  • Key Concepts: 
    Dependency type is a feature of SAP Project Management (SRD-PRO-PMN) that allows users to define the relationship between two activities. Dependency types are used to determine the sequence of activities in a project and can be used to create a timeline for the project. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use dependency type, users must first define the activities in their project. Once the activities have been defined, users can then create a dependency between two activities by selecting the appropriate dependency type from the drop-down menu. The available dependency types are Finish-to-Start (FS), Start-to-Start (SS), Finish-to-Finish (FF), and Start-to-Finish (SF). 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating dependencies between activities, it is important to consider the order in which the activities will be completed. For example, if Activity A must be completed before Activity B can begin, then a Finish-to-Start dependency should be used.
