Automatic settlement of network activities costs to WBSE

HI All,
Which Network type and settlement profile i will use so that i can settle network costs(Labor costs,material costs and serice costs) to the repective attached WBSE automatically while am settling the WBSE to the final reciver.
Muzamil

Hi,
Network type PS02, settlement profile 130001 as per IDES will address your requirement. Basically check the following:
1. Network type contains the settlement profile which allows settlement to WBS (OPSC)
2. Parameters for network type have default rule PS1 ie 'settlemt to WBS' (OPUV)

Automatic release of network activities

We are currently completing the configuration/implementation of the
Project System module.
We want SAP to automatically release the following network activities
upon final confirmation of an activity.
As an example, letu2019s say we have a simple network of 3 activities:
Activity 10 (Predecessor of activity 30, type of relationship
is FS with activity 30)
Activity 20 (Also predecessor of activity 30, type of
relationship is FS with activity 30)
Activity 30 (Successor of activities 10 and 20u2026therefore,
activities 10 and 20 are predecessors of activity 30)
Based on these relationships, before activity 30 may begin (or may be
released), both activities 10 and 20 must have been completed.
If a u201Cfinal confirmationu201D is set on activity 10, we want SAP to
automatically set the u201Creleaseu201D status on activity 30 if, and only if
activity 20 is also final confirmed.
We are trying to accomplish this using the milestone function
If we put a milestone on activity 10u2026
In the milestone, we:
Set the u201Cfunctionsu201D indicator
Select the function u201C Release following activitiesu201D
Enter the status CNF for confirmed in the u201CSyst.STS u201Cfield.
Set the u201CChange statusu201D indicator to +
Letu2019s say we now have the following statuses on the network activities:
Activity 10 = REL
Activity 20 = REL
Activity 30 = CRTD
Then, if we final confirm (status CNF) on activity 10, SAP triggers the
milestone function and release activity 30, even if activity 20 is not
confirmed yet!!!
After final confirmation of activity 10, the statuses on the network
activities are:
Activity 10 = CNF
Activity 20 = REL
Activity 30 = REL
Why is it releasing activity 30, even if activity 20 is not confirmed?
Activity 20 must be completed also before activity 30 may be
released!!??
Therefore, in this situation described, when the milestone on activity
10 was triggered by the final confirmation of activity 10, activity 30
should not have been released.
Activity 30 should be released only when activity 10 and 20 would have
the status CNF.
What am I missing?
How can I setup the milestone so it reacts properly, taking into
account the relationships between the activities?
I look forward to your inputs.
Thanks
Frederick

Hello Frederick,
unfortunately scenario described will not work. I. e. milestone function does not consider status of the other activity and will release the directly linked activity.
One may check whether required logic can be implmenented in customer exit CNEX0028 (not CNEX0029).
As an alternative one may try to implement the logic in a substitution exit to trigger status change via ABAP internal function calls. However this requires a deep understanding of ABAP and of PS code.
Kind regards

Meaning of different Network Activities

Hello,
in your Network you can add 4 types of activities:
Internal processing
External processing
Costs
Services
What do they mean? and what can they be used for?
Thanks,
Renaat

Hi,
SAP Project System supports the following activity categories.
       Internal Processing: for capacities to be staged in your own
        company
       External Processing: for tasks to be assigned externally
       Service Activities: for procuring external services
     Costs: for planning additional primary costs.
You use the activities in the network to plan the labor, capacities, materials,tools, and services you require to carry out various tasks in your project. By assigning milestones to activities, you can document events that are particularly important for the progress of the project and reference their respective dates in billing or invoicing plans, for example. During the project execution phase, commitment and actual costs are updated automatically to the network activities as a result of various business transactions (for example, confirmations, ordering processes, goods issues, incoming invoices).
Hope this helps.
Regards
Tushar

Automatic settlement to particular combination of cost centres and gl codes

HI,
A company uses Plant Maintenance for Engineering overhauls. MM is used for Engineering spares only (i.e. not for goods for resale etc).
The requirement is to set up ongoing Plant Maintenance Orders, one for each item of plant (only 600). The plan is just to leave them open, as they are only used at a simple level.
Anyway, for each PM order, the requirement will be to settle automatically, and to a particular GL code and a particular cost centre.
So, for three different works orders:-
Cost Centre -
> 333 334 335
GL code
1234----
>(X)
1235----
>(Y)
1236----
>(Z)
1) What is the best way to achieve this? I am thinking that GL code will be specified by order type (therefore I will need about 10, corresponding to the GL codes) and cost centre will be specified by Work Centre in each order.
2) How do I set up automatic settlement? Can this be at period end only or instantly when good are booked to the order by the stores.

Hi ,
For Plant Maintenance with FICO , you need Settlement rule & settlement profile.　
The settlement rule determines what portions of a sender's costs are to be settled to which receiver(s).
In thesettlement profile you determine to which objects orders of this order type can settle to. You can also assign an order type to a settlement profile at a later date. You can change the settlement profile in the order.
After you create the settlement profile , you need to save the profile to particular order type.
Inside the settlement profile , you will define the control parameter of how is the way to settle included which cost center to post.
For automatic settlement , i think you need user exist - Please refer to userexit IWO10027 or COOM0003 with your abaper.
Thank you.

Uploading the Cost to Network - Activities in Cut over

Hi All,
As a part of Cut over activities, Is that possible to upload actual cost to Network - activities in Producion environment?
As a best practice, till now in my projects, I have uploaded the Intial cost to WBS only.
Regards
Prabu K

Hi Abdul,
While using KAFD, we can post legacy or historical actual cost.
The most important this is that, define one WBS element in your project structure and name it as Historical WBS element which will receive all your legacy costs. By doing so, we are posting all our legacy costs to One WBS element only.
Here what you have to do is difine the Historical cost elements which are used only for these migrated projects and not for regular opeative structures.
Input the current period - current period always be in which period project is being migrated.
then input the Year - in our case we have not defined multiple years but as a lumpsum amount in current year (the year project is migrated) that will stay as historical cost. You will not see any break up of historical costs in SAP but you can see break up of actual coss in legacy system.
Hope this clarifies and let me know if you need any further inputs.

Automatic Settlement rules generation

PS Experts
I need to have automatic settlement rule generation for WBS elements.
I do have all the config (PS & IM) in place and when i release my WBS element then AUC is automatically created and no settlement rules are generated at this point.
But when i create FINAL ASSET, then the settlement rules are generated automatically with final asset as the receiver. When i run my final settlement (CJ88) then the settlement rule is updated with AUC & Final asset.
My question is do i need to have Investment profile to have automatic creation of settlement rules.
What if i don't want to activate IM and still have automatic settlement rule generation?
Edited by: Raj M on Apr 17, 2008 8:49 PM

Hi,
For automtic settlement rule generation folloowing steps need to be followed.
1. Determine Strategy for Settlement Rule
In this there will be settings for settlement rule where we define the recevier cost object after project settlement.
This strategy will be assigned to project profile
2. Generate Settlement
CJB2 transaction need to be run for generation settlement for the WBSE.
Hope this will help you.

Cost Center & WBSE

Dear All,
I have requirement for one project as follows:
I have created one project & planning costs in WBSE/Network,
posting the costs via GR / GI.
These costs are shown on WBSE (Report: S_ALR_87013532).
I want to see these costs on Cost Centers also.
But it is not showing cost on cost center.
What do I need to do?
Sanjay

Dear Sanjay
This can be handled by customizing the account assigment category "P" or what ever used in the PR/PO/GR/GI mandatorly asks for Cost Center also. Then the costs will flow to the cost center also. But this will be real posting and again needs to be settled or else make the WBSE/NWE as statistical.
SPRO > IMG > PS > Material > Control of sales order related production > Check account assignment categories. make cost center mandatory.
Award points if useful
Thanks

Planning network activities

Hi all,
I have a question related to project planning.
I would like to plan the network activities per cost element and per period (year/month) as this is a customer requirement . However, in the end i would have a lot of cost elements per wbs elements which i think it would not be user friendly. How could i manage this in a easier way? Moreover, some of these activities have several delivery dates which i think it complicates the project planning (even in several years)
Moreover, as far as i know, it is not possible to copy the activities real values to a plan version. How can i manage this using the sap standard functions?
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Hi,
Different WBS can have different Responsible Cost centres and Required cost centre. However we can define the network cost centre depending upon the type of activity we are doing. The settlement of the root WBS will clubbed all the cost from different activity -- > Different Network --> Different Levels WBS to the root WBS.
Hope this will help.

Uddhab

Automate settlement rule

How to configure the settlement rules to be automatically created when a new project is saved such as for the AUC settlement or Requesting Cost Center?

Automatic settlement rule work for the projects where object class is other than INVESTMENT.
You have to configure in SPRO IMG->>>PS->>>Costs->>>Automatic and Periodic Allocations->>> Settlement->>> Settlement Rule for WBSE ->>> Determine Strategy for Settlement Rule.
Here you can mention your default settlement receiver as requesting cost center / responsible cost center or you can enter a settlement rule for level 1 WBS element and then copy this to all lower levels.
Assign this to Project profile in OPSA transaction under the controlling area tab Settmt rule strat. field.
Then you have to execute the transaction CJB1 / CJB2 for generating the settlement rule automatically to all the WBS elements.
You can search the forum, <link removed>
you can also refer to the online help. <link removed>
Incase of INVESTMENT object class projects, the settlement rule is automatically created by the system when you execute the settlement for project first time, the receiver will be the respective AUC.

Settling the WBS element costs to an AuC

Please Explain the procedure for settling the WBS element costs to an AuC & then to asset?

Hi,
Please follow the below sequence of steps for this:
1) For WBS element where the asset has to be created, AUC willbe created automatically when the WBS element is in release status to get this investment profile should be assigned to WBS element in Control Tab
2) You can see in the system status show as AUC to see the AUC number follow the path
EDIT-> WBS element -> Investment program--> Asset under Construction where you can see the AUC which is created automatically
3) Once the above two steps are through, for settlement to AuC goto transaction CJ88 give the WBS element number select the processing type as partial captalization and execute all the costs pertaining to that. WBS elements will be automatically settled to the AUC which is created for that WBS element
Thanks,

Automatic Settlement just after confirmation

Dear Experts,
Please advice how the Process Order got automatically settle once the Process Order confirmation happened, if possible.
Because in variant of settlement CNF status of Process Order not exist.
Please advice
Regards
Sumit Kalyan

Sumit,
Why you want to do this? In standard condition system should settle all orders for which cost has Incurred during the period , so that the Settlement period and Posting period will be matching.
Please explain why you want to prevent PCNF orders from settling.

Prasobh

CAT2 duplicate PS network activities showing in personal template

Hello,
We are using SAP_APPL 4.7, support pack 22 and SAP_HR 4.7, support pack 10.
I don't know much about CATS & PS, but I provide our end user support.
We are using transaction CAT2 to report hours worked against PS network activities. We have run into a glitch when using the 'Save as Template' feature which creates a personal template. In our situation a person will add a network activity in the data entry area of CAT2. After they input their time they press the 'save as template' icon. Then when they enter CAT2 the following week to report their time, the network activity is still listed in the data entry area for them to enter their time. This part is working fine.
Now let's assume someone goes into project systems (CJ20N) and changes the network activity description (which shows in CAT2 as a informational output field). The person entering time then goes into CAT2. Their template is showing the network activity in the data entry area with the old description. When they input their hours and press enter, the new network activity description is pulled in on the time sheet, overlaying the old original description. At this point they still see one entry in their time sheet. Now here is the glitch - if the person goes in the following week to enter their time, they see two entries in the data entry area - one with the old description and one with the new description. Both records show the same network activity number, but now 2 records are appearing in their template because the description changed.
Our 'work around' has been to have people delete their personal template and recreate it from scratch if they see these 'double entries' due to a description change. Does anyone know a better way to handle this or if there is 'fix' that we can apply to correct this issue so we don't see two records? I did some looking in OSS, the only duplicate entry reference I could find was OSS note 1058293, however it was related to WBSs and was not for our release. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi Debbie.
When writing into CAT2 screen data is pulled when pressing enter. If a person has a wrong cost center, e.g., this cannot be changed by changing the persons cost center only. All the hours have to be deleted and rewritten for CAT2 then pulling the correct cost center.
Considering this behaviour of the system it would be a consequence that CAT2 pulls the new text but lets the existing entries unchanged.
You have not said anything about the written hours. Are these duplicated as well? If you open an OSS because of this I'd be curious to hear about the answer.
Best regards.
Jens

How to automatically settle diners expenses on trips

Hi Knowledgeable Ones,
Does anyone know how to automatically settle Diners club (Credit Card Clearing) expenses after uploading the diners expense statement.
Once done we require the Diners expenses only to be settled and transferred to the various GL's that have already been configured.
Can this be done via config or do we need to look at creating a custom program?
Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks
Maahir

tlanghauser,
I would create a 14 column table headed 1) Category, 2-13) the twelve months (Jan-Dec), and 3) Total. Then, each row would contain one of the categories. Be careful to spell these categories exactly as in the monthly tables.
The basic formula for each cell is: =SUMIF(Jan :: Category,$A2,Jan :: Cost)
(Note comma between $A2 and Jan)
and, of course, the Total is: =SUM(B2:D2)
This approach not only give your totals to-date, but an analysis of expenses by month.
