A network represents the flow of a project or of a task within a project. You can graphically display various structural elements of a project and their interdependencies in the Project System.

During the life of a project, networks are used as a basis for planning, analyzing, controlling and monitoring schedules, dates and resources.(such as people, machines, PRTs, materials, documents and drawings). You can assign networks to a project or a sales document, such as a sales order.

A network is a special type of work order that has the same structure as production orders, maintenance orders, and inspection orders in the R/3 System.
