• Key Concepts: 
  A work package is a unit of work in the SAP Project System (PS) component. It is a collection of activities that are grouped together to form a single unit of work. It is used to plan, monitor, and control the progress of a project. Work packages are typically used to break down large projects into smaller, more manageable tasks. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Work packages can be created in the PS component by defining the activities that make up the package. The activities can then be assigned to resources and tracked for progress. The progress of each work package can be monitored and reported on using the PS component. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating work packages, it is important to ensure that they are broken down into small enough tasks that can be easily managed and tracked. It is also important to ensure that each task is assigned to the appropriate resource and that all tasks are completed within the specified timeframe.
