SAP : Investment Management (IM) Overview

Create an Investment Program : Transaction Code: IM01

The investment program can be used to augment planning and budgeting at the level of the individual measure by offering planning, budgeting and monitoring of a comprehensive budget.

Investment programs are helpful to enterprises that create an investment plan and a budget annually, and wish to monitor the budget as a whole, rather than just at the level of individual measures.
Using investment programs, you can obtain an overview of planning and budgeting processes in complex enterprise structures for all investments and large projects of the group, while at the same time maintaining strict budgetary control.
