Use

This process describes how to integrate SAP Product Lifecycle Management - Project System (PLM PS) with SAP Portfolio and Project Management.

Importing Projects from SAP PLM PS to SAP Portfolio and Project Management

The nature of the data imported from SAP PLM PS to SAP Portfolio and Project Management depends on what the user selects in the front-end application. All data movement is controlled through the mapping table maintained in Customizing. Users can import tasks, roles, resources, and teams in any combination. These objects are transferred as they are maintained in the SAP PLM PS base system.

Before the import can take place, all configurations maintained in the SAP PLM PS base system must be transferred to SAP Portfolio and Project Management. This includes the project type, role types, and any specific configuration that determines how the data is stored or calculated.

Data transfer takes place as follows:

SAP PLM PS    SAP Portfolio and Project Management

Project definition    Project

WBS element    Task

Network header    Task

Network activity    Task/role

Network activity element    Task/role

Milestone    Task

Activity milestone    Task

Resource    Resource

Work center    Team

You can also transfer SAP PLM PS project data to the portfolio item by maintaining the mapping table entries in the relevant Customizing step.

Exporting Projects from SAP Portfolio and Project Management to SAP PLM PS

During export, a template must be selected from the SAP PLM PS base system. The selected template is copied and its start, end, and description are set as the SAP Portfolio and Project Management portfolio item planned start, planned finish, and description respectively.

Updating Projects in SAP Portfolio and Project Management

Once you have imported projects to SAP Portfolio and Project Management, you can update projects using the report Projects Batch Update Program (/RPM/PROJECTS_BATCH_UPDATE).

For more information, see the documentation for this report.
