Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

As I know SAP is an ERP software. Where as Primavera, MSP etc. are not into complete ERP solutions.

SAP isn't just about finance, it's also about timesheets, inventory, production planning, supply chain, marketing, maintenance, service, etc

 

It's not however about planning. It has some limited planning functionality, but it's mainly there to help time-phase costs, income, resources, etc.

 

Certainly not something I'd want to use to plan a construction project.
