SAP Project Management Reports

I had the opportunity of reading stuff on SAP Project Management Reports when I became the team lead for an implementation. I found the material important and added with it my practical SAP experience. This helped me to execute the module reporting efficiently. The following is the crux of my SAP experience briefly.

 

SAP Project Management Reports consists of a set reports and of the deliverables which are submitted to  the SAP client on behalf of the team.  It consists of Periodic reports  w.r.t. the Project Deliverables and the final report.

 

Periodic Reports

 

Periodic reports are required and must be submitted at the end of each reporting period. These reports contains:

 

1- an overview of the activities carried out during the reporting period related to SAP implementation,

2- describes the progress w.r.t project objectives,

3- the progress towards the milestones [Accelerated SAP Roadmap- also called ASAP Roadmap in SAP Project] ,

4- deliverables set for the period and

5- executive summary.

 

The frequently submitted reports or periodic management reports also include :

 

1- a detailed justification of the costs incurred and of the

2- resources deployed by each contractor linking them to activities implemented and justification of their necessity in the project,

3- the financial statements from each contractor and

4- a summary financial report consolidating the costs of the contractors. 

5- schedule of deliverables has to be submitted to the Client . They are approved normally with the periodic reviews of project progress.  

 

Final Report

 

The Project manager has to submit the final report to the SAP Client after the end of the project. The final report summarises the project’s activities during its full duration. A final activity report, covers  main aspects of the work, objectives, results  and results of final plan according to the ASAP Roadmap for using and disseminating the knowledge.
 

Executive Summary

 

Executive summary is normally a separate document but submitted with the final report, It is normally not more than four to five pages and has quality to enable direct publication by the Client. It should include

 

1-a summary description of project objectives,

2-contractors involved,

3-co-ordinator contact details,

4-jobs performed,

5-results achieved so far and expected end results,

6- Knowledge Transfer Details.

 

You need to include if available diagrams or photos illustrating the work of the project, a project logo and a reference to the project public website.
