1.can a WBS element be assigned to several Projects.
2. can a network be assigned to several WBS elements.
3. can an activity be assigned to several networks
4. can an activity element be assigned to several network activities.
thanking in advance.

Hi Priyanka,
Yes, Iam sure that a single network can be assigned to more than 1 WBS at a same time.
A WBS can be assigned several activities even different networks also if required, but an activity can be assigned to one WBS element only. Once activities are assigned to WBS elements, you can exchange data between activities and networks. For example activities can inherit statuses from the WBS elements they are assigned to. Conversely you can total up project activity dates to WBS elements or can check funds allotted to activities against WBS.
A single or several networks can be used in the project structure, to map individual aspects of the project such as activities that are linked to each other via relationships. The relationships between two activities define the logical sequence of the activities (predecessor u2013 successor relationship) as well as their time dependencies. Activities of different networks can also be linked to one another. Advantage of network technique is that, system can automatically determine planned dates for each activity and entire network on the basis of duration of individual activities and their chronological sequence.
Priyanka, I hope this may clear your doubt . .
reward points required please . . .

Hello ABAPers,
I have been using BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN to create Project and WBS elements and I have done them without any errors.
Now I need help on how to create network activities.
Can anyone share on how to pass data to I_NETWORK table and I_ACTIVITY table and a brief description on what they are ?
Thanks in advance,
KiranHi Kiran,
Do the following steps
1.pass the following to i_method_project
method_project-refnumber = lv_refnum.
method_project-objecttype = 'NETWORK-ACTIVITY'.
method_project-method = 'UPDATE'.
concatenate aufnr(network nr) vornr(activity) into method_project-objectkey.
2.Into i_activity
activity-network = aufnr.
activity-activity = vornr.
3.i_activity_update
activity_update-network = 'X'.
activity_update-activity = 'X'.
It should work.If not let me know.

ECP with network activities and sales pricing
Hi experts,
Currently I have configured the system so that I can plan costs by assigning Easy Cost Planning templates to network activities and WBS elements. However, when I try to create quotation (sales pricing) from Project Builder (CJ20N), the planned costs of ECP templates assigned to network activities does not appear, only the planned costs of ECP directly assigned WBS element appears.
Thanks in advance.
Hieu NguyenAfter extensive testing, I believe doing sales pricing from Project Builder would not work correctly when using ECP with network activity. Sales pricing from Project Builder will only work properly if ECP only assigned to WBS element.
If you need to use ECP with network activities, you would need to use DP82 to do the sales pricing.

I need a report of PS Text assigned to Project Definition or WBS Elements.
Dear Friend's
I need a report of PS Text assigned to Project Definition or WBS Elements.
By putting Project Definition or WBS Elements i must get all PS Text & print option is also required.
How i can do this in PS module.
Regard's
Sandeephi pratap,
on ps texts account, can u pl let me know, how i can restrict using the ps texts assigned to one project, bcos the same ps text can be edited or modified any other user.
ps texts may be different eg, different excel sheets assigned at wbs elements.
1. abc project wbs assigned xyz ps text (excel sheet)
2. zyx project wbs assigned xyz1 ps text (excel sheet)
the above are used by two different users.
if abc project user goes thru cj02 for editing the ps text xyz, but at the same time, if this user goes thru pull down list, he can also pick up xyz1 ps text and can do edit/modify.
is there any way to restrict thru basis/ps control or authorisations
my requirement whatever assigned ps text is only has to be changed/modified as & when the user opens project thru cj02
pl help

Report Painter Request - Cost Center and WBS Element
Hi Everyone,
Currently, my company settles all project related expenses through to a cost center by way of an internal settlement cost element (category 21). The issue with this is that when the expense gets to the cost center, they lose all visability as to where the expense originated, such as salaries or travel expense (category 1 cost elements). We can't switch the settlements to the originating cost element from wbs to cost center just because of the additional data/volume that will cause. My thought was to create a report painter that can run by cost center but also show the wbs's that settle to that cost center and group the expenses by primary cost element (cat 1). I'm assuming that there is a way to marry a cost center and wbs element by way of the wbs settlement rule but how would that be done for reporting purposes? I've seen it done before by way of a nightly job that created sets based on the combination of cost center and wbs but I'm not sure how that was done. Any advise and examples?
Example:
Cost Center: IT
WBS: A.0017.01.01 (settles to cost center IT)
Postings made:
1. CC IT and CE 552000 "salaries"..............................$20,000
2. WBS A.0017.01.01 and CE 552000 "salaries"........... $5,000
3. Settlement of WBS to CC (expenses flow through to CC IT by way of CE 985000)
I want to run CC IT and see that the account 552000 really shows $25,000 and can be broken down by cost object (CC and WBS by the amounts above)
Thanks,
PeteHi Peter,
I had a similar requirement and used report painter report group 1SHK-002 (in library 1VK).
I took a copy of the standard and ameneded it slightly, I switched the explode so it occured on the cost center not cost element.
The report runs so that direct costs on the cost center are shown at primary cost level. And values settled to the cost center are shown on the partner object. In your case i guess WBS Elements (Partner ObjType WBS).
Now in my case I didnt need cost element breakdown on partner level, just on cost center so effectively I have(sorry for text alignment but I hope you get the idea):
GL1 ............. 100
GL2 ............. 250
+ Cost center1 total ....350
GL3 ............. 50
GL4 ............. 100
+ Cost center2 total.... 150
Primary Cost Total ..... 500
X-YZ-1.200 ............. 50
X-YZ-1.400 ............. 100
+ WBS total ............. 150
IO 1............. 100
IO 2 ............. 100
+IO total ............. 200
Partner Total............. 350
Overall total ............. 850.
Its not exactly like your requirement but it might be a good report for you to work with to get what you need.

Relationship between tables milestone and wbs element
Hi Guys,
1.I have taken two tables in my source code retieving milestone number(mlst_zaehl), usage(mlstn),and wbs element(pspsnr)
from TABLE MLST and the other table is PRPS(WBS ELEMENT TABLE, and the fields are psphi(project) , and pspnr(wbs elemrnt,
The problem is i am not getting the project (psphi) FROM PRPS TABLE and the link field is PRPS-PSPNR = MLST-PSPNR.
2.Other requiremnt is in the same program, iam getting reservation quantity and also DELIVERY QUANTITY
if delivery qty equal to reservation quantity then exit and if the reservation qty is NOT equal to delivery qty,
i need to UPDATE the corressponding USAGE , MILESTONE TEXT, AND QTY in milestone table MLST.
please let me know any function to update milestone or BAPI or i sahll use BDC.
Reagrds
subbaraHi
I think you want to link MLST and PRPS tables to get the milestone fields...
From Table MLST - Mile stone number - MLST_ZAEHL and WBS element - PSPNR, link the WBS elements with PRPS table - WBS element - PSPNR and for project - PSPHI (Current Project Number).
For project number you can take from PRPS - PSPHI or from PROJ table

How to block reusage of archived Project definition and WBS element numbers
Dear All,
We have archived our projects using the TC SARA and the Project definition and WBS elements numbers no more exist in tables PROJ and PRPS etc.. When I now try to create a new project, the system proposes the next open number or allows to enter a number which is the same as one of the archived projects. But in our organization we cannot reuse the Project definition and WBS element numbers (even if it is archived) as a rule.
Can anybody guide me what are the possibilities to block or avoid the reusage of the numbers of archived project definition and WBS elements in a fool-proof way?
Thanks and regardsOne Workaround:
Use T code OPSJ and lock the project coding mask. Doing this you can not use this mask any more.
But you want to continue using the mask but with different numbers. Not sure how this can be acheived. lets wait for others view

Creation of project definition and wbs element
I want creation of project definition and wbs element upto 4 level using bapis.
i am using transaction cj27,cj01,cj02
which function module to use for this??Hi,
to create project definition with customer fields the BAPI you should use is : BAPI_BUS2001_CREATE
to create WBS elements with different levels and specific fields the BAPI you should use is BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI
these bapi must be used in the sequence of call :
BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION
BAPI_BUS2001_CREATE / BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI
BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT
BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
before using the bapi, you must apply OSS note :
637345 - Syntax error with enhanced PS tables
i sent you the oss note to your mail

CJ20N: handle Z table's related to project and wbs element
Hi there,
The requirement is to handle Z table for project and wbs element.
Example:
ZTAB1 has fields: pspnr | field1 | field2 (for projects)
ZTAB2 has fields: pspnr | field3 | field4 (for wbs element)
I found an enhancement that can read z table into internal table, i read it into screen and no problem.
I use it for wbs element too.
The problem is when the project has several wbs element's in tree, and the user navigate and change them.
I can't control the data in internal tables, since the user is swithcing.
How does the standard sap control the memory from each wbs element and project?
How can i read and save it separatelly?
Thanks in advance,

Hello Experts,
I have a question regarding WIP service order costs. Can we post the costs of a WIP service order to a WBS element? IF so where do we link the service order and project/WBS Element? How do we post the costs to WBS elements?
Appreciate your help and time in this regard.....
Thanks,
Harish RMy 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.
Thanks,
