• Key Concepts: 
  Network is a term used in the SAP Project System (PS) component to describe a graphical representation of the activities and relationships between them. It is used to plan, monitor, and control projects. A network consists of activities, milestones, and relationships between them. Activities are the smallest unit of work that can be planned and executed in a project. Milestones are points in time that mark the completion of an activity or a group of activities. Relationships are the logical connections between activities and milestones. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PS, networks are used to plan projects by defining activities, milestones, and relationships between them. The network can be created manually or automatically using the Network Generator. Once the network is created, it can be used to calculate the duration of the project, identify critical paths, and simulate different scenarios. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a network in SAP PS, it is important to consider the dependencies between activities and milestones. This will help ensure that the project is planned accurately and efficiently. It is also important to consider resource availability when creating a network as this will affect the duration of the project.
