CProjects Internal Order, Tasks in CATS

I am working on cProjects 4.0
I want tasks (and project) to appear in CATS against which assigned resources would capture effort.
Do I have to have the Controlling Method as "Internal Order (Structure Element, Manual)" to have the project and tasks appearing in CATS?
In case I have the Controlling Method as "Internal Order (Project Definition, Automatic)", don't I get to see the tasks and Project definition in CATS?
My requirement is that the project definition and tasks assigned to a resource in cProjects 4.0 should appear in CATS. By doing the later, my fear is that only the internal order (created/triggered from cProjects) would appear in CATS.
Please suggest.

Hi Bittu,
I am not 100 percent get what you mean. The note suggested by Subramanian  should give you about the technical settings to configure the CATS.
From my point of view, it does not matter, which controlling method are used. Certainly you have to check, the settings for the confirmation object, to the task or to the role. The user may get empty work list in CATS due to incorrect settings, but I think internal order will never be showed x in the CAT2 transaction only, there must be a the object of cProject (role or task) as well.
Please take a look my other post regarding parameter settings for CATS profile as well.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

  • Settlement Rule for Internal Order

    Hi All
    I have Maintained Settlement rule for Internal order as under
    CAT - FXA
    Settlement Receiver - Asset
    % - 100
    Settlement type - Full
    Now after settlement of above Order in KO88 . I want again use above internal order. Hence i have trying to put Settlement rule 50% for some anther asset but system gave me following error. Please guide on this issue.
    Total = 50.00%, ( Set.Type PER / Version / Actual settlement ), period 010/2011
    Message no. KD042
    Diagnosis
    You have entered distribution rules which settle 50.00% in total. This applies for settlement view ( Set.Type PER / Version / Actual settlement ) in period 010/2011.
    When checking the percentage total, the system found one of the following errors:
    The total percentage for the distribution rules is more than 100%
    The total percentage for the distribution rules is less than 100% and this is a rule for full settlement.
    The total percentage for the distribution rules is less than 100% and the 100% check is switched on in the settlement profile.

    Hi:
            Please refer to the contents of OSS Note 45612 - IM: pre-settlement does not work, or KD042... which states
    "Symptom
        1. If a preliminary settlement rule (for example, to cost center) is entered for individual items of capital investment measures with line item management, this rule is not considered during periodic settlement. There is no settlement to cost centers.
        2. If you enter a final settlement rule for individual line items of investment measures with line item management for a partial capitalization (that is, the percentage rate is less than 100%), then you receive the unjustified error message KD042 "Total percent = xx%".
    Additional key words
    KOB5, CJ70, CJ88, CJ8G, KO88, KO8G, preliminary settlement, partial settlement, partial capitalization
    Cause and prerequisites
        1. You did not enter the settlement type ACT in the preliminary settlement rule.
        You can check this in the Line Item Apportionment transaction by choosing the menu option "Goto" -> "Overview dist. rules" to display the distribution rule groups entered so far.
        The system displays rules which have no entry in the "SetTyp" field (settlement type, field name PERBZ).
        2. The check of the percentages is incorrect.
    Solution
        1. Install the following correction. Afterwards reverse the incorrect settlement, re-enter the preliminary settlement rule and settle again.
        2. Install the following correction. Afterwards, you can maintain the settlement rule for the partial settlement.
        Note: If you want to use a default settlement rule (maintaining the settlement rule from the master data maintenance transaction), then you are required to distribute the line items at 100%. In order to carry out a partial capitalization (settlement of less than 100%), you have to use menu path "Actual postings -> Period-end closing -> Settlement -> Line item "

  • CATS billing thru PS | internal Order, WBS, Activity Type

    Hi,
    I am a HCM consultant, therefore I have zero knowledge in PS/SD.
    Currently I am working on a task, where I need to create the bill on the CATS data (Time Sheet Data: HCM). I want to know how the CATS data is transferred to WBS, and how the billing of the same is done in PS the WBS element and Activity Type. I ll be transfering the time data to Internal Order (I dont know how to assign these internal orders to WBS elements) and in Activity type I ll be storing the rates of the activities/tasks. Now on the basis of these Internal type, WBS and Activity type, How can I generate a bill in PS? (We are inactivate in SD module).
    A more clear explanation would be better as said, am new to PS..
    regards
    Tahir

    HI Tahir,
    wbs and internal order is the object where we can book time via time sheet so clear here when you are booking time in CAT2 transaction then time sheet ask it's receiver object that would be either wbs nor I/O. once you have done this activity, then need to transfer it to object area like PS CS CO HR PayRoll
    such transaction path is below in CATS
    CAT2
    Time Sheet: Maintain Times
    CAT2_ISCR
    CATS: Maintain Times (Init. Screen)
    CAT3
    Time Sheet: Display Times
    CAT3_ISCR

  • CATS and internal orders

    we are trying to use Co internal orders to collect costs based on the input in cats.
    Does any one have a detailed document to accomplish that.
    Also what modifications need to be done to the cat2 screen to update the internal order
    Thank you

    I don't think you need to make any thing specific. But you make few general settings in the data entry profile for using CAT2 - Time sheet entry. Check the SPRO nodes mentioned below:
    In below node you mention general settings,Time settings, worklists etc.,
    Cross-Application Components>Time Sheet>Specific Settings for CATS regular>CATS regular>Record Working Time>Set Up Data Entry Profiles
    Use T code CAC2 you make the Field selection settings like what fields should appear in CAT2 screen and if any field entry is to be made mandatory before you save the entries.

  • Internal Order not being created in cProjects-Accounting Integration

    Dear All,
    We are working on cProjects 4.0 with ECC 6.0,
    Trying to do Accounting Integration.
    For only one Project I am able to create Internal Order,
    But I am getting following error.
    “Cost/revenue rate YP002 is not valid in organization 00000000   “
    Inspite of assigning these rates to the organization 00000000
    For other projects, when I click on accounting:
    I get following error
    "Single-Obj.Controlling on InternalOrders 0188993B3E343947A046B554FD886E03 000006000032 does not exist"          
    When I go to Controlling Cockpit, I see this Internal Order not being created.
    Have revisited all settings, project type, etc.
    How do I go about this.
    Kindly help,
    Navendu

    Dear All,
    I was able to solve the one of the problem, with the following settings,
    Assign Cost Elements & Activity Types:
    Choose Organization, Start & End Dates, Cost and Revenue Elements, Currency.
    The start and end date of the cost/ revenue did not fall within the start and end date of the Organization.

  • Link between cProjects and Internal Order

    Hi all,
    i customized well the integration between my cProject 4.5 and CO of R3.
    The assignment of an internal order to a project work well.
    I need to find this link via abap with a bapi or a method.
    Do someone know how it is possible?
    Best regards,
    Luca

    Hello Luca,
    Can you give more details, What link are you talking about?
    If you are talking about Internal order Object Link:
    1. If you have done the cProject - accounting integration well you will find the link in the accounting tab else you should get error messages and resolving them will give you link to the Controlling cockpit.
    2. If you are trying to link existing IO's with existing projects you can achieve that by using "Create Object link" in the "Object Links tab".
    Hope this helps.

  • PLM table for Internal Order budget, Actual Cost and Actual Hrs

    Dear all
    In cProjects version 4.0, we have integration with existing ECC 6.0. We create Internal Order manually and assign it to cProjects.
    One cProject  having one Internal Order.
    Resource Planning part is managed in cProjects while Actual Time keeping(CATS with reference to Internal Order), budgeting of Internal Order, Material and Service Procurement which is done against Internal Order is managed in ECC. ECC and PLM are separate systems.
    We have RFCs established to transfer actual hrs, budget and actual cost data from ECC to PLM.
    Which is the ABAP table in PLM where we get linking of cProject with Internal Order and also actual hrs, budget and actual cost data in PLM system?
    Thanks & Regards
    Ashish

    actual hrs, budget and actual cost data in PLM system?
    Its not there, actual hours can be found in DPR_Task but it needs to be transferred by running a report.
    The planned cost etc is also calculated at runtime and passed on to Costing object in ECC (Int order/PS)
    Actual hours will be in CATSDB in ECC
    needless to say actual cost will also be there in ECC and not in PLM, PLM only displays at runtime based on RFC.
    If you want to try, Break the RFC and try to check the Evaluation..

  • Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure K1 for Internal Order

    Hi,
    During Internal order settlement through KO88 I am getting this error as :
    Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure K1
    Diagnosis :
    During settlement, the system puts the sender debits into groups  (assignments), which are settled using the same settlement cost element. The settlement assignment is made in the allocation structure, which is stored in the settlement rule for the sender (under settlement parameters). Cost element 430500 cannot be assigned to a settlement cost assignment in allocation structure K1, and therefore it cannot be assigned to a  settlement cost element.
    Procedure :
        Possible solutions are as follows:
        o   If the posting under cost element 430500 was made to the sender because of an incorrect entry, and you can reverse the posting, and do not need to update the allocation structure. You only need to reverse the incorrectly assigned posting before repeating the settlement. Exception: For an investment measure with a line item settlement, you need to extend the allocation structure, even after the reversal.
        o   If the posting was made correctly, you can do the following:
    a)  You can assign a different allocation structure to the sender: In the master data maintenance for the sender, choose
        "Settlement rule -> Goto -> Settlement parameters" and then enter a different allocation structure.  If necessary, also check whether the correct allocation structure is entered in the settlement profile. The allocation structure is defaulted  in the settlement profile when you create sender master data or when you maintain the settlement  rule.
    -   You can update allocation structure K1
    The same configuration in  Development Server there is no error but problem occurs in Quality server. Here the process is Internal Order creation - Creation of Reservation through MB21- Goods Issue against reservation  through MB1A and finally settlement through KO88.  During settlement this error occur. In configuration setting of allocation structure under Internal Order I have mentioned only revenue settlement (as per business) against assignments. Under source mentioned cost element group and under settlement cost elment Receiver Cat is "CTR" and tick "By Cost Element".
    During MB1A i.e, goods issue accounting entry is generated as
    81(Dr). 430500 Constimptuion Saprae and Stores
    99(Cr). 310411 Inventory Machinery and Spare.
    During settlement this debit figure should credit. But not allowiing to credit. Even in configuration under settlement cost element if I remove the tick of "By cost element" and mention secondary gl account whose cost element category is 21, still showing the same error in QA server. What may be the probabale solution ? Even if i remove allocation structure K1 from settlement profile 20 still same error exist. How this link gets during settlment inspite of removing allocation structure from settlement profile...
    NB.. COPA is not implemented in our company. So PA structure should not arrise here....
    Thanks & regards,
    Samrat
    Edited by: Samrat Roy on Aug 30, 2010 7:28 PM

    Hi Samrat,
    The issue is very simple.. Cost element 430500  is posted in your IO...
    While settling you have 2 options... Either you can credit the original GL account 430500.. This happens when you tick "By Cost element".. This you have done already...
    2nd option is not to tick "By Cost element" and assign a secondary cost ele category 21...
    But for any of these options to work, you have to include GL 430500 in the "source"... The above 2 options apply only to those GL accounts which are mentioned in the "Source".... for rest of the GL accounts, system gives this error
    Include 430500 in your "source" cost ele group.. Error will be resolved

  • Settlement of PM order over Internal order

    In order to control revenue budget from being over run we have developed Internal orders in controlling with the combination of Cost Centre & GL Code. The internal order are statistical in nature.
    We are facing the following problem:
    1. In PM order (IW31) settlement rule is defined as following:
                      1.1     CAT "Order"
                      1.2     Settlement Receiver "3440-2360010  3440"
                      1.3     Amount 1000
                      1.4     Settlement Type is Full
    2. The problem occurs when there are different internal orders
    3. After we run settlement rule (KO88) it runs successfully.
    4. KSB1 report shows that the amount is split among all the settlement receivers
    5. Whereas requirement is that amount against a particular internal order should be charged to its GL account and cost centre only.

    Dear Sreenivas Kadiam,
    I go to spro-----Plant Maintenance and Customer Service--Maintenance and Service Processing---Basic Settings----
    General Order Settlement------Maintain Allocation Structures.
    The following allocation structures are already defined:
    A1     CO allocation structure
    A2     No split
    PM     PM allocation structure
    PR     PARCO Allocation Structure 
    I could not find the (settlement cost elements setting should be 'BY COST ELEMENT' for receiver category ORD.)
    Please advise

  • INTERNAL ORDER REPORT

    we want to generate a list of Internal Orders  which have not been capitalized.  Is there any std report available for that?  If no, then I will have to get it from some tables?  What logic do I use to get it?

    Hi,
    There is a Standard ABAP report KOK4-Automatic collective processing for Internal orders.  Here, it allows to create a variant with all reporting possibilities. 
    I think in your case, you should create a new variant by giving the settlement receiver category as 'FXA' and type as'FUL' and execute the report.
    But I am for sure that this report will help in doing your task but only thing is you should create the variant by including all the reporting parameters properly.
    Good Luck!!!!!

  • SWL SC only considers partial amount of Internal Order

    Greetings, Experts.
    We are using SRM 4.0 - Classic and use Portal for creating SC.
    We have an Internal Order no. 1111 in the backend with original budget as 1000 GBP and unassigned budget as 700 GBP (1000 less 300 assigned to already created PO's). The Internal order is created for Controlling Area CA01 which has PDR as the currency.
    We create SHOP WITH LIMIT (SWL) SC in USD currency with this internal order as account assignment. Reason of using USD (instead of GBP which is the Internal order currency) is - we want PO in USD because Vendor currency is USD. The resultant PO will have account assignment = F(order) and Item Cat=D (service).
    For simplicity sake assume that 700 GBP = 1200 USD.
    When we specify limit amount as 1200 USD in SWL SC, the system throws error that this amount exceeds the budget. Not only this, say for any amount more than 300 USD, the system keeps on throwing this error and we can not create the SC.
    In essence, we can not use the full unassigned amount to crete SWL SC.
    The system allows to create SC if Limit amount is less than 300 USD.
    We have tested -
    1) If we create SHOP SC (as against SWL), the system allows full unassigned amount of internal order.
    2) If we create stand-alone PO in the backend, the system allows full unassigned amount of internal order.
    Please help in resolving - why the system does not allow full unassigned amount of internal order while creating SWL SC?
    Thanks and regards

  • Entering Inv for PO with ref to Internal Order in FI

    Hi All,
    When a PO is created with Acct Asgmnt Cat "F" (Order) and ref to a FI "Internal Order" number why can't I enter an Invoice against this PO....I get a message in MIRO saying "No suitable items found for the PO"
    What does this mean? How can the vendor be paid if invoice can't be entered?

    hi,
    An internal order is placed by an organizational unit of your company. Since billing is not performed, internal orders only contain free items. You can assign each free item to a cost center that is to be debited.
    You can create an internal order for each of the following order types depending on its purpose:
    Carrier route reserves (or miscounts)
    Planning reserves for subsequent deliveries
    Delivery of free copies to your company's internal organization
    (internal delivery, internal retail to branch)
    Delivery quantity for random distribution
    Free voucher copies
    CHECKS:
    1. Free del . indicator...
    2. GR based IR indicator...
    3. Check whether it is already settled ..see in PO history tab..

  • Internal Order need

    HI Experts,
    As SAP says, both cost centers and internal orders used for tracking cost , where as Internal orders used for tracking costs for short term jobs.
    my question is...
    why do i want to maintain an internal order , i can use separate cost center for those short term jobs...
    what exactly the use and advantage of internal orders rather than maintain a separate cost center.
    Thank in advance
    jerry

    A cost center as you will know is for fixed reporting for a long time span as part of your company structure (cost center usually = department or work center). 
    An internal order is used to accumulate cost for a specific project or task for a specific time period. An internal order is therefore used for a short period with a specific deadline. 
    Your internal order will usually settle to cost centers (and not visa versa) according to the settlement rule in the order setup. 
    An internal order can therefore be used to group all the expenses incurred to plan and hold a conference over a 3 month period. The order can be settled on a monthly basis to cost centers. 
    When the conference is finished the order can be settled finally. The cost of the conference will then be spread over 2 or more cost centers, but can be viewed in total on the internal order when needed.
    Settlements are used for orders. In the setup of each order is a "settlement rule". In this settlement rule you tell the system to which cost centers the cost in the order must be settled. 
    Typically, you will execute the following procedure at month-ends: 
    1. Settle all orders - this will settle all costs on orders to cost centers. 
    2. Run assessment cycles - Now that you have al costs against cost centers from your orders, you can start distributing costs between cost centers with assessments. 
    Costs are posted to an order. When you process a purchase order you post to the internal order and not to a cost center. The same applies to journals in FI. You will post the costs to the order and not to a cost center. You will then settle the order on month-ends to post to the relevant cost centers. It is very important to settle these orders otherwise FI and CO will not 
    balance on your system. 
    Internal orders can also be used as "statistical" orders. This is also specified in the setup of the order. You do not have to settle statistical orders. When posting costs, you will post to the cost center and the order simultaneously. Both have to be specified when posting journals or purchase orders against statistical orders.
    hope this helps
