Authorization challenge in Project system

Hi,
We seek to solve an authorization challenge in Project system with use of the authorization object K_PCA together with the PS authorization objects C_PROJ_PRC and C_PRPS_PRC. Hence, the client seek an authorization solution for Report Painter/ writer reports using the standard Profit Centre hierarchy. Assistance in this matter is highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Kjell Aarhus

You can create checks on projects and WBS elements by company code/profit centre. We looked at all PS auth objects and nothing really fit the bill for us so In the end we activated some user exits associated with project systems and created a couple of new auth objects which were called in specific code placed in the user exits. When the exists are activated, they are checked whenever the specific project information is displayed. So long as your report writer reports use the PS logical database for reporting, you will call these exits.
In our example, we had logic that checked at a project definition level that checked the company code of the project definition, and at WBS element line item check - to extract profit centre and display/not display as appropriate. Of course you can make your logic work however you like when the exits are opened up.
You can find more information on them by going into the IMG; SPRO > Project System > Authorization Management > Enhancement Create Auth Check. The documenation is also quite good too.
Good luck hope it works out for you.

Authorization Check in Project System-CJ30

Hi!
I have a requirement wherein in the transaction CJ30 where we enter the Project budget amount , when entered it should check against the user s authorized amount and allow to go further and save or give a message saying that the following person is not authorized to enter that amount for project budget. For example if I am authorised to enter project budget amounts <= 15000 dollars and if I enter 23000 dollars it should give me a message saying I am not authorised to enter that amount and the higher in line should be contacted . If I enter amounts below 15000 I shld be able to save it and proceed. I want this authorization at this level so that not any amount is enterd by anyone and missused so that it creates problem in budget forecasting and reviewing in future. I tried looking for BADIS and Exits for it but couldnt find any.
Is there a solution to this and if so can anyone help me with it as we shall be going live next month with thisproject.
Kindly help.
Aarav

Hi Sheel!

I mean where and how do I use this statement so that I can validate the entry .
Thanks

Problem with Project Systems authorizations

Hi All,
We are implementing project systems module and are facing several authorization issues. The SAP default values do not seem to work and there are several objects which showup as "not checked" in SU24 showup in the SU53. e.g. tcodes are CJ20n, CJI3. Are there any steps for activation / pre-requisites, etc?
Thanks for your inputs
Vijaya

Hi
There are chances that some of the transactions codes will call other tcodes while execution.
in this case also CJ20N is calling many tcodes, those auth check would not be inserted as check points in SU24 , hence you should identify them in the testing phase or using the TCDCOUPLES table.
You can check the calling & called transaction values in the table TCDCOUPLES in SE16, according to that you can build your SAP roles.

Authorization issue in BI system.

Hi,
Having a authorization issue in BI system.
user trying to run a query in and attempt to drill down by customer, he gets customer details but some of the customers are missing...
Does the authorization granted in BI system based on customers? Is it a security issue?
pls help...
Thanks...

Hi,
Please execute the query with your id(developer id who will be having access to all data) first. Check if you are able to see all the customer data. If you are able to see all the data then the user is restricted with some authorizations. ( usually the authorizations are done on sales organization, company codes, plant..etc.. please check how it is in your project...)
If you are not able to see all the customer data, then check in the infoprovider on which the query is built and do your analysis.
Check in the roles assigned to the user.
Hope it helps.

Aggregating SD and Project Systems data

Hi,
We are using Project systems and SD in R3 and I have 0PS_C04 activated for standard PS reporting. I now need to combine the PS orders and also the SD orders and report on the orders, costs and all create a common report.
Also, this report needs to have the customer information too.
Any help on this would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Vin

Manga,
The datasources are:
1. 0CO_OM_NWA_1
2. 0CO_OM_NWA_2
3. 0CO_OM_WBS_1
4. 0CO_OM_WBS_3
I have managed to get the customer data loaded based on the project name in the WBS.
Now the only challenge is to get the sales order loaded onto the same cube with the shipping and billing information to reflect the revenue and costs.
Thanks,
Vinay

How to create the Custom project System as Web Project

Hi,
I have created a custom project system using this walkthrough. But
this walk through is targeting Visual C# project system. I need to create the Custom project system as Web project and set the start up page as index.html file. How can I achieve this?
Note:
I have got the Custom project system sample from VS2013 SDK samples(https://mpfproj12.codeplex.com/).
But it demonstrate the Custom console applications only.
- Abbas K

Hi,
So you didn't even follow this walkthrough yet? If you did, how did you do it?
I failed to create such a web project system because I finally messed up my VS experimental instance. But it's possible to create a custom web project system, by following this walkthrough. Someone else has successfully made it, check this
link.
The difference is that you have to use web project type instead of the console application project type. You could copy a web project's .csproj file into the VSPackage project and rename it to xxx.myproj. There's an error in the walkthrough that the AssemblyInfo.cs
file should be put into Properties folder and set the "Build Action" property to Content, "Include in VSIX" to true.

Hi,
to create quote from project system there is quite a bit of PS ( project system ) SD integration is required. i will try my best to deliver with whatever time i have right now.
1. t-code -CKCM - your will define easy cost planning here whihc will be your pricing factor in in sales order.
2. ODP1- you define DIP profile here you will also define your costing elements here. this DIP profile is attached to sales doc type. and on main menu you will find button that says quotation. click on that. this willd irectly take you to quote and from there u can take it forward.
I hope it helps u little. Though i know its not enough.

About reversal of Outbound delivery generated from Project system due to sale return

Hi SAP Expert ,
We have made delivery from project system using t.code CNS0 and billing document is generated with reference of sales order. Now Goods is return by customer due to some technical reason, We created return sales order with reference of billing document and Credit memo with reference of Return sales order.
What is T.code for making return delivery or reversal of Delivery /PGI generated from Project system in sap r/3 ?
Pls. suggest to me.
regards
VKM

Hello,
it depends whether in the billing document the material codes identifies the goods delivered and to be returned or not.
If it's so, you can create a Return Sales Order with reference to the billing document, create the return delivery, and then the credit memo.
If it's non so, you can create a Return Sales Order with reference to the billing document (but without copying the material items, and entering manually material code and quantity to be returned), then create the return delivery. Then you can create a Credit memo request with reference to the Billing Document or with reference to the Return Sales Order.
To create the return delivery, you can run VL01N with reference to the Return Sales Order (just like for outboud deliveries), or from VA02, following the menu path "Sales document --> Deliver".
Best regards,
Andrea

WBS Elements not getting created in ECC Project System from CRM 7.0

Dear all,
We are trying to integrate SAP CRM 7.0 with SAP ECC-PS module. The objective is to bring in the marketing plan and elements data from the CRM system, and to create the corresponding WBS in project system. We have done most of the configuration as recommended by SAP in both the systems, and we see that the BDOCS are getting generated and sent to the ECC system. The following steps have been successfully completed:
1.       Set up the RFC connections between the two systems
2.       Selected the connection type as Middleware in CRM system.
3.       Installed the cProject Add on in CRM box.
4.       Created a project scenario (with project and network profiles) in the PS system and assigned the same in the CRM system.
5.       The Project Scenario in PS config has the same name as the Project Type in CRM config.
6.       Created and released the campaign ids being created in the CRM system.
As already mentioned, we can see that the BDOCS are coming to the ECC system and are getting stored in BDOC_TRACK table. However the issue is that the corresponding WBS elements are not getting generated in the ECC system. Is there anything that that we are missing in the ECC box which would trigger the WBS element creation?
Request you all to share your inputs which would be immensely beneficial for us in achieving this integration.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Aditya Shrivastava

Hello Aditya,
We too are facing this issue.. if you have resolved the issue could you please let us know the solution ?

Sub-contracting through Project system.

Hi
Can some one please help me in understanding how Project system (PS) is supporting sub-contracting scenarios.
I am looking for activity sub-contracting and also sub-contracting with Project stock materials.
I am aware of normal sub-contracting through production order and also sub-contracting through MM. I am specifically looking for sub-contracting in PS.
Thanks and warm regards,
Jagadeesh

Hi,
If requirements for subcontract items (or services) are generated automatically from PS just make sure that the right document category is used (subcontract) then any requisitions or planned orders etc. will have the right category.
There is no difference between PP, PS and PM effectively, they all use subcontracting in the same way it is just how the requirement is triggered that is slightly different.
If you need details on how to trigger the right type of requirement through PS then you may need to use one of teh financial forums that cover PS? (is there one?)

Report Painter Drilldown on Cost Element for Project Systems

I am currently working on a report for Project Systems. I am trying to copy the functionality of the Internal Order summary (60I2-001) into report group 6P3. I was able to copy the whole layout and also the values of 6oI2-001 into a copy of 6PP4-001 but when I double click on "Balance" it is bringin up the ALV report that 6PP4-001 is using. I would like to call another report which looks like 6LS0-001 but contains Project System info made in report painter when I double click on Balance. Is this possible? Please let me know how.

Hi Avinash,
See my replies below.
1 a & B: You are planning Qty on NWA and capturing costs - labor & Equipment on NWA elements.
When you are having elaborated to NWA-Element level, split your total work on each NWA-element and post labor cost. Thus you will have planned Vs actual costs at one place.
coming to equipment cost - are you capturing using PO through GR?.
2.a : Option1- create a separate WBS elements for materials and plan cost at WBS level. That value would be your total planned cost of material procurement as estimated. Under this WBS elements create NWAs and assign the materials. With this set up you can assign material and procure so that will have actual costs coming from GR.
Option 2: Create a one General Cost activity and assign the total planned cost of material on this NWA.
When you assign the material components, diligently you have to reduce the equivalent amount from the general costs activity. Also note that on component screen, you have to check box "Cost relevant" so that material cost will add to Cost NWA. Let the different materials have their own valuation class and have default CEs accordingly. that would not be big issue.
Please discuss with your MM team to get more information. Also my suggestion is to leave blank CE field in configuration.
The option2 is very cumbersome and high risk but one have to be very cautious to reduce the value from Cost NWA in order to sustain the planned material costs whenever they added.
3. I have answered the relevance of Cost relevance check box in above.
Hope above makes sense.
Thanks,
Sudhakar

Project System - Report Painter - Cost roll up issue

Hi,
We have an issue with the roll up of the costs in Report Painter report in Project Systems. The problem occurs only with those costs which have been settled to an internal order from a WBS element.
We are using the same cost elements to settle to the Cost Center and Internal order and roll up of the costs work fine for those settled to cost center. But the roll up does not happen for the costs settled to an internal order. Would appreciate if someone can guide on how to fix this issue.
Raj.

Here are the values:
Period/year     000.1900     Remainder 1900     PERIO     Period/year

Asset settlement issue from Project System

Hello everyone,
In SAP, we have tied Project System and Fixed Asset in the sense that for each network/activity in PS we create and link an asset in Asset Accounting. In the Purchase Order, the network/activity number is assigned and all the transactions that occur through this PO (including down payment, its clearing, GR/IR) are then settled on the specified asset when we execute settlement run at month end through CJ88.
However, we have encountered scenarios where an asset was not timely allocated to the network/activity but the transactions were carried out through the PO. When the settlement run was executed, its impact was not visible in Asset Accounting. Later, it was realized and the asset was created and assigned. Once the asset was assigned, all the subsequent transactions through the PO were then being settled successfully. But the problem is with those transactions for which the asset number was initially not assigned.
Is there any program that can be executed to include the impact of the previous transactions. Otherwise, suggest alternatives.
Thanks

Hi Thanks for your reply, But that is not relevent to this issue.
The issue here is -
First 2 documents has value date of 4th period and the amount is 8800
Next document has value date of 5th period and the amount is 1200
Now i am trying to settle 10000(8800+1200) with 5th period date. Its givign an error Settlement amount is greater than Available amount
Will it solve if i settle 4th period with 8800 first and then 1200 with 5t period? or any other process?
Thanks
