Every Planning Function in One Module
Tessaract XPM
Planning gets siloed. The PMO plans the portfolio, operations plans resources, the plant plans production, and finance owns the rates, each in a different tool that never reconciles. Tessaract XPM puts the whole planning picture in one place. Portfolio, resource, supply chain, and manufacturing planning share one data model and one set of WBS structures, and the numbers reconcile against live SAP actuals instead of a stack of spreadsheets.

Why Planning Stays Siloed
Portfolio, resource, and production planning live in different tools
The PMO, operations, and the plant each plan in isolation. Aligning the portfolio with resource capacity and production requires manual reconciliation that is stale by the time it is done.
Complex programs cannot be modeled in one WBS
A single work breakdown structure does not fit programs that need parallel cost, contract, and reporting breakdowns. Teams maintain separate structures that drift apart.
Plans do not reconcile with the ERP
Planning happens in spreadsheets while actuals live in SAP. Variance analysis becomes an exercise in matching two sources that were never designed to agree.
Rates and burdens are opaque and hard to defend
Labor rates, indirect pools, and burden waterfalls are buried in finance workbooks. When an auditor asks how a rate was built, the answer takes days to assemble.
Planning That Reconciles Across the Enterprise
The same WBS structures and cost data flow through every planning function, so plans agree with each other and with the ERP.
Portfolio & Programs
Manage the portfolio with cost, schedule, and risk, and run complex programs with multi-WBS structures for parallel cost, contract, and reporting breakdowns.
Resource & Capacity
Plan resources across programs and departments with capacity and demand forecasting, and persist plan lines and periods as the plan evolves.
Rates & Burden
Build labor rates and a versioned burden engine with a CAS and DCAA compliant waterfall from ACDOCA through pools to segments.
Time & Labor
Capture time against a CATS-based timesheet and route it through a configurable approval methodology with approvers and delegates.
Supply Chain & Manufacturing
Align supply chain and manufacturing planning to the same program timelines so material and production plans move with the schedule.
SAP-Linked Actuals
Read live WBS actuals from ACDOCA, manage project currency rates directly against SAP, and push plan data to SAP results analysis and Dassian.

Common Questions
- What is Tessaract XPM?
- Tessaract XPM is a cross-functional planning module that unifies project portfolio management, resource planning, supply chain planning, manufacturing planning, and program planning in one tool, with multi-WBS management and direct SAP S/4HANA integration.
- What does multi-WBS management do?
- Multi-WBS management lets a single complex program maintain parallel work breakdown structures in one environment, so cost, contract, and reporting breakdowns stay connected instead of living in separate tools.
- Does it support CAS and DCAA compliant rates?
- Yes. The rates engine builds labor rates and a versioned burden waterfall from ACDOCA through indirect pools to segments, producing defensible, audit-ready rates for CAS and DCAA environments.
- How does it integrate with SAP?
- Tessaract XPM reads live WBS actuals from ACDOCA, manages project currency rates directly against SAP, captures time through a CATS-based timesheet, and pushes plan data to SAP results analysis and Dassian.
- Is it available today?
- Yes. Tessaract XPM is available and in active use. You can create a free account to explore portfolio, resource, rates, and time management.
