Former Member

Dear community, 

On customer and internal projects we can assign the following roles to different people: Project Manager, Project Partner, Project Controller and Project Accountant.

I know that Project Manager and Project Controller can validate timesheets for instance, but I don't have any other details.

Does anyone know who can do what when assigned to each role?

Thanks in advance, 

Veronica

Hi Veronica,

Project Manager - Responsible for the Project

Project Partner: Monitors all related projects

Project Controllers: Access the project from controlling perspective

Project Accountant: Controls billing activities

Project Manager -

Responsible for Create/Manage/Monitor Customer or Internal Projects.

Create project(Customer/Internal) with information such as Service org, Cost Center, Profit center etc..

The system displays Service organization of the Project Manager by default when he creates the project.

Has dedicated Mobile app " SAP Project Companion for Manager" for IOS to communicate with team members

Monitor projects for Financial performance(Cost, Revenue, Margin Etc.,)

Set Forecast month, to review and prepare for project forecast.

Assign resources to work packages. If Resource management has been activated, he can perform resource assignment.

Create/Modify/Reject billing requests

Project Controllers, Project Accountant, Project Partner - Can be maintained for a project. All have access to the project for which they have been assigned.

Analyze Project Margins - Key Stakeholders such as Project Managers and Project Controllers can benefit from project reporting.

Sort or Filter- Projects/SO can be sorted or filtered based on Project Controllers, Project Accountant, Project Partner.

Hope this information Helps!!

Thank You,

Vijay

Hello Veronica

The three project roles / fields (Project Partner, Project Accountant, and Project Controller) provide the ability to assign key project stakeholders who may need to collaborate or participate in project planning / execution / governance. These are indicative of typical stakeholders in a project.
