Close of Customer Project without Settlement

Hi All,
Is it necessary to have Settlement rules for the Projects that are Subject to Result Analysis.
We want to Close the Customer Project without settlment, Since the RA has been carried out for this project.
When we are trying to Close the Project.Error Message.Still WIP Exists for this Project.
Please suggest what is the best way to close the Project without carrying settlement Run.
Regards,

Try this,
Create a settlement profile as "Not for Settlement", check the radio button for "Not for Settlement" and in the valid receivers maintain the option in the dropdown as Settlement optional or Settlement Not Required. Assign this Settlement profile to the project profile as well as maintain it in the settlement strategy for the respective Object.
Once you are done with this, run your usual scenario and then try to close the project without running settlement. See what happens and revert with your findings.
Regards,
Gokul

Settlement of customer project--without COPA

Hi guru's,

I need to sit with my CO consultant.
My counter part CO Consultant has not worked with PS integration so he is not having idea about the settlement for projects....i need to make him understand.
Please help me.

Recommendations in Customer Projects
In customer projects, the actual costs are settled, but accrued amounts (such as costs of sales or inventory from which revenue can be generated) are not. You carry out this settlement at billing element level.
For customer projects which you settle in full to Profitability Analysis, it is a good idea to generate the settlement rule using a strategy defined in the IMG. The standard system we deliver includes a strategy for automatically generated settlement rules for customer projects.
The system uses this strategy to generate the following:
u2022     For all billing elements:
o     Results analysis key
o     Settlement to profitability segment
o     A settlement profile providing for settlement in full
u2022     For all other WBS elements
o     No results analysis key
o     A settlement profile providing for no settlement
If account assignment elements within a billing structure do not contribute to the cost of sales, you can change the settlement rule manually.
If you maintain the settlement rule manually, we recommend you proceed as follows:
u2022     Use a project profile with a settlement profile that forbids settlement. This initially prevents settlement for all the WBS elements in the project.
u2022     Change the settlement profile in the billing elements manually. Define a settlement profile that permits settlement.
u2022     If you want to settle account assignment elements (in whole or in part), you must change the settlement profile for account assignment elements manually.
You change the settlement profile in the settlement rule for the object by choosing Goto  Settlement parameters. There is a parameter in the settlement profile which you can use to define whether settlement is forbidden, allowed, or required.
Avoid making settlements within the project hierarchy. These can adversely affect system performance.

How to close an Investment Project without Capitalizing

Hi All,
Requirement is how to close an Investment Project midway, when cost have been settled to AuC over several periods.
In present system they transfer the cost from their Work In progres account to a Cost center.
Thanks and regards
Maneesh

let us say over the time 1000 is in AuC
do a financial journal
Cr 1000 WBS Dr 1000 Cost centre (just use a dummy cost centre)
Now settle WBS to AuC
Dr 1000 WBS Cr AuC 1000
Now the AuC has 0 and can be deleted
The WBS has 0 and can be closed
The cost centre now has the debit 1000 - you can do whatever you want with that

Customer projects

Dear All,
            Till now i am working at investment projects now i am at customer projects.I am selling BTS towers to my customers.I've made structure for it but client need to go at WBS element level as the material is procured at WBSE level.
                                                    Tell me how can i get the whole actual cost of project.As the material is assigned to wbse level only.But how can i get other cost as services,wages and other if activities is only for scheduling or date monitering.

Period-End Closing for a Customer Project
Usage
In this IDES process, you carry out a month-end closing. To do this, you first post all period-based data on the project. You then determine the data relevant to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) for the given period, and settle this data to CO-PA. You can evaluate the data either in the project information system, or in Profitability Analysis.
Prerequisites
This IDES process is based on the data from the process Make-to-Order Production of Elevators. You should carry out this process before you start the period-end closing .
Procedure
You can find the data for this process under .
1.     Actual overhead rates
The system calculates the overhead and updates them in the project.
See also Determining Overhead Rates and Evaluating Project Data by Cost Element
2.     Settlement generation
Before you carry out results analysis and settlement, you first need to have correctly maintained the settlement rule and the PA transfer structure. The system generates the relevant entries automatically when it generates the settlement rule.
See Generating the Settlement Rule and Checking the Settlement Rule.
3.     Results analysis
The system determines by period the data relevant to results analysis, such as, work-in-process and inventory costs.
See Executing Results Analysis
4.     Settlement
You settle the data from results analysis to the profitability segment. This means that the project data is now available to Controlling.
See Executing Settlement and Displaying Line Items.
You can settle the costs of customer projects. You need to define the cost receivers in the settlement profile.
Generally costs for customer projects are settled to 'Profitability Segment'.
Results Analysis Methods - Use
Which resul ts analysis method you choose depends on your business requirements. A company will normally run different types of processing u2013 and therefore use different methods of results analysis u2013 simultaneously. Results analysis methods contain the rule for calculating the results analysis data.
Prerequisites
The standard system contains a number of different results analysis methods. Decide which results analysis method you want to use.
Choose a results analysis method in simplified Customizing for Product Cost by Sales Order under Period-End Closing  Results Analysis  Valuation Method.
Decision Criteria
Capitalized Costs, Revenue in Excess of Billings, and Reserves
Legal requirements in different countries stipulate that unrealized profits can be capitalized or that they cannot be capitalized. This situation requires different balancing methods in the different countries.
u2022     If you want to capitalize unrealized profits, use a results analysis method that can be used to create revenue in excess of billings.
u2022     If you want to capitalize unrealized profits, use a results analysis method that can be used to create capitalized costs.
Some methods of creating capitalized costs and creating revenue in excess of billings also allow automatic creation of reserves for unrealized costs or reserves for imminent losses.
Milestone Billing / Milestone Delivery
If you want to use milestone billing or milestone delivery, use a results analysis method that allows creation of new capitalized costs in each period.
Features
For the system to be able to place the costs and revenues in relation to each other, a calculated percentage of completion (POC) must be generated. The percentage of completion can be calculated on the basis of the following data:
u2022     R(p) planned revenues; C(p) planned costs; Q(p) planned quantity
u2022     R(a) actual revenues; C(a) actual costs; Q(a) actual quantity
The system can calculate results analysis data using the percentage of completion. This data includes:
u2022     C(z) capitalized costs (work in process)
u2022     C(r) reserves for unrealized costs
u2022     R(z) revenue in excess of billings
u2022     R(r) revenue surplus
u2022     R(PA) revenue affecting net income
u2022     C(PA) costs affecting net income (cost of sales)
This results in the following formulas:
R(PA) = POC * R(p)
C(PA) = COS * C(p)
This has the following consequences:
u2022     The revenue affecting net income is calculated by multiplying the percentage of completion by the planned revenue.
u2022     The cost of sales is calculated by multiplying the percentage of completion by the planned costs.
u2022     In the revenue-based results analysis method, the COS is calculated as follows:
u2022     POC = R(a) / R(p)
u2022     Therefore: R(PA) = R(a) / R(p) * R(p) = R(a)
u2022     C(PA) = R(a) / R(p) * C(p)
u2022     In the POC method, the COS is calculated as follows:
u2022     POC = C(a) / C(p)
u2022     Therefore: R(PA) = C(a) / C(p) * R(p)
u2022     C(PA) = C(a) / C(p) * C(p) = C(a)
The following formula always holds:
u2022     C(PA) < C(a) u2013-> C(z)
If the costs that affect net income are less than the actual costs, the system creates capitalized costs. The capitalized costs can be capitalized in the balance sheet through settlement to FI.
u2022     C(PA) > C(a) --> C(r)
If the costs affecting net income are greater than the actual costs, the system creates reserves for unrealized costs. The reserves can be shown as a liability in the balance sheet through settlement to FI.
u2022     R(PA) < R(a) --> R(r)
If the revenue affecting net income is less than the actual revenue, the system creates a revenue surplus. The revenue surplus is basically a reserve. The revenue surplus can be shown as a liability in the balance sheet through settlement to FI.
u2022     R(PA) > R(a) --> R(z)
If the revenue affecting net income is greater than the actual revenue, the system creates revenue in excess of billings. The revenue in excess of billings can be capitalized in the balance sheet through settlement to FI.

Without COPA customer project settlement

Without COPA customer project settlement - where it should get settled ?
MGK

Should it? Well, first you need to know why do you want to settle. If you have RA to be posted for example.

Customer project Settlement

Dear All,
i am working in customer projects. Actual cost and revenues r flowing.The RA key to the top WBS Element which is also billing element. I heve done the revenue based result anlaysis.Profit and loss are showing in RA. Now i want to settle the project to CO-PA.
Given settlement rule to top WBS Element and all other lower WBS element have profile not ot settle.if i run settlement CJ88 then nothing is flowing and not any error.
Need solution.

Dear,
i m settleing the lower level WBS Element to top WBS Element which is billing element and result analysis is done for that top wbse .Then i want to settle the top wbse to profibility segement .Then after trying some config steps and defining PA transfer strature settlement of lower level wbse to upper level wbse is going well and accounting document is creating well.And CJI3 report its flowing well.
but in top WBSE the rule is profibility segment.I've done the result analysis and the net value (revenue-actual cost)
is also showing.That value is on the lower level wbse and that only value is going to TOP wbse after settlement.
but now i want to settle this top wbse but its showing no accured cost or revenue.
Is the process i m using is correct or i've to do it by some other method.The RA valuation method is revenue based.

Settlement in Customer Projects

Dear all,
In our scenario, we have customer projects which are settled to Profitability segment. The client doesn't want to settle the projects periodically. The client wants to settle the project only onces when the project is over. In this case the project will hold cost till the last day.
Client intents to use RA only for information purpose and not for posting the RA value on the project. Hence clients decision seems genuine.
What are the impact of this decision? How often do we really have to settle the project in this situation?
What is the impact of not settling the project at all?
Request your opinion on this issue.
Warm regards,
Srinivas Potluri

Hi Srini,
The business process as required by you is possible & i don't think there will be any impact. Project settlement can be made on completion of project iteself, n't periodically as your identifying cost / revenue externally.
RA can be used to identify calculated revenue / cost & n't to consider real posting into FI.
Few queries, i would like to ask on your business scenarios. If the project settlemnt is after completion of project only, how project profitability is obtained from period to period. How is balance sheet reporting for the ongoing projects.
Hope this will help you.
Regards,
Rakesh Pradhan

Logic crashes when using the "Close Project without Saving" key command

The "Close Project without Saving" key command does not work in LP8. When I try to use it, Logic crashes. This is reproducible on my system. Can anyone try and confirm this?

For me this shortcut is quite important on stage when I have to switch songs as fast as possible. It also is foolproof because on stage I never want to save with all the controller changes I did during a performance.
Just hit the key command, load the next song, done.

After Settlement, Cost not transfer from one WBS to another WBS in customer project

Hello Experts,
I am trying to settle cost from one WBS (i.e. XYZ-000014-1) to another WBS (i.e. XYZ-00001)in customer project.
Its a revenue type of project.
I have added 4 internal activities in an network under one WBS (i.e. XYZ-000014-1).
Got actual values after confirming activities, then settle that network cost on WBS (i.e. XYZ-000014-1) through CJ88.
Now while trying to settle that cost from WBS (i.e. XYZ-000014-1) to WBS (i.e. XYZ-00001) through CJ88, system not showing any result.
Kindly give ur valuable inputs.
Regards,

Kindly tell me that is it a standard functionality of SAP that through CJ88 we can transfer cost from WBS to WBS.
Technically ,Yes.Cost is actually transferred from one cost object to another cost object.
I hv discuss the same with some of my frds ...some are denying the same that its not a standard functionality of SAP to transfer cost on same cost object.
Instead of 'transfer' I would rather use the word 'settlement' . Practically, they are right as projects-WBS are temporary endeavors of companies, and cost can not reside on WBS permanently as it has to settle to some entity (organizational unit) which can be accounted during the reconciliation of their chart of accounts and balance sheets.
SAP has provided us an option to settle our cost to WBS and hence its standard . Generally, we use it when we have 1 WBS at level 1 and all lower WBS's costs is settled to this WBS . Here, we specify Level 1 WBS as the receiver of cost of these lower WBS.
Hope,I am clear here.

Does " Close Project without Saving " key assignment work at all ?

I'm using Logic Express 8. I'd really like to be able to close a project without seeing the " do I want to save the project " box.
There is a function to do that in the Keypress Commands, but it seems broken. I've tried assigning several different keypress combinations to that function and all they do is crash Logic when I try to use them.
So, am I doing something wrong, missing something, or is that command broken ?
???

Come on, how hard would it be for someone out there to try this and let me know if it's my problem .. or a bug ?
Logic Express Preferences ... Key Commands .... Global Commands ... Close Project without Saving.... assign some key combo to that, then go back to a project and try it.
Oh, and then fill out the cute - report this to Apple- thing when it pops up after the crash so someone will fix this and I can move on

About Generating Settlement Rule in Customer Project

Hi Experts,
I am doing the exercise of customer project T-100## in CA830.
While generating the settlement rule, the error log appeared: No profitability segment could be determined for the billing elements. So the settlement rule generation failured.
May somebody guide me how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Balakrishman,
In my case, the fields of Business Area/Profit center have already been maintained. I think there must be other reasons that result in these error. Hope we can discuss further. Thank you for your help!

Settlement for Internal and Customer Project

Hi Guys,
I am new to SAP PS.
I have a R&D project(Internal Project) and a Customer project. I know internal project is treated as Asset and settled as AUC, but can we settle it in any other way apart from cost center and GL account.
Then what about Customer project. I want to know how can we settle these both project and what are the setting and what are settlement rules used for settling Internal and Customer project?
Please need your help.
Thanks and Regards,
Roshan Malaruthu

For Internal/Investment project, you can settle all actual line items of CJIC/CJI3 to AUC then final settle capitalized items of AUC to FXA i.e. on fixed Asset using final settlement rule.
Note: You can also use GL Account or Cost Center here for settlement receiver.
Before doing this, you need to configure investment & settlement Profile. And assigned them to your Project Profile.
For Customer Project, As Santosh said is correct, you have to use Profitability Segment as settlement receiver. Just select PSG as default Obj type in settlement profile.
Also refer the link below for more details:

Developing a custom AuthenticationProvider without idstore or credentials

From the thread: How to integrate a SSO based in cookie with ADF Security
==========================================================
At work they asked me to integrate a existing SSO based in cookie with the new ADF + Jdeveloper 11g + WLS. After google for days and read a lot of blogs and official documentation I've made a custom LoginModule. I made it very simple, it's just an "if" inside the login() function with the username, if the username is "john" I put to the Subject some Principals. My steps are:
1- Create a new app based on "Fusion application" template.
2- Make a new ADF Taskflow with only one view inside (the entry point of the taskflow). The jspx only contains a welcome message.
3- Run the ADF Security wizard, all the steps with the default option, I don't change anything.
4- Put some users and some roles in jazn-data.xml, and maping them to an application role. Then I grant permissions to the application role to view the previous task flow.
At this point everything is ok. I run the taskflow and a basic login popup prompts me to write my username and password. Now I try to remove everything useless for me, like idstore, credentials, anonymous, etc. I only want a LoginModule that get the HttpRequest and passes it to an already done class that returns a true/false depending if the cookie is correct or not but, as I said before, my LoginModule is so simple now and even didn't try to do something more complicated than an if. The steps I try are:
in jps-config.xml
5- Remove idstore.xml and credentials.
6- (loginmodule tab) Make a new login module, and put here my class. The class is in the ViewController project and JDeveloper find it navigating through the heriarchy, so I have visibility. I put REQUIRE flag, add all roles and debug mode.
7- In the security context unmark the idstore.loginmodule and mark myLoginModule. Also delete the anonymous security context.
All that I got until now is a 500 error (Internal server error - Authorization Exception). Sometimes (the close i've ever been to do something correct) the browser ask me for user/password but then only recognizes the users that already are in WLS (idstore from previous tests), but NOT the "john" user that is inside my custom LoginModule. Even more, if I run the WLS from JDeveloper 11g in debug mode, the runtime never stops at breakpoints inside my custom login module. It seems that my LoginModule isn't deployed or I made some error maping the roles.
So, my questions are:
- I'm in the good way? If I want an authentication based in cookie/httprequest I have to do a custom LoginModule? My goal is to do a re-usable code, and re-use the code that my co-workers have done. They have a class that with only the HttpRequest determines if a user is logged or not.
- If I'm in the good way... how can I put my custom LoginModule in the WLS? I tried to search something in the Administration Panel (localhost:7101/console) but I did'nt find nothing.
- In case I'd got the custom LoginModule working fine in WLS... how can I get a HttpRequest from a LoginModule and avoid the username/password dialog? I've to make a filter and pass it to the my LoginModule? If it's correct... how?
I don't post my code because is so simple, it's based on DBTableLoginModule but without all the database access code.
Thanks to all!
P.D.: If this message isn't in the correct forum, I'm sorry. Feel free to move it.
P.D.2: Sorry about my english, I'm spanish. I know i've to practise a lot :)
===========================================================
After a week working in the problem I didn't solved it. I managed to write an AuthenticationProvider, a LoginModule and a Principal classes and I've put them into WLS, so "myAuthenticator" shows in the combo box ready to be used. But it doesn't work :( The server always shows me an exception (the last one tells me my class isn't a valid JAAS authenticator, but the MBean maker didn't complain). Is there any way to implement an Authenticator that doesn't use any credentials, idstore or callbacks? For example, can I implement an AuthenticatorProvider that grants me Principals only based in the hour of the day, or based in a boolean returned from a custom class, without any interaction with the user? It's really a must to have the user in the weblogic embedded LDAP or can I read the username from a cookie like in my case? Any advice will be very helpful, or some code would be awesome.
Another question related: Why the ADF Security wizard doesn't deploy well with the embedded WLS? The wizard lets me create a custom LoginModule and add it with the "+" button, but it simply doesn't deploy. Will be fixed in future releases or I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks to all.
Riveck.

So, since the ADF application is just using WLS Authentication, you're on the right path with the Authentication Provider.
What you need though, is an IdentityAsserter. The identity asserter tells the container you want to authenticate, but you don't have a password, you have a token...in your case some HTTP Header foo=john.
The good news is that there is already an identity asserter that you can use to start with...the SimpleSampleIdentityAsserter.
[https://codesamples.samplecode.oracle.com/servlets/tracking?id=S224]
This is the link to the samples.
I think what you want to do, is configure your LoginModule to be called when the IdentityAsserter gets called...this can be done in the getAssertionModuleConfiguration() method. Return an AppConfigurationEntry that references your login module.
Once you've got your identity asserter configured, what should happen is that when you access a protected page in ADF, JEE security will get triggered and the IdentityAsserter should get called, if you configure the login-method in web.xml to CLIENT_CERT.
