Create Project Profile

The project profile contains default values and other control parameters such as the planning method for dates and costs.

The data that you enter in the project profile will be copied into a project in its project definition or in the elements which can later be overwritten.

Examples

• To call up the graphic, you must first have specified various graphic profiles in the project profile.

• To carry out cost planning you must specify a planning profile.

• To carry out financial budgeting you must specify a financial planning profile.

You can maintain the various profiles which must be present in the project profile in the implementation guide for the Project System and also in the cross-application IMG. For example, the settings for the graphic are made by choosing Basis -> Frontend Services -> Network/Hierarchy.

Notes

The values in the project profile determine the functionality of certain areas of the Project System and cannot be changed without careful thought. Do not change profiles and key from related functions which are defined in the project profile, such as the costing sheet or the results analysis key. These changes could effect existing objects.

You must maintain the following sections for the project profile:

• Basic data

• Time scheduling

• Costs/revenues/finances

• Organizational data

Standard Settings

In the standard R/3 System, SAP has predefined a project profile containing the most important control parameters.
