Technology Stack

PIP (Integration Standardization):– Standard middleware. Can be re-used for integrating other

than Primavera applications

– Easy to find skill set (not proven)

– Version dependencies on middleware and PIP

– Expensive in design and development (still on V1)

– Hard to scale and customize

Features Inspire Primavera Gateway

Resource Calendar.Resource calendar are automatically

created/updated with Master Resource Import

flow.

Assignment of resource calendar would be supported provided

the resource calendar ID has to match Primavera Global

Calendar

Single source of the truth. Single Synchronization definition. User

chooses manually which direction to execute

data synch.

Two Synchronization definitions. The direction of the data flow is

embedded into synchronization definition.

Email Alerts. Supported Planned for future release.

Usability: administration of synch. One Project per each synch. setup List of Projects grouped together. For Example, synchronization

definition is applied to entire EPS node

Usability: Dynamic lookups Search Help Values (for Project, EPS Nodes

etc.)

Planned for future release.

Currently needs to be entered manually.

Implicit relationship Automatically creates finish start (FS)

relationships between activities from SAP to

Primavera (if there are no relationship

maintained within SAP).

User has to manually link up activities in P6 if no there are no

relationship maintained in SAP).

Primavera P6 support V6.2; V7; V8.x V8.2 and 8.3

Inspire vs. Gateway• Share same ABAP component to ensure consistency in SAP data map and flows

• Similar pricing

• Different technology stack – Netweaver and SAP PI/XI vs. Weblogic

• Different skill set requirements – PI expertise vs. standard Java


Primavera Gateway Post V1

Planned releases– Primavera Gateway v1.1 – FY 2014 – Enhance integration capability for P6

– Primavera Gateway v2.0 – FY 2015 – Support additional Primavera Products(Unifier 10, CPP 1.0)

Primavera Framework Enhancements– Support for multiple providers – ability to deploy three and more different providers on a single Gateway platform (for example, Maximo, EBS, and P6)

– Data Level Security – allow to differentiate flows and synchronization definitions by User

– Enhanced filtering capabilities – allow to synchronize part of the project (for example, only activities with specific activity code)

– Usability Improvement – dynamic lookups, custom view, configuration UI, etc.

On-going development of Providers for External Applications– EBS – adapter for Project Costing / Project Management

– Utility GBU – adapter for WAM

– Oracle Asset Management – adapter EAM

– JDE – adapter for Enterprise One

– ABB – adapter for Ventyx Asset Management module

– PDSC – adapter for VCP

• Partner Involvement– Work with selected partners to develop providers for specific ERPs and Use Case - Accenture, Morpheus, Project Partners, EBS development, EAM development, WAM

development, JDE development, etc

– Certify partner’s providers through OVI

ERP / EAM Primavera P6Best Practice

1. Synchronize Resource Definitions

Resource master data is set up and maintained in ERP and transferred to

Primavera to have one central workforce repository for global resources as

employees , jobs , material and equipment. The transfer of capacity

definitions and calendar definitions enables Primavera to perform leveling

tasks in order to optimize resource utilization.

2. Synchronize Project Definition

Work Orders created in ERP. Project header created/updated in P6.

3. Synchronize Operations

Transfer of Work Orders and Operations elements and their properties to

P6. Transfer material components as resource assignments, activities or

both. Material delivery dates are updated during the procurement cycle

when they change in ERP/EAM

4. Synchronize Schedule

Distribute the work orders over a period of time (usually work week),

optimize the workload based on constraining factors (hard constraints and

relationships) and resource

capacity.

5. Synchronize Progress

Collect and transfer Actual Hours and % Complete.

6. Synchronize Actual Costs & Commitments

Actual Cost is visible in P6. Perform Earned Value Analyses in P6.

ERP Primavera P6

Best Practice








Project initiations may start in Primavera or in ERP. Some companies start

with the project breakdown in their controlling department utilizing the WBS

structure as a vehicle to break down cost. Other companies start in

Primavera with the definition of the project and transfer/create it in ERP

after final approval.

3. Synchronize High Level WBS & Budget

Financial data and budgets are collected in ERP at the Financial Task level

and shared with Primavera to

enhance visibility into actual vs. budgeted project cost & schedule KPIs.

4. Synchronize Summarized Resources, Task, Dates & Planned Costs

Create Detailed WBS and Activities in P6. Transfer Schedule and Resource

Assignment from P6 to ERP.

5. Synchronize Work Progress

Collect and transfer Actual Hours and % Complete.

6. Synchronize Project Actual Costs & Commitments

Transfer of actual cost and commitments on the WBS and activity level.

ERP owns the financial aspects of all projects. Project execution occurs in P6.
