In this task, you will create a standard network. In addition, you will assign the header and the activities of the standard network to the WBS elements of your standard work breakdown structure, so you can create both structures later.
1. Create standard network E-97## for profile Elevator model group 4 using the standard network E-1004 Alternative 1 as a template. Enter the name Standard network group ##, the status of the standard network should be Released (general). Add another internally processed activity Delivery to your standard network as a successor to the Assembly activity. The delivery should be executed by work center 2000, use 10 hours of work, and last 2 days. Assign the activities and the header of your standard network to the WBS elements of the standard WBS E-97## that you created previously. If necessary, use the input help to help you create the assignment.
2. Optional: Now test your standard structures by creating a network in the Project Builder with a template from your standard network E-97##. When you save the operative network, also create an operative work breakdown structure E-97##with a template from your standard work breakdown structure E-97##.
Check the structure of the new project E-97##.

Solution 7: Creating Standard Networks
Task: Standard Network
In this task, you will create a standard network. In addition, you will assign the header and the activities of the standard network to the WBS elements of your standard work breakdown structure, so you can create both structures later.
1. Create standard network E-97## for profile Elevator model group 4 using the standard network E-1004 Alternative 1 as a template. Enter the name Standard network group ##, the status of the standard network should be Released (general). Add another internally processed activity Delivery to your standard network as a successor to the Assembly activity. The delivery should be executed by work center 2000, use 10 hours of work, and last 2 days. Assign the activities and the header of your standard network to the WBS elements of the standard WBS E-97## that you created previously. If necessary, use the input help to help you create the assignment.
a) Choose SAP Menu → Logistics → Project System → Basic Data → Templates → Standard network → Create
On the initial screen, choose 1004 elevator model group 4 as the profile for the standard network. In the Standard network field, enter E-97## and choose Copy from template. Now enter standard network E-1004 in the template selection and alternative 1. Confirm your entries with Continue.
Enter the following data in the header of the standard network and then confirm your entries with Enter:
I n t e r n a l U s e S A P P a r t n e r O n l y I n t e r n a l U s e S A P P a r t n e r O n l y
Create an FS relationship from the activity Assembly to the new activity Delivery. To do this, select the Delivery activity and choose Relationship overview. Under Operation selection, select the Assembly activity and choose Create relationship. To return to the activity overview, choose Back or Activities.
c) You have already assigned the standard network header to a WBS element in your standard WBS E-97##. Now also enter the corresponding
assignments for the individual activities in the standard network. To do this, select the Total tab page in the activity overview. Enter the following data:
Activity Std. WBS element
Hint: You can also use the input help to display the short text of the standard WBS element for the assignment. To avoid selecting all WBS elements, enter E97##* in the Standard WBS element field. You can now select from a list of the WBS elements in your standard work breakdown structures.
Save your standard network and exit the transaction.

2. Optional: Now test your standard structures by creating a network in the Project Builder with a template from your standard network E-97##. When you save the operative network, also create an operative work breakdown structure E-97##with a template from your standard work breakdown structure E-97##.
Check the structure of the new project E-97##.
a) Choose SAP Menu → Logistics → Project System → Project → Project Builder. To create a new network, choose Project → New → Network with Template.
b) In the dialog box Selection Template now enter E-97lb## in the field Standard Network. On the tab page Network Parameters, enter your network profile GR## (Group ##) and your network type GR## (Group ##).
Hint: If you haven't made any separate settings in Customizing for networks, use the network profile 1004 (Elevator Model Group 4) and the network typePS04 (Networks Customer Project Processing (int.No)).
Confirm your entries by choosing Continue (Enter).
c) Check the control data in the network header and start the copy of your standard network with Enter. The system now reads your standard network and creates an operative network.
d) Choose Save. Based on the assignment of your standard network to your standard work breakdown structure, the system now suggests creating an operative work breakdown structure with template from the standard work breakdown structure E-97##. Enter E-97## as identification of the new project and choose Creation Project. Confirm the data for creating the project with Create Project. Finally choose Copy to copy the project assignment.
e) Your project E-97## now appears in the worklist under Projects Processed Last. Double-click to open the project, and look at its structure. Finish this
