Project-Oriented Procurement (ProMan) is a tool that allows you to display and process procurement documents that are relevant for projects. You can use ProMan to display reservations and purchase order items that are assigned to WBS elements or network activities. You can also use ProMan to create purchase requisitions, purchase orders, goods movements, and invoices for project-related materials and services.

Basic dates and planned dates are some of the sets of dates that can be used to schedule networks. Basic dates are the earliest possible start and finish dates of an activity or a network, based on its dependencies and constraints. Planned dates are the scheduled start and finish dates of an activity or a network, based on its basic dates and available capacities.

PPIDS master data is necessary for using PP/DS, which is a component of SAP APO that provides advanced planning and scheduling functions for production planning and detailed scheduling. PPIDS master data includes material and resource data. Material is a set of data that defines the characteristics and properties of a product that can be produced or procured. Resource is a set of data that defines the characteristics and capacities of a production facility that can be used to produce products.

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.

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.

Planned revenue and actual revenue are two types of revenue for WBS elements in SAP Project System. Planned revenue requires a sales order assigned to a WBS element, which means that the sales order item contains the data for revenue planning, such as quantity, price, and billing plan. Actual revenue is posted via a billing document created from a sales order, which means that the billing document records the delivery of goods or services to a customer and requests payment for them.

One statement that is valid regarding networks is that relationships can be used to connect activities of different networks. Networks are structural elements of a project that represent processes or operations within a project. Networks consist of various activities that represent tasks or partial tasks within a network. Relationships are logical connections between activities or networks that define the sequence or dependency of their execution. Relationships can be used to connect activities of different networks in order to model complex processes that span across multiple networks. For example, you can use a finish-start relationship to indicate that an activity in one network cannot start until an activity in another network is finished.

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 define a milestone for February 10 that should not be changed through scheduling, you should enter February 10 as fixed date for the milestone. A fixed date is a date that remains unchanged during scheduling, regardless of any changes in the dates of preceding or succeeding activities or milestones. A fixed date can be entered manually or automatically derived from a constraint. Reference:https://help.sap.com/doc/0f069b2e08b748f1b480d4c8b46c3c49/100/en-US/6a7a9f0a6e421014e10000000a174cb4.html

To plan basic dates manually for WBS elements, you can use the Project Builder or the Project planning board. These are tools that allow you to create and maintain project structures, such as WBS elements, networks, activities, and milestones. You can enter basic dates for WBS elements in the Basic Data tab of the WBS element master data in the Project Builder or in the Gantt chart view of the Project planning board.

According to SAP Press2, “To use assembly processing, you need a material master with sales views, a bill of material (BOM) for the material, a standard network with activities, and an assignment between the material and the standard network.”References: 2

To allocate overhead rates to a WBS element, you must assign a costing sheet to the WBS element. A costing sheet is a tool that allows you to define and calculate overhead costs based on various criteria, such as plant, company code, material origin, or order type. You can assign a costing sheet to a WBS element in the Control Data tab of the WBS element master data.
