  • Key Concepts: 
    WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) scheduling is a feature of the SAP Project System (PS) component that allows users to plan and manage projects. It enables users to break down a project into smaller tasks and assign resources to each task. This helps users to better manage their projects, as they can track progress and identify any potential issues. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use WBS scheduling, users must first create a WBS element in the PS component. This element will serve as the root of the project structure. From there, users can create sub-elements that represent the individual tasks of the project. Each task can then be assigned resources, such as personnel or materials, and have its own start and end dates. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a WBS element, it is important to ensure that it is properly structured. This will help ensure that tasks are properly organized and resources are allocated correctly. Additionally, it is important to regularly review the progress of each task to ensure that the project is on track.
