ASIA PS Flashcards
oversees projects, tasks, and timelines while identifying critical paths, assigning resources, and tracking progress.
SAP Project Management or Project System (PS)
Compared to other SAP S/4HANA modules, “BLANK” does not have an organizational structure.
SAP PS
It inherits its organizational structures via assignment into organization units in the enterprise structure.
SAP PS
includes master data unique to itself.
SAP PS master data
This master data details the project characteristics that include complexity, uniqueness, risk, goal-oriented, time restriction, cost, capacity, strategic meaning, and quality standards. Project types include Customer Projects, Overhead Cost Projects, and Investment Projects.
Projects
a SAP tool that allows users to edit projects quickly and efficiently. It is where all data is prepared using only one (1) transaction.
project builder
describes either a concrete activity or a sub- activity that can be further subdivided into work.
WBS element
a quantitative and qualitative description of an activity to be carried out in the project, such as the work to be done and the result to be achieved for a clearly defined task within the project.
work project
consists of access sequences and relationships. It forms the basis for planning based on costs, revenues, payments, budgets, and schedules. It can be structured in functions, objects, and phases like conceptual design, overall planning, or permissions.
Hierarchy Graphic
can be linked together by relationships to establish a chronological order. The resulting arrangement structure is called a network.
Activities
describes activities as “components of a process” with the following
characteristics:
o Duration
o Defined Start and Finish
o Processed without Interruption
o Needs for resources to execute them
o Costs
German Standard DIN 69900
describe the chronological sequence in a network plan order standard network. There can be dependencies of a technical or logical nature.
Relationships
from the end of one series to the beginning of another.
- Normal Series
from the beginning of one series to the beginning of another.
- Start Series
starting at the end of one series and going to the end of another series.
- Finish Series
from the beginning of one series to the end of another series.
- Bounding Series
the relationship between the end of an activity to the beginning of the following activity. For example, in project development, the assembly activity cannot start before the production activity has finished.
Finish – Start (FS)
the relationship between the beginning of an activity to the beginning of the following activity. For example, in project development, the component procurement process cannot start before the design activity has started.
Start – Start (SS)
the relationship between the end of an activity to the end of the following activity. For example, in project development, the work scheduling activity cannot be finished before the design activity has finished.
Finish – Finish (FF)
the relationship from the beginning of an activity to the end of the following activity. For example, in project development, the start-up activity cannot be finished before the inspection activity has started.
Start – Finish (SF)
These are used to mark transitions between different phases or departments. In the project system, they can be used for additional tasks or functions. Milestones are created in the Project Builder.
Milestones
a simple and effective method of controlling dates in a project. The milestone dates on different report dates are compared. In the graphical MTA chart, trends and delays are recognized immediately.
- Milestone Trend Analysis (MTA):
one of the measurement techniques for determining the earned value in earned value analysis. Each milestone represents the portion of the work that is completed in an activity or a WBS element.
