Network / WBS Costing

Hi Gurus,
I am doing cost planning for the project.
I have planned costs for network activities by work center planning (Labour hour rate) and added some materials in the project.
Now when I try to do cost planning on WBS in Transaction CJ40, the network planned costs are appeared in order/network column.
If I enter any cost as planned cost against WBS, it gets added to network cost.
The requirement is, I want to take a reference of Network/Order cost and that should be converted to Cost Planin CJ40.
Requets you to kindly suggest, how can I do network cost plan and then do WBS Cost plan using that as a reference.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Parimal,
I'm facing exactly the same issue as yours below:
"But when I run Progress report on Project (CNE1 & CNE5), it considers only cost plan on WBS (CJ40). System does not consider the plan cost on Network activities for POC calculation.
This leads to an error on POC reporting."
How did you fix this one?
Thanks
Emmanuel

WBS Costing Report

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement of developing WBS costing Report( detailed and summary) in 3.1i version.The specifications considered are as per below.
Actual cost details been captured from relevent POs and Project related Orders aganist WBS, However, for planned cost details, we are finding some discrepancies aganst std, SAP report.
Could you please clarify the following?
How to capture planned cost aganist WBS( ex: POs etc..), what are all the areas need to be covered?
Has anybody developed Z report or the above? if so, please provide the specs/functionality
We had refered relevent SAP std reports ( CJ7M, CJI4) for getting required inputs, but no luck!
Thanks in advance,
Kiran

HI,
Inorder to get all the actual costs on activity which is actually on WBS. You can do an enhancement. This enhancement should find the all POs against PR which belongs to an activity and will repost the costs that is being posted on WBS on GR to the concerned activity.

Report Painter/Writer Ctr & WBS costs

I think I've tried every possible variation to bring the appropriate CTR/WBS costs. Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. See in one reprt both the CTR planned costs and the WBS planned costs where the cost center is assigned to the WBS as a responsible CTR.
2. Added the characteristic "Import CTR Data" into either a row or general data selection as well as adding object types WBS, ACT, PRJ, and CTR.
3. I can get the WBS to display as a line item with the planned costs, but when I do it changes the credit balance on the CTR to a positive value. This is after I run plan reconciliation for the CTR, and I have integrated planning turned on.
Example:
Postings:
WBS Labor CE: $100
CTR Labor CE: -$300
Report:
Total CTR LAbor balalnce $100
WBS displayed with $100.
When I remove the WBS and Import CTR Data i get the $-300 balance on the CTR. So I'm guessing it's not possible to bring these two objects into the same report to show the CTR over/inder absorption with WBS visibility.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Jim

Cost center...that's the abbrev. used in report painter. As an update the problem seems to stem from the fact that I've added the WBS charateristic to the line and exploded it. when I do this I lose the credits to the cost center. Any idea?

Delete WBS cost estimate - CKW1/CKW4`

Hi
We are working with project system and based on the customer requirement we create WBS BOM for production of the material and for costing purpose we run Production lot Cost estimate for WBS using transaction CKW1 and activate it using transaction CKW4.
One of our scenario is such that after activating the cost estimate we are making certain changes in the WBS BOM and want to recost the WBS cost estimate(No GR is made yet)
When we are trying to run cost estimate for that WBS and material system is giving us the message that "Cost estimate for this material and WBS is already activated" and not allowing us to proceed with new costing.
We are trying to delete the cost estimate but we can not find out any transaction to delete the cost estimate for WBS element.
How can we delete the existing cost estimate for the WBS element which is already activated.

Dear Pravin Kakade
I am also working the same. But i didnt have any other tc after CKW1 & CKW4. What can we do after Activity CKW4. If u give some input i am also working on the same path. I am also trying options.

Automatic settlement of network activities costs to WBSE

HI All,
Which Network type and settlement profile i will use so that i can settle network costs(Labor costs,material costs and serice costs) to the repective attached WBSE automatically while am settling the WBSE to the final reciver.
Muzamil

Hi,
Network type PS02, settlement profile 130001 as per IDES will address your requirement. Basically check the following:
1. Network type contains the settlement profile which allows settlement to WBS (OPSC)
2. Parameters for network type have default rule PS1 ie 'settlemt to WBS' (OPUV)

WBS cost assessment / Settlement

Hi all,
I have project structure having 4 levels of WBS Element, and also having network & activity under WBS level4.
Cost is posted under NWA. My customer wants to allocate cost from WBS to WBS at WBS level2. My question is if I want to allocate cost between WBS level2, Do I have to settle cost incurred at NWA to WBS level 4 ->3 ->2 first or system can automatic rollout cost when I refer to WBS level2 as sender?
Same as my doubt for customer project. If billing element is at WBS level2 but the cost of sales is posted under level3. RA calculation is perform at level2 can be roll up the cost of sales without settlement to level2 or not?
Please advise.
Thank you very much
June.

As Abdul has alredy mentioned, this is a very basic query. I would also suggest you to go through SAP help once. In addition to this what you are assuming is correct. But do not go for multi level settlements. This is not recommended by SAP, especially for customer projects.
Go through SAP help once and you will understand.

Project system network activity cost distribute

it is possible that i distribute the plan cost of external network activity to period wise. if yes then how ..........
thanks

Hi
You can't plan the cost of external network activity period wise. The lowest level you can plan period wise is WBS Element level.

HI
I am looking for a soln to following issue.
1. In case of an Investment project under PS whether all the pre operative expenses and issue of project material to a WBS including turnkey items are going to be first debited to a cost element( part of P&L item) and then settled periodically to a CWIP.
2. If yes, then till the time you settle a WBS, the value of expenditure will appear in Profit and Loss Account of the company or Profit center.

Mapping of item decision points to PS Network/WBS

Hi,
In PPM 5.0, one of the new features introduced is the mapping of decision points to a PS Network or WBS element. In the configuration map item template to PS, we have the option of choosing the item type and a project definition. The first question that arise is, what are the pre-requisites. I press new entries, enter the item type. In the F1 for PS project it says to enter the field PSPR from the table PROJ. The project system module is in a different system. I have created the RFC destination for the system and in the definition of object links, I have mapped that system for both account assignment WBS element and Network. But the system is unable to fetch the project system project for mapping. Could someone explain the procedure for doing this, as it is not clear from the IMG help?
Regards,
swami

I checked the configuration guide.
In the IMG
Portfolio Independent settings -> Item template to PS project, under sub menu
Item template to PS project
Create new entries
Item template ID (chosen item template)
Object type : By default it shows 0INMPSPD
As per the configuration guide, "You must determine the SAP ERP system to be used for integration into PS by choosing an entry in the object type column". I do not see an appropriate entry for sAP ERP system even though I have created the logical system and RFC destination for the SAP ERP system in which PS resides.
Could some one help me out by guiding how to get the above setting done?
Regards,
Swami

Network material cost planning price entry without using moving average

Hi,
When adding the stock material (internal activity) to a network activity the system takes the moving average price of the material.
How can we enter the material AND the price for cost planning?
Note: The reason is that the material being procured may cost more than the moving average price on the system. When a user gets a quote for the material they'd like to enter the quoted buying price instead of the system taking the moving average.
Thanks
Kru

Hi,
Normally System allow to Edit Material - Price/Currency field in network planning instead of moving average price.
Please check it may greyed out for edit.

Standard program for creating outbound IDoc holding wbs+cost plan

Hello,
a)
Before we start developing our own ABAP, I would like to ask the forum if somebody knows if there is already a standard ABAP program for generating outbound IDocs including wbs-element data (CJ20N; wbs ID, description) plus annual data from the cost planning (CJ41; such as fiscal year and costing items from unit costing; quantity, unit, price per unit, total price, description of item) ?
b) we are planning to use the logical message /ISDFPS/PS, basic type /ISDFPS/PS01 and enhance this IDoc with segments for the costing items from the cost planning.
Question: Do you know if there is a standard IDoc which has segments for both wbs-element data and costing items?
Kind regards

WBS COST

Hi Experts,
I have an issue.The scenario is like this.I have to make some Procurement against a WBS. But i dont want the cost to be booked for this procurement in WBS. Rather I want the cost to occur only at profit center which have been assigned to WBS.
The WBS is from a project which is for some other Plant.But production is taking at other plant so they are making the procurement for this wbs.In the WBS, profit center has been assigned which belongs to second plant. So when the first plant will run the cost report the cost will come in wbs, At the same time cost will appear in profit center of second plant.
My req. is that cost should only go to profit center and when I will run the cost report for wbs it should not appear.
Regards
Brijesh

Hi Brijesh,
Further to what Sudhir has written:
Once you make your WBSE statistical you'll need to provide 'Actual cost Center' i.e. the cost center where the actual cost will be posted upon some relevant transaction such as Goods receipt or IV.
The cost on the WBSE will be recorded with Value Type 11 (Statistical Cost) where as the cost on your Cost center will be recorded with value type 4 (actual cost).
Hence in your Cost Reports you can filter out value type 11 so that the users do not see it as a cost in the WBSE cost report.

Ravi Shrivastav

WBS & Cost Element

Hi Experts,
May i know how can do the budgeting for WBS element & how WBS is link with cost element.
AR

Hi Amit Rana ,
If you use WBS as cost object. You can do budgeting baseed WBS hierarchy (T-CODE:CJ30).
You can do planning based WBS detail to cost elements(T-CODE:CJ40), but WBS budget only to WBS hierarchy.
