CProjects to PS integration

Hi
I have been working on cProjects to PS integration for client server which runs on ECC6. Both cProjects and SAP objects are on the same server.
I have done required configuration settings for the scenario, also for CO scenario maintenance view determination for my project type I have selected Multilevel controlling (Structure Element, Automatic), but still PS project from cProjects is not getting created.
Is there anything am I missing ????
Regards,
Niraj Sikligar

Hi Niraj,
I checked your documet all config will correct just use following path
It important to define a project number which fits the customizing seetings of project edition mask in project
Step : Spro --> project system -->Structure -->oprative structures --> work break down structure --> @ Define project coding mask
In that check the aviaable project Number
The following characters are available for editing:
X for alphanumeric characters
0 for numeric characters
special characters to organize the project numbers
e.g Project coding key : SUN
Coding Mask :-000-00-00
Then you define the project defination as : SUN-100-01-00
When you define project number in c project use this mask code ( check which mask code are define in your system and use that)
and same will be created in your PS with same as project defination
Thanks

RPM-cProjects-PS Complete Integration...

We are on cProjects-RPM 4.5. We have the accounting system/PS along with CPR-RPM in the same system.
This is how we have set the integration:
- create RPM item. This creates the cProjects Project automatically
- setting the cProjects Project to "Flag for transfer" creates the PS Project
From here on, we need to carry fruther with the following:
- We intend to post costs and revenues (both planned and actual to the WBS elements in PS)
- We intend to bring these costs (and revenues) under appropriate financial views in RPM, under Financial Planning
Please advise.

Hi,
is there any link for RPM-cProjects-PS Complete Integration?
Thanks & regards

"Travel Expense - cProjects" without accounting integration

Working with cProjects 4.0 (as a stand alone system), can I have time and effort captured against task of cProjects' project? I am looking for a scenario where a consultant assigned to a task in cProjects would capture time and also travel expense corresponding to that task (transport / boarding / lodging) expenses in CATS. Can this be done? Where can I retrieve this data from (table name)?
Accounting integration is not to be done. I am only looking for the manual entry of data from the consultant (resource) to be stored in some table in the system from which I can retrieve the data.

Hi Swayam,
Yes, the time capture can be done without the CO-Integration. If there is no co-integraion, the travel expense to cProjects is not possible, or make no sense.
If you are interested, there are two ways by CATS Integration, with and without co-integration.
Case A: without co integration.
1. Worklist (or timesheet?) in ERP will be generated according the cProject structure and custmoizing settings, which control, at which object can the confirmation done. Such worklist does not have a co object.
2. The user capture the time\efforts using CATS in ERP system.
3. the confirmed time\efforts are transfered back to the cProject system, and write in the involved cProject element.
Case B: with co-integration.
1. Worklist (or timesheet?) in ERP will be generated according
     - the cProject structure and
     - customizing settings, which control, at which object can the confirmation done
     - the assigned co-object of cProject elements.
    The worklist has a co object.
2. The user capture the time\efforts using CATS in ERP system.
3. the confirmed time\efforts are transfered back to the cProject system, and write in the involved cProject element.
4. The (actual) costs are booked at ERP system due to the co-object in worklist.
5. Additionally, the cProject evaluation can read the actual costs from ERP system and display it.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

CProjects and xRPM integration

Hello Friends,
I am working on portfolio management(xRPM ABAP), i want to integrate capacity management & cost with cProjects.
Could you tell me the settings i needed to do for my reqirement.
Thanks.
Regards,
Senthil.

Hi,
yes, the integration is permanent.
For Example....
During transfer of work centers from Project System to xRPM, teams are created in xRPM for each of the work centre being transferred to xRPM. One can do this from SAP PLM PS by running the report RPM_WRKCNTR_UPLOAD,
which transfers work centers to SAP xRPM and uses them to create team master data. The team name in xRPM is generated using a combination of plant and work center, because the work center ID is only unique within a plant and can be used again in a different plant.
The resources assigned to the work center are used to create the resources assigned to teams in SAP xRPM. The employee IDs of resources in SAP PLM PS are used to search for business partners in SAP xRPM with identicalemployee IDs.
If a match is found, the business partner is added to theteam.
If the SAP PLM PS work center is created using organization units, the employees in the organization unit are derived during the transfer of the work center and used as the basis for creating teams. If new employees are added to the organization after you have run the report, these employees are not included in SAP xRPM system unless you run the program again. For
this reason, you should run the program regularly (for example, weekly) or schedule it for background.
Hope it helps you.
Thanks

CProjects - SAP PS integration

HI,
I am facing a problem trying to link both systems (cProjects and SAP PS) when creating an Object link (PSP element) inked to a WBS element in SAP PS. Could someone tell me the steps to be followed in order to link a WBS element in PS with a WBS element in cProjects?
Thank you in advance
Héctor

Hector;
You need to configure the follow step's (I'm using SAP PPM 5.0):
1) SPRO -> SAP Portfolio and Project Management -> Project Management -> Structure -> "Define Project Types"
Here you have to make the integration of Project Type to the Financial integration mySAP ERP.
2) SPRO -> SAP Portfolio and Project Management -> Project Management -> Connection to External Systems ->
Integration with Other Project Management Systems
Accounting Integration
   - Activate Integration
   - Define Object Links for Accounting Integration
   - Make General Settings
   - Define Cost/Revenue Rates
   - Replicate Cost/Revenue Rates
   - Replicate Accounting-Relevant Characteristics
   - Make Settings in ERP System
   - Make Project-Type-Specific Settings for Accounting Integration
      -> Make Project-Type-Specific Settings for Accounting Integration
It's very important that you had configured cProject in SAP ERP system.
You can download the Configuration Content of cProject.
http://www.sapprojectsystem.com/2007/08/09/cprojects-overview/
Also you need to configured the RFC conection (trx. SM59) with Basis.
Hope this help you.

CProjects PS/CATS integration with Rel 4.7

Hi,
we will install cprojects 4.5. on a stand alone system. The ERP-system is still on Rel 4.7. in the next few months. Is it possible to use the accounting integration (creating automatically WBS-elements out of cprojects) and to use the CATS-integration? I have read the installation master guide for cproject, on one page it says Rel >4.6 is required and on another if you want to use CATS integration you need ECC 6.0.
Can anyone help me? What release do we need for PS and CATs integration?
Thank's for your help!

SSM to cProjects or xRPM integration

Hi,
Is there a way to integrate SSM with either cProjects? If we're looking into feeding project variance information or even portfolio status from cProjects into SSM's scorecards, etc, what is the best way of implementing that?
We will go through a software evaluation exercise to decide whether SSM or the CPM modules are options, or should we just implement on BI.
Many thanks,
Josephine

Hi Josephine,
given the open architecture of SSM, there are multiple approaches how to achieve this type of integration. From a business perspective, it makes a lot of sense to track initiative-related metrics associated with the strategic initiatives defined in SSM. The important piece is to make the initiative information coming from diverse transactional systems (cPro and co.) visible in SSM as the so-called metrics (actual, target) within your SSM's model. Once you've achieved that, you can use SSM's rules engine as part of SSM's modeling capabilities to derive those useful virtual metrics (trend, score, gap persormance) based on actual/trend. This would give you the opprotunity to track the variances as you're requesting.
This is the core task which is independent of the SSM release you're currently working with. However, there are a few specifics at the beginning and the end of the integration chain which might be affected by the release level:
1) for SSM 2007 - which is the current release based on the application state as it was acquired with the Pilot company - I would advise you to use any standard integration option SSM supports. The easy way would be to let cPro generate flat files with the initiative-related metrics to be connected to SSM's model. The rest would be as desrcibed above and to visualize the metrics, you could turn the metrics set (actual, target, score etc.) into a Key Performance Indicator to be assigned to the same objective the respective initiative is assiged to (a negative variance would affect the status of the respective objective then). At the initiative level, you could then assign a URL link to your cPro app for further drilldown.
2) for the upcoming release (SSM 7.0) that is planned to be released in Q1 2008, there might be some significant improvements that would help you establish a more SAP-centric integration approach. The first planned feature might be the SSM connector to SAP NetWeaver BI. I think I do not have to elaborate on the advantages - just think of cPro extracting the project related data to BI using its standard extractors where you can directly use it as a metrics set (no more flat files...). The next significant improvement in this context might be the possibility to assign KPI's to initiatives directly to trigger the initiative status. This would reduce the necessity to make workarounds (of having to assign the variance KPI to an objective). The feature with the URL link at the initiative level for a drilldown to more details cPro remains of course in new release, too.
(of course please understand my above-mentioned forward-looking statements regarding the upcoming release are not a commitment by SAP to deliver any given code or functionality release - just wanted to share with you my personal opinion on how your question could be answered).
Thank you / regards,
Karol

CProjects and PS Integration

Hi,
I want to integrate cProjects with PS and transfer the data at the time of "Release" of cProjects. May I know what steps I need to take to replicate the cProjects data in PS. I have already chosen transfer during "Release" in cProjects in the project type. But I am not able to link the project type with the project profile
Thanks

HI
Project profile for autoreplication is always CPR0001 in Standard
Also make sure you are using same project Id as needed for Mask Id in SAP PS

CProject - PS : Accounting Integration

Hi,
Requirement is
on change of status in cProject, create project (WBS) accounting structure in ECC Project system module using our defined template. Then link this WBS to the cproject accounting tab.
Any leads on how this can be achieved?
Thanks.
Regards.

Hi Pablo,
I see you encountered this error in 2009 and it hasn't been marked as answered yet.
I was wondering if you found any solution on this one later, because we are facing the same exact error in our current project. I would really appreciate if you share any info. on it.
Thanks,

CProjects - MS Project Integration

Hi experts.
I implemented the intergration exporting from cProjects to MS project.
It works well for all objects except for project definition.
It creates only objects starting from phase...It exports well all except project definition level.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Luca

Hello Luca,
Actually that is exactly what happens, the "Project Definition" is not exported.
You tried to import a product of an export project?

CProjects-MS Project - import and export of task-role-resource assignment

Hi,
We are on PPM5.0
We are currently working on cProjects-MSP client integration.
What we have not been able to configure for import/export so far is:
1. Task-Role-Resource assignment
Whereas we are are able to import/export the "Person Responsible" and "Role Responsible" fields, we have not been able to align the task-role-resource assignments.
We see a "Resource Name" column (Standard) in MSP. When we click on the drop down, we see all the roles from the cProjects project. But the alignment does not happen.
Summary:
On export and import, we need to automatically see the role-resource-task assignment. How is this possible?
2. Code field to "VC_BUPA_GUID" gets a number which is not the BP ID.
Is it possible to import the BP numbers in MSP. Also, how can we assign a number to the role in MSP such that on import into cProjects, the role is already staffed with the corresponding BP.
3. Is it possible to export all the resources (BPs) into a drop down in MSP - like we see the Project Type, Role Type etc.
Thanks.

Hi Anuradha,
Thanks for your inputs.
When we export to MSP, we see the cProjects roles under the "Resource Name" drop down in MSP.
However, they are only seen when we expand on the drop down.
For e.g. RoleA, and RoleB are two roles in cProjects project, along with many other roles.
Both of these roles are assigned to a task, say TASK1.
When exported to MSP, we expect both of these roles to show against TASKI, as "RoleA, RoleB" under the "Resource Name" column. However, these roles are not seen. They only appear as elements of drop down, along with all other roles in the project, when we explicitly click on the drop down.
Please let me know if I are missing out on something.
Thanks.
