Project Management: Various Functions 2 (Enhanced)

Use

The following enhancements to Project Management are available as of SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0 SP10:

• Copying of Projects

You can create projects using an existing operational project as a template. The function is available in the project dashboard. You can either choose Create and use the template type Project or select a project and choose Copy Project.

The system copies the project structure, made up of the project definition with phases, tasks, roles, checklists and checklist items.
All project elements are copied in their initial status. Attributes that do not match this status, such as actual dates, are not copied. Additionally, the data scope copied depends on your system settings.

For more information, see SAP Library for SAP Portfolio and Project Management on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/ppm50 under Project Management -> Creation of a Project -> Copying of Projects.

• Deactivation of Accounting Integration During Background Evaluation

You can deactivate the transfer of project data to accounting during the background evaluation of projects. If the accounting integration is active for your project types, this can lead to a considerable performance improvement of the background process. The data transfer can be deactivated for all projects, or only for projects with certain attributes, such as a specific project type.
If you do not activate this enhancement, the data transfer is carried out for all projects for which accounting integration is active, even though in most cases, the evaluation results are not relevant to accounting.

• Fixed Values for Milestone Tasks

When you create milestone tasks in operational projects or project templates, fixed values can be assigned automatically to the following attributes:

Attribute	Fixed Value
Duration	1
Finish Constraint and Date	initial
Work	0

This enables you to treat milestones as a single point in time.
Instead of the standard values, you can also define you own fixed values.
If you do not activate this enhancement, milestone tasks are treated like standard tasks.

• Filter for Milestone Tasks

When filtering project elements in the Structure view of a project or the multi-project monitor, you can filter milestone tasks by setting the Milestone indicator in the filter. This enhancement ensures that all other project element types are deselected automatically when you set this indicator so that only tasks are filtered.
If you do not activate this enhancement, all project element types are filtered unless you deselect them manually.

• Display of Original Task Data in the Detail View of Mirrored Tasks

Original task data such as the responsible role or resource, duration and work, status, priority and relevancy for approval can now be displayed in the Detail view of the mirrored task.
If you do not activate this enhancement, only the dates transferred from the original task and a link to the original task are displayed in the Detail view of the mirrored task.

• Multiple Deletion of Project Roles

When editing projects, you can select and delete multiple roles at a time. Select the roles in the Role Overview or the Details subview of the Resources view, and choose the corresponding pushbutton.
If you do not activate this enhancement, you can only delete one role at a time.

• Automatic Refresh of Project Management Dashboards

All dashboards in Project Management are refreshed automatically when a project or project element is saved.
If you do not activate this enhancement, you need to manually trigger the refresh.

• Optimization of the Structure Display for Your Screen Resolution

You can adjust the number of lines displayed in the structure tree and the Table subview of the project structure by specifying your screen resolution in the general user settings in the field Structure Display Optimized for Resolution.
For more information, see SAP Library for SAP Portfolio and Project Management on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/ppm50 under Project Management -> Functions on the Start Page -> User Settings.

• Display of Gantt Chart Optimized for Screen Size

The size of the Gantt chart displayed in the Graphic subview of the project Structure view, or in the multi-project monitor, automatically adjusts to the size of the screen window. This ensures that the available space is fully used. You can scroll within the Gantt chart.

• Enhanced Where-Used List for GUIDs in SAP Portfolio and Project Management

The creation of where-used lists for GUIDs, which is carried out using report DPR_GUID_ANALYZE, has been enhanced in the following ways:

• On the selection screen, the field Database Tables has been added. This enables you to improve report performance by restricting the selection to those tables relevant to the current application object.

• When you navigate from the where-used list to a table and execute the report again for one of the GUIDs in this table, the table, as well as the object type of the original GUID, are displayed as breadcrumbs above the new where-used list.

• To ensure that the fixed values cannot be changed in the project or project template, adjust your field control profile in the following way in Customizing for SAP Portfolio and Project Management under Project Management -> Global Enhancements to Project Elements -> Set Up Field Control:

For object categories TTO (Operative task) and TTT (Task in project template), go to the View Field Ctrl Add. To Addit. Conditions.
Create entries for the relevant fields of the external structure DPR_TS_API_TASK_O using condition C050 (Task is Milestone), and assign the appropriate field control properties.
