Cost Planning for vacant positions-

Dear Experts:
Can anyone tell me the best data collection method for Cost Planning for Vacant Positions.
regards,
Srikanth Reddy

Yeah we do:
Scenario is like this:
Assume Business Planning is done at the begining of the Fiscal year.
And Manpower Planning is also done at the same time for the fiscal year.
Now, based on the MPP user would create Vacant Positions in OM.
Periodicity of Cost Planning could be Yearly/ Quarterly/ Monthly.
Whenever i create Vacant Position for Future Periods the system should calculate the Personnel Costs for the Vacant Positions for the same period.
I just wanted to know, which method would be the best if anyone has done this before.
regards,
Srikanth Reddy

Personnel Cost Plannling for Vacant Position, ECC 6

I am implementing Personnel cost planning and simulation ECC 6, based on Payroll results and Projected pay for vacant position only, no issue in payroll results but i am not clear about the projected pay, vacant position based on wage element from IT 1015.
for testing purpose i have created one position and made it vacant through vacancy infotype, then i have created 1015 record for that specific position and not on job. for 1015 i have created one sample wage element and assigned in 1015. I am not using the planned compensation infotype (1005) although if i do then i am able to collect, any way without 1005 i am planning to collect data PHCPDCOO. based on object type position, first issue, i am not sure which collection method should be used, expecting that "Data for Vacant Positions" method should work, that method is not working in my case and wage elements are not comming.
kindly advice
one more concern is while creating wage element through comp management, i could not see any place to assign wage element to cost items or symbolic account but assigned the cost elements while creating, is this enough ?

Hi Muhammad,
Did you get through? I am in the process of researching Personnel Cost Planning.
How did you set up wage elements and assign them to the infotype 1015?
And what would be the next process after that?

Cost planning for a project

Hi Experts,
Can anybody tell is there is any t-code to mass change of the cost planning for a project. If there is a t-code please explain me the procedure how to do it.
Thanks & Regards
Raman T S

You can budegt a project by:
1. Transferring the values in the cost planning as budget.
2. Entering the budget directly into the WBS element.
PS STD cycle of creating Project is as follows:
1. Creating the Project in the Project builder
2. Using the relationships to link the activities
3. Planning the output & duration of activities
4. Sceduling the Project
5. Planning Costs
6. Allocating budget
7. Releasing the Project for execution
Choose Original Budget.
In the Planned total column, you see the values copied from cost planning.
Select the planned total column.
Choose Edit ® Copy view.
Percentage rate-100
Overwrite- Select
In the dialog box, enter the following data:
The system copies the values from cost planning into the budget.
Hope ur prob will be solved

Cost plan for sim version

Hi experts
The business requirement is as follows:
1) Project schedule option-1 with work packages and costing plan ( L1 schedule)
2) Project schedule option-2 with different work packages and relevant costing plan (L2 schedule)
Clien requires both of these as drafts
The requirement can be met by creating sim_ver1 and sim_ver2 in transaction CJV1 (with out having operative version).
Subsequently the approved sim version will be used for creating operative version.
But is it possible to maintain cost plan for sim versions?
If no, please suggest best practice.
warm regards
ramSiva

You can only use network costing for simulation version. Other cost planning methods are not possible for simualtion version. Refer SAP Help

Trying to default a cost plan for PS from a CRM contract?

I am trying to default a cost plan (akin to a budget maintained in IM) onto CJ40.
This cost plan will be defaulted via a CRM table maintained especially for the appropriation/budget.
Has anyone defaulted a cost plan onto CJ40 and if so how?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
The message is because your position has the historical record flag (HRP1000-HISTO) set to u2018Xu2019. From SAP help:
Allows you to mark infotype records as historical records. Historical records are permanently stored on the database, so that you can report on the information at a later point in time.
NOTE: You cannot change records once they are marked as historical. As a result, you should not mark records as historical unless you no longer require them for processing.
Typically, the flag is set if a user has delimited an object through PP01. Youu2019d see the historical flag in the window that pops up.
To remove the flag, execute report RHHISTO0, enter the relevant details in the selection and execute. The next screen ill show you which record has the flag set. Select that row and click u201Cremove historical recordu201D button on top. You should then be able to remove cost center from the position.
Hope this helps.

Version 0 and do the budgeting Because you actual will happen to 0 only so, to compare your plan should be there idealy.
Apart from that network cost planning can only be done in 0 version. And system give you option of copying the your preliminary plannning to version 0.

Finding Cost Center for Position

Dear Gurus,
Wish you happy new year.
I had assigned Cost Center for a position for infotype 1018. So it should store in HRP1018. Am unable to find the filed in HRP1018. Where can I find that Cost center in table so that I can make a report based on that. I searched in HRP1001 also. It is not there in HRP1001.
Please help me where can i find the cost center for a position.
Thanks,
Ravi

The Funding Approver is responsible for updating and maintaining Infotype 1018 (Cost Distribution infotype) and Infotype 9018 (Budget infotype). The Funding Approver is responsible for approving funds for positions.
The cost distribution record of a Position is held on Infotype 1018, and the budget information is held on Infotype 9018 (not available in this display).

How to add "Cost Plan Version" and "Planned Cost" into CNE5 report?

Hi,
I would like to display Cost Plan Version(VERSN) and Planned Cost in the CNE5 report.
How to retrieve Planned Cost that based on the Cost Plan Version ?
Appreciate helps. Thanks.
Regards,
See Mun

Plan versions: A plan version is created in accounting and stores different cost plans for a project, such as an "optimistic" and a "pessimistic" plan.
Now coming to plan version 0 is verson where actaul cost is updated in your organisation.
Plan version 1 is used for the planning...
How to see the same in CJE5 is suggested by Virendra..
However there is no filed name planned cost in report but the name of the filed is Proj.cost sched.000
with which you can achieve your result.
path is run txn CJE5>give your Project no.> F8> in new screen> F5-->in new Window scroll down in the right side for the Proj.cost sched.000 filed > with select take the same to left side>Enter--> values will displyed for this field in your report.
similarly you can use the other fields as well... take help of F4, to know the meaning of fileds.

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.

Product Cost Planning

We are embarking on production planning & I need to know best course for financials/product costing. Would the AC505 Product Cost Planning Course be suitable for a business who is about to embark on production planning . We are in manufacturing, and we will be using lots of components (BOMs) and process orders etc.

Hello Higgins:
There are 3 product costing courses:
AC505 - focus on product cost planning. for example, from BOM, routing to estimated / simulated cost.
AC520 - focus on ACTUAL cost scenario ,for example , make-to-stock , make -to order, sales, service, periodic
AC530 - focus on special module Material Ledger , for industries to get the actual cost (more precise)
so I understand that you start on Planning, so AC505 is the right course.
But I recommend to attend AC520 as well to understand the actual cost flow . so you can compare plan and actual together.
and if you like the most accurate cost , and implement ML (material ledger) - AC530 is another one.
Hope this help.

Is it Possible to do easy cost planning in network and acitivity level

Hi,
Is it possible to do easy cost planning in network and acitivity level
Rgds
Purna.M

Dear Sanjeev,
ECP not possible at Network or activities but it is not like that as you saying " any of cost planning not possible at activity level as per sap standard."
It is possible to do Network Cost Planning, for that you have to make the settings required for to determining the plan costs in networks.
In networks/activities the plan costs are:
Calculated automatically on the basis of the defined price and quantity structures
Planned using unit costings for general costs activities or material components
for this make the setting in config of PS node Project System -> Cost -> Planned Costs -> Automatic Costing in Networks/Activities.

Element wise Cost planning

Dear all,
i need to arrive planning cost at component level, lets put like this, i created a WBS under, one external service under, one BOM. I am exploding the BOM component in Project & i am getting the total planned cost for the BOM along with the component, but i need at component level Plan cost. Is it possible to arrive plan cost for the component in BOM ?
Looking for the further co-ordination
Kumar

sorry mukesh ,
I thought you want to do cost planning for perticular component..... ( i unerstood wrongly....)
i think you want planned cost at component level........
it is not possible... miximum you can get at activity level........
since all componets you are attaching to activities.....
one thing you can get cost by cost elements.... in cost element report.... wher you can find cost by cost elements like .... RM .... Finished good, semu finished ( depend on valuation class in mterial master....)
