High- Level Specification

Functional Overview

 Standard SAP WBS element tables offer foundational fields for project structuring, but they often need to be enhanced for business-specific attributes. Within the Syensqo business solution, some custom fields are introduced to capture critical dimensions such as financial nature (e.g., CAPEX/OPEX), operational context (e.g., Maintenance Event), and legal entity mapping (e.g., Trading Company Code). These fields will enable reporting, better compliance and cross-steam integration.

Scope and Objectives

Scope of the enhancement are-

• To add three new fields to the WBS element master data i.e. CAPEX/OPEX, Maintenance Event & Trading Company Code.
• Enable data entry, validation, and storage in the appropriate database tables.

Objective- Enable additional Syensqo specific fields for classification of WBS elements by financial nature (CAPEX/OPEX), operational context (e.g., Maintenance Event), and legal entity mapping (Trading Company Code).

N/A

Assumptions

• The addition of Z-fields within the standard table structure ensures that standard SAP functionality remains unaffected.
• The custom fields 'Maintenance Event' and 'Trading Company Code' will leverage SAP’s standard F4 search functionality.
• Newly appended Z-fields to the PRPS table will also be incorporated into the field catalog used for validation and substitution rules.
• Newly appended Z-Fields to be available for WBS Element Field Selection.
• Newly appended Z-fields to the PRPS table must be incorporated into all relevant standard SAP Project System (PS) reports e.g. in ALV reports
• Newly appended Z-fields to the PRPS (WBS Element Master Data) table must also be explicitly extended to all WBS elements relevant CDS views.
• Ensure fields CAPEX/OPEX & Maintenance Event for data migration purpose.
