To extrapolate the basic dates of subordinate WBS elements without taking into account the basic dates of higher-level WBS elements, you can use free planning as the planning method for basic dates. Free planning is a type of planning method for basic dates that allows you to plan dates for WBS elements without any restrictions or dependencies on other WBS elements. Free planning does not consider any hierarchical relationships between WBS elements when calculating their dates. Free planning gives you maximum flexibility and control over your date planning for WBS elements.

 To schedule both the network and the maintenance orders, you have to consider that the maintenance orders must be assigned to WBS elements. This means that you have to link the maintenance orders to WBS elements in your project structure using assignment objects. This way, you can ensure that the dates of the maintenance orders are synchronized with the dates of the WBS elements and the network activities. You can also use overall network scheduling to schedule several networks and maintenance orders together. Reference:https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_ON-PREMISE/4dd8cb7b1

Mass change (CNMASS) is a powerful tool that allows you to change multiple fields in multiple objects at once. You can use it to change fields in project definitions, WBS elements, networks, activities, milestones, and PRTs.”References: 3

A hierarchical report on budget updates is a standard report type that provides an overview of adjustments on the budget for WBS elements within your project. A hierarchical report on budget updates displays the budget values and changes for each WBS element in a hierarchical structure. You can use various selection criteria and display options to customize the report according to your needs. You can also access detailed information on individual budget values or changes by choosing drilldown functions.

The approval of a service entry sheet and the approval of a goods receipt are both transactions that can be used to post actual costs for external processing.”References: 3

Capacity requirements are the demand for capacities that result from planned or actual orders. If a work center is overloaded, it means that its capacity requirements exceed its available capacities. To reduce the overload of the work center, you can trigger automatic capacity leveling inside the project planning board, which is a tool that allows you to plan and monitor capacities for network activities. You can also shift activities backward or forward on the time axis where more capacities are available, which means changing their start and finish dates manually or automatically. Reference:https://help.sap.com/doc/0f069b2e08b748f1b480d4c8b46c3c49/100/en-US/6a7a9f0a6e421014e10000000a174cb4.html

The various work packages in the project are described as individual activities. Activities are the smallest units of a project that can be planned, executed, and controlled. Activities can be assigned to one or more WBS elements in a project. Activities can also be linked to each other by relationships to define the sequence and dependencies of the work packages. Reference:https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_ON-PREMISE/4dd8cb7b1c484b4b93af84d00f60fdb8/0673b65334e6b54ce10000000a174cb4.html

To confirm the working hours of different work centers for a single activity, you can create multiple confirmations for the activity and use the appropriate work center for each confirmation. A confirmation is a function that allows you to record actual data for activities and activity elements, such as actual dates, actual durations, actual work, and so on. A work center is a parameter that defines where an activity is performed or who performs it. A work center can have various attributes, such as capacity, cost center, formulas, and so on. To confirm the working hours of different work centers for a single activity, you can create multiple confirmations for the activity and use the appropriatework center for each confirmation. This allows you to capture the actual work done by each work center separately and update their capacity requirements and costs accordingly.

The prerequisites for resource-related billing are a dynamic item processor (DIP) profile with the appropriate settings and an activity-account-assigned network that is assigned to a sales order item. Resource-related billing is a process that allows you to bill customer-specific services based on individual materials, internal activities, and costs. The prerequisites for resource-related billing are:

A dynamic item processor (DIP) profile with the appropriate settings: A DIP profile is a parameter that defines how billing requests are created from project data, such as activities, materials, PRTs, and so on. A DIP profile contains various settings, such as which data sources are used, how prices are determined, how quantities are calculated, and so on. You have to create and maintain DIP profiles in Customizing for Project System under Revenues and Earnings Integration with SD Documents Dynamic Item Processor .

An activity-account-assigned network that is assigned to a sales order item: An activity-account-assigned network is a network that has its activities assigned to different account assignments, such as cost centers, orders, or sales orders. An activity-account-assigned network that is assigned to a sales order item means that some or all of its activities are assigned to an item of an SD document (such as standard order) with controlling object. This enables costs and revenues to be updated in both the SD document and the controlling object.

Controlling area, plant, and company code are some of the organizational structures required for network activities. Controlling area is an organizational unit that represents a closed system for cost accounting purposes. Plant is an organizational unit that represents a location where materials are produced or services are provided. Company code is an organizational unit that represents an independent accounting entity with its own balance sheet and profit and loss statement.

Project versions are copies of projects that allow you to save snapshots of project data at different points in time. Project versions are mandatory for Milestone Trend Analysis (MTA), which is a tool that allows you to monitor and compare the planned and actual dates of milestones in a project over time. Project versions can be created automaticallybased on user status, which means that you can define rules that trigger the creation of project versions when certain user statuses are set for project objects. Reference:https://help.sap.com/doc/0f069b2e08b748f1b480d4c8b46c3c49/100/en-US/6a7a9f0a6e421014e10000000a174cb4.html

Network type is an object that defines whether a network is “header-account-assigned” or “activity-account-assigned”. Header-account-assigned networks have only one account assignment at the network header level, which applies to all activities in the network. Activity-account-assigned networks have different account assignments at each activity level, which allows more flexibility and granularity in cost allocation and reporting.

The sequence for the following business transactions and documents for external activities in a project is vendor selection -> purchase order creation -> service entry sheet creation -> service entry sheet approval. Vendor selection is a process that involves choosing a suitable vendor for providing external services for a project activity. Purchase order creation is an action that involves creating a document that contains the details of the service request and sending it to the vendor. Service entry sheet creation is an action that involves creating a document that records the delivery of services from the vendor and posting actual costs to the project. Service entry sheet approval is an action that involves checking and confirming the accuracy of the service entry sheet before paying the vendor.

In the SAP Project System, there are different sets of dates that can be scheduled for a network. Some of these sets of dates are:

Planned dates: These are the dates that you enter manually for the network activities and relationships. You can use planned dates to define your own scheduling scenario that may differ from the system-calculated dates.

Forecast dates: These are the dates that are calculated by the system based on the current progress and status of the network activities and relationships. You can use forecast dates to estimate the future dates of the network based on the actual data and remaining work. Reference: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_ON- PREMISE/4dd8cb7b1c484b4b93af84d00f60fdb8/0673b65334e6b54ce10000000a174cb4.html

Resource reports and hierarchical reports are some of the possible reports that you can use to analyze the capacity requirements of your network activities. Resource reports display capacity requirements and availability for work centers or resources over a period of time. Hierarchical reports display capacity requirements and availability for work centers or resources in a hierarchical structure, such as plant, MRP controller, or work center group. Reference:https://help.sap.com/doc/0f069b2e08b748f1b480d4c8b46c3c49/100/en-US/6a7a9f0a6e421014e10000000a174cb4.html

 A template is a predefined structure that can be used to create a new project with network in the Project Builder (CJ20N). You can use different types of templates depending on your requirements and preferences. Some of these templates are:

Standard network: This is a template that contains predefined activities, relationships, milestones, and components for a network. You can use a standard network to create a new network with similar structure and content.

Standard Project definition: This is a template that contains predefined WBS elements, networks, activities, relationships, milestones, and components for a project. You can use a standard project definition to create a new project with similar structure and content.

Project definition: This is an existing project that can be used as a template for creating a new project with network. You can use a project definition to copy the entire structure and content of an existing project or only selected parts of it. Reference: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_ON-PREMISE/4dd8cb7b1c484b4b93af84d00f60fdb8/1ad4b65334e6b54ce10000000a174cb4.html?locale=en-US &state=PRODUCTION&version=2020.002

The benefit of assigning a field key to the project profile is that the field key is the default value for the WBS elements and the activities too. A field key is an object that defines which user fields are available and mandatory for a project object, such as a project definition, a WBS element, or an activity. A project profile is an object that contains various default values and control parameters for a project. By assigning a field key to a project profile, you can ensure that all WBS elements and activities created under that project profile have the same user fields settings. Reference:https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_ON-PREMISE/4dd8cb7b1c484b4b93af84d00f60fdb8/df72bb53707db44ce10000000a174cb4.html

According to SAP Help Portal3, “You can use availability control to monitor budgets for projects or parts of projects (WBS elements). Availability control checks whether sufficient funds are available for planned or actual costs. If the budget is exceeded by a certain percentage (tolerance limit), the system issues a warning or an error message.”References: 3
