Orders for Projects 

Use

You can assign various types of orders to a WBS element provided the WBS element is an account assignment element.

The assignment means that the order is managed along with the project. The plan costs for the orders are recorded in the project in summarized form.

In the SAP System, you can use orders for different purposes. You can assign the following orders to a project:

Internal orders are used at the level of cost and service accounting - for example, to monitor costs

You use plant maintenance orders to plan plant-maintenance measures, and to enter and settle the resulting costs.

Production orders are used in the manufacture of goods.

Sales orders are contractual agreements between a sales organization and a sold-to party concerning the supply of materials or the rendering of services at defined prices and times, and in defined quantities.

You can assign sales order items or customer quotation items to a WBS element (billing element). If you do, revenue and cost controlling takes place wholly within the project. The quotation/order does not bear either costs or revenues.

In the following, the term "orders for the project" covers networks and activities too. You cannot enter a budget for orders for networks.
