Project Profile from SAP-PS in cProjects

Hi,
Need your suggesttion on the below issue. We have cProject & R/3 integration. Project structure will be created in cProjects which will also create a project in SAP-PS. As per standard SAP-PS, CPR0001 is project profile to be used for cProjects & PS interface. Project profile (CPR0001) contains standard settings of SAP such as controllig area / company code / plant etc. I had copied CPR0001 project profile & created new profile to be used for creating project as per our organsaition structure. I observed while creating project from cProjects, it is considering CPR0001 project profile & accordingly the organisation structure is copying where as our required project profile is different.
I would like to request in cProjects, where it is calling project profile & to make the project profile as per our requirments.
Thank you for your cooeparation.

Hi Ranjan,
1. Project element is creating as WBSE & project definition in PS. But there is no one -to-one mapping. I would like to transfer various phases as WBSE in R/3 but it is n't happening
>> There tow scenario of the replication, one is role-based, other is task-based. In case of role-based, the phases are not used, as role is not under the phase. In case of task-based, the phase should be used, as it is in most cases the parent of the task. I am not 100 percent sure at this point.
2. Dates are n't getting transferred to project in project structure of SAP-PS.
>> At the replication, only some data are mapped to the WBS, mostly the costs relevant information, as the purpose of this functionality is costs. Even the left-right relationships can not guaranteed in some cases.
3. The WBSE which created in PS from cProjects, master data are locked
>> Worked as designed. The idea is to forbid the use change the master data of the replicated WBS. It is somehow inflexible, but it is customer requirement, which trigger this feature. You can unlock it manually in the ERP system.
4. Tasks are n't getting transferred as network activity into PS
>> Not possible in cPro. 4.0, in release 4.0 the project system integration (other name multiple level controlling) will be mapped to WBS. In Release 3.1, it is possible to get. But from my point of view, map to WBS is the better way.

Project Profile

Hi! Experts,
We have created a new Project Profile and hence forth we would like that the Projects be created using the new Project Profile. Already there are projects with old profile. When we open the header WBS element it is showing error instead of opening the WBS element screen. What is the solution to this? Thanks in advance.
Bekele

Q .Is it possible to deactivate the old project profile?
It is not possible to deactivate project profile. the only option is that you modify your existing project profile up to some extent, so, while creating new project with that modified old project profile will take in to accout your requirement.
Q .If already existing projects with old profile can they be changed at once with new project profile?
Existing project with with old project profile cannot be changed with new project profile.

Display Project Profile in CJ01

Hello,
Can anybody help how I can make Project Profile to be displayed in CJ01? I can see only the description from OPSA, but it does not include the Project Profile.
Thank you.
Rodica

Hi,
No, its not possible to display only mode in CJ01 initial screen. Because in CJ01, you have take project profile for creating project.
For SAP PS document: You have to Google as per your requirement. There are many documents available.
Some are:

SAP Authorizations Concept Project

Hello,
Before, i would like to say that this thread will stay open, with questions and answers. Thanks
I am starting a little project on authorizations. The company has only 9 users, and all of them have the SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW profiles, wich after an audit generated the need to have them removed and the need to implement an Authorization Concept from the root.
The first step and most important is to get the profiles fixed before the next audit, wich i think will only give me time to create generic profiles based on a List of Transactions and Reports, that each one of them, or a group, executes. I've been reading the ADM940 module, and i have some experience in SAP BI Authorizations, but no experience in Authorizations at a higher level.
My questions are, Recomendations and attentions i must have to implement this concept i've described and
Is the automatic profile generator, based only on transactions and reports enough to fullfil the needs i described before enough? Or after that i'll have to maintain some Authorizations objects manually?
Thank you very much
JO

Closing the thread, as it has a lot of days by now

You cannot use approp. request type 1 without a project profile

Dear All,
What should i do. I tried to create appropriation request. Error message appears
You cannot use approp. request type 1 without a project profile
Message no. AO257
Please help.
Cheers,
Nies

You create Apr request which can either get replaced with Internal Order or Project/WBS after approving the request.
For this to happen, you need to have assigned either order type/project profile in the Apr request type.
Config Node where you maintain this is below:
Investment Management>Appropriation Requests>Master Data>Control Data>Maintain Appropriation Request Types
Maintain the profile and set the indicator WBS element as Allowed measure.
Better refer the Best Practice Configuration Guide available for Investment Management on SAP help portal.

Make project profile field non mandatory in CJ20n Transaction

Hi All,
I want to make project profile field non mandatory in my CJ20n transaction. I tried through OPUA, OPUK, OPUC but of no use. The field over there is just an input field. I need to make it non mandatory either through configuration or through code. Please suggest.
Regards,
Jayant

Hi,
this is a required field, as far as the standard SAP code goes: everytime this field is touched the following function is executed in programme FV45EF0V_VBEP-EDATU_EINGEBEN:
    call function 'PERIOD_AND_DATE_CONVERT_INPUT'
      exporting
        external_date     = rv45a-etdat
        external_period   = rv45a-prgbz
      importing
        internal_date     = vbep-edatu
        internal_period   = vbep-prgrs
        ev_date_in_past   = lv_date_in_past
        ev_period_in_past = lv_period_in_past
      exceptions
        no_data           = 1
        period_invalid    = 2
        date_invalid      = 3.
    case sy-subrc.
      when 1.
        set cursor field 'RV45A-PRGBZ' line sy-stepl.
* Bitte Datum eingeben
        message e394.
The only way to avoid this is create an implicit enhancement at the beginning of this form, copy the exisitng code in there, delete the message after WHEN 1. and put RETURN at the end of the enhancement. But this would be HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED, because I am positive you cause a lot of misery later on in the process: this field is mandatory for a reason!

Not able to create EAR file for WAR file extracted project

Hi Experts,
I am trying to import a WAR file, make changes to the project and create an EAR file for the same. I am not able to remove import
errors despite of adding required jar files to it.
Also, I am not able to create an EAR file for the same.
I have copied the steps here with screen shots. Below are the steps :
Import WAR file in NWDS 7.3 – Enterprise Portal perspective
Select WAR file to create WAR and EAR project for it.
Project created with import errors. e.g – com.sapportals.portal.prt*
Found jar file from Class – target jar file table.
e.g – for Class com.sapportals.portal.prt.resource.IResource needed jar file is tc~epbc~prt~api.jar
Copied required jar files in WEB-INF -> lib folder.
Configure Build path and Add External jars.
Portalapp file screen shot
I think errors should go now, but they still exist.
Next I right click on WAR project and tried updating related EAR project.
Next, Export EAR file from EAR project.
I have tried both EAR types.
But EAR file is not created.
Please help me in removing the errors.
Thanks in advance :-)

Hi Anubha,
I feel that you're missing JAR dependencies and hence not able to resolve the above import errors.
Please go through the below thread for the AFP Masthead customization and follow the same:

Hope, this will help!!!

Creation of Project Profile & Network Profile

Hi Experts,
I am new to PS. We have a customer project which has two company codes.
Company 1 has three plants and company 2 has one plant. Our client will use PS for new product development projects. That new product will be developed in a single plant itself. Each plant is dedicated to one kind of product development only.
Please let me know how many project profiles & network profiles have to be created for this scenario.
Thanks & Regards,
Kabir
Edited by: Kabir on Nov 16, 2008 8:23 AM

Hi Virendra,
Thank you for the reply.
In our case, by New product development project, my client means that they will develop a new product for their customers based on the new specifications & designs. For example, an auto component.
The client also wants to do the billing. So we will take it as a customer project here. We will have WBS for Design, Production, Delivery etc...with activities in it. In such case, is one project profile & one network profile sufficient ? Please suggest.
Thanks
Kabir

Project Structure in SAP R/3 Replication Issues

Hi All,
I have some of the Issues while creating the Project Structure in cProjects.
1) The Project Structure getting generated in SAP R/3 is only mappped with WBS elements, why not Networks and Network Activies.
e.g
*cProjects SAP Project Systems*
Project Definition -
> Project definition
Phase----
> WBS Element
Task----
>WBS Element
Mirrored Task----
>WBS Element
Sub Task----
>WBS Element
Checklist----
>WBS Element
Checklist item----
>WBS Element
Is this the standard feature or whether we can create the Network and Network Activites for Tasks and Checklist??
2) The Numbering of the Phase, Tasks, Sub tasks, hecklist etc... all are of some 24 digit numerals, Can we automate the numbering like, the WBS element at level 1 should copy the project definition number and some extension...
3) the Project generated in SAP Project Systems i.e the WBS Elements has status "MDLK" Master data locked.... Why is this set. Is it standard? Can we eliminate this?
Hoping for answers from you all.
Thanks & Regards,
Stephen

>>> As the WBS is automatically created via integration. Use this status to prevent the user change it by mistaken. To behonest, I do not this logic, but it is standard behaviour.

Settlement of WBS/Project Profile (Cross Company Code)

Hello All,
At my current client, we are having 45 company codes assigned to one controlling area.My question is around setting of Project Profile/Settlement Profile. How do I manage project profiles?
Also If I am managing few project profiles allowing cross company code settlement, what are the pros and cons of doing this? What are the bare minimums for this with respect to configuration
Thanks
Shiv

projects are cross company codes but must be wuithin oine controlling area - so you are ok
the settlement will be from an object either WBS or network activity
the settlement will happen in the company code that is assigned to either the WBS or network activity
regards project profile create as less as possible - if the only difference is the company code then use templates for different companies, or make company code mandatory forcing the user to enter on creation - this will limit the number of project profiles
