The basic setup in Primavera only has certain rules:

  • All scheduling is done in Primavera, which is the owner of the master schedule.
  • Relationships and detailed resource assignments are defined in Primavera.
  • Detailed activities are set up below LOE activities that tie to SAP activities.
  • Progress is entered in Primavera.
  • Resources are loaded from SAP work center records, including their standard cost rates.

Top 6 Questions to Ask
4. What do you know about Primavera?

Let's not assume that a vendor is an expert in Primavera. One may be surprised, particularly when looking at the interface as a mainly technical issue. Often internal IT departments who get concerned about "throwing good money after bad money" have the tendency to look at the integration issue from that side. Some EAI vendors are the same, and companies (mainly service organizations) that have worked with SAP for many years - but not with Primavera.

 

This question has two dimensions. First, how extensively have you worked with the Primavera Java API? Second, how well do you know how to map fields and processes in Primavera with SAP?
