Progress Tracking (New)

Use

As of SAP R/3 Enterprise PLM Extension 1.10 (EA_APPL 110), the Progress Tracking function is available as part of the Project System and Materials Management.

Progress Tracking enables you to closely monitor the progress of network components in the Project System and purchase orders in Materials Management. By tracking events that you have defined yourself in Customizing for Progress Tracking or in the Progress Tracking function itself, you gain improved control over the progress of your network components or purchase orders. For example, for tracking a purchase order you could create events for internal occurrences such as issuing a purchase order. For tracking a network component, your events could include goods issue, and goods receipt. Scheduling dates for events allows you to analyze variances and recognize problems early on. You can also stipulate dates for events using enhancements for either system dates or external data.

The Progress Tracking function has a clearly arranged and intuitive interface that is independent of the current object that you are tracking. The appearance of the interface is flexible: You can adapt the initial selection screen to your own needs by including customer-specific fields and on the main Progress Tracking screen, which is made up of two SAP List Viewer (ALV) overviews, you can define and maintain user or application-specific layouts.

Although Progress Tracking contains all the capabilities of the Monitoring Dates function that is found in the Project System in SAP Release 4.6, Progress Tracking has a much more generic approach that allows it to be used for other objects, such as purchase orders.

In comparison to Monitoring Dates, Progress Tracking offers among other things:

• Comprehensive Customizing for creating default settings

• A far more attractive user interface, for which user and application- specific layouts can be created and where it is possible to filter, group and total the displayed entries

• The option of including customer-specific fields

• A multitude of BAdIs which provide diverse options for fulfilling particular customer requirements
