Cost Planning in Projects and Networks
You can plan costs for a project in the SAP Project System (PS) based on work breakdown structure (WBS) elements and/or network activities.
This lesson focuses on cost planning using activities. Some customers use networks without assigned WBS elements. However, most customers use networks and activities assigned to WBS elements. Planned costs are aggregated from activities to superior WBS elements.
Hint
A benefit of the network costing method is that it can be copied to a new project and, if parts of the project are moved, cost planning is moved automatically along with the activities. In addition, planning is done by means of cost elements and is period-based.
