These areas consist of WBS elements that are linked in the hierarchy, and form a subtree in the overall WBS. This is called a subproject and is identified separately. Each subproject has an identifier. Two subprojects with the same project definition cannot have the same identifier.

• Key Concepts: 
  A subproject is a component of a larger project in the SAP Project System (PS) component. It is used to break down a large project into smaller, more manageable parts. Subprojects can be used to assign tasks to different teams or individuals, and they can also be used to track the progress of the overall project.

  Subprojects can be created in the SAP Project System (PS) component. To create a subproject, you must first create a main project and then create the subproject within that main project. You can assign tasks and resources to each subproject, and you can also track the progress of each subproject.
