Hours spent on a WBS

HI all,
My company wants to input Hours spent by month somewhere in the WBS master record. Do you know where this can be done? I will also need 2 more fields where I can enter the Employee name and an ID.
Any help will be appreciated
thanks
Brian

Try OPS1, there are 6 fields you can use. They can be the type of text, quantity, date, and value.
Enter then this user defined fields to projet prfile OPSA...
Standart SAP explanation:
There are the following user-defined fields, defined in the R/3 System:
General text fields
You can use these fields to enter your own data, for example:
information on people responsible
information on substitutions/proxies
internal phone numbers
quantity fields and their units
You can also define formula parameters for quantity fields. The formula parameters are used in for example, work center formula calculation or network costing.
Value fields and their units
Date fields
You can use these fields to enter internal start data, for example.
Checkboxes
Here, you can enter information for analyses in the Information System.
The key words for the user-defined fields are determined by a key word ID.
Further notes
Please note that the contents of user-defined fields is not checked by the SAP System.
You can make your own enhancements (i.e. customer-specific functions) to the user-defined fields.
The enhancement CNEX0001 is available for you to do this in development class CN (application development R/3 PS Project management). Create a check of user-defined fields

Transfer of hours spent between projects

Hi,
We have a very simple setup of projects, through CJ2B where I'm trying to investigate a small business wish:
We would like to have the complete number of hours spent on a specific project to figure as a single operation on another project.
Basically I want the project manager to just see 1 operation in his/her project and not having to worry about structure or allocations of this "sub-project". ie a development project using a delivery center in another department without having to know or allocate the ressources there.
It this possible?
I've looked around a bit, and know that a lot of people talk about WBS Elements, but we dont use cost/budgetting on these projects, its simply to collect the hours spent on the projects.
Have anyone tried this?
Thanks in advance.
/Michael

My apollogies for not making my problem clear enough. I'll try to clarify with an example:
Project A consists of 4 operations, with a number of allocations:
<Project A - New system>
Scope
      - employee 1
      - employee 2
      - employee 3
Development
      - "Project B - Development"
Test
      - employee 1
      - employee 2
Implement
      - employee 1
      - employee 2
However the "development" operation is oursourced to another department and therefor the project manager should not worry about allocations on this operation. He just allocated the development project to the task.
From the development departments point of view they see their own project; Project B - Development with their own ressource allocations.
<Project B - Development >
Requirement
      - employee x
      - employee y
      - employee z
Development
      - employee x
      - employee y
Deliver
      - employee y
      - employee z
So now comes the project reporting:
- When Project B is asked to report hours spent of Project they pull the hours registered in CATS for their project.
- When Project A pulls hours registrered in Cats, is shows hours spent on Project A + Project B
Thus Project B and all of its operations is a sub project of Project A.
Is this possible to implement in PS? Or is it too tricky and should be handled manually by the reports?
It would surprise me, if no one has tried doing this before?

Capture travel time expenses and working hours spent on the service call

Hi Experts,
I have One Year AMC contract with my customer.Under AMC he called me for 10 times.I need to
Capture travel time expenses and working hours spent on all the service call, Non of them will be billed to the customer.
This is just for our internal tracking.this particular data will reside within the office premises.
Explain how efficiently we can track this particular requirement in SAP Business One
Regards,
Vikram

Hi Vikram
You will notice on the item master records that there is a field called Item Type. The options are Item, Labor and Travel. In order for the service module to recognize the expense or charge type, either Labor or Travel must be select. Create a service item (untick inventory item) and choose the Item Type as Labor or Travel. When you now create a Delivery/Invoice from the expenses section of the service call, it will identify and warn you if you charge the customer, as this would be defined in your service contract template as non billable charges. You can still create a Delivery for the charges and put quantities and values on the Delivery document. In this case you are not going to invoice the customer for the charges, so you can "Close" the Delivery. Just be aware that closing the Delivery will post the value to an offset account defined in the Account Determination.
The benefit of this approach is that the Delivery will post a debit and credit in your G/L that will "accrue" what the costs are of servicing the customer. My suggestion would be to set the account determination for the Labor/Travel item(s) to item level and define the Revenue/Expense accounts to specific G/L accounts.
Let me know if you need more information or assistance with the above.
Kind regards
Peter Juby

I am unable to connect AE to Zeppelin(old style) to enable wireless streaming, hours spent on phone to Apple.Is it not possible?

I purchased an AE to connect to my Zeppelin(old type) to enable me to play my itunes library through it using Ipad/Iphone remote as i do with Apple TV/Mac etc but despite all efforts(spent 2 hours on phone with Apple support) still will not connect. I popped into Apple shop today in Liverpool and the guy there said what i want to do is not possible via the Zeppelin, having done some research i thought he was wrong.Any ideas?

There are various ways to add a laserjet to a network.
What brand and model is the wireless router?
What operating system does the computer use (preferably one that is on the same wireless network the printer is intended for)?
Does your network use a DHCP server (most home routers have this enabled by default)? If so, is there any reason you want to use a static IP address over DHCP for your network?

Assigning hours directly to a WBS without Network and activities

I am setting up a Capital project without the use of activities and Networks. Thus confirmation will be assigned to WBS.
Can hours confirmations form CATS be assigned directly to the WBS without the use of Activities?
As I understand you need to set up the Data entry profiles
Your help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Johnny

Hi Johnny,
Yes, set up a data entry profile which accepts the WBSE as receiver, create a simple HR personnel number & start your postings. It is this simple.
You can test the same in your dev system. use CAT2 / CATS_APPR_LITE / CATA Tcodes.
Find the actuals on WBSE in standard reports.

Tables for Budget allocated and spent for a WBS element

Dear experts,
I am new to PS domain, kindly tell me the table names where I can find the Budget allocated to a WBS element and Open budget for a WBS element.
Thanks & Regards,
Murthy.

Hi,
I think by conversion cost you mean Production cost of the turbine.
Since you do both the actvities Material procurement and production under the same WBS. The budget cannot be tracked separelty.
Have 2 different WBS strucute one for procurement and one for production. However you can add the existing Nwk activities to these WBS.

After 30 man hours spent on trying to get everything in sync:

I have learned that:
1/ the data on iCloud has to be considered the data base that is in control.
2/. Shut down other devices that are using iCloud. They will continue to sync while you are trying to clean up your calendar entries and contacts.
3. Most of the calendar duplicates are not duplicates, but are the same appointment in different time zones. If you look at your calendar entries in outlook with the list view, you can see the different times.
4/. The only way to get rid of the duplicates is to login to your iCloud account using Safari. I found the week view the easiest to work in. it is as low and tedious process, but it does work. If you have another windows device, you can open up outlook and watch the duplicates go away.
5/. The best thing to do is the delete all of your contacts and calendar entries in all of your windows devices. Thia can be done by looking at the entries in the outlook list view and doing a control A followed by a delete. This was the most frightening step, because I have always considered my outlook data to be the source data for other devices. I did backup all of my outlook date using the export command. I may never use the backup, but I feel more comfortable knowing that it exists somewhere other than iCloud.
6/. Tasks works for me as is. therefore, I didn't delete the tasks.
7/ I still can't get my me.com email to work in outlook. I will just get that on my iPad and iPhone until Apple fixes that mess.
Good luck and thanks for the lack of help Apple.

1) CDs are apparently a dying physical media. They anticipate that digital downloading will replace buying CDs in the next few years (sounds like a sales tactic to me...)
OK, but that has nothing to do with the music that you have already bought on CD.
2) It's easier to retrieve music that you buy from iTunes than is anything else if something were to happen to my iPhone.
Keep a backup!
3) The music is in AAC which is smaller than MP3 and sounds better (I don't have a home theater system in my room nor do I have a sound system in my car).
That is an old-fashioned belief left over from the days of 128 kb/s encoding. At 256 (which is the rate now used by most online music download stores including iTunes and Amazon) MP3 and AAC are equivalent in audio quality. And at 256, they are all the same size.

SM 4.0 - Is it possible to write spent hours through SM 4.0

Hi everyone,
I've had a very urgent question from the head of my department:
Is it possible to write my spent time/hours via the Solution Manager to a SAP-managed time sheet (like CATS)?
For example:
When I receive a call/support message and let's say that the start time begins when the status is changed to "In process" and the end time is when the status is changed to "Confirmed". The time between the beginning and ending should be logged/written somewhere. If we work on an hourly basis, then we eventually must bill all the spent hours to the customer.
I searched everywhere, but I cannot find anything..
Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
With kind regards,
Michael Sital

Dear Michael,
It is possible to do this. With the right customizing in the IMG concerning the integration between Solution Manager and R/3. You should be able to fill in the hours spent on a certain service product in a Service confirmation (a follow-up transaction of support message).
When the spent hours are filled in a Service confirmation and you set the status of the confirmation to "completed". It will transfer the spent hours to CATS. Or if you set the item category of the confirmation to billing relevance it will also transfer the amount and the price to the Billing due list, so you can create a billing document of it.
Hope this information will help you get a little bit further on your research.
Regards,
Anthony Lim

Best program to monitor time spent on FCP, Motion, Soundtrack Pro?

I run a small company as a free lance doc-film maker and was wondering if anyone could recommend the best program for keeping track of time spent working on Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Soundtrack Pro projects for my clients.
I'd like a program that tracks how long I spend on each Final Cut Studio application, like that I can itemize my billing to clients...so many hours spent editing in FCP, doing effects in Motion, even internet research on Safari when looking for photographic/film archives.
Thanks very much in advance to anyone who can help me,
- Nicholas

In general I'd say a spreadsheet or text document and your own diligence are close enough to get an idea, as charging for the time spent in software isn't going to make you a lot of money.

Freelance Q: Client wants lower fixed price - I want hourly rate

I worked for a client's contact in January on a 300 page submission in the 1st round of 2 to win a project (8 candidates). The submission involved designing and doing the production work on 32 separate segments of the submission, with lots of text, images, and diagrams. At the time my fees were based on an hourly rate up to 120 hours (my estimate of how long the job could take). Beyond that I had to gain permission to continue.
Production went very smoothly and my relationship with all parties was excellent throughout, with the client, contact and other contributors sending content really fast. Through the 160 hours there were probably up to 40 hours spent editing and re-editing text, and adapting layout with the contact's rep sitting with me.
I reached the 120 hours ceiling at 75% complete, got permission to push on, and eventually finished on 160 hours. Hourly rate was paid the whole time. I worked on average 9 hours per day.
The submission was successful, and proceeded to the 2nd and final round (3 candidates).
I've now been asked to take part in the 2nd round, and the deadline is 14 days away (including 2x weekends and 1x national holiday). The submission will comprise 9x documents, each ranging from 30-100 sides of A4 or A3. Total page count will be 500 sides. I've been given a brief with the names and major headings of each of the documents. Some of the content, as yet an unknown % but certainly no more than 30%, will come directly from the 1st round submission. There is no real re-design, the client is happy with the design - it's mostly a production task.
I was asked to submit an estimate to my client, which I did, and then got passed on to the contact. I set a ceiling of 120 hours (8.5 hours per day at this stage) to do the work. The contact has responded to my client saying he has a budget of X for the work (less than my ceiling), and if I can do it for that I will get the job. The budget equates to 100 hours of time (7 hours per day at this stage).
Based on how the contact edited and re-edited the same information for 40 hours in the 1st round, I'm loathe to end up working for free once we go beyond 100 hours. I also would like to get this project, and help complete what I started.
Does anyone have any advice on how to go forwards with this? Any help much appreciated.
Take the project as offered at 100 hours, and swallow any extra time?
Lower my ceiling to 100 hours, but need permission to continue and charge at hourly rate after that?
Offer 5% discount on hourly rate beyond 100 hours?

I use freelancers almost exclusively. The biggest problem with hourly rate is that freelancers milk the job to death. That's the reality with hourly rate. I've figured on 12 hours, doubled it to cover myself and I get an invoice with 60 hours and I take a bath.
So what I do with my freelancers and clients is this: I agree to pay freelancer a flat rate (say $800 for a brochure) that includes up to 12 hours and 3 ronds of revisions. After that I pay $40/hr. With the client, I give them the same parameters: $1200 for brochure includes up to 12 hours which include 3 rounds of revisions. After that I invoice at $75 hour. Client is notified in writing at the 9 hour mark and signs off on paying the hourly rate after 12 hours.
As an employer, I have to protect against a freelancer taking forever and as an agency, I have to protect against clients doing revision and revision after revision without compensation for my extra expenses.
In your case, you have to decide if this is going to be long term relationship. If you think it will or would like it to, you may need to negotiate a middle ground. And in this economy, someone will gladly do the job at less than you're getting paid. But as a professional, you should be fairly compensated.
Edit: Generally speaking, the longer the project goes on, the lower the rate. Similar to buying an item in quantity. Gets much cheaper as the hours mount.
For instance, On an advertising campaign I charge $150/hr (or project rate) to come up with a concept, then $100/hour for 2-3 mockups. Once client approves look, I charge $75 hour for production. Mind you, I'm hiring people to do whatever: PS, layout, illustration, etc. If you're over the 100 hour mark this has to be straight production which I wouldn't pay a freelancer more than $20-$30 hour.

WBS Actual Costs

Dear Experts,
I've created a project and i used the T-Code CJR2 for manual cost planning using Cost Element/Activity Inputs, i enterd 8 houres from a specific WBS element, activiti type and cost center for the current period and fiscal year and now i have 1200 USD as a planned costs
my concern is : how can i convert those costs to actual costs "like confirmation for network activities"

There are no of ways actual cost can come in Project, More relevant to you scenario is
1.You can use activity allocation transactions like as KB21 etc.
2. Create Work center using combination of Cost center and activity type and create network with activity give work center and hrs there -->confirm hours
However I suggest you to attend PLM 200 course.
With Regards
