SAP PS: Structures

SAP Project Systems: Structures is an online tutorial library provided by SAP AG. This SAP PS tutorial is intended for SAP System Administrators, Project Systems (PS) developer and SAP technology Consultants.
This SAP Project Systems (PS) tutorial explains you about the PS component Structures and its purpose of precisely structuring project activities for better planning, control, monitoring and final success. With the help of this SAP PS documentation you can learn Work breakdown structure (WBS), networks standard structures, and project builder, etc. Moreover you will learn various interfaces to project management and status management, etc.
