Auto project creation and coding mask

hi to all,
i dont understand how system determines name of project definition during automatic project creation based on sales order.
if the standard project definition does not have a coding mask then the project created is simply the sales order number. (no problem with that)
however if the standard project definition has a coding mask, then in my case the newly created project just contains a certain number of 000000 and includes the last part of the standard project.
hope someone could enlighten me on this..

Hi,
This scenario is very well explained in PS under title "Assembly processing".
An assemble to order environment is one in which the product or service is assembled on receipt of the sales order. Key components are planned in anticipation of the sales order. Receipt of the order initiates assembly of the customized product. This business process is called assembly processing. It creates a link between sales document and project. It is an indirect method of generating a network or a WBS from a sales order. It is used throughout SAP R/3 logistics applications to automatically generate the order types like Planned order, Production order, Process order, Service order, Network (project).
You will find the "SD/PS assignment" indicator in the control data for the project definition of the standard project. This indicator determines whether, during assembly processing, a hierarchy is created in the operative WBS for each sales document item, or whether a hierarchy is created for the entire
sales document in the operative WBS.
If we use SD/PS assignment indicator, do not flag "Only one Root" option in the project profile ( t code OPSA).

  • Can I create a Coding Mask without special characters?

    Good morning,
    Our client wants a project code with the following masks:

    Please advise how to proceed with it.
    Best regards,

    Hi Nat,
    u cant have both numeric and alphanumeric in single word "XX0000". U can make the same as "XXXXXX"
    and there should be a specific project ID and Project ID and coding mask should be separated by a special character.
    u can make the coding mask as explained below
       Project ID     CODING MASK
    1)  A               :XX-0000-0000

    Hi Srinivasan,
    We specify how a project number is coded for editing
    Create masks for editing the project number. Masks help display complex project numbers. They can also be used to indicate the position of a WBS element in the project hierarchy.
    The following characters are available for editing:
    •     For alphanumeric characters
    •     0 for numeric characters
    •     Special characters to organize the project numbers
    Configuration Details
    We can maintain the following parameters for editing the project number:
    •     The length of the key for project coding
    We can assign up to five places for the key.
    •     An indicator specifying whether the key must have this exact
             length or whether it can also be shorter
    •     Special characters to enter WBS elements faster
    An indicator specifying whether only coded project numbers can be used to create projects
    Special characters are :- Example PL (4) ET (*), SP (/ , . , > , < , = , - etc)
    Project Coding Mask:- How do you define the Project Structure (Levels etc)
    and how you want its numbering system to be seen/saved.
    Examples:-
    For Project Id = CCMD
    Coding Mask = xxxx-00-xx-XX

  • Coding mask - mask id

    Hi All,
    I have configured new coding mask 00-XXXX-XXX-XXXX at client 100. Where 00 is PrjID 
    I have copied that TR to client 300 dev.
    I am able to see the coding mask in dev server. But when I tried to create the project with the coding mask. I am not able to see the format of my complete coding mask in project definition. The format should display beside Mask ID
    I am not able to create project as per my coding mask
    Please find the attached screen shot
    Please  help me
    Thanks

    Hi,
    can i create a coding mask without giving prjid id it possible.
    Please let me know what is the solution.
    No, I don't think its possible because when you create a Project, system check available coding mask with the help of PRJID. If you don't give then how system will check coding mask.
    As a suggestion, you should create PRJID as your client company shortcode and rest in coding mask section, start with your year and so on.
    e.g. If you create coding mask like ABC-XXXX-XXX-XXXX-XX (Lets say ABC is your company name and put it in PRJID)
    Now you can create Projects codes like- ABC-2014-ADV or ABC-2015-ADV and so on.
    In this way, you can keep your years also by using same mask.

  • Validation Rule for the coding mask and project profile

    Hi,
    I have two project profile and two coding masks. I want one project profile to be only used by defined coding mask for that profile.
    So i have maintained a validation rule as follow -
    Prerequisite - Project Def. :1-3: = 'A5M'
    Check - Project Profile = 'ABC'
    And if the above check is failed then give me an error message.
    Now i am trying to add the project profile other than 'ABC' for the coding mask starting with 'A5M', but still the system is not giving me an error message configured and allowing me to save the project.
    Is there any other thing which is tobe activated other than assigning the validation rule in project profile and clicking the Autom. validation check box in OPSA.
    Request to confirm share the views.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Try the following, this must work.
    Prerequisite
    PROJ-PROFL = "ABC"
    Check
    PROJ-PSPID: 1-3: = "A5M"
    Message
    Project profile & Coding mask wronly assigned
    Repeat the same for other project profiles also.
    Enter this validation in your project profile. Check in "Auto Validation"
    In transactinal data,
    Enter project def and select the wrong profile. when you save the project system will show you the error message.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Project coding mask problem

    Hi friends,
    My coding mask is: 00/XXXX.X.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX
    The First six characters are for the Project definition.
    First I created the Project definition, eg: 13/0000.
    Then I created the top level WBS element which will be the same as the Project definition, 13/0000.
    Then I created the 9 second level WBS elements (limit is 9 as per the coding mask) eg: 13/0000.1, 13/0000.2 and upto 13/0000.9
    Then I want to create some 20 WBS elements under the first WBS element (13/0000.1). At this time the system is allowing me to create the first 9 WBS elements, i.e, 13/0000.1.1, 13/0000.1.2 and so on upto 13/0000.1.9. According to the coding mask the system should allow me to create upto 99 WBS elements at this level. But this is not happening. I am surprised. I want to know why this is happening. Please help me out.
    regards
    Pratap

    Sorry for the delay in reply. There was some problem in SDN website here as a result of which I was not able to post my reply.
    In the meanwhile I found out the reason for this problem.
    My coding mask was 11/XXXX.X.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX
    Since it is 'X', the project creation was not being allowed to create more than 9 WBS elements.
    I then tried changing to 11/XXXX.0.00.00.00.00.00
    Now it is working fine.
    Thanks for your support guys.
    But I have one more doubt now.
    I have the old Coding (11/XXXX.X.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX) in my quality server. How do I make changes and transport it now? I may face problem since I have already created projects in the quality server with the old coding mask. Please sugget.

  • How to create a validation for the project coding mask

    Hi,
    Would just like to ask how to create a validation for the project coding mask wherein the WBS elements hierarchy will be checked against the template saved. For example,
    project coding mask is XXXX-XXXXX-XX-X-X-X-00-X
    mother WBS should be XXXX-XXXXX-X and lower level WBS would be XXXX-XXXXX-XX.
    The validation should not allow a mother WBS to be XXXX-XXXXX-XX.
    How can we go about this?

    Hi Jacquiline Bersamin,
    You can use validation with the combination of the level and the coding mask.
    In the validation:
    Pre requisite: WBS level = 1
    Validation: Prps-posid = prps-posid :1-12:
    Message : Error
    If required you can give the parameters for your detail error message.
    Please let me know if this does not work.
    Thanks

  • Project coding mask in PS

    Dear Sap gurus,
                          Can anyone explain what is project coding mask in project system.please very urgent
    Thanks&Regards
    p.srinivasan

    With the project coding you will going to idntify the project definition and WBS elements in SAP.
    In Customizing for "Project Number Coding Mask", you define the appearance of the coding masks.
    Also in Customizing for "Special Characters" table, you specify the special characters for WBSs, and you also specify the following for the project coding: whether coding must be used, how long the key should be, and whether this length is compulsory. Also a temporary placeholder for determining a project number automatically.
    So based on the organizational requirement you will identify how the project coding should look like.
    Say for Eg. for company code NLY0, I want start all the project naming should start with NLY0-XX-XXXX.
    you specify how a project number in customization for editing. You can maintain the following parameters for editing the project number:
    The length of the key for project coding 4
    and many special characters, specifying whether the key must have this exact length or whether it can also be shorter. Special characters to enter WBS elements faster. An indicator specifying whether only coded project numbers can be used to create projects....so on.
    Like that based on the organization requirement you can maintain you own project coding.
    If you satisfy with the answer, reward the points accordingly.

  • Use of Project Coding Mask

    Hi,
    Could you please tell the usage of Project coding mask. Is it useful for creating for WBS elements with specific hierarchy or to search the WBS elements?

    It would be good practice to use coding mask to standardize the Project ID and helps in building WBS hierarchy.
    If the client is having different projects for example customer as well as capital projects then u can define coding mask such way that u can identify whether the project is customer or capital project. Later it helps in reporting if client wanted to analyze all the capital projects.
    But in SAP it is not mandatory.
    Hope this help.

  • Coding Mask errors CJ610 and CJ627

    dear experts:
    i have 2 questions regarding Coding Mask:
    i have created the project coding mask: D-XXX-00.00.00.00.00.0
    in fact i tried to make it aliitle bit longer by ading extra 4 charecters 0.00 to be this way: D-XXX-00.00.00.00.00.00.00
    but the system didnt accept this and issued the error message no: CJ627 (Edit screen is "4" too long)

    Hi,
    You cannot create coding mask that is more than 24 characters long. Read SAP Help and find out more about this.

  • Project Coding Mask - Error

    Hi experts,
    I'm trying to create a new coding mask, with letter M, but I'm getting the error message:
    Projects/WBS elements with the editing mask M still exist.
    I've checked tables PROJ / PROJS and PRPS / PRPSS and I haven't find any Project or WBSE starting with M.
    What else should I check?
    Thanks

    yes, most likely the version profile is set to create wbs version released (or other version) and even if you have deleted all entries from PRPS etc.. entries of the version still remain.
    you need to delete all version data... stored in tables VSPRPS_CN & VSPROJ_CN
    you may use sapnote to delete version data. or delete  direct in table.

  • Difficult with different coding masks for operative and std templates.

    Hi Experts
    I have below coding masks
    OP-XXXX-XX-XX For operative structures (not allowed for std templates)
    ST-XXXX-XX-XX For std tempplates (not allowed for operative structures)
    But i am unable to create operative project using std template.
    I have disabled Lck for std mask and tried, then i could create project but the operative project got created with WBS element's short id 'ST' and not with 'OP'
    How to ensure getting the right WBS id while copying from different standard coding mask?
    warm regards

    Hi Ahmed
    I have gone through help, but i did not get any clue to make use different project IDs for std and operative.
    I am just looking for this to have dedicated structures for both std and operative, due to which one can easily recognise the nature by seeing the project id.
    Of course, it is very comfortable using unique project ID / coding mask for both. Still i am exploring. You may suggest if feasible.

  • Coding mask - SAP adding 0 and spaces

    Hi Experts,
    We are using coding mask in our configuration.
    It was initially set up as C.XX.XXX.X.0000.X.XXX.X
    We changed it to C.XX.XXX.X.XXXX.X.XXX.X
    and we found that all our project definition codes which were C.XX.XXX were updated to C.XX.XXX.    .0000
    Can you explain why this is happening? Is there a way of preventing SAP to change the codes?
    Thanks for your help,
    Thibault

    Infact this is standard behaviour of system when you does following with system.
    1.You transport coding masks into a client in which projects are already created.
    2.You copy projects into a client in which coding masks are already created.
    We have faced not exactly same but similar kind of issue  & Solved with SAP  Note 453280. Take time to understand Project clding mask and do some excercie with sample project before you start real correction. It will surely work out.
    Once moe thing you can  alwalys chagne numeric to alphaneumeric but not reverse.
