Configuration of project stock option

Dear All,according to the standard application and SAP help,when we create a project,we can make an option on the control tap with three choices,non-stock,non-valuated stock and valuated stock.But after we save the project,we can never make any changes among these three(turn gray).
What configuration should I make if I wanna make the non-valuated stock option hidden and the other two can be selected after saving(just like the fields).

Hi Kishore,
Concerning the issue on the statment that you made on configuration of the stock option whereby you have mentioned that after a project with profile of non-value stock option had been created, there is no turning back on choosing the another stock option. May I know what is the reason behind? i.e why the system does not allow a change?
Thank you very much.

Project stock options: valuated and non-valuated

Hi Experts
In some discussions, i have been told that the 'valuated project stock' option is adaptable for customer projects where as 'non-valuated project stock' option is for cost projects. is it right?
May explain what circumstances non-valuated project stock option is chosen?
If we choose non-valuated project stock option, the results analysis is must, is it right?
warm regards
ram

Even Customer projects may be Non-Valuated. It depends on client requirement.
Regarding result analysis it is not must in case of valuated. Again depends on customer requirement. Resulst anlysis can be used for both Valuated as well as Non-valuated projects.

Change Valuated Stock option in Project Defintion.

Hi
our company is using Finance and PS. Now we want to implement
logistics. for that we need to activate the option Valuated Stock. How
can we do the for existing project definition and wbs element.
Regards
Ganesh

Hi,
For existing projects, which are maintained with 'No project stock/Non-valuated stock' u can't change to 'Valuated stock'.
When you create a new project, initially u can chose whether to manage with valuated stock or No stock/non valuated stock. Once u save the project, u can't make any changes
Thanks

Project stock linked to 2 WBS elements

Dear experts,
We are doing the implementation of SAP into a telco company and we have got the following issue for purchases of networks links. The special thing about network links is that refer to materials that have to be build into two locations, and therefore, from a controlling point of view, each location has to be tracked separately (there are separate project stocks and the
materials end up in different fixed assets) However, they are purchased as a single unit. The key question is: how do you specify an accounting object for this single item?
In SAP, links would be assigned a (single) WBS element, which is essentially a cost collector for one specific location, it cannot be used for two locations. Furthermore, using multiple account assignment doesnu2019t work either because it is not compatible with accounting category Q.
Any idea how can we solve this issue?
Thank you very much for your help,
Luis

There are two options to cater to your requirement:-
First,Do the Project wise procurement by running an MRP for each WBS element and for each WBS element you can have network assigned which has the Material attached as componenet for that particular network and than procurement element can be created automatically by MRP .
Secondly if you still want to adopt the multiple account assignment than follow as described below:
You can have multiple account assignment category configured for Account assignment Cat. Q by changing the ID:Account Assignment Screen from 1 TO 2(Multiple account assignment.
This configuration change has to be done SPRO >Purchasing >Account Assignment> Mantain Account Assignment Catgory and here select Q account assignment catgeory and make relevant changes as explained above.

In Project stock valuation during GR MAP is picked up from VMVER field

Hi!
We are facing an issue during the GR of Material in Production order.
I will explain the scenario:
The main material is valuated in MAP (Moving average price).
On creation of the production order the planned value is coming ok ( summation of components).
As it was a project valuation, the MAP values are getting stored in the table QBEW.
The point of concern is at the time of doing GR the actual value is getting picked up from the field VMVER (=MAP/Period unit price in previous period)
and not from the field VERPR (= MAP/Period unit price).
As per the scenario the system must consider the latest MAP value that is from VERPR and not from VMVER.
Can't find out what setting is affecting this selection.
Abhra

Hi,
I am still having problems with this issue. The material is extended for plant 1200 and a valuation class and project stock valuation class have been set.
Is there a configuration setting required?

Change of Production Order to Project Stock from unrestricted stock

Hello Experts,
I need to have a workaround of transaction CO02. Actually, we have already implemented PS by using Project Stock but the problem is that we have almost thousands of production orders that will come into unrestricted stock after production. For these orders we want to make an account assignment for a project and we want that MRP to see all these production orders as entering project stock after production. If I do the same by CO02, it is very difficult for me to do it individually for each production order. So, is there any way to configure our need for passing from using unrestricted project stock to project stock ?
Thanks,
Kumar Srinivasan

Hi,
Then try implementing the following logic. Not sure if this can help you.
Use a material that is set up to trigger the production order and attach this material to a network activity that is set to be reserved for project stock Q and can only be GI to that WBS element. The planned costs are recognized in the project but the Actuals are only recognized when the finished material is GI back to the project. You can use your planned production orders and MRP in exactly the same way but they are just linked back to the project when they are completed.
If you need to transfer planned orders that are already in place then it can be done in MM. There’s a goods movement type specific to where you need to reference the WBS element that is set for requirements grouping.

Amit

Change PP order from PLANT STOCK to PROJECT STOCK ?

We are creating a production order via BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_REF. We are using an existing production order as our reference. The existing production order has account assignment to WBS, and the existing production order is listed under PROJECT STOCK in MD04. The newly created order does not have the assignment to WBS, and also is showing up as a fulfillment of PLANT STOCK in MD04.
We attempt to update (via CO02) the newly created order by populating the WBS and settlement rule, but it remains in PLANT STOCK. How can we get the production order removed from PLANT STOCK and show up in PROJECT STOCK for the correct WBS?

Hi,
I doubt the BAPI - BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_REF will help for your need, as WBS element is not one of the inputs for this BAPI.
A suggestion which might help:
- Create a planned order using BAPI - BAPI_PLANNEDORDER_CREATE by specifying the planned order type as PR. Here you can give the details of WBS & other things as needed.
- Next use BAPI - BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_PLORD where-in you can convert the planned order create in the earlier step into a production order.
This will ensure that the order will be in project segment.
Regards,
Vivek
Added
Just to inform you, SAP confirms that the BAPI - BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_REF simulates CO01 & not CO10. Hence you will be unable to use this BAPI to meet your need.
You can use the option suggested earlier or go for a BDC recording.

Easy Cost Planning & Project Stock

Dear Experts,
I am using Easy cost planning for WBS cost planning and Project definition control data tab page has Valuated Project stock selected.My costing model had an external procurement material for which I generated PR & PO thru Execution services.But the account assignment in my PR & PO was P with the corresponding WBS as account assignment and not Q.
I have two question regarding this,
1) Does it mean that while using ECP, Project stock concept will not work?
2)How can we get the pop up of procurement type options(like Res + PR for WBS element) while generating PR through execution services?

Hi,
I am replying again because in my last answer there was some typing mistake.
Hi,
I tried your scenario is my system.
whenever i am changing P to Q in Config in SPRO,It is giving an error that "The selected account assignment category is not supported" that means it is not meant for Q but i double click for object type PR WBS Element and changed Acct Assgmt Cat to Q then system allowed me to save.
The i create a PR and WBSE is coming in the Account Assignement ,then i converted PR to PO and then i recived goods as project stock.when i issued the material in ECP it is not issuing from Project stock because 221 Q is not present in Config for SPRO so it is issuing from Normal stock so special stock from ECP is not supported.
But you can manually issue the material to the WBSE in MIGO/MB1A by 221 Q.
Hope it is clear.

Project stock GR and GI occupy twice budget.

Hi Experts,
When the PO of project material Goods receipts, the statistical cost element of 90 category exists.
But when the PO Goods issue to project for consumption, the cost element is deleted.
Hence the project stock GR and GI occupy twice budget.
How can I reconstruct the statistical actual cost of project stock and project budget?
How can I solve this incontinuous data problem?
Thanks a lot.
Optional Backgroup INFO:
     At 2008/11/17, we created a statistical cost element (1605030000) for project material stock GL account whose category is 90. And at 2008/11/30, we deleted it because of financial departmentu2019s requirement.
    We find some project stocks who occupy project budget, and also some material purchase requisitions and material purchase orders who have commitments occupying project budget, are created during statistical cost element 1605030000 existing from 2008/11/17 to 2008/11/30.
    Now because statistical cost element 1605030000 doesnu2019t exist any more, when the project stock materials are issued to project for consumption, at the same time we got the material actual cost in the project, but the project stock still occupies the project budget which means the certain material occupies project budget twice in the form of project stock and project actual cost of material consumption. Could you do me a great favor to solve this inconsistent situation please?
    Further more, we want to delete all the commitments of the above material PRs and POs, and set free the budget which project stock occupies, could you help out? Is there any program to recalculate the commitment, the actual cost and the budget?
And if some day we want to add the statistical cost element (1605030000) for project material stock GL account back, how can we make all the material PRs and POs which are already in the SAP system occur commitment? How can we make all the project stock occupy project budget? Is there any program to recalculate the commitment, the actual cost and the budget?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Cost forecast and project stock

Dear all,
in our setup, we are using non valuated project stock. However, the 1st project to buy a component has to pay for it. Therefore, we activated the "Planification" flag in the network type (OPSC).
As a consequence, planned costs from network orders append the WBS element planned costs but not the assigned values.
We would like now to use cost forecast. It means we have to assign values which is exactly what we disabled by our previous config.
We are looking for a way to raise assigned values and roll up planned costs for project stock materials.
I tried to have a look in the Item Category setup but so far, I did not find anything.
Would anyone have an idea?
Thanks,
Thibault

Hi
thank you for your reply.
OPUV and OPSV are already configured as per your details.
However, we needed to tick the "Planification" in OPSC in order to have planned cost for Project Stock materials.
We are using non valuated project stock and it's the only way we found to roll up planned costs for those materials...

Inter company STO issuing from Project Stock

Hello Experts,
In my Scenario, I have two plants A & B which are in two different company codes
Plant A raises an STO to receive materials from Plant B.
Plant A will receive the materials into unrestricted use stock, but Plant B should issue from valuated project stock (via outbound delivery).
This is necessary to keep accurate cost tracking. If Plant B moved the project stock to unrestricted stock first, then the moving average price could be affected before transferring to plant A.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible? I don't see stock type Q available for movement 643.
Does anyone have any other options to for intercompany transfer of project stock?
Regards,
Thomas

I opened a message with OSS and below is the response. Basically it cannot be done with the standard system. There is a note on how to modify your system, but it is only for a certain releases and would be considered a core mod.
"Dear customer,
Thank you very much for contacting SAP Global Support Center.
unfortunately the functionality you expect does not exist within the
standard SAP design.
note 92231 deal with a modification suggestion how to create such
movement types in some releases. As this is a modification note
originally proposed for special customers, there is no general
modification for all releases. As the tables has changed
in 46B, the modifications to create 643Q proposed by SAP via the
corresponding notes are not made for your release. We do as well not
plan to provide a new modification note at the moment.
The creation of the movement type is therefore possible but is
considered a modification to the system design."

In the end, my client has decided to transfer the project stock to unrestricted stock before doing the STO. Please be aware that this could affect moving average price before doing the transfer.

Issuing Project Stock to Vendor

Hi,
I have the following scenario-
The organization's projects are being carried out by EPC/Turnkey contractors.But the management wants to keep a tab on the quantity of material issued to the vendor and then later consumed.But the Finance department does not want that to show as a valuated inventory in their accounts.
I think that the probable solution could be to have a non-valuated stock for my project.i would procure the materials with an account assignment category Q.In that case I can keep a track of the materials issued to the contractor without any values being shown against the stock in the inventory. Am i right?
But if the material is sent from one project to another under a different company code then in that case material values cant be taken into account for the different Comany codes.Please advise if its workable or not.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Abdul,
This is not an exact case of project sub contracting persay.
the scenario is that the organization is into construction business and it procures materials for the project but does not valuate it at the inventory level.
the materials are needed to be tracked at 2 levels-
1. giving the materials to the vendor for construction activity(for that we have made a separate storage location for the vendor and on receiving the material we transfer the material to that specific storage location).
2. tracking the materials actually used by the vendor(material is issued(GI) against the particular project element).
this is the reason we plan to procure materials with a Q account assignment using non-valuated stock option.
would request to let me know if the solution discussed above is right or not?
Secondly.the procured materials against a project may be transferred to another project which comes under a different company code.Here the point is that the stock being non-valuated would not result in value updations reflection in the companies' accounts.any input is appreciable
Thanks and Regards

Project stock and MD51 (or MD03) use with nonvaluated materials (ie ERSA)

I am looking for some help on a CBP(consumption based planning project) we are implementing for materials we treat financially as non-valuated in our
business. MD51 works for valued materials with project stock for us in CBP, but not for non-valuated. I am wondering if we are missing master data or
configuration or limitation or MD51 ? Our scenario:
- We are using material types ROH and ERSA with material type configuration for valuation tracking disabled.
- We stock these materials in project stock with a WBS that is non-valuated and assigned via naming to a supplier name.
- Materials are currently being planned on a external to our SAP system , so no CBP running yet.
- Purchase Requisitions and planned orders are coded for "Q" account assignment for ordering and received against.
- I have MRP2 view /individual collective set to '1' for these materials.
I don't see MD51 when being run for the WBS element for these materials even considering these for CBP run. It ignores with no planning
occurring.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Hello
Please observe that, even if you have defined a consumption based MRP type for the material, system automatically switches to the standard PD.
