To allocate overhead rates to a WBS element, you must assign a costing sheet to the WBS element. A costing sheet is a tool that allows you to define and calculate overhead costs based on various criteria, such as plant, company code, material origin, or order type. You can assign a costing sheet to a WBS element in the Control Data tab of the WBS element master data.

When you create a service activity in your network, you can enter a service specification, an overall limit, and a vendor. The service specification defines the scope and details of the service to be performed. The overall limit sets a maximum value for all unplanned services that can be entered during service entry. The vendor specifies the external service provider who will perform the service. Reference:https://help.sap.com/doc/0f069b2e08b748f1b480d4c8b46c3c49/100/en-US/6a7a9f0a6e421014e10000000a174cb4.html

Planned costs are calculated for internally-processed network activities based on the formula for costing in the work center, the activity output price for the activity type and cost center assigned to the work center, and the duration of the activity. If any of these factors are missing or incorrect, no planned costs will be displayed. The Determine Costsindicator in the network header also controls whether planned costs are calculated or not. If it is not set, no planned costs will be displayed. Reference:https://help.sap.com/doc/0f069b2e08b748f1b480d4c8b46c3c49/100/en-US/6a7a9f0a6e421014e10000000a174cb4.html

Capacity requirements are determined by using the control key of an activity. The control key is an object that defines various control parameters for an activity, such as scheduling type, confirmation type, costing relevance, or capacity requirements determination. The capacity requirements determination indicator in the control key specifies whether capacity requirements are calculated for an activity based on its work or duration. The capacity requirements are then used for capacity planning and leveling.

In the SAP Project System, there are different sets of dates that can be scheduled for a network. Some of these sets of dates are:

Planned dates: These are the dates that you enter manually for the network activities and relationships. You can use planned dates to define your own scheduling scenario that may differ from the system-calculated dates.

Forecast dates: These are the dates that are calculated by the system based on the current progress and status of the network activities and relationships. You can use forecast dates to estimate the future dates of the network based on the actual data and remaining work.

The approval of a service entry sheet and the approval of a goods receipt are both transactions that can be used to post actual costs for external processing.”References: 3

The project planning board is a graphical tool that allows you to plan and monitor projects in a Gantt chart view. You can use the project planning board to display capacity requirements and maintenance orders that are related to project activities. You can also display other objects such as WBS elements, networks, activities, milestones, production orders, sales orders, purchase orders, and so on.

To set up the requirement date for the component so that it will be in stock 5 days in advance of the assembly activity, you should set up the requirement date aligned with the activity start date and a negative offset of 5 days. The requirement date is the date on which a material component is required for an activity. The offset is a value that shifts the requirement date forward or backward from the activity start or finish date. A negative offset means that the requirement date is earlier than the activity date.

Mass change (CNMASS) is a powerful tool that allows you to change multiple fields in multiple objects at once. You can use it to change fields in project definitions, WBS elements, networks, activities, milestones, and PRTs.”References: 3
