For setting up the PS MRS Integration, the Step 0 to Step 4 will be same as given in article Set up Planning board in 15 minutes!
After this, the next steps would be:
Step 5: Implement the note 1135512 for PS integration. This note has automatic corrections as well as manual steps to be followed.
For the time being, just skip all the manual steps. Only follow the automatic corrections. Thus we will test the work center planning integration (Integration based on Work centers). Later on we will implement the manual steps also and we will thus activate the resource planning integration.
Step 6: Check that in CR03, the work center (that you plan to use) has the HRMS link to the org units.
Step 7: Define PS Integration relevant customizing in MRS:
a) Sources of Demand->Networks (Projects and WBS Elements)->Control Integration of Projects and WBS Elements in MRS - Here define if you want to integrate Projects and WBS elements or not.
b) Sources of Demand->Networks (Projects and WBS Elements)->Define resource planning relevance for networks - Here define if the network activities are relevent for MRS integration or not.
Note: In the Process variant field, the entries: Contact Person Process, Resource Planner Process and Background Resource Planning Process are all relevent for Resource Planning. They are NOT relevant for work center planning.
Hence for the time being, always select Not Relevant for Resource Planning.
Additionally, we also have separate check boxes for Resource planning and Capacity Planning (in the end). For the time being use only Capacity Planning check box for steering the integration.
Step 8: Create a Project, WBS Elements, Networks, Activities, Activity elements and relationships between them. Save the Project in CJ20N.
Step 9: Launch the planning board via transaction /MRSS/PLBOSRV. Here you should see the complete project hierarchy that you have created in step 8.
What have we tested?
With the above steps - we have validated following points:
- The minimum required customizing is maintained correctly.
- The MRS Integration works
- The work center and other configuration is maintained correctly.
- The integration notes are implemented correctly.
Troubleshooting:
The Order I created does not appear on the planning board - Check the customizing in step 7. Confirm the note in step 5 has been correctly implemented. If you still don't get the order... raise a flag!
