Ressource management possibilities

Hi,

reading the documentation about PPM resource planning in SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0 – SAP Help Portal Page and other resources i don't get the point with the question:

What is possible regarding the resource planning with

- just PPM/cProjects and HCM.

- the usage of WFD (but we are not using CRM)

- Portal, ...

- other modules.

I would like to use the resource planning within cPro. The goal is to be able to add a resource to a task and see that the resource is available 50% because he is also doing some other tasks in other projects. Is this possible with cPro and HCM (and nothing else like WDF / CRM, ... )

What is possible with the different increments (cPro/HCM, WFD, ... ). I was reading through the documentation but at the end I don't get the point with it.

Regards, Vanessa

Hello Vanessa,

You can use the Resource Planning functionality within the c-projects.. You can create demands for the Resources, Add resources for the demands, Can see who is mapped to which project Task.

The requirement which you have mentioned can be easily achieved using Resource Management functionality within PPM. You don't need CRM or WFD etc..

Hope it helps...

Hi Samar,

what would be the benefit of the other scenarios? What about vacation that is maintained in HCM. Is this also taken into account?

How is SAP Multiresource Scheduling related to this?

Hi Vanessa,

I have not worked on the scenario wherein HCM Vacation data is being synced in PPM. So I cannot really comment on it.. Though the Integration between HCM and PPM is good. You have assigned task with actual comparison in PPM.

And based on Factory Calendar Settings you can get actual working days while creating demands for resources in PPM.

For MRS ( Multi Resource Scheduling) it enhances the PPM in the sense that you can do scheduling for Machines and Persons both ( whereas in PPM it is only Human Resource you can work with).

Tasks or Network Activities if you have PS are created as Demands in MRS and based on these demands Scheduling can be carried out at a very granular level..

For PPM and CRM it's more to get into the front end of business by Integrating the Projects with opportunities in CRM or vice-versa.. It allows automatic Quotation Creation in CRM using Easy Cost Planning in PPM.

There is a lot of literature in SAP Help on Integration points of PPM with other SAP Modules.

Hope this high level gives you some insights..

Cheers
