💡 Top Tips to Prepare
- Master the material requirement planning (MRP) process in the context of projects, focusing on individual and group MRP for WBS elements.
- Thoroughly understand the configuration behind assembly processing, especially the requirement class and requirement type settings.
- Practice differentiating between valuated and non-valuated project stock and the corresponding account assignment categories used in purchasing documents.
- Focus on the integration points and document flow between PS, MM, SD, and PP modules, as questions often test these cross-functional processes.

📖 About this Domain
This domain covers the foundational objects of the SAP Project System module. It focuses on the creation and configuration of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and networks. These structures are the backbone for project planning, execution, and controlling in SAP S/4HANA.
🎓 What You Will Learn
- You will learn to create and maintain the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), which provides the hierarchical model of a project.
- You will understand how to define networks, activities, and their relationships to represent the project's process flow.
- You will learn to use central tools like the Project Builder (CJ20N) and the Project Planning Board for structuring projects.
- You will explore the use of standard structures, such as standard WBS and standard networks, as templates for operative projects.
🛠️ Skills You Will Build
- You will build the skill to define a project and create its hierarchical WBS within the SAP S/4HANA system.
- You will gain proficiency in creating network plans, defining activity sequences, and managing dependencies.
- You will develop the ability to configure project profiles and coding masks to control project creation and numbering.
- You will learn to leverage standard structures to accelerate the setup of new, operative projects.
💡 Top Tips to Prepare
- Master the Project Builder (CJ20N) transaction, as it is the central tool for creating and maintaining all project structures.
- Focus on the control data within a WBS element, such as the account assignment element and planning element indicators.
- Clearly differentiate the purpose and processing of networks, activities, and activity elements.
- Practice defining a project coding mask (OPSJ) and understand how it governs the structure of the project number.
