• Key Concepts: 
  Total commitment is a concept used in SAP Resource Pool Management (RPM) to define the total amount of resources that are available for a given project. It is the sum of all resources that have been allocated to the project, including both internal and external resources. This total commitment is then used to calculate the project's resource utilization rate. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use total commitment in SAP RPM, you must first define the project's resource requirements. This includes defining the number of resources needed, their roles, and their availability. Once this is done, you can then allocate resources to the project and calculate the total commitment. This can be done manually or automatically using SAP RPM's resource allocation feature. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating total commitment, it is important to consider both internal and external resources. Internal resources are those that are already part of your organization, while external resources are those that are sourced from outside your organization. Additionally, it is important to consider any additional costs associated with external resources, such as travel expenses or training costs. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Total commitment is closely related to resource utilization rate, which is a measure of how efficiently a project's resources are being used. Resource utilization rate is calculated by dividing the total commitment by the total available resources for a given project. Additionally, total commitment can also be used to calculate resource availability rate, which is a measure of how much of a project's resources are available for use at any given time.
