Basics: Appropriation Requests and WBS elements (3/3)

Hi,
Last question I promise!
1) Is it possible for more than one appropriation request to point at the same existing project without creating new different project.
As a solution, I though to create empty projects from AR in order to use the values of the program position they are linked to. Is this correct or are there other solutions?
With regards to the link reported below, am I right in assuming that not even the top WBS element (namely InfoSys, refer to graph in link) can be related to a program position in order to exploit the function.. or is it that only the WBS elements directly above and below it (refer to WBS:"software", in the graph) in the hierarchy should not be assigned to a program position to use the function.
Investment Management (IM) - SAP Library
This question refers to <<SAP IM ECC 6.0 SP 16>>
Grazie!
Jessica

Hi Jessica,
Can you point different AR to same project If its the same WBS answer is NO. if these are two separate WBS within the project Yes you can.
so assume you have two Level 1 WBS A and B within project XYZ. Then A can point to AR 1 and B can point to AR2.
But WBS A cannot point to AR1 and AR2. Hope it clears your doubt on 1st Question.
Why you want to do that? Whats the business rationale behind it? Usually AR is used to approve a business investment plan and it will be associated with that particular project. So the best practice in SAP is to have a one to one relationship between AR and SAP Investment Project.
On your understanding of the Graph. You are 100% correct. Neither Inf. Sys nor Software can be assigned to a Program Position ID as the WBS Application is already assigned to a Program position ID.
Hope it helps..

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,
Pete

Hi 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.

subbara

Hi
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 regards

One 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
please reward points if helpfull.

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,

Service order and WBS Element

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 R

My 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,

Grey field for project definition and WBS element

Dear all,
I have created a project and WBS element in CJ01. Now I go via CJ02 to the change mode and the project ID and WBS element ID is not greyed out. But I would like that the system shows these key fields as not changeable anymore, only fields like description should be changable. Can you please tell me, which customizing step I missed to get the grey field for project ID/WBS element ID?
FYI I do not use a project mask to create the project.
Thanks for your answer.
Heidi

Hi Heidi ,
I don't think you can grey out the Project Definition and the WBS Element fields after the creation .
If you want to restrict the users to change the Proj definition and WBS , a better way is through
Authorization objects and restricting only specified users to change the WBS

Link between Cost element GL Account and WBS element.

Hi,
I want to get the List of all dollars sitting on the GL account attached to the selected WBS element.
For this, Any one please suggest me the table where i can get the link between the WBS element and GL account.
or
Table for link between the Cost element and GL account
and Table for link between the Cost element and WBS element.
Thanks,
Suresh.

Hi,
1. There is no link between cost element and WBS
2. Link between cost element and G/L account is one-to-one. This means, that if it's a primary cost element it has the same code as the G/L account. If it's a secondary element, no link exists.
3. The table where you can see the postings on your WBS is COEP. There you will find the cost element, WBS, amounts, etc.

Locking of the Project and WBS Elements at a single step.

Hi Experts,
My client requirement is to lock the complete project and wbs elements so as not to allow any further postings to the project, I knew that we can lock the project or WBS individually by setting the lock status, but i want to lock the complete project at one step, Is there any possible standard setting to sort out my Issue if not give me the solution.
Thanks & Regards,
RAM.

may be the below explanation will be helpful.
You can open the project in CJ20N for example and can set the lock for project definition and also you can set the lock for WBS element without saving and exiting from CJ20N, after setting the lock for both project definition and WBS Element you can save and exit.
It is not possible to select more than one object and set lock with one click.

BAPI's for creating of Project and WBS elements in SAP system.

Hi Guys,
             I was able to use a Wrapper FM for creating the
We have a FM which combines 5 different BAPIs
FM/Wrapper: "Z_LEED_PROJ_WBSELEMT_CREATE"
1)      BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION
2)      BAPI_BUS2001_CREATE
3)      BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI
4)      BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT
5)      BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
Requirement: To automate the process of creation of Project and WBSE(Tasks) and create an entries in the PS tables based on the user inputs from the user interface in Visual Composer.
Basically user should be able to create the Projects and WBSE.
Issue: We were able to create the Project with the FM (BAPI_BUS2001_CREATE) but having the issue with the creation of WBSE(Tasks), the user will be entering the inputs for Project Definition, Project Profile and WBSE which are to be created in the UI.
The problem is we are not able to create the WBS elements using BAPI     BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI .i will send u the code below .Can anybody correct
