
the SAP system as an account number), and accounting information.
Request for quotation and quotation: In SAP-MM RFQ and quotation component manages and
compares requests for quotation (RFQs) issued to vendors and the quotations submitted by the latter in
response to them. In situation in which an RFQ has been issued to several vendors, the component
determines the most favorable quotation submitted and automatically generates letters of rejection to
the unsuccessful bidders.
Purchase order: The MM-purchase order component is provided for a variety of procurement purposes
upon which materials can be procured for direct consumption or for stock, and procure services.
Furthermore, the special procurement types "subcontracting", "third-party", and "consignment" are
possible. The purchase orders is used to cover the enterprise requirements from external sources
whether a vendor supplies a material or performs a service. Furthermore, MM-PO is provided to procure
a material for one of your plants from an internal source, i.e. from another plant which is called Stock
Transport order. All steps of procurement process can be monitored in the MM-PO component (such as
the receipt of goods and invoices).
Outline Purchase Agreement: SAP’s outline purchase agreement is presented to handle a longer-term
agreement between a purchasing organization and a vendor regarding the supply of materials or the
performance of services within a certain period. Outline Purchase Agreement enables you to
predetermine terms and conditions. In Purchasing function, Outline Agreement is classified into
Contracts (Centrally agreed contracts, distributed contracts), and Scheduling agreements (Scheduling
agreement referencing a centrally agreed contract.
Vendor evaluation: The SAP system database contains information about the vendors that supply an
enterprise and information such as delivery dates, prices, and quantities can be taken from the
Materials Management components, and the results of incoming inspections or quality audits from the
Quality Management components. Based upon the SAP’s database, the Vendor Evaluation component
provides the accurate information on prices, and terms of payment and delivery, and improves the
enterprise's competitiveness. Furthermore, Vendor Evaluation is applied to measure the reliability of the
vendors whom provides services on a plant whether the vendors perform the services within the
specified timeframes and appraise the quality of the work carried out.
Down Payment and Down Payment Request: Depending on the contractual agreement with your
vendor, you can determine a suitable down payment category in the purchase order accompanied by
the down payment amount or a percentage and a due date. Both Logistics Invoice Verification and
Financial Accounting component can be used to clear down payments. If you perform down payment
clearing in logistics invoice verification, when you enter an incoming invoice for a purchase order, the
system proposes all down payments that have been posted with reference to the purchase order and
that are not yet completely cleared, for down payment clearing. The system posts the down payment
clearing document together with the invoice document. If you want to clear down payments in financial
accounting instead of logistics invoice verification, the down payment clearing is posted with reference
to the purchase order and the invoices already posted. During the payment run, the system offsets the
down payment made against the invoices.
Consignment Procurement: In consignment processing, materials are procured and stored on your
premises while the legal owner of the material is the vendor till withdrawing materials from the
consignment stores. In Consignment Procurement, the vendor invoice must be immediately issued after
you withdraw materials from the consignment stores into your stock or for consumption.
Return to vendor: If you have received materials from external vendor which are spoiled, broken or of
inferior quality/damaged and you have to send it back to vendor. Applying return corrects a goods
receipt and issues a credit memo against the vendor which it takes into account in Invoice verification. In
this case, return to vendor process is executed upon with/without Delivery. SAP-MM enables you to
post Return goods to vendor with/without reference to purchasing Documents, i.e. a purchase order.
Intercompany process: Increasingly trend towards globalization and the rapid increase in the number of
company mergers are considerably effected on internal financial and logistical processes within
corporate groups. In this situation, a plant which is actually a member of the same corporate group may
procure components from a supplier that, despite legally and technically belonging to a different
company. In the procuring plant, an ordering process is completely carried out from supplying plant as a
vendor. Upon such process, Intercompany stock transfer order, you can achieve a complete price
determination process, monitor delivery of the goods, and use the vendor confirmations (which may or
may not be MRP-relevant). In the supplying plant, you can also process a complete sales order
processing cycle including order entry (with the receiving plant as the customer), a sales-side price
determination function, delivery and billing options, and monitoring of the document flow.
Inventory Management: The SAP’s inventory management represents material stock management on a
quantity and value basis, planning, entry, and documentation of all goods movements, and carrying out
the Physical Inventory. SAP-IM implementation enables you to track the current stock situation of any
given material at any time, and to manage various types of a company’s own special stocks and
externally owned special stocks separately from standard stock. All goods movements including
"external" movements (goods receipts from external procurement, goods issues for sales orders) and
"internal" movements (goods receipts from production, withdrawals of material for internal purposes,
stock transfers, and transfer postings) automatically update quantity and value for Inventory
Management, account assignment for cost accounting, G/L accounts for financial accounting via
automatic account assignment.
Goods Movement: Goods receipt, goods issue, stock transfer, stock posting as goods movement update
quantities and values in SAP-MM-IM. The receipt of goods from an external vendor or from production
as goods receipt (GR) leads to an increase in warehouse stock. Based upon SAP-IM, you can accomplish
Goods receipt with/without references document such as reservation, or an order. A material
withdrawal or material issue, a material consumption, or a shipment of goods to a customer as goods
issue (GI) leads to a reduction in warehouse stock. Such goods movement leads to update quantities and
value of stock.
Stock Transfer and Transfer Posting: The removal of material from one storage location and replace into
another storage location as Stock transfer can be carried out either within the same plant or between
two plants. And, a transfer posting as a general term for stock transfers changes stock type or stock
category of a material, i.e. Transfer postings from material to material, Release from quality inspection
stock, Transfer of consignment material into company's own stock. In SAP-IM, Stock transfer can carry
out upon three different procedures as follows:
o Stock transfer via stock transfer posting using the one-step procedure,
o Stock transfer via stock transfer posting using the two-step procedure,
o Stock transfer using a stock transport order.
External service procurement: MM External Services Management function supports the complete cycle
of vendor invitation, award/order placement phase, and acceptance of services, as well as the invoice
verification process. MM External Services Management is completely integrated into the MM system
with providing the purchasing documents in which service specifications for a concrete procurement
project are entered. The External Services Management component as also integrated to the SAP
modules Plant Maintenance and Project System upon which purchase requisition is created for external
services within the framework of maintenance measures or a project and then transmitted to
Purchasing without incurring additional data maintenance work.
Benefits:
SAP-MM’s fully integration with Financial Accounting, Quality Management, Sales Distribution,
Logistic Execution, Plant Maintenance and Project System provides subsequently default data
for the purchasing documents and other following documents.
SAP-MM integration with other modules leads to reduce data entry and user errors.
Business flow integration in Material Management function facilitates purchasing process and
monitoring followed documents from creating purchase requisition document till invoice
