Question :

Answer :

Investment Management() IM Module is highly integrated with controlling(CO) , project system(PS), and Asset Management(FI-AA) components.

IF you would like to implement IM & PS you might ask yourself what additional advantages are offered by using IM .

These Include:

2- Using AR in IM CAN help you decide what budget will be assigned to your organization Unit.
IM Handles Cost Planning & Budget Approval and PS Manages Project Execution with AVAC for the Budget for each project.
