Cost in a variant of appropriation request (IMA2N)

Dear All,
I need create a report that introduce costs in a variant of Appropriation Request. The cost should be introduced
with a legder account as you do in easy cost planning screen in the IMA2N transaction.
I had tried "BAPI_APPREQUEST_SETPLANVALUES" BAPI, but it doesn't allow to introduce the ledger account.
Do you know any BAPI or another thing that I can use to do this?
Thanks.

Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for your answer, but I already had tried a BDC screen capture and an LSMW for IMA2N transaction and the Easy Cost Planning screen is not correctly captured.
Thats why I wanted to know if there is any BAPI.
Thanks and regards.

Approval of Variants in Appropriation Requests

I require workflow for multiple variants for the same AR. It should be variant wise approval. When am creating the second variant and submitting it for approval I can not see the Approve Button, the system only shows Postpone Approval which is incorrect. Can any one throw light on this......

You are right. Assuming the first variant is approved and I could submit the second variant for approval only after putting the first variant in reject status. Now the second variant is created and I get to see "For Approval". I submit this one for approval and I dont see the "Approve" button coming up, instead it shows "Postpone Approval".
So there are two variants created. First one is in rejected status, second one is submitted for approval, when you see it display mode you see the "approve" button and when you go in change mode it shows up as "Postpone Approval".

Appropriation Requests

Hi
Can anyone explain me the importance of assigning a variant in Appropriation Request to a Plan version?
Also, I need some help in understanding how to show the cost distribution in an appropriation request if multiple projects are assigned to it. Actually, the businses process I'm involved in needs to attach multiple level-1 WBS elements to an appropriation request. So, I would like to know if I can show the cost splitting between the projects in the Appropriation Request.
Your help in this process is very valuable and will be rewarded with points.
Thanks,

I assume you have all IM relevant configurations in place (Program type etc.,)
Below is as an attempt to mention the process involved:
1. IM01 - Create the IM program
2. IM22- Create the Hierarchy structure (Ensure that AP's are allowed as measures)
3. IMA11-Create AP request. In the General tab mention the Partner (Approver) as your self. In the Control Tab mention the IM program and the Position ID.
4. Set the 'For Approval' status in Control data tab using IMA11.
5. Approve the AP from your mail Inbox using SBWP
For this to happen you need take help of an workflow consultant.
a.T Code OITN and activate the Event Linkage for AP requests
b.T Code PFTC, select the task type TS and task as 00300052, modify it from Menu Additional Data>Agent Assignment>Maintain. Click on attributes and select the radio button General Task.
6. Create and Release AP using IMA11. Choose the Measures/Assets tab page, choose WBS element and on the control data tab set the status Release.
7. Create WBS structure in CJ20N. System should transfer the IM position information from the measure.

Appropriation request planning

Hi All,
Where can I go to plan against an appropriation request per month? Currently I can only plan per Year.
Regards,

You can only plan overall and annual values for appropriation requests. It is not possible to plan according to cost elements or revenue elements as you can on orders or WBS elements (specially detailed cost planning per month).
If these methods of determining planned costs are not detailed enough for you, then you can use the functions of Easy Cost Planning for detailed cost planning directly on the appropriation request.
Prerequisites
You have to enter a costing variant in the planning profile for cost planning of appropriation requests. This planning profile has to be entered in the appropriation request type (in the Cost and revenue planning group box).
You can create a cost estimate for any appropriation request variant, which does not yet have a cost estimate and for which there are no plan values outside of the planning interval. Set up the planning interval in the planning profile for cost planning so that planning in the past is also possible.
The appropriation request type has to allow either only projects or only orders as measures.
If you want to copy the cost estimate to the measure later, then you have to set the Copy cost estimate indicator in the appropriation request type.
You edit planning profiles in Customizing for Investment Management. Choose Appropriation Requests -> Planning -> Cost Planning -> Maintain Planning Profile for Cost Planning.
For appropriation request types, choose Master Data -> Control Data -> Maintain Appropriation Request Types.
If these preconditions for costing are not fulfilled, then you cannot jump from the appropriation request to Easy Cost Planning. The system suppresses the necessary pushbutton in that case.
Features
You can enter only one cost estimate for each appropriation request variant.
The overall value that results from the cost estimate can be divided into investment costs and overhead costs on the basis of the investment percentage rate. The system multiplies the combined costs from the cost estimate by the investment percentage. The result is the amount of investment costs.
Once you have entered a cost estimate for a variant, you can no longer change the overall plan values manually. Any changes have to be made in the cost estimate. Only by deleting the cost estimate can you make investment and overhead costs available again for manual processing.
Revenue planning is separate from the cost estimate. Therefore you can still process revenue amounts even if you created a cost estimate.
For general information on the costing method, research on Easy Cost Planning further.

Ammar

Re: Approving two plan variants in an appropriation request

Hi All
I have created a variant 01 for appropriation request and approved it. I want to supplement the same appropriation request with a new budget. So , I created a new variant , and assigned it to a new plan version...But the problem here is I was unable to approve the new variant...The approval button is grayed out...Can anyone help me out please...Why the system is not letting me to approve the new plan variant.

Hi ,
as I said variants are like quotations, so you have to maintain it...........
in case of rolling up plan values you have to select respective status profile before rolling up respective variant version or variant version range....... (IM34)
1. approved status profile...
2. created status profile..
3. released status profile...... like that
- give both CRTD & APPRD versions in IM34... select status profile for approved & roll up
then check in IM36 ...

Preinvestment analysis in Investment Mgt. appropriation request variant

Hi,
Can anybody provide some information on preinvestment analysis in SAP system?
This tab is available in Investment Management- appropriation request - Varinats - Preinvestment analysis - Caliculate preinvestment analysis figures.
I want the preinvestment analysis of an appropriation request shud be caliculated by SAP system itself. Wat r the configurations required to be done?
Thanks
Kishore

You have to do the customization in IMG > Investment management > Appropriation Request > Planning > Specify Yield Curve for Determining Net Present Value
Settings:
1. Enter a yield curve for the currency,
2. For each yield curve, enter any number of terms (The time period is not allowed to exceed 80 years).
3. For each term, enter interest rate.
After this Specify Value Date for Determining Net Present Value in the next step.
Be sure of the cash flow for the variant, for correct calculation of the IRR and net present value.
Reward points if the solution is useful
Thanx

How to fill Functional Area on Appropriation request

Hi guys!
We faced a problem to fill standart field IMAK-FKBER (functional area) on Appropriation request. Despite the fact it exists in standart table, there are no standart ways to fill that field through IMA1N or IMA11.
However we assigned FA NG000001 to a Cost center 10000001 and defined that cost center in AR, but still after saving chnages no value changed in IMAK-FKBER?
Does anyone know which organisational units (company code, business area, functional location) effect on the value of functional area in IMAK table? Or is there other way to define FA for appropriation request?
Any help appreciated.

Hi Kir Zu,
I suspect this is an obsolete field, since it makes little sense to be derived from anything at all, while at the same time it is not on the screen.
SAP has a number of obsolete fields even in Customizing activities that allow an entry, but ignored by standard programs.
The best way to confirm it would be to look through ABAP code for AR data save. You can try to populate it with a user exit, but it also makes little sense since the field is not visible.
Also look at the function that creates WBS-element/Order from IMA11, it is passing the master data values to respective WBS/Order and your ABAPer can see if Functional Area is passed or not.
Functional Area makes sense only for Account Assignment Objects used in Financial Accounting, while AR is not an account assignment object.

Paulo

IM - Appropriation Request

Hi,
We need to implement Appropriation Request and have the approval done automatically via workflow.
I have some questions here. Any inputs will be appreciated.
1. I noticed when I go to SPRO: Investment Management > Choose Appropriation Requests > Master Data > Control Data > Process Selection Criteria, there seems to be an option for Internet (Easy Web). --> I want to know if this means users will need to login to web gui to access SAP?
2. How to link to workflow? Is it possible to set it to link to workflow once the appropriation request is created / saved?
I would appreciate if you can send me any relevant job aid / guide on implementing this.
Thanks!
Regards,
Vivian

The standard AR workflow sends a notification (document once approved) to the applicant and workflow to the approver (for approval). For details refer the link below:

Number of Appropriation request submitted for approval

Hi Friends,
There are around 14000 appropriation request (AR's) are created in my system. And we have developed workflow for AR approval. And AR should be submitted for approval via only Control tab in IMA11 but some of the AR's are submitted via Variant Tab ( causing problem in work flow)
Now I would like to know the number of AR's which are submitted via variant tab. I can find out this by selecting AR's from IMAK table and then checking IMA11 for each AR but it is very time consuming.
Can I get the number of AR's submitted for approval via variant tab by using any table or any report available for this purpose.
Any pointers.
Regards
Ashutosh

The problem sounds more like a business area problem rather than workflow problem. From the workflow side you can look into the user who created the workflow but I'm not sure that would be helpful. What you might want to do is to check with your DB admin as they might be able to find out a way.

IM - Appropriation Request approval authorization based on Budget Value

Hi all,
Can someone help me confirm the following?
I'm implementing Investment Management module and use appropriation request (AR) to approve budgets where AR statuses can be approved only by certain authorization groups, and we do not use Workflow. The problem is that we want the status change not only based on authorization but combined with the budget value. For example, for budget <50,000 then Superintendants can approve the AR but if it's >50,000 then only Managers can approve the AR.
As far as I've looked, IM module does not provide this functionality where authorization can be restricted based on budget value. Can someone confirm this?
Thx very much in advance!
cheers,

RE: Approving supplement to an appropriation request which was already appr

Hi All
we will create an apropriation request with an initial budget and we will approve one of the different variants of the appropriation request....But in our business process we have to add supplements to the current appropriation requests every quarter ....And the supplements also have to go through the approval process( It is a requirement).....Can any one help me telling the different solutions. Pleaseeeee

Hi Ravi,
I saw your post and scenario 2 that you mentioned in your reply to Steve, is the scenario I am faced with. I would really like your input...
I want to be able to create a budget supplement using AR process and workflow, but instead of replacing the approver AR with WBS(measure) I want to allocate the approved funds to an existing WBS as supplement...
then do rollup and budget distribution...
can you please advice me?
thank you
