Planning and SAP

Jithin,

I am not an expert in SAP however it is generally interfaced to P6.It is used for all Financial data such as Works Orders for ordering Material, collecting timesheets and is the master data for collecting Actuals, cost and units. It is interfaced with P6 so that the Progress of activities can be synchronised with the spend in man-hours and cost. Earned value statistics are then produced via a reporting engine. Depending on the complexity this is generally another toolset again interfaced to SAP such as Ecosys, Open Plan Cobra, Dassian etc. P6 can do a limited amount of Earned Value it all depends on the complexity of your requierments and the capability of your interfaces.

A job profile looking for an expert in both is asking for a high end commodity as both toolsets are very complex to interface and run as an administrator. It can definately be used in EPC Projects.

Hope this helps

Thanks Robert,

Was under confusion of what SAP would do to Planning. So now I got an aidea of what it would interface with. So It is a complext procedure.

Do you happen to know any book or website which can expalin how to interface and what it would give as an Output. You did give a summuray but I would like to learn in detail or atleast know. I dont think I would be using it.

Thanks

Jithin
