Structure Tree

Work Area

The structure tree displays the project object (project definition, WBS element, Network, activity) Worklist You can store user-specifically frequently used project data (project definitions, networks, and WBS elements) in the worklist, so that you can access them quickly later. Furthermore, a list of the last five projects that you have worked on is always displayed in the worklist. Work Area In the work area, you see the details view of the object selected in the structure tree. You can also directly access overviews of subordinate objects. Here you can execute all the business transactions for project coordination and execution. You can always move between the detailed view of the selected object and the overviews of the subordinate objects.

Material and Service procurement for project

Once the structure exists for the project, you can start to plan/add components to activities. Cost planning and scheduling takes place simultaneously.

48

To add component for an activity: Select an activity There are different views under the activity:

Adding material for an activity There are two ways to add components to activities: 1) By dragging and dropping from the template area

Drag and drop the Material component object from template area to an activity. The screen will look as illustrated in the picture above. Give material definition, item category L (stock ), and qty. 2) By selecting the Component overview button, you can start to add components.

49

After the selection the screen looks as follows:

In this table you can add components to activities. Required fields are Material, Requirement qty and Item category. 1) Adding items which is manufactured by same BU: Always select L Stock item in the item category field.

50

The alternatives when the item category marked as L - Stock item for material

[Reserve for network: Use this indicator to specify that a reservation is created for materials kept in stock (stock items).] [Reserve. WBS element: You use this indicator to create a reservation for the non-stock item for the network and post the material in the project stock after goods receipt.] Preq+Res WBS elem.: Use this indicator to specify that the purchase requisition for the non-stock item and stock items, will be converted into a standard purchase order for the project. [Prelim. Preq-WBS el: Specifies that a purchase requisition is created for the material and this purchase requisition is then converted into a preliminary order for the WBS element. No MRP-relevant reservation is created. After goods receipt for the purchase order, a receipt is posted to the project stock.] [3rd party req. WBS el: Specifies that a purchase requisition should be created for the material and then converted to a third-party order for the WBS element. When the delivery address is separate from the plant address]
