SAP Project System – A ready

Reference ( Part 2 )
 16  55  44,203

In my previous blog SAP Project System – A ready Reference ( Part 1 ) , I had
explained Basic PS terminologies with the help of a simple example.

Now let me go to some technicalities of the same.

If some body asks me to develop report in PS module what basic information do I

need?

Mainly I need to find out three things :

Master tables and there relationship with each other.

Standard transactions in PS module and
BAPIs used to deal with PS data.

Let’s start with the master table

PS Master Tables and their relationship:

Object Master Table

Hey, thanks for the blog on Project System. I think you might be interested to know about the Project
System ES bundle.

This ES bundle offers enterprise service-based integration with SAP Project System. One simple use would
be to have a contractor with a handheld update project status via an enterprise service (telling you, for
example, that the wiring on the third floor of the building is 50% complete, for example).

Thanks,

Deb

Hello,
I am trying to user BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN function module to create create a nework. However I
cannot get past these errors.

The statuses could not be created while creating network "MS41-T000002" (Message ID CN #194)
WBS elem. cntrl. area "FP00" is not same as network cntrl. area (Message ID CN #068)

I can create the Network and activities through CN21 transaction using the same data that I am passing to
BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN function module.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dear Sheetal,

Thank you. Very interesting post.

Do you also have some kind of user manual with respect to Project Progress? I am stuck with studying
multiple methodologies and trying to understand them.

Thank you
