Manual cost planning

Hi PS Gurus,
Do you know of any way for a user to set a custom distribution of costs for a network activity? For example, a cost activity is created for $100,000 which runs for 12 months. In current design, this value will be evenly distributed over the 12 months according to the factory calendar. What the user would like to do is manually adjust the profile by which these costs are planned.
Many thanks, and I hope you all are well.
Cheers, Diana

I can suggest two options:-
1. Create as many distribution profiles as possible and let the user select as per the project need.
2. Create invoice plan for general cost activity as per your distribution requirement.

Cost planning decision

hi,
Actually in PS we have diff types og Costplanning.
How can we decide this COST PLANNING will be suit for this business,any inputs.

It depends upon the business process & requirments....
just an extract from SAP HELP
You always use cost planning by means of networks if you are using complex project processing - that is, if dates and resources, as well as costs, are relevant to you.
If planning and monitoring of costs is most important, as in, say, capital investment projects or overhead cost projects, you should plan your costs using manual cost planning in the WBS

Easy Cost Planning & Project Stock

Dear Experts,
I am using Easy cost planning for WBS cost planning and Project definition control data tab page has Valuated Project stock selected.My costing model had an external procurement material for which I generated PR & PO thru Execution services.But the account assignment in my PR & PO was P with the corresponding WBS as account assignment and not Q.
I have two question regarding this,
1) Does it mean that while using ECP, Project stock concept will not work?
2)How can we get the pop up of procurement type options(like Res + PR for WBS element) while generating PR through execution services?

Hi,
I am replying again because in my last answer there was some typing mistake.
Hi,
I tried your scenario is my system.
whenever i am changing P to Q in Config in SPRO,It is giving an error that "The selected account assignment category is not supported" that means it is not meant for Q but i double click for object type PR WBS Element and changed Acct Assgmt Cat to Q then system allowed me to save.
The i create a PR and WBSE is coming in the Account Assignement ,then i converted PR to PO and then i recived goods as project stock.when i issued the material in ECP it is not issuing from Project stock because 221 Q is not present in Config for SPRO so it is issuing from Normal stock so special stock from ECP is not supported.
But you can manually issue the material to the WBSE in MIGO/MB1A by 221 Q.
Hope it is clear.

Easy Cost Planning & Project Builder

Dear All,
I would like to know whether the Material included in Easy Cost Planning be updated in Project Builder strucure. Is there any BAPI to upload material component?

I do think, that there is no functionality in standard to include the materiai in ECP into PS structure.
The material in ECP represent the costs point of view, and the material in PS structure represent typically not only the logistic view but also the costs point of view. If you manage to include the material into PS structure (e.g. manually), please avoid the double costs.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Cost planning : subsequent detailing.

Hi experts
Please suggest the best cost planning practice for the below scenario:
My client is able to plan WBS's with idea of tentative costs for each package. He is unable to assign component at this stage since he will not have adequate master data.
So, he will plan tentative costs for WBS (Manual planning)
Later, he will keep adding components for the respective package, after gatting details and master data.
At this time, how to ensure that the initial planned cost for the WBS is subtracted with the cost added up due to activity/component which has been just included.
How this differentiation can be identified with help of CO versions.
warm regards
ramSiva

Hi,
You do your high level planning in Version 1. Whe you start detailing out, do it in version 0.At any point of time you can compare the cost of version 0 and 1.Also you can copy the cost of version 0 in any other version using CJ9FS and then futher continue planning in that version. Note that actuals are only posted in version 0.
Easy cost planning or WBS manaul planning can be used in Version1, where as you can use automatic network costing in version 0.
The other option is to capture snap shot version (through project version profile) in the project each time, so that you can know the cost during different phases of the project.
Hope this helps

Hi itty,
You can trace your actual cost by either manually entering cost details or raising a purchase order against the WBS element to calculate the total cost.

Transfer cost planning to operative

hi
We r using CJ40 and unit costing where v r planning materials.
i want to transfer these planned material to be transferred to projects ( networks). How?
Regards
KP

It is not possible to transfer material codes you have used for unit cost planning. Actual material will have to be attached to network activities manually. As of now i.e. in ECC 6.0 there is no facility to transfer the material codes used in unit cost planning to be used for procurement directly. However, there is a facility called easy cost planning. Material code used there can be converted as procurement item using easy execution services.

Uploading cost element cost planning figures

Dear PS Masters,
How can we upload the cost element cost planning figures in Project System instead of entering them manually in transaction CJ40

It would be better if you could get in touch with your ABAP guys and ask them to help you out in this. Else you could search the internet and you will find lot of links that explain LSMW step by step.
Better consult your ABAP consultant.

Workforce Cost Planning and Simulation

I would appreciate any documentation for Workforce Cost Planning on ECC6 such as training manuals, configuration documents etc.
Thanks Christine

Hi,
Yes, you can manage multiple currencies in PCP. You should specify desired currency during planning, as a rule exchange rate M is used, but you can change it if you wish.
For S_ALN_01001359 probably you do not have to change anything, for S_ALN_01001361 you have to consider different approach, i.e. use positions for data collection, because you cannot assign many IT 1005 (using different curencies) to the same job. Also you can consider using average amounts in IT 1005 with unified currency, but it makes a very little business sense as salaries are different among countries.
Cheers!

Easy Cost Planning

Hi ,
I am using Easy cost planning methodlogy for Cost planning.
I need some guidance on following points.
1. Can easy cost plan can be saved in versions ?
2. In CJ30 planned cost I can view in annual view but it doesn't get Summed up at Header level WBS ?
3.After releasing the WBS easy cost plan can be changed How to restrict that ?
Pl suggest.
Rgds

Hi Rasam,
You can see the ECP of simulation using CJ20N, or CJ9ECP.
The multiple ecp (MECP) is applied using SAP extenstion, after release 2.0. If you can check the system status of your system, you can find out, if the EA_APPL (at least 2.0 release) is applied your system or not. IF yes, you can find the corresponding customizing to active the MECP.
If MECP is active, you can then determine in which version should be ECP maintained. You get an additional POP UP screen to let you select the CO version, as you lauch to the ECP in CJ20N or CJ9ECP.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Taxes and duties on components for cost plan

Hi experts
I am working for below scenario:
The components those are planned must be added with applicable taxes for cost plan.
In case of imported goods, the applicable import duties need to be added to cost plan.
Similarly in case of external services, the service tax to be included.
For this purpose i wish to maintain different costing sheets (with various tax rates).
The relevant costing sheet is added in the activity/ component.
Is this OK or any other solution?
In this case, the predefined costing sheets to be used. As and when new rate comes in to picture, customizing to be done.
Any solution, with which user can make use of different variables easily?
warm regards ramSiva

Hi Virendra
I will maintain different costing sheets as follows:
00001: No overhead
00002: VAT 10%
00003: Service tax 12%
No one is defaulted with any of the profile.
I am thinking to make the field at activity level mandatory.
So, user has to choose the appropriate costing sheet at each activity level.
As the description is maintained with detail of tax, the user can choose the right one.
I request to comment and suggest if any easy way to achieve this requirement.
warm regards
ramSiva
