Why Noveco epm? Why do you need Noveco epm for project Management in SAP? SAP Project Systems (PS) functional gaps: 1. Estimation or Cost Planning is cumbersome and contradictory. Most SAP PS customers use: Controlling type transactions (e.g. CJR2, CJ40) to plan cost on WBS Network Planning, inherited in PS from PP (production planning) on network activities 2. Cost forecasting or financial re-planning is not functional 3. No project variation management solution 4. No single central place to manage your project (you must run dozen of transactions: Project Builder, Planning Board, Cost Plan, Reports etc. you must remember your project numbers all the time ) 5. No comprehensive project reports out of the box
Why Noveco epm? Noveco epm is a family of seamlessly integrated software components designed to complement and enhance SAP's standard Project System (PS) functionality, with a focus on easy project planning, forecasting, variation management and reporting directly in SAP ECC Noveco epm enables management of your project lifecycle directly inside your ERP system (no other tools needed) Execution l l l Estimating Planning Budgeting Effective Project Management l l l Reporting Analysis Settlement Forecasting Monitoring
Why Noveco epm? PS (Project System) is one of the most integrated modules in SAP ERP Capacity and Resource Panning Noveco epm enhances SAP Project System enabling integrated project management directly in SAP ECC You will not need any other tools like excel, BI, BO etc. to manage your project lifecycle in SAP.

Project: WBS elements with networks In this example Easy Cost Planning (SAP Standard) used to create project Cost Plan Note that Easy Cost Plan can be automatically generated via interface from an estimating system Easy Cost Planning
Project Cost Versions Cost Estimation is saved in costing version Multiple Costing versions can be created during different stages of planning and estimation In this example version N01 is used to keep an approved Original Budget Select Costing version
Easy Cost Planning in details Easy Cost Planning allows you to plan multiple resources on one WBS or Network Activity : Multiple Internal labour types, external services, Material, Plant etc.
Easy Cost Planning: plan multiple resources and materials Plan labour, materials and equipment on Network activities These lines can be generated automatically from your Design Estimate PM orders will be assigned to that network activity to carry out the work

Project Manager Workbench Current Budget = Estimate + Variations + Adjustments
Noveco epm: Project Manager Workbench EAC = Actual Cost + Commitments + Cost To Complete In this tab Costs are shown aggregated from subelements and grouped by Value Category, Resource type and Cost Elements
Project Manager Workbench Cost grouped by Value Categories and Resources and broken down by period
Project Manager Workbench Navigate to WBS 110KV Sub-Station All costs are aggregated from sub-elements and grouped by Value Category, Resource and Cost Elements ( total by all periods)
Project Manager Workbench: Plan by Period Here you can change plan by period of Budgeted Costs, Cost To Complete and Commitments. You can choose Value Category (e.g. LABOUR) or can be very specific by selecting Resource or even Cost Element. This way you can distribute plan cost of, say LABOUR and MATERIALS differently Depending what element you choose in the project structure, you can plan for one object (WBS) or for a work package (WBS and its sub-elements)
Project Manager Workbench: Plan by Period In this tab you can view key financial values (Budget, Cost To Complete, Actuals, Commitments etc.) broken down by period
Project Manager Workbench: Plan by Period By changing Cost Type selection you can view Cost To Complete by Value Category broken down by period

Work Orders: Execute Work Capital Project Construction Sub-Station In our demo example: Network Activities are used for cost planning and forecasting PM Orders are used for work execution and cost collection Noveco Project Manager Workbench automatically rolls up actual costs and purchasing commitments from PM Orders to Network Activitiy and recalculates remaining Cost and Work To Complete
Workbench: Automatic CTC recalculation Automatic Management of Cost (and Work) To Complete is one of the key functions. Project Manager Workbench rolls up actuals from assigned PM orders and automatically reduces Cost To Complete (CTC) on Network Activities Cost To Complete not spent in the past periods will be automatically rolled into the future Actual Costs Posted to PM Order. Noveco Workbench automatically reduces Cost To Complete on Network activity

Project Manager Workbench: Adjust Cost Forecasts Note. Cost (and Work) To Complete had already been changed automatically by the Workbench from actual costs posted to PM Orders You can manually adjust it here only if needed: switch to change mode and enter remaining work and cost to complete. Estimated Cost At Completion is adjusted too.
Project Manager Workbench: EAC and Budget Deficit Estimated Cost at Completion has changed It now exceeds Current Budget by $6250,00 or by 2,04%
