lets dive right in….
1.Project System Structure
Planning of all activities in detail is an essential process in any
project irrespective of its size and volume. Right Project
planning helps to ensure the completion of project at right
time with right amount cost involved.
It is also essential to know the amount of resource and funds
required to execute the project and also the timings of its
requirement. In an organization many tasks like construction,
installation of large machinery etc.., are carried out as projects.
Project organization is a prime and foremost step in project
structuring. Project Organization in PS helps to
 Plan the project
 Monitor the project progress
 Control the project progress
Projects can be structured based on
 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element
 Work package – with activities
From Finance point of view, each project is identified as
 Externally financed project
 Internally financed project
Project System Organization: -
Project system has got the following parameters.
Project definition
WBS element
Networks
Activities
The above discussed PS module elements are assigned to the
existing organizational units. I.e. these are assigned to the
existing controlling area, company code, business area, profit
center and plant.
In short we can say that there is no independent org structure
for PS module like SD and MM. The PS parameters are
assigned to the existing organizational units at different levels.
Let us discuss the possible assignments of each PS elements
with existing org. structure.
Project Definition:
Project Definition is the process of defining the project with its
objective, Accounting information and logistic related
information.
Accounting information:-
Controlling Area
Company code
Business Area
Plant
Location
Profit center
Currency
Budget profile
Interest calculation profile
Planning profile
Investment profile
Result Analysis key
Logistic information
Network profile
WBS Scheduling profile
Person responsible
Start & End date
Factory calendar
Time unit
WBS Element: -
WBS element is a master data used for projects. The usage of
WBS is
 Organizes the project task in an order
 Process planning, cost planning, capacity planning
 Costing and controlling
 To know the amount of work involved in a project
WBS is created with reference to the project definition. The
data maintained under project definitions are copied into WBS
WBS Accounting information:-
 Currency – Copied from projection profile.
Can be changed only if company code
currency is different from controlling
area and there must NOT be any
budget, commitments exist for the
WBS element.
 Company code
 Business area
 Profit center
 Plant
Network: -
Network represents flow of task in a project. Tasks performed
with WBS such as planning, controlling etc. can be done with
network also. The structure of the network is similar to that of
production order and maintenance order.
Network can be assigned to
 Project definition
 WBS
 Time sheet entry
Activities: -
Activities indicate the sequence of any process. Activities
contains
Duration
Start and finish
Requirement of resources
Cost requirements
Activities can be
Internally processed
Externally processed
Service related
General cost activities
Now let us see what is there in the configuration for PS
structure.
The project definition contains various profiles from costing
point of view. We shall start from WBS structure.
