Project Definition
Project Definition Governance for Global Project Portfolios
Design project-definition standards that support global reporting, legal/accounting boundaries and lifecycle governance without overloading project IDs or profiles with local exceptions.
A global template inherited 17 project profiles from regional legacy systems. Most differed only in reporting fields. Consolidating to four process-based profiles simplified governance and reduced testing effort.
Project Definition: Organizational Control and Project Profile
Understand the project definition as the top-level SAP PS object that controls organizational assignments, project profile, defaults and overall project identity.
A program created hundreds of projects with the wrong controlling-area-related default because the project profile was copied from a pilot template. Correcting the template before the next wave prevented repeated downstream master-data changes.
