Hi
I assume you want to implement cross charge functionality between separate operating units.
For that you need to setup in the provider OU a separate project for each receiver OU. The projects must be of special project type, which has check box as InterCompany billing project enabled.
On such projects you are not supposed to create a budget, nor to enter events. Those projects are used by the system as a place to hold the cross charge invoices generated out of the actual projects. Actual projects are the projects of the receiver OU, which yor provider OU had charged.

Project intercompany invoice generation is fetching error

Hi,
I am trying to generate intercompany invoice from the intercompany billing project and getting the error "The Project has no eligible or events".
While I was checking the implementation guide for any possible error in the setups, I found below details in R12 project implementation guide.
”To define agreements for intercompany billing, enter the receiver operating unit as the
customer, and an agreement type defined for intercompany billing"
I am little confused If I can use an operating unit as a customer to define an agreement.
In my current setups, I have created an agreement with the customer associated to the intercompany project and used this agreement to fund the intercompany project.
Please help.
Regards,
Mukesh

Hi
The intercompany project (A) is not the contract project (B) that you execute for an external project. On Project B you will charge the resources and track the costs of both, the receiver operating unit and the provider operating unit.
Project A is a special project, where the project type is a specific one for intercompany billing. This project A should be setup in the provider operating unit and its project customer should be another operating unit, the receiver operating unit. The receiver operating unit should be set up also as the agreement customer.

Queation on Intercompany Projects

Hi Experts,
Could someone suggest me if there is a way to create an event against an intercompany project. We have tried creating a manual event but the project did not show up in the list of values of the events window.
Please let us know if there is a way to create an event for intercompany projects by using billing extension or any other means.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
There is no simple solution I know of.
You may consider the following approaches.
Solution A:
Stay with cross charge and intercompany billing.
Set up two special expenditure types that will be used to hold the markup amount. For each provider organization enter two EI's on the project, for 1000 USD on expenditure type A and -1000 USD for expenditure type B. You might need to enter such pair of expenditure items each period before running the cross charge and intercompany billing.
Develop a client extension for the transfer price rule of the cross charge. The logic will be to leave transfer price equal to the provider cost for all expenditure types. But for expenditure type A, calculate the markup amount that cover the summary of all regular costs on that period.
The EI's for expenditure types A & B should get the same GL accounting so they will not affect project cost. However the transfer price of the positive EI will be added to the intercompany invoice.
Solution B:
Setup the cross charge rules to use burden schedule with zero multiplier, so the cross charge transactions will equal the provider organization cost. The intercompany invoices will include those costs without any markup.
The calculation of the markup amount and invoicing for that amount will be done separately, in additional invoices.
For that setup provider projects in the provider organizations. the provider project setup will be set to bill a receiver project and task which is the original project where work is perform. Those provider projects will not be chargeable.
Develop a billing extension that will be linked to the GDI and GDR of the provider projects. The billing extension will find the intercompany invoice of the provider organization, and calculate the markup amount that need to be added to the selected invoice cost amount. The billing extension will generate an event for the markup, and may also update a reference or attribute on the event to indicate which intercompany invoice was in its base.
When you run the GDI for the provider project, you will get internal invoice going to provider AR and from there to receiver AP. The inter-project invoice is interfaced to PA in the receiver project and charge the receiver project, which is the original project (not the intercompany project).

Prevent automatic release of intercompany project

Hi,
Currently, when an intercompany project is created from a sales order, it is automatically released. The user does not have a chance to change the project ID due to this behavior. Is there any way to prevent this from happening i.e., the project should be created in In Planning status till it is manually released. I did not see any scoping or fine-tuning to achieve this. Thanks in advance and please let me know if more details are needed.
Regards,
Harish Toppae

perhaps I can better also explain the problem.
the process now is that there is a word marco with a fill in form that collects all the data necessary to process a request.
when all data is filled in the form (like 30 seperate fields) it is send to the administration who translate the form into a serviceorder and a purchaseorder with account assignment the purchase order after it is approved. the approval however for these orders goes on paper. (for example it is about construction works like building or renovations)
Now the idea was to make the approval process digital.
first option: release strategy on PR's
problem : no knowledge on how to set this up available in the company ( I also tried to figure it out, any guide for dummies on this is appreciated)
second option:
Sent PR to SRM and let SRM do the release strategy.
advantage:
- users can approve just by clicking approve in email, they don't have to login to srm for this. (is that also possible in R3 ?)
- knowledge on how release strategy works in srm is available.
- easy to trace the approval workflow for a user.
When I think of it perhaps I can also create a shoppingcart straigth away from R3 with the bapi and skip the PR at all
BAPI_SCEC_CREATE or with BBP_PD_SC_CREATE.
third option:
programm BSP for the requirement is quite challenging since all the fields that are required before a PR or SC can be created is quite a lot. further on I have to programm the generation of a serviceorder in the backend and return the number to be set as accounting order.
if you have any other suggestions they are also more than welcome.
ps nice a pdf with instructions on how to implement enhancements which are not copy pastable
kind regards

Urgent help!!!!!!Regarding the Credit Memo for oracle project customer invoices

Hi,
Can somebody help me in this issue
we have a requirement from the users that they dont want the system to apply
the credit memo automatically on the invoice when it released from the projects
Scenario1: Invoice already been paid now they want to create a credit memo,
system dont allow them to cancel the invoice the only way as per the theory is
create a negative invoice and adjust it but the issue here is when ever you
create a negative invoice it creates as invoice not credit memo which will be
confusing to the users.
in this case can we use billing extension to create the transaction type as
credit memo when ever the invoice has negative amount?
Or let me know if there is a way to perform this step?
Scenario2: Invoice is created but they dont want to create a credit memo
against that invoice since it gets applied automatically, the customer
requirment will be they want to apply the credit memo for any future invoices
as requested
Is there a wya to have a credit memo created with out auto applying to an
invoice, so that user can apply when ever they want
what is credit memo on accoutn how it works with these above scenarios.
sicne i tried setting up but the credit meo or concession is getting appled to
the particular invoice automatically
need urgent help required on this issue !!!!!
Regards
Lavanya

Hi,
For Scenario 1 you have two options:
1) Update the AR transaction type extension for project invoice- Identify negative amount invoice and change the transaction type to project credit memo. This will update the transaction type on negative invoices before they are interfaced to Oracle AR.
This is preferred option
2) Update AR invoice Pre-processor to do the same thing.
There is no standard setup which will allow you to change trx type of negative invoices.
For Scenario2 - I dont think there is any direct way to create a credit invoice from Projects and keep it unapplied (again, apart from creating a negative amount invoice). You can create a credit memo in AR and use it to apply against future invoices.

Error in default workflow Project Supplier Invoice Charge Account

Hi,
We applied the patch for E-Business Suite extended support requirements in our clone server and we advise users to test the modules. On the AP-PA module, we received an error saying "The default workflow for the Oracle Payables account function Project Supplier Invoice Charge Account has not been customised. Please replace the dummy function in the default process for account generation by your own account generation method."
Our problem is that we do not know what has been customised and what are the setup being done. On the unpatched server, the said module/process is working.
Need your help...
Thanks,
Benjo

Hi,
do you have projects module being implemented? if that exists,the issue happens when the user is trying to enter project related information in the invoice distributions.
Ideally the systems looks in the Project supplier invoice work flow for generating the distribution CCID when the invoice is Project related.
you need to customize the standard Project supplier invoice work flow through work flow builder, by adding your Accounting flex filed segments in it and how they will get picked up ( Like Look up , parameter, constant).
Doing this will resolve the issue.
Thanks

Project Supplier Invoice Account Generation from Sub Ledger Accounting rule

Hi gurus,
we are implementing project module with the financial.
We need to customise the Project Supplier Invoice Account Generation.
We are preferring the Sub Ledger Accounting generation rule in place of the workflow method(where we need to customize the default workflow for account generation from AP to PA).
We have done the setup for the SLA to generate accounting (from AP invoices TO pa). But still we are getting the same error("the system cannot generate distributions for line 1 because payable account function Project supplier invoice charge account has not been customized. please replace the dummy function in default account generation process"
Please help me.. to solve the problem..
As Its a very urgent customization on the verge of going live..
thnkz in advance
Regards
Vishal

Hi
Customizing the Payables and Purchasing Account Generator for project related documents is mandatory. The accounting rules in SLA is optional.
Since you said you are pleased with the set up of the accounting rules by SLA, you might set up a very simplistic account generator rule, so it will generate a constant account. SLA will later on override the constant by the real rules.

Intercompany Sales Incoming Invoice references

Hi,
We have customized intercompany sales delivery related process.
We have completed SD steps successfully.
1.       Sales Order Creation
( Sales Org. 0001 in comp Code 0001, are delivered to customer from plant LY02 in comp code 002)
2.       Delivery
3.       Customer billing document
4.       Intercompany billing document
5.       Auto Incoming Invoice creation with RD04 output type
Now, what I do not understand is purchasing process that company code 0002 should create Purchase order, statistical goods receipt and incoming invoice.
I have searched oss notes and forums they all talk about incoming invoice creation with RD04.
I also completed EDI steps successfully that are triggered after RD04.
But it is not working now because I don’t have PO document yet.
I have 3 questions about this process.
Is it possible to create PO automatically?
If it is not how can I create PO document manually with reference to intercompany sales order? so RD04 finds PO and posts incoming invoice.
when should I create PO? (after creating sales order or delivery document).
Should we create statistical goods receipt document with PO reference ?
Thanks…

I have not completed the process yet.
I need an advice who have achived this before.
As I said before I customized delivery related intercompany process.
All SD steps are working fine
I have one sales order, one delivery, one billing document in delivering company
I have one billing document in selling company.
Now, I need a PO and Incoming Invoice in sales company.
how should I create PO?
which acc. assingment category should be assigned?
Should I set Goods Receipt Indicator?

Intercompany - Project

Hi Gurus,
Our company currently does intercompany reconciliations outside SAP. In order to reduce future maintainance costs, and make full use of SAP functionality to meet legal transfer pricing requirements, we plan to move the IC processes into SAP. We are on ECC6.0, and we are multinational with entities on all major continents, and with a high amount of intercompany transactions.
Based on your experience, could you tell me how to approach the project? Specifically:
1. How to break up the project, to make it more manageble?
2. What areas will require the greatest amount of focus and resources?
3. What are the major pitfalls, if any?
4. Could you also tell me what the main funtionalities that SAP provides to achieve the same, and the high level requirements to implements each functionality.
My questions are mostly from a project management persprective. If, I've posted in the wrong forum, please direct me to the right one.
Thanks in advance. I look forward to your replies.

Hi
1. How to break up the project, to make it more manageble?
First check the effecting regions either currency wise / county wise / plant wise - have a seperate company code for each of those - also create a company for each legal company - in case plant wise which are relating to only legal company assign the company to all those company codes
2. What areas will require the greatest amount of focus and resources?
Major areas like AR & AP - create customer & vendors assigning the trading partner (nothing but company) at general data level - treat these C / V as affiliated companies.
SAP has the capablitiy of posting Cross company posting - assign the clearing accounts for each combination of company codes - wherever the possibility of transactions between two company codes
3. What are the major pitfalls, if any?
Defining the Company codes is the major thing - also defining the relevant transactions which are mandatory between the company codes - identifying the relevant reports related to this
4. Could you also tell me what the main funtionalities that SAP provides to achieve the same, and the high level requirements to implements each functionality.
SAP has below functionalities :
1) Cross Company Code postings
2) Document Splitting (which gives you the below company code level FS reporting) - ECC 6.0 (before ECC using SPL)
3) Parallel reporting - using different ledgers (non leading ledgers - ECC 6.0 (before ECC using SPL)
4) To achieve above things (3 & 4) new GL should get activate in ECC 6.0

Milestone Billing in projects--Final Invoice

Hi all,
We are using Milestone billing in the project. Milestone confirmation in projects trigger the downpayment requests, partial invoice and final invoice in SD.
Everything works fine for down payment and partial invoice, but when the milestone for final invoice is confirmed in PS, the billing rule in the sales document item does'nt get removed. Consequently billing cannot take place.
Kindly thow some light on this. Is FNBL status on WBS , a must to carryout final billing ?
Warm regards,
Srinivas Potluri

Hi Srinivas,
Please check the Date Category of Milestone usage, the one u have selected for the final invioce. It should be 'Closing Invoice".
Please let me know if that resolve the issue.
Thanks,

Project Related Invoice

I have entered one Invoice in AP having Project Info in Header Level . after that i have validated the same and get accounted .
How ever this Project Information (Of Header Level) is not get defaulted in Lines and Distribution .
Actually ,my understanding is Like Project No and Task Information should get defaulted in Invoice Lines and Distribution .
Is this Correct ?
Can i transfer such Invoice to Project without Project info in Invoice Lines and Distribution although Project detail is there in Invoice Header ? ( I m in R12 Rup 6 )
Regards,
Prakhar

Hi
The header level project information should be defaulted to the lines' distributions.
Be sure you save project data on the the header before entering the lines and distribtions. This is the case when you enter an independent supplier invoice and do not match it to PO.
If you validated the invoice before the project distributions were defaulted or entered to the lines' distributions the system will not pick the header information any more.
The concurrent - PRC: Interface Suppler Cost to Projects is only picking line distributions with project data.
If you need to import those costs to Projects you will need to go back to that supplier invoice, reverse the wrong distribution, and enter it again verifying you get the project data populated on the lines' distribution.

Hi
One step and your issue will be resolved--
Field screen for G/L which is assigned in Tcode OBCB should have Quantity field as optional under Additional account assignment usingTcode-OB14
go to OB14..put your Field status variant..under your field status group (which u can get from FS00 for ur G/L)......and make Quantity field as optional
