Easy Cost Planning at Network Level

Hi All,
I was able to implement ECP at WBS level, but not able to implement at network level. I am using SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4.
I have activated the business function ops_ps_ci_1 and also activated the 'Activate Planning for Network Activities with Easy Cost Planning' in the configuration settings in SPRO-IMG. I had gone through most of the threads on this topic like :
Network Activity Easy Cost planning
ECP at activity level not triggered
I am not able to find the option for 'Create Alternate CO Version' and 'Activate Multiple CO Version' under the Easy Cost Planning and Execution Services in SPRO-IMG.Please advise me in implementing Easy Cost Planning at Network Level and correct me if I was wrong in completing the configuration steps.

Thanku All,
I have done all the steps as you mentioned
1. Activated the business function OPS_PS_CI_1.
3
2.
3.
Activated Multiple Plan Version using the tcode RCNPRECP
Still not able to view the options under SPRO-IMG Easy Cost Planning
* Create Alternate CO Version
* Activate Multiple CO Version
Also not able to implement ECP at network level.

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.

Cost Planning for networks in a CO plan version other than 0

Hi,
We have a specific requirement of getting the planned cost in terms of $ and hours on a network activity getting posted to some other CO version other than 0 in certain cases.
It would be great if anyone could suggest a FM or a BAPI to achieve this end?
Please reply if you need any clarification on the requirement
Regards,
Jibat

In Cj30 you will get the CO version '000 , If you want to your can copy cost planning values of your version V01 & V02 to
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.
Virendra - Thanks for the explanation. It made my understanding better as well.

Planning network activities

Hi all,
I have a question related to project planning.
I would like to plan the network activities per cost element and per period (year/month) as this is a customer requirement . However, in the end i would have a lot of cost elements per wbs elements which i think it would not be user friendly. How could i manage this in a easier way? Moreover, some of these activities have several delivery dates which i think it complicates the project planning (even in several years)
Moreover, as far as i know, it is not possible to copy the activities real values to a plan version. How can i manage this using the sap standard functions?
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Hi,
Different WBS can have different Responsible Cost centres and Required cost centre. However we can define the network cost centre depending upon the type of activity we are doing. The settlement of the root WBS will clubbed all the cost from different activity -- > Different Network --> Different Levels WBS to the root WBS.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Uddhab

ECP on Network Activities

Hello PS Experts,
We are on ECC6 Enhancement Pack 4 client.
The issue is that the Network Activities do not appear on the Easy Cost Planning screen for planning.
I can only see the WBS element structure, similar to the old functionality.
(To my understanding this new functionality is available since ECC6 EhP 3).
I believe, the only configuration required for this is as below and is done.
Project System >Costs>Planned Costs> Easy Cost Planning and Execution Services >Easy Cost Planning>Activate Planning for Network Activities with Easy Cost Planning
Any inputs on why it is not working ?
Thanks in advance.
Bhushan

It is working now.
Multi-CO Version needs to be activicated for the respective CO area and in the 'Edit Costing' window, that pops-up, one should click on the 'Edit' button before the first time save.

Easy Cost Planning version 0 cannot be used in DP81

Dear SAP Expert,
Please advice.
We have requirement to do sales pricing in DP81 with project and inquiry.
Some steps that we are doing :
1. Create Inquiry : VA11
2. Create Project : CJ20n
3. Create cost planning with network activity in CJ20n and use Planning cost version 1. ( We are trying to use more than 1 version, not only version 0)
4. Run DP81. It shows error message no expenditure.
In the config ODP1 ( DIP Profile) , version has been activated.
Is there any solution to use ECP with version more than version 0?
Appreciate for the advice.
Thank you.
Nies

Hi Sanjeev,
Sales Pricing (DP81) can read ECP with standard version 0. The issue is that DP81 cannot read version other then 0.
I need to do planning cost using version other than version 0 ( Actual/Planning version)
Thank you for your advice.

Easy cost Planning & Network Costing

Dear All
In one Project can we use both Easy cost Planning & Network Costing. Easy cost planning is generally used when you have structure with WBS only. Network cost planning is a combination of group of activities, all these having their relevant cost elements/ work center combination. can we manage both this in one project. If it possible please explain in detail.
Regards
Nivrutti

What is your business requirement ? It depends on that. Yes your understanding is quite correct. We use easy cost planning in the initial phase of project. Easy cost planning can be done in various versions including 0 plan / actaul version. If you does easy cost planning in 0 along with network costin you will double up lannning cost.
Network costing can only be done in plan / actual version 0 only.
Best approach is to use easy cost plnnaing as rough cut level apart from 0 version. And use network costing. However it may very a/c to business requirement.

Network material cost planning price entry without using moving average

Hi,
When adding the stock material (internal activity) to a network activity the system takes the moving average price of the material.
How can we enter the material AND the price for cost planning?
Note: The reason is that the material being procured may cost more than the moving average price on the system. When a user gets a quote for the material they'd like to enter the quoted buying price instead of the system taking the moving average.
Thanks
Kru

Hi,
Normally System allow to Edit Material - Price/Currency field in network planning instead of moving average price.
Please check it may greyed out for edit.

Uploading the Cost to Network - Activities in Cut over

Hi All,
As a part of Cut over activities, Is that possible to upload actual cost to Network - activities in Producion environment?
As a best practice, till now in my projects, I have uploaded the Intial cost to WBS only.
Regards
Prabu K

Hi Abdul,
While using KAFD, we can post legacy or historical actual cost.
The most important this is that, define one WBS element in your project structure and name it as Historical WBS element which will receive all your legacy costs. By doing so, we are posting all our legacy costs to One WBS element only.
Here what you have to do is difine the Historical cost elements which are used only for these migrated projects and not for regular opeative structures.
Input the current period - current period always be in which period project is being migrated.
then input the Year - in our case we have not defined multiple years but as a lumpsum amount in current year (the year project is migrated) that will stay as historical cost. You will not see any break up of historical costs in SAP but you can see break up of actual coss in legacy system.
Hope this clarifies and let me know if you need any further inputs.

How to charge the direct FI cost to network activities?

Hi,
I was trying to use FB50 to charge the FI cost to the network. In the entry screen, there is a column called "network". But my account assignment element is actually at the activity level and I cannot find a column called "Network activity". So how can I input the network activity in that screen?
Thanks,
Ting

Dear Ting,
You can do direct FI postings to Network & Activity by using FB50 Transaction.
When you enter FB50
First enter Network No.
Then you will find "Transaction No." column there you can enter Activity No. where you have to post actual cost.
"Transaction No." column you can see in between "Grant" & "Quantity" column.

Sandeep

Easy Cost Planning (SAP) in Tender Process

Hi All,
I am using SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4. I wanted to know if Easy Cost Planning in SAP PS can be used to cost a project initially while Tendering process.Or is there any other tcodes in SAP for tender process? I created Costing Models for most of the possible processes in a civil project and included the labour cost,equipment cost and material cost in it.By this way can we proceed implementing SAP in our tendering department.Looking forward for your valuable replies.

Hi ,
SAP has easycost planning objects available to cater to it. Process starts with inquiry.
1) Create inquiry for customer request. Define service material in material field in VA11
2) Create Project copying closest executed in part ( you have said 70% is engineered fresh, then project is 30 % correct at the time of copying)
3) Amend project to add/chnage/delete components & network activities. Add miilestone payment you wish to propose in quotation.
5) Add project no in inquiry (Accoutn assignment in Line item )
4) Use DP81 traxn to create quotation.Easy-cost planning need to be configured to calculate price( Cost+ mark up scenario possible) There are possibilites to pull as many deatils as you wish in quotation ( As line items) from project structure. It is possible to list major assemblies that will be delivered to customer( Make- To - Order variations). It is also possible to replace Service item used in inquiry with 'Material masters' of FERT & itemization in Quotation. Milestone dates from project will be copied you can propose % billing arrangement at each date to customer.
5) Able to revise quotation seamlessly & resond to customer changes/addtioal request. Revised quotation reflects your ability understand customer request & changes are seamlessly reflected in qty, total price & dates.
6) Upon confirmation of Sale, Sales order can be created copying quotation. All hard work/ iteration of commnucation with customer , need not be defined in system again. Order Acknowledgement will reflect agreements with customer.
SAP E C & O best practice has few more addtion for Civil project ... how to measure % completion based on Mortar used & daily output of cement mixing. That will help,
