How to delete/close WBS elements

Hello Guys,
We are facing following issues - We have some WBS elements that has not been migrated from company code XX (now incative). Now we canot close those WBS and we are getting errors when posting Settlements (CJ8G/CJ88).
Error - Asset under construction not completely credited.
There are some old bookings on the WBS (total sum = 0) but SAP does not allow us to close it. As this is already closed company code we cannot create assets here anymore.
Do you know if there is a way to close or delete such WBS elements?
Thank you..

Hi Tushar,
Following the screenshot sent by Tomas, there are many steps which needs to be carried out before setting the deletion flag for the WBS element. One is to ensure that the mandatory fields for the asset are filled as rightly pointed out, second is to ensure deactivating the asset, third is to delete the existing PO's/PR's associated with the project. This will ensure that the WBS element is back in its original state which will then allow us to mark the deletion flag or set the WBS element as deleted. However cant we close the WBS element and then try to set the deletion flag? Is this a wrong practice you feel?
Kindly advise
Regards
Varun

How to delete the last element of a collection without iterating it?

how to delete the last element of a collection without iterating it?

To add to jverd's reply, even if you could determine the last element, in some collections it is not guaranteed to always be the same.
From HashSet:
It makes no guarantees as to the iteration order of the set; in particular, it does not guarantee that the order will remain constant over time.

How to find the WBS element for the payment document?

Dear All,
How to find the WBS element in the payment document?...I know in payment doc there will not be any WBS but is there any option where I can find in any of the Tables.
I am in the process of developing a Z report where i need to fetch the payment documents based on WBS. Can any one please help me on this.

Hi Ram,
As you are not giving any input of WBS at the time of payment you cannot fetch this directly. But to know the WBS for the reporting purpose on which WBS the payment has been made, you can develop a Z-Report. The WBS elements of clearing documents against the payment entry can be fetched out.
In this report if there is a single payment against many invoices also possible with different invoice and WBS elements to be displayed on the Z-Report

How to delete a UI element in a "safe" way?

When I delete/cut/copy a UI element from a project.
I cannot rebuild/archive the project due a "classpath" problem.
The project's structure is damaged and a lot of errors are generated.
1) How to delete UI elements from the layout without damage the project's structure?
2) If the project's structure is damaged. Is there an easy way to fix it?
(I tried the "repair" option from project name's context menu - didn't help).
Also, I tried to "organize imports" - didn't help either.

Thanks, Omri

Well, failing everything else, there is a way to do this if you have deleted an element and the project has become damaged.
In your Windows file explorer, browse to the project directory, search for and delete all the ".class" and ".java" files. Now browse through all the project subdirectories, open every file in Notepad, and search for references to the object which you deleted, and delete those references.
You need to be really careful when you do this, because you can totally ruin the Web Dynpro project. But if done correctly, it can revive a project which has run into the problem which you describe.

How to set Statistical wbs element?

hi,everyone. i'm a green hand in PS.
i know Statistical wbs element is different from normal wbs element from you guys.
but i don't know how to set a Statistical wbs element, i mean how to make a normal wbs element become a Statistical wbs element?
regards,
tiger wu

Yes, if you choose this (in which the Statistical check box is ticked) to create a project, all the WBS will be statistical.
To create a project in which some of the WBS are statistical and some are not, you don't need to configure this (check Box) in Project profile. You can create a project (CJ20N) and for WBS elements on control tab, you can check this or leave it.
Hope it helps.

How to find parent wbs element from child wbs element

Hi ,
I have a WBS element . How to find its parent WBS element . What should be the logic and table fields should i consider ? Please help me , its urgent.

You can use the BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO function module to get this info.
The function is very well documented, and it looks like the table E_WBS_HIERARCHIE_TABLE should have the WBS heirarchy in it.
Hope this helps.

How to delete a cost element

I am unable to do a settlement for order number 6000110 as I get the message Complete alloacation structure in A1.
I know the cause of this problem is due to an incorrect posting which has already been reversed, thereby reflecting no charges to the cost element . However, the actual cost element and its description still appear under the order 6000110.
I do not want to extend the structure to include the incorrect cost element 60503 as the range starts from 80000 to 89999.
Is there any way I can remove this cost element so that it does not display under order number 6000110 ?

Hi NIketa
Whats the detailed error message? Can you paste that here?
Also, check the following, which may resolve your issue
1. If you are settling to the Top most WBS, i.e. to the project itself, do not do that... Settle it to a lower level WBS, atleast one level lower than the project...
2. Check if the status of that WBS is REL (released) and
3. The flag for "acct asst elem." is checked in the WBS element

How to create dummy wbs elements

Hi,
for annual closing i have to make some dummy WBS elements to transfer the balance from existing ones.
What is difference between original wbs elements and dummy ones.
Or they are just the same configurationwise.

There is no true dummy WBS like a dummy profit center. It is project master data and set up determines what it will do and not do. They are the same config wise. FYI there is a carryforward function that can be used at eoy.
pls assign points to say thanks.

How to delete photos in Elements 12 Organizer?

Been using Elements 6 for years. Bought E12 to go with a new iMac. I am totally bewildered by 12. Simple 1 or 2 click things have become procedures.
Like deleting pictures from the Organizer... the Delete function is grayed-out in the pull down menu. Jeez, it seems like a fairly simple thing to do, but I can't find an answer in either of the two books I now own and the darn video tutorials I've sat through! Your help is appreciated!

Just fixed the typos!

Have you tried clicking once on the photo you want to delete and then press DEL button? This should do the trick.
This deletes the image from the catalog but if you want to delete the HD then check the box shown in this picture:

Physical deletion of WBS elements from PRPS table

Hi Experts,
In CJ20N transaction:
When I delete a project with project profile (ZABC), the following actions are performed:
- The project entry are physically deleted from 'PROJ' table.
- The WBS entries are physically deleted from 'PRPS' table.
When I delete another with with project profile (ZXYZ), the following actions are perfomed:
- The project entry are physically deleted from 'PROJ' table.
- The WBS entries are NOT physically deleted from 'PRPS' table.
What is the reason for not deleting entries physically from PRPS table?
Thank you for your valuable answers.

Hi Experts,
In CJ20N transaction:
When I delete a project with project profile (ZABC):
- The project record is completely deleted from 'PROJ' table.
- The WBS records are completely deleted from 'PRPS' table.
When I delete another project with different project profile (ZXYZ):
- The project record is completely deleted from 'PROJ' table.
- The WBS records are NOT deleted from 'PRPS' table.
What is the reason for not deleting records from PRPS table for another project (Project profile: ZXYZ)?
Thanks in advance for your valuable answers.

How to delete single MRP element line item

Hi gurus,
I need to delete a SINGLE line item for an MRP list for materials. Is there a transaction to do this?
I have tried MD08, but that only deletes whole lists. I am trying to clear out old elements that are years old in my list for a material.
I will reward useful answers
Thanks!

Hi,
It's very difficult to say what to do since I cannot see what you see, and I do not know anything about your system.
In MRP there are: stock, requirements (IndReq, DepReq), transactional data (PO, SO, Delivery, PurRqs, etc)
1. What you should do is to define which materials are related in this issue.
2. Which kind of MRP elements are related (you have got old requirements, transactional data, etc?).
If you have old requirements you should find the source of them. DepReq cannot be deleted > they come from higher levels > you should find where they come.
Do they derive from old transactional data?
Do they come from higher and higher level, I mean there are IndReqs, SOs for FG?
(you can use 'pegged' function if you click on the MRP element)
If you know from which kind of source they come (only they come from old transactional data or from IndReq, SO) > you should eliminate them accordingly.
A. If they come from SO, IndReq you can use the steps written by me in my previous message. (You can use MD62 to delete old IndReq).
B.
If they come from old transactional data, you have to find the way to eliminate them. Maybe you cannot eliminate them by mass processing, I do not know.
But you canmake groups / categorize the transactional data > after that maybe you can use mass change / handle them accordingly.
I mean if you have SO and Delivery, you cannot delete the SO when Delivery refering to that SO exist.
So, in case of requirements please delete the requirements (IndReq, SO) that exist at highest level and running MRP you will get rid of a lot of mess (top > down). In case of transactional data the strategy is the opposite: bottom > up.
If you get error messages > double click on it and read what SAP says > if it's not clear search for the number of the error message on the forum.
Sorrowfully, I cannot help in case of HU, I do not know them.
