Questions & Limitations

Business Case #1 PS Business case description A mid-market Pharmaceutical company decides they need a better integrated tool to manage their R&D projects. Their requirements included:
Resource planning along a discrete curve over a long period of time. Detailed cost planning for external partners with procurement process. This includes multi-country/multi-currency highly regulated procurement and invoice postings. Use of settlement to move costs to multiple receivers based on type fo costs.
G/L for R&D costs, CCtr for clinical trials costs, PCA for other costs.

Extensive use of Graphics to build and manage project structures.

Use of CATS to enter time against projects for every employee in the R&D organization.

In this case, PS was a better fit as it best met the demands of the customer to integrate HR, FI/CO, MM, and PCA.

Business Case #1 PS Chose to use Integrated Planning on WBS elements due to requirement to discretely plan resource across extensive duration. They also chose to use the Project Planning Board to manage ALL aspects of their Project Structure Planning and utilize WBS Cost planning to manage their resource planning against cost centers.

Summary:

This Pharma customer is live with PS and most of the ERP modules for their R&D organization.
This Pharma customer implemented PS for the purpose of integrating their financial and procurement tools with their project management tool.

They utilize integrated planning with CO to get a better view of their required resource load over time across projects.

Business Case #2 xRPM Business case description Customer uses PS in their R&D organization and MS Project in their IT organization. They do not have a solution to manage ANY portfolio data. They have the need to view and manage their IT portfolio across their enterprise. Because they currently use MS Project for IT projects and will want to manage their entire project portfolio, we proposed using xRPM. Questions regarding this decision surrounded the long-term vision of portfolio management. Data origin (where the data comes from:
Project structures (MS Project, Artemis, Plan View, Primavera, etc)
Resources (MS Project, PeopleSoft/Oracle, SAP, etc) Costs (MS Project, Primavera, Oracle, SAP, etc)

The use of xRPM allows this customer to continue using their existing project management tools while providing the capability to add additional tools to manage the enterprise portfolio as they determine their portfolio design.

Introduction to Project Financial Integration A key differentiator in the SAP tools for Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) is the integration into the back-end Financial and Controlling systems. This functionality eliminates the need to enter data into multiple systems and therefore maintains the official system of record. All of the PPM tools SAP offers have this functionality. The SAP Portfolio tool, xRPM, also provides connectivity from other back-end Financial Management, Human Resources, and Project Management tools to provide greater flexibility across the Enterprise portfolio.

cProjects 4.0 xRPM 4.0


Questions & Limitations

Where is the Financial Data In the world of PPM tools such as Project Systems (PS) in ECC, cProjects 4.0, or xRPM, neither costs nor revenues originate via direct transactions. As such, costs are moved into the PPM tools PS, cProjects, and xRPM from other parts of the system such as Purchasing, Goods Movements, Sales Document Billings, Labor Confirmations, etc. The following slide demonstrates how labor costs are generated and stored in the Organizational Breakdown Structure (OBS) and then moved to the project (PS) via labor confirmations and later off the project via settlement. Direct posting to the project occurs when goods receipt from a PO is executed, an invoice is posted, or a goods issue occurs.

Revenue is posted to a project via a customer invoice (billing) posting.
