• Key Concepts: 
  The Dependency Editor is a tool in SAP Portfolio and Project Management (PPM-PFM) that allows users to create and manage dependencies between projects. Dependencies are relationships between two or more projects that affect the scheduling and execution of the projects. For example, a project may be dependent on the completion of another project before it can begin. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Dependency Editor can be accessed from the Project Details page in SAP PPM-PFM. From there, users can create new dependencies by selecting two or more projects and specifying the type of dependency. The types of dependencies available are Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish, and Start-to-Finish. Once the dependency is created, users can view and manage it from the Dependency Editor. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating dependencies, it is important to consider the impact they will have on the scheduling of projects. For example, if a project is dependent on another project finishing before it can start, then the dependent project will be delayed until the other project is completed. It is also important to consider how changes to one project may affect other projects that are dependent on it.
