1 project definition with several wbs elements or several project definitin

Hello
I need projects as account assignment elements in CO (when entering vendor invoices for costs). Should I have 1 project definition with all projects /wbs elements underneath, or should I have 1 project definition uniquely defined for each project/wbs element? Some projects are not settled to assets und construction, some projects are settled to assets und construction.
kind regards
Arjan

I don't think you can have Projects as account assignment objects. You can have WBS element as account assignment object.
One alternative I can suggest, if you want to see project costs at higher level instead of breaking down the project into many WBS elements. Create a project with one WBS element only and use that WBS element as account assignment object.
It is only possible to have a project with one or more WBS elements. I don't think you can define projects within projects.
letus put it this way assume WBS elements are projects within a project. But make sure all the WBS elements are related to one project
Hope you are clear now.
Thanks

(ABAP-FI)How to get project definition from agiven WBS element

Hi,
I have to update some columns of PRPS table relating to a WBS element.
While using BAPI_BUS2054_CHANGE_MULTI it wants project definition to be passed as an input parameter.
Is there any means to know project definition for a given WBS element of PRPS table.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sourya Prakash.

Hi,
why don't you display table PRPS in SE11 to see what fields you have there? It's not that hard to see that there is a field PRPS-PSPHI with description "Current number of the appropriate project". Yes, there is a link from WBS element to project definition.
Cheers

Report to get WBS elements based on Project Type

Dear Experts,
Is there any report exists in Project Systems to get WBS elements based on Project Types.
This we can check in the table PRPS-PRART.
But i need to know the availability of T Code.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If its a one time requirement using CN43N might help in meeting the requirement. However, first it has to be executed for a certain range of projects and then the layout will have to be changed accordingly. Instead of doing this if a custom report is developed with the input parameter as "Project Type" it would make it much more easier. You can even have the F4 search option for the input parameter. Doing this will help if the report is going to be used frequently in the future.
Take your call and proceed accordingly.

How to Find PS GUID with WBS Element (POSID) or Project Definition (PSPID)?

Hi all,
I am creating the custom Extractor similar to 0CO_OM_WBS_1 (WBS elements: Costs) to load into 0PS_C041 (Project System - Controlling (New)). I have the WBS Element (POSID) & Project Definition (PSPID) and I how can I find the GUID (UUID in X form Binary) so that I could map it into 0PSGUID InfoObject in the Transformation. We have WBS Element & Project Definition (PSPID) as Navigation Attributes of 0PSGUID instead of under some Dimension in 0PS_C041 Cube and that's why I am trying to find the GUID with WBS Element (POSID) or Project Definition (PSPID), PLEASE.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Bala
Yes, you have put it rather correctly.
We use WBS elements for booking and posting time (client requirement). So what I am looking for is WBS Elements with the system status TERL (Time and Expense Released).
I talked of the deletion flag also, because a WBS element flagged for deletion can't be used. It's one of the criteria to screen the WBS elements.
I hope it's clearer now.

Attach a network to several WBS elements`

hi to all,
i would just like to ask if its possible for a standard network to be assigned to several WBS elements? this is because i have a Standard WBS structure with elements having similar activities, i wonder if i could just create a single network then assign them to SEVERAL WBS elements and not just one.

Hi,
To assign the standard network Activities to multiple standard WBS elements please follow the procedure below:
1. Go to Tcode :CN02 (If the network is already created with CN01 or else create with Tcode CN01)
2. Select the Network in question.
3. hit F5, this will take you to the standard network Header.
Assign the WBS Element where this network header should be asisgned.
4. Hit Shift+F1, this will take you to the screen where internal, external activities can be entered. Please select the relevent tab. And enter all the activities.
5. By default all the activities are assigned to the WBS element mentioned in the Network header, this can be seen by scrolling little right in the same screen under the column standard WBS Element.
6. Pick the column Standard WBS element and drop it next to Operation short text.
7. Now identify the activities to which the different WBS elements need to be assigned. Either select them from the list or you may refer to Tcode. CJ93.
Hope it is clear now.

COPA - Multiple Sales Order with one wbs element. COPA does not reference

COPA - Multiple Sales Order with one wbs element. COPA does not reference of reference of sales order.
Hi All
Currently we are in process of implementation of project related to Club Service for one of the client.
Concept of this project is - there is "X" company engaged in supporting the different shared services for their client e.g. Client IBM - Shared Support Services of IBM is
u2022     IDM
u2022     Software Installation
u2022     Help Desk
u2022     Maintenance
Co.. "X' is performing these services for IBM.    So for Co. "X" - IBM is one engagement. Like this way Co. X is performing such activities for many companies e.g. microsoft, HP, ABN AMRO etc.
Objective - Get the consolidate report from COPA (Customer wise/services wise/sales order wise e.g. IBM/HelpDesk/10002/10).
We propose a solution to create a project for each engagement and with WBS element. Each WBS element of different services e.g.
Project IBM Inc. 100.100
WBS Element    100.100.IDM
WBS Element    100.100.SoftIns
WBS Element    100.100.HelpDesk
WBS Element    100.100.Maintainance
For this engagement (IBM), we are creating a sales order with line items (for services) and account assignment is WBS element. In a sales order, there may be two lines for one services.   In a particular period, there are many such sales orders for this engagement... Milestone billing/period billing is used depending upon the services rendered.
Now Cost Object will be WBS Element. So cost and revenue will posted to WBS and from this it goes to COPA. In a month of May 2009 two - sales order is booked with three different line items with account assignment is WBS element.
Sales Order Line Item No.....Item                  Account Assignment                      Revenue
10000          100     IDM      100.100.IDM              1000
10000          200     HELPDESK      100.100.HelpDesk              2000
10000          100     Maintenance      100.100.Maintainance         3000
Another Sales order booked with two different line items
10000          100      IDM     100.100.IDM          3000
10000          200      HELPDESK     100.100.HelpDesk          4000
Cost will be booked directly against WBS element.
In sales order level, there is no profitability segment, as cost object is WBS element.
Billing, revenue will be posted directly to wbs element, from this revenue and cost of sales goes to COPA.
Now in COPA,
1.There is only one line for WBS element ex. 100.100.IDM with revenue 4000 (combing both the sales order)
2.There is only one line for WBS element ex. 100.100.HelpDesk with revenue 6000 (combing both the sales order)
3.There is only one line for WBS element ex. 100.100.Maintainance with revenue 4000
In above case 1 & 2 we will not have reference of sales order and sales order line item in COPA table. There is only one line for this. So we can not have reporting to sales order level.
Is there any way by this the reference of sales order and sales order line will come in COPA for case 1 & 2.
Please help in this issue.

Hi,
For these case (multiple materials with different characteristics); have you consider going to next level of WBS Elements. Meaning; lets say currently you are assigning WBS "Engineering (which is a level 2 WBS)" to all the items in SO. Instead under "Engineering" create 2 or 3 level 3 WBS Elements as E1, E2 etc and assign them 1:1 to your sales order line items. This would eliminate the exit as welll as complex development option. And also will let you get all the data in COPA and in turn you can pull to BW as well for reporting. Just a thought.

Automatically PO creation from WBS element in a project

Hi,
Is it possible to create Purchase Order automatically from the project that has only WBS element (no network)?
My project has only WBS element and my client want to trigger PO creation automatically for prorements to projects.
I appreciate your replies.
Regards,
Ja

Hi Ja,
Sorry, but you cannot create a PO automatically for a project that has only WBS elements and no network or acitivites. Since materials can only be attached to activities in a project it is mandatory to have an activity to trigger a PO automatically from the project.
You may have to create a PO manually and then assign the WBS as account assignment.

Project System Cash Management in combination with statistical WBS element

Hi,
within a customer project, we have to solve the following issue:
Customer runs projects and statistical projects in combination with internal orders.
We want to use the PS Cash Management for planned and actual payments.
With statistical projects we have the following problem:
Invoice and actual payments will be processed with the transaction CJFN.
Actual payments are shown only on the internal order (transaction CJIA), but not on the statistical WBS element.
We want the information about the actual payments with in the project system reporting (S_ALR_87013574).
Projects, not flagged as statistical will deliver the expected results.
Many thanks for your ideas, to solve this problem.
Steffen

are u posting to some other cost object also. normally they wud have to be posted to a COPA also with the cost element being 11 category.
the wbs will receive the statistical posting, so there needs to be a real object also.
see whether the real object is getting derived.
the system is nt finding the real object and trying to post with the WBS in real, but since its statistical, the error.
any other calrifications. plz post.

PO for stock with statistical WBS element

Dear colleagues,
My customer wants to create Purchase Orders for regular valuated plant stock with a statistical assignment to a WBS element, so they can report on the total procurement costs per project/WBS.
They do not wish to use project stock, because of the integration with Demand Planning in APO.
Does anyone have an idea if this is possible and if so, how to configure this? I am out of ideas.
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

Standard Network with Standard WBS not creating the project

Hi,
I've got existing Network templates set up for various company codes. The std networks are linked to std wbs elements. This creates a full project structure when coping the standard network in CJ20N.
However, on an existing company code and plant, I am creating a network template with std wbs assignment, the point at which the other networks jump to the WBS create screen to replace WBS / Proj numbers etc... is NOT HAPPENING. The system immediately asks for a OPERATIVE WBS to be entered.
This company code specifically requested in the past that that their users only use operative WBS elements. Question: Where is it possible to set this restriction for a specific company code / org unit so the std network ignores the std wbs assignment and requests an operative WBS entry?
Thanks
Kru

Hi Krushan,
I am not clear what you need here?? Is it that you want to remove the check which is asking for a Operative WBS instead of standard for a particular company code?
My guess would be to check for any enhancements done for CJ01 tcode, using SMOD or CMOD.
Hope it helps you.
Cheers

Copy std wbs element in operative project & copy material components to SO

Dear Friend's
As i know following things not possible in std. sap ps. Still i would like to know is there any possibility to acheive same in std. sap ps.
1) I have created one std. project template, which is made for standardise Projects. Here we can copy same template for operative Projects. But my client having a requirement like they wanted to just copy a Single Std. WBS Element of any level from that std. project template to create operative project...can is it possible in std. sap ps.
2) Can is it possible in std. sap ps to copy the material component (like fert, halb, roh, hibe, hawa etc.) which we have planned in Project Builder to Sales Order.
3) In std. sap ps we can handle projects through multiple plants & multiple business area's. In my scenario cross plant & cross business area material's is supplied to any particular project. so same way can we create Sales Order for multiple plants & multiple busniess area's.
Thanks & Regards,
