Assiging wbs element as settlment receiver in service order settlement

Hi PM CS Experts.
We are using scenarios of creation of service order from sales order. So whatever cost we incurred for service order settling to sales order via settlement rule - settlment receiver is Sales order i.e. SDI. We are using settlement profie XX which have default object type for settling SDI. While releasing the service order the settlement rule created with settlement receiver is SDI.
Now for different business scenarios, we are settling service order cost to WBS. Now we want to create a settlemetn rule for WBS, settlement receiver will be WBS element, while saving the service order. What configuration, master data or processes we have to follow for this.
please reply on this.

Sales Order line item have account assignment WBS element. From this sales order line, a service order will be created. So our idea is whatever cost booked to service order should be settled to wbs element instead of sales order.
also in location tab of service order, the wbs element from sales order is not inherrited in account assignment section. Why this we are not knowing. Have you have any idea for this.

Copying WBS element (a/c assignment ) from sales order to Service order

HI Controllers,
I got one requirement it is , we need to copy the account assignment (WBS element ) from sales order line item to service order line item . Morever same wbs element shud be used to create automatic settlement rule in service order.
This should also work even if user changes the WBS element later. i.e, updated WBS element should again update service order and settlement rule automatically.

Hi Sneha
You can use Exit MV45AFZB in order to copy the account assignment objects... Use the Form USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_COBL with in MV45AFZB
You can use the same exit to update your settlement rule as well

Service Order settlement

Hi,
I need to set-up settlement of a service order. Can anyone tell how to go about it? To which elements does usually a service order settles? Primary/Secondary, is secondary the how does it get posted to G/L ?
Thanks,
Pankaj.

hi pankaj..
Settlement takes place through settlement rules you have created for the order.The costs are initially collected on the order. They are then transferred to the settlement receiver (Fixed asset ,Cost center ,WBS element,Order ,G/L ccount ,Material ,Asset under construction etc)specified in the settlement rule.
You can settle an order if:
1.It is released
2.It has the status Settlement rule created
3.Costs collected for it have not yet been settled
4.A business completion has not yet been performed for it
Creating a Settlement Rule Manually
Call up the order in change mode.
Choose Settlement rule.
The following cases can occur:
If a settlement rule already exists for the order, you reach the screen Maintain Settlement Rule: Overview directly.
Check the settlement rule.
To change it, go to detail data on the Maintain Settlement Rule: Distribution Rules screen, where you can make additional entries.
If a settlement rule does not yet exist for the order, you must first specify whether you want to maintain the settlement rule with or without the system proposal for the distribution rule. A screen appears where you can maintain the settlement rule.
Make all the necessary entries on this screen.
Return to the order and save it.
I think this will help you

Service Order Settlement - assigned to PSG

Hi,
I need a help regarding Service Order Settlement assigned to Profitability Segment.
Currently, in our system every item of SD Invoice posts revenues and COGS to profitability segment (PSG).
Main characteristic of PSG are: Customer, Product, Division, Profit Center.
We have implemented CS module using in Car maintenance service.
And now in CS module it is not possible to get PA document automatically after an invoice posting so we have to settle Service Order to PSG.
But Settlement rule for Service Order is not on item level (per every material-product separately).
We wants to have the same rules (per Product char.) for Service Order as we had so far in SD.
Is it possible to customize Settlement rule of Service Order on item level?
For instance according to an Invoice items from document flow:
Thanks,

WBS element field mandatory for specific sales order

Hi Friends,
I want to make the WBS element field in sale order line item to be mandatory for a specific sales order type. I am not able to add this field in incompletion log also. So can anyone let me know the solution for this.
Ratna

Hi,
As solution suggest above is correct use VBAP table and Field is PS_PSP_PNR into ur incompletion log and assign this procedure to ur Item category. And If u want to WBS element check at header level the use VBAK table and field PS_PSP_PNR and assign this incompletion log to ur sales document type.
Once more setting is required to stop the order from saving if incompletion check is unsucessful, for that you need to check a checkbox named "Incomplete. Message" in VOV8 tcode, for ur perticular sales document types.
Hope this will resolve ur problem.

Billing of a WBS Elements when we use a purchase order.

Hi,
My question is: Usually we use purchase order of the provider to create the delivery and after that the billing document. We use transaction VL04 to do that. It is a process of intercompany billing.
We have too, a process that we use a WBS Elements and after that we create a delivery and a billing document.
So, how can i use the two billing process in the same bill? The goal would be bill a WBS Elements using the original purchasing order of the provider VL04.
           Best Regards

User exit for profitability segment in service order settlement rule

Does anybody know if exit EXIT_SAPLKEAK_001 works for the profitability segment creation during the creation of a settlement rule of a service order?
The context is the following: the company uses service orders which are settled periodically (it receives revenue from sales order which is posted to the service orders at time of billing, and also costs at time of goods issue). The profitability segment in the settlement rule of the service order needs to be the same as the one from the billing document that posted to the order.
Can I use EXIT_SAPLKEAK_001 to find the characteristics from the billing document and populate it in the PSG of the settlement rule? If yes, could this be applied to only one specific service order type?
Thank you.

Hi
If your settlement is triggered by a batch or is triggered by a workflow exit EXIT_SAPLKEAK_001 is not run. From release 5.00 on characteristic groups are indeed not considered any more during batch input processes because there were problems before with initial chars of a CO-PA line item resulting from a batch input process that actually shouldn't be initial.
Refer SAP Note 581739, which put an end to usage of char groups during batch input processes. Also refer SAP Note 142628.

Service Order settlement to GL

Hi,
I want to settle the service order created for customer under warranty to a - Warranty Claim GL.
I have maintained the settlement rule in the service order for Gl and have given the - Warranty Claim Gl also.
Settlement in KO88 is also happening with full amount being settled to the GL (Material + labour).
My query is since the material consumption is already shown as an expense do we need to settle the material part also to the GL.
What is correct method to process service order under warranty?
Also where i can default the settlement Rule for the service order?

Hi,
What you said is correct because the Gl - Warranty Claim is only getting debit and credit for settlement.
How actually is the process for customer warranty done through service order.
The client wants to post cost incurred to service the machine to the GL - Warranty claim.
Since they cannot bill the customer.
what is the correct method of doing the service order under warranty.

Archived Service Orders settling in the month end job!!!

Hi All,
Service orders were archived using object PM_ORDER and now the month end settlement job has settled some very old service contracts. Why is this happening inspite of running the archive pre process job which ensures that the service orders have been settled before archiving them.
What can be done to correct them? We have a list of order numbers which have got settled, but not sure how to set this problem right.
Plus need to prevent this from happening in the next month end settlement.
This is a critical issue.. so any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Janani

Hi ,
1) In general , archived Orders won't be avl in the system for process. Check whether those orders are really archived .
2) While running preprocess for archiving that is deletion process for Orders , it might have closed/deleted the linked objects ( for e.g. Purchase requisitions,reservation, etc ) . System might have settled those orders in the current settlement run

Appreciate your help and time in this regard.....

My problem scenario is like this.
We have two plants A and B of the same Co.Cd. We are physically closing plant A and moving everything into B. Now the open service order costs from plant A have to be moved to plant B. How do we do this?
Do we have to create a new service order/WBS element for all old open service order/wbs element?
Also where do we connect the service order and wbs element?
Appreciate your help and time.

While creating the Debit memo in VF01 different WBS element is getting determined which is not activated for account postiing in CJ03.
Kindly help me out why the different WBS element is coming in billing doc and how this determation will happen in billing.

Settlement of order -WBS Element

Dear Experts,
Can any one tell me what is meant by WBS element and in what scenario,PM orders settlement rule created with category as WBS.If possible tell me with any practical example.
regards
KRISHNAN

Dear,
Dear,
Budget: Amount of resources allocated under a particular head in a financial year.
Budget Control: Having/ creating a control on the resources allocated in a financial year.
Original Budget: The initial budget that you have allocated to a WBS element.
Supplement of Budget: One time/ discrete increment in the original budget.
Return of Budget: Taking out the unutilized portion of the budget.
Transfer of Budget: Transferring the budget among two or more expense heads.
Project Definition: A framework for a business undertaking with a fixed goal to achieve with given resources.
The project definition contains dates and organizational information that are binding for the entire project.
WBS Element: Individual structural element in a work breakdown structure (WBS) representing the hierarchical organization of an R/3 project. Describes either a concrete task or a partial one that can be further subdivided.
Proposed Business Process
Assume there are seven expense heads in maintenance department. There may be addition of expense head in near future.
Based on the maintenance heads, maintenance department will create a project in project system. This project will be used for statistical purpose only & will not have any financial implication.
Upon creation of a project, WBS elements will be created as per the expense heads. So for each expense head, there will be one top level WBS element. Again these WBS elements will be divided in twelve WBS elements. These twelve WBS elements represent twelve calendar months.
Budget will be allocated to each WBS element & the WBS element will be released from the project.
Maintenance department will create maintenance orders as per their work requirements. These orders will be settled to cost centre, which is maintained in the settlement rule. Also WBS element will have to be mentioned in each order so that the budget control can take place. So as to capture cost from each maintenance order, the WBS element field will be made mandatory field in maintenance order.
So when a maintenance order is released, system will do a budget check against the WBS element mentioned. If the budget check status is OK, order is released or else it will stopped from release. If the order is stopped from release, maintenance department will have to supplement the budget. Upon supplementing, the order is released again & the maintenance cost such as, labour, material costs can be booked on the order. Again the order cost is settled to cost centre & at the same time, budget is consumed from the respective WBS element.
Every year, maintenance department will copy the previous years project so as to save time & efforts to create project & WBS elements. And the maintenance department will assign the budget allocated to each WBS element in a financial year.
It is also possible to return the unutilised budget or, transfer of budget from one WBS element to another.
Create a project CJ20N
Create WBS element CJ20N
Assign Budget to WBS elementsKO22
Display assigned Budget KO23
Supplement Budget KO24
Display Supplement budget KO25
Return Budget KO26
Display Return budget KO27
Transfer of budget CJ34
Hope u wull get ur answer
