Procedure documentationCreating Additional Data for a Project Definition

 

Here you can create additional data for a project definition.

Prerequisites

You created a project definition (see Creating a Project Definition) and are in the editing view of this project definition on the Additional Data tab (see also Opening a Project or Project Version).

Note Note

You cannot make any changes if you opened a snapshot.

End of the note.

Procedure

Advanced Area

  1. Enter the Sold-to Party Number and the Customer Number, as required, or select a number using the search (see Search).

    The system transfers the numbers to the Sold-to Party or Customer fields accordingly.

  2. Enter a Grouping, if required.

    Grouping allows you to group together projects in one category. You can select the grouping of your choice. It is an additional search criterion in the search function for finding a project.

  3. Enter a search term in the Search Field, if required.

    The system also uses the search term as an additional search criterion in the search function.

  4. If you activated time recording for the project definition in the Define Project Types activity in Customizing for Project Management, the Confirmation field is also active on the Additional Data tab page. The field is only ready for input once the project has been released.

Responsible Organizational Unit Area

Enter the organizational unit responsible for the project, or select it using the search.

The organizational unit can be used to determine organizational data for costing (see Costing Logic and Derivation of Organizational Data).

Default Values for Resources Area

  • If you enter an area and a location, the system offers you this data again when you create new roles. You can change this information for each role.

  • The distribution unit and period type you enter here form the basis for the distribution of the demand (see Distribution of Demand over Periods).

    Caution Caution

    If you change the demand distribution unit, the system adjusts the distribution values of the roles accordingly. This can lead to rounding errors in particular if the new unit is significantly larger than the old one, for example, changing the unit from day to year.

    End of the caution.
Administration Area

Here you see which project template the project is based on and who the person responsible for the template is. Furthermore, you check who created and changed the project and when.

Import Area

This area only appears on the Additional Data tab if an import to the project has taken place (for example from Microsoft Project). In this area, you can see when the last import was done, who has done the import, and the name of the file used to import. You can also export the last imported file by clicking the Export link.

The Import area is only supported when either Internet Explorer or NWBC for Desktop (with Browser rendering from Internet Explorer) are used. It is not supported by Firefox, for example. For more information about supported browsers, see SAP Note 1402912.
