Intergation: cProject + Earned value + Project System + Accouting

Hi,
I'm trying to intergrate cProject & Project System & accounting. currently I'm facing some problems:
PS is generated automatically from cProject (Automatically, Task base, WMS, level = 99).
I don't know how to entry actual start date for each WBS. so POC is zero. ==> BCWS, BCWP is zero too. I think actual start date have to be determined by cats or confirmation from cProject but It is not true now.
can anybody help me?
Thank you very much
Long Nguyen

Dear Long
I'm afraid that u may have to manually enter the actual start of the respective WBS element, as SAP works on the principle - actual start of the subordinate activity can be different from the actual start of the WBS Element.

CProject & Earned Value progress

Hi,
I've seen the earned value report in Evaluation of cProject, but all values such as BCWS, BCSP, ... are zero.
can anybody share with me documents of calculating earned value in cProject?
Thank you verymuch

Long Nguyen

Hi Long,
To be honest, I have never tested the functionality with POC value myself.
But the evaluation of cProjects object link is to pull the values from the ERP backend system and display it. The core logic, how to determine such values, is still 'only ' available in the ERP backend system. A similar case is to evaluate the plan, actual costs & budget from the R/3 linked objects. All the information are pulled from the ERP system.
P.S: Which evaluation do you use?
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Difference between SAP cProjects and SAP Project System

Hi,
SAP already has a solution PS ( Project System ) for managing the projects in an Organization.
When there is a solution already existing then why did SAP come up with a new solution cProjects ?
Can any help me in understanding the main differences and advantages between cProjects and PS ?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Priyatham

Hi.
I have copied an SAP text below which sets PS, cProjects, (x)RPM and PPM into context.
In the ninties, the Project System was developed within SAP R/3 to provide a powerful application with full integration into logistics and financials.
Target groups were industries such as engineering and construction, automotive, high tech or utilities with focus on project manufacturing or large maintenance projects.
Later on, the need for more flexible and easy-to-use tools supporting the new process methodologies, phased-based approaches, quality gates, and so on, emerged. SAP developed Collaboration Projects and Collaboration Folders (cProjects Suite), which takes these new requirements into account and provides extensive features to collaborate with internal and external partners using a HTML-like interface and Web Application Server technology.
Thus, cProjects was able to address to a broader range of industries, such as service providers, offering a high degree of visibility and flexibility to support various scenarios from product development to consulting projects. Nevertheless, cProjects is seen as a complementary product to Project System, not as ist successor!
It always depends on the scenario that a customer wants to cover, which application is the best choice.
As another matter of fact, combinations of both are also possible.
In addition to this, the new generation of composite applications was born and SAP xApp for Resource and Portfolio Management provides excellent capabilities to align operational project management with strategic portfolio management.
The latest developments bring all these three applications tighter together and offers a comprehensive solution for project and portfolio management by covering logistical, financial and human resource aspects and addressing the needs of all stakeholders throughout the entire organisation.
However, xRPM capabilities are not only restricted to project portfolios but can be leveraged to control all kind of portfolio items.

Setting Up Earned Value Reporting in Project Server 2010, Using Hours Not Dollars

Hello All,
Are there instructions for setting up Project Server 2010 for Earned Value data capture and reporting? I'm not certain that we are capturing the correct data to report EVM (i.e., Physical % Complete), and I was unable to find any videos on YouTube.
Also, I noticed that Project Server 2010 defaults to reporting EV in Dollars. Can we set it up to report in Hours instead?
Julie

Hi Julie,
If you allow to jump in to complement Dale's excellent reply and comment some of your concern...
5. The status date is a fundamental parameter while talking about the EVM (it is ANYWAY a key setting for tracking projects with MS Project). The EV field will take into account actuals up to this date. Meaning that if your project plans have been updated
by the PM on tuesday and you are running the analysis on friday, you set the status date to tuesday and the uncomplete work between tuesday and friday will not be considered as late work since you are running the analysis as of tuesday. The status date can
be set from the "project" tab either in the project information dialog box or directly in the project tab, status group.
6. MS Project proposes 3 EVM tables by default. A table is a predefined set of column which composes a view, together with a Gantt chart or a timephased grid. If you go to the view tab, click on "tables" then "more tables",
you will find EV, EV cost indicators and EV Schedule indicators tables which will display the out of the box EVM fields calculated by MS Project based on the costs, actuals, Baseline, status date.
Then about the cumulative data, you might be refering to S-curves which are a representation allowing you showing the cumulative values of the EV. To do that, you'll have severals ways:
Use the cumulative calculated field in the visuals reports
Create
Dashboards from the report tab using the cumulative data (actual, Baseline, cost)
Create
MDX mesures in the OLAP cubes for cumulative data and create excel reports
Develop custom SSRS reports
Buy a 3rd-party addon
Finally please let me give you an excellent reference for the EVM in MS Project with EPM Central blog articles:

XRPM, cProjects and Project Systems link in BI

Hi Guys,
We are implementing a RPM solution in our BI 7.0 system. We have a requirement where we need to link RPM data with cProjects(Project, Task) and Projects Systems (Status, WBS Elements, so on) data.
Could some one give me the links/documents related to linking the above objects.
Thanks in advance
Srinivas.

Hi Neelam:
Check Project system tables like PROJ etc and create a View for the fields you want.
Use this View as your datasource to extract data.
Thanks,

CProjects - Project Systems Linking and other features

Dear All,
              I need inputs on how to integrate cProjects with Project Systems. Also i need information on the what are all the information we can integrate between these two.
              One more important thing is i am seeing the Services, Details Data and Controlling links in My cProjects system. Where as i found Account Assignment, Costing links in one screenshot of Documents. And both are for cProjects 4.0. Why this difference is showing up
              And one generic question is, what is the requirement for these kind of scenarios. And pros and Cons of both the systems.
regards,
rajesh.

Hi Srini,
Thanks very much for the links. However, I've already gone through the standard documentation in SAP and they are a bit too high level/vague for me. I have considerable experience in xRPM, cProjects Suite and have good grasp of project management concepts, tool and techniques. My knowledge of PS is somewhat limited though.
What I am specifically looking for is what type integration options and scenarios are available. For example, cProjects can have phases and tasks defined. How would these integrate with for example WBS elements and networks in PS? What are the things you would do in cProjects and not PS and vice versa? Hope my question is clearer now.
Appreciate any further information you may have on the above.
Thanks,
Lashan

Sales Order Vs Project Systems(CNS0--Vl02n--VF01) Value&Status(Partial Disp

Dear All,
I need your suggestion in the following scenario:
This is the Partial Dispatch scenario.
Here in the Sales Order, we are attaching the FERT; Here we will give the total price of the FERT in Conditions level;
In the Project Systems level, we are attaching HALB items of FERT.
Now the flow will be We will deliver each HALB from PS through CNS0; Then by going to VL02N and do PGI; By reffering to these Deliveries,Billing(VF01) will be done for each HALB; In Billing(VF01), Pricing will be given for each HALB (since for each HALB bill will be raised seperately);
The issue here is that I need to know whether I can have a check so that Cumulatively the Billing Value of all the HALBs is in Correlation with the FERT value in the Sales Order;
Here I am creating the Bill with reference to Delivery(CNS0-Vl02n) and not with ref. to Sales Order.
(ii) Also there is one more issue in the same scenario.
Here the Sales Order status will be In Process . By reffering to the Sales Order I am just raising the Proforma Invoices for Down Payment, against Design/Engineering.
I need to know how I can make Sales Order staus as Complete.
I need your suggestion to solve these issues in a better way.

Bom dia Marc de Ruijter,
Não dá para ler sua thread, mas imagino que seu validador esteja desligado.
No GRC vá em SPRO --> SAP GRC Nota Fiscal Electronica --> Configure System Response for Each Tax Number (CNPJ)
Para ligar/desligar o Validador basta clicar no check box na coluna Validation.
Observação: Para correto funcionamento do GRC deve-se sempre utilizar o validador ligado.
Após isto refaça seu teste, é provável que você receba um erro de validação para a NF-e. Veja em GRC Web monitor -> NFe Detailed View -> Validation History.
Atenciosamente,

CProjects & Project System

Hello Friends,
I want to use the projects that created in Projects Systems(PS) in cProjects and also the vice-versa.
Could you tell me the procedure to do this?
Thanks & Regards,
Senthil.

For creating project from PS to cproject use the following method
What you can do is Create a cProjects Project usinga Badi in PS on save.
where you can use FM BAPI_BUS2172_CREATE to create Project.
Also when you make changes to PS project use Badi on save to transfer the changes to cProjects projects.
You can use Function modules like:
BAPI_BUS2172_CHANGE
BAPI_BUS2173_CHANGE
BAPI_BUS2174_CHANGE
BAPI_BUS2175_CHANGE
and so on

Linking of cproject & project system

hi guru
Can somebody please let me know the the Configuration steps & the entire process of linking Projects created in Project Systems & cProjects? How can we view the Projects in cProjects which we create in PS and vice versa? Waiting for your reply at earliest.

Hi

Earned Value with Project Web App 2013?

Hi folks,
Earned Value in Project Client is quite fine, the choice of calculate against actual or status date is a nice feature. But using Project Web App I lack the option of setting the status date - is EVA in Project Web App 2013 really restricted to the actual
date? Or is the status date set automatically by approved task updates?
Thanks
Olaf

Hi Olaf,
Unfortunately the status date cannot be set from PWA, and there is no automatic update behind. The intent is that the PM updates the status date and the tasks in MS Project Pro and the team members and executives can consult EVA from PWA.
Hope this helps,

Change Table Fields in "Costing" in with Project System (PPM 5.0)

Dear Gurus;
I need to know, how can I change fields in "Costing" with Project System (Project Management in tab name "Accounting").
The integration works well, but I need to view the values of: Actual, Plan and Commitment.
In the Standard way, just only can see the Plan (with the colum "Costs").
Please, help.
Best regards.
Mariano.
Edited by: Mariano Sabiche on Apr 27, 2011 3:17 PM

Hi Mariano
The particular screen you are referring to will only show the planning on Easy Cost Planning due to the labour costs and revenues planned on the cProject. You can use the services&deatil on the assignment - click on the WBS assigned to get the detailed list of services for the assigned WBS element. You can then click on Detail Data to get detailed data on the assigned WBS element. If you want a report with all the data, best use the BW cubes for that to combine cP and PS data.
Hope this helps
