ML81N Changing WBS

An end user was able to manually change the wbs element in ML81N that differed from the one in the purchase order. This caused problem for FM and FI. Is there a way to make it so the wbs can't be changed in ML81N? Thanks in advance!
Eric

Go to ML90 and scroll down to ML81, and double click .
Choose additional data> and then make the WBS element field -- display only
That should take care of your issue

    Hi,
    You can create a Transaction Variant for the transaction VA02 in which you have to maintain the WBS Element field as output only.
    1. Go to SHD0, enter VA02 in Transaction & give a name to the transaction variant and press Create.
    2. Enter an order no., go to the item "Account Assignment" tab.
    3. Check "Output Only" against WBS Element in the screen listing all the tabstrips & Fields.
    4. Exit & Save.
    You will be returned to the SHD0 screen.
    Select the "Standard Variants" Tab under "Standard Vriants" tab. Press activate to activate the Transaction Variant.
    Go to VA02 to test the variant. You will get the WBS Element disabled.
    Revert in case of any doubts.

  • Checking WBS elements when changing WBS element group

    Dear Gurus,
    Well I am a technical consultant, I use to dwell in the ABAP forum, so maybe I am going to say things without much sense, if so please tell me.
    I have a problem. One of our customers uses transaction KJH2 to change WBS elements groups and they have asked us to check the WBS elements that the users can put in the transaction.
    If a user adds a new WBS range both the WBS elements have to exist in the system, we have to check it somehow, probably using a user-exit or a BADI.
    The problem is that I have been looking for a BADI or a USER-EXIT for many hours and I have been unable to find one which allows us to check this, same when the user inputs the WBS element as when we save the changes.
    Somebody has some help? Any advice would be apreciated.
    In the while I will keep trying to find it and if I succeed I will post it here anyhow.
    So long I have put a break-point in the 'CL_EXITHANDLER' class and I have checked the BADIs that can be used when I make the process, none can be useful I think. I have tried to find a USER-EXIT and I have foud none.
    Thanks in advance to everyone.

    Hi Ayan,
    Maybe you are right and we can't use a BADI for this. But we have a customer which has requested us to code this data check so I have to try.
    I agree that this is master data but it is a simple data check without many consecuences (at least it seems so to me), maybe there is a way to do this.
    Right now I think I am going to stop this until Monday as the FI consultant is now on vacation.
    Thanks a lot for your reply.

  • How to change WBS Element in FI Entry for Asset

    Hi all,
    I have a scenario where an asset has been capitalized with  WBS element 1. After several months we realized that it has to go to WBS element 2.
    We update the Asset Master Data with a new WBS Element 2.
    Depreciation from this date onwards is posted to WBS Element 2 (this is expected), but in FI the asset acquisition cost is still in WBS element 1.
    Does anyone know how to rectify the FI document with correct WBS element i.e  WBS Element 2
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated
    Regards
    Pramod Saraswat

    Hi Pramod,
    In posted document you cant change the WBS element.
    In order to post on WBS 2 , you have to reverse the acquisation entry posted on WBS1. Then update correct one in  asset master then post acquisation.

  • Changing WBS element in PO

    Hi
    In my Purchase Order, earlier it was account assigned to a WBS element A. When we ran CJI3, it showed the same. But now the account assignment of WBS element was changed to B. I have no idea how this got changed. I only can check from the Purchase Order history and found that "Profit center has been changed for the item".
    How this could have happened? Any info reg this will be helpful. Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can check the same in item >envoirnment-> changes.
    Also if your PO is made wrt PR & some one has changed the wbs in PO only then it will not show correct commitment values in PS reports.
    If you want your data to be correct then you give authroization only to your Planning team to change the WBS element. You can ask your consultant to make these fields as grey when PR is converted to PO.

  • Change WBS element short ID

    Hi,
    I am facing the following problem.
    In transaction code 'CJ02', WBS element 'A.000690.0002' is changed by mistake to 'A.000722'.
    When the user tries to put back the same short ID   'A.000690.0002' , he is getting the following error.
    'WBS element A.000690.0002 version FREI_VERSION already exists'.
    Can anyone help in resolving the issue.
    All the help and efforts will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Ranga

    Hi,
    Customizing is most likely set to make a status - triggered project version automatically. Once this version is created system will not allow you to make a WBS with the same key, though in the operational project a WBS with that key no longer exists. If you run CN41, opting version data in DB profile and inputting version key in selection screen, you should be able to see this WBS.
    Hence there seems to be no remedy for the problem.

  • Change WBS element from non-statistical to statistical

    Hi all,
    In the control tab of a WBS element, I am trying to change it from non-statistical to statistical. However, the checkbox is grayed out and not allowing me.
    I have tried using transaction CNMASS for this but I am getting error CJ727: Changing the contents of the field is not permitted
    How can I resolve this?
    Thanks,

    i guess you have released the wbse. so system will not allow to indicate the statistical check box. as per standard you
    have the indicate the check box before you release the wbse.
    if you haven't the wbse then check the field status of statistical in opuk.

  • How to Change WBS Element Status Profile

    Dear PS Experts,
    Once Status profile is set for WBS element, system is not allowing to change the same.
    What should I do to change the status profile?
    Moreover I will like to know the Table details in which Status profile details are kept for a WBS Element.
    Thanking you all.

    Hi,
    You can change the status profile on 'Control' tab of Project Definition. But this change will be effective for new WBS elements. I dont think you can change status profile for existing WBS. You will have to delete and re-create them.
    Status proflie for WBS is stored in JSTO table. Get OBJNR for WBS from PRPS table and insert in JSTO table to get status profile.

  • Change WBS in CJ20N - Service Order change log

    Hi PS experts
    Scenario.
    Service order 1 has WBS element A.
    User goes into CJ20N and changes the WBS ID/ name to A2.
    Service order 1 now automatically has WBS element A2. However, if you look at the change logs on the service order, there isn't one for the allocation of this WBS change. Is there a way of updating the change order log for the service order? When saving in CJ20N it must update the service order through the back door.
    Thanks for looking.

    System stores the WBS element using external and internal numbers. What the user has changed in your case is only the external number and the internal number (which is system generated) would remain the same.
    That's the reason the external ID is updated in SO. Don't think you can get his logged in change log of order. Is change document activated for the order type? Even if checked I really doubt if this would be logged using standard.
    Let's see other views on this.

  • How to change WBS code to description in IM52

    Hi All,
    I am using Investment Management. I would like to distribute budget in IM52. but in IM52 it shows the WBS code not the wbs description, how to make it change to description ?
    Please help.
    Cheers,
    Nies

    Hi Nies,
    In the configuration of the Investment program type you can define if you want to represent the positions and measures (e.g. projects) by ID or text.
    Please follow the path in the customizing:
    SPRO>Investment Management>Investment Programs>Master Data>Define Program types
    There is a field called "Repr.form" (Represent. of cap. inv. prog. position in graphic hierarchy) that determines if the ID or text will be displayed.
    For example, if you set the value for 3 the investment program position will be represented by the code and the measure (in your case the WBS element) by description.
    Hope it helps,

  • FM STATUS_UPDATE to Change WBS User Status

    Greetings,
    I need to fine the best way to change the user status for WBS, I found STATUS_UPDATE function module and it can update the status , however, the changes does not get reflected in the Change Document log, any idea ?

    Hi,
    I would suggest using BAPIs instead of "regular" function modules. With BAPIs you are sure that they won't change, the API is stable. You can't be sure about internal FMs. I know that chance of changing STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN by SAP is seriously low. You can also use FM incorrectly. Using BAPI incorrectly is almost impossible. What I just want to say is that preferring BAPIs is a really good practice.
