Milestone Configs in Project progress

Hi Friends,
Pls. Send me the Usage of Milestone in Project progress and Milestone trend analysis.
What are all the config. has to do?
Looking for your speedy response.
Regards
Prabu K

This can be configured using Milestone Billing.
1. Create New Sales Order Type, say ZOR (Copy of OR) through T.Code: VOV8
Maintain Delivery Type as LF & Billing Type As 'F1' - Order Related / 'F2' Delivery Related.
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Header > Define Sales Documents Types
2. Assign New Sales Document Type to Sales Area, For Eg:
1000 (S.Org) / 10 (D.Channel) / 10 (Division) / ZOR (S.O Type)
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Header > Assign Sales Area to Sales Document Type
3. Create New Item Category, say ZTAN - Copy of TAN (For delivery Related) / ZTAD - Copy of TAD (For Order realted) / ZTAS - copy of TAS (For Third Party)
Maintain as under (others remaining same)
Billing Relevance: I
Billing Plan Type: 01
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Item > Define Item Category
4. Assign Item Category, for ex (assuming Usage & higher level item category as blank):
Sales Document Type | Item Category Group | Default Item Category
ZOR | NORM | ZTAN
ZOR | DEIN | ZTAD
ZOR | BANS | ZTAS
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Item > Assign Item Category
Note: In the above Billing Type '01' plays the main controller for milestone billing. In Sales order, at item level, we require to maintain the billing plan.
Follow the Sales cycle as normal sales cycle for particular Scenarios

Error in Project Progress Config and process steps

Hi experts,
I am implementing PS for Asset procurement, in this i will procure material against material component which is added in Internal activity. I am using scheduling also. Now My client requirement is that he want project progress report on cost basic.
I am using CJ40, CJ30 and CJ32.
IN IMG i have configured like given below
1. I have created Progress version 100
    EV base - Cost Plan ( active Proejct, Annual Value)
    POC weighting - Weight
    Planning type - Basic dates
    Early/Late - Earliest Possible
    Actual method and Ref plan method tick.
2. Measurement method -
   for cost based report i have selected - Cost proportional
3. Default value for measuremnt method -
    100 -WBS element - Plan - Cost proportional
    100 - WBS element - Actual - Cost proportional
    100 - Acitvity ( int)- Actual - Cost proportional
    100 - Acitvity ( int)- Actual - Cost proportional
I have put this in CJ20N. I followed following steps
1. CNE1
2. CNE5
but it is showing 0 value in all tabs such as Aggregate planned percentage of completion, Non-aggregated planned percentage of completion
can anyone tell me the total process to get this report perfectly. It is very urgent need so please help me guys.
Thanks,

Hi,
1) in wbs goto progress tab for enter version plan ,give ur method and actual also give your method poc weightage give 1
2) in activity go to progress tab enter your version, give your method for plan and actual give the work measurement method and weightage give 1
3) now confirm the activities if partial confirmation enter the degree of processing (%).
4) goto progress calculation screen and give your project number and select with hierachy and with orders. enter the month and year.
5) excute,
6) goto the report and check the report.
if still not working send screen shot of the report.
Thanking you

What are the milestone of any project

what are the milestone of any project ?????
can u explain each and every step and if there is any sub step invole
and with few activity work involed in each step
thanks

Hi Hanumant,
In ASAP methodology each step is one of the milestone in the project.
                                                                                ASAP stands for Accelerated SAP. Its purpose is to help design SAP
implementation in the most efficient manner possible. Its goal is to effectively
optimize time, people, quality and other resources, using a proven methodology to
implementation.
ASAP focuses on tools and training, wrapped up in a five-phase process oriented
road map for guiding implementation.
The road map is composed of five well-known consecutive phases:
u2022        Phase 1 Project Preparation
u2022        Phase 2 Business Blueprint
u2022        Phase 3 Realization
u2022        Phase 4 Final Preparation
u2022        Phase 5 Go-Live and support
In today's post we will discuss the first phase.
Phase 1 : Project Preparation
Phase 1 initiates with a retrieval of information and resources. It is an important
time to assemble the necessary components for the implementation. Some
important milestones that need to be accomplished for phase 1 include
u2022        Obtaining senior-level management/stakeholder support
u2022        identifying clear project objectives
u2022        architect an efficient decision-making process
u2022        creating an environment suitable for change and re-engineering
u2022        building a qualified and capable project team.
Senior level management support:
One of the most important milestones with phase 1 of ASAP is the full agreement
and cooperation of the important company decision-makers - key stake holders
and others. Their backing and support is crucial for a successful implementation.
Clear project objectives:
be concise in defining what your objectives and expectations are for this venture.
Vague or unclear notions of what you hope to obtain with SAP will handicap the
implementation process. Also make sure that your expectations are reasonable
considering your company's resources. It is essential to have clearly defined
ideas, goals and project plans devised before moving forward.
An efficient decision making process:
One obstacle that often stalls implementation is a poorly constructed decision-
making process. Before embarking on this venture, individuals need to be clearly
identified. Decide now who is responsible for different decisions along the way.
From day one, the implementation decision makers and project leaders from
each area must be aware of the onus placed on them to return good decisions
quickly.
Environment suitable for change and re engineering:Your team must be willing to
accept that, along with new SAP software, things are going to change, the
business will change, and information technology enabling the business will
change as well. By implementing SAP, you will essentially redesign your current
practices to model more efficient or predefined best business practices as
espoused by SAP. Resistance to this change will impede the progress of your
implementation.
ASAP- Second Phase- Business Blueprint
SAP has defined a business blueprint phase to help extract pertinent information
about your company that is necessary for implementation. These blueprints are in
the form of questionnaires that are designed to probe for information that
uncovers how your company does business. As such, they also serve to
document the implementation. Each business blueprint document essentially
outlines your future business processes and business requirements. The kinds
of questions asked are germane to the particular business function, as seen in
the following sample questions:
1) What information do you capture on a purchase order?
2) What information is required to complete a purchase order?
Accelerated SAP question and answer database:
The question and answer database (QADB) is a simple although aging tool
designed to facilitate the creation and maintenance of your business blueprint.
This database stores the questions and the answers and serves as the heart of
your blue print. Customers are provided with a customer input template for each
application that collects the data. The question and answer format is standard
across applications to facilitate easier use by the project team.
Issues database:
Another tool used in the blueprinting phase is the issues database. This
database stores any open concerns and pending issues that relate to the
implementation. Centrally storing this information assists in gathering and then
managing issues to resolution, so that important matters do not fall through the
cracks. You can then track the issues in database, assign them to team
members, and update the database accordingly.
ASAP Phase- 3 - Realization:
With the completion of the business in phase 2, "functional" experts are now ready
to begin configuring SAP. The Realization phase is broken in to two parts.
1) Your SAP consulting team helps you configure your baseline system, called the
baseline configuration.
2) Your implementation project team fine-tunes that system to meet all your
business and process requirements as part of the fine tuning configuration.
The initial configuration completed during the base line configuration is based on
the information that you provided in your blueprint document. The remaining
approximately 20% of your configuration that was not tackled during the baseline
configuration is completed during the fine tuning configuration. Fine tuning usually
deals with the exceptions that are not covered in baseline configuration. This final
bit of tweaking represents the work necessary to fit your special needs.
Configuration Testing:
With the help of your SAP consulting team, you segregate your business
processes into cycles of related business flows. The cycles serve as independent
units that enable you to test specific parts of the business process. You can also
work through configuring the SAP implementation guide (IMG). A tool used to
assist you in configuring your SAP system in a step by step manner.
Knowledge Transfer:
As the configuration phase comes to a close, it becomes necessary for the
Project team to be self-sufficient in their knowledge of the configuration of your
SAP system. Knowledge transfer to the configuration team tasked with system
maintenance (that is, maintenance of the business processes after Go-live)
needs to be completed at this time.
In addition, the end users tasked with actually using the system for day-to-day
business purposes must be trained.
ASAP Methodology - Phase 4 - Final Preparation:
As phase 3 merges into phase 4, you should find yourselves not only in the midst
of SAP training, but also in the midst of rigorous functional and stress testing.
Phase 4 also concentrates on the fine tuning of your configuration before Go-live
and more importantly, the migration of data from your old system or systems to
SAP.
Workload testing (including peak volume, daily load, and other forms of stress
testing), and integration or functional testing are conducted to ensure the accuracy
of your data and the stability of your SAP system. Because you should have begun
testing back in phase 2, you do not have too far to go until Go-live. Now is an
important time to perform preventative maintenance checks to ensure optimal
performance at your SAP system.
At the conclusion of phase 4, take time to plan and document a Go-live strategy.
Preparation for Go-live means preparing for your end-users questions as they
start actively working on the new SAP system.
ASAP - Phase 5 - Go-live and Support:
The Go-live milestone is itself is easy to achieve; a smooth and uneventful Go-live
is another matter altogether. Preparation is the key, including attention to what-if
scenarios related not only to the individual business processes deployed but also
to the functioning of technology underpinning these business processes and
preparation for ongoing support, including maintenance contracts and
documented processes and procedures are essential.
I hope it will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

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,
Venkat

Problem in Project progress

Hi,
I am facing problem in Project progress report CNE5.
System is calculated 300 % poc in Adjusted aggregated actual POC & Aggregated actual POC field only after full confirmed the activity (Degree of Processing is showing in report as 100%).
If I confirmed 50 % then system is showing above value 0% .
Also while CNE1 system is taking default method as :SAP 0-100, so i changed it into activity by 00006 (Work) then system calculate the Progress but only after full confirmation, but again it is 300%. which should not.
The configuration settings are as
1. Progress Version: -
Progress Version : 100
Plan Version          : 0
EV Basis                 : 1 ( Cost Plan)
POC weighting      : 4 Work, Basic ( Active Project)
2. Group of Progress version:-
Controlling Area & 1
3. Assign Progress Versions to Group Progress Versions:-
Controlling Area, 100 & 1
4. Define Statistical Key Figure for Percentage of Completion:-
                                                 Usage               SKF (with unit of measurement= %)
       Controlling area                   1 10
       Controlling area                    2 20
       Controlling area                    3 30
5. Define Measurement Methods:-
Measurement method :0000000006 (Work)
Meas. technique : E ( Degree of Processing)
Max POC                : 100
6. Define Measurement Method as Default Value
Progress version(100), Object Type (2:Activity, Internal Processing), Plan/ Actual( 1 &2 :both), Method (00000006 :Work)
7.Maintain Assignment of Cost Element Group
Cost element (PS) , Default selection( Yes) & cost element group(PS_PROP)
I hope above information is sufficient.
My problem is system is calculating poc only after full confirmation but i want at partial confirmation. Also after full confirmation poc is showing 300% which i want 100%.

AVI

Project Progress Calculation

Dear All,
I have query for project progress calculation.
As you know that we have std project progress reports( CNE1/ CNE5), In these reports , project progress are calculated monthwise because as per the prerequisite of CNE1 report, input parameter is period ( month, year). If client wants project progress report on a specific date e.g. 15.11.2008 then system gives the progress report , considering plan poc by the end of the month Nov i.e. 30.11.2008, not upto 15.11.2008.
If you faced such scenario, please share your experience.

Ashok Sangal

Project Progress

Dear All,
Please suggest in case of my following scenario:
If I want to measure the project progress on the basis of work completed on each activities under several wbs and then total of project under which these WBS come.
I am using progress version with basis as Work. Assigning Degree of completion as measuring method to actual method in Progress Tab of each activity(Both Internal and external).
In CNE5 i get the correct % of work and weight for each activity.
But when I assign weight to the WBS above these activities and suppose there are three parallel WBS like this then I canot access the work done for each WBS.
As SAP does not allow % of work done for WBS.
Can somebody suggest something please.
Thanks in advance

Project Progress Catch-up Plan

Dear PS Friends,
I would like to know if any of you have worked on Project Progress Catch-up Plan.
Basically, it is the third dashed-curve which comes in a project progress graph of plan vs actual to cover u2013up the delay.
Below is an example to explain this.
M3 being the current month.
Months     M1     M2     *M3*     M4     M5     M6     M7     M8     M9
Plan PoC     0%     12%     20%     35%     42%     52%     60%     72%     90%
Actual PoC     2%     7%     12%
Catch-up               12%     18%     24%     40%     52%     72%
If yes, please let me know and also how we can implement in SAP PS.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Aparna

Hi Abdul,
We are using the planned dates and actual dates spread over duration to calculate the monthly PoC.
Now, if there is a delay i.e. there is a variance between planned and actual, then we need to reschedule   or u2018crashu2019 the project .
This in turn will give us a new planning curve that would need to be followed in order to make up for the delay.
But the problem is that if we reschedule, the original plan is overwritten and hence, the u2018baselineu2019 vanishes.
So the requirement is that in CNE1 , we should be able to calculate three set of dates u2013 original planned PoC ,actual Poc till date, rescheduled PoC.
Given that progress version supports only two set of dates, is there any way to achieve this ?
Regards,
Aparna

Project progress vs % Work complete

Hi,
As far as I've read the %Complete field doesn't state the progress of the project. I would like to see how much work has been done (% Work complete) and compare it against a percentage that's the same as days past since beginning divided by total duration
times 100%. So in a project lasting 100 working days, I want this project progress at 50% after 50 working days and compare it against the % Work complete. Is there an option to do this?
If this function isn't available by default, I would have to use some custom fields in which is calculated:
The number of working days passed since the startdate of the project
The total number of working days (equals duration)
Divide the days passed by the days total * 100%

Hi Jan,
Thanks for the quick response! Can see you work with a Dutch version of MSP. ;) Are you in Belgium?
In the meantime I was trying myself to accomplish it. I did it like this:
Custom Duration 1: ProjDateDiff([Project Start];Date();"Standard")
Custom Duration 2: ProjDateDiff([Project Start];[Project Finish];"Standard")
Custom Text 1: Round([Duration1]/[Duration2]*100) & " %"
Starting to like MS P!! :)
Is there any possibility to only show this for the Project Summary (ID 0)?

PS & ISUtilities (Tracking Project Progress)

In a single project (4 apartments) there are 100 premises (eg flats) 25 flats per Apartment. Each flat is considered as potential customer for Gas.
Project people complete the work in 3 stages.
Mile stone 1 = Rs 500 collected per Business partner & Phase 1 is completed
Milestone 2 =   Rs 2000 is collected per Business Partner & Phase 2 is completed
Milestone 3 =   Rs 2500 is collected per Business Partner & Phase 3 is
                       completed by projects department.
Here the completion of work by Project department in SAP PS is interrelated to ISU a) Premise (eg flat)    b)Business Partner (Customer taking connection ) .
The project manager shall be able to find in every project comprising of 100 flats ,
The amount of work completed each flat( Customer wise) .
Eg   Customer1          Milestone I & Milestone 2 completed
       Customer 2         Milestone 1 completed , Amount received for Milestone 2
                                but work has not been started by projects department .
      Customer 3          Milestone 1,2 and Milestone 3 completed
Hope you would help me in mapping this process.

Why can't I make a project progressive?

When I open a new project in Encore, I want to set it to progressive. But no matter what I try, the Video Transcoding settings are greyed out and I can't change it from Lower Fields First. This has left me with jumpy videos, and I have no idea how to correct it. I've tried googling for solutions but this doesn't seem to be a widespread issue, so I'm guessing I've missed something. Can anybody help? Any advice would be appreciated.

Export from Premiere with the desired settings for mpeg2-dvd.
Import the two files into Encore.
Encore will be set to Don't Transcode for the files.
Make menu and burn.
That should do the trick.

Online project progress and status implementation.

Hi friends,
What are the different methods availalbe in SAP for integrating project Sites with Project office for online progress and status implementation.
Thank you,
Prashant

Hello Prashanth,
SAP xAPPS provides this feature. xRPM and cProjects are web based applications which are tightly integrated with SAP PS.
The configuration is done in R/3 backened for the same and front end is web based application. But note that they are not a part of SAP PS soln and are seperate apllications.
Thanks
