Final confirmation issue in project system activities

Dear all,
I have having problem in final confirmation.
I created activities.Planned some scope of work , after completion of the same scope of work I marked Final confirmation as system automatically ask for.But the situation now is that, The scope of work for the same activity is re-planned, It need to be chaged as scope of work increased.
I changed the scope of work, But while confirming from CN25 the same activity number is not getting displayed.
Kindly suggest

Asset settlement issue from Project System

Hello everyone,
In SAP, we have tied Project System and Fixed Asset in the sense that for each network/activity in PS we create and link an asset in Asset Accounting. In the Purchase Order, the network/activity number is assigned and all the transactions that occur through this PO (including down payment, its clearing, GR/IR) are then settled on the specified asset when we execute settlement run at month end through CJ88.
However, we have encountered scenarios where an asset was not timely allocated to the network/activity but the transactions were carried out through the PO. When the settlement run was executed, its impact was not visible in Asset Accounting. Later, it was realized and the asset was created and assigned. Once the asset was assigned, all the subsequent transactions through the PO were then being settled successfully. But the problem is with those transactions for which the asset number was initially not assigned.
Is there any program that can be executed to include the impact of the previous transactions. Otherwise, suggest alternatives.
Thanks

Hi Thanks for your reply, But that is not relevent to this issue.
The issue here is -
First 2 documents has value date of 4th period and the amount is 8800
Next document has value date of 5th period and the amount is 1200
Now i am trying to settle 10000(8800+1200) with 5th period date. Its givign an error Settlement amount is greater than Available amount
Will it solve if i settle 4th period with 8800 first and then 1200 with 5t period? or any other process?
Thanks

Goods issue in Project System(SAP-PS)

While creating the Goods Issue with reference to Goods Receipt from Tcode MIGO, it show the error message " Selected material document does not correspond with action to be executed ". First i created Purchase Request.After this Purchase Order with reference to PR.After this I created GR with reference to PO.But i'm not able to create GI.
Please suggest me.

If you have assigned these materials in the network activity you can create a delivery from CNS0 and do the goods issue.

Please resolve this issue for Project Systems

I our org v need a solution for this scenario "After when an notification is created in tran 'IQS1' of type 'GO' by the site engineer it should be intimated to the planning engineer. The planning enginner can either 'put in process'or 'pospond'or 'complete'. The action taken by the planning engineer should b intimated to the site engineer, if no action is taken place by the planning engineer esculate it to the next level Project manager(assume the duration to b 2hours), This esculation should also b informed to the site enginner. When the project manager takes action for the notification it should b informed to the planning engineer. If the project manager in not taking any action esculate it to senior manager and
the action taken by the senior project manager wil b informed to the project manager.

Hi,
You can create a WF for the same.
Notification can be send by - Mail Step Type..
Actions on decisions can be taken by - User-Decision Step Type..!!
Kindly search SapTechnical -> Tutorials -> Business WF for the same..!!

Project system Budget Needs to be Doubled

Hi All,
I am facing a issue in project system where we have to double our budget, if we need to run a settlement in the system.
For a example, if we have a budget of 100,000 and that is allocated to TWO sub WBS Elements as 50,000 each and when we want to run the settlement run it informs us that the budget is exceeded. So if we need to get the settlement run we have to allocate additional budget to the main WBS Element. But when we checked all the Purchases for the respective WBS, we find that the budget is not exceeded, but the settlement is checking for budget again in the main WBS Element.
This is the way our consultants have configured this and now they are no more in the company. Can any one ex-plane how we can fix this so that we don't need to allocate more budget to the main WBS Element.
Regards
Ruchendra

Hi Ruchendra,
Have you checked the settlement rule ..It might be receiver as higher level wbs-element in lower level wbs-element.
For example:-
You maintained two 2nd level wbs-element below 1st level wbs with 50000 budget each.
Now you consumed budget and cost inc rued.
Now while settlement this cost moves to higher level wbs-elemnt bcoz of settlement rule.
Thats why it needs budget to cover up that cost.
Check this ..It might help you.
Thanks

(project system) do book confirmation amount as a actual cost

HI all
it is possible in project system when i confirm my activity then it does not book actual cost to my network activity.
because i need to show this confirm amount as only for information purpose....my clint requirement.
thanks

with the material ledger, actual costs are not only used to value the stock at the period end. You also have the possibility to revalue the cost of goods sold with the actual costs of production for the period.
The system takes initial stock, initial value, production of the period, actual costs of production of the period to calculate "cumulative stock of the period" and "cumulative value". The cumulative value per unit is then applied to all consumption of the period (goods sold) and the final stock.
Your only alternative to the material ledger would be to value yout finished goods at V-price, not S-price. The problem with this is that you don't necessarily have all the information about actual costs at the moment your finished product enters stock. For example actual activity prices can only be reasonably calculated per period.
Whether V-price is an option depends on the details of your scenario.
To me material ledger is the right way to value stocks and COGS at actual cost.

Project System - Report Painter - Cost roll up issue

Hi,
We have an issue with the roll up of the costs in Report Painter report in Project Systems. The problem occurs only with those costs which have been settled to an internal order from a WBS element.
We are using the same cost elements to settle to the Cost Center and Internal order and roll up of the costs work fine for those settled to cost center. But the roll up does not happen for the costs settled to an internal order. Would appreciate if someone can guide on how to fix this issue.

Version 999 Project System Plan Data Issue

I am using transaction CJ9B to copy the Project System related plan data i.e. plan data at the WBS element level from Version 10F, period 1 to 12 in year 2010 to version 999, period 1 to 12 in year 2010. The transaction CJ9B runs successfully in the update mode. But when report CJI4 is executed for version 999, period 1 to 12 in year 2010 then we do not find plan data in sync with version 10F.
I analysed this issue, had a meeting with end user and blanked out target version 999 using source version 9ZR for the year 2010. Then I again copied version 999 from version 10F. Still plan data in version 999 do not exist as they are in version 10F. I have checked the version 999 master data in transaction OKEV. Integrated Planning for SPL, COPA, cost center accounting and business process is active. COPY Allowed is also enabled. Version 999 is unlocked as well.
Hence I am not sure why the copy functionality is not working fine for version 999, period 1 to 12 in year 2010.
Can you please take a look and revert with your opinion so that this issue can be fixed ?
Thanks,
Umesh

Hi,
If you want to copy all the plan date from 10F to 999, then in Txn CJ9B
select the indicator reset and overwrite in target version and execute in test mode.

Project system: Budget exceeded issue.

Dear Sir or Madam,
This issue is related to project system. We have overall budget and annual budget. If annual budget in a year is exhausted is it possible to make the system look at overall budget since there are sufficient funds in overall budget.
Thanks
Joseph

Hello Joseph,
Unfortunately not. You may however change the assigned budget profile so that the overall budget is
checked (transaction OPS9->tab "Availability Control->flag the field "overall") and rebuild availability control of the project in transaction CJBN afterwards.
But there is definitely no "combination" of both possible.
Greetings

How can we explain the process from project system to final asset

Dear masters,
how can we explain from project system to final asset flow in the configuration level.
thanks
Moderator: Please, refer to basic SAP material

Hi,
Project & its related WBS will be initial cost collector (i.e invoices are booked against them). Once the status of Project/WBS is set to tech complet and AUC is assigned in the settlemnet rule. That particular asset record will recive values when we run the suttlemnets.
This is an broad line view. Specific will depend on case to case.
Thanks

Project System Issues

Dear PS Masters,
1.Can any one tell me the scenerio of Simulation.
Basic configuration.
2.Can we delete whole cost plan at single shot (element wise).
3.Is there any standard report to see the values of Costplan(cj40)..Budget(cj30)
Reagards&Thanks
Chandra

Hello Chandrasai,
For Query - 1: Follow the following steps:
(1) Goto T.code SPRO --> IMG Menu --> Project System --> Simulation --> Stipulate Version Keys for Simulation (T.code OPUS). Over here create version keys as per your requirement. Do not Flag for inactive input template.
(If you tick the input mask to inactive, then no version numbers can be created in this number range.) You can cancel this indicator.
(2) Goto T.code SPRO --> IMG Menu --> Project System --> Simulation --> Stipulate Simulation Version.
(3) Project Version are called Screen Shots of Operative Projects and not simulation version. Simulation version are usually used for having different Planned version of one project before the execution starts.
(4) Now Goto T.code CJV1. Enter Simulation version key, Project Definition, Project Profile.
(5) Choose continue. You would see project planning board enter/edit the data and save the simulation version.
For Query - 2: Follow the following steps:
You need to manually clear the plan cost defined in CJ40. There is no option to delete the plan cost at one go.
For Query - 3: Follow the following steps:
(1) Goto T.code CNS41. Enter the Project Definition and Execute or F8
(2)Choose Fields or F5 and select "Project Cost Schedule" and "Budget" or any required fields.
Please let me know if you need more clarifications.
Thanks & Regards,

Project Systems - Transaction CJ20N

Hi all,
In the transaction CJ20N(Project builder) for the creation of the WBS element, client has enhanced 2 fields, Investment program name(PRNAM) and investment program indicator(posid),apart from the standard fields available in PRPS table. Is there any BAPI/BADI/FM to create multiple WBS elements and the BAPI table should include these both fields PRNAM and POSID apart from the fields available IN PRPS table.
I used BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI. But this BAPI table doesnot include PRNAM and POSID fields.
Kindly post your solutions.
Or is there any other method to solve this problem.

Hi ,
u have to make use of Extensions of that BAPI to populate Customer Fields.
FU BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI
Text
Create WBS Elements by BAPI
Functionality
WBS elements can be created for a project with BAPI "BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI". To do this, parameter "I_PROJECT_DEFINITION" must contain the project definition for which the WBS elements are to be created. The individual WBS elements with all required values must be entered in table "IT_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE".
The WBS elements are created next to each other, in the same sequence as in table "IT_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE". A WBS element under which the new WBS elements are to be created can be specified in parameter "I_WBS_UP". A WBS element that is to be located directly to the left of the new WBS elements can be specified with parameter "I_WBS_LEFT". If "I_WBS_LEFT" is not specified, the new WBS elements are added on the left-hand side. If I_WBS_UP is also not specified, the new WBS elements are added on the left and on the first level.
Before anything is created, the following is checked:
Is another project already being processed in the LUW (Logical Unit of Work)?
Can the project be locked?
If one check is not successful, nothing is created. Otherwise, each WBS element is changed individually in "IT_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE", although the following is checked first:
Is the data consistent?
If all checks are succussful, the individual WBS element is created in the document tables. Afterwards, the hierarchy is updated, that is the new elements are added in the appropriate place as described above. If an error occurs while this is being carried out, the new elements are created on the right-hand side, on the first level, and an error message is generated in the return table. An error can occur if the WBS element in I_WBS_UP and I_WBS_LEFT does not exist in the specified project, or I_WBS_UP is not directly above I_WBS_LEFT if both are specified, or because an inconsistency occurs in the hierarchy for another reason.
As soon as a LUW (Logical Unit of Work) is completed with BAPI BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT and COMMIT WORK, the WBS elements are finally changed.
Only one project or WBS element from a project can be processed at a time in a LUW.
The return parameter RETURN displays first an error or success message that shows whether the WBS elements could be created. The first message variable contains the object type, the second contains the object ID, and the fourth contains the GUID (if it could be read). All related messages that were generated during processing are listed underneath the error or success messages. The parameters of the individual messages are filled with the object ID.
Notes
1. Definition "Processing Unit"
In the following, the term "processing unit" refers to a series of related processing steps.
The first step in a processing unit is initialization, which is done by calling the BAPI BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION.
Afterwards, the individual BAPIs listed below can be used several times, if required.
The processing unit ends when the final precommit (call BAPI BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT) is executed with a subsequent COMMIT WORK (for example, the statement COMMIT WORK, the BAPI "BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT" or the BapiService.TransactionCommit method).
After the final COMMIT WORK, the next initialization opens a new processing unit via the BAPI "BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION".
In principal, the following applies to each individual processing unit.
2. Creation of a Processing Unit
Each processing unit must be initialized by calling the BAPI "BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION" once.
Afterwards, the following individual BAPIs can be used within a processing unit - they can also be used more than once, taking into account the "One-Project-Principle" explained below. This also means that an object created in the current processing unit by a CREATE-BAPI can be changed by a CHANGE-BAPI or STATUS-BAPI.
Except for the BAPIs explicitly named below, you can only call up BAPIs that execute GET methods or READ methods only. In particular, the BAPIs for confirming a network may not be used with the individual BAPIs named below!
Business Object ProjectDefinitionPI
BAPI Method
BAPI_BUS2001_CREATE ProjectDefinitionPI.CreateSingle
BAPI_BUS2001_CHANGE ProjectDefinitionPI.Change
BAPI_BUS2001_DELETE ProjectDefinitionPI.Delete
BAPI_BUS2001_SET_STATUS ProjectDefinitionPI.SetStatus
BAPI_BUS2001_PARTNER_CREATE_M ProjectDefinitionPI.PartnerCreateMultiple
BAPI_BUS2001_PARTNER_CHANGE_M ProjectDefinitionPI.PartnerChangeMultiple
BAPI_BUS2001_PARTNER_REMOVE_M ProjectDefinitionPI.PartnerRemoveMultiple
Business Object WBSPI
BAPI Method
BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI WBSPI.CreateMultiple
BAPI_BUS2054_CHANGE_MULTI WBSPI.ChangeMultiple
BAPI_BUS2054_DELETE_MULTI WBSPI.DeleteMultiple
BAPI_BUS2001_SET_STATUS WBSPI.SetStatus
Business Object NetworkPI
BAPI Method
BAPI_BUS2002_CREATE NetworkPI.CreateFromData
BAPI_BUS2002_CHANGE NetworkPI.Change
BAPI_BUS2002_DELETE NetworkPI.Delete
BAPI_BUS2002_ACT_CREATE_MULTI NetworkPI.ActCreateMultiple
BAPI_BUS2002_ACT_CHANGE_MULTI NetworkPI.ActChangeMultiple
BAPI_BUS2002_ACT_DELETE_MULTI NetworkPI.ActDeleteMultiple
BAPI_BUS2002_ACTELEM_CREATE_M NetworkPI.ActElemCreateMultiple
BAPI_BUS2002_ACTELEM_CHANGE_M NetworkPI.ActElemChangeMultiple
BAPI_BUS2002_ACTELEM_DELETE_M NetworkPI.ActElemDeleteMultiple
BAPI_BUS2002_SET_STATUS NetworkPI.SetStatus
The processing unit must be finished by calling the BAPIs BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT and BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT (in that order).
3. One-Project Principle
For technical reasons, only the project definition and the WBS elements of one project can be processed in a processing unit.
More than one project is used, for example, if
You create or change more than one project
You have changed a project and want to change a network to which WBS elements from a different project are assigned
You want to change various networks to which WBS elements from different projects are assigned
You create or change a WBS assignment in a network so that a WBS element from a second project is used
WBS elements from different projects are already assigned to a network (note: this type of network cannot be processed with the network BAPIs named above).
If you define a report for calling BAPIs, this means that:
The report may use a maximum of one project per processing unit. The individual BAPI calls must be distributed between more than one processing unit, which use a maximum of one project per processing unit.
4. All-Or-Nothing Principle
If an error occurs in a processing unit in an individual BAPI or in the BAPI "BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT" (that is, the return table ET_RETURN contains at least one message of the type "E" (error), "A" (abnormal end) or "X" (exit), posting is not possible.
If an error occurs in an individual BAPI and despite this you call the BAPI "BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT", message CNIF_PI 056 is issued with message type I (information).
If an error occurs in an individual BAPI or in the BAPI "BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT", but despite this you execute a COMMIT WORK, the program that is currently in process is terminated and message CNIF_PI 056 is issued with message type X.
This is to ensure data consistency for all objects created, changed, and/or deleted in the processing unit.
Note that the processing unit to which this happens can no longer be successfully closed and therefore, no new processing unit can be started.
However, you can set the current processing unit back to an initialized status by using a rollback work (for example, statement ROLLBACK WORK, the BAPI "BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK" or the method BapiService.TransactionRollback). Technically speaking, this means that the previous LUW is terminated and a new LUW is started in the current processing unit.
Note that in this case, the current processing unit does not have to be re-initialized.
Also note that the rollback also takes place according to the "all-or-nothing" principle, that therefore all individual BAPIs carried out up to the rollback are discarded. After a rollback, you can, therefore, no longer refer to an object that was previously created in the current processing unit using a CREATE-BAPI.
However, you can close the processing unit again after a rollback, using a PRECOMMIT and COMMIT WORK, as long as all individual BAPIs, and the precommit carried out after the rollback, finish without errors.
You can carry out several rollbacks in a processing unit (technically: start a new LUW several times).
5. Procedure in the Case of Errors
As soon as an error occurs in an individual BAPI or in the BAPI "BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT", you have the following options:
Exit the report or the program that calls the BAPIs, the PRECOMMIT and the COMMIT WORK.
Execute a rollback in the current processing unit.
6. Rules for Posting
After you have successfully called the individual BAPIs of a processing unit, you must call the PRECOMMIT "BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT".
If the PRECOMMIT is also successful, the COMMIT WORK must take place directly afterwards.
In particular, note that after the PRECOMMIT, you cannot call other individual BAPIs again in the current processing unit.
It is also not permitted to call the PRECOMMIT more than once in a processing unit.
7. Recommendation "COMMIT WORK AND WAIT"
If an object created in a processing unit is to be used in a subsequent processing unit (for example, as an account assignment object in a G/L account posting) it is recommended to call the commit work with the supplement "AND WAIT" or to set the parameters for the BAPI "BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT" accordingly.
8. Field Selection
The field selection is a tool for influencing the user interface (that is, for the dialog). In the BAPIs, the settings from the field selection (for example, fields that are not ready for input or required-entry) are not taken into account.
9. Using a date in the BAPI interface
The BAPI must be provided with the date in the internal format YYYYMMDD (year month day). No special characters may be used.
As a BAPI must work independent of user, the date cannot and should not be converted to the date format specified in the user-specific settings.
10. Customer Enhancements of the BAPIs
For the BAPIs used to create and change project definitions, WBS elements, networks, activities, and activity elements, you can automatically fill the fields of the tables PROJ, PRPS, AUFK, and AFVU that have been defined for customer enhancements in the standard system.
For this purpose, help structures that contain the respective key fields, as well as the CI include of the table are supplied. The BAPIs contain the parameter ExtensionIN in which the enhancement fields can be entered and also provide BAdIs in which the entered values can be checked and, if required, processed further.
CI Include Help Structure   Key
CI_PROJ BAPI_TE_PROJECT_DEFINITION   PROJECT_DEFINITION
CI_PRPS BAPI_TE_WBS_ELEMENT   WBS_ELEMENT
CI_AUFK BAPI_TE_NETWORK   NETWORK
CI_AFVU BAPI_TE_NETWORK_ACTIVITY   NETWORK ACTIVITY
CI_AFVU BAPI_TE_NETWORK_ACT_ELEMENT   NETWORK ACTIVITY ELEMENT
Procedure for Filling Standard Enhancements
Before you call the BAPI for each object that is to be created or changed, for which you want to enter customer-specific table enhancement fields, add a data record to the container ExtensionIn:
STRUCTURE:    Name of the corresponding help structure
VALUEPART1:   Key of the object + start of the data part
VALUEPART2-4: If required, the continuation of the data part
VALUPART1 to VALUPART4 are therefore filled consecutively, first with the keys that identify the table rows and then with the values of the customer-specific fields. By structuring the container in this way, it is possible to transfer its content with one MOVE command to the structure of the BAPI table extension.
Note that when objects are changed, all fields of the enhancements are overwritten (as opposed to the standard fields, where only those fields for which the respective update indicator is set are changed). Therefore, even if you only want to change one field, all the fields that you transfer in ExtensionIn must be filled.
Checks and Further Processing
Using the methods ...CREATE_EXIT1 or. ...CHANGE_EXIT1 of the BAdI BAPIEXT_BUS2001, BAPIEXT_BUS2002, and BAPIEXT_BUS2054, you can check the entered values (and/or carry out other checks).
In the BAdI's second method, you can program that the data transferred to the BAPI is processed further (if you only want to transfer the fields of the CI includes, no more action is required here).

Problem regarding SAP Project System & Material Management

Hello Experts,
please check our process as below:
Order confirms than sales order and project will create
material of BOM is assigned to any activity in project so these material (RM) will be procured and consumed
assign activity for all work done on material to produce FG or SFG.
confirm activity whenever any work done like fabrication done so confirm and its cost comes to WBS.
than we have to subcontracting process so dispach SFG from this and receive after activity done by third party.
than more work is done and confirm these activity. than after all work done we get FG in stock. than delivery from project.
We are facing issue in above business process of our client as below:
1. process of subcontracting using project system as we are not using production planning. how we get any SFG for subcontracting process.
2. if we confirm all activities and consume all Raw Materials than how we will get finished good in our project stock for delivery.
3. after delivery from project how sales order affects with regards to completeness of this sales document.
Please help for this.
Note: Remember we are not using PP cos customer require detailed report of these process and capacity planning etc.
Thanks
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Assume this is my project structure & attached components. I will procure this components externally. After GRN, This components will be issued to network with 581 Q movement type.
Now we need to assemble this raw material to produce our FG, As these SFG are in our project stock. What we need to do for assembly process through PS.
Also throw some light over benefit of using PS-BOM interface ( CN33 ) for attaching material components.

Cost plannin in Project Systems

Hello SAP PS Gurus,
I am working on implementing SAP project systems for the client
that I am currently with.
I am having problems in cost planning for my WBS elemented related activity. for example when i confirm an activity my actuals are getting updated in the actuals column whereas my planned isnt getting updated even though i have done my planning through KP26 and also through CJR2. please advice what is the right way to do planning or assign costs for activities.
i dont know if i am missing something.
your feedback as soon as possible would really be appreciated.
Thank you

Material To be Valuated in Project System

Hi All,
We are implementing PS,MM,SD,FI &CO for a companay which works essentially on engineer to order scenario and using vlauated projec stock & actvity account assigned networks
Inhouse production is through typical assembly processing process - Where input & output materials are transferred through BOM PS Transfer from WBS BOM.
Input materials are issued to activity; work performed by work centers are entered by confirmation; at completion of work out put materials is 'Received from activity'. Both material issue and receipt are done wrt reservation.
When this is done, as per standard process, the cost addition (and hence value addition) is to activity and thereby to WBS element. The output material is not valuated. All the cost(or values) become project value which will reflect in WIP calculation. WIP is calculated as month end process.
At month end if the company wants to know the current asset from project and relevant stocks:
= WIP of project + Inventory value of the mmaterials.
Pl. note that only input materials i.e. raw materials and Bought out materials will have inventory value; the output material will not have any value.
The process is alright and I think we are alos complying to Accounting stanadard for project system - directive from Institute of Chartered accounts - India.
This process was first aceeptable to customer; but now they say - the out put materials should be valuated. So that, when inventory value is taken - it is RM+BO and valuated semifinished +valuaed finished materials
One big reason they say is that they have to show inventory value to the Banks.
Now I need clarification in following points
1. How to valuate the out put material when working only with project system. (apart from using user exit )
2. If this is done, the project cost/WIP calculations will show ups amd downs - as goods receipt with valuated value will be with sign - this will reduced the cost. This will cause variuos problems - almost no standard SAP PS cost report will reflect the reality - WIP can not go up and down...This is illogical.
3. Have you faced similar situation in implementation - that - Banks can not be conviced about this PSway of WIP calculation? Taking into consideration that project implementation is in India - an experienced reply can be very helpful
Thanks and regards
A.Saravanan

Dear Pradeep,
When we work with network/activity/wbs element, Finished material is assigned to activity with sign. This means GR can be done. Technically system treats lke by-product. This material will not be valuated with in put costs...since there is no logic...For our convention, one WBS element, one network or one activity can be used to book all related costs..but still GR will happen with valuation as per valuation variant in NW only. This is quite logical and correct.
So...customer wants to know the cost of manufacturing a complex project assembly..then process under one WBS element..cost accumuated at that WBS element is cost of mfg. I have kept such finihed material std price at Rs.1. (Ideally it should be '0'.). Meaning material will not valuated.
Now if customer wants to knwo the cost ...look at WBs element
If needed, you can do unit costing and update the value in a suitable field in material master.
Therefore, I have kept all the semifinished/finished material std price at Rs.1.
This way..std functions of PS like RA, costforecasting are work properly.
For WIP calculation, this is of standard method and WIP will be current asset of company..this will be acceptable to Banks...one concern I had..cross checked with a Banker.
Another issue was sub-contracting. In India during S/C..we have Delivery challan and legal requirement of excise. We developed a program integrating dc, excise challan, transfer posting, goods issue against reservation and mateials assigned in activity. For user it will appear as one transcation, and system will propmt/list appropriate excise challan No. based on dc no & material as input...(I hope i remember right).
Again here GR of seni/finished naterial was atRs.1. since Service cosst, matarial issue cost get booked at activty.
Thanks and regards
