Breakdown structure in consolidation

what do you mean by breakdown structure in consolidation

Dear Saleema,
I hope that you are asking about Breakdown Category in Consolidation. Let me try to be brief as well clear as much as possible.You need to know about FS item and subassignment to understand breakdown category.
I think you are aware of Financial Statement(FS) item in Consolidation. It is the central accounting assignment object of the consolidation system. It identifies a monetary value or quantity entry and can be differentiated with further sub assignments.
This subassignments further helps in differentiate(breakdown) the values of the FS item.
The standard sub-assignments are:
Partner Unit-useful for interunit elimination and reconciliation
for the elimination of interunit profit/loss in inventory
Investee Unit-The investee unit is used for recording values at investment holding items.
Transaction Type-helps to see the changes to financial statement items over time.
Transaction Currency Key-The transaction currency key is stored in the data basis whenever a transaction currency is used.
Unit of Measure-The unit of measure is stored in the data basis whenever quantities are used. It must be fixed in the breakdown category.
Year and Period of Acquisition-The year and period of an acquisition are analogous to the fiscal year and period. The current fiscal year and period are used as defaults. The period of acquisition requires that the year of acquisition is contained in the data basis.
I think that you could able to visualise how important these subassignments are for the purpose of undertaking various steps in the consolidation exercise.
At last and not the least, the break down category assigned to the FS items takes care whether the given FS item has subassignment.
If there is no subassignment of 'Partner unit' in FS items of AR and AP, we will not be able to perform inter unit elimination of receivables/payables.
Trust this helps much and answers to your query!
Cheers,

Resource Breakdown structure role in Project Cost Allocation.

Dear Experts,
What is the role of resource breakdown structure while running project cost allocations? Is it possible that targets in the allocation process gets the cost allocated to the resources in RBS which is same for source as well as target projects?

Hi
The resource breakdown structure (RBS) is used in the system to summarize the amounts from the lowest level leaf to the grouping / parent levels.
You can use a summarized amount of certain node on the RBS, per your source project, as the source amount that will be allocated.
On the target projects the allocation transactions are created as expenditure items. Those expenditure items will be on target project and task, using the expenditure type and expenditure organization you have setup for the allocation rule.

Standard Objects for Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)

In 0FI_GL_4 , there are two fields :
Component    |   Component Type   |   Data Type   |    Length      |    Short Description
PROJK           | PS_PSP_PNR         | NUMC              |      8                Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)
PS_POSID      | PS_POSID             | CHAR              | 24               Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)
For "PS_POSID", there is a standard Object "0WBS_ELEMT" to be matched.
But ,Which object to match the "PROJK " ?   Is that "0WBS_ELM_EX" ?

Hi,
The object 0WBS_ELEMT_EX is actually for a different puspose.
Check this. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_em70/helpdata/en/d7/22417391807646910d01ee241628e1/content.htm
So for PROJK, i'd advise you to check what kind of output you get for this field in RSA3 and then go from there.
If you already know what it means, you can try to find a similar object in the content, otherwise just create one with similar element type.

I need an advice regarding my site Work Breakdown Structure.

Hi,
I need an advice on how to design my work breakdown structure?!
I have my WBS divided to Phases and each phase divided to task, there is no details in task(i.e. no lowest tasks under each task).
So may i design my WBS structure as follow:-
Project
Phases "top task"
Task under phases "Lowest task"
Please advice, Thanks in advance.

Hi
The structure you have described in a valid one.
The level of granularity of a WBS depends on the practicality of planning and collecting accurate cost for each one of the individual tasks. This may also depend on the company culture, the team discipline, and customer or management control requirements.

Work breakdown structure (WBS) - Element

Hi Friends,
can anyone explain me about work breakdown structure (WMS) , how it is used and where it is used and tables involved in it .
Please let me know .
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Roberts.K

I can tell you a little about it, I ran into it some time ago on a brief project. The WBS elements are part of a project management system spans several modules in SAP. The basic idea is that a project may be broken down into many components and sub projects spread out over the entire enterprise. A project add new construction to a building for example will have a budget, construction costs, finance costs, etc. and involve resources and time from many different departments within the enterprise.
The WBS elements are the means by which activities these projects and their associated costs are connected to particular components of the project and to the project as a whole.
At least that's what I remember from 4 years ago.

Use the field BBSEG-PROJK, it's the WBS number in external formay (Batch-Input format) (ie PRPS-POSID)
Look in (old) [Batch Input Documents|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/35/a47e63763e0392e10000009b38f9b7/content.htm] for :
Structure BBSEG also contains the fields for one-time data and the data for the coding block. The screen for one-time data is displayed if you have to post to a one-time account or if an alternative payee is to be specified in the document. The data for the coding block in batch input is generally displayed on a separate screen. Here, you should note the following name differences:
     COBL-KDAUF          =     BBSEG-VBEL2     Sales order number
     COBL-KDPOS          =     BBSEG-POSN2
Item in sales order
COBL-RMVCT = BBSEG-BEWAR Transaction type
COBL-PS_PSP_PNR = BBSEG-PROJK Project account assignment
COBL-PPRCTR = BBSEG-PPRCT Partner profit center
COBL-KDEIN = BBSEG-ETEN2 Schedule line in sales order

Resource Breakdown Structure and Item

Hi,
We have created a Planning Resource List using the Items defined in inventory's item master organization. The budget has been created with one line for each item. The budget and the actual cost is categorized using an RBS where the resource type is Item. The budget and actual cost is categorized by item in project performance reporting (PPR) page and budget view page (budget by resources) but it displays only the Item Number. The customer wants the Item Name/Item Description to be displayed. Is it possible to display the Item Name/Description in PPR page or Budget view page without any customizations. If so how?
Please let me know
Regards,
Sri

Hi
Unfortunately, there is no functionality to display item and item description at budget level, reason is budgets are forecasted at higher level, items are at lower level
Thanks

Hi,
In PS (project systems) system creates internal number(OBJNR) for WBS element.
you can see the internal number for WBS element in PRPS table.
WBS element and Object number fields are same.
PSPHI fields is project number.
Now goto PRPS table, enter WBS element press execute. choose details button get the PSPHI value.
Goto PROJ table enter value in PSPID field and execute you will project ID details.
Under project definition we create WBS elements

IM-Work Breakdown Structure

Hi! We are using WBS as a tool in collecting our Capex Projects. When the capex is closed we tagged this as TECO (Technically Completed). My question is, i cannot find a report in IM where you can have the option to view status of the WBS, i.e. Created, TECO, Cancel, Close, etc.
Appreciate your inputs,
Thanks

Hi Robert,
Use transaction code CN41. Input the WBS Element you want to see the status and execute. When the report is generated, if "Status" is not part of the Display/output field, select the fifth icon on the Application toolbar(Click on the little Balck arrow pointing downward on this icon and select "Change Layout"). This would display all the available fields for you. Select "Status" from the left(Column Set) and send it to the right(Column), using the directional arrow and press enter. You would now be able to see the status of your WBS Element.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Regards,
Jacob
PS: Hi Robert, Is this problem solved now? Please revert to let me know.

WBS Structure

Good arvo,
I was wondering if there was a way how to link the line items to a macro activity, same as the Work Breakdown Structure. I am trying to expand macro activities totalled by the sum of their related line items or sub-activities, e.g., Activity 1 - Masonry; Activity 1.1. Bricks; 1.2. Sand, and so on.
Is there a routine where I can do it?

Hi
WBS is short for (Work Breakdown Structure) (german sap language =PSP)
In larger projects it is used to break down the project in smaler units, witch makes it easier to manage and estimate. you will find the same acronym in Microsoft Projects.
In SAP it is a huge part of the PS module, wher projects are defined in general terms.
the project is split in WBS elements and afterwards maybe in activities.
When set correctly, you can assign costs or activites (hours if you use CATS) to the specific WBS or activity.
You may think of it as a product line with different steps. fx. you may have different machines or people performing a value adding activity on a unit. after each step/job the product increase in value and cost. it is the same with projects such as design or development project.
for general information you should look it up on the internet, it is a common used frase.
hope you can use this

Consolidation of legal entities defined as co code

we have two codes in SAP ECC 6 both are separate legal entities.Co Code A owns 80% of shares of Co Code B
what should be the structure from consolidation point of View i.e parent subsidary relationship how would this be presented in SAP for consolidation purpose .
Do we have to assign both co codes to single company.or two codes would have separate Company assignment
Requirement is separate financial statements for both co codes & consoldated Financial statement (elimination of Inter Co code profits & Calculation of minority intrest

Hi Faisal,
In my configuration knowledge Company and Company code must be same, because in load from data stream we mapped company source filed is company code and attribute is company i,e. Company code A and Company A and another Company code B and Company B. In BCS parent subsidary relationship is configred in accounting techniques and consolidation hierarchy.
If this is wrong Please suggest me correct one

Legal \ management consolidation (What is the appropriate data model?)

Hi,
We are implementing SEM-BCS 6.0 with SAP BI 7.0.
For reporting purposes we have 2 types of consolidation:
Legal (external) and management (internal).
I have the following situation in a project (fictive names for companies):
Legal entity hierarchy is as follows:
Company Apple has business units A, B, C
Company Bello has business units A, D.
Management hierarchy is as follows
To the Business unit A belongs companies Apple and Bello.
Question is now: to be able to report in 2 different ways (legal and management reporting), having in account that for legal I consolidate by company and for management I consolidate by business areas:
Do I need to create 2 consolidation areas with each a data basis and perform financial consolidation twice (interunit eliminations (elimination of payables and receivables, elimination of revenue and expense, elimination of investment income) Elimination of Interunit Profit/Loss in Transferred Inventory, consolidation of investments, Reclassifications).
Or do I create one consolidation area with one databasis with 2 consolidation unit hierarchies.
For example, one hierarchy could have a structure of consolidation units as companies; another hierarchy could have a structure with business segments. (In our opinion this is the best way - Are we correct?)
If so, can we have the first hierarchy (legal) with consolidation unit (company) and partner unit (trading partner);
And the second hierarchy (management) with consolidation unit (business area) and partner unit (trading partner or trading partner's business area).
Thanks.
Ps: Our purpose is to have one databasis and one Financial Statement Item for both consolidations (legal and management).

Ricardo,
I had similar business scenario in my earlier project and the expectations were almost same.
I created one consolidation area (legal consolidation) under one single data basis and assigned business area as sub-assignment. All the consolidation functions are executed by the business users based on legal cons requirements purpose, while the reports can be generated for both legal and management consolidation.
In management consolidation reporting, your expectations can be met easily. The header will be business area, while line item data will be companies wise (if you would like the data to display that way).
For more information, you can check the threads created by me.
