  • Key Concepts: 
    Project subcategory is a feature of SAP Portfolio and Project Management (PPM-PFM) that allows users to group projects into categories. This helps to organize projects and make them easier to find. It also allows users to assign different levels of access to each category, so that only certain users can view or edit projects within that category. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To create a project subcategory, go to the “Projects” tab in the PPM-PFM interface. Select “Create Subcategory” from the drop-down menu. Enter a name for the subcategory and select the appropriate access level for it. Once the subcategory is created, you can add projects to it by selecting “Add Project” from the drop-down menu. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating project subcategories, it is important to consider who will need access to each category. For example, if you are creating a subcategory for confidential projects, you may want to restrict access to only certain users.
