When you create a service activity in your network, you can enter a service specification, an overall limit, and a vendor. The service specification defines the scope and details of the service to be performed. The overall limit sets a maximum value for all unplanned services that can be entered during service entry. The vendor specifies the external service provider who will perform the service. Reference:https://help.sap.com/doc/0f069b2e08b748f1b480d4c8b46c3c49/100/en-US/6a7a9f0a6e421014e10000000a174cb4.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.

To search in the structure overview based on the user status, you can use either the status selection profile or the individual status as search criteria. The structure overview is a function that allows you to display and analyze various structural elements of a project, such as WBS elements, networks, activities, milestones, and so on. The structure overview also provides various search functions that allow you to find specific project objects based on different criteria, such as number, description, system status, user status, and so on. To search in the structure overview based on the user status, you can use either:

• The status selection profile: This is a parameter that allows you to define a set of user statuses that can be used as a filter for searching project objects. You can create and maintain status selection profiles in Customizing for Project System under Structures Status Management Define Status Selection Profiles . You can also assign a default status selection profile to a project profile or a network profile.
• The individual status: This is a parameter that allows you to enter a single user status as a search criterion for finding project objects. You can enter an individual status directly in the search dialog box of the structure overview.

To carry out the internal project work as soon as possible, you have to maintain the control key of an activity in capacity requirements planning. Capacity requirements planning is a process that determines the capacity requirements and availability for work centers or resources that are used to execute project activities. The control key is a parameter that defines the basic properties of an activity, such as whether it is internally or externally processed, whether it requires confirmation or not, and whether it is relevant for scheduling or not. The control key also determines whether an activity is relevant for capacity requirements planning or not. To carry out the internal project work as soon as possible, you have to use a control key that activates capacity requirements planning for the internal activities.

To analyze the capacity requirements of their project, you can recommend using the extended capacity evaluation report. The extended capacity evaluation report displays capacity requirements and availability for work centers or resources over a period of time. 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 capacity requirements or availability situations by choosing drilldown functions.

To set up the requirement date for the component so that it will be in stock 5 days in advance of the assembly activity, you should set up the requirement date aligned with the activity start date and a negative offset of 5 days. The requirement date is the date on which a material component is required for an activity. The offset is a value that shifts the requirement date forward or backward from the activity start or finish date. A negative offset means that the requirement date is earlier than the activity date.

You can create several WBS elements per level.” According to SAP Help Portal2, “You can assign a WBS element of the new project to a different project definition.” According to SAP Help Portal3, “WBS elements can be planning elements, account assignment elements, and billing elements at the same time.”References: 123

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. Reference:https://help.sap.com/doc/0f069b2e08b748f1b480d4c8b46c3c49/100/en-US/6a7a9f0a6e421014e10000000a174cb4.html

If you are using WBS elements and activities are not assigned, you can always maintain the actual start and finish date of a WBS element manually or automatically. However, you can only maintain the actual start if the WBS element has the status “Released” or “Partially released”, which means it is ready for processing or partially ready for processing. You can maintain the actual finish regardless of the status of the WBS element. Reference:https://help.sap.com/doc/0f069b2e08b748f1b480d4c8b46c3c49/100/en-US/6a7a9f0a6e421014e10000000a174cb4.html

You can use both WBS and networks to represent a project in SAP S/4HANA Project System. A WBS shows the hierarchical structure of the project, while a network shows the flow and dependencies of the project activities.” According to SAP Blogs3, “You can create a project based on an activity by using the app ‘Create Project from Activity’.”References: 13

You have to consider that you can use an indicator to determine that only coded project numbers may be used within the project system. A coded project number is a project number that follows a predefined structure defined by a project coding mask. A project coding mask consists of a project coding key and a coding mask that specify the length and format of the project number and the WBS element numbers. You can use an indicator in customizing to restrict the creation of project numbers that do not follow a project coding mask.

Project-Oriented Procurement (ProMan) supports various business transactions that are related to project procurement. Some of these transactions are:

• Stock transfer posting: You can use this transaction to transfer project stock from one storage location to another within the same plant or between different plants.
• Generate purchase requisition: You can use this transaction to create a purchase requisition for a material or service that is required for a project.
• Cancel goods issue: You can use this transaction to reverse a goods issue posting for a material that was issued from project stock. Reference: https://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/EN/8e/8bc95360267214e10000000a174cb4/frameset.htm

“The controlling area that you specify when you create a project definition is unique for the entire project. You specify the controlling area just once when you create the project.”References: 2

Stock items can be procured using planned orders, third-party orders, or purchase requisitions and reservations for WBS elements. Preliminary purchase requisitions are used for non-stock items and reservations are used for stock items that are already available in the warehouse. Reference:https://help.sap.com/doc/0f069b2e08b748f1b480d4c8b46c3c49/100/en-US/6a7a9f0a6e421014e10000000a174cb4.html

To grant individual authorization for WBS elements and networks, you have to activate access control lists (ACL) for the project profile and the network profile. Access control lists are a feature that allows you to control access to project objects, such as WBS elements and networks, based on user-specific authorization objects. You can use access control lists to define which users can create, change, display, or delete project objects. The project profile is a parameter that defines the basic properties of a project, such as its project type, number range, and budget profile. The network profile is a parameter that defines the basic properties of a network, such as its order type, number range, and scheduling parameters. You have to activate access control lists for both the project profile and the network profile in Customizing in order to use them for WBS elements and networks.
