Description
This book provides you with a comprehensive overview of the functions and customizing options of SAP Project System, showing readers how best to manage the entire project lifecycle-from start to finish.
Based on various typical project phases, each chapter describes in great detail how you can maintain control of your projects from structuring, to planning and budgeting, to monitoring the project progress, to settlement. Topics that are applicable to multiple project phases, such as reporting, are also covered in detail. In addition, you'll uncover options for integrating SAP Project System with other tools, such as MS Project, cProjects, and xRPM.
The book provides consultants, project leaders who use SAP PS, members of SAP PS implementation projects, and key users with highly detailed information on the functions and configuration options of SAP Project System. Although the book is based on Release SAP ERP 2005 (ECC 6.0), it is also very useful for older releases (4.6C and above).
