What is SAP PS?

Full name

SAP Project System

Category

Finance & Core ERP

Typical roles

SAP PS Consultant, SAP PS-CO Consultant, SAP Investment Management Consultant

SAP PS (Project System) structures, plans and controls projects. Projects are modelled with Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) for cost and budget, and networks with activities for scheduling and resources.

PS helps engineering, construction and capital-intensive organisations keep projects within budget, track commitments, bill customers by milestone or resource usage, and settle costs to assets or profitability.

In S/4HANA, PS remains available, and many companies also evaluate SAP Commercial Project Management or Enterprise Portfolio and Project Management for advanced scenarios. Investment management links capital budgeting to PS.
