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.
