To allocate overhead rates to a WBS element, you must assign a costing sheet to the WBS element. A costing sheet is a tool that allows you to define and calculate overhead costs based on various criteria, such as plant, company code, material origin, or order type. You can assign a costing sheet to a WBS element in the Control Data tab of the WBS element master data.

Dynamic item processor (DIP) is a tool that allows you to create sales order items automatically based on project data. Some of the features of DIP are: Sales prices are maintained in the DIP profile, which is a parameter that defines how sales order items are created and priced from project data. Sources can be based on line items, which means that you can use individual cost elements or revenue elements as sources for creating sales order items. Material determination is mandatory, which means that you have to assign a material number to each source in order to create sales order items.

Float time is the amount of time that an activity or a WBS element can be delayed without affecting the end date of the project. Float time can be negative if an activity or a WBS element is already behind schedule. The float time of WBS elements is calculated by extrapolating the float times of their subordinate activities. The free float is the amount of time that an activity can be delayed without affecting the start date of its successor activities. The total float is the amount of time that an activity can be delayed without affecting the end date of the project. Therefore, the maximum size of a free float is as large as the total float of an activity.

To carry out the internal project work as soon as possible, you have to maintain the control key of an activity in capacity requirements planning. Capacity requirements planning is a process that determines the capacity requirements and availability for work centers or resources that are used to execute project activities. The control key is a parameter that defines the basic properties of an activity, such as whether it is internally or externally processed, whether it requires confirmation or not, and whether it is relevant for scheduling or not. The control key also determines whether an activity is relevant for capacity requirements planning or not. To carry out the internal project work as soon as possible, you have to use a control key that activates capacity requirements planning for the internal activities.

To search in the structure overview based on the user status, you can use either the status selection profile or the individual status as search criteria. The structure overview is a function that allows you to display and analyze various structural elements of a project, such as WBS elements, networks, activities, milestones, and so on. The structure overview also provides various search functions that allow you to find specific project objects based on different criteria, such as number, description, system status, user status, and so on. To search in the structure overview based on the user status, you can use either:

The status selection profile: This is a parameter that allows you to define a set of user statuses that can be used as a filter for searching project objects. You can create and maintain status selection profiles in Customizing for Project System under Structures Status Management Define Status Selection Profiles . You can also assign a default status selection profile to a project profile or a network profile.

The individual status: This is a parameter that allows you to enter a single user status as a search criterion for finding project objects. You can enter an individual status directly in the search dialog box of the structure overview.

According to SAP Help Portal3, “You can use availability control to monitor budgets for projects or parts of projects (WBS elements). Availability control checks whether sufficient funds are available for planned or actual costs. If the budget is exceeded by a certain percentage (tolerance limit), the system issues a warning or an error message.”References: 3

Basic dates and planned dates are some of the sets of dates that can be used to schedule networks. Basic dates are the earliest possible start and finish dates of an activity or a network, based on its dependencies and constraints. Planned dates are the scheduled start and finish dates of an activity or a network, based on its basic dates and available capacities. Reference:https://help.sap.com/doc/0f069b2e08b748f1b480d4c8b46c3c49/100/en-US/6a7a9f0a6e421014e10000000a174cb4.html

The approval of a service entry sheet and the approval of a goods receipt are both transactions that can be used to post actual costs for external processing.”References: 3

The scheduling of internal processing activities is influenced by several factors, such as the control key, the activity elements, and the factory calendar. The control key is a parameter that defines the basic properties of an activity, such as whether it is internally or externally processed, whether it requires confirmation or not, and whether it is relevant for scheduling or not. The scheduling indicator in the control key determines whether an activity is included in scheduling or not. The activity elements are subordinate units of an activity that represent partial tasks or work packages. The relationships between activity elements define the logical sequence and dependencies of the partial tasks. The factory calendar is a parameter that defines the working days and holidays for a work center. The factory calendar affects the duration and dates of an activity that uses the work center.

One business process that is allowed for a WBS element with system status created (CRTD) is creation of purchase orders. The system status is a parameter that indicates which business transactions are allowed or not allowed for a project object, such as a WBS element or a network. The system status created (CRTD) means that a WBS element has been created but not yet released. A WBS element with system status created (CRTD) can be used for planning purposes only and cannot be used for execution purposes. However, one exception is that you can create purchase orders for external services or materials with reference to a WBS element with system status created (CRTD). This allows you to start procurement processes early in the project lifecycle. Reference:https://help.sap.com/doc/0f069b2e08b748f1b480d4c8b46c3c49/100/en-US/6a7a9f0a6e421014e10000000a174cb4.html
