  • Attachment/Notes to Billing Milestones in Project Builder

    Hi Friends,
    Does any one experienced so far "attachment/notes" to billing milestones in project builder.
    I will give more details so that it would be easy to go thorugh my question.
    In project builder, expand billing WBS element which have milestones in structure area, select any of one of them staying in structure area, righ click on milestone which opens another screen which display so many options. for example notes, attachment etc.
    My question here is that, is it possible to attachment documents etc to milestones?, if attached where we can see them.
    Aslo in regards to notes, where do we see and who are the others users can see those notes, I mean, SD, Finance etc. Let me tell you.  I tried to maintain some notes one billing milestone and could not see on SD or on billing document. I am curious. 
    How to activate to see those notes/attachments in PS so that data would flow to X-modules. What is required to activate such things so that PM in PS module can input his comments on billing related.
    Looking forward to hear from you all. Thanks in anticipation.
    Regards,

    is it possible to attachment documents etc to milestones?
    yes it is possible.
    if attached where we can see them
    After attaching on right clicking on the milestone you get an option for attachment list where you can view the same.
    in regards to notes, where do we see
    You can view in the option where you maintain the notes.
    who are the others users can see those notes
    Whoever has display milestone authorisation.
    I would like to mention one thing, the attachment which you are making by "Services for object" is specific to that object so it does not get carry forwarded to the relevant object.
    We had a situation where in the technical specification attached to the material component in CJ20N should get carry forward to PR and then to PO.We accompolished this using DMS as it is a standard functionality in it.Because attachment through DMS works on the Object Link concept.Also in DMS the original attchment is stored in content server and only the link is referred in the object.
    But in your case, you are using the "Services for object" which is utilising the SAP server itself, and here the original attchment itself is referred by the object and not the link.So it wont get transferred to the subsequent process object of different modules.Whereever you can display the object(milestone) you can view the attachments.

  • Service activity creation & automatic cost element picking up

    Dear All,
    We are facing a peculiar problem while creating a service activity in Project creation - CJ20N (Project Builder).
    1)     Created a project definition. ( say u2013 X200)
    2)     Created parent WBS element.
    3)     Created one Network.
    4)     Assigned one service activity to the network.
    5)     While assigning service master to the service activity, system is asking for a cost element. In other words, the cost element is not automatically picked up for the particular service master. Actually, while creating earlier project (say X100) & assigning service activity, system is correctly defaulting the Cost element.
    6)     Here the service number which we are using is the same as used in the earlier project (X100). In X100, based on the valuation class in the service master & settings maintained in the transaction code OBYC, correct GL account is getting picked up. 
    7)     We can give the cost element manually. If we do this, system is giving another message u2013 u201CSystem could not determine a consumption account for service 2000000202u201D, though it is maintained for the valuation class in OBYC.
    Why the cost element is not getting defaulted? Pl advice in this regard.
    Thanks & regards,
    Gov

    Check out the Network profile & Plant of of both the project
    Case 1 X100   May be getting defaulted from  network profile
    Case2 X 200   You might be using different network profile where you would have not maintained  CE.
    With Regards

  • Service activity creation in SAP from MSP (Microsoft Project)

    Dear All,
    As we are planning to integrate  SAP & MSP, I have one query regarding service activity creation in SAP from MSP.
    In case of service activity in SAP we have to assign respective services also otherwise it does not get saved.So when we transfer service activity from MSP (after maintaining the respective control key in MSP ) how we will manage with all services because we can not define these service in MSP.
    Apart from that we have some procurement parameters also like material group, purchasing org, price, outline agreement....we have nothing in MSP for these...so how we will  manage with this.....
    Please just share your valuable input to deal with this....Thanks..
    Regards
    Ashok Sangal

    Hi Harsh
    Thanks for your quick reply......
    I agree with you that by flexible field mapping we can do but my concern is that service activity should have services also defined in MSP  because when this will come to SAP , it will ask for services & if services are not available then this will fail.
    Please suggest your opinion ..
    Regards,

  • Issuing material to Service order contractor and tracking it

    Hi Experts,
    We are creating service activity PR, PO, Service acceptance as per standard SAP. We would like to issue materials to this contractor on free of cost and he would return balance material, if any.
    We can reserve material for this activity and goods issue against this reservation (using movement type 221). But this material will be consumed in project.
    Is there any solution for this?
    Regards,
    RSVRMurthy.

    Hi Murthy,
    From the scenario explaination I believe you make a common procurement for the project and provide it to the service executed by various departments such Electrical Instrumentation etc.
    In that case create a Procurement WBS element in your project structure along with the mechanical,electrical instrumentation WBS structure.Make all project related procurements under this procurement WBS element by attaching material through dummy Internal activities(as you cannot attach material directly to WBSE).
    Your department WBS element will have all the subcontractor service activities.When you want issue the material to a particular subcontractor activity,make a stock transfer from Procurement WBS element to the WBS element to which the service activity is attached(in your case 1000 M).Till now it will be in the inventory.When the subcontractor provides you the actual consumption data, make a goods issue to that service activity(in your case 800M).
    In this way you can track the
    1)total procurement of cable
    2)Cable lying with each subcontractor
    3) actual cable consumption by subcontractor
    4)actual material cost realising against the actual execution activity.
    But there are some points to be noted,
    Hope you will be following Project stock concept, with procurement type being Res+PR for WBS.In this case the reservation will be in the internal activity under with Material(Cable) is attached.That is in the procurement WBSE.So while closing the project you have to clear those open reservation.You have option for clearing open reservations while confirming.As I mentioned earlier the internal activities are dummy, you should have a control key with cost irrelevant.
    One more point to note, while issuing the material to the service activity, you have to make a manual issue as there wont be any reservation against this service activity(that is you cannot adopt details of the reservation).
    regards

  • How to put material and service in the same order

    I want to put the material and service in the same order. How do it input different taxes. and also migo for one material item and other service item.

    HI,
    In your scenario create material and service PO using T-code ME21N as follows.
    1) Select PO document type, vendor and PO date
    2) PO first line item account assignment 'N' if project and give input data material code,plant,storage location,qty,rate,delivery date and tax code.
    3) PO second line item account assignment 'K', item category 'D',material short text for service, plant,storage location,material group data's are input given and press enter it will open 'Service Tab' in Item Detail Menu.
    4) In item Detail Menu - Service tab you will give Service no.,qty,gross price for the above  service material activity and service tax code in Invoice TAB and then check PO and SAVE.
    5) After getting PO approved by top management.
    6) PO first line item, you will do MIGO and PO second line item you will do ML81N service entry sheet.
    7) On the vendor bill, you will mention material document number (GRN no.) & Service sheet number and given to accounts dept.. They will book vendor bill and give payment.
    Hope, it is useful for you and solve your requirement.

  • Problem while assigning service activity to WBS

    when i assign service activity to WBS element without filling any fields (like Purchase groupand Material group) it is going straight to Service Specifications.
    if we fill the service specifications and save the project we can save the project with out any errors
    i require entry of PurchaseGroup and Material Group is mandatory
    and then system should go to Service specifications
    Please advice

    Hi,
    Just check in Network profile, on Activity tab (TC: OPUU). You must have maintained required details like Material group, Purchasing group etc in Service activity section. Whenever you create a service activity these values get defaulted in activty. Let me know if it solves your problem.
    Reward points if helpful.

  • Material and Service upload in CJ20N

    Hi All,
    We have created a Project Structure (using CJ20N)
    Now, we want to create Material/Service PR under the Network .
    We have a flat file, which stores the Materials/Services details against Project/Network.
    There will be many such materials/Services against this Project/Network.
    Is there any Provision in SAP to mass upload this details, and thereby automating the creation of PRs.
    Please let me know any BAPI or any other ethod to fullfill this requirement.

    Hi Juheb,
    If you want automatic PR generated by system then you have to do MRP Run, but for that u have to assign the materials to the respectively wbs elements activity. and you can create a upload template also from your ABAP developer.

  • Material To be Valuated in Project System

    Hi All,
    We are implementing PS,MM,SD,FI &CO for a companay which works essentially on engineer to order scenario and using vlauated projec stock & actvity account assigned networks
    Inhouse production is through typical assembly processing process - Where input & output materials are transferred through BOM PS Transfer from WBS BOM.
    Input materials are issued to activity; work performed by work centers are entered by confirmation; at completion of work out put materials is 'Received from activity'. Both material issue and receipt are done wrt reservation.
    When this is done, as per standard process, the cost addition (and hence value addition) is to activity and thereby to WBS element. The output material is not valuated. All the cost(or values) become project value which will reflect in WIP calculation. WIP is calculated as month end process.
    At month end if the company wants to know the current asset from project and relevant stocks:
    = WIP of project + Inventory value of the mmaterials.
    Pl. note that only input materials i.e. raw materials and Bought out materials will have inventory value; the output material will not have any value.
    The process is alright and I think we are alos complying to Accounting stanadard for project system - directive from Institute of Chartered accounts - India.
    This process was first aceeptable to customer; but now they say -  the out put materials should be valuated. So that, when inventory value is taken - it is RM+BO and valuated semifinished +valuaed finished materials
    One big reason they say is that they have to show inventory value to the Banks.
    Now I need clarification in following points
    1. How to valuate the out put material when working only with project system. (apart from using user exit )
    2. If this is done, the project cost/WIP calculations will show ups amd downs - as goods receipt with valuated value will be with sign - this will reduced the cost. This will cause variuos problems - almost no standard SAP PS cost report will reflect the reality - WIP can not go up and down...This is illogical.
    3. Have you faced similar situation in implementation - that - Banks can not be conviced about this PSway of WIP calculation? Taking into consideration that project implementation is in India - an experienced reply can be very helpful
    Thanks and regards

    Dear Pradeep,
    When we work with network/activity/wbs element, Finished material is assigned to activity with sign. This means GR can be done. Technically system treats lke by-product. This material will not be valuated with in put costs...since there is no logic...For our convention, one WBS element, one network or one activity can be used to book all related costs..but still GR will happen with valuation as per valuation variant in NW only. This is quite logical and correct.
    So...customer wants to know the cost of manufacturing a complex project assembly..then process under one WBS element..cost accumuated at that WBS element is cost of mfg. I have kept such finihed material std price at Rs.1. (Ideally it should be '0'.). Meaning material will not valuated.
    Now if customer wants to knwo the cost ...look at WBs element
    If needed, you can do unit costing and update the value in a suitable field in material master.
    Therefore, I have kept all the semifinished/finished material std price at Rs.1.
    This way..std functions of PS like RA, costforecasting are work properly.
    For WIP calculation, this is of standard method and WIP will be current asset of company..this will be acceptable to Banks...one concern I had..cross checked with a Banker.
    Another issue was sub-contracting. In India during S/C..we have Delivery challan and legal requirement of excise. We developed a program integrating dc, excise challan, transfer posting, goods issue against reservation and mateials assigned in activity. For user it will appear as one transcation, and system will propmt/list appropriate excise challan No. based on dc no & material as input...(I hope i remember right).
    Again here GR of seni/finished naterial was atRs.1. since Service cosst, matarial issue cost get booked at activty.
    Thanks and regards

  • Is there any way to block PR changes when PO exists in project builder

    Dear All,
    Could you please advice...is there any way to block PR changes (quantity,price, etc) when PO exists in project builder ?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Nies

    Hi Nies,
    If you are not using the material then you can go for Validation, under Operative Structure> Network> Validation.
    Attach the validation with OPSA click on Automatic.
    In the second scenario if you are using Material Component, as Mr.Muralidharan said OPSG there you can restrict the change by selecting Error Message.
    1. Tcode OPSG in Setting see all the object are selected.
    2. Click on Component tab under change in Purchase Order Exist tab select Error.

  • Service Activity Creation Specific to Plants

    Dear all,
    We are creating new service activities in our organization, this new service activities are to be used only with a new Plant and new project,
    my concern is can we restrict the service activities getting created to a specific plant?? we need that the new service activities to be made available to only one plant, ie.. service PO getting created for the new plant only can make use of this Service activities, rest of the Plant POs must be restricted using this Service activities in there PO,
    it is just like creating Material master in the required plants only, can we do the same in case service activities as well??
    any round about solution,
    Thanks and Regards
    S Kumar

    Hi,
    For your specific pricing-->1st enter field SRVPOS for Activity Number in the following path:
    SPRO->MM-> Purchasing u2013 >Conditions ->Define Price Determination Process->Extend Field Catalog for Condition Tables
    & then you can create CONDITION TABLE ( lets say 951) with condition keys "Plant / Vendor / Service Activity"
    Now assign table 951 to access sequence for service .In  t.code: M/06 -assign access sequence for service  to condition type for service  and in t.code: M/08 -MM pricing procedure  procedure ,keep condition type for service ,then create condition record in t.code: MEK1 with combination Plant / Vendor / Service Activity. In this process, you can maintaion diferent price for different plant for single Service Activity( service master).

  • Copy attached documents from network activity to purchase order

    Has anyone ever tried copying attachments (e.g. MS Word documents) from an external activity in the project to the purchase requisition and purchase orders that are created from it?
    Our client would like to attach detailed specs for the purchasing in the Project Builder. The specs will then be used by Purchasing when they request offers from vendors, and finally attach it to the PO when it is created.
    Any ideas how this can be solved? Any best practices or recommendations?
    We're working on 4.6C and don't use EBP.
    Thanks in advance for the help!
    Pim

    Hi Pim,
    If the same document should be used for more than 1 object, it is better to my opnion to use a link and not an attachement (in that way you are sure to have the same information, it is a golden rule never to have the same info twice). You have to think about where to put your documents. You could use for instance a file server. Other solutions supported by SAP are possible.
    You could make use of an ABAP development to create the same link to the purchase requisition as to the activity (based on a user exit or use a workflow to trigger the creation of the link).

  • History in Project builder

    Hi
    In transaction like VA02/VA03 or IW32/IW33 or MM02/MM03 - we can track /see the history of who has created and when , what , who did the changes.
    But in the Project builder - we can see only who& when  created the Project and who & when was the last changes in the Project definition / WBS element / Network and not for Activity or Activity Element.
    Seems this is SAP standard.
    To keep the history of the changes - Is there any customization / enhancement to be done ? Is the enhancement can be done with BADI / BAPI / need to do the coding ?
    if yes in which way can able to achieve this .
    kindly reply on this query.
    Regards
    PP

    Hi
    Based on the activation in the Project and network profile , history of the changes is reflecting in CN60.
    But for example when the material qty is changed or material is been deleted or new material added - these changes not reflecting in CN60 eventhough - Material Status changed doc is been enabled in OPUV.
    Is the changes/deletion/new addition for the material in the Project builder will reflect or only till network level is possible? is there any other config changes to be done or enhancement is required.
    do help on this.
    Regards
    Pavan
