Object class in WBS element screen

Hi All,
We are facing the issue of object class as required, when a WBS element is created for a project. In SAP 3.1, the object class is not a required field, but in ECC 6.0 system this field is showing up as required and we cannot proceed further until we enter some vaule in this field.
Does someone know why this field is coming as required in CJ01 transaction, when creating a WBS element? The layout in OPSA transaction says its a input only field and not required.
hameed

Thanks
Am agreed.
Actually this problem I am getting in production after releasing the measures object class is coming blank in top level WBS
am trying to test in development but i am getting object class once measures are released.
Thanks

Problem in Include WBS Element Screen

Actually i got some steps for CJ01(Create Project).
It is saying that after going to WBS Element Overview screen and making all the entries for WBS element and description select the INCLUDE button .
I tried a lot but i am unable to search that include button.
Please help me.

I also tried a lot but i didn't find any solution for this.
The step also says that a message will appear like(in case i have entered 6 WBS elements and after selecting INCLUDE button)
'6 WBS elements were included'
in the create project: project definition screen.
Can anyone tell me that when this type of message appears while creating WBS .

Standard WBS Elements Screen layout/Settlement rule/IM assignment

Few questions about Standard WBS elements
1. Is possible to have my own layout for the WBS element detail screens while creating/changing the standard WBS element (CJ91/CJ92)?
2. Is it possible to maintain the settlement rules for the standard WBS elements?
3. Is it possible assign the standard WBS elements to the IM program/position?
I know that all the above possible are only in case of operavtive WBS.
If possible with Std WBS elements, please help me and let me know.

Sreenivas,
I´m afraid that none of the 3 options is available via standard tools
I´m so sorry.

How to find out System Status of WBS Elements?

Hi PS Experts!
Please help me on my query.
I want to get a list of WBS elements whose status is Released and can be used.
If I try to search the table PRPS, it can only help me in finding WBS elements without deletion flag, with RA Key and so on.
But the System status (such as Blocked for use) etc. is not present in the table.
The one way I know is to get Object Number of WBS element from PRPS Table and insert it in JEST Table to get system status.
Or alternatively, I give the WBS element no. in CJ20N t-code, and then check for System Status.
These 2 methods work, if I do it one WBS Element at a time. If I need to get thousands of WBS elements in such a fashion, it's tedious.
So could anyone help me on this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Vinitha.

Hi Bala
Yes, you have put it rather correctly.
We use WBS elements for booking and posting time (client requirement). So what I am looking for is WBS Elements with the system status TERL (Time and Expense Released).
I talked of the deletion flag also, because a WBS element flagged for deletion can't be used. It's one of the criteria to screen the WBS elements.
I hope it's clearer now.
Vinitha.

WBS Elements record seection

I am completely new to PS and i would appreciate if I get some help in answering below questions.
I am in middles of coding a report program and I need to find list of all " Open WBS Elements with No Cummilative Balace". Which table and field do I need to look for this?
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi,
You need to identify the object number for WBS Elements from PRPS and pass it in JCDS (or JEST) to get the status. So by combining PRPS & JCDS (or JEST) you can identidy the list of open WBS Elements. I am not sure what you meant by "no cumulative balance". Normally the cost and revenues (plan & actual) incurred on a WBS can be retrieved from RPSCO table.

COPA - Multiple Sales Order with one wbs element. COPA does not reference

COPA - Multiple Sales Order with one wbs element. COPA does not reference of reference of sales order.
Hi All
Currently we are in process of implementation of project related to Club Service for one of the client.
Concept of this project is - there is "X" company engaged in supporting the different shared services for their client e.g. Client IBM - Shared Support Services of IBM is
u2022     IDM
u2022     Software Installation
u2022     Help Desk
u2022     Maintenance
Co.. "X' is performing these services for IBM.    So for Co. "X" - IBM is one engagement. Like this way Co. X is performing such activities for many companies e.g. microsoft, HP, ABN AMRO etc.
Objective - Get the consolidate report from COPA (Customer wise/services wise/sales order wise e.g. IBM/HelpDesk/10002/10).
We propose a solution to create a project for each engagement and with WBS element. Each WBS element of different services e.g.
Project IBM Inc. 100.100
WBS Element    100.100.IDM
WBS Element    100.100.SoftIns
WBS Element    100.100.HelpDesk
WBS Element    100.100.Maintainance
For this engagement (IBM), we are creating a sales order with line items (for services) and account assignment is WBS element. In a sales order, there may be two lines for one services.   In a particular period, there are many such sales orders for this engagement... Milestone billing/period billing is used depending upon the services rendered.
Now Cost Object will be WBS Element. So cost and revenue will posted to WBS and from this it goes to COPA. In a month of May 2009 two - sales order is booked with three different line items with account assignment is WBS element.
Sales Order Line Item No.....Item                  Account Assignment                      Revenue
10000          100     IDM      100.100.IDM              1000
10000          200     HELPDESK      100.100.HelpDesk              2000
10000          100     Maintenance      100.100.Maintainance         3000
Another Sales order booked with two different line items
10000          100      IDM     100.100.IDM          3000
10000          200      HELPDESK     100.100.HelpDesk          4000
Cost will be booked directly against WBS element.
In sales order level, there is no profitability segment, as cost object is WBS element.
Billing, revenue will be posted directly to wbs element, from this revenue and cost of sales goes to COPA.
Now in COPA,
1.There is only one line for WBS element ex. 100.100.IDM with revenue 4000 (combing both the sales order)
2.There is only one line for WBS element ex. 100.100.HelpDesk with revenue 6000 (combing both the sales order)
3.There is only one line for WBS element ex. 100.100.Maintainance with revenue 4000
In above case 1 & 2 we will not have reference of sales order and sales order line item in COPA table. There is only one line for this. So we can not have reporting to sales order level.
Is there any way by this the reference of sales order and sales order line will come in COPA for case 1 & 2.
Please help in this issue.

Hi,
For these case (multiple materials with different characteristics); have you consider going to next level of WBS Elements. Meaning; lets say currently you are assigning WBS "Engineering (which is a level 2 WBS)" to all the items in SO. Instead under "Engineering" create 2 or 3 level 3 WBS Elements as E1, E2 etc and assign them 1:1 to your sales order line items. This would eliminate the exit as welll as complex development option. And also will let you get all the data in COPA and in turn you can pull to BW as well for reporting. Just a thought.

Listing WBS elements and object relations

Hello Friends,
I want to output all wbs-elements and attached objects in a list, but I'm not sure how to do this. Is there a standard report for this? In trans cj03 you can only se the relation between one wbs-element and its related objects... I want to view them all. I considered to make a report with quickviewer but I am not sure which tables to connect, as the data-fields in transaction cj03 only reffers to structure fields... I would appreciate any input...
best regards
Ballo

Hi Robert,
Check out the conversion routine attached to the WBS element, and you need to add code in your program to convert it before downloading.
If no conversion exit is available, you need to write code to select its mapping from database table.

WBS Element in selection screen

hi,
WBS Element in selection screen of the report need to be added from BSEG table of field PROJK.
requirement is
for eg- if you take a WBS Element suppose 11020017 and you put in BSEG table give the values as
BUKRS= 0010
GJAHR =2008
PROJK =11020017 it gives a message WBS Element 11020017 does not exist.
where as this WBS element if you insert in Function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ABPSP_OUTPUT
input as 11020017 , you will get output as 1000050-01.
and again goto BSEG table and give the values as
BUKRS= 0010
GJAHR =2008
PROJK =1000050-01, now u will get the value of WBS Element as 11020017 .
in the report the bussiness requires WBS Element in selection screen , the user gives the value of WBS Element in selection screen 11020017,it gives a message WBS Element 11020017 does not exist, the user should give this value1000050-01, but user doesnot know this value,user knows only 11020017 value.
now if the user gives in selection screen 11020017 it should work i mean it must convert to 1000050-01.
how to use function module in selection screen.help with code
thanks in advance

Hi,
     Use in following way, declare a parameter P_PROJK as character type, if you declare it as TYPE BSEG-PROJK system will defaultly check in dadabase table.
PARAMETERS : p_projk(10) TYPE c.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ABPSP_OUTPUT'
    EXPORTING
      input = p_projk
    IMPORTING
      output = p_projk.

Error Individual check for creating the object WBS Element required

Hi Expert,
I've a requirement to create WBS elements using BAPI. And I am using BAPIs in the following manner.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION'
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI'
EXPORTING
i_project_definition = g_pdwbs
TABLES
it_wbs_element = it_wbs_element
et_return = it_return
EXTENSIONIN =
EXTENSIONOUT =
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT'
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.
When I do so I am getting the below errors. Please suggest.
"Individual check for creating the object WBS Element C-497082 required ".
"Individual check for creating the object WBS Element C-497082-0001 required".
Please suggest how to correct this error.

Hi Karthikeya,
I think the project profile which you are using has a different mask and the WBS element you are passing is different to the BAPI.
Are you able to create manually from CJ01 using the same WBS element?
Create a project manually and it will give the list of the mandatory fields set in the config. Using that list populate the BAPI struture accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Lakshman.

Autharisation object for project team for WBS element

Hi all
My client requirement is when they allotment project team for WBS element some of the user restrict to delete it from menu tab in CJ20N transaction code and particular user only delete it. could any one guide me under which object i can manage this authorization to restrict the user so that in menu tab delete tab is gray out.
Regards

Hi,
Using ACL, you can give four authorizations like 'read', 'write', 'admin' and 'no authorization' for a user for the each element (object) of project.
For a user, you maintain the ACL for the whole hierarchy(inheritance) or for individual element.
You can maintain ACL for user group or for Organization Group instead of users as well.
In the project profile in SPRO, we can see three radio buttons for ACL like 'No ACL', 'ACL (No Inhr.)', 'ACL (with Inh.)'. You choose according to your requirement.
For more details please go through SAP Help. Explained in detail there.

Standard Objects for Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)

In 0FI_GL_4 , there are two fields :
Component    |   Component Type   |   Data Type   |    Length      |    Short Description
PROJK           | PS_PSP_PNR         | NUMC              |      8                Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)
PS_POSID      | PS_POSID             | CHAR              | 24               Work Breakdown Structure Element (WBS Element)
For "PS_POSID", there is a standard Object "0WBS_ELEMT" to be matched.
But ,Which object to match the "PROJK " ?   Is that "0WBS_ELM_EX" ?

Hi,
The object 0WBS_ELEMT_EX is actually for a different puspose.
Check this. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_em70/helpdata/en/d7/22417391807646910d01ee241628e1/content.htm
So for PROJK, i'd advise you to check what kind of output you get for this field in RSA3 and then go from there.
If you already know what it means, you can try to find a similar object in the content, otherwise just create one with similar element type.
