Budget Control at top level WBS only

Hello All,
I have a requirement from client where I need to activate the Budget control (90% warning and 100% error). I have done the setting accordingly.
Now the scenario is such that when client is doing budgeting, they are allocating the budget only at top level WBS (they have a different legacy, where they are doing there detail planning n budgeting, but since they want the feature of budget control in PS, they will do minimal budgeting in PS). As per my settings when I budget top level WBS and save the availabity control is activated (with no budget on lower level WBS). Now when I try to do some postings/or assign that WBS to PO, even with a value of 1 USD, i am getting an error of budget exceeded, which is fine as per the settings as that WBS is having 0 budget.
The requirement from client side is such that they want AVAC to be activated only at top WBS and do postings to lower WBS. But if the total of lower WBS exceed the budget of top WBS, they should get an warning or error. For example:
WBS level BUDGET ACTUALS
1               100
2                              50
2                              50
so as soon as the actuals touch 100, the system should give an error/warning. Note that the 2nd level WBS are not budgeted in SAP, so budget is 0 on them.
I have 2 questions:
1.Is it possible to activate AVAC only for top WBS ?(without any enhancement/development)
2.How the AVAC will work, if the total of 2nd level WBS exceeds the budget of top WBS (as explained in example above)?
Awating your replies.
Thanks
Sarang

Thanks Virendra, it was useful.
I tried other way round also i.e. by not marking the release tab in OPS9 and activating AVAC in CJ30.It works in that way too.
For my other question, regarding activating AVAC only at top level, we can achiebve that by using transaction control in user status.
Thanks

Budget control at top level Wbs

Dear PS experts,
we have a requirement to have budgets distributed from top level wbs to level 2 wbs and all transactions to happen at level 2 wbs, but only budget availability check to happen at top level. can you please let us know if this can be aceived.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Veera

Try this:
Exclude the level 2 WBS elements from the availability control by creating a user status profile (i.e., availability control business transaction is not allowed) and assigining the status to all WBS elements except your top level.
Please search the forum if you need help on creating the user profile for Object Type WBS (T code OK02).

Fetch Top level WBS elements for delivery type LP

Hi everyone,
we are working on a delivery analysis report and we are in progress of fetching sales order number for deliveries with delivery type LP.
How we are doing?
so we are fetch the UP values from PRHI table for the wbs elements in LIPS.
Now we need to fetching the top level wbs elements from PRHI table by passing the UP values to the same table until the UP field value becomes initial.
Then fetching the corresponding sales orders from the VMPA table for the wbs elements from PRHI table for the value of corresponding UP field is initial.
So it is going through so many iteration to fetch the UP value again and again until it is initial.
What we need?
So if someone can suggest a FM or method to fetch the top level WBS element for the given WBS element from LIPS table will be of great help.

Hi,
Try FM

Can we control the top level navigation in portal from a java application

Hello,
I am having a scenario where User logged in to portal and assigned with 2 roles (HOME , ISA(Java application)). When user opened a form in ISA (Java application) and tried to enter the data in form and moved to another tab (e.g. HOME) in top level navigation.
When user come back to ISA (Java application) TAB , we show the page where he left earlier. I would like to know if user click any other TAB in top level navigation (Role assigned to him) while working on a page in ISA(Java application) is there any way we can catch that event before he leaves from ISA (Java application JSP page) to other TAB?
How can we control the top level navigation events in the portal from a java application .Since Top level navigation is seperate par file.
Thanks,
RN

Dear Rajesh,
Top Level and detailed navigation values comes with iteration in the respective par file.
Please check the par file and based on the value (i.e tab name) selected, you can write your code.

Result Analysis with transaction code KKAJ for Top level WBS element

Hi Experts,
we have four level WBS structure with level 1 and level 4 with all operative indicators active
when we are doing Result analysis by using KKAJ for level 1 WBS element, System is taking all level 4 wbs elements also into consideration.
Is there a way to run results analysis using KKAJ only for level 1 wbs elements for multiple projects, avoiding the level 4 WBS elements.
SAP version 4.6C
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance

Resizing controls in top level VI

In the LabVIEW8 version of the TestStand3.5 OI, in the Top-Level VI, there is a call to FULL OI - Resize Controls.vi. If I (at the top-level VI) set the VI properties in Window Appearance::customize:: and uncheck the show vertical/horizontal scrollbars, thus disallowing the user to resizer the OI, do I need the Resize Controls.VI?

Hi MrBean,
I would recommend to leave the Resize Controls.VI there because even though you have disabled the scrollbars there are other things that can affect the control sizes such as Windows themes, using large fonts, etc.

How to release top-level VI (only) source code?

Hello,
I am developing an addon to an application I already have. The application is large (over 1,500 VI's) and the VIs are set up to compile with mostly default settings (there's a top-level VI, a few with Front Panel visible, most of them are not visible).
The customer wants the source code to the work I'm going to do, and it's going to use many existing sub-VI's. The addon itself will be a sub-VI (I have a Main.vi that basically opens 'screens', and this is a new screen). The existing sub-VI's basically do the data collection and processing, and the new code will do some additional processing and have a nice GUI to the existing code. The customer wants the source so they can make modifications as needed.
Is there any easy way to provide just the source for the top-level VI? Basically, I want to give them M.vi, where M.vi calls n.vi, o.vi... etc, but o-z.vi need to remain closed-source. Also, M.vi is called by Main.vi, which opens screens A-M.vi
One option is do copy the entire application, then open every sub-VI and save it without Source Code. But with so many files, this seems like a bad idea. I also then have to maintain two applications.
Any good ideas out there? It seems so easy in other languages (use object files) that it seems like there should be a solution here I'm not seeing.... Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dont know if this is the best solution for you, but you can create a "virtual folder" in the LabVIEW project with all the sub-VIs that you want to keep closed-source. Then create Source Distribution build specifications in the project and remove the block diagrams assign passwords to all VIs in the virtual folder. See attached pics.

DMR Not showing materials of Lower level WBS

Hi,
I have multiple WBS under 1st level. It is working find with cost reporting. But when i create DMR with DP91, it shows materials attached with activity comes under 1st level WBS only. How can i bring materials of lower level WBS activity materials into DRM while triggering DP91 with Upper level WBS...?

Hi rajsekhar
But generally if you want to transfer the cost of the sub item to main item then you can check the box Cumulative cost in copy control VTFL . But your requirement is quite opposite .So you need to go to assign a New Reqt / Alt calc type to the cond type , telling that the header item cost which is not relevant for pricing has to be transferred to sub item .So you need to integrate with the ABAP'er to give inputs to him and giving our requirement also

DFS-R Top level NTFS Permissions

Hi,
As part of my setup, I'm trying to implement a new DFS-R share between 2x Windows 2003 R2 and 1x 2008 R2 servers
I've been experimenting with the DFS-R, and I've found that if I try to change the NTFS partitions of the top-most folder, then these permissions are not replicated to the other duplicates on the other servers. Sub-file and sub-folder Perms are.
I've also found that if I do modify the top-level folder, than that server stops replicating to the others - with no errors in the event logs ! Disaster !! In my testing, all I did was add another users read access, and then that stops replication!!
So - if I need to control the top-level perms, do they all have to be in sync and setup manually ?

Hi Shaon,
Sorry I had to actually setup the server on the remote site. So no - I'm still seeing issues.
I ran that DFSutil on serv14. I don't know why it doesn't show the ClientApps DFS replication.
2 entries...
Entry: \Ubiq-serv1\Users
ShortEntry: \Ubiq-serv1\Users
Expires in 24 seconds
UseCount: 1 Type:0x81 ( REFERRAL_SVC DFS )
   0:[\UBIQ-SERV1\Users] AccessStatus: 0 ( ACTIVE TARGETSET )

   3:[\ubiq-serv8.ubiquisys.local\sysvol]
   4:[\UBIQ-SERV10.ubiquisys.local\sysvol] ( TARGETSET )
DfsUtil command completed successfully.
I'm also seeing folders/files not replicate between 14 and 9. Some do, some dont. Seems to be zero byte files causing most of the issues.

How to find first level WBS from Lower Level WBS

My client is posting cost at wbs which will be at level 5 or 6 and i need to find 1st level wbs for that 5 or 6 level wbs..
So Is there any Function module to find 1st level wbs from any lower levels...
or any suitable code?

Hi Sachin,
in table PRHI you have the relationship between a WBS element and its superior level WBS element.
For example:
Level 1: XYZ (internal code PSPNR: 00000001)
..Level 2: ABC (internal code PSPNR: 00000002)
..Level 2: DEF (internal code PSPNR: 00000003)
....Level 3: PQR (internal code PSPNR: 00000004)
...then in table PRHI you'll have:
PRHI-POSNR = 00000001 ... PRHI-UP = 00000000
PRHI-POSNR = 00000002 ... PRHI-UP = 00000001
PRHI-POSNR = 00000003 ... PRHI-UP = 00000001
PRHI-POSNR = 00000004 ... PRHI-UP = 00000002
...meaning:
WBS element XYZ is top level
WBS element ABC depends of WBS element XYZ
WBS element DEF depends of WBS element XYZ
WBS element PQR depends of WBS element DEF
Then you can iteratively (or recursively) "climb up" the structure of the project until the WBS element of level 1.
I hope this helps. Best regards,
Alvaro

Network Hearder to be craeted at Top WBS only

Hello All,
Please guide me in creating proj structure, as I am new to SAP PS.
My requirment is I want to create project structure like there will be only one WBS at level 1 (L1), and under this will have various WBS at level 1(L2). Now under each L2 level WBS i need to create activities. But the prob is the movement I create activity the system create Network Header on its own in background.
Already in OPSA i have set (Network asst : 1 For project definition)
My proj structure is required as follows :-
PD :- Office Building (Project definition)
L1 :- Office Building (WBS L1)
NW:- Office Building   (Single network at L1 WBS)
L2 :- Civil Work   (WBS L2)
L2 :- Mechanical work   (WBS L2)
L3 :- Electrical Work   (WBS L3)
Please guide me in this regards do I need to do any confic settings or Validation????
Any inputs in these regards will be highly appreciable.
Regards,
Priya

Thanks Virendra,
Let me explain u in detail, Ya very correct as said by you activity are alway header assigned. My requirment is I will create only one network at TOP WBS (L1) and for rest L2 level WBS i will create activities were system should not create another network header at tht level.
Please refer the following Proj Structure :-
PD :- Office Building (Project definition)
L1 :- Office Building (WBS L1)
NW:- Office Building (Single network at L1 WBS)
L2 :- Civil Work (WBS L2)
         Activity 1
         Activity 2
L2 :- Mechanical work (WBS L2)
        Activity 3
        Activity 4
L3 :- Electrical Work (WBS L3)
        Activity 5
        Activity 6
Is there any way were I can have control on creating Network at Top WBS only    or
any validation were system will check the assignment of NW & WBS, if the BWS is L1 level system will save it or will issue error message????

Budget at all level WBS element

Dear All
In my project secrino i had created 4 level WBS elements i.e under 2ed level 3 rd level and under 3rd level 4th level i had created. when i am going for budget the system is taking only 4 th level WBS element total to all the Level of wbs.Please guide me to how to solve this issue. i want to have level by level budget.
Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
Amol is right, you don´t need total up the budget. But keep in mind If you have level 1 and level 2 for example and you want 1000 USD for level 1 and 5000 for level 2 it is needed budgeting 6000 for level 1 and 5000 for level 2 ( level 1 only have available 1000 USD)

Possible to Have ToC Default to Show Only Top Level (collapse sublevels)?

Howdy!
I'll bet I'm not the only one wishing for this. Let's say you're using Captivate 4's Table of Contents feature with a longish movie of Cp slides, which is chunked into bite-size sections content-wise. In the ToC, though, you can't mimic that same organization scheme; at least, the learner would first need to collapse all the ToC folders you've created so they see only the top-level listing.
This can be a critical issue: keeping the at-first-glance list in the ToC brief enough to be inviting to learners, yet allowing learners to drive which details are currently visible.
A movie's topical hierarchy could be along these lines, for example ...
Section 1 - National Brands
What are National Brands?
Why Are They Important to Our Business?
Working with Nat. Brands
Practice Your Knowledge
Section 2 - International Brands
What are International Brands?
Why Are They Important to Our Business?
Working with Intl. Brands
Practice Your Knowledge
You'd like to organize the ToC to show only the section titles (1st level) and to suppress the 2nd-level detail (slide titles) until the learner chooses to expand the folder to see those details.
I've tried things like grouping the slides into sections in the Storyboard view and organizing the slides into sections strictly within the ToC -- both to no avail.
Has anyone solved for this need yet?
I'm all ears, and you'd be doing learners of the world a huge favor.
Thanks!

Hi, Jim.
Thanks for being 'on the case' and looking into this so quickly. Your
findings are encouraging, although my user base is generally working with
IE 6 and FP8 or 9.
Since the only thing I may influence is getting IT to help push out FP10,
I'm hoping it's more of a player- than a browser-version issue.
I'll test things out by Monday and let you know the results. Wish me luck!

Dave,
I just tested this on my local web server and it worked fine. I created a
blank project with 8 slides. Created my TOC with grouping... 2 slides in
each group. I turned on self paced learning. I tried with and without the
widget and it picked up where I left off in either case. See
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B86WuEq6SVwRNWIwMjhjODctMjE2Yy00MWE2LWI5YzEtMGQxYzNjOWQ0Z mI2&hl=en.
I published using FP10 and IE8 to view. Notice any difference between
your project and this one?
Thanks,

How to make the report shows only top level steps

HI,
I use many subsequences in my tests. I have no interest to see them in the report. How can I force the report to show only top level steps?
Thanks
Rafi

I needed to prevent 'Skipped' steps from appearing in my reports. One way to do this is to override the SequenceFilePostResultListEntry callback in the model. You do this by clicking on Edit and then Sequence File Callbacks and then find SequenceFilePostResultListEntry in the list and click the Add button.
Edit your new callback in your sequence file to check for a pre-condition. In my case I checked for Parameters.Result.Status == "Skipped" since that parameter is set to Skipped, Done, etc. based on the result.
If the condition was true then my only step in the callback was to set Parameters.DiscardResults = True. The TestStand model will then throw that result away when it processes the report. You could add a step for every type of data you wish to discard.
A second method that is easier to implement, but time consuming, is to select each step you DON'T want in your report and bring up the Properties for that step. Under the Run Options tab, deselect the Record Results box. That will keep the results of that step out of the report, but you have to do this for EVERY step you don't want to have reported. The first approach I provided acts to filter the results.
If you aren't sure what the Parameters.Result.Status will be, then set a breakpoint after that step is executed and scan the parameters when the sequence is halted there. You can then detect the actual text used as a result for that step, such as "Done" and can set your pre-condition appropriately.

Hide Top level navigation if user assigned only one role

Hi,
I would like to hide the top level navigation if user assigned with only one role.
I can create role based rule to show desktop using Master rule collection, but is it possible by doing to with role count.
If user has multiple roles show desktop1 else show desktop2

not sure if this possible ,you may check feasibility of creating a application which checks user role count and if role count is = 1 load the Portal url (URL alais) which had TLN iview invisible in the same window else do nothing and load the portal with the desktop which has tln.
Put the application in framewrk page which has TLN visible.
create a URL alias and create a desktop -framework page which dont have TLN ,assign this desktop to this URL alias in rule collection set its priority before user conditions check in rule collection so that it has high priority before user or group check in rule collection.
you can create a poc in sandbox and check if it wiorks?
