The integration of SAP Solution Manager projects and SAP Portfolio and Project Management projects allows you to plan and manage projects in an IT environment, using SAP Solution Manager functionality. You can enrich your SAP Solution Manager projects with the project management capabilities of SAP Portfolio and Project Management, including detailed planning and structuring of your project, and resource management, and you can hand over your plans to realization, using the integrated SAP Portfolio and Project Management and Change Request Management. Time and status feedback allow you to monitor the progress and resource consumption of your project.

The project management functions in SAP Portfolio and Project Management manage, for example, project time, resources and status. SAP Solution Manager projects are linked to the SAP Portfolio and Project Management projects for technical operations. Requests for change in Change Request Management are also integrated with tasks in SAP Portfolio and Project Management projects. You can use the project management capabilities in SAP Portfolio and Project Management projects to manage SAP Solution Manager projects. When assigned, the SAP Portfolio and Project Management project is the leading project management tool, and replaces some SAP Solution Manager project management functions. Data entered in an SAP Portfolio and Project Management project is mapped and transferred to an SAP Solution Manager project, and the SAP Solution Manager project administration data entry capabilities are disabled, to guarantee data consistency.
