Creating a Project Charter for a Project Definition
In the project charter you define current values and target values along with the scope and benefits of a project. The project charter helps you to plan and carry out Six Sigma projects.
Prerequisites

checkbox in Customizing for Project Management
under 
Structure
Define Project Types
.
You are in the editing view of this project definition on the Project Charter
view.
In the Language
field, you have selected the language in which you want to enter language-dependent texts.
You cannot make any changes if you opened a snapshot (see Snapshot) or simulation. You cannot edit the project charter in the template.

We recommend that you use the URL parameter if you want to change the language for a short amount of time and adjust your browser settings if you need to change the language long term. Note that the browser language then only applies if the URL does not specify a language. For more information, see Multilingual Capabilities.
