You now have the option to load projects and networks without loading specific data. You can exclude this data on the Project Builder: User-Specific Options
screen. The performance improvement options are:
Exclude Material Master Data
If you select this option, material master data is excluded when you load a project or a network in the Project Builder
. However, note that all relevant data and fields
are displayed when you access material component details (in the detail or overview screens), or when you explicitly perform a material availability check.
Exclude Purchase Order History
If you select this option, purchase order (PO) data is excluded when you load a project or a network in the Project Builder
. If this option is selected, the following
fields are no longer displayed in the Project Builder
:
GR Quantity
(including the unit) on the Purchasing Data
tab
PO Exists
on the Procurement Parameters
tab
PO IDs
on the Procurement Parameters
tab
Received
(including the unit) on the Procurement Parameters
tab
You can use a BAdI to override performance-related user options that have been specified in the Project Builder
. Note that in the network processing transactions, the system loads material master data and the purchase order history by default; and this BAdI allows
you to exclude this data.
In the line item reporting of Project System
, you can now access line items from the archive and the database in parallel.
You can use a BAdI to implement a specific logic based on your business requirements for clearing down payments in billing plans and invoicing plans. The standard system provides 999 line items for each cash document. This can cause problems if you are using large billing and invoicing plans, since the line items in the cash document exceed the number of items in the billing and invoicing plans. You can use this BAdI to change the standard logic for the planned down payment clearings. Since you can change the standard logic, you can also reduce the number of line items in the cash document generated by the system.
