Steps for implementing PM Order Cost and allocation Report

Hi experts,
I would like some of the experts to suggest prior steps involved in implementing PM Order Cost and allocation Report?
Is there any specific PM documentatio other then help.sap.com documentation?
Thank you
arun

Hi,
the CO-Sources (and PM is similar there) deliver plan and actual costs in different rows separated with the characteristics 0VTYPE and 0VERSION (this one separating different versions of plan data) in your case you will get in your transactional data:
ServiceOrder   0VTYPE    SWG (i leave the rest of the keys and attributes out)
SO1000          20             15.000    for your plan date
SO1000          10             10.000    that are your actual data
so what wil happen if 0VTYPE is not a Key in your DSO is that first the plan record is updated in DSO and then the second actual record overwrites this value becaus both have the same key SO1000.
You have to define carefully what keys you use in DSO to avoid this. If you can try create a test-Cube on base of the DataSource fields and look how the data are displayed in there because a cube regards all fields as key's.

Product Costing and Production Planning

Hi,
Is Product Costing absolutely required before implementing Production Planning, specifically PP orders? My client does not want to plan costs or need any cost estimates. They want to use a PP order to check availability for a BOM, and then issue it out to an external vendor for services. After this material is processed by the external vendor, he would ship it back and we would be doing a goods receipt at the parent level of the BOM. The whole purpose of this is to get the accurate price of the BOM parent which would include all service costs. This parent would finally be sold via the regular SD sales order process. Our Logisitics consultant suggested that the only way this could be accomplished is a PP order. All this looks okay, but he also mentioned that a PP order cannot work without Product Costing and the process cant be accomplished CO-PC. I am unable to grasp why SAP would force us to have costing when the client doesnt need any cost estimates, planning etc. Could any one please tell me if we need CO-PC for this scenario?

Dear SAPFicon,
Technically, to run PP without using product cost planning would cause a lot of problems during business process of production order. Because, once a production order is created then the data structured is freezed in the PO and if there is any missing data it will cause errors. Any errors in production order would stop the following transactions. We never know what would be the error level of the production order. The worst case, the production or should be cancel and start it all over again.
But by using product costing or product cost planning, this is a preliminary step to prevent and eliminate any error of the products tobe produced.
So, ideally, there is one person in charge to ensure that the products which be produced in the production orders are free of error.
So, the product costing is an integrated module that take data from variouse module such as PP, MM, CO, HR.
The product costing use the Logistic master data such as folllowing;
1. Bill of material
2. Routing
3. Work center
4. Material master
How you can say, that running PP without PC will run, while the to run the smooth production order, you need to mandatory parameter in Material Master that belong to Costing area.
Without having product costing, I can assure that your client will trap in a lot of troubles with their business process.
Please see the online documentation for product costing for a better overview or you are welcome to ask again

Where to start with BW Training
There are two logical entry points to the SAP BI curriculum. The first is BW305-BW Reporting. The other is BW310-BW Data Warehousing. Depending on your focus and responsibilities, you would pick the one of most interest.
BW305 is the starting point for all the reporting functions of BW. It includes both web-based and BEx Analyzer-based (MS Excel) reporting techniques.
BW310 teaches the student how a data warehouse is put together and populated. Students learn to create various objects for the extraction and storage of data from both R/3 source systems and from flat files.
After those courses, the rest of the curriculum is specific to the role one has on the project. You can get a picture of the whole curriculum path at:

Dashboard content is not populated with Planned Cost and Actual Cost

Hi
We are working in cProjects 4.0 + ECC 6.0 implementation. I could not get the data for columns in Planned Cost and Actual Cost in cProjects Project Dashboard. I have properly mapped the config settings and created and assigned a Project in PS
Has anybody got this data in the Dashboard?
Kindly suggest the solution
with regards,
K Rama Krishna

Hi Rama,
It is difficult to say, where the problem is.
but typically, the causes of the problem are
customizing is set incorrectly or the evaluation is not carried out.
You can run the the evaluation DPR_EVE_BATCH_DPO additionally, please untick the flag 'check the last changed date'.
Hope, it helps.
Kind regards,

PS and CPROJECTS implementation

We are running SAP since 1998, and already implemented many modules in the R/3 system and other SAP systems as CRM. We would like to implement a solution for project Management for our projects division, Which is a group that manage a big projects that involve a lot of logistics (material and Service purchasing) a lot of integration with MM and CO and involve a lot of contracting companies that should be managed. Currently they are doing the GANT in MS-Project with no link to R/3 and mange all material demand in R/3.
I would like to know if we should try to implement full project management in PS or to move forward to the direction of cProjects linked to our R/3 system.
We afraid that since the cProjects is out of the R/3 there will be integration problems we also not sure if the tool was originally designed for heavy scale projects with a lot of logistics.
What would you recommend?
Are there any reference sites with a similar profile to us that have implemented a solution based on cProjects?

Its would be good if u implement PS first and then slowly move to c-projects. This would be good in your case as u have already implemented others modules.
The reasons why i'm supporting the implementation of PS is:
1)c-projects is generally used for new product development and program management(managing large scale small projects under a single program.
2)The account integartion for c-projects is again depends on either internal order/WBS element (CO/PS) which are to be created in R/3
3)U can assign only resource cost(overhead) to c-projects all other cost are to maintain the internal order/WBS Element and shown in c-project.
4)All the funcionalities of c-projects are possible in PS.
5) For heavy scale projects with lot of logistics and accounting its suggested to have PS.
But if u want to use the unique functionalities of c-projects such as FMEA, control plans etc. which are very important for automobile industry (R&D), its better to go for c-projects
All the best
enjoy SAP PS

PGPs - Costs and Deadlines

Hello,
throughout various RTSJ publications is said, that ProcessingGroups implement a Server with a certain capacity, period and deadline.
Various Servers are presented for handling aperiodic load, or for encapsulation of application/component-threads providing a kind of application/component-budged.
Unfortunatelly using the current Version of SUNs Java RTS, I was not able to produce any cost overrun, nor a deadline miss for a group of some RealtimeThreads.
Is there any form of cost/time monitoring for ProcessingGroups, or are they simply a hint for feasibility analysis and cost enforcment? I have expected at least a deadline miss handler invocation, but nothing happened.
I am afraid I don't understand clearly the use case for PGPs, since Processing Groups neither have a kind of wFNP() nor is it clear for me on what a "deadline miss" of a group depends?
I woul be very glad aboud a short explaination, or a hint that makes me understand that stuff.
Thanks in advance,
Vladimir

Dear David Holmes,
thank you for your reply on my question.
Well, I have already read most of Prof Andy Wellings papers about Servers and Scheduling in RTSJ, as also his book about real-time programming in Java and the book of Peter Dibble.
When mentioned therein, PGPs in RTSJ are mostly treated in a theoretical way, explaining similarly to you they role as sporadic servers in the real-time Java platform.
My problem in understanding the manner of the ProcessingGroupParameters is a more practical one.
If I would like to implement a server for whatever kind of load (aperiodic, sporadic or even periodic tasks), on which amount could I rely on already supported mechanisms by the JVM?
When PGPs contain a cost value, then it is up to me to implement monitoring mechanisms for the contained threads executions and to substract their consumed CPU time from the Server (Processing Group) cost.
E.g. cost monitoring and enforcment for Processing Groups is optional, as it is also for real-time threads.
Real-Time threads have at least a release time, probably a period and a deadline. Their execution is mandated by the PriorityScheduler with the help of the cyclic driver.
Although PGPs also provide the same values as threads, they are not "released" in this sense, and their deadlines are not monitored.
Ordering of thread releases within a group in relation to its "release time" and period, as also the monitoring of their deadlines in relation to the groups overall deadline seems to depend on application logic itself.
This brings me in confusion with the purpose of this class (PGP) since everithing one would need from it must be self-implemented.
Or better: when using a RT-JVM which does not support cost monitoring and enforcement, what is the chance for me to implement a kind of Server using the PGPs, since they are intended for that ?
Sorry for my doubting comments on that, I know that costs and feasibility are optional in RTSJ in order to gain a greater acceptance by JVM vendors,
which otherwise would have to stick with complex implementations of cost monitoring and feasibility algorithms for their JVMs.
I have a common scenario of some applications of different criticality, and processing groups would seem to be the right thing for their scheduling an degradation.
E.g. if an application has consumed up its Server capacity, its threads shall be degraded on a background priority and replenished again on next Server release.
By the way, this is very common scenario which is very often applied in the papers of Prof. Wellings and in which PGPs are heavily involved.
Unfortunatelly, it seems to me impossible to realise it with the current stage of Java RTS, unless I implement a kind of cost monitoring and enforcement.
Here, the only thing I can rely on are the release times, periods and deadlines of real-time threads.
Sincerely,
Vladimir

PL/SQL and Java implementation

Hi all,
We need to implement a fast solution for reporting to our existing web application. Application is totally based on stored procedures written in PL/SQL.
We have already java classes for drawing different types of charts
named Chartdirector (http://www.advsofteng.com/)
This library can create chart images in memory.
I have already read about calling java classes from PL/SQL and SQLJ too.
My questions are;
1. Is this safe to include classes to database and create
reports by using loadjava in real life. I mean not in theory, in real life?
2. Is there any experiments of the audience about this method?
3. Would it be any performance problems about this?
4. Should i prefer to use any Java container and jsps instead of this method?
I will continue to research for necessary steps after i could see the light :)
Thank you to all,
Regards,
Gokhan

> 1. Is this safe to include classes to database and create
reports by using loadjava in real life. I mean not in theory, in real life?
Yes.
> 2. Is there any experiments of the audience about this method?
Experiments and actual implementation - yes. It works. Granted, it does not always work as easy as running the Java code from the command line. But it does work.
> 3. Would it be any performance problems about this?
This is a potential problem with any software code.
4. Should i prefer to use any Java container and jsps instead of this method?
To be honest, I prefer not using Java for web graphics as I'm not impressed with the quality and flexibility of the graphs generated. I prefer using (and paying for commercial use) for the JPGraph classes for PHP - and using that from PL/SQL (via Zend Core for Oracle).
Another option is to use SVG and generated SVG directly from PL/SQL. But this requires a browser plugin and SVG also does not look that great. (this is btw what Oracle's HTMLDB does and uses)

Report on Cost And Utilization in PM Module

Hi Experts,
I want some help in generating a report called Cost And Utilization in PM Module.
Any body can help me with some documents or if any body created same kind of report in Pm just do provide me some details on how create the report.
The requirement of this report is as follows,
This Report is generated from the service order or the notification which ever is latest on the equipment in the date range given by the user.
In Report I want to calculate the field Estimated Hours.The main problem we are having here is the Hour Meter infobject is of Type characteristic it is not key figure.
Based on the User input Date range the Estimated Hours calculation needs to be done.The Estimated Hours are calculated from Estimated Hours Begin and Estimated Hours End.
For calculating the Begin and End Hours we need to have some fields.The fields required for calculating the Begin and End are,
Initial Hour Meter,Adjusted Hour Meter,Fleet Management Date these three fields are picked from the Equipment Master data for a particular Equipment and the Hour Meter Reading is the latest Meter Reading of the equipment it is populated from the Service Order or Notification which ever is latest in the date ange given by user.
There are some conditions in calculating the Hour Meter Reading Begin and End.
If the Fleet Management Date (Start-up Date on EM) started before the input date Date Range (From-Date), calculate the average usage (in hours) based on the initial hours and
If the Fleet Management Date started after the From-Date, use the Hour Meter (EM) as the Estimated Hours Begin.
If the last PMN (or SO) fell short of the Date Range (To-Date), obtain the Estimated Hours End by applying the average usage to fill the time-gap.
If the last PMN (or SO) fell after the Date Range (To-Date), get the Estimated Hours End by getting the next to last PMN performed inside the window parameter,
Adjusted Hours, if not zero or null, needs to be added to the Ending Hours to achieve the real number.
The example for calculating the above requirement is below,
User Input Date Range: Jan. 1, 2006 - Dec. 31, 2006
Initial Hour (Equipment Master): 10
Adjusted Hours (Equipment Master): 0
Fleet Management Date (Equipment Master): Dec. 1, 2005
1st PM Notification (Feb. 1, 2006): 410
Last PM Notification (Feb. 1, 2007): 2810
Second to last PMN (Dec. 1, 2006): 2410
     Equipment was put into service (12/1/05) before the Date Range, needs to find the Estimated Hours Begin.
     The first PM was performed (2/1/06) exactly two months from in-service date (12/1/05).
     Average monthly usuage from first PMN = (410 - 10) / 2 = 200
     Estimated Hours Begin = 200 + 10 = 210 (estimated Hour Meter Reading on Jan. 1, 2006)
     Average monthly usuage from the last 2 PMN = (2810 - 2410) / 2 months = 200
     Estimated Hours End = 2410 + 200 + 0 (adjusted hours) = 2610 (estimated Hour Meter Reading on Dec. 31, 2006)
     Estimated Hours Total = 2610 - 210 = 2400
If you have any queries regarding the requirement just let me know i will let you know.
Thanks in advance
Bobby

Mahee,
We have maintained all personnel no of the employess working under a particular Maint.Work center in HRMS tab. Employee master data for all Infotypes are maintained in Personnel Management in HR module. So wen the Employee enters Time details of his working hours per day, he has to mention the maintenance order Or it is like a standing order on the time sheet per line item. Wen transfer of working hours will be done on a particular order the entire cost will be reflected in Cost tab page. Since me have maintained different Activity type/Activity price per employee I am confused about the flow of cost...
Ur suggestions were valuable.... hope to get some more clearity...

Data Source to upload plan data for CO_OM_CCA_: CC: Costs and Allocations

Hi Guru's,
We have Data source that which upload Actual data for CCA (0CO_OM_CCA_1 - Cost Centers:cost and allocations). Every time it is full upload before loading the data deletion of previous load request will be done.
One more information required that i have checked in the BW cube for plan data it is available in the info cube for one cost center and rest of the costcenter i don't have the data now the users are requesting to upload the plan data for rest of cost centers.
Now as per the business requirement the users are requesting to upload the plan data in to the same i am not sure whether it will pull the plan data with actuals in to BW cube. Is there any alternate with the same data source or else is there any specific data source for uploading Costs and Allocations plan data
Please suggest me how can i go a head with this requirement.

You can use the same datasource to load plan/budget data to the cube for all the costcenters. And regarding the actuals, you can use 0CO_OM_CCA_9 datasource to load to actuals cube and create a multi on top of both plan and actuals cube for reporting purposes.

Engineer to Order Scenario-Target Costs and Stock Valuation

I have got a query pertaining to Engineer to Order Scenario. A production order has been created with WBS element as the account assignment .Its a valuated project stock scenario, with configurable material. As per SAP standard behaviour and my limited knowledge, the Goods Receipt for FERT/HALB happens according to either of the four strategies:
     Standard Price ( if there exists one)
     Customer Exit COPCP002
     Sales Order Cost Estimate
     Preliminary Order Cost Estimate for prod order
However ,I have come across a case where although a preliminary order cost estimate exists for the production order, the system is not able to determine target costs. As a result the entire variance is posted as remaining variance at the time doing a variance calculation on the production order. Moreover at the time of Goods Receipt for FERT material,the system passses an entry Price diff A/c -Debit to Cost of Production, instead of debiting Inventory and crediting cost of production(Price Control is S, no standard price exists for the material)
Thus my query is :
1) In case of Engineer to Order Valuated Stock Scenario where prod order is created with reference to WBS element, how is the standard price (or target costs for version 0) determined
2) Under what situation at the time of goods receipt ,will an entry " Price diff A/c Dr & cost of production-Credit will be posted, instead of Inventory A/c being debited?
Awaiting a reply

Hi Amit
the easy answer first: The standard price is just taken out of the material segment without WBS assignment. That means if you maintain a standard price in the accounting view of the material master for the material number + plant that will be the fallback to be used. That will at least reuslt in a inventory posting, instead of pure price differences (against a price of zero)
Why your production order cost estimate could not be derived I cannot say. But he first startegy will be to search for the cost estimate to the WBS. Is there not something in the project system to perform a project costing and save it? in that case that will be searched and used for the order target cost and inventory posting.
best regards,

PM Order, cost and key figures

I have created and configured a new PM planning plant, cost center, work center, pm types and all that usual of PM requirement, but still I think something is missing in in the ingredient because when I try to creat a PM order and assign a bunch of operations with man hours to it, I discovered that there is NO cost and key figures showing...basically the estimated cost show $0.00. In other Plant it shows correct est cost.
Any help will greatly appreciate with rewarding points.
Thanks,
Tim

COst in order operations will get summarised under cost tab as labour/internal cost provided-
1.Activity rate is maintained for activity via KP26 for cost centre
2.Cost center is entered into work centre master data.
3.Value category maintained correctly for cost element group where cost elemnt for internal cost is within this group.
In your case it seems missing link is activity rate maintenace.
Thanks

VPRS cost and batch management

Hi Gurus,
Is there any link between the cost and batch management? Currently users has posted a billing document and the cost is 0. The VPRS value in the SO is correctly but it is not brought to the billing document.
We have tested and it seems that this is because the batch management checkbox is not checked in material master, so the VPRS is not generated in billing.
Please advise. Thanks.
Regards,
FY

Hi Javier,
what do you do with the VPRS in your calculation- system ?
If you need i, you delete the requirement 004 in your calculation -system.
on the other hand, you can change TANN to komp-evrwr (price determination on the item category) is 'X'. Then you have to add an 100% rabate for TANN and the resukt will be free good.

Settlement of Project Cost and revenue to GL

I am trying to Settle the project Cost and Revenue to GL account. For the same I have defined settlement profile maintaining GL as optional receiver and then I have maintained Source structure for cost and revenue as to separate them at the time of defining settlement rule, defined Allocation structure where in receiver against source, I have assigned GL as by cost element receiver. After that I have maintained settlement rule for WBS element, but when I am running a settlement is done to either of the GL for cost or Revenue which ever is defined first in settlement rule. It is not creating any settlement for second line item of the settlement rule and system is not giving any error message as well.
Where as if I am trying individually only for cost or revenue , settlement is completed with all the values but with any accounting document generated, but if I see the entries to that GL, a settlement entry is created for that transaction.
Can anyone please help in solving this issue ASAP.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
    If it is posting to the first line means....
Follow the steps below:
First try to create a project and post the actuals and revenues.
Go to cost element report pick up those cost elements both for costs and revenues.
Go to Soruce Structure in the config, define the structure with name for Ex: 'Z1' and define two assignments, one is Costs and other Revenue, by selecting the costs go to Source mention the cost element where the actual costs are posted on (Mention only that cost element no other cost elements), next select the Revenue assignment and click on Source and mention the only cost element where the revenue wsa posted (Mention only that revenue cost element no other cost elements) and save the transaction.
Come back to project builder, select the wbs and click on settlement rule, in the menu goto-->settlement parameters and check whether the source and settlement profiles are correct or not, incase source structure is not available mention the same.
come back to settlement Rule overview and fill the fields as mentioned below:
1st line:   Category: GL
              GL Account: GL Account Number
              Source Structure: COSTS
2nd Line: Category: GL
              GL Account: GL Account Number (Revenue Account)
              Source Structure: REVENUE.
Now Run the Settlement for the specific period costs posted, the costs will be posted seperately to the two different GL Accounts.
I think this will resolve your problem.

Service Order Planned Costs and Cost Center Planned Line Items

Experts,
I am curious of Service Order Planned costs, and whether or not these planned costs are being posted to the Cost Center linked to the Service Order Operation's work center.
I am a but puzzled as I don't see any planned costs from any Service Order Operation in a cost center linked to the Operations work center, when reviewing "Cost Centers: Plan Line Items" report.
BR,
Cenk

The planned costs were input in one of the Service Order operations as planned hours. There is a column for it in the operations list. The amount of hours have incurred a planned cost on the Service Order header.
I simply assumed that this cost would be credited to the Cost Center linked to the operation's Work Center. But that is obviously not the case. I am not familiar with the PLICC field and the functionality it provides.
Thanks!
