Agenda
SAP Project System (SAP PS) powers the worlds largest and
most important projects. SAP PS is used to build buildings,
construct huge refineries, turnaround plants, manage
information system projects and coordinate a vast range of
other large scale projects.
Project managers and financial analysts need to make sure the
project is executed on time and on budget. The executives use
the PS module in SAP R/3 to ensure that resources and funds
are put to use in the right ways at the right times.

The building blocks of SAP Project System
At the highest level of SAP PS, projects are defined and then
structured into an organizational form that maps to the specific project.
Work Breakdown Structure
The project is first broken down into work breakdown structures (WBS)
which map to specific project deliverables.
Networks
Each WBS can then be broken down into networks of activities. A
network can be thought of as a list of tasks organized into a process
flow with specific timing.
Activities
Activities are the key tasks to be completed. These activities map to
internal activities, external activities, cost activities and materials
components.
Work Centers
Internal activities are assigned to work centers (resources) to be
completed.
