Engineering

Purpose

Note the following the design phase of the project:

Planning of required resources

In this example, the data covering activities, capacities, and PRT is already defined for all variants of the elevator.

The required resources are, therefore, planned automatically when you enter the sales order. The network generated from the standard network already contains the data for activities, material, and so on, per the characteristic valuation in the sales order.

Use Work to stipulate the activities to be carried out by machines or personnel in project execution, thereby planning the required capacity.

Services, which are used to plan the activities involved in carrying out the project Services are processed using Purchasing.

You assign materials to determine which components and raw materials need to be reserved or ordered for the project. Doing this creates the link to material requirements planning (MRP) and purchasing.

Use production resources and tools (PRT) to stipulate the drawings, tools, or documents needed to carry out the project.

Some design activities are processed outside the SAP System.

Use R/3 Document Management to assign documents created in external systems to the project. You can not only store management data for CAD drawings, graphics, and so on, but can also display this data directly from the Project System.

When you enter the final confirmation for the design activities, the subsequent activities for the procurement phase are automatically released.
