  • Check on level of WBS element for capital purchase PO

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing a problem. While creating Capital purchase PO, all WBS elements are allowed. Although, system is configured in such a way that GRN can not be done for Level 1 WBS( Parent project). We want to introduce a check at PO creation level only, so that it should not take Level 1 WBS element. How can it be done( validation check can do here or not) .

    How did you set up the derivation rule???
    I think  that is where you specify a level of expenditue or  procurement.
    Thanks

  • Level One WBS Element as Acct Assignment Element

    Dear Friend's
    My user have created one project, In that there are various levels WBS Elements.
    Normally we never tick Level One WBS Element as a Acct Assignment Element.But User have made Level One WBS Element as Acct Assg Element and then Project is Released.So now I can't remove that tick because that field is Grayed out or Freezed.
    Now i wanted to Remove or Undo Release status and then I have to remove Acct Assg Element Tick.
    Pls guide me on this issue.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Sandeep N.Theurkar

    Hello,
             I had not seen this problem before. So i checked it in my system. But i didn't see this
    happening for me.
             I think once system status is in REL (released) status you cannot reverse it. According to me Acct.
    assignment field become gray only when posting is made against that WBS and not after release.
    Pls check it and inform.

  • How to make mandatory(usr01) field for level 1 wbs elements only from CJ20N

    Dear All,
    I have made mandatory for "PRPS-USR01" field from CJ20N transaction
    by using field exit. But mandatory field (usr01) is working for all wbs elements. I want to make this usr01 field mandatory for  LEVEL 1(prps-stufe), WBS ELEMENTS(prps-posid) only. Not for level 2 and level 3 wbs elements. Please let me know how to fix it.
    urgent.
    Regards,
    Karthik.

    You could envisage the use of validation rules in PS.
    Transaction OPSI or SPRO
    Create a validation with a message ID (Z)
    Create a step
    - prerequisite : PRPS-STUFE = '001'
    - Check : PRPS-USR01 <> ' '
    affect a message number

  • Config for Cost & budgeting at activity level and WBS element level in PS

    Dear GURU's,
    please suggest me how to do the spro configuration for budgeting and costing, here my requirement is I need to do cost planning and budgeting at WBS element level and Activity level. We two deferent types of projects.
    Regards,
    Bha

    Hi Bhanu,
    Cost planning in projects can be done through two techinques:
    I.  Manual cost planning (at WBS level)
    1.  Overall planning (Struture-oreiented planning)
    2.  Detailed planning (Cost element planning)
    3.  Unit costing
    4.  Easy cost planning form
    II.  Automatic cost planning using networks and assigned orders
    For customizing:  Use transaction OPUV  and enter the required entries for cost planning.
    Budget can do only at WBS level.  For configuration do the following steps:
    1.  Create Budget profile - OPS9
    2.  Assign Budget profile in Project profile - OPSA
    3.  Then allot budget to your project - CJ30
    hope it will be very clear.  Appreciate with point if it useful.
    Thanks and Regards

  • How to Control authorization for users with certain status for level 2 WBS Element

    Dear All,
    Is there any standard way or enhancement available to control authorization for users with certain status for WBS Element i.e. for example
    Pre-requisite:
    There is only 2 level of project i.e.
    Lev_ WBSE_______Description
    1___ 7-14.E_______summay outage controller
    2___ 7-14.E.2310__ Plant/unit # 2310
    2___ 7-14.E.2310__ Plant/unit # 2220
    Project Controller  (authorization role assigned "Z_PS_OP7_OTGCON_C") have all project level authorization
    Plant/Unit Controller (authorization role assigned "Z_PS_OP7_PLNTOTG_C_2310") have only level 2 authorization with enhancement that we did in system by Z table.
    User ID_ Plant #
    123345_ 2310
    122455_ 2220
    Issue:
    After System Status released and User Status approved the WBS basic date for Plant/Units should be restricted from updating/changing by Plant/Unit Controller level and only project controller should have this authority.
    Solution required: 
    Can any one tell how to control this scenario either by standard or enhancement available to control authorization

  • Assign WBS AVAC not in the lowest level of WBS elements

    Dear SAP Community,
    Our client has requirement to have budget availability control in WBS element level 3 while the WBS structure is until level 5 and the actual posting will occurred in WBS element level 5.
    Our current setting is to have WBS element level 5 as Planning Element and Account Assignment Element. So, user can upload their WBS planning data from the lowest level of WBS structure. Then we copy the Planning Data as Budget through CJ30 and release it through CJ32.
    If we set the value of Budget Data in CJ30 and CJ32 until the level 5, the system check AVAC in WBS level 5 instead of the amount rolled up in WBS level 3. If we set the value of Budget Data in CJ30 and CJ32 in WBS level 3, the system will check AVAC in WBS level 3 (as we expected) but the consequence is comparison of actual vs budget in WBS level 5 will have variance 100%.
    Is there any way to define the budget data until WBS level 5 but the AVAC control is in WBS level 3?
    Appreciate your inputs
    Thank you and best regards,
    Fitria

    Hi,
    >If we set the value of Budget Data in CJ30 and CJ32 in WBS level 3, the system will check AVAC in WBS level 3 (as we >expected) but the consequence is comparison of actual vs budget in WBS level 5 will have variance 100%.
    We had similar kind of requirement, we had followed the above process. THis will provide the required functionality except the variance in reports. Try and convince the client to settle for this if this meets your requirements.
    As AVAC  can't be managed at WBS levels.

  • Result Analysis with transaction code KKAJ for Top level WBS element

    Hi Experts,
    we have four level WBS structure with level 1 and level 4 with all operative indicators active
    when we are doing Result analysis by using KKAJ for level 1 WBS element, System is taking all level 4 wbs elements also into consideration.
    Is there a way to run results analysis using KKAJ only for level 1 wbs elements for multiple projects, avoiding the level 4 WBS elements.

  • WBS Element in Production Order

    Hi Gurus,
    Just would like to briefly understand, how I can make use of the WBS Element in the Production Order (Assignment tab) to use as cost settling for a production order? How do i automate the WBS Element in the production Order for a set of given parameters? Is there a config I can use to set a profile?
    I have a scenario here as below:
    I have various types of production orders:
    PO 1 = Production A
    PO 2 = Production B
    PO 3 = Production C
    And for each of the above, I will individually have a WBS Element.
    PO1 - WBS Element A
    PO2 - WBS Element B
    PO3 - WBS Element C
    And WBS Element A, B and C is a Level 2 WBS Element which are tied to WBS Element Z (Level 1 WBS Element), which will be settled to a project.
    Appreciate your kind feedback on the above on how I can make it work by settling the cost to the WBS Element.
    Thanks.

  • PS: How to get the hierarchy of a level 1 WBS only?

    Hi,
    This corresponds to Projects System module.
    If we have 5 level 1 WBS elements.Out of them if I want to get only the WBS hierarchy corresponding to a level 1 WBS element (say 2nd level 1 WBS element).
    I know that we can get all the WBS elements' hierarchy from BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO. But I want the hierarchy for only one level 1 WBS element not for all. How?

    you could read them from SETNODE table with SETCLASS = '0110'

  • Profit Center not updating for WBS Element

    Hello Gurus,
    We have a scenario in which we have level 1 WBS element to which their is no cost and revenue. Now we have level 2 WBS element which is billing element to which we are posted some actula cost and revenue. Below this we are creating level 3 , 4 WBS elements and posting some actual cost to it  (not billing elements).
    So we are running RA and Settlement for this billing WBS.
    Now if over project is over so we are assigning TECO to this Level 2 billing WBS. When we are running POC then it is 100 %. But when we are running settlement then it is showing error as Maintain Settlement Rule for XXX WBS element (level3 , level 4)
    As we are not maintaining any settlement rule for level 3 , level 4. We are only assigning settlement rule for Level 2 (billing) to PSG.
    So how to solve this issue ?
    Regards
    Keshav

    Hi,
    The answer is there in your query itself. You say that you are booking some actual costs on the WBS elements on level 3. Since you are incurring costs on these WBS elements these costs need to be settled to some receiver. Either the WBS on level 2, which is a billing element or to some PSG. Since there is no settlement rule defined for these WBS elements at level 3 system is throwing this error.
    Maintain a proper settlement rule for the WBS elements in question and then run the settlement. It should work.

    Gokul

    Hi Manoj,
    I need to understand your process in more detail.
    How do you procure?  Create a sales order with TAS item category to create a PReq and PO?
    Very simple explanation: Resource Related billing/DIP profiles are used to accumulate costs on WBS elements and then bill the client as needed.

  • Settling the costs of a parent WBS elements

    Dear experts,
    i have a cost project consist of 3 levels work break down structure:
    level 1: a root WBS element
    level 2: splited into 2 WBS elements (Production - Maintenance)
    level 3: spliting each WBS element of the above level into 3 WBS elements (Service - Materials - Labour)
    actual postings ONLY is against level 3 WBS elements and the costs is acomulated to level 2 and then to level 1
    but my customer wants to settle ONLY level 2 WBS elements (Production - Maintenance).
    so...
    i maintained settlement rules only for level 2 WBS elements (Production - Maintenance)
    level 3 WBS elements  (Service - Materials - Labour) are assigned settlement profile
    90, which has the setting "Not for settlement".
    when i tried to run settlement for level 2 WBS elements (Production - Maintenance) i failed coz i got 3 "Nor relevant" and 1 "No change"
    so, my question is: is it possible to settle aparent WBS element in which there's no actual costs has incurred "has no actual costs of its own", however, it only has childs WBS elements that have actual costs

    If you read your post carefully you will understand what mistake you are doing. Read SAP Help and search forum regarding settlement you will find the answer for this
    so, my question is: is it possible to settle aparent WBS element in which there's no actual costs has incurred "has no actual costs of its own", however, it only has childs WBS elements that have actual costs

  • Create WBS Element under Specific existsing Level1 WBS Element

    Hi friends,
           In a Project definition, once the User creates the Level 1 WBS Element,
    I need to Create a Level 2 WBS Element by default. Please suggest me any function modules or BAPI
    to Create the WBS element under Particular WBS Element.
    I checked the BAPI BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI
    I hope it creates WBS elements, but not under Specific WBS element.
    I am checking the function module CJWB_CREATE_PRPS
    Please suggest how to go ahead.........
    Thanks in Advance,
    Ganesh

    wbs cant b created under network,
    just go to cj20n, select network/activity, then right click there, u ll never see any wbs element in create tab.
    Graphically network is above a wbs in cj20n, does not mean that wbs is coming under network.
