A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is the central, hierarchical model of a project in SAP's Project System (PS) module. Its primary purposes include structuring the project work and serving as the main object for planning and control. It allows for the allocation of budgets to specific project elements (D). The hierarchical nature of the WBS facilitates the roll-up or evaluation of aggregated data (such as costs and dates) from lower-level elements to higher ones for reporting (A). Furthermore, specific responsibilities can be assigned to each WBS element, helping to define responsibilities and track accountability within the project team (E).

B. To schedule warehouse tasks: This is incorrect. Warehouse tasks, such as picking and putaway, are managed and scheduled within the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module, not the Project System's WBS.

C. To manage equipment: This is incorrect. Individual pieces of equipment are managed using equipment master records within the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) or Plant Maintenance (PM) module.

revenues

and payments

as well as for budgeting" (confirms D) and "the basis for organization and coordination in the project." The master data for a WBS element includes fields for organizational assignment like "Person Responsible" (confirms E).
