End of the note.

As the requester, you first create a cProject with the project type relevant to SAP Multiresource Scheduling. On the Structure Basic Data tab page, define the time frame of the project. The organizational unit is assigned differently depending on the process variant:
- Resource planner process:
  
  On the Structure Additional Data tab page, you assign a responsible organizational unit. The organizational unit must be defined as an SAP Multiresource Scheduling resource planning node. It corresponds to the resource planning node for roles that are assigned to the resource planner process.
- Contact person process:
  
  The organizational unit maintained at project level is independent of the organizational unit at role level.
On the Resources tab page, you create one or more roles for the project. During the resource planner process, the roles must be assigned to the role type that has been assigned to the resource planner process in Customizing. During the contact person process, the roles must be assigned to the role type that has been assigned to the contact person process in Customizing. On the General tab page, you enter the required project role type that is relevant for SAP Multiresource Scheduling along with the effort.
On the MRS tab page, you enter the number of required resources and can also enter a requirements profile with the required qualifications. The following prerequisites must be met:
- You can enter only reusable requirements profiles. If you edit a requirements profile for your project role, the system creates a copy of the requirements profile that is valid only for this project. You can also enter the proficiency level for the requirements profile as a whole.
Note

Instead of using qualifications from SAP Multiresource Scheduling, you can use standard HR qualifications in cProjects on the Qualifications tab page. For more information, see Use of HR Qualifications in cProjects.
End of the note.
The next step depends on the process variant:
- Resource planner process:
  
  The demand details that you entered (such as role type and organizational unit) are displayed on the MRS tab page.
- Contact person process:
  
  You must still assign the organizational units for which demands are to be created on the MRS tab page. To find organizational units directly, choose . To find organizational units using a requirements profile, choose . This is possible only if a requirements profile is assigned to the role.
Depending on the process flow, you may also have to enter a status for the demand such as Demand Newly Created.
To release the demand for resource planning in the SAP Multiresource Scheduling planning board, set the Start of Planning indicator and save the project. To close a demand that has already been released, choose Cancel.
