Easy cost planning - derivation rule

Hi all.
I started using the ECP tool.
Can I using the characteristic derivation , such as we use in CO-PA (KEDR) ?
Can i create a "derivation rule" to decided which value the character received according to character value chosen.
Example .
If I create new character in ECP called "color" and I want to use this formula :
Derivation rule for "color" black = 0.01 , red = 0.5 , white = 8.1 .
Formula : x = "color" * 3 .
Result : "color" = black ==> x = 0.01 * 3 = 0.03

hi..
You could enter the condition in the activation column. if the price is 3000 if X > 1 and 2000 if X < 1. There will be two rows one with price 3000 with activation condition X > 1 and another with price 2000 with activation condition X < 1.

Easy Cost Planning: Calculation Row (Business Process) in Cost Model Derivation Rule

Hi All,
The Requirement:
Using the Cost Model I am able to do up to Sub-Total Value. I tried with Calculation Row (Business Process) in the Cost Model Derivation Rule, but could not succeed.
I tried with Base Planning Object, but the formulas are different for other scenarios. Which require 5 to 6 Base Planning Objects are required to be created to get the total amount for a single line item, in the construction project there will be more than 10,000 line items and it is very difficult to maintain the data and also it is time consuming.
Can you suggest me, how to map the requirement?
Best Regards,

You need to check the following for the material cost to appear in network costing:
1. Check whether costing variant is assigned to the network or not.
2. Check whether costing relevancy indicator is checked in material component assigned to the network.
3. If costing variant exists, check the valuation variant and strategy sequence for material valuation.
4. Go to the material master and see whether price is mentioned or not.
I would suggest you to use Network costing, Also note network costing are recorded in Co version '0' so if you have maintained your ECP for '0' version, there is a chance of both the costing getting added up.

Calculated field in model of easy cost planning

Hi,
I would like to introduce the cost model easy planing a calculated field (characteristic), which was the multiplication of two fields (Characteristics).
I have entered into the transaction CKCM "Easy Cost Planning: Model", I created 3 Characteristics (A,B,C)through the option
"Assign Characteristics to the model."
I entered the "Define the derivation rules (template)" and created a calculation with the two characteristics( C = A * B). The problem I have is that I did not enter the calculation in characteristic 3, which is what I want to pick up the value.
Many Thanks.
Regards.

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for answering.
My question is, how I can assign a calculation in a characteristic?
Characteristic A
Characteristic B
Characteristic C = A * B
I want the easy cost planning screen, enter a value in the characteristic A and B, it will automatically calculate the C and view the calculation in the screen in characteristic C. As I can do?
Thank you very much.

Easy cost planning - cost element

Hi,
while creating an easy cost planning using a cost template, the system proposes a cost element (linked to the activity type). Can we propose by default another cost element ? (using a user exit ?) We tried to do it in the derivation rules for the cost template, but didn 't had any luck..
thanks in advance !!

just trying to keep the topic alive

Hi Rasam,
You can see the ECP of simulation using CJ20N, or CJ9ECP.
The multiple ecp (MECP) is applied using SAP extenstion, after release 2.0. If you can check the system status of your system, you can find out, if the EA_APPL (at least 2.0 release) is applied your system or not. IF yes, you can find the corresponding customizing to active the MECP.
If MECP is active, you can then determine in which version should be ECP maintained. You get an additional POP UP screen to let you select the CO version, as you lauch to the ECP in CJ20N or CJ9ECP.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Easy Cost Planning & Project Stock

Dear Experts,
I am using Easy cost planning for WBS cost planning and Project definition control data tab page has Valuated Project stock selected.My costing model had an external procurement material for which I generated PR & PO thru Execution services.But the account assignment in my PR & PO was P with the corresponding WBS as account assignment and not Q.
I have two question regarding this,
1) Does it mean that while using ECP, Project stock concept will not work?
2)How can we get the pop up of procurement type options(like Res + PR for WBS element) while generating PR through execution services?

Hi,
I am replying again because in my last answer there was some typing mistake.
Hi,
I tried your scenario is my system.
whenever i am changing P to Q in Config in SPRO,It is giving an error that "The selected account assignment category is not supported" that means it is not meant for Q but i double click for object type PR WBS Element and changed Acct Assgmt Cat to Q then system allowed me to save.
The i create a PR and WBSE is coming in the Account Assignement ,then i converted PR to PO and then i recived goods as project stock.when i issued the material in ECP it is not issuing from Project stock because 221 Q is not present in Config for SPRO so it is issuing from Normal stock so special stock from ECP is not supported.
But you can manually issue the material to the WBSE in MIGO/MB1A by 221 Q.
Hope it is clear.

Easy cost Planning & Network Costing

Dear All
In one Project can we use both Easy cost Planning & Network Costing. Easy cost planning is generally used when you have structure with WBS only. Network cost planning is a combination of group of activities, all these having their relevant cost elements/ work center combination. can we manage both this in one project. If it possible please explain in detail.
Regards
Nivrutti

What is your business requirement ? It depends on that. Yes your understanding is quite correct. We use easy cost planning in the initial phase of project. Easy cost planning can be done in various versions including 0 plan / actaul version. If you does easy cost planning in 0 along with network costin you will double up lannning cost.
Network costing can only be done in plan / actual version 0 only.
Best approach is to use easy cost plnnaing as rough cut level apart from 0 version. And use network costing. However it may very a/c to business requirement.
With Regards

Easy Cost Planning at Network Level

Hi All,
I was able to implement ECP at WBS level, but not able to implement at network level. I am using SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4.
I have activated the business function ops_ps_ci_1 and also activated the 'Activate Planning for Network Activities with Easy Cost Planning' in the configuration settings in SPRO-IMG. I had gone through most of the threads on this topic like :
Network Activity Easy Cost planning
ECP at activity level not triggered
I am not able to find the option for 'Create Alternate CO Version' and 'Activate Multiple CO Version' under the Easy Cost Planning and Execution Services in SPRO-IMG.Please advise me in implementing Easy Cost Planning at Network Level and correct me if I was wrong in completing the configuration steps.

Thanku All,
I have done all the steps as you mentioned
1. Activated the business function OPS_PS_CI_1.
3
2.
3.
Activated Multiple Plan Version using the tcode RCNPRECP
Still not able to view the options under SPRO-IMG Easy Cost Planning
* Create Alternate CO Version
* Activate Multiple CO Version
Also not able to implement ECP at network level.

Easy Cost Planning & Project Builder

Dear All,
I would like to know whether the Material included in Easy Cost Planning be updated in Project Builder strucure. Is there any BAPI to upload material component?

I do think, that there is no functionality in standard to include the materiai in ECP into PS structure.
The material in ECP represent the costs point of view, and the material in PS structure represent typically not only the logistic view but also the costs point of view. If you manage to include the material into PS structure (e.g. manually), please avoid the double costs.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo
