Budget Planning for Plant Maintenance

Explain functions for Budget planning through SAP BW-BPS (SAP Business Information
Warehouse)

SAP has the MCB functionlity for this.
With maintenance cost budgeting (MCB) functionality, SAP offers a product life cycle management cross-application component supplying a solution for planning a maintenance cost budget. A MCB in general is a budget for all costs for maintenance, inspection, and repair of technical assets. In the stricter sense of SAP R/3 software, a MCB is a budget for PM order costs.
MCB provides the following planning scenarios with pre-configured standard entries:
- The history-based scenario is history-based and the budget categories are combined in one overall planning scenario. This scenario can create records with budget categories preventive, planned or unplanned.
- The ad-hoc (hist) scenario
- The maintenance plan scenario is zero-based and can only create records with budget use preventive.
- The task list scenario is zero-based and can only create records with budget use planned.
- The ad-hoc (plan) scenario is zero-based and can create records with budget categories planned or unplanned.
The benefits of an appropriate budgeting tool include:
- Tool to drive down maintenance costs
- Better data integrity than spreadsheet-based budgeting
- Access to your plan data from everywhere with a user-friendly front end (Web interfaces)
- Ability to reflect changes in near future
- Flexible and accurate reporting
- Integration with other enterprise systems
- Data extracted automatically from back-end system
- Reduction of the budget preparation time
- Continuous planning with standardized, automated budget processes
- Better transparency of the budget planning process
- Support of planning as a company-wide effort, with a great number of managers and employees contributing
- Not just a tool but analytical applications

Budgeting/Planning/Forecasting products

I am currently researching new internet based applications for
budgeting/planning/forecasting (rolling forecast). I am looking
at a product from Adaytum called eplanning. What Oracle
product(s) would be equivalent in functionalities and
capabilities to eplanning from Adaytum?
Is eplanning from Adaytum better than Oracle products for
Budgeting? Planning? Forecasting?
Where would I find an article that compare/rate them?
Thanks

Clarity Systems seems to be more flexible than Hyperion Planning. We've been using Planning now for 2 years and are considering transitioning to Clarity Systems. Clarity hooks up to Essbase cubes in the background just as Planning does but offers more features and less limitations than Planning. Hope this is helpful. Cameron

An SAP Solution for capital planning and Budgeting of Capital Assets?

Is there an SAP Solution for the Planning and Budgeting of Capital Assets?
A solution that provides planning, budgeting, and tracking for capital assets through the entire life cycle of each asset, from the initial request through the final disposal.
The solution needs to be able to run scenarios. A scenario contains equipment that may potentially be purchased. Scenario items are used to help determine cost, capacity, and cash flow feasibility.

Hi
What you suggested is the ideal approach...
However, if they say that the budget allocated to capital purposes (70%) applies to both capital projects and expenses and they would like to control it together, but have reports separately, it is not possible with standard SAP...
If they want to have just one IO for both cap and exp, You can suggest them a work around to capture CAPITAL or EXPENSE in a ref field (XREF1 in BSEG) and you can run KOB1 with XREF1 displayed in it....
In standard KOB1, XREF1 is not displayed, you have to use Exit COOMEP01 to include the fields you want... Add XREF1 to the Structure CI_RKPOS and write your code in the include ZXKAEPU01 of EXIT_SAPLKAEP_001
Without an identifier @ the time of booking the transaction in the system (Either by way of IO or a ref field), you wont be able to generate reports later on

ECM Plan with no budget, planning, or approval for hourly union employees

We are implementing Enterprise Compensation Management at my company. We are on 6.0 Ehp5. One of our requirements is for a General Increase Plan (Salary Adjustment) for union employees. There is no approval process for this plan. Once top leadership has approved the increase (outside of SAP) every eligible employeeu2019s base pay is increased by the same percentage. Also, this group of employees has fixed pay per job. We use table T510 to store their pay scales and levels. So we normally increase the values in T510 by the approved percentage and then create new IT0008 via mass upload.
Since we are implementing ECM and want this plan to be administered through ECM, my question is about how that should work. I was thinking that we would use PECM_CREATE_COMP_PRO to create the Compensation Process record and bring to the minimum. I am not sure if this transaction looks at T510 or just T710 or the Planned Compensation (HRP1005). I assume we would then use PECM_CHANGE_STATUS to change the status to u201CApprovedu201D (not sure if the IT0759 has to be in Appoved status before being activated). Lastly we would use PECM_CHANGE_STATUS to Activate the Compensation Process infotypes. Does this sound like the way to handle a plan where every eligible employee gets the same % increase or do you know of a best practice you could share?

Hi Vishal,
Nice to see your reply, i am having SAP_ALL permissions in the backend system, my user id was attached to employee, that employee is top level manager, i am able to see employees successfully in MSS 600 Compensation Approval WebDynpro JAVA application for Approval and Rejection, but i am not able to see employeed in MSS 604 (EHP4) Review Planning(Compensation Approval) WebDynpro ABAP application.
When i am trying to execute that application even i am not able to see any errors, the screen looks fine, only in the table it displays " table does not contain data"
If you have any idea please help me on this one.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Babu.

COPA-KE3I, Tranasport for Planning Level

Dear All,
When i am using Transaction Code KE3I to create a transport Request for transporting Planning Levels, i am being prompted with a Work Bench Request and a Customizing request. Can you please explain the significance of the Work Becnh Request here(since in the T Code SE09 i find all the Planning Levels i intended to transport under Customising Request and the Work Bench Request seems to be empty).Should both these requests be transported ? Can you also guide me in the sequence of releasing them.
Best Regards
COTINYFEET

Dear Ajay ,
It seems i have no other option but to use KE3I in my Project. Now if i am using KE3I, and i have got two Reuests a) Workbench Request( this does not contain any Data when i see using SE09) b) Customizing Request(all the Planning Levels that are intended to be transported are there in this , used SE09 to view here).
These are my Questions
1) Should i Release both the Request. If so what is the sequence?
2) What are the consequences if i dont release Workbench Request(since it contains no objects to be transported) and release only Customizng Request?
3) Why should there be a Workbench Request Created here(KE3I), when i dont get it in KEPM(here only Customizing Request Is Created when i transport Planning Levels)
Could you please shed some light into my queries.
Best Regards
COTINYFEET

Schedule manager for budget cycle

Hi,
I have a requirement from client where they want to configure a schedule manager for budget cycle and link it to a transaction code.So whenever a user logs into the schedule manager he gets an update as to when he has to update the budget.This is more of calendar( timelines guidence) requirement.They do not want the system to update the budget cycle automatically.
The idea is to ensure that user has the authority to maintain budget cycle at the same time the timelines are maintained by system.
Can this be done through schedule manager ? if yes can some hep me with config.
If no, then is there any other alternative to this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Pranay

Hi ,
Please note that I want the Schedule manager for following activites.
GL PLANNING: GP12N, GLPLUP, GP12NA
DBC planning via KE13N, KEPM, KE30
STRUCTURE COST PLANNING VIA KP06.
The client wants to maintain the calendar for this planning processes and track their status as well.
Please let me know as to how can this be configured.

NOT WORKING -How To Display All Comments for a Planning Package

Hi All,
I am using How to Document "How To Display All Comments for a Planning Package" to display comments for list of "cost center" against different "fiscal/year" for Key Figure "Budget Amount".
Below is how the Layout looks like where comments are posted against Cost Center- year combination.
Cost Center                          2007     2008     2009     2010     2011
3          2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00
4          2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00
6          2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00
7          2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00     2.00
This case is very similar to the example given in how to document but after following all the steps correctly in the document and also followings various forum links such as below , I am not able to display the comments for list of Cost Centers.
"How to...BSP display comments"...problem with row comment
Below are the issues being faced:
1) When i save the comments , the icon for comments (indicating that some comments have been entered) is not shown against selection of Cost Center-Year although the comment is saved.Comment are also visible in BPS0.
2) On execution "Web interface could not be loaded" - is the message that is shown in the area where BPS application should show all the comments.
Highly Appreciate any help with issues mentioned above.
Kind Regards,
Robin Johri

Hello Robin,
1) please check if you set the row/cell selection property correctly for the layout component in the web interface.
2) the error does not make sense since the comments are displayed in an iframe using a BSP application, not a web interface. Check the URL in the HTML text component.

Equivalent of 9KE0, for budget

Hello,
I need to adjust budget on a profit center
What is the equivalent of transaction 9KE0, which is PCA journal entry, for budget?
Thanks in advance
KR - Loï

Are you talking about the Plan on a Profit Centre?
If so plans are changed via 7KE1 and 7KE3 BUT normally the plan on the Profit Centre comes from the Plans on the Cost Centres, Internal Orders, etc (see 1KE0)
So make sure this is what you want to do.
Hope this helps.
