What is the purpose of WBS elements in SAP PS?

In SAP Project System (PS), Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements serve as a key organizational tool for structuring and planning projects. They represent the hierarchical structure of the project and help in breaking down the project into manageable components.

WBS elements play a crucial role in project management by defining the scope of work, assigning responsibilities, and tracking progress at a detailed level. They enable effective cost control, resource allocation, and scheduling of activities within a project.

Furthermore, WBS elements can be used to integrate various project planning and control functions within SAP PS, facilitating better decision-making and coordination among project team members.
