BPD PS& TM
Purpose: The objective of this document is to summarise the validated Concert Programme business processes for Project Systems and Time Sheets including:
β€’ Business scope and requirements
β€’ Site specific variations
β€’ Detailed business activity
β€’ High level roles and skills
β€’ Integration points
 
Scope: In scope are the key activities of Project Systems and Time Sheets including Project Creation, Project Templates, Budgeting, Project Execution, Cost Allocation, Time Sheet Management and Project Closing. The scope of the Project Systems and Time Sheeting workstream covers:
β€’ The Consolidation of activities from Agresso to SAP – this includes all activities of the JM Davy business plus moving the time sheeting for the RD&E business area to SAP
β€’ Implementation of Project Systems for the management of R&D activities in line with the move of RD&E business time sheeting moving from Agresso to SAP
β€’ Implementation of Project Systems for the management of Formox Plant Designs and move of this business to the use of time sheeting in SAP
β€’ Other parts of CT will continue to use Internal Orders/their current processes for managing project type activities such as CAPEX projects.
Summary:
All Project Systems and Time Sheeting processes in the defined business areas (JM Davy, RD&E, Formox Plant Designs) will be done on the Concert SAP system by the roles involved e.g., project manager, customer services etc., with interaction with the other roles e.g., finance, estimating etc. and the Master Data Team. Some processes will continue to take place out of the system using tools currently in place such as KeyedIn, Primavera, Excel.

2. Introduction, Purpose and Scope
2.1. Document Purpose
This Business Process Documentation has been developed by Project Concert specifically in relation to the delivery of this programme. This document provides a detailed description of the organisation's related business processes and sub processes. The key business drive for this document is to provide a structured schematic that can be used for development and future operational reference.
This document aims to outline the business processes, interfaces, controls, measures, systems, and roles for the business processes covering Project Systems and Time Sheeting. This document covers the scope indicated below.
This document provides the details to support:
β€’ Guiding principles to design the future state of the CT business functions and more specifically Project Systems and Time Sheeting with the enablement of SAP technology
β€’ Process flow diagrams with associated process narratives
β€’ Agreed specific Project Systems and Time Sheeting requirements in the context of what is to be designed for the business functions and configured in SAP
β€’ Agreed site specific requirements in the context of what is to be designed for the business functions and configured in SAP
2.2. Document Scope
This document scope covers the L4 business processes for the Project Systems and Time Sheeting process area in the identified business areas.
2.3. Document Architecture
A BPD section will exist for each of the process areas that are identified in section 4.5
The intention of each BPD section is to detail:
β€’ The process area scope
β€’ A summary of the key changes agreed through the workshops for each process area
β€’ The level 3 / 4 process inventory (otherwise abbreviated to L3 / L4)
β€’ The design decisions for each component impacting the operating model
 
3. Business Context
The following sections outline the context for the programme.
3.1. Concert Programme Vision
The goal of the Concert programme is to enable the delivery of the CONCERT business case, decommission legacy ERPs, Harmonise and Improve SAP processes for Catalyst Technologies (CT) Business Unit.
The Concert Project will deliver value design that supports:
o A strategic standard technology platform supported by SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 7, fit for the future of our business
o A consistent Enterprise and data design (i.e., chart of accounts design), underpinned by robust data controls and governance
o Harmonized and Improved sales, procurement, finance, manufacturing, logistics, maintenance, R&D and Licensing processes and controls
o Harmonized and Improved transparency of reporting within ECC
o A single version of the truth for financial reporting, compliance, and control
o Vastly improved insight into our business drivers, allowing us to make the right decisions earlier
o Business driven change to enable the adoption of consistent and leading SAP practices
At the end of Concert programme, there will be a step change from how the CT business works today.
 
3.2. Design Principles
The Concert Programme will be based these 15 key Design Principles:
Theme No Design Principal Description
Value Based Design and Build
1 Concert scope is bounded by the Catalyst Technologies Business unit; it will prioritise scope that achieve the goals of β€œHarmonisation”, β€œImprovement” and β€œConsolidation” prioritised based on value (maximise benefit, maximise ROI and minimise implementation cost)
2 Scope classified as achieving β€œHarmonisation” will adopt the best of what exists today within CT business
3 Scope classified as achieving β€œImprovement” will either adapt from Group / JM Standards / Unify or from Industry reference models / SAP Standard Best Practice
4 Scope classified as achieving β€œConsolidation” will adopt the target SAP design (incl. any integrated applications)
5 Concert Scope should consider vendor roadmaps and end of life dates to avoid regret spend on obsolete technology.
Business Led Adoption 6 CT BPEs (Business Process Experts) and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) will own and govern the Concert design
Leverage JM and Global Best Practice Approach 7 Concert design will not compromise health & safety, regulatory compliance, controls, and service continuity
8 Group / JM standards / Unify processes will be adapted for β€œImprovement” scope
9 Concert design will align with the JM Target Architecture
CT Process Design aligned to Global Framework 10 Concert will establish a new CT Business Process Master List (BPML) that defines the E2E processes and numbering taxonomy for the CT business
11 CT BPML will cover the full E2E processes down-to Level 1 to Level 3. BPML Level 4 and below will only be defined for prioritised Concert scope items
12 Levels 1 to 5 of the CT BPML will follow the globally agreed process architecture levels and design standards
13 Concert design aligned to agreed target operating model and CT organisational changes needed to realise the Concert Business Case
Fit to Standard Approach
14 Processes designed for cross-site standardisation while minimising site-specific variants / localisations
15 Concert design will minimise customisation to reduce the cost and complexity of the solution
Table 3 1: Represents the overarching Concert Design Principles
Figure 1 - Represents the overarching Concert Design Principles & Themes
 
4. Design Scope
4.1. Business Process Framework
During prepare and high-level design, a future state level 1 and 2 process framework was defined and produced to provide a schematic view of how CT Organisation wished to transform the business to best deliver on the vision. This model gives a complete view of all the processes needed to be able to function as a chemical manufacturing organisation. The scope of the Concert programme is articulated in the diagram below. Selected scope items are agreed and documented within the BPML Baseline document
Other aspects of the process framework out of scope for Concert will be impacted through other initiatives.
 
4.2. Organisation Process Hierarchy
During Detailed Design the Concert Programme aims to provide Level 4 detail for impacted processes in accordance with business process definitions:
Figure 2 - CT Process Hierarchy
4.3. Concert Deployment Context / Scope
In order to provide greater detail, the L2 processes are linked to technical solutions across the seven Concert functional areas: RTR, PS/TS, STP, STC, LES, PM and PP/QM. Each area has differing technical solutions but will require business and system integration to function effectively. The deployment approach considers the linkage between Business Capability and Technical Capability and the separation required across the Releases that form the deployment approach for the technical and business deployment.
The deployment plan is being finalized and will be referenced later.
4.4. Process Area Scope
This BPD refers to the harmonisation, improvement, and consolidation of the Project System & Timesheets process area across the following businesses:
β€’ Licensing
β€’ Formox Plant Designs
β€’ R&D
4.4.1. Process Areas - In Scope
This BPD refers to the Project Systems and Time Sheeting process area. JM CT have determined that Project Systems and Time Sheeting will only be applied in the following business areas at this stage:
β€’ JM Davy – Consolidation from Agresso to SAP
β€’ RD&E
β€’ Formox Plant Designs
All other business areas will continue to use Internal Orders/existing processes to manage projects and time at this stage.
The Project Systems and Time Sheeting process covers the following areas.
β€’ Maintain Project Definition and Structures
β€’ Perform Project Budgeting & Planning
β€’ Capture Project Costs & Timesheets
β€’ Capture Project Revenue (Billing)
β€’ Project Monitoring
β€’ Project Month & Year End Close
β€’ Project Reporting
4.4.2. Scope Items – In Scope
Scope Item Number Scope Item name
3.9.3 Revenue Recognition – Davy & Formox
3.8.1 Perform booking of Time sheets - Licensing
3.8.2 Perform booking of Time sheets - Formox
3.8.4 Project Systems (Agresso).
3.8.5 Project Systems (Formox Plant Designs).
3.8.6 Project Cost Control Reports
4.4.3. Process Areas - Out of Scope
The following process areas have been agreed as out of scope for Concert Design for Projects and Timesheets:
β€’ CAPEX – the use of Project Systems and related Time Sheeting for CAPEX activities has been excluded from the scope of Concert at this stage.
β€’ Technical Services/Field Services – the use of Project Systems and related Time Sheeting for these areas has been excluded from the scope of Concert at this stage.
β€’ Other users of Internal Orders on the CT SAP system outside of RD&E and Formox Plant Designs are all excluded from the current Concert scope.
4.5. Site Related Scope
The implementation of Project Systems and Time Sheeting into the JM CT SAP system will be new for all sites as neither of these elements exist in the current CT SAP system. The different businesses do have similar concepts and systems in place but will all be moving to the new Project Systems and Time Sheeting solution in CT SAP.
Project Systems and Time Sheeting are being implemented across the Licensing, R&D and Formox Plant Design businesses and these have a presence across several CT sites. The following sections outline the different businesses, sites and processes that will be required.
The process β€œProject System & Timesheets” is an end-to-end business operation that involves, the following functions that have been identified and defined for the standard and harmonized project life cycle process to be followed by JM CT.
Project Lifecycle Harmonized and Standardized in SAP for JM CT

R&D
Currently R&D uses Agresso (the Licensing ERP system) to capture time related to R&D activities and Internal Orders in SAP for managing costs. The implementation of Project Systems and Time Sheeting on the CT SAP system will enable R&D projects to be tracked and managed within the system, replacing the Agresso time sheeting capability and enhancing the collection of costs associated with R&D activities. These costs will be able to be shared with KeyedIn.
R&D Sites
R&D activities take place across several the CT sites, including:
β€’ Savannah
β€’ Stockton
β€’ Chilton
β€’ Perstorp
β€’ Paddington
The following L3 processes will be required for the R&D business:

5. Detailed Design
5.1. Level 3 & 4 Business Processes
Level 4 processes have been designed to cover both business and system steps. The level 3 process has been used as a β€œgolden thread” throughout the design to bring together all the operating model elements. Each process map will document the activities, controls, roles, decisions, and systems in use, using the symbology shown below:
Figure 3 - Process Map Symbology
5.2. Level 3 Business Area – 08.01.01 Maintain Project Definition & Structures
5.2.1. Process: 08.01.01.01 Develop Project Policy and Procedure
To implement Project Systems and Time Sheeting in SAP for JM CT, several key elements required by these systems need to be defined.
The project structure within SAP allows the business to allocate and process all the information related to the execution of a project lifecycle. It enables the business to represent the different parts, phases and activities required to deliver a project.
To simplify the set-up of projects, templates will be developed to enable quick and consistent set-up of projects within SAP. The structures used in these templates will include:
1. Project definition
2. WBS elements
3. Networks and activities
4. Milestones
Providing templates with these structures will help the business to standardise the approach to the creation, monitoring and execution of projects within CT. Templates will be made available for each area of the business as required.
The templates and project structures will contain the elements required to manage projects within CT. The following table shows which main structures will be used across the different businesses.
Business Project Definition WBS Elements Networks/Activities Milestones
Licensing In scope In scope In scope In scope
Formox In scope In scope Out of scope Out of scope
R&D In scope In scope Out of scope Out of scope
As well as templates and common structures, a project Coding Mask has been developed. This is based on the Unify approach but has been adapted for CT use.
The project code being used by CT is as follows:
Refer to the FDD for full details of the coding structure and masks.
The project number will follow the guidelines below for different project types. This is designed to align with existing numbering in the CT businesses where appropriate.
Licensing (JM Davy) projects will be numbered using a 4-digit number preceded by 00 (XX according to the mask defined). This aligns with the existing 4-digit numbering used in the Licensing business.
Example: Existing project 2543 will be numbered as 002543. The 4-digit number will allow the large number of existing document templates used in Licensing to be retained with limited changes. Studies and Plant Upgrades will also use the same 4-digit numbers preceded by 00 but with a different project type detailed in the text Project Type field in the Root WBS element.
LI - will be the project type code used in the coding structure for all Licensing projects (projects, studies, plant upgrades) - this aligns with the current approach of these all taking consecutive numbers.
Within the project header it is possible to add a text field Project Type - the proposal here is to consider including a different text description to allow differentiation between projects, studies, and plant upgrades
The Project Type text field options will include:
β€’ Licensed Technology Project
β€’ Plant Upgrade
β€’ Study
The Project Type code in the coding will remain LI.
Licensing Proposals will use a 5-digit number preceded by an L and the Project Type code PS. This allows other businesses to use the same Project Type code (PS) and incorporate a different leading letter in the future. At this stage only L will be used for Licensing proposals. There is the option of using the Project Type text field in the Root WBS element if required as per Licensing projects.
Formox Plant Design projects will be numbered using a 3-digit number preceded by 000. This aligns with the existing 3-digit numbering used in the Formox business. Example: Existing project 218 will be numbered as 000218.
R&D projects that are in KeyedIn (NPI & PIM projects) will use a 6-digit number which will align with that used in KeyedIn. Where necessary leading zeros will be added to make project number 6 digits long. Example: Existing project PRJ1985 will be numbered as 001985. For R&D projects in KeyedIn the KeyedIn project number and the programme number will be captured in User Fields at WBS element level, e.g., 0521 (programme number) and PRJ1985 (project number) will be stored in the User Fields for this example project. Any reference to a workstream number will be stored in a User Field in the appropriate WBS element.
Segments: All relevant projects will be tagged with a Segment code. This provides an indication of the market segment that the project is associated with. This combined, where appropriate, with the customer will enable projects to be reported based on market segment. The segments are detailed in Appendix 7.1
Note: There is no flow diagram for this L4 process because this section defines the approach and structures that will support the creation of new projects.
5.2.2. Process: 08.01.01.02 Create and Maintain Projects
Create and Maintain Projects Overview
The Create and Maintain Projects process refers to the flow of events required to create and maintain projects and their associated structures within SAP by the different CT businesses.
Projects are being used in CT for the management of activities across the Licensing, R&D and Formox Plant Designs business areas. Projects are not being used for other areas such as CAPEX at this time but will be implemented in the future.
A project will be set up in SAP based on a request from the requestor. The requestor will need to provide sufficient information for the project to be created. This will include:
β€’ Project Name
β€’ Project Type
β€’ Responsible Person
Once a project has been approved, the request will be used to set up the project. Once the project has been set up the requestor will be notified that the project has been created and is now available for use in SAP.
If changes are required to a project, these can be requested or performed directly depending on the rights of the person concerned. Changes can be made to all elements of the project so enabling flexibility required for the different projects undertaken by CT businesses.
If a project is not available immediately then hours/costs can be booked to a proposal and then transferred to the appropriate WBS elements of the project once it is created. A similar process can be used to handle correction of costs if booked to the incorrect project. The off-system processes for these corrections would continue like today but with revisions where references are needed to WBS elements.
Key points:
There are likely to be additional fields required that will be reviewed during the realisation phase, like dates, technology, free field entry texts etc.
Technology may be covered by existing use of Segment/Industry Code for example.
Dates are available in the WBS elements, and these may be appropriate to use for things such as Effective Date.
Networks:
There are 3 main sections to be configured in the Network:
β€’ Network
β€’ Graphic
β€’ Activities
Network - Key configuration parameters (in scope):
Field Description In scope
Network type For Licensing a network type will be set up, and an also a new control key.
The key configuration of this control key will be explained below. In scope
Control Key
One important requirement from the business is the closing of the activities without the need to perform a β€œnotification” on each activity. It will be necessary to create the following new control keys to plan β€œinternal activities” and β€œexternal activities”.
Notes:
β€’ Planning – The licensing business has decided to perform all the planning (time) outside of the system, so this is not considered in the customisation of this functionality in SAP.
β€’ MPR integration – This is not part of the requirements, and this integration will not be customised, the PR and PO’s will be created manually by the user.
β€’ Validations and Substitutions – So far, there are no validations or substitutions considered to be customised at network level; However, during the realisation this will be confirmed.
β€’ User fields – User fields are not considered at network level to be available for the user; However, this will be reviewed during the realisation phase in case there is a need for the use of any of the standard fields.
The configuration for Licensing will be more oriented to cost allocation, instead of planning boards and integration with MRP and production. Anything related with planning and the integration with MRP is not considered in the scope of the customising of project system for CT.
Graphic – (out of the scope)
Graphics and planning boards are not considered in the scope for Licensing. Any planning related with time will be performed outside of SAP or in Primavera.
Activities Key configuration parameters (in scope):
The following parameters will be maintained in the Network Profile:
β€’ Network type (parameter)
β€’ Activity parameter
In JM CT the Network Type will be used to hold the information for controlling and managing the networks. The configuration required for the Licensing business for networks is very simple, because it will not be necessary for them manage capacities, integration with production (routings) and the integration with MRP. The user will be able to plan activities and general costs only according to the business requirements.

The design of this interface will be finalised during the realisation phase.
5.2.2.2. To-be Changes
Project creation and maintenance is a new process in JM CT SAP. The users from the different CT departments will not be able to allocate time to projects, unless the project has been created first. Existing processes for the creation of projects in Agresso or in SAP as Internal Orders will need to be adapted or revised to use SAP PS.
CT Sites Changes Business justification
All Sites Implementation of PS is new to all sites. Processes for creation and maintenance of projects using PS will be new on all sites where this is being used. Existing processes used to create projects in Agresso/SAP will need to be revised to follow the requirements of SAP Project Systems. This includes where Projects are replacing current use of Internal Orders. Implementation of PS for JM CT
All Sites Adoption of project templates for the creation of new projects is a new process.
This will support a standard process across JM CT to manage and administrate projects in the same way. Standardisation of the process to create projects and the use of templates across all JM CT
All business The creation of a project is considered β€œmaster data”; however, it has already been agreed that every business will establish their own responsible person to create new projects in the system as per of business needs and requests.
Every business will have autonomy to create and administrate their own projects. The main target is to provide autonomy to every business to create their own projects, without the intervention from the global master data team.
5.2.2.3. Site Specific Changes
In addition, the following site-specific changes (Existing and New Consolidation sites) and business justification for variation in the process is specified:
CT Sites Changes Business Justification
Agresso sites The creation and modification of projects in SAP PS will require new and adapted processes compared to those currently followed for the creation and modification of projects in Agresso Move from Agresso to SAP PS
Perstorp The creation and modification of projects in SAP PS will require a modified process compared to that used for these activities using Internal Orders currently in this part of the business Consolidation to the use of SAP PS for projects from the use of Internal Orders
Other existing SAP sites The creation and modification of projects in SAP PS will require a modified process compared to that used for these activities using Internal Orders currently in this part of the business. There will be more use of Projects as currently not all R&D projects are given SAP codes, but they will be required going forwards for time sheeting purposes. Consolidation to the use of SAP PS for projects from the use of Internal Orders
5.2.3. Process: 08.01.01.03 Project Template and Master Data Maintenance
Project Template and Master Data Maintenance Overview
The Project Template and Master Data Maintenance process refers to the flow of activities required to create new templates or make changes to existing templates.
Project Templates will be used to help the business standardise the structure of each project depending on the nature of the business and the project type.
A project template is a preconfigured project, that can be used to setup a new project which SAP PS calls an Operative Project.
A Template is a neutral structure that can be used to standardise WBS structures, Networks, Activities and Milestones. Templates are Master Data structures. Within CT, these will be managed by the CT business teams involved in project creation rather than the Master Data Team. There will be multiple templates to reflect different project scenarios. Project and Network Templates contain a Project or Network Profile, and templates can contain inherent business rules. Templates are not mandatory, but if you have common, complex structures, they help maintain consistency.
Existing Operative Projects and their Networks can be used to create new projects but are prone to inheriting errors present in the structure of the source project.
Milestone Templates (Standard Milestones) can be attached to Standard WBS’s and Standard Networks. Standard Templates do not carry Settlement Rules.
To summarise, a project can be created on three ways:
1. From a Template - this is a standard project structure that is then copied to create the project. Because you are using a standard template there should be no errors transferred to the new project.
2. From an existing project - this copies an existing project (Operative Project) to create a new project (it retains the structure but the budgets etc. are not copied) - there is a risk here that errors in the original project will be copied into the new project.
3. From scratch - clearly this takes time and would not be appropriate in most cases.
For JM CT Project Templates will be developed for the following businesses, as explained below.
β€’ JM Davy – Consolidation from Agresso to SAP
β€’ RD&E – move of time sheets and projects from Agresso/SAP to a common approach using Project Systems and SAP Time Sheeting
β€’ Formox Plant Designs – move of these from use of Internal Orders to Project Systems and introduction of SAP Time Sheeting in place of existing SharePoint based solution
Integration with Concur
Depending on the roll out timing, Concur updates may have to be performed manually at the go-live of PS/TM.
It is intended native integration will be implemented removing this need, but this may be in a later phase.
Integration with Concur and impact on available codes will need to be confirmed during realisation.
Note:
There will be a WBS element where royalties are collected as part of the structure. The accrual of royalties will be performed manually.
5.2.3.1. Project Templates
The following project templates are being developed to cover project needs for the JM CT business.
5.2.3.2. Project Template for Licensing
The diagram below shows the template structure for Licensing projects. This structure will be used for all Licensing projects (Licensed Packages, Studies and Plant Upgrades). Other activities such as proposals and day-to-day activities will use the simpler structures described later.
Figure 5 - Licensing Project Structure
The intent of this structure is to enable the Licensing business to continue to manage projects in a similar way to currently in Agresso down to a similar level of detail. In addition, the structure in SAP will enable the planning of manhours within SAP and the production of Cost Reports from SAP.
The project template includes all the elements that make up a single project. For Licensed packages this can include License Fee, Engineering, Equipment Supply and Catalysts. There is also consideration of the need to manage contracts which are owned and managed by a different legal entity to the entity doing the work (e.g., JM Plc (GB30) contracts with JM Davy performing the work and receiving the revenue). It is likely there will be some contracts where changes will be required but the template should provide a good basis for most Licensed packages. The same template will be used for Studies and Plant Upgrades, where not all elements will be used but will be created as part of the template and can then be removed or ignored at a later stage.
WBS Level 2 (Core Activities)
This level includes WBS elements that relate to the different elements of a Licensed package, i.e., License Fee, Engineering, Equipment Supply and Catalysts. There is also a WBS element for JM Plc at this level to handle the cases where JM Plc manages the contracts (including invoicing and receipt of payment). This will enable these to be handled within the project and then the costs/revenue can be transferred to the correct WBS element.
WBS Level 3 (Work Orders)
This level replicates the work orders currently found in Licensing. The total list of work orders has been reduced from those currently in use to a key sub-set agreed with the business. The sections below outline the workorders, the relevant WBS elements provided in the template and the reasoning behind the design.
License Fee
No WBS levels are required below Level 2 for the License Fee as there are no costs associated with this activity. The Level 2 WBS element will be used to handling billing etc. for the License Fee contract.
Engineering Work Orders
The Engineering WBS Level 2 is designed to cover the engineering aspects of the project, excluding those costs, billing etc. related to the supply of equipment by JM to the customer which will be covered under the Equipment Supply WBS Level 2. The Level 3 WBS elements used here are:
Description Agresso Work Order SAP WBS Element
PDP 10 10
Post PDP 20 20
Training 40 40
Meetings 51 51
Site Services (Reimbursable) 55 55
Home Office Support 58 58
If Technical Procurement Support (for customer procurement of equipment) is required, then an additional WBS element in the 20 series can be created to capture these costs.
Work Order 30 is not included here as equipment costs associated with the supply of equipment by JM to the customer are moved to the Equipment Supply WBS Level 2.
Equipment Supply
The Equipment Supply WBS Level 2 is designed to cover the engineering, procurement, billing etc. activities related to the supply of equipment by JM to the customer. This does not include Technical Procurement Support of customer procurement which would be under the Engineering WBS Level 2 – see above.
A minimum of one WBS element would be created at WBS Level 3 for equipment supply as shown in the diagram (e.g., E1). It may be appropriate for some contracts to create multiple WBS Level 3 elements to cover multiple major items of equipment supply.
Catalysts
The Catalysts WBS Level 2 is designed to cover the procurement, billing, supply etc. activities related to the supply of catalysts by JM to the customer as part of the project. Future charges of catalyst would be handled as normal sales.
The use of level 3 WBS elements may be required if there is a need to separate for example JM supply vs. PFR catalysts within the project. A typical WBS Level 3 would be C1.
Note:
Revenue for catalysts will be able to be reported separately to the other project revenues as this is being handled through a separate WBS element. There will also be a separate Sales Order for the catalyst.
WBS Level 4
This level enables a roll-up of the various functions within the project to a discipline level. This is used in the reporting and management of manhours. The Level 4 WBS and Level 5 WBS elements will be repeated under each of the Level 3 WBS elements under Engineering (Level 2 WBS ENG) and Equipment Supply (Level 2 WBS EQP).
The Level 4 WBS elements are:
Description (Discipline) SAP WBS Level 4
Engineering 10
Process 20
R&D 30
Projects 40
Others 60
Note:
SAP PS has a limitation on the number of characters in the project coding mask (limited to 24). So, the new coding has been established to fit in this structure. The new coding will need to be understood by the different businesses and different users will need training and time to get used to the new structure.
Concert has deliberately chosen codes that broadly align with existing codes in use in the business to help with this transition.
WBS Level 5
This level enables the split of activities by function and roll-up to the functional level. This aligns with the Cost Reporting and planning activities. Activities will be placed below the Level 5 WBS elements. The information from these Level 5 WBS elements and reporting will also be fed to the planner for updating the forecast manhours and this then provides input to the forecasting of costs and revenue.
The table below shows the mapping of existing codes to the new SAP WBS Level 5 numbering and the roll-up to the Level 4 WBS elements.
Description (Function) Agresso Code SAP WBS Level 5 SAP WBS Level 4

Business Services 900 90
Unallocated 999 99
Additional WBS elements can be created as required during the creation and operation of the project.
5.2.3.3. Project template for Licensing Proposals
The diagram below shows the template structure for Licensing Proposals. The intent here is a separate project is created for each proposal.
Figure 6 - Licensing Proposals Structure
The structure allows for the capture of manhours and costs on proposals. The intent is to use generic discipline activities below the Manhours WBS Level 2 element to enable an understanding of manhours by discipline if required.
5.2.3.4. Project template for Formox Plant Designs
The diagram below shows the template structure for Formox Plant Design projects.
Note: Other Formox activities will continue to use Internal Orders, only Formox Plant Design projects are moving to using PS/TM.
Figure 7 - Formox Plant Designs Project Structure
The aim of this structure is to align with the current approach within Formox Plant Designs. Existing GLs will be used within the WBS Level 2 elements to capture costs. It is anticipated that this approach will allow the Formox Plant Design business to continue to use their existing planning, forecasting and revenue recognition tools, although some modifications will be required based on the finally developed reports that are available from SAP.
5.2.3.5. Project template for R&D KeyedIn Projects
The diagram below shows the template structure for R&D projects that are established in KeyedIn. These will typically be NPI or PIM projects and will be created in KeyedIn before being set up in SAP. Other R&D activities will be covered by standard project structures described later for day-to-day activities.
Figure 8 - R&D KeyedIn Projects Structure
In order that the data can be transferred from SAP to KeyedIn for actual manhours and costs, the project template includes User Fields which will be populated at set-up with the matching information from KeyedIn. This includes:
Β· KeyedIn Programme Number
Β· KeyedIn Project Number
Β· KeyedIn Workstream Number
These fields are required to enable the import of the data from SAP into the correct entry in KeyedIn. A field will also be provided to allow a project that is eligible for Tax Credits to be marked as such.
At WBS Level 2, one workstream WBS element will be created by default. This aligns with the current CT use of workstreams in KeyedIn. However, using this structure would enable the use of multiple workstreams at future date which is already used in other parts of JM.
At WBS Level 3, two WBS elements are created, one for manhours and one for costs. At the present time CT does not capture costs on specific R&D KeyedIn projects, but again this structure provides this capability. Initially only time will be captured against specific projects using the appropriate WBS element when employees’ complete timesheets.
5.2.3.6. Project Structures for β€œday-to-day" activities
As CT is implementing time sheeting for the whole of RD&E including Licensing, Formox Plant Design projects and R&D as well as the broader Licensing business, it is necessary to have projects set up to provide places for time to be booked for on-going activities such as customer support, manufacturing support, innovation, and overheads. These projects will be continuous and used simply to collect time/costs as part of time sheeting.
The structure of these projects will be straightforward as there will be no need to segregate by activity or discipline. In some instances, multiple activities may be included in one overarching project, for example:
Customer Support
A single project could be created for Customer Support. Within this project the WBS Level 2 would provide a split by business area, e.g., Refinery Hydrogen, Additives, SNG and GTL, Ammonia & Nitrogen etc. Below this the WBS Level 3 could include various Key Accounts, plus Non-Key Accounts to which hours would be booked. The diagram below shows how this might look.
Figure 9 - Typical Non-project Activity Structure
Further work is required to finalize these project structures and coding's with the business, the aim being to reduce the number of codes in use at present in Agresso and consolidate to common coding across CT where possible.
Notes:
1. The templates in SAP are considered as β€œmaster data”, however, for the creation of a β€œproject template” or an operative project, each business will have their own responsible person. This person will receive and validate any project/template creation request made by the business, and once confirmed will be responsible to create the project in the system.
It has been established that every CT business will have autonomy to administer, create and improve the structure of their project templates and operative projects.
The responsible person will be also administer, modify and make any changes requested by the business on their project templates.
During the realisation phase, each business will establish the people responsible for the administration of templates and creation of projects.
2. There will be a need to decide if the costs need to be included in the % completion calculation for revenue recognition and this may require a modification to the Results Analysis key for the specific WBS element. This will be further reviewed during Realisation and Training.
3. The previous diagrams are generic and are proposed structures. The actual or final structures will be finalised during Realisation phase of the project.
4. The intent is that each project will also be assigned to a β€œSegment” using a β€œUser Field” (this has been explained in the FDD) within the project header. This will enable Segment to be defined for each project and hence reporting by segment will be possible. This field will be a key field for reporting purposes.
5. For procurement on projects, the purchasing process will need to refer to the appropriate WBS element within a project to ensure that the commitments and costs appear on the project in the correct place. Authorisation requirements for purchasing will follow the standard STP processes with no additional elements due to the use of projects.

5.3. Level 3 Business Area – 08.01.02 Perform Project Budgeting & Planning
For JM CT projects planning and budgeting will be available for each project.
β€’ Planning – through this functionality in SAP, the users from the different businesses of JM CT will be able to create multiple β€œversions” of cost estimates per project.
o The planning allows the users from the different businesses to plan at:
ο‚§ Total or annual level
ο‚§ Cost element level
ο‚§ Activity level
β€’ Budgeting – through this functionality in SAP, the users from the different businesses will be able to limit the amount that can be spent on a project for a specific phase.
o SAP provides an active β€œavailably control” functionality, to allow the user to restrict the amounts that can be spend in a project.
o The budgeting in SAP will operate only at WBS element level.
Note:
These two functions will be available for every business; however, the business can decide to skip the use of planning or budgeting for a specific project.
The recommendation is always to use these two functions to maintain consistency with the process defined and to allow the user to track the history of the budget agreed.
Planning
For Planning purposes in JM CT, the following β€œcost planning methods” have been established and will be available to perform cost planning in a project for each business:
The following table outlines the methods available per business:
Business Level Planning method
Licensing WBS element β€’ Total (Overall Planning)
β€’ Annual
β€’ Cost element (Cost and Revenues)
Activity level β€’ Cost element
β€’ Activity (man hours)
Formox WBS element β€’ Total (Overall Planning)
β€’ Annual
β€’ Cost element (Cost and Revenues)
R&D WBS element β€’ Total (Overall Planning)
β€’ Annual
β€’ Cost element (Cost and Revenues)
Definitions:
Planning method Description
Total (Overall Planning) With this method, the system will allow the user to allocate an β€œoverall planning amount” for the entire duration of the project.
This would be equal to assigning an β€œoverall amount value” for the project, at the highest level of the hierarchy, e.g., WBS-1 in the diagram below.
Annual With this method, the system will allow the user to allocate an β€œoverall annual amount” for each year until the project ends.
This would be equal to assigning an β€œannual amount value” for the project at WBS element level.
Cost element level
(Cost and Revenues) With this method, the system will allow the different businesses to plan costs at cost element level (GL account) and at WBS element level. It will be also possible plan at activity level, if required.
For cost planning, there will be created the following planning cost element groups, with the valid range of accounts that can be used by the user to plan costs:
Cost element group Description Business Type
LICE-PLCOST Licensing planning costs Licensing Plan costs
FORM-PLCOST Formox planning costs Formox Plan costs
R&D-PLCOST R&D planning costs R&D Plan costs
LICE-PLREV Licensing planning costs Licensing Revenues
FORM-PLREV Formox planning costs Formox Revenues
R&D-PLREV R&D planning costs R&D Revenues
Currently, is not considered in the scope the planning in a monthly basis. This will be reviewed during the realisation phase.
Activity level With this method, the system will allow the user to plan hours & costs at activity level.
This method will be used, particularly in the Licensing business, to perform the planning of hours on activities.
At the activity level, the user will have available the option to cost activities, assigning the number of units (hours) and the cost associated (activity types in CO).
The JM CT business has currently identified the following set of activities:
Activity type Description Cost element no. Unit
1000 Normal Hours TBC number (realisation phase) Hours
1100 Overtime | Mon-Fri TBC number (realisation phase) Hours
1500 Overtime | Sat-Sun TBC number (realisation phase) Hours
2000 Overtime | Bank Holiday TBC number (realisation phase) Hours
Planning costs on activities:
CT will not be using salary-based costing of manhours in SAP. This is because salaries are not included in the SAP HR records - salaries are maintained in Workday and for GDPR reasons not transferred to SAP.
Rates will be established for the conversion of hours to costs based on disciplines. This will result in a reduction in the accuracy of the cost conversion as a rate will not match the actual salary cost but this is acceptable to the Finance team.
The current solution is designed to establish as a default, every employee is assigned and needs to be assigned into a specific cost centre in the organization.
This cost centre will work as key pivot to determine their rate. As the diagram shows, the calculation of a rate will be based on the relation between employee (level), cost centre and work centre (discipline).
This is the logic of how the table with the rates will be built in the system and will have to be updated once a year (as a minimum).
Note:
PRB costs will be included in the β€œcost rate”, and these costs will be determined outside of the system and will be added into the hourly cost rate within the system.
Planning versions:
JM CT will have available the use of β€œPlanning versions” to produce multiple β€œsnapshots” of the cost situation in a project.
CO planning versions are used to plan costs and revenues in a project. Using CO planning versions, JM CT can define various cost plans for a project, for example, an "optimistic" and a "pessimistic" or even a β€œforecast” plan. The user will be able to copy values from one version to another and make manual adjustments in the new version to represent for example a β€œForecast”.
For the different JM CT businesses, the following β€œplan versions” will be set up.
Plan versions for Forecast
Plan Version Description
ASS As-sold budget version
CCE Budget approved
M1 Forecast adjustments Jan
M2 Forecast adjustments Feb
M3 Forecast adjustments Mar
M4 Forecast adjustments Apr
M5 Forecast adjustments May
M6 Forecast adjustments Jun

B5 Budget adjustments May
B6 Budget adjustments Jun
B7 Budget adjustments Jul
B8 Budget adjustments Aug
B9 Budget adjustments Sep
B10 Budget adjustments Oct
B11 Budget adjustments Nov
B12 Budget adjustments Dec
Through these versions, the user will be able to compare a β€œbaseline” version (budget approved) vs previous versions or vs a forecast version to determine and document variances.
Plan versions will be provided to allow monthly versions. Not all versions need to be used and it is anticipated that the frequency of use will vary across a Licensing project.
Formox projects tend to work on a quarterly review and so they will not use all the versions available either.
If in a month (e.g., Jan) there are no changes in the plan and this happen for Feb and March, then the user will continue using this version (Jan), as the official plan until the project requires changes in the plan.
Budgeting
For Budgeting purposes in JM CT, the following β€œBudgeting methods”, will be available to allocate the budget approved in a project.
The following table describes the methods available per business:
Business Level Budgeting method
Licensing WBS element β€’ Total
β€’ Annual
Formox WBS element β€’ Total
β€’ Annual
R&D WBS element β€’ Total
β€’ Annual
Definitions:
Budgeting method Description
Total (overall budget) With this method, the system will allow the user to allocate an β€œoverall budget amount” for the duration of the project.
This would be equal to assigning an β€œoverall amount value” for the project, in the highest level of the hierarchy or at WBS element level, e.g., WBS-1 in the diagram below.
Annual With this method, the system will allow the user to allocate an β€œoverall annual amount” for each year until the project ends.
This amount is what the system will use to control the budget spent, through the use of availability control on a project.
Note:
It is anticipated that there will be a degree of automation available, the details will be developed during Realisation. As part of this, the user will have available some additional functionality, to allow the upload of the budget and planning automatically at a certain level.
This will be reviewed during the realisation phase.
Availability control in projects:
Availability control (AVAC) compares the current distributed budget (or released amount) with the assigned value (actuals), issuing a warning by email and error messages when budget exceeds that available within the β€œTolerance Limits Settings”.
β€’ When a project is being executed, the available funds are used at various places within the Project including when Commitments are created, and actual costs are incurred.
β€’ Availability control monitors funds using budget allocation. By entering business transactions that create cost assignments, the system checks whether there is still sufficient budget available for the Project.
β€’ Assigned funds can be found in the budgeted WBS element and in the lower-level assignable WBS elements.
β€’ To ensure that the available funds are not exhausted at an early stage, the budget can be released in stages, with AVAC activated on the Released Budget Amount.
The tables below detail the tolerance limits within availability control which will be enabled for each business area:
Licensing
Tolerance Limit for Licensing 70% 90% 100%
Actions Warning Warning with an email to the person responsible Warning with an email to the person responsible
Formox
Tolerance Limit for Formox 70% 90% 100%
Actions Warning Warning with an email to the person responsible Warning with an email to the person responsible
R&D
Tolerance Limit for R&D 70% 90% 100%
Actions Warning Warning with an email to the person responsible Warning with an email to the person responsible
Note:
The intent of Availability Control is to provide warnings only - there is no intent to restrict spend on projects in CT at the present time. The use of this feature is optional and exact limits can be adjusted. We will establish the correct settings for each business during the build.
The user will be able to switch on or off this functionality for a specific project or for multiple projects.
Planning Process:
During the project planning and development process, each business is expected to continue using the different tools currently in place to establish costs/budgets. This will enable them to develop the costings/budget during the development and quotation phase using these familiar off system tools.
Once the final version (costing version) has been agreed and approved, the cost engineer will copy and update manually the planning version in SAP.
The above diagram shows how the plan version β€œX” with an initial cost estimate made at WBS element, has been copied into the version β€œY” but with some amendments made in the plan costs on the WBS elements WBS-142 and WBS-143.
In this case, the user had the option to create a new plan version, using an existing plan as the basis and then make corrections on the new version, to create the new plan version or forecast version.
The different business will have at least one plan version per month for β€œbudgeting” and β€œforecast”.
5.3.1. Process: 08.01.02.01 Perform Budget for Project Spend
For the JM CT businesses, the process will start by the manual upload of the final approved budget into the appropriate plan version in SAP. Once this version has been uploaded into the system, the cost engineer can copy this to a working budget version, if required, (e.g., Cost Control Estimate in Licensing) and perform any additional adjustment to create the final version approved.
The approved cost structure (planning version approved) for executing a project is documented by distributing the budget to the WBS elements of the project. This typically occurs during the approval phase before the start of the project execution phase.
Project reporting in SAP PS allows for the evaluation of the budget values together with the planned vs actual costs.
The following budgeting functions from PS will be available for the different JM CT businesses:
1. Original Budget
2. Budget Supplement
3. Budget Transfer
4. Budget Return
5. Budget Release
Functionality Description
Original Budget In CT the Original Budget will be maintained during the initial stage of the project when there is a need to allocate funds and have control of expenditure throughout the project life cycle. Ideally, this will be one-time activity and any change to the original budget will be done through budget update functionality as detailed in the Functional Design Document.
Supplements If the funds provided are not sufficient, the system enables the use of budget supplements to increment the budget approved in a project.
Transfers In CT transfer budget functionality will be intended for transfers between WBS within the same project and available for transfer among WBS elements of different projects.
Returns In CT this function will allow us to return unused budget on a WBS element to the top-level WBS element in the project thereby increasing the distributable amount in the project.
Budget Release In CT we will leverage the standard SAP functionality of approving partial or total budget originally allocated to the project. Management in CT may try to optimise the use of funds and hence this additional step of budget release will be defined. This will also be done to ensure the original available budget is not exhausted at an early stage of the project and so we can release the budget in stages.
Through the cost & revenue planning option in SAP, the different businesses from JM CT will be able to produce multiple planning versions at cost element level for project costs and revenues.
The revenues will be assigned and copied into the project from the revenue plan (billing plan) on the sales order assigned to the project.

Using the cost & revenue planning option in SAP, the different businesses within JM CT will be able to produce multiple planning versions at cost element level for project costs and revenues.
In other words, a planning version that reflects the current situation in a project, can be used as point of start to create a forecast.
As previously described, the user will be able to create a copy of the current plan and then perform adjustments in the new version to create their new forecast for the project.
In summary, the businesses will be able to plan and track costs and revenue on planned versions created as well as produce forecasts for projects.
The information from SAP will flow into the wider financial forecasting processes outside of Project Systems.
Changes to the billing plan will impact the invoicing on a project but not the revenue recognised. Invoices raised to a client will not be considered by the revenue recognition process, established for the different CT businesses.

5.3.2.2. To-be Changes
Project planning of costs, revenues and the associated forecasting in SAP is a relatively new process in JM CT. Some parts of the organisation have used similar processes before with Internal Orders, but the new processes use these techniques more extensively and with Projects rather than Internal Orders. Through implementing these processes, the JM CT user will be able to generate different plan and budget versions per project and perform the associated forecasting of project revenue and costs.
CT Sites Changes Business justification
All Sites There must be a sales order created and linked into a project, to allow the user to visualise the planned revenues in a project.

5.3.3. Process: 08.01.02.03 Perform Project Amendment (over/under)
During the execution of a project, it is possible that an additional budget will be required or that budget will be moved within a project. This process allows these changes to be made to the project budget within SAP and ensures that this is reflected in any reporting. Additional controls are in place to ensure that the budget cannot be increased without the appropriate approvals.
Additions to Budget
Any addition (increase) in a project budget will need to be approved before it can be reflected in the project. This is likely to arise from a change in project scope that has been agreed with the customer (change order) or other change that has been agreed to be taken on by the project and hence as this increases the budget approval of the change is needed.
The user will also have the following options to make changes in the budget from a project:
Supplements:
If the funds provided are not sufficient, the system enables the use of budget supplements, which can be used on projects in CT.
There are two types of supplements for projects.
A) In The Project
A Supplement can be made in the project from the top-down, from the higher-level WBS element to the lower level. We can supplement only as much budget on a WBS element, as is contained in the higher level.
B) To The Project
Making a supplement to a project means providing a selected WBS element with the additional external budget. This is independent of the remaining budget on the higher level. The system updates the supplemented budget on the WBS upwards.
Devolutions:
In CT, devolutions are not considered, however the functionality will be available for the user.
Transfers:
In CT transfer budget functionality will be intended for transfers between WBS within the same project and applicable for transfer among WBS elements of different projects.
Returns:
In CT this function will allow us to return unused budget on a WBS element to the top-level WBS element in the project thereby increasing the distributable amount in the project. This can be used when the activities against a WBS element have been over-budgeted.
Budget Reallocation
During the execution of a project, particularly complex licensing projects, it is likely that the project manager may wish to move budget from one element to another within the project. As this does not lead to an increase in the overall project budget this change does not require approval.

5.4.1. Process: 08.01.03.01 Capture Project Related Costs
Organizational structure
In Project Systems every project (via WBS elements) will become a cost collector that will be assigned to specific financial structures.
In general, each time a project receives a posting from finance (cost allocation), the posting will be assigned to the following financial structures as a minimum in accordance with the requirements of the following businesses:
β€’ Licensing
β€’ Formox
β€’ R&D
The following table summarises the main organisational structures that will be required to be used by the different CT businesses.

Main PS&TM integrations with STP, STC and RTR.
Integration with procurement (STP)
Purchase Requisition Process Overview:
The purchase requisition process refers to the flow of events that are triggered when any department needs to make a purchase.
A purchase requisition is an internal document in SAP. It is used to give notification to the purchasing department of requirements for materials or services. Purchase requisitions can be created with reference to MRP/Planned order or can be created manually. Once it is created it will be sent for approval based on the approval matrix.
Any PR with reference to a project will have to be created manually by the user or requestor area. The current design does not include the automatic order of materials or services triggered by the releasing of activities in a project.
Purchase requisitions (PR) will be created across all sites in CT to procure direct, indirect, and service materials. Most of the direct purchase requisitions will be triggered by MRP or planned orders at most sites. Use of scheduling agreements for raw materials should be deployed at the same time as MRP use. There should be a logged dependency on each project.
Reference: L4 Process 01.04.01.01 Create Purchase Requisition.
Integration with Sales (STC)
This process is intended to be used wherever the JM CT business activity is managed using SAP projects that include elements of customer invoicing. For example:
β€’ Licensing
β€’ Formox Plant Designs
SAP supports several approaches to the integration of sales order processing with PS, ranging from the closely coupled approach to a looser, financially focussed integration. An example of close integration would be the so called β€œEngineer-to-order” process. The resulting Quotation reflects the costs and schedule contained within the project. Similarly, it is possible to generate a project from the Quotation itself, using standard project templates; this too results in very close integration between PS and Sales.
The approach documented here reflects a looser, financial integration. The sales order is created using standard sales order transactions, namely VA01. The sales document line item is then account assigned to the project by entering the billing WBS element. This ensures that both planned and actual revenue can be reported and reviewed using standard PS reports, and hence the profitability of the project determined.
Upon completion of a milestone, the project manager or administrator will be releasing the line item and collecting the required documentation to support billing. They will manually contact finance to remove the billing block when milestone documentation is completed. Invoicing will not be completed automatically in system.
Invoices generated against the account assigned sales order line-item post with reference to the billing WBS, which must be released to receive revenue prior to invoice generation. This is a new process for JM CT and is intended to provide much improved management of customer billing with respect to complex engineering project and related activities.
Reference: L4 Process 02.04.01.05 create sales order with project
Integration with Finance (RTR)
The Finance team will be able to allocate costs to projects via:
β€’ FI Journals being posted directly to a Project – e.g., FI Journals will be posted to the project via transaction FB50 referring to a WBS element.
β€’ Financial Allocations, Interest etc. - Distribution or assessment cycle functionalities will be used to allocate cost from a cost center to projects or WBS elements
β€’ Postings will also come from procurement and sales via the use of cost elements.
β€’ Financial accounting: WBS elements and Networks codes will act as cost objects in Financial Accounting transactions.
With the standard integration between FI and PS, every WBS element and network will become a cost collector that will be assigned to specific organizational structures.
Tech provisions
β€’ Tech Provisions will be handled as a cost under License Fee, but not considered as part of the % complete calculation. The process for accrual of Tech Provisions will be finalized during realization. It may be possible to automate this process, and this will be reviewed during realization.
Overheads
β€’ Overheads will be handled separately using distribution cycles, the functionality will be confirmed and validated during the realization phase.
Time sheets & intercompany allocations (TM)
JM CT users will have the option to allocate time to projects that do not belong to the company code that they are assigned to.
An engineer, whose office base is in Sweden (for example), working on a project that is managed by the UK, for timesheet processing purposes will ask the UK project manager for the WBS element or Network/activity number where time should be allocated.
There will be an intercompany process defined and operated by finance, to allocate timesheets coming from different business units.
In this case an employee that belongs to a business unit in Sweden, this employee will be able to allocate time into a project that belongs to a UK business unit. This will be possible because during the definition of the corporate structure, it has been defined that every profit centre can receive postings from different business units.
Representation:
In the previous diagram, the movement A) is reflecting the effect that the system will create, when an employee in Sweden is allocating their time into a project that belongs to the UK; The system automatically will generate the effect (postings) using the intercompany accounts defined B).
With these postings created a user in Sweden will be able to report all the time allocated into projects that belongs to a different business unit and at the end of the month, the business unit will be able to raise an invoice for the services provided to the affiliate.
The process requires:
1. The setup of the intercompany account postings between business units (currently in the scope of RTR).
2. The process to clear and review the amounts allocated on each business unit during month-end (part of the scope of reporting in PS&TM).
3. The process to invoice these amounts to the business unit that has requested the works in the project.
Key point:
It is important to mention that at project can start to receive cost allocations (journals, timesheets etc.), only once the project has been released.
There can be cases where because of the dynamic of the business it will be necessary to release a project (or a WBS element only), without have already updated the CCE budget, planning and forecast.
In terms of the operation of the system, this will be a valid scenario, however, for revenue recognition purposes, the system will not be able to calculate it, unless the different forecast values (forecast revenue and forecast cost) have been updated correctly in the system.

5.4.1.2. To-be Changes
The introduction of Project Systems to CT SAP will bring new processes for the administration of projects.
CT Sites Changes Business justification
All sites There will be several new processes that will be integrated with projects to manage the full life cycle of the project.
Project systems will have and will provide strong integration with the all the rest of workstreams as described above. Standardization of the use of SAP PS for managing projects
5.4.1.3. Site Specific Changes
In addition, the following site-specific changes (Existing and New Consolidation sites) and business justification for variation in the process is specified:
CT Sites Changes Business justification
Agresso Existing processes for managing projects in Licensing use Agresso and off-system tools. There will be several changes to processes and systems required as a result of the implementation of SAP Project Systems. Additional training on the new processes will be required. Standardization of the use of SAP PS for managing projects
Perstorp The existing process for managing projects in Formox Plant Designs is based on the current use of Internal Orders. Some of these processes will need to be revised and adapted to use Project Systems. Standardization of the use of SAP PS for managing projects
Other existing SAP sites There will be less impact on R&D and other projects due to their simpler nature and lack of budgeting and planning, however there will still be a need to handle issues such as purchasing within Project Systems. Standardization of the use of SAP PS for managing projects
5.4.2. Process: 08.01.03.02 Maintaining HR Mini Master
HR Mini Masters will be used by JM CT to access employee profile information for Time Sheeting purposes. An interface with Workday will transfer the information required into SAP related to the master record and details of the employees (as shown in the diagram below).
β€’ Workday – Workday is the corporate system selected by JM, to manage all the personal information for all employees.
β€’ Middleware – the middleware (SAP PI/PO) will be used to administer the mapping and flow of the information between both systems.
β€’ SAP – SAP CATS is the system to be used by CT to allow the employees to process and generate timesheets.
The interface between Workday and SAP HR, will support the transfer of information for the following info types.
β€’ 000 (Actions)
β€’ 001 (Org-Data)
β€’ 002 (Personal data)
β€’ 007 (Planned working hours)
β€’ 0105 (Communication)
β€’ 315 (Timesheet Default)
Note:
IT0007 record from HRMM will provide planned working hours, which will be used as target working hours in CATS Timesheet and will be defaulted for each employee in the Fiori Interface. Users can edit the time as per their actual working hours, and the system will provide a warning message when the hours booked are over or under the target working hours.
IT0007 will also provide details about public holidays, as per the work schedule rule, however public holidays/target hours will only be for display purposes.
Note:
IT0315 record from HRMM will be used to default controlling area and Activity Types for each employee depending on their discipline. These defaults will be available for each employee in their Fiori interface and can be edited if needed.
SAP HR Infotypes are the information units that are used in the SAP Human Resource Management System. SAP HR Infotypes keep the information in structured way that facilitate the use of this data in SAP.
Note: The detail of this integration remains to be confirmed with the Workday team.
The interface will transfer the necessary information into SAP to allow employees to process their timesheets on a weekly basis.
Employee Records: the creation of HR Mini Masters based on the data available in Workday is intended to be automated. The details of this interface are still to be finalised due to limited access to the Workday team at present.
Note: For more information, please refer to the FDD document section 02.05.02.01

5.4.2.2. To-be Changes
The implementation and maintenance of HR Mini Masters are new processes in JM CT SAP. In order to enable CT users to allocate time to projects HR Mini Masters are required. Updating and maintaining the HR Mini Masters is critical to ensure that this information is kept up to date. This will be a new process for all the parts of CT that will be using time sheets.

5.4.3. Process: 08.01.03.03 Enter & Approve Time
An SAP Fiori interface will be developed to enable JM CT employees to prepare and submit their timesheets on a weekly basis.
What is SAP Fiori?.
Fiori is a streamlined application, delivering a role-based user experience that can be personalised across all lines of business, tasks, and devices. It uses tiles to encapsulate standard tasks like viewing sales orders or approving timesheets.
This provides a user-friendly web application for inputting time sheet data. The layout the interface will display, will be based on the entry profile defined for each business (Licensing, R&D and Formox).
The Fiori interface:
β€’ Will be used to enter as well as approve the timesheets.
β€’ Is web-based, accessed via a browser and a user-friendly GUI.
β€’ Makes filling and approving timesheets a simpler experience which can be done from anywhere on any device with appropriate authorisations.
Classic Fiori interface
Time Sheet Approval
Timesheet approval helps to track which employees' timesheets have been checked for accuracy before closing out the pay period
The process will enable line managers to review, approve and reject timesheets for all employees.
Line managers will approve timesheets, in line with the approach currently being used in JM CT.
Line managers will reject timesheets, in line with the approach currently being used in JM CT and the following timesheet rejection reasons will be available.
Code Timesheet Rejection reasons
REJ1 Hours booked to incorrect number
REJ2 Incorrect number of hours booked
REJ3 Incorrect overtime booked
REJ4 Incorrect work centre used
REJ5 Other error in timesheet
For JM CT the following status codes have been defined, to identify the stage for each time sheet during the approval process.
Note: These Status codes can be viewed using SAP standard report CATS_DA. CATS_DA is not available on the standard Fiori interface and so requires SAP access.
Note: Timesheet filling, release, submission, and approval will be done via Fiori interface.
Note: For more details, please refer to FDD section 2.5.2.3.
Status Short description Description in the context of JM CT
10 In process The record is being processed and is not yet ready for transfer to the target components (Controlling).
20 Release for approval The record has been released and is ready for approval or rejection by the line manager.
30 Approved The record has been approved and is ready for transfer to the target components (Controlling), to convert hours to cost.
40 Approval rejected The record has been rejected by line manager. It cannot be transferred to the target components (Controlling).
50 Change after approval An approved record has been changed. The original record is assigned this status until the new record has been approved.
60 Canceled The record was cancelled after approval.
Process:
The creation of projects will be managed within the business and will follow a similar process today. For example, in Licensing it is expected to use an updated version of the CWA.
Once approved, the project can be set up using the templates provided alongside the creation of a Sales Order and necessary customer record.
Once this is done employees will be able to book time to the WBS elements that have been set up, even if budget has not been assigned, provided the WBS element has been opened to allow bookings.
Allocation of Rates per activity (discipline):
The allocation of time into projects will be covered by the uses of SAP β€œactivity types”. Project concert will establish β€œactivity rates” based on an average rate per β€œdiscipline”.
Example: (Licensing)
In this case the average rate will be established at discipline level and will be determined by the β€œWork Centre” in SAP:
Description (Discipline) SAP WBS Level 4
Engineering 10
Process 20
R&D 30
Projects 40
Others 60
β€œWork Centres” will be defined in SAP for the disciplines in the table above and work centre will be an attribute that will be input in the timesheet by the employee.
The following table details the activity types defined for the different CT businesses to allocate time into projects:
Activity type Description
1000 Normal Hours
1100 Overtime | Mon-Fri
1500 Overtime | Sat-Sun
2000 Overtime | Bank Holiday
This list will be reviewed during the realisation phase, to confirm if’s necessary add new activity types required by the CT Businesses.
For timesheet purposes, an employee will input in the Fiori app the following data:
1. Project or projects (WBS element) where he wants to allocate their time.
2. Activity type that refers to the type of work performed (e.g., 1000 Normal hours).
3. Work centre, that will determine the β€œDiscipline”.
With this combination of values in the fields, the system will be able to calculate the rate for the activity and then establish the cost to be allocated into the project.
Example:
Cost centre Work centre Activity type Unit/Measure Unit Rate per h.
C100 W100 1000 Hr 1 Β£ 45.00
C200 W100 1000 Hr 1 Β£ 35.00
C300 F100 1100 Hr 1 Β£ 55.00
C400 F200 1100 Hr 1 Β£ 65.00
The previous table shows how the rates will be setup in the system, this table will have to be maintain at least once a year or depending on business requests.
The following example shows how the system will make the conversion of hours to cost:
An employee β€œJohn Doe” creates a timesheet with 40hrs for the discipline β€œW100 design engineering” and the activity type 1000 Normal hours.
Employee John Doe
Cost centre C200
Activity Type 1000
Work centre W100
Note: by default, every employee will be assigned into a cost centre, and this will come from Workday.
In this case, the system will perform the following logic:
John Doe is assigned to the Cost Centre C200 (because this is the area within the company where he belongs), so the system will make the following calculation:
40 Hrs. multiplied by the rate from the table where the Cost Centre is equal to C200, Activity Type 1000 and Work Centre (discipline) W100.
Cost centre Work centre Activity type Unit/Measure Unit Rate per h.
C100 W100 1000 Hr 1 Β£ 45.00
C200 W100 1000 Hr 1 Β£ 35.00
C300 F100 1100 Hr 1 Β£ 55.00
C400 F200 1100 Hr 1 Β£ 65.00
As a result, the system will allocate into the project the cost of Β£35 GBP X 40 hrs = Β£1,400.00.
The table with the rates per activity and work centre will have to be created per business (Licensing, Formox and R&D) and will be part of the initial setup of the system.

5.4.3.2. To-be Changes
Entering and approving timesheets on SAP is a new process in JM CT. Fiori interfaces and workflows will be created as required. Timesheet completion is a process that is currently used by many of this group of employees, however the systems, interfaces and processes will change.
CT Sites Changes Business Justification
All Sites Implementation of timesheets and the approval procedure on SAP is new to all sites. With the replacement of Agresso by SAP, time tracking must be retained as this and the conversion to cost is a key part of the business areas concerned. Implementing time sheeting within SAP meets this need.
All Sites Enabling a Fiori interface to allow the JM CT employees to create and submit timesheets. The JM CT business has requested, the enabling of a browser application to allow the different employees from the business to create and process timesheets in a user friendly and flexible way.
5.4.3.3. Site Specific Changes
CT Sites Changes Business Justification
Agresso Users
(Paddington, Stockton, Chilton, Savannah, Perstorp) Employees currently completing time sheets in Agresso will be moving to the SAP based time sheeting system. This will require them to be trained on the new system and the processes required to complete and approve timesheets
The group of employees involved will cover Licensing (JM Davy) as well as the wider RD&E teams across multiple sites. Time sheeting is required by these businesses and the replacement of Agresso with SAP requires this change of approach.
Perstorp The Formox Plant Design team already complete timesheets using an existing SharePoint based system. These employees will be moved to using the CT SAP based time sheeting system. Consolidation of the RD&E businesses on to one common time sheeting system and integration with Project Systems in SAP.
5.4.4. Process: 08.01.03.04 Time Administration
When errors are identified with the time recorded on timesheets, these errors need to be corrected. Modifying incorrect time can be done at different points in the processes. Changes are more easily made prior to approval. After approval changes must be made via the finance team to enable correction of any cost postings as well as the time records.
β€’ Users
Users can identify incorrect timesheet data after submission. They can send a request to the approver (Line Managers) for resubmission of the timesheet via email. This can only be done if the timesheet has not been approved by the line manager. Users can also modify the timesheet if the timesheet has been rejected by approver.
β€’ Approvers
Approvers can modify the timesheet for user before approval if they are assigned as time administrators or delegates. They can also reject a time sheet and send it back to the user for correction. If an approver identifies an error in the timesheet after approval, an email notification is sent to finance and finance makes the necessary changes to the time sheet record and any financial corrections required.
β€’ Finance Team
Once the Finance Team receives an email notification of incorrect timesheet data postings, they can make the adjustment, reverse the postings, and send an email notification to confirm the change has been made.
The identification of errors in timesheet allocations will follow the existing processes within the businesses. Similarly, the existing timesheet amendment process would be followed, and correction information provided to Finance.
Revisions will be required to the existing processes/forms to reflect the revised systems, coding and how the changes need to be applied.

5.4.4.2. To-be Changes
Modifying time is a new process in JM CT. Currently β€œmodify time” is done in Agresso but this will be replaced by SAP β€œmodify time”.
CT Sites Changes Business Justification
All Sites Implementation of modify time in SAP is new to all sites. Some sites already have a process for handling changes to timesheets and these processes will need to be revised to align with the new SAP timesheet system. The modify time process flow needs to be set up for JM CT. The replacement of Agresso with SAP requires this change of process to enable time sheets to be corrected.
5.4.4.3. Site Specific Changes
Modify time for time sheeting will be new to the CT SAP system and hence this process will be new for all parts of CT concerned.
CT Sites Changes Business Justification
Agresso Users
(Paddington, Stockton, Chilton, Savannah, Perstorp) Employees currently completing time sheets in Agresso will be moving to an SAP based time sheeting system, and this will require them to be trained on the new system and processes required to modify time.
The group of employees involved will cover Licensing (JM Davy) as well as the wider RD&E teams across multiple sites. Time sheeting is required by these businesses and the replacement of Agresso with SAP requires this change of approach.
Perstorp The Formox Plant Design team already complete timesheets using an existing SharePoint based system. These employees will move to using the CT SAP based time sheeting system and associated process for making corrections. Consolidation of the RD&E businesses on to one common time sheeting system and integration with Project Systems in SAP.
5.4.5. Process: 08.01.03.05 Reporting for Time Sheets
For JM CT there will be several standard reports available to analyse and report on timesheets. However, two main reports will cover 95% of the data and reporting requirements.
β€’ CATS_DA Report
β€’ CJI3
Note: Above reports are not available in Fiori interface but can be accessed in SAP with the right authorisations.
CATS_DA Report
The CATS_DA report will be used by the business to review information related to timesheets. The system will save all the information related with timesheets.
CATS_DA SAP Standard report
The Standard SAP reports for Time Sheets (CATS_DA) contains all the data that has been recorded using Timesheets. As soon as a user has entered and saved data in the time sheet, the system writes the record in the table.
The CATS_DA reporting output will help to track timesheet data before it is transferred to PS/Controlling. It can help to:
β€’ Retrieve information at employee level, e.g., employee number, working hours, approver details, to help track changes in timesheets and dates
β€’ Provide details of timesheet status as defined in 5.4.3
β€’ Track delegate information. In the CATS_DA Output, we can view the name and the personal number of who updated the timesheet data (this can be a user or a delegate in place of the user).
β€’ Show HR information retained in SAP.
β€’ Provide the reason for rejection of timesheet by approver.
β€’ Provide data from timesheets from before as well as after the current system date.
β€’ Can be used by managers to track employee timesheet status before the last submission date. Multiple employee numbers can be checked at once.
CJI3 (Display Actual Cost Line Items for Projects) report:
CJI3 is a standard SAP report used to display the actual cost incurred by the project. This report is used to review and analyse expenditure line items posted against projects.
The Project Line-Item Report can be run as required to check and analyse project costs within a defined time frame.
In relation to timesheets, this allows the reporting of the costs that have been transferred to the projects based on the time booked on the time sheets.
There will be several benefits from the use of this report, including:
β€’ It can be used to validate month end settlements to Cost Centres
β€’ CJI3 shows all actual lines item posted to WBS elements/Activities.
For example, Actual Cost incurred at WBS level can be retrieved.
The example below shows the total cost incurred by WBS 1710-2021-0007-02.01 can be reported based on specified dates.
β€’ Costs can be tracked by posting dates.
β€’ Costs incurred from previous years can be tracked using the posting date selection field, as shown below,
β€’ The report provides follow up documents from controlling and provides controlling level information as shown below,

5.4.5.2. To-be Changes
Time sheet reporting is a new process in JM CT SAP. These reports are readily available as they are SAP Standard reports and will be replacing the current Agresso and SharePoint Timesheet reporting processes and formats.
CT Sites Changes Business Justification
All Sites Implementation of time sheet reporting is new for JM CT, although JM currently uses Agresso, and SharePoint based time sheet reporting. This will be replaced with SAP.
Existing timesheet reporting will need to be replaced with the appropriate reports from SAP. The process for accessing these reports will be new for the users. With the replacement of Agresso by SAP, SAP time reporting must provide all the reporting required by the business.
Implementing time sheeting reporting within SAP meets this need.
5.4.5.3. Site Specific Changes
Time sheet reporting will be new to the CT SAP system as this will be replacing the existing Agresso and SharePoint processes and hence this process will be new for all parts of CT concerned.
CT Sites Changes Business Justification
Agresso Users
(Paddington, Stockton, Chilton, Savannah, Perstorp) Reporting will change from that provided in Agresso to that available from SAP. Move from Agresso to SAP CATS time sheeting solution using Fiori interface and hence need to provide reporting from SAP.
Perstorp Reporting will change from that provided in the current SharePoint solution to that available from SAP. Move from SharePoint to SAP CATS time sheeting using Fiori Interface solution and hence need to provide reporting from SAP.
5.5. Level 3 Business Area - 08.01.04 Capture Project Revenue (Billing)
As part of the design established by the Project Concert, revenues will be assigned and allocated into a project by the creation of a sales order.
To process a billing document (invoice) for a client, the project will have a sales order that will be linked to the project, so every invoice raised to the client in the system will automatically assign the revenue to the project.
This process will be used wherever the JM CT business activity is managed through the use of SAP projects that include elements of customer invoicing.
β€’ Licensing – Davy
β€’ Formox
β€’ R&D
The current BPD document contains a description of how PS and Sales will work together to enable customer billing where project work is on behalf of an external customer.
5.5.1. Process: 08.01.04.01 Maintain Policy & Procedure for Revenue Recognition
Revenue recognition is an accounting principle used to determine when and how the revenue from a project needs to be recognised for accounting purposes.
By using the SAP Result Analysis Functionality (RA), the different businesses will be able to calculate revenue recognition on projects, based on the guidelines established for each business.
For the Licensing and Formox Plant Design businesses CT will adopt the cost-based percentage of completion method to recognise revenue in projects as well as point in time.
The following table defines the scope of businesses and methods that will implement this functionality to automatically calculate revenue recognition in projects:
Business Revenue Recognition Methods Existing / New
Licensing Required Revenue Recognized = Plan revenue x POC
POC = actual costs incurred / Forecast total costs
PIT = Revenue Recognition equal to actual cost (at one specific point of time) In scope
Formox Required Revenue Recognized = Plan revenue x POC
POC = actual costs incurred / Forecast total costs
PIT = Revenue Recognition equal to actual cost (at one specific point of time) In scope
R&D Not applicable Not applicable Out of scope
During the creation of the project the RA Keys will be determined as required for revenue recognition.
PIT – will apply mainly on projects where the cost will be equal to the revenue to be recognised in the corresponding period. E.g., for Licensing projects, Royalties projects, Breakeven projects, where the β€œpayments” are made by the clients once a year or every six months, PIT will recognise all the cost incurred in a monthly basis as revenue recognised until the payment happen, and then the system will perform the corresponding adjustment.
Important – Every RA is related with only one calculation method; this means will have to be WBS elements to calculate revenue recognition based on POC and WBS elements for PIT. One WBS element cannot have more than one calculation method applied to it.
These are project parameters that will be predefined in the project templates, so it will not be necessary capture and assign these RA keys to the structure, every time that a project is created.
However, it will be one of the pre-checks that will have to be performed by the corresponding project controllers, to ensure that these keys are assigned correctly.
Without the correct assignment of the RA keys to the structure, the system will not be able to automatically create the corresponding calculations to establish the revenue recognition for the project.
The RA key will determine the method to be used by the system (see table above) to calculate revenue recognition.
During the realisation phase of the project additional RA keys will be created if required.
Currently, 3 result analysis keys have been identified as being required.
Result Analysis key Description Existing / New
LI00001 Result analysis key Licensing In scope
FO0001 Result analysis key Formox In scope
RD0001 Result analysis key R&D Out of scope
Note:
During the realisation phase the correct reconciliation process will be determined. This process will help the business to provide additional reporting, to verify the results calculated with the revenue recognition process.
The process will provide a comprehensive model to the user, to review the main inputs taken by the revenue recognition process in SAP, and to verify if the results obtained are correct. The process will also provide a different mechanism to make corrections and adjustments in case this is necessary.
Breakeven projects are part of the scope of this design document, but they will be reviewed in more detail during the realisation phase, to identify the best method to manage and administer the calculation of revenue recognition.
5.5.1.1. Level 4 Process Flow and Steps
Non applicable for this section.
5.5.1.2. To-be Changes
Result Analysis is a new process in JM CT SAP. The process will provide a standard and automated process for every CT business to calculate revenue recognition in projects.
The process will be fully automated and integrated with finances, so once the results has been approved and validated, the user will have the option to transfer and post the effect into Finances.
CT Sites Changes Business Justification
All Sites Every CT business will migrate their current calculation process to determine Revenue Recognition into SAP.
The new process will help to automate in SAP the calculations, instead of being performed outside of SAP manually.
There will be new processes and systems required. Use of a standard tool to provide the different CT businesses a standard and automated method to calculate revenue recognition in projects.
5.5.1.3. Site Specific Changes
Result Analysis is a new process in JM CT SAP and will harmonize the method to calculate RA across all the CT businesses. The process will provide a standard and automated process for every CT business to calculate revenue recognition in projects.
CT Sites Changes Business Justification
Licensing RA will replace the current manual processes used in Licensing for revenue recognition. This will require people to understand the new processes and systems needed. Move from existing manual process to an automated standard tool for revenue recognition.
Formox RA will replace the current development used by Formox to calculate revenue recognition.
Formox is currently using a β€œtailor made” program (ZFXX_SVATOOL) for revenue recognition. Use of a standard tool to provide the different CT businesses, a standard and automated method to calculate revenue recognition in projects.
RA will be able to deliver the results, as required by Formox.
5.5.2. Process: 08.01.04.02 Billing for Revenue Projects
For Revenue billing, SAP supports several approaches to the integration of sales order processing with PS, ranging from the closely coupled approach to a looser, financially focussed integration.
For the different JM businesses, the process will require a sales order is created using standard sales order transactions (T-code: VA01) in the SD module (STC). The sales document line item is then account assigned to the project by entering the billing WBS element, for example:
This ensures that both planned and actual revenue can be reported and reviewed using standard PS reports, and hence the profitability of the project determined.
Upon completion of a milestone, the project manager or administrator will release the line item and collect the required documentation to support billing. They will manually contact finance to remove the billing block when milestone documentation is completed. Invoicing will not be completed automatically in system.
Invoices will be generated against the account assigned sales order line-item post with reference to the billing WBS, which will be released to receive revenue prior to invoice generation.
Note:
β€’ The completion of a milestone in a project implies the creation and sending (including documentation support) of the invoice to the client. This is the moment where the system will allocate the revenue to the project (revenue recognition does not take place at this stage).
β€’ The PM can change whenever required the due date in a milestone or in several milestones. Finance can have access to see these milestone dates in the system.
β€’ The revenue forecast will be taken by the project from the billing plan established in the Sales order. This revenue forecast will provide good level of visibility to the user, to know β€œwhen” the project is expected to release an invoice to the client (this means create the invoice and prepare it to be sent to the client).
β€’ If there are changes in the milestones of the projects, because of delays (for example) these changes will have to be reflected manually in the billing plan of the sales order.
During the period end, result analysis will be performed on those WBS elements which are assigned to sales orders, like license agreement, engineering agreement, catalyst agreement etc in the Licensing business.
While doing result analysis on a WBS element the system will consider all sub level WBS elements and Network Activities to calculate the result analysis. Result analysis will consider data like actual cost of work done, forecast total cost (not budget), planned revenue and actual revenue (Milestone billing and down payments).
Below there is a list of some business requirements that have been considered in the current design for the different JM CT businesses:
β€’ Support customer billing of activities managed through a project
β€’ Support for milestone billing to project
β€’ Support for billing of services such as training and engineer site visits
β€’ Link planned revenue visibly to the project
β€’ Link actual revenue visibly to the project
β€’ Need time for non-Davy employees to be input for % completion calculations for revenue recognition
β€’ Limit the number of transactions to manage billing associated with intercompany actions
β€’ Handle revenue recognition across JM legal entities, especially where % complete is required.

Consolidation of the Licensing business from Agresso to SAP and introduction of standard processes for handling of invoices on projects.
Formox Formox will move from using Internal Orders to using Projects in SAP and the associated changes to the invoicing process. People will need to be trained in the new processes. Introduction of standard processes for handling of invoices and the use of projects in SAP.
Other SAP sites (R&D) Where applicable sites will need to move to the use of the same processes for handling invoicing customers from projects. People will need to be trained in the new processes. Introduction of standard processes for handling of invoices and the use of projects in SAP.
5.5.3. Process: 08.01.04.05 Account Revenue Recognition
As described above, RA has a standard integration with Finances in SAP to allow the user to transfer automatically, the amounts calculated into the corresponding Balance Sheet and P&L accounts.
To allow that PS RA automatically calculate the proposal of revenue recognition to be posted into Finances, the system and the calculation method will take the following inputs as elements to perform the calculation.
To calculate and propose accounting adjustment entries as per matching principle, Result Analysis considers data like planned cost, planned revenue, actual cost, actual revenue, method to be used to match cost and revenue, and GL accounts to be posted. Result Analysis does not post any accounting entries.
Revenue relating to the project will coming from SD (sales order billing) to the WBS elements.
During period end, Result Analysis (Transaction KKA2) will be performed on the project to match cost and revenue. It is performed at WBS level and will consider all the sub level WBS elements and Network Activities.
The user will have the option to execute this process in β€œtest” as many times they required before transferring the final amounts to Finances.
This will help the user to review case by case (project) to perform any change or amendment in the information.
The calculated results obtained by RA will be saved but will not be posted into Finance, until the project settlement has been executed (08.01.06.02 Perform Project Settlement).
Once the user has confirmed the results, the settlement will create the postings established in the account determination of RA.
Example:
The first posting will reflect the revenues collected by the project.
The revenues will continue be posted into the current accounts, but now using the global chart of accounts defined by JM.
The final number of the GL accounts to be used, will be defined during the realisation phase.
The next posting presents the allocation of costs into project that will come from timesheets and purchases (goods or services with reference to a project).
Example:
Finally, depending on the method used, RA in SAP will generate the following posting at project level, to recognize the revenue calculated.
RA will calculate the effect and will generate a posting per project β€œDebiting the cumulative revenue account” and β€œCrediting Revenue”.
This effect will be posted the last day of the period and then, the system will create a reverse movement in the first day of the following period.
This is because, RA will calculate the revenue recognition for a project in a cumulative basis depending on the NEW progress achieved in the month.
The main target is that the different CT businesses must have a β€œnetting effect” in their revenue accounts on their balance sheet, as the following diagram presents.
The number of the GL accounts will be defined during the realisation phase of the project.
Note:
β€’ Revenue recognition (via Results Analysis) will be set up to calculate revenue based on the relevant WBS elements and types of revenue recognition required by the different businesses.
β€’ Invoices will be not part of any of the calculation methods defined for JM CT.

5.6. Level 3 Business Area – 08.01.05 Project Monitoring
The project monitoring processes are how the different CT businesses will be able to review and monitor the project and integrate with other external systems.
For project monitoring purposes, the following integrations between SAP and legacy systems or applications currently used by CT have been identified.
Business Description Type Comments:

Each of these integrations will be explained in more detail in the following sections.
5.6.1. Process: 08.01.05.01 Perform Project Reporting
Regarding project reporting of costs, two main reports have been identified that are key for every business to present and deliver results.
These reports are:
Business Description Type
Licensing Project cost report SAP standard (to-be configured as a variant)
Formox Integration with Tableau (Segmentation) SAP standard Report (manual)
1. Licensing cost report
The β€œcost report” is a standard report used by the Licensing business to track the status of a project for a specific period. To fulfil this requirement, a new report will be developed using β€œreport painter” in SAP.
Report painter is a standard reporting tool in SAP to create and combine multiple views, extracting and presenting the information from multiple tables.
The following diagram shows the main components of this report and from where the information will be extracted from SAP.
The following image shows the layout of the report that is expected to be built.
The columns in the image above related as follows:
Column Description Description
A Original Budget The original budget will come from a project version created at the start of the project. The original budget will be updated manually into the system by the cost engineer.
B Approved changes Changes approved will come from changes approved on the original budget. This will also be registered in a project version.
C Current budget This field will be a calculated field that will be the result of the sum of fields A and B.
D Commitment This column will present the β€œcommitment”, that is the total of Purchase orders and purchase requisitions created per WBS and activity
This is a new column for this report and for the users of this report.
This is part of the improvements made by the standard integration and process in SAP as it allows the report to show committed spend as well as actual spend to date.
E Spent to date This field (column) will display the total actual cost to date.
F Forecast to go This field will display the estimated forecast established by the project manager.
These values will be stored in a project version.
G Total Forecast This will be a calculated field that will equal the sum of D + E + F
H Budget (over/under) Calculated field
I Changes in forecast Calculated field
J Remarks The notes will be extracted from every WBS from the documentation section.
The details of this report will be reviewed during the realisation phase of the project.
Note:
The intent would be that the updates/changes to the cost reports are done by the Cost Engineer following a similar process to today but using plan versions in SAP.
It will be possible to make comparisons between multiple versions to review the corresponding variances. For example, the user will be able to report e.g., a version for January vs a version from April from the same year or from a different year.
2. Formox Financial Forecast
The β€œFinancial forecast” for the Formox business is a standard report used to know the situation of a project for a specific period.
This report will be created and extracted from the systems using standard cost elements reports.
Currently, the report is created via the monthly download of the information into excel and then is formatted and organized in excel to fulfil the requirement.
β€’ This process will continue, however, the user will have to use some different reports in PS (cost elements reporting), to download and format the information in excel.
β€’ Some additional cost elements groups will be created for reporting purposes and the range of cost elements for each group will be determined during the build phase of the project.
The details of this report will be reviewed during the realisation phase of the project.

Licensing The report will be extracted directly from SAP.
The report will provide a full consolidated view of the commitments, plans, budgets, actuals and forecast per project.
This report will be executed by the Licensing business.
The new report will incorporate the possibility for the user to review the value of the commitments in a project. The business needs to be able to produce this report in a monthly, weekly, or daily basis.
This report provides a consolidated view of the status of a project.
Formox The report will be extracted directly from SAP.
This report will be executed by the Formox business.
The new report will incorporate the possibility for the user to review the value of the commitments in a project. This report provides a consolidated view of the status of a project.
The report will continue providing a view at project and at cost element level.
5.6.2. Process: 08.01.05.02 Perform Integrations with Project Management Tools
1. Primavera
Primavera is a project management tool, currently used by the Licensing business to prepare reporting information regarding forecast and availability per project.
For the new design, Licensing will continue using Primavera to prepare the current reports requested by the business; However, there will be a manual interface where the user from Licensing will be able to download the information requested from SAP to an excel file.
There will be a predetermined β€œlayout” in SAP defined in the following report, that the user will use to extract and present the information with the content required.
In the new process the Licensing business will extract the information from SAP PS instead of Agresso, as follows:
Through the use the transaction CJI3, the Concert project team in conjunction with the users, will predefine a data layout that will match with the data requirements from Primavera (this will be finalised during realisation).
Menu Path:
CJI3: Information Systems β†’ Project System β†’ Financials β†’ Line Items β†’ Actual Costs/Revenues
The report will generate the layout with the information required and the user will have the option to export the file into excel to then be uploaded into Primavera.
The initial structure (data fields) of the file that will be uploaded into Primavera, has already been defined in the FDD for PS.
The list of fields already determined will be reviewed and confirmed during the realisation phase of the project.
This interface will be a β€œmanual interface”, so the end user will have the responsibility to generate this file in SAP, download the file into the net or their own PC and then upload into Primavera.
2. Integration with Tableau
The integration with Tableau will be similar to the integration with Primavera. The user will prepare the information in SAP and then the file extracted will be uploaded into Tableau using a manual interface.
The user will generate a report in CJI3 with the fields and data required, the file will be downloaded and then uploaded manually in Tableau.
Menu Path:
CJI3: Information Systems β†’ Project System β†’ Financials β†’ Line Items β†’ Actual Costs/Revenues
3. Integration with KeyedIn
For the integration between SAP and KeyedIn there has been identified two main interfaces that will be performed manually.
A. Project creation
B. Project actuals
A. Project Creation
During project creation, every time a project is created in KeyedIn, a project will also have to be created in SAP via 08.01.01.02 Create & Maintain project structure.
a. Project creation in SAP will be a manual process and the project structure of the project will follow the defined template.
b. The user will populate manually in predefined User Fields, within the project and WBS elements, the key information from KeyedIn. This includes the programme number, project number and workstream number used by KeyedIn to setup the project. This is how the user will be able to identify the project in SAP and in KeyedIn.
B. Project Actuals
SAP will transfer to KeyedIn the hours allocated into a project, plus their equivalent in cost.
a. As part of the standard functionality, SAP is converting the hours allocated in projects by multiplying the units (hours) against the hourly rate established for the activity.
b. The interface will also transfer into KeyedIn other actuals, like invoices, goods receipts of services & materials; The interface will transfer any cost allocated into the project, that has affected the balance.
c. In the same way as for Primavera and Tableau, a layout will be defined in CJI3 that will provide the details required by KeyedIn.
4. Workday Integration
This integration has been already described in the sections:
β€’ 5.4.1 – 08.01.03.01 Capture Project Related Costs
β€’ 5.4.2 – 08.01.03.02 Maintaining HR Mini Master
5. Licensing Financial Forecast
There are several reports and datasets required to be produced and fed into the Licensing Financial Forecasting process. It is anticipated that this information will be available in the standard SAP reports. The reports required and integration with the existing processes will be reviewed during the realisation phase.
For this business requirement most of the information required will extracted using transaction CJI3, the Concert project team in conjunction with the users will predefine several data layouts that will match with the data requirements of the Financial Forecast for Davy (this will be finalised during realisation).
Menu Path:
CJI3: Information Systems β†’ Project System β†’ Financials β†’ Line Items β†’ Actual Costs/Revenues
The report will generate the layout with the information required and the user will have the option to export the file into excel to then be uploaded into final Financial Forecast report in excel.
The list of fields will be reviewed and confirmed during the realisation phase of the project.
This interface will be a β€œmanual interface”, so the end user will have the responsibility to generate this file in SAP and upload into forecast data base.

Primavera The process will continue working in the same way that currently is managed; However, the extraction of the information will be performed in SAP and transferred manually into Primavera This interface is part of the scope of the project and is necessary to the Licensing business.
This interface will continue helping the business to prepare consolidated forecast in Primavera.
Tableau The process will continue working in the same way that currently is managed; However, the extraction of the information will be performed in SAP and transferred manually into Tableau. This interface allows the continued collection of time data across the RD&E business (Licensing, Formox Plant Designs and R&D) as is currently performed using data from Agresso.
KeyedIn The integration will continue existing between KeyedIn and SAP, however, the process will be a mix between automatic and manual.
SAP will provide at the end of the period to Keyedin with all the actuals (costs), that are coming from timesheets and other costs. This interface allows projects to capture time and costs associated with R&D projects in KeyedIn and the transfer of this information back to KeyedIn for project management and reporting.
5.7. Level 3 Business Area – 08.01.06 Project Month & Year End Close
5.7.1. Process: 08.01.06.01 Results Analysis
Results Analysis (RA) is a functionality in SAP Controlling to evaluate ongoing, unfinished activities, such as service orders, production orders or projects at month-end.
In the JM CT business, a project will be created with the required structure (following the template structures), but the forecast (cost and revenue) will have to be maintained in the corresponding planning versions (this has been explained in more detail in section 5.3 of this document)
During period end, Result Analysis (Transaction KKA2 in SAP) will be performed on the project to match cost and revenue. It is performed at WBS level and considers all the sub level WBS elements and Network Activities.
To calculate and propose accounting adjustment entries as per matching principle, Result Analysis considers various data like planned cost, planned revenue, actual cost, actual revenue, method to be used to match cost and revenue, and GL accounts to be posted. Result Analysis does not post any accounting entries.
Revenue recognition is an accounting principle used to determine when and how revenue is recognized for accounting purposes. By using the result analysis functionality in SAP, the different businesses will be able to calculate revenue recognition on projects, based on the guidelines established for each business.
The table below describes the Result Analysis methods that will be provided in the system for the different JM CT businesses according to their business requirements.
Business Revenue Recognition Methods Existing / New
Licensing Required Revenue Recognized = Plan revenue x POC
POC = actual costs incurred / Forecast total costs
PIT = Revenue Recognition equal to actual cost (at one specific point of time) New
Formox Required Revenue Recognized = Plan revenue x POC
POC = actual costs incurred / Forecast total costs
PIT = Revenue Recognition equal to actual cost (at one specific point of time) New

5.7.2. Process: 08.01.06.02 Perform Project Settlement
Settlement in SAP is the process, where the costs and revenues allocated (P&L accounts) and collected in a project, will be transferred, or β€œsettled” into different receivers.
During the execution of the project settlement, costs and revenues which are collected in projects must be settled to one or more receivers as part of the period end processing and year-end close.
In JM CT the settlement function is used to settle (transfer) values from P&L accounts to Cost Centres or Profit Centres.
Configuration will be required in project systems for all JM CT projects, to allow the businesses to settle values to the different defined receivers.
This configuration will be saved in the β€œsettlement profile” and it will be defined only for WBS elements and networks, that have the following β€œoperative indicators” activated:
1. Account assignment element
2. Billing element
This configuration will be predefined in each project template, so the project settlement field will have a predefined settlement profile assigned.
The following table describes the different senders and receivers that will be available for projects and businesses:

5.8. Level 3 Business Area – 08.01.07 Project Reporting
In the SAP system, a Project Information System is used to monitor and control the project master data. It will allow the JM CT users to analyse each project, parts of projects, or multiple projects.
The analysis will include creating different overview reports and advanced level reports with various degrees of detail. These reports meet the metrics required as part of project management data.
Key functions in PS reports
β€’ Using the PS Information system, JM CT can run standard reports in the system or can create their own reports to meet specific tasks in the Licensing, Formox and R&D businesses.
β€’ These reports can be displayed directly and are available in Project Information system or you can run them as background jobs.
β€’ Report analysis includes considering various fields and functions of a project.
Note:
Depending on the authorisation roles for each user in the system, the user will be able to use all these reports or only some. The final authorisation roles will be defined during the realisation phase.
All the reports in SAP can be downloaded into multiple standard formats (Excel, PDF, TXT etc).
All the SAP standard reports enable different views to visualize revenues, costs, budgets and cashflows. The enabling and use of these views will be reviewed during the training phase of the project.
Types of Reports
For JM CT, there will be available the following types of reports in the PS Information System.
β€’ Technical Reports
The PS Information System in SAP PS will allow the different users from the JM CT businesses to manage and control a project technically.
This allows the user to select all the objects or specific objects (fields) in the system, like: WBS elements, Networks, PS text, materials etc. to check their status and their use in the project hierarchy.
Via the PS Information System, JM CT users can monitor the data related to current projects as well as data in archive to see historical data and lessons learnt.
β€’ Commercial Reports
JM CT users can view various commercial reports related to project progress in the SAP PS system.
β€’ The Cost Element Report is used to view cost and revenues summarised by cost element
β€’ To monitor full value flow in the project, you can use Cost/Revenue and Payment hierarchy reports. Payment hierarchy reports contain data related to drill down into a project.
β€’ To display actual, plan, commitment, and budget values you can use Line-Item Reports.
5.8.1. Process: 08.01.07.01 Project Commitments
In SAP PS commitment management is part of the cost monitoring process. Commitment items are triggered by purchase requisitions and purchase orders for projects and will be reduced by various business transactions such as goods receipts.
For commitment reporting there will two types of reports available for JM CT:
β€’ Hierarchy reports
β€’ Line-item reports
Each of these types of reports will analyse the commitments on projects at different levels of detail.
β€’ Hierarchy reports run faster than cost element reports and will present the results, based on the structure defined on the project.
β€’ Line-item reports are more detailed than cost element reports and hierarchy reports. Line-item reports will enable the user to select individual POs and items from the PO.
The commitments on projects, will be integrated in two ways:
1. Purchase Requisition: A purchase requisition process refers to the flow of events that are triggered when any department needs to make a purchase.
Purchase requisitions (PR) will be created across all sites in CT to procure direct, indirect, services or goods with reference to a project.
2. Purchase Order Process: A purchase order process refers to the flow of events that are triggered when the purchaser creates a purchase order with/without reference to purchase requisition.
The purchase order (PO) will be created by CT to procure direct materials, indirect materials and services from suppliers set up in the system for projects. Most of the direct POs will be created by converting approved PRs to purchase orders and these orders will take the project number from the PR.

Projects of all types receive costs from various sources:
β€’ Material costs resulting from consumption recorded for the project. These credit project inventory
β€’ Service costs resulting from service confirmations. These credit the cost centres which performed the services.
β€’ Other direct costs using supplier invoices, journal entry vouchers, or expense reports
β€’ Some project types may also receive overhead costs using overhead distribution or overhead absorption. These credit cost centres
β€’ Customer projects are JM CT projects that are managed for customers and are always linked to a sales order. This integrates customer projects into the normal order-to-cash scenario and offers standard functions such as reporting by function of expense, profit analysis, and automatic revenue recognition.
Reports relating to these costs are standard and will be available for users.

5.9. Headline β€˜To- Be’ design changes
The business has requested several changes to the way in which the Project Systems and Time Sheeting processes will be managed and executed in the future:
Change Theme Change Statement
Remove Agresso The consolidation of the businesses currently using Agresso on to the CT SAP system is a key change of the project.
Revenue Recognition In moving from Agresso the implementation of revenue recognition on the system rather than the existing off system process.
Time Sheeting With the removal of Agresso, a replacement solution for time sheeting is required.
Project Systems Moving from Agresso requires the implementation of Project Systems within the CT SAP to enable these businesses to function.
These changes were identified in HLD and do not provide an exhaustive list but were to provide indicative direction for the detailed design.
To help deliver on these change themes, all aspects of the Operating Model wheel were considered through a series of workshops and the following changes have been identified.
5.10. Key Design Decisions
The business has agreed to the following Key Outstanding Design Decisions as part of the new ways of working as it impacts the Project Systems and Time Sheeting processes to be managed and executed as part of the to-be design:
No BAG Ref Theme Decisions
N/A N/A N/A
Reference link for cross functional key design decision
5.11. Policies and Compliance
The Project Systems and Time Sheeting workstream must comply with JM Policies set by Group. They can be found on MyJM. Many of the policies dealing with ERP systems are codified in the ICFR, including Segregation of Duties, Proper Approvals, and Access Rights. Sites are also responsible for compliance with local Tax and Governmental Reporting requirements, which are typically supported by data from SAP.
The following key policies have been identified as being impacted by the Concert design
No New/Existing Decisions
1 Existing JM Accounting Policies to be adhered to
2 Existing JM Internal Control Framework (ICFR) to be adhered to
3 Existing JM Master Data polices to be followed
Concert is considering related Controls and Policies in developing the Detailed Design. A complete list of Risk and Controls considered can be found in Risk and Control Matrix.
5.12. Key Value Drivers
The design has highlighted for L3 processes the key value drivers resulting in the process harmonization and improvement (the why), to meet the business value statements and KPIs as highlighted in the High-level design.
L3 Reference Value Driver Description KPI Reference Name (KPI's) Benefits
CT will establish a common system for reporting of all RD&E initiatives and resources to provide better visibility and understanding of overall R&D costs using PS and Timesheets - enabling better decision making on use of R&D budget and resources Operating Efficiencies Total Cost of Finance Function
CT will move the Licensing business from Agresso to SAP with other parts of CT enabling improved efficiencies of financial management and associated cost savings Cost Reduction Total Cost of Finance Function
CT will establish a standard approach to the management of projects making use of Project Systems and Time Sheets across the business as appropriate. This will enable improved understanding of costs and resources and drive increased efficiency and visibility enabling better decision making and monitoring.

Change(s) Required –
1. Clone roles mentioned above for each site without such a role (including consolidation sites) - following the same naming convention, altering underlying company code specific authorisations accordingly.
2. Ensure that users across all sites with Project/Lead/Planning Engineer responsibilities are assigned the relevant SAP role or roles from these based on their specific responsibilities and the company code(s) within which they operate.
3. All composite roles are marked as SoD; ensure that access to conflicting T-Codes is either mitigated or access to conflicting T-code(s) are withdrawn from these SAP roles.
4. Add 1/2 missing Project/Lead/Planning Engineer T-Codes to existing composite role(s) - None of the 4 composite roles provide access to 1 T-Code required.

7.1. Segmentation
The following table details the segmentation structure that will be used to tag projects within CT. This is to enable reporting of time and costs based on market segments. This list will be used to create a table from which the segment can be selected when a project is created. The table will use the column of names that are 20 characters long or less due to limitations with the User Fields in SAP.
