Dear All,
I have a requirement to cerate standard set of activity elements to activities. We do not use standard networks. Is there any way this can be automated. Or, is it possible by way of customization ?

Issue in BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT in mass creation of WBS Elements

Hi,
I am facing a issue with BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT.
we have the following WBS Hierarchy:
S - Proj, (level1)
S-XXX WBS Element (level2)
S-XXX-001 WBS Element (level3)
I have created a program for mass creation of WBS elements creation
which uses the following BAPI's
BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION
BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI
BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT
BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
The proj: 'S' and the level2 WBS element: 'S-XXX' already exist in the system.
When I run the program for delta load, so as to create the following level3 WBS elements:
S-XXX-001
S-XXX-002
S-XXX-003
The system is throwing the following errors at the BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT:
1. Final Check of the project definition and WBS elements: Error
2. Validation unsuccessful
Pls help me on this.
Thanks,
Deepak

Check the WBS elements doesn't exist already in your system.
Here is what I coded some days back for deletion of Network Activities, most of the things are same.
You are doing for WBS element.
* Call to initialization BAPI Before Delete
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION'.
* Call to Network Activity Deletion BAPI
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BUS2002_ACT_DELETE_MULTI'
        EXPORTING
          i_number           = t_bapi_activity-network
        TABLES
          it_delete_activity = l_t_del_vornr
          et_return = l_t_bapiret2.
      DELETE l_t_bapiret2 WHERE type <> 'E'.
      READ TABLE l_t_bapiret2 INDEX 1.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.                                      "If error in Deletion
        MOVE: f_idoc_contrl-docnum TO t_idoc_status-docnum,
              l_t_bapiret2-type TO t_idoc_status-msgty,
              'CNIF_PI' TO t_idoc_status-msgid,
              l_t_bapiret2-number TO t_idoc_status-msgno,
              l_t_bapiret2-message TO t_idoc_status-msgv1.
              MOVE c_idoc_status_error TO t_idoc_status-status.
              APPEND t_idoc_status.
              ROLLBACK WORK.
              EXIT.
      ELSE.                                                  "If Delete is successful COMMIT
* Call to PreCOMMIT BAPI
        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT'
         TABLES
           ET_RETURN       = l_t_bapiret3.
* Call COMMIT BAPI
*        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.
      ENDIF.
The other solution is use BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN.

How to Use MRS Functionality at Activity Elements Level?

When we use Multi Resource Scheduling for resources in PS, we specify "Resource planner process" as process variant at the network header and the Resource planner node.
In the other hand, at the network operation level we are able to choose the same Process variant and the system displays the planner node to start planning; however we cannot do that when using activity elements because the icon to search the Resource planner is gray out.
How can I use MRS functionality at activity elements level?
I will appreciate your help.
Ragards,
Rafael

Hi Rafael...
A question were able to integrate elements activity to MRS?

We have to create PL elements through FS00. But the system automatically creates a new cost element when i create a GL as a PL nature. Pls let me know how to create a PL element without it being a cost element.

Automatic creation of cost elements

Dear All,
The automtic creation of cost elements functionality is not working for some GL accounts in production. When new GL accounts are created, the same are not created as cost elements. All the standard settings viz 'selection of automatic creation' in controlling area configuration, creation of number ranges in OKB2 etc are in place. We posted in OSS and they are not able to find reasons why this is happening.
Has anyone faced a situation like this? Please post your valuable thoughts and share your inputs. We currently have a log created by user on this and pending for quite sometime.
Thanks in advance
Venkatesh

Hi,
Yes. We do face problem like this often. We wriggle out by updating through manually when we are very nearer to go-live date. Otherwise, we can create an abap program and meet the deficiency.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers!

Manual/Autometic creation of cost elements in chart of accounts field

Dear Friends,
While creation of Chart of accounts (OB13) under Controlling Integratiion tab
thers is two options are there.
1 manual creation of cost elements
2 autometic creation of cost elements.
While creation of cost elements if we select
(MANUAL CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS) what will happen???
(AUTOMETIC CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS) what will happen?
What is the main difference between about two fields?
Thanks in advance,
Mallika

Hi,
MANUAL CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS - Cost elements maintained manually. A push button is available for
this purpose, with which you can go directly to the related cost
element.
AUTOMETIC CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS - Cost elements maintained automatically. When you save a new G/L
account, the related cost element is automatically created. A prerequisite is that a default value for the cost element category
has been set up for this cost element. If no default value is found, the system will not create a cost element.
You can make default settings via :
Cost Element accounting --> master data --> cost element --> automatic creation of primary and secondaru cost element --> make default settings

Question regarding creation of xml-elements with numerical values

When i create xml-documents from xml stored in the database (xmltype table based on an xml-schema), i find that numerical values which were stored as 0.395 (with the "." as the decimal separator) are retrieved as .395.
Is it possible to apply a format mask so that the numerical value is retrieved as 0.395?
thanks, Bart
N.b. Note that i select a complete xml-fragment. So my problem seems related to the storage or retreival of 'schredded' XML. I do not use SQL/XML-functions with relational data, in which case i know how to apply a format mask.

I don't use XSLT, i just query the XML-documents stored in an XMLType column with a simple SQL-statement.
I have posted a simple example over here Re: Is it possible to influence the creation of empty elements?

Creation of Data Element

Hi,
I am working on special project of Automation of all utility billing and housing system for a big company in SAP.
For that I have to create 26 tables and obviously I am creating a lot of dataelements.
Now the problem is my quality dept says that I should use the inbuilt data elements and refrain from creating new ones. In this case the field label is not matching my field. He says that who is going to see the table and says that you can change the field description in reports as you like. Is it justified.
I can see that there are more than 500 standard datalements created for a char field of length 4 by SAP. but none of the description matches my field description. if the case is of reducing the load then does sap recommend not to create z data elements.
Can we create dataelement just for the sake of field label and what is the other purpose of a dataelement if not
How much load will be generated by creating a dataelement.
kindly give some insight into the need to create dataelements.

Hi!
If your Quality people are that much particular about creation of data elements, there is one way to solve this problem. Use standard data elements.
I know here you will get a doubt that after creating a maintenance generator you will not be able to see the description whatever you want in SM30. For this follow the below procedure.
While creating maintenance generator you will give the function group name right, go to SE80 -> and give the function group name there -> double click on the screen number of maintenance -> click on element list tab -> click on 'Texts/I/O templates' tab -> now against the field names under 'Text or I/O Field' column remove the value '+____________' and type the field description there -> repeat the procedure for all the fields -> now save, check and activate the screen as well as function group.
Now if you go to SM30, you can see the field description for every field.
This is somewhat time consuming, but it may help you.
Reward points, if useful.

Venkat.

Regarding creation of node element

Hi
i hav a doubt regarding creation of node element. u can create new node element using method create(cn)Element available either directly from wdContext or from wdContext.node(cn) where cn is any context node.
can any one plz explain me what's the difference between two.
does it has any thing to with node being singelton or non-singelton?
also can anyone explain me the difference between add and bind method.
thanks.

hi
good
Data Binding Methods
If a property can, or must be bound to the context, the respective bind and bound methods are available.
●     The bind methods bind the value of a property to the context element specified by the path.
The name of the method is created according to the following pattern:
BIND_<runtime name of the property>.
Example: table, property: design, method: BIND_DESIGN.
●     The bound methods return the path of the context element to which a property is bound and return NULL if no binding exists.
The name of the method is created according to the following pattern:
BOUND_<runtime name of the property>.
Example: table, property: design, method: BOUND_DESIGN.
ADD METHOD->
Two add methods that add an element.
○     If only the element is transferred as parameter, then the element is added at the and of a list
○     If an index is transferred as well, then this element is transferred at the specified index position.

Activity elements planned values not showing in profit centres and cc.

Hi,
i'm currently working on a project involving Co and PS. I'm in charge of the CO module and i've got a problem with planned values on activity elements and in PS. Planned values are calculated on activty elements and so are actual and they show in real time in profit centres and cost centres but not their planned counterpart values. i've absolutely nothing on profit and cost centres reports. Integrated planning is activated in PS and so is project in versions.
i've asked the PS "Expert" and he said it comes from the "plan cost calculation" tab in cj20n, which obviously isn't the cause.
Doesn't it come from the project profile or status profile customizing? (opsa or ok02)?
Can the problem come from CO?
any help appreciated
regards
xavier

Hi Sreenivas,
thanks for your help and sorry for my late answer.
what is the difference between FAGL_CO_PLAN and transaction 1ke0.
when i log on transaction 1ke0, i can see all my planned values.
wouldn't the issue be resolved by launching t-code faglgcle "fi-gl activate update of plan line items" ?
regards
xavier
