In general Claims are of 2 types

1. Claims on Vendor

2. Claims on Customer

Exmaple of Claim on Customer:

You could have incured some additional cost in the Project that u would like to claim from ur Customer as per the contractual norms can be mapped using Claim Management.

So u create a claim document in the system and maintain various information related to Claim

1. Cutomer Details

2. Related Project ID ( WBS Element)

3. U can attache some doucments to the Claim Document

4. What is Planned Cost

5. How much Customer has payed agains that.

Also there standard approval process to approve the claim document.

Refer presentatation on Claim management on "service.sap.com/ps". Click on "Media Center Project System".

Hope this helps.

Dear Chandrasai

Claim Management in SAP PS enables you to document variances from the project plan, and to trigger and monitor follow-up actions.

While your project is being executed, you may experience delivery problems, price variations, etc. that results in variances from the project plan. You must document these variances and clarify which contractual partners are responsible. Claim management ensures that a claim arising from variances is prepared and lodged against contractual partners at right time. Variances often incur increased costs.

Good luck

Please refer :

The basic config steps are:

Project System -> Claim -> Notification -> Notification creation -> Notification type -> Define Notification type

Project System -> Claim -> Notification -> Notification creation -> Notification type -> Define Notification Number Range

Also you can maintain the screen templates as per your requirement.
