Hi Abhinay,
You can use industry specific solution for telecom industry.
Please refer below link.

You can refer below thread on scn.

From PS point of view, to develop telecom tower, you can think of investment project scenario using PS-IM functionalties.
Refer below mentioned link for Investment Management.

Hi Abhinay,
You can structure project like a typical Investment Project wherein you can assign different WBS elements for different work related to Telecom Tower ( E.g Engineering, Procurement, Assembly,Acceptance).
Subsequently you can do date, cost planning, budgetting for these WBS elements using Investment Program.
Enter actual dates,actual costs and then carry out settlement to asset under construction and fixed asset depending upon the scenario.
Refer below mentioned threads on Integration of IM-PS

Hi Abhinay,
Yes, we allocated budget in PS from Invesment program.
The items are budgeted in the investment program. You can use the cost planning data of the investment program as a proposal for budgeting. You can copy the plan versions of your choice to the budget.
The investment program budget values can then be distributed (control parameter: program type) among the investment measures (in our example, the top WBS elements of the investment projects).
The budget values of the top WBS element are then distributed further among the level 2 WBS elements (but only if the individual work packages are to be responsible for their own budgets).
Refer below chart showing this integration.

Hi Abhinay,
I hope you have followed the links and information provided by Tushar sincerely and thoroughly.It contains ample amount of information related to your query.
Cutting it short, I would like to give you some pointers on your issue
how IM is link with PS
search in forum for that there are many threads on this topic.
the budget we allocate in PS is to be related with IM?
you can use IM for budgeting your projects and WBS
Now, coming back to your issue, Yes, you can create project structure through requests (Appropriation requests created in IM)
Follow the below given path in your testing server:
This AR number (on saving) will be your PD id.
Note:Just to give you a kick start on the process, I have cut short the whole process (as before AR we create Investment programs (IM31) then budget distribution IM52 etc.)
Hope it helps.

HI All,
I hope he is expecting the He (Former Member) expecting the link between the Project Creation with the link with the quotation. He is not thinking about Investment Profit or Cusomter Project.
Is it right Former Member ?

Hi Abhi,
Can you be a bit specific, like will the request from internal team is based on some order expectations or will it be after confirmation of erection of tower for particular region. Wither way internal team can create a saleorder, and pass the info to projects. Then PS can develop structure based on this internal no and attach the billing WBS later to SO. Try this possibility.

Hi Abhi,
What exactly you are looking at?.
1. As an internal project if you want to track, are you allocating the Budget for the Project based on the towers to be installed?. I hope you can understand how the Investment Management scenario works.
Ex : Tower1
Region: A Region : B Region : C
For all these regions there can be budget allocation and the regions can be your WBS which captures cost and revenue.
The Investment management has following steps;
1. Investment Program
2. Appropriation Request
3. Investment Measure
4. Information System
You can find the details in help.sap library
2. If you are not going for Investment or on Budget lines to start the project then you may think of going ahead with Customer Project scenario. In Customer Project always the practice is like there will be Sales Invoice which will be raised on the Customer that is where we are going to deliver the product or service.
I have come across such projects and we went with Customer projects scenario only. When we think of erecting towers also the Telecom scenario may involve laying of cables and digging work so forth so on.

MRD
