Project Change Request Feature/APP/Functionality (Portfolio & Project Management)

[BogdanSipos]

Dear All,

I was wondering if there are any standard functionalities/fiori apps that can support on the Project Change Request Task.
The question here revolves around having a tool that can handle change requests on a project (PPM Item and/or Initiative) in regards to /re-planning/new estimations on the approved scope and inherent budget (financial cost and hours), timeline (milestones & decision points). - This would imply the creation of the request, approval flow (authorizations), data update, (documentation storage?), but also some reporting layers e,g. pending changes, approved changes, rejected changes, number of changes per item, etc. 

I think I've seen some posts at some point about a similar topic - but in SAP Commercial PM. Hence I was wondering if this functionality is readily/standard available for the Portfolio & Project Management module, or if there is a possibility for it to be created.

Thank you in advance! 
Best regards

Bogdan

Hi Bogdan, 

I understand you are talking about SAP S/4 HANA private cloud, where your are using PPM. 

As per my experience, you can create the different financial plans at ppm item level and then push to PS project under different version in that way you can be able to keep a track of all the changes. 

You can easily compare those versions in SAP PS and then required approvals are processed. 

Hope this helps

Regards

Hi,
Thanks for the comment - what I am interested in is the financial and capacity planning on item and initiative level - so not the detailed cost planning pushed to PS. 
Essentially, a Project Change Request tool where the PM can assess the current forecast/plan they have against the approved budget - and raise a request for change to either capacity planning, financial planning, milestones and decision points.
