Creating a projectBefore you create a project using either a template or the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session, define the parameters. Fill the project data management sessions that you want to use for your project, assuming you entered all the necessary common data. Define a general project in the General Projects (tcmcs0552m000) session to make sure that a PCS project does not use the same code, and then choose a code for a project. Consult the session Help and field Help to correctly enter the project fields. If you want to define a project, note that the following fields are mandatory:
Save your project and, in the Project 360 (tppdm6500m100) session, on the appropriate menu, select Project - Cost Control Levels. If you only want to monitor one of your type of cost levels, clear all the other cost control levels. Enter the business partners you want to use in your project and enter the contract amount. If you want to change the top activity of the activity structure later on because you did not want to use the Default Activity that was entered in the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session, you can do so in the Activities (tppss2100m000) session. Go to the appropriate menu and choose the Insert Top Activity command. Project status A project has a Free status when all its data is entered including the element and or activity structure. If this data is entered you must set the status to Active to actually be able to work with these project data:
Go to the Projects (tppdm6100m000) session and, on the appropriate menu, choose Project Status. Then, in the Project Status (tppdm6107s000) session, change the status to Active. After creating the project, the logical next step is to work on:
