Hi,
I want to delete one of coding mask but Iu2019m getting the below error message even though Iu2019ve rename all the Z Projects to start with character u201CPu201D. If I execute CN41 report I cannot see all the u201CZu201D Projects but the projects exist in PRPS table. I there a way I can remove all the Z project in PRPS table?
Projects/WBS elements with the editing mask Z still exist.
Message no. JP011
Diagnosis
There are still projects or WBS elements with edit mask Z in the system. Therefore you cannot change them.
System Response
Processing stopped.
Procedure
All projects or WBS elements that still use this edit mask must be archived before you can change or delete the edit masks.
Regards
SandileThis is because the in PRPS table if you select deletion indicator = x then you will see all Z projects

Difficult with different coding masks for operative and std templates.
Hi Experts
I have below coding masks
OP-XXXX-XX-XX For operative structures (not allowed for std templates)
ST-XXXX-XX-XX For std tempplates (not allowed for operative structures)
But i am unable to create operative project using std template.
I have disabled Lck for std mask and tried, then i could create project but the operative project got created with WBS element's short id 'ST' and not with 'OP'
How to ensure getting the right WBS id while copying from different standard coding mask?
warm regards
ramSivaHi Ahmed
I have gone through help, but i did not get any clue to make use different project IDs for std and operative.
I am just looking for this to have dedicated structures for both std and operative, due to which one can easily recognise the nature by seeing the project id.
Of course, it is very comfortable using unique project ID / coding mask for both. Still i am exploring. You may suggest if feasible.

Deletion of Project Coding Mask
Dear All,
I have created one Project with Project Coding Mask and placed Commitments and Actuals against this Project.I reversed the actuals and trying to delete this project but cant delete it.I placed deletion flag on this project and tried to delete my Project coding mask but i cant delete it.
Please advice me how to delete the Project coding mask as i have to create new mask as per the requirements ,
Thanks
MuzamilGo to OPSJ, try deleting the mask entry.... Normally system should allow. In case it does not... request you to try and delete the project first.
you can do so from CJ20N.
Also try using SE16 and put the table name PROJ. click execute in next screen... system gives all the table entries.
Check the required entries and follow menu path Table entry >> delete...
Hope this helps... -
Campaign Element generation using coding mask
Hi Friends,
Iam working on the automatic number generation for marketing/campaign plan generation. I have implemented the Note provided by SAP and everything is fine.
The issue is with the campaign elements. I have used the coding mask to generate the campaign elements. Whenever i delete a campaign element and create a new one, the same number is used again. I mean the previously deleted campaign element numbers are generated again.
Is there any standard way to create a new campaign element every time from the coding mask without re-using the deleted campaign elements.
Thanks
RajuHello Narayan,
Be more specific? Which version are you in? Is default badi activated? do you have any active custom implementation of Badi CRM_MKTPL_OL_OBJ with code in method "external id generation".
Are you using code masking along with the Badi activation. if you custom implementation of badi CRM_MKTPL_OL_OBJ, make sure you deactivate the default implementation.
Some time this issue might be caused by conflict of multiple implementations active.
Thanks & Regards

Dedicated coding mask for standard template.
Hi Experts
I wish to maintain coding mask for: various varities of projects like:
1) PP/00000-00-00-00
2) PS/00000-00-00-00
3) PA/00000-00-00-00
To have the template functionality also in place, please suggest which of the following is best?
1) The above coding masks are allowed for both operative and standard. It means, the number series contains mix of both std and operative projects.
2) To have a dedicated coding mask ST/00000-00-00-00 which will be a common standard template for creating Operative projects using the above masks. I am still having doubt since i could not test this as the existing system coding masks not allowed for modication.
I request the experts, to suggest a best practice in this regard.
warm regards
ramSivaThe number series will not contain the mix of both operative and standard structures as you have mentioned in point 1. Please check.
As for point 2, Kabir is right. Create a new mask for standard structures and lock it for operative projects.

Hi experts,
I'm trying to create a new coding mask, with letter M, but I'm getting the error message:
Projects/WBS elements with the editing mask M still exist.
I've checked tables PROJ / PROJS and PRPS / PRPSS and I haven't find any Project or WBSE starting with M.
What else should I check?
Thanksyes, most likely the version profile is set to create wbs version released (or other version) and even if you have deleted all entries from PRPS etc.. entries of the version still remain.
you need to delete all version data... stored in tables VSPRPS_CN & VSPROJ_CN
you may use sapnote to delete version data. or delete direct in table.

To Override Project Coding Mask
Dear All,
At present, we have coding mask in system where the Project ID= Company code
For example For ABCD Project ID , coding mask is -XXX-XX-0000-XXXXXXX, and ABCD is also a company code.
The new requirement is to have Project Def such as ABCDP0001234, without any special characters, where ABCD is company code.
How can I override the existing coding mask for creating new Project Def, for say, a new Project profile.
Is there any user exit available for this?
Regards,
Manmay Mallickhello
What you can do:
1. You can delete all projects and change mask and import them again to system. Of course it means that you need to do a huge project for this with CO/MM/FI/SD consultants. That's a very cost consumable event but ... you will have data as you wish. I am not sure if that is worth it.
2. Simples way but a little longer but low costs.
You need to check 1 checkbox, in transaction OPSK check if you have Edit checkbox checked. If not that means you can create project outside the range of project number defined according to your project mask.
Eg. if you have only 1 mask
ABCD-XXX-XX-0000-XXXXXXX, you create project ABCD-EFG-KK-1234-ASD1234
if Edit checkbox is not checked you can create project eg WD12123332/2233-112-1212 but what is important you mustn't have any validation that check a project number and your new project number range doesn't start with ABCD chars. Check it yourself.
So if you stop using ABCD project mask and start using new coding project range as you almost want
ABCDP0001234 - but one char in ABCD must be change for a period of time you will use
0BCDP0001234 number. In other way the system will check it according to your ABCD mask.
When the time will come and projects with old number will go out and you will have only few of them activelu maintain you will make a decision to migrate the few old projects to new number 0ABC.
After that move you will need to archive old projects and remove them from your database then you can delete a mask ABCD. If you delete this old mask all your projects can be renumerate to your number expectation from 0BCDP0001234 to ABCDP0001234. And you got it
What are the costs of this solution:
1. Organizational decision to use new codings of projects 0BCD for period of time.
2. Prepare a few validation to check the project number if you don't use mask you need to have any mechanizm to verify correctness of your project numbers.
3. Small migration of few old projects to new ones.
4. Archive of old projects.
5. Small LSMW to renumerate 0BCD projects to ABCD projects.
When to do it?
It depends of your organization and the lifecycle of your projects.
Additional info
For a period of time in your old projects you can use Mask ID field in project definition and put there + sign in the place which char schould be used to find WBS element in the system as an alternative way.
Eg.
You have a WBS element ABCD-EFG-KK-1234-ASD1234
on the definition of this project in Mask ID put ++++_+++_++_++++_+++++++ where _ means space. In such a way on you WBS element in the field Short ID you will get ABCDEFGKK1234ASD1234 and this number can be used in reports etc.
Hope this help -

Edited by: marias marias on Jan 11, 2010 2:49 PMhi guys,
I would like to change my project coding mask already existing, and used (so i have wbs element created already)
using transaction OPSJ
i wanted to add 5 character at the end of the existing codification
Before : AA.XXXXXX.XXX.XXXX
After : AA.XXXXXX.XXX.XXXX.XXXXX
of course, i have the SAP scary message.
i did look for OSS note 520944 - and it looks like i can do it (see the note extract)
If you want to change an existing editing mask in Customizing, the
following rules apply:
o You can only add one new alphanumeric section to the editing mask.
o You can change a numeric section into an alphanumeric section of
the same length (see Note 521625).
o You can change the special characters of the editing mask. If you
use the solution of Note 441749, you have to update the affected
objects on the database (see Note 441749)
as, honnestly the note are note really clear on this subject,
Does somebody ever done this change in production system ? your feedback ? -

How to create a validation for the project coding mask
Hi,
Would just like to ask how to create a validation for the project coding mask wherein the WBS elements hierarchy will be checked against the template saved. For example,
project coding mask is XXXX-XXXXX-XX-X-X-X-00-X
mother WBS should be XXXX-XXXXX-X and lower level WBS would be XXXX-XXXXX-XX.
The validation should not allow a mother WBS to be XXXX-XXXXX-XX.
How can we go about this?Hi Jacquiline Bersamin,
You can use validation with the combination of the level and the coding mask.
In the validation:
Pre requisite: WBS level = 1
Validation: Prps-posid = prps-posid :1-12:
Message : Error
If required you can give the parameters for your detail error message.
Please let me know if this does not work.
Thanks

Hi friends,
My coding mask is: 00/XXXX.X.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX
The First six characters are for the Project definition.
First I created the Project definition, eg: 13/0000.
Then I created the top level WBS element which will be the same as the Project definition, 13/0000.
Then I created the 9 second level WBS elements (limit is 9 as per the coding mask) eg: 13/0000.1, 13/0000.2 and upto 13/0000.9
Then I want to create some 20 WBS elements under the first WBS element (13/0000.1). At this time the system is allowing me to create the first 9 WBS elements, i.e, 13/0000.1.1, 13/0000.1.2 and so on upto 13/0000.1.9. According to the coding mask the system should allow me to create upto 99 WBS elements at this level. But this is not happening. I am surprised. I want to know why this is happening. Please help me out.
regards
PratapSorry for the delay in reply. There was some problem in SDN website here as a result of which I was not able to post my reply.
In the meanwhile I found out the reason for this problem.
My coding mask was 11/XXXX.X.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX
Since it is 'X', the project creation was not being allowed to create more than 9 WBS elements.
I then tried changing to 11/XXXX.0.00.00.00.00.00
Now it is working fine.
Thanks for your support guys.
But I have one more doubt now.
I have the old Coding (11/XXXX.X.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX) in my quality server. How do I make changes and transport it now? I may face problem since I have already created projects in the quality server with the old coding mask. Please sugget.

Can I create a Coding Mask without special characters?
Good morning,
Our client wants a project code with the following masks:
XX0000-0000.
Please advise how to proceed with it.
Best regards,
NatHi Nat,
u cant have both numeric and alphanumeric in single word "XX0000". U can make the same as "XXXXXX"
and there should be a specific project ID and Project ID and coding mask should be separated by a special character.
u can make the coding mask as explained below
Project ID CODING MASK
1) A :XX-0000-0000
2) A :XXXXXX-0000

Dear Sap gurus,
Can anyone explain what is project coding mask in project system.please very urgent
Thanks&Regards
p.srinivasanWith the project coding you will going to idntify the project definition and WBS elements in SAP.
In Customizing for "Project Number Coding Mask", you define the appearance of the coding masks.
Also in Customizing for "Special Characters" table, you specify the special characters for WBSs, and you also specify the following for the project coding: whether coding must be used, how long the key should be, and whether this length is compulsory. Also a temporary placeholder for determining a project number automatically.
So based on the organizational requirement you will identify how the project coding should look like.
Say for Eg. for company code NLY0, I want start all the project naming should start with NLY0-XX-XXXX.
you specify how a project number in customization for editing. You can maintain the following parameters for editing the project number:
The length of the key for project coding 4
and many special characters, specifying whether the key must have this exact length or whether it can also be shorter. Special characters to enter WBS elements faster. An indicator specifying whether only coded project numbers can be used to create projects....so on.
Like that based on the organization requirement you can maintain you own project coding.
If you satisfy with the answer, reward the points accordingly.

Hi,
Could you please tell the usage of Project coding mask. Is it useful for creating for WBS elements with specific hierarchy or to search the WBS elements?It would be good practice to use coding mask to standardize the Project ID and helps in building WBS hierarchy.
If the client is having different projects for example customer as well as capital projects then u can define coding mask such way that u can identify whether the project is customer or capital project. Later it helps in reporting if client wanted to analyze all the capital projects.
But in SAP it is not mandatory.
Hope this help.
