CJ20N : Settlement Rules Heritage on unique IeC WBS Element

Hi Experts,
I've customize PS for an investment project, who have a stategy for top down heritage of the settlement rules from the project definition, and an automatic generation of an only IeC (on first WBS element) when the entire project is launched from the project definition.
All settlement rules are settled to the first WBS element (WBS project), who becomes the IeC.
Heritage is OK on all WBS elements and I can see them under "Edit -> Costs -> Settlement Rule".
When I try to see my seetlement rules on the first WBS Element (WBS project), the system turn in loop and dump after 2 minutes (time over message).
In my opinion, the error comes that the system permiss to affect the settlement rule (for exemple WBS -> I/0001) on his own object (WBS ID I/0001) . They have no error message when I save the project for the heritage.
After this operation, impossible to go back under "Edit -> Costs -> Settlement Rule" to see the settlement rules of this WBS Element.
For more information, I don't want the create the heritage to level 2 or 3 of my WBS elements structure, because I don't want to loose a level (coding mask I/XXXX.XXXX.XXX.XXXX).
Does an expert have a solution to resolv my problem ?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi herieric ,
The program should not enter into an endlos loop in such case. It is rather a program error than a consulting issue. You can copy the key words from the dumps and search the notes. If there is still no suitable notes, create a customer message and ask SAP for support.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Making Settlement rule mandatory for creating any WBS element

Hello All,
We have an requirement that system should not allow us to save any WBS element until the settlement rule is maintained.
This we want only for WBS elements where Investment rule is not assigned.
Can alyone help me to find out if this is possible, if yes then how.
Points Assured.
Thanks & Regards,
Jatinder Bansal

Hi,
The only way it seems possible is using exists in validations.
if not try to check the status of the wbs element in a validation. function module is STATUS_CHECK. and i think the system might set a special status, if a settlement rule has been maintained for a wbs element.

Settlement rules are permitted for one WBS

Hi Friends,
Would like to know how many settlement rules are permitted for one WBS Element , We have a need for over 200 Settlement rule.

Hi Friend,
Limitation of the number of settlement rules is 999.
The Notes 483600, 31721 and 720619 describe the issue. The technical restriction to 999 distribution rule groups can not be changed.

Settling the costs of a parent WBS elements

Dear experts,
i have a cost project consist of 3 levels work break down structure:
level 1: a root WBS element
level 2: splited into 2 WBS elements (Production - Maintenance)
level 3: spliting each WBS element of the above level into 3 WBS elements (Service - Materials - Labour)
actual postings ONLY is against level 3 WBS elements and the costs is acomulated to level 2 and then to level 1
but my customer wants to settle ONLY level 2 WBS elements (Production - Maintenance).
so...
i maintained settlement rules only for level 2 WBS elements (Production - Maintenance)
level 3 WBS elements (Service - Materials - Labour) are assigned settlement profile
90, which has the setting "Not for settlement".
when i tried to run settlement for level 2 WBS elements (Production - Maintenance) i failed coz i got 3 "Nor relevant" and 1 "No change"
so, my question is: is it possible to settle aparent WBS element in which there's no actual costs has incurred "has no actual costs of its own", however, it only has childs WBS elements that have actual costs

If you read your post carefully you will understand what mistake you are doing. Read SAP Help and search forum regarding settlement you will find the answer for this

TX CNS41 - settled cost from internal order to WBS element not displayed

Hi PS Expets,
I have a question regarding transaction CNS41 "Structure Overview" where cost settled from an internal order is not displayed in in the report for a selected project. This is in a ECC version 5.0
Settled costs from internal orders are posted with transaction type KOAO on WBS elements and when you check report RCNSTFCO you can see that the following transaction types are deselected when executing transaction CNS41:
delete t_rpsco_m where vorga = 'KOAO' "<   insert
                      or vorga = 'KOAL' "<   insert
                      or vorga = 'KOAP' "<   insert
                      or vorga = 'KOAQ' "<   insert
                      or vorga = 'KOAR'."<   insert
CALL FUNCTION 'HFPM_RPSCO_TO_RPSCO_LIS_CONV'
This is implemented according to OSS note 51971 in order to eliminate internal business volume in the project structure when executing a PS hierarchy report.
But this also eliminate the display of the cost from the internal order.
Any ideas or a work around in order to display settled cost from an internal order on a WBS element in transaction CNS41
Kind regards,
Anne

Hello Tison.
I guess you have the Project created with a BAPI in your system in background. As far as I have seen I'd try the following in ABAP to create Partners in the Project Definition: BAPI_BUS2001_PARTNER_CREATE_M or the corresponding method ProjectDefinitionPI.PartnerCreateMultiple. This should happen in background when the Project is created also.
Best regards.

Creation of settlement rules for WBS element

Hi,
Iam having problem when creating the settlement rules for WBS elements. The business goes like this.
We have XI interface which creates the Idocs and an inbound program(customized) to process the Idocs. When the Inbound program is run the WBS elements are created and settlement rules are created for the WBS elements. The inbound program is run automatically thru batch job.
First time when the Idocs are processed about 95% of the WBS elements have settlement rules created and for other 5% settlement rules are not created. The Idoc is in status 64. I tried reprocessing the Idoc and then the settlement rules are getting created succussfully. The problem is Iam not able to find why the Inbound program is not processing succusfully when its run first time but works when reprocessed.
I appreciate if anyone can send their views.
Best Regards
SK

Hi!
You might set the processing to check not only once the relevant IDocs, but more times...
Check out these programs, and set them into a batch job periodically...

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.

Error: Maintain settlement rule of the sender for a higher level WBS

Hi,
I dont want to maintain the settlement rule for a higher level WBS. How can i configure this in such a way that i dont get the following error:" Maintain settlement rule of the sender" while doing CJ88. Maintaing a separate Settlement profile for a higher level WBS is an option but we are looking if something else could be done The problem is that there are no actuals booked against, say, level 2 WBS but when i execute CJ88, i get the aforesaid error. How can i ensure that only the lowest level WBS ask for the settlement rule and not the levels above it. I have already removed the Investment profile from the higher level WBS but still getting the same error.
Regards,
DPil

Hi,
It is a type Capex WBS and Biling element is not checked. In fact i get a warning while doing the settlement: WBS is neither a billing element nor an account assignment element.
Diagnosis
WBS element is not indicated as either an account assignment element or as a billing element in the master record.
System Response
The WBS element cannot be assigned to an account.
Procedure
Correct your entries or add the missing indicator to the master record for the WBS element.
But this is just a warning. On pressing enter i get the error :Maintain settlement rule of the sender "

Settlement Rules on WBS

Is there any single screen wherein I can maintain the settlement rules for all the WBS elements under a project definition instead of selecting the WBS and then going through menu to maintain the rules?
I know its possible to select settlement rule button by selecting all WBS and then maintain rules by clicking Next Entry.
Expecting something similar to an overall screen available on WBS wherein we maintain the master data.
Help me.
Regards
Sreenivas

Hi Srinivas
Its not possible as you are looking at Projet Defintion level.
However, its possible to transfer settlement rule to all other WBS elements if similarities exists between them through T Code CJ02

Where to configure Account Assignment Category for WBS Settlement Rule?

Hi,
I would like to know where is the Account Assignment Category for WBS settlement rule (FXA, CTR, G/L, WBS) being configured. (SPRO Path)
Currently when I go to our settlement rule creation screen I can only see WBS and FXA, I need to add MAT (Material)
Thanks!
Regards,
Vivian

Hi Shrikant,
Do you mean in my CJ02 WBS Settlement Rule creation screen, I cannnot put MAT as account assignment category?
Does it mean that WBS element CANNOT be settled to material? and we can only settle PM order to material?
Thanks!

Vivian

Settlement of order -WBS Element

Dear Experts,
Can any one tell me what is meant by WBS element and in what scenario,PM orders settlement rule created with category as WBS.If possible tell me with any practical example.
regards
KRISHNAN

Dear,
Dear,
Budget: Amount of resources allocated under a particular head in a financial year.
Budget Control: Having/ creating a control on the resources allocated in a financial year.
Original Budget: The initial budget that you have allocated to a WBS element.
Supplement of Budget: One time/ discrete increment in the original budget.
Return of Budget: Taking out the unutilized portion of the budget.
Transfer of Budget: Transferring the budget among two or more expense heads.
Project Definition: A framework for a business undertaking with a fixed goal to achieve with given resources.
The project definition contains dates and organizational information that are binding for the entire project.
WBS Element: Individual structural element in a work breakdown structure (WBS) representing the hierarchical organization of an R/3 project. Describes either a concrete task or a partial one that can be further subdivided.
Proposed Business Process
Assume there are seven expense heads in maintenance department. There may be addition of expense head in near future.
Based on the maintenance heads, maintenance department will create a project in project system. This project will be used for statistical purpose only & will not have any financial implication.
Upon creation of a project, WBS elements will be created as per the expense heads. So for each expense head, there will be one top level WBS element. Again these WBS elements will be divided in twelve WBS elements. These twelve WBS elements represent twelve calendar months.
Budget will be allocated to each WBS element & the WBS element will be released from the project.
Maintenance department will create maintenance orders as per their work requirements. These orders will be settled to cost centre, which is maintained in the settlement rule. Also WBS element will have to be mentioned in each order so that the budget control can take place. So as to capture cost from each maintenance order, the WBS element field will be made mandatory field in maintenance order.
So when a maintenance order is released, system will do a budget check against the WBS element mentioned. If the budget check status is OK, order is released or else it will stopped from release. If the order is stopped from release, maintenance department will have to supplement the budget. Upon supplementing, the order is released again & the maintenance cost such as, labour, material costs can be booked on the order. Again the order cost is settled to cost centre & at the same time, budget is consumed from the respective WBS element.
Every year, maintenance department will copy the previous years project so as to save time & efforts to create project & WBS elements. And the maintenance department will assign the budget allocated to each WBS element in a financial year.
It is also possible to return the unutilised budget or, transfer of budget from one WBS element to another.

Settlement rule for AUC not automatically generated

Hi Experts,
I am working on a capital project scenario where I have configured the investment profile and assigned this to the project profile. I have also configured the settlement profile and allocation structure for settlement to FXA.
On release of the WBS element the AUC is automatically created.
I have posted costs to the WBS element.
When I run settlement in test mode, using CJ88 the details show the sender as the WBS element and the reciever as the AUC, and the amount = the cost posted to the WBS element in the posting period, (as expected)
However, (now my problem)
When I run settlement in "update" mode the settlement shows 1 settlement however when I drill down to see the sender or reciever details are blank. There are alno no accouting documents and a settlement rule does not display for the WBS element. There are no error messages even though the settlement has not taken effect.
Please can anyone advise on the possible cause of this error. One further point the document type on the settlement profile is configured as "SA" GL Account Document.
Thanks in advance.
Ian

hi,

Hello Guru's,
I have a scenario of capital proejcts. Were I create Assets with the help of Investment profile at the top(1st level) WBS element. Now my requirment is the cost of the second level WBS should be rolled upto top level WBS element. To do this I have to manually create settlement rule for all second level WBS to settle at top level. I have to create this rule automatically throught CBJ2 tcode.
As per SAP Note 211324 I have Implemented the modification. Now I have Insert value '5' with short text 'Superior WBS element'. Also have assign the strategy to Acct. Assign element. This strategy is also assigned to settlement profile. Also have assigned this settleemnt profile to project profile.
Now, when i run CJB2 tcode for my project the system issues me an error :-
Error(s) during creation of settlement rule
Message no. ORB509
Diagnosis
