SAP Solution Manager 7.2 · SAP Portfolio & Project Management (PPM)

How do you import a project into PPM, for example from Microsoft Project?

You can round-trip with Microsoft Project MPP files (versions per SAP Note 1326709; needs write access to project elements + admin rights to project items; configure field mapping in SPRO's MS Project Integration; phase/checklist/task types must map to MS Project enterprise fields). XML import also works.

You can also download a project plan with the roadmap viewer (e.g. the transition-to-S/4HANA roadmap) and import via Project Management → Import Project (MPP or XML).

This is one card from the KnowCard library. The full way to learn it — spaced-repetition review, progress tracking, and AI explanations — lives in the KnowCard app. We’re in private beta now; iOS & Android are coming soon.
