Hello,
You can create aan appropriation request for WBS as investment measure:
Choose a number range
Cost planning profile
Rev profile
If you have already defined a Investment Program type, you can use that.
In the allowed measure, choose WBS, and an existing project profile
With above basic settings, you can start using Appropriation request.

Workflow for appropriation requests

Hi friends,
This is regarding the approval process for appropriation requests.
The necessary Event linkage activation, partner determination procedure, appropriation request types, defining of approval levels for AR and other necessary configurations. When I am clicking the "for approval" button, the workflow gets started. But the corresponding person is not getting the mail in his inbox for approval.
Please give a solution asap.
regards
Pratap.V

Hi Sreenivas,
I already did this. Still the problem exists.
Frankly speaking, I know I am making a silly mistake somewhere because I have done all the major settings required. And I am finding it difficult to trace this small mistake. It will ne good if you can send some screen shots of all the configuration required for this.

Investment Mgmtt - Displaying Appropriation Request (Error Message AO272)

Folks,
I've got a peculiar problem which I hope you could advise.
After upgrade from R4.6C to ECC6.0, I am not able to display a Appropriation Request. Here's my steps:
1. I executed transaction code IMA11;
2. Clicked on New Selection and entered Appropriation Request - The appropriation request was displayed in the navigation pane;
3. Double clicked on the Appropriation Request and I got the following message:
"There is no plan profile in approp. request type Z1 for plan maintenance" - This is the error message AO272.
I thought that there must be a config that has not been maintained but when I checked the R4.6C version, I do not get this error and the Appropriation Request work just fine and there is no difference in the configuration for the Appropriation Type between the two systems.. There is also no user-specific message control maintained in both systems.
Would appreciate you input! Points will be rewarded for solving this problem.
Thanks!

Hi,
Please check whether planning profile is maintained for that appropriation request type. If not maintained, maintain planning profile in transaction 'OIF2' and assign it to your Appropriation request type.
Thanks

Appropriation Request Flag - Ordinary/Extra-ordinary budget

I want to identify which Appropriation Request will erode a budget of type ordinary or extra-ordinary. Instead of creating a separate level in my investment structure, I want to flag my Appropriation Request with a tag which I can identify in reports.
Which transaction/component in SAP IM will let me do this?
I have tried without luck with STRGTFLG.... Any help....
Thanks,
Veronica

Do you want to use some of the standard fields available in the master data of the appropriation request like Appropriation Request Type?
If none of the standard fields provided by SAP are suitable for User Fields can also be added. Attached screen shot will expalin what I meant.
Please see this documentation Functions of the Appropriation Request Type - Investment Management (IM) - SAP Library especially the paragraph "Master Data".

Appropriation request

Dear Experts,
The MA (Marketing Expense) Appropriation request type is configured to map to MA Project Profile. However when I see in the Measures/Assets tab in appropriation request M-XXXXXX, it shows the Project Profile is CA .
Could anybody tell me what could be the reason for this?
Thanks..
Sri

Re-check the AR type once again and see which project profile is assigned. Maybe someone could have changed the project profile in AR type and created that particular AR.

You cannot use approp. request type 1 without a project profile

Dear All,
What should i do. I tried to create appropriation request. Error message appears
You cannot use approp. request type 1 without a project profile
Message no. AO257
Please help.
Cheers,
Nies

You create Apr request which can either get replaced with Internal Order or Project/WBS after approving the request.
For this to happen, you need to have assigned either order type/project profile in the Apr request type.
Config Node where you maintain this is below:
Investment Management>Appropriation Requests>Master Data>Control Data>Maintain Appropriation Request Types
Maintain the profile and set the indicator WBS element as Allowed measure.
Better refer the Best Practice Configuration Guide available for Investment Management on SAP help portal.

Appropriation request planning

Hi All,
Where can I go to plan against an appropriation request per month? Currently I can only plan per Year.
Regards,

You can only plan overall and annual values for appropriation requests. It is not possible to plan according to cost elements or revenue elements as you can on orders or WBS elements (specially detailed cost planning per month).
If these methods of determining planned costs are not detailed enough for you, then you can use the functions of Easy Cost Planning for detailed cost planning directly on the appropriation request.
Prerequisites
You have to enter a costing variant in the planning profile for cost planning of appropriation requests. This planning profile has to be entered in the appropriation request type (in the Cost and revenue planning group box).
You can create a cost estimate for any appropriation request variant, which does not yet have a cost estimate and for which there are no plan values outside of the planning interval. Set up the planning interval in the planning profile for cost planning so that planning in the past is also possible.
The appropriation request type has to allow either only projects or only orders as measures.
If you want to copy the cost estimate to the measure later, then you have to set the Copy cost estimate indicator in the appropriation request type.
You edit planning profiles in Customizing for Investment Management. Choose Appropriation Requests -> Planning -> Cost Planning -> Maintain Planning Profile for Cost Planning.
For appropriation request types, choose Master Data -> Control Data -> Maintain Appropriation Request Types.
If these preconditions for costing are not fulfilled, then you cannot jump from the appropriation request to Easy Cost Planning. The system suppresses the necessary pushbutton in that case.
Features
You can enter only one cost estimate for each appropriation request variant.
The overall value that results from the cost estimate can be divided into investment costs and overhead costs on the basis of the investment percentage rate. The system multiplies the combined costs from the cost estimate by the investment percentage. The result is the amount of investment costs.
Once you have entered a cost estimate for a variant, you can no longer change the overall plan values manually. Any changes have to be made in the cost estimate. Only by deleting the cost estimate can you make investment and overhead costs available again for manual processing.
Revenue planning is separate from the cost estimate. Therefore you can still process revenue amounts even if you created a cost estimate.
For general information on the costing method, research on Easy Cost Planning further.

Ammar

Hi,
You said you are trying to do this stuff in IDES right.
If you are using IDES provided by a company and where many people play on IDES, then you can get many such issues...
This is by our experience. Today you do something in IDES and tommorow that thing or config is screwed up by others.
If you have your own IDES, then check the suggestion given by the forum Guru's.

Workflow for Approval of Appropriation Request

Dear experts,
I have been working on Workflow for Approval of Appropriation Request.
Even after carrying out all the required configuration, the process is not working. Following are the symptoms:
When appropriation request is submitted for Approval, I am maintaining user ids of approvers in the Partner field.The moment I click For Approval status the Approve Button is deactivated.Even when I log in from the Approver's user ID the button is Deactivated.
When I check the Business Workplace Inboxes of Approvers there are no Workflow related mails.
please help me out
Regards,
srikanth

srikanth,
Have you maintained all the configurations related to Work flow in IMG? like activating event linkage, assigning agents, approval schema etc...
Also, have you maintained the workflow automatic configuration in transaction SWU3,
you have to maintain the following:
1. create a user id WF-BATCH, user type system and maintain a password for this user (seek BASIS team help for doing this)
2. Assign SAP_ALL & SAP_NEW in user profile tab.
3. in SWU3, under Maintain Runtime Environment --> Maintain Workflow System Administrator , select line and click on execute button, select user - WF-BATCH, save and back.
4. then in the same screen select *Configure RFC Destination * click on execute, system prompts with the user id mentioned in the above step, you enter the password mentioned in the first step, click OK.
5. now select *Maintain Runtime Environment * click on perform automatic configuration button (f9).
6. Ensure that the option Maintain Runtime Environment turns to Green tick mark.
7. select Classify Tasks as General click on perform automatic configuration button (f9).
8. Ensure that the option Maintain Runtime Environment turns to Green tick mark.
Now can go to transaction SWDD, on the left side of the screen, in the field WORKFLOW enter this value* WS00300022* press enter. Click on test (F8) button.
In the Test Work flow screen select BUS2104 line, it shows a new line at the bottom of the screen with the following options:
Object type: BUS2104, Key:
You enter the appropriation request number in the field key (you cannot directly enter value here, choose drill down option (f4) then a new window pops up, enter the approp request number, click ok.
then click on execute (f8).
Now you can check in the approver's business work place under Inbox - workflow.

Appropriation Request Workflow Not Working

Dear Friends,
I have been working on Workflow for Approval of Appropriation Request.
Even after carrying out all the required configuration, the process is not working. Following are the symptoms:
1) When appropriation request is submitted for Approval, I am maintaining Ser ids of approvers in the Partner field.The moment I set the For Approval status the Approve Button is deactivated.Even when I log in from the Approver's user ID the button is Deactivated. I believe that, it is so because once workflow is active one can not approve in master data transaction, approval has to be done thru workflow only.
2) When I check the Business Workplace Inboxes of Approvers there are no Workflow related mails.
3) I have also checked in IMA11 that the Work flow has been created.
Ne suggestion on the would be of great value.
Regards,
Seemant

I checked all these.
Still there is no success.
In the appropriation request I have maintained different users as partners ( excluding myself) partners. As per the Workflow the mail should go to inbox of these users. Work flow is getting activated but still its not geting updated in the inboxes of users.
Are there any Basis settings that I may be ignoring.
Also the object type BUS2104 is being used. In forum I have read that this object type is obsolete. May be I can change the object type to BUS2204 ( the new one). If I need to do the same, what are the settings I need to do?
Regards,
Seemant

Not possible to delete link investment program position from Appropriation request

Dear specialists,
We have a problem with deleting a linked investment program position in an appropriation request (IMA3, IMA11 or IMA12).
We could edit some of the appr.req.'s but a few give an error.
Steps done:
We deleted the status BUDG from the linked projects (budgets deleted and OPSX for deletion of status).
The we run the IM27_repeat.
For the most of the appr.req.'s the linke was removed (table IMZO).
For a few of our req.'s the link is not removed so that we can't link the new progr.pos. to this appr.req.
Regards,
Marcel

Hello Marcel,
Please check Customizing of the investment program type under 'assignable operative objects' in t-code OIT3 or in following path
SPRO --> Investment Management --> Investment Programs --> Master Data --> Define Program Types
Also check in following SAP note

Getting error in project creation from Appropriation Request

Hi SAPians,
When I am creating a project from appropriation request having same coding mask option(Option 1 in AR type), the project structure is not created as desired. Like I am copying a project from template I-00001 with WBS I-00001 at first level. But when I am creating project in AR by copying this std. project , created project definition is I-00001 and level 1 WBS is I-00001-01. Because of this project entire project structure has changed.
can anybody help me this new created project structure as desired.
Thanks & Regards
Ramsha

Hi,
we also faces the same issue since replace optionis not there on IMA11, what we did was, we created only 1 st level wbs through IMA11 and then inluded the rest using CJ20N using template.

Appropriation Requests

Hi
Can anyone explain me the importance of assigning a variant in Appropriation Request to a Plan version?
Also, I need some help in understanding how to show the cost distribution in an appropriation request if multiple projects are assigned to it. Actually, the businses process I'm involved in needs to attach multiple level-1 WBS elements to an appropriation request. So, I would like to know if I can show the cost splitting between the projects in the Appropriation Request.
Your help in this process is very valuable and will be rewarded with points.
Thanks,

I assume you have all IM relevant configurations in place (Program type etc.,)
Below is as an attempt to mention the process involved:
1. IM01 - Create the IM program
2. IM22- Create the Hierarchy structure (Ensure that AP's are allowed as measures)
3. IMA11-Create AP request. In the General tab mention the Partner (Approver) as your self. In the Control Tab mention the IM program and the Position ID.
4. Set the 'For Approval' status in Control data tab using IMA11.
5. Approve the AP from your mail Inbox using SBWP
For this to happen you need take help of an workflow consultant.
a.T Code OITN and activate the Event Linkage for AP requests
b.T Code PFTC, select the task type TS and task as 00300052, modify it from Menu Additional Data>Agent Assignment>Maintain. Click on attributes and select the radio button General Task.
6. Create and Release AP using IMA11. Choose the Measures/Assets tab page, choose WBS element and on the control data tab set the status Release.
7. Create WBS structure in CJ20N. System should transfer the IM position information from the measure.
