0CO_OM_WBS_6 for cost around Projects

Does anyone out there use 0CO_OM_WBS_6 for finding cost around Projects? I am trying to use it, but finding negative amounts instead of positive. Thanks.

Hi Sam,
Here you go with more details on 0CO_OM_WBS_6.

Can you set a Cost Rate Table to be used for an entire project

In earlier versions of project, the default cost rate table (A) is used unless changed by the user for each assignment. In 2010, is it possible to define which cost rate table to use for the entire project, not at the assignment level?
Thanks.

Hi melduncan,
Welcome to this Microsoft Project forum:)
I assume you want project to have a default cost rate, so why not set the cost rate details into A to begin with, You could then set this as a template from which you initiate all your new projects see FAQ
Item: 8. New Project Template. FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm
Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)

Regards
Shirisha

Hi,
Thanks for your solutions.
But I m looking for the Profit center in the report (display screen), not in selection screen.
My scenario is like, the cost was posted to WBSE with X profit center/cost center in January, now I changed the profit center to Y for the same WBSE and posted.
Want to see thru which PC I have posted to WBSE and how much. So that I can reversal.
Thanks again.

Is it possible to create financial plan for cost budget when ?

Hello Experts,
I am in situation where customer is currently using budgetory control enabled features and creating / maintaining cost budgets using oracle Form based budgets. Now after using for so many years, suddenly they choose not to use it. Instead they want financial plans to use for cost and revenue budgeting.
When We have run UPG : Upgrade budget type process it results into no data found and cannot able to help me in upgrading financial plan.
I think if the budgetory control is enable then we must need to create the cost budgets using Oracle Smart Forms. Am I rght?
If I am right then what would be work around? As I cannot ask them to create a new project & close exsting project because lots of PO & REQ are still open.
Lets say though they wanted to closed those PO & REQ and wanted to disabled budgetory control option on project they must need to diasable encumbrance acconting from Ledger. In that case what would be the overall impact? And what is gurantee whether system allow them to updgrade the budget to financial plan?
Has someone trapped and escaped from such kind of situation ever before?
Please help...
Thanks
:-)

Hi Dina,
The patch is nothing doing great but disabling the flag from the table which in turns enabling the budget types to be upgraded to financial plans very smoothly. Once updgraded, the budgets values are easily available in financial plans for reporting and further processing.
In this org, Customer is not using budgetory control functionality but in another org they are using it.
What I have learn in this situation is had it been all the budget types been upgraded first and later use in budgetory control, this situation would not have been arrived.
Thanks
:-)

How to run GR55 reports in background for cost center hierarchies

1. I have been asked by our users to create batch jobs to run in the background for some GR55 reports, that can then be sent directly to cost center managers via email.
I have figured out the process to do this as long as the cost center manager only needs to see a single cost center at a time. However, if they are in charge of multiple cost centers, we also want to send them a summarized report using the hierarchy we have set up. I can't seem to make this work, as the job only seem to recognize the last cost center in the group and the report is for that cost center.
Example. cost centers 100, 200 and 300 belong to hierarchy abc. If I run the job just for cost center 100 it is fine. But if I have a variant to run hierarchy abc, or even if I use the range 100 to 300, all I get is a report for cost center 300.
We cannot use BW because we only have revenue in BW. I am being asked to make this work from standard R/3 within the GR55 realm of reporting.
2. In addition, the report selection criteria includes two separate plan/forecast versions. They need to update these each month prior to running the reports and sending them out. I looked at the variables associated with the versions and tried to set them up with default values that I hoped would update automatically so that they don't have to manually change 50 or so variants each month. But I don't see any dynamic variables that I can use to have the system make that change without going into each variant individually.
3. There is another piece to this equation as well. There is another report they want sent out in batch, but it is several pages wide in SAP and several pages long. So when you run it in batch and either spool it or get it sent as an email, it is very ugly in the formatting due to all the page splits horizontally and vertically. If anyone knows how to get the report to stay together like it would if you had excel integration turned on, it would be very helpful. I have tried running it with that integration turned on, but the jobs are set up with user batch_mgr and not my id, so it isn't working well. The batch_mgr id is just a system id, not a dialog id. We also don't want the jobs set up with a regular user id because if people leave, then the jobs all need to be changed.

Kim,
I may have options for issues 1 and 2. In case of 3, what I can tell you is I understand the concern, but this is what typically happens in some standard CO reports that are not ALV compatible, I don't think there is not much there to do unless you add some custom code for the output.
In regards to point 1, yes, I have noticed that this happens in some standard and custom reporting, not sure what is going on. I came up with a work around that made the trick for my client in a similar scenario; which is editing the cost center groups. For instance, instead of having the group set as a range from 100 to 300, the groups are have listed the cost centers, 100, 200 and 300. Obviously, the disadvantage of this option is that it would require a bit of more cost center group maintenance.
In regards to point 2, I understand from your note that your users already have set up selection variants for the report. One option for you is to get the help from a developer to create a custom period variable and tiny program that runs in batch every month that would update that variable accordingly. Once that's done, you may have to update at least once, the selection variant attributes to change the period to a selection variable, so everytime from that point of time forward that the variable gets updated, it will be ready with the right value for every selection variant that uses it.
Hope this helps.

High Memory utilization for a single project

Hi All,
I am facing one issue with one of the projects configured. We have endeca installed on a Windows server and there are multiple projects setup. I am observing that dgraph.exe for a single project is taking as much as 80% of memory on server. I do see that the project is receiving around 300 to 350 requests every day which is slightly higher than other projects. I am required to manually restart the project before business starts and that releases the memory. I am not able to identify whats causing this issue. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot the issue?
Any suggestions will be of great help..
Thank You,
Sunil

The number of threads will not have any impact on memory usage, however, I agree with Saleh that this doesn't make any sense.
I would suggest the following:
Grab the stats page XML (http://[your server name]:[your port]/admin?op=stats).
Restart the dgraph and see how much memory is taken up on the initial load. Then, assuming the memory consumption is reasonable, issue a couple N=0, N=something queries to the index and track what's happening with how much memory is being taken up.
If you're still at a normal level, it seems like there must be some process or "bad query" that causes the memory to spike. A possible culprit might be found on the "most expensive queries" section of the stats page but it's possible it won't be there as that only tracks queries that have completed, not queries that are still in process or taking forever.
The only other explanation I can think of is a rogue "bulk export" query where a user is trying to (for example) export the entire index to excel or something like that. Does your application offer that functionality?

Config for Cost & budgeting at activity level and WBS element level in PS

Dear GURU's,
please suggest me how to do the spro configuration for budgeting and costing, here my requirement is I need to do cost planning and budgeting at WBS element level and Activity level. We two deferent types of projects.
Regards,
Bha

Hi Bhanu,
Cost planning in projects can be done through two techinques:
I. Manual cost planning (at WBS level)
1. Overall planning (Struture-oreiented planning)
2. Detailed planning (Cost element planning)
3. Unit costing
4. Easy cost planning form
II. Automatic cost planning using networks and assigned orders
For customizing: Use transaction OPUV and enter the required entries for cost planning.
Budget can do only at WBS level. For configuration do the following steps:
1. Create Budget profile - OPS9
2. Assign Budget profile in Project profile - OPSA
3. Then allot budget to your project - CJ30
hope it will be very clear. Appreciate with point if it useful.
Thanks and Regards

Remaining questions while evaluating JavaFX for a new project

Dear forum members:
currently I am evaluating the possibilities of next-generation GUI technologies, such as JavaFX, Silverlight and Flash/Flex, for a new project. To get a basic understanding of JavaFX's concepts, I worked through the available online text and video tutorials, and all the treated topics seem quite obvious/comprehensible to me +as long as one is only confronted to relatively static GUI component hierarchies+. But, as a newbie, some questions concerning more dynamically defined GUIs (i.e. dynamic JFX scripting*) still remain.
Application scenario (exemplary):
Say I want to create a "Online Shopping Application" that supports "+ShopOwners+" in *dynamically* defining the "+Shop Model+" structure, e.g. accepted visitor (client) categories, product categories their products, pricing information, payment methods, etc.
Then, based on the dynamically defined model, the shop owner should be able to design and layout the necessary forms, such as order forms, survey/feedback forms, etc. This should be done in "design mode", and there should also exist a possibility for him/her to preview the specification results in a "preview mode".
Finally, the shop owner must be able to save the model and forms on the server side in a way that can requested and run be the shopping app end users (the shop clients) via (another (?)) JavaFX frontend.
_The still remaining questions for this scenario are:_
+1. Is JavaFX appropriate for creating such kind of applications, especially when it comes to dynamic JFX scripting (and compilation) on the client side??? (By now I'm not quite sure if this is really necessary for my plans!)+
+2. Concerning the ShopOwner's GUI with its design and preview mode (and knowing that the latter mode will be the GUI version presented to the shop clients in another JFX module):+
+Is it possible to *dynamically *build up a +Scene Graph+ in a way that lets me handle and *compile* the corresponding +JFX Script+ on the client side for previewing it? Or is a client-server roundtrip absolutely necessary?
How could one persist this JFX Script on the server side? I.e., which intermediary format would be the most appropriate? => XML, JSON, JFX Script?
3. Concerning the "Shop Model", would I optimally create JFX classes or even Java Beans to bind to?
4. And finally: What would be your recommended way (software architecture) to fulfill this task in JavaFX?
Do there already exist some JFX components (dynamic forms/survey authoring modules, etc.) that persue a similar task and that I didn't find yet?
As the clarification of the above-mentioned issues are very important for me, I hope that you more experienced users can help me, pointing me to a practicable approach.
Thank you very much for any help and constructive tips in advance.
Best regards

Q1: Do I optimally need 2 different custom components for each treated concept, or do I have just 1 component with 2 internal modes (design & preview/usage)??
E.g., (a) FormSpec widget composed of LabelSpec, TextBoxSpec, ChooseBoxSpec,... widgets each having their preview pendants
Form, Label, TextBox, ChooseBox, etc.
versus
+(b) only Form widget composed of Label, TextBox, ChooseBox widgets, but all having a "design/preview execution mode".+
Closer to (b), I think, though each widget doesn't need to be modified to have design and preview modes. Instead, each widget can be wrapped within a Group to provide the design/preview functions without modifying the widget itself.
The technique is as follows. Given a sequence of widgets (Nodes, really), for each widget, wrap it in a Group that contains that widget but with an overlay Rectangle in front of it. The Rectangle can be semi-transparent, or fully transparent if you prefer. (In the example below I've made it a semitransparent color to make its location obvious as well as to provide a highlight that signals design mode.) The overlay Rectangle is set up so that its dimensions will exactly track the dimensions (bounds) of the widget behind it. I've set blocksMouse to true so that when it's present, the overlay traps events and prevents interaction with the widget. There is a boolean variable previewMode, controlled by a CheckBox, that controls the visibility of these overlay rectangles. I've also added a bit of code to track mouse events on the overlay rectangles so that you can move the widgets around when you're in design mode.
Note that the visible variable differs from transparent, i.e. opacity == 0.0. If a node is visible but is transparent, it is still eligible to receive events; whereas if visible is false, it does not receive events.
Here's some code that illustrates this technique. I'll answer your other questions in a subsequent post.

How to reconstruct the statistical cost of project stock?

Hi, Experts,
We added the statistical cost element of 90 category for project stock BS account.
Now we find that some of the project stock don't have statistical cost,
some of the project stock have statistical cost(Value type: WRTTP=11).
How can we reconstruct the statistical cost of project stock to make it right?
Thanks a lot in advance.

How to capture the cost on project of freely supplied components to vendors

Dear Friend's,
My client is sending some child components to their vendor's on free of cost basis to manufacture products like panels, tanks etc. for any particular Customer Project.
Once these products gets manufacured by vendor, they supply to client stores, from here my client is doing the delivery & billing to their customer's.
Here my client's requirement is that they wanted to capture the cost of free supplied child componenets to vendors for any particular project.
How i can capture this cost for any project..............Kindly give some input on this scenario to full fill the requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep Theurkar

Dear Sandeep
How is the client "sending" the parts to the vendor?How are you maintaining the process of sending these parts to the vendor?
Are these parts maintained in the Organization's inventory?
Thanks and Regards

Binocular search for Cost Center is not returning any data

Hi Gurus,
When clicking on the SRM-Shooping Cart-Cost Assignment- Account Assignment Overview- Cost center Binocular search icon, it is not returning any data. However, when drilling down in the Account Assignment Overview, you will see another Binocular search icon for Cost Center which is working fine.
Any idea of how you troubleshoot it.
Thanks in advace for your help.
HA

Not sure about the cost assignment drill down, but after we applied SP13 to SRM server 550 the binoculars for cost center stopped working. the following note corrected this.
Note 1259735 - Search help of generic account does not work
If it has never worked, then probably need to setup a RFC dialog user for the F4 search help, Multiple threads on here around the dialog user for F4 with details on configuration and use.

Actual activity price does not exist for cost center / activity type

Hi,
We are trying to upload the time sheet related data(number of hours an employee workred on a project) ect from Non SAP to SAP.
We have used a customized program and have loaded the data from se38.
All this HR data will be saved in CAT2
Later we transfer the time related data into SAP FI/CO using CAT7.
+When tested with a couple of employees time sheets, they got uploaded in SE38 proerly and when transfered it through CAT7 it was properly taking the hour*rate is cost and was reflecting in the respective cost element.
For a few time sheets in SE38 we were getting an error saying that the cost center(100501)/ activity type(EAT001) does not exist for 2010.
Hence we have taken, FY 2010, the cost centes and activity types in KP26 and have given the planned Activity as 1. No planned cost in KP06.
We have run the price calculation forr the FY 2010.
Then we were able to uplaod the time sheets, but when we tried to transfer the data through CAT7, it throws an error saying no activity price exist for cost center 100501/ activity type EAT001. If I ignore the warning an proceed, no amount is being calculated.
When uploaded employee time sheets before, all the cost were getting claculated and were entering into the respective cost elements, but now no amounts are being calculated and it is taking Zero.
When checked the previous years data i.e, 2009 all amounts are fine, in KSII I can see the activity quantity filled with some numbers in 2009, where from are they comming? I have checked KBk6 nothing was mentioned.
PLease assit
Regards,
shilpa

Hi
I never used CAT* though, but the error means that you need to maintain a activity price in KBK6 (Actual price)

Project Server 2013 for Resource Planning & Project Portfolio Management

We are looking to use project server 2013 for resource and project portfolio management. We are an IT department of approximately 600 growing to 1,000 within the next several years.
We would like to us PS2013 to do the following :
Manage Portfolio of Projects
Manage Resources against this Portfolio
Calculate Project Finances using resource roles and rates
I would be grateful to have both comments on experience , both positive and negative.
Thank You

Many teams within organizations are turning to Project Server to help them control resources, deliverables and costs better. It does resource management very well with work & cost resources, baseline costs, material costs, budget costs and
out of the box earned value analysis (EV). The Strategy (portfolio) component is very powerful and it will help you identify project that align to your objects then do what if analysis to find the right mix of projects.
Here are a couple of things you should think about when moving to PS2013:
1) Who will be using the tool? If it is a mix of onsite staff, remote staff, vendors, contractors etc. you may want to think about a hosted solution.
2) Training. Don't assume everyone will just magically 'know' how to use the tool. Train everyone (team members, PMs, Executives) then train them again. It's the only way to truly get the value out of the tool.
3) Who will manage the system? This is not a typical application. The right administrator needs SharePoint, Project Server, SQL Server, MS Project, Analysis Services and SQL Report writing skills. Please note that much of this can
be learned by the right person but DEFINITELY find the right person.
4) Don't start customizing right out of the box. You will get frustrated. Adjust your organization to the tool early on. I know that is easier said than done but you need a realistic approach to get tool acceptance moving early.
5) Use workflows but don't use them right out of the gate. Workflows are great but I suggest you wait until phase 2 or 3 to start aligning them to your business processes.
6) Lastly and most importantly, you must first establish your own business processes THEN align them to the tool. DO NOT assume the tool will create business process for you. You must think about how you are going to initiate a project,
how are you going to track deliverables, how will time sheets be managed, etc. Get to a whiteboard, crack open Visio and start building and establishing your processes now. PS 2013 is pretty flexible and usually will align well with existing business
processes.
And don't forget to hire a good consultant. They can be brought in during key phases of your roll-out to add value, help you avoid risks, and provide you with best practice advice.
Good luck.
