Order of WBS's in Activity Layout

Hello Folks,
First of all, I am VERY new to Primavera P6 (v8.something). I have spent the past two days searching for the answer to this question, but to no avail. Hopefully you guys will be kind enough to share some of your knowledge.
We have created a pretty simple metal building project with a few WBS's. We can set the order of the WBS's in the WBS window in the order we want, but this order doesn't carry over to the activity view layout. For instance, one of our WBS's is named "Fabrication" and the other is named "Erection". Obviously, Fabrication should appear before Erection (and it does in the WBS window) but it doesn't once we change to the Activity Layout. Strangely, Erection is placed above Fabrication. All the Start dates and Activity ID's in Fabrication come before those in Erection. Each WBS is Sorted by Activity ID.
I hope at least some of that made sense. My question is this: how do I control the order of the WBS's in the activity layout?
Thanks guys

Hi Guys,
We figured out the problem. The WBS's in the Activity view were being sorted alphabetically/numerically. We just added numbers to the front of each entry (WBS Name) so the WBS's would appear in the desired order. Here's an example. In my earlier post I mentioned "Fabrication" would need to appear before "Erection". Because these WBS names were being sorted alphabetically, Fabrication was appearing after Erection. We changed "Fabrication" to "5 Fabrication" and "Erection" to "6 Erection" (Fabrication and Erection are the fifth and sixth grouping set in our list/project, respectively) in the WBS Name entry. By doing this, Fabrication will now appear above Erection.
We tried adding these same numbers in front of the WBS Code names and that seemed to have no effect on the appearance order in activity view.
Is this the only way to control the ordered appearance of WBS's in the activity layout view?
Thanks for everyone's patience.

Creating a purchase order form that has a flowable layout" Help Tutorial

Regarding the "Creating a purchase order form that has a flowable layout" Help Tutorial, I can't seem to get the data to pull in for just the PO in question, is there a secret?
Ideally, it should create one form for each PO with the detail lines for each PO on the individual forms. Can we do this?
Many thanks!

Hi
If the smartform purchase order is not available in your system
means you can download the form IDES and you can upload the form in ur ecc 6.0 system.we faced a similar kind of problem in our system and we did as i said.
Once you uploaded the things you can easily view the form interface and rest of the things related to smartforms.

Goods Receipt against Purch Order with WBS not posted qty in Project Stock

Dear Gurus
We have recently implemented SAP in our company. One problem which we have encountered is at the time of GR of material against Purchase Orders with WBS assignments. Our requirement is that the goods at the time of GR should undergo the QM process and after Usage decision in QM, it should be available in project stock till the time we consume the material.
Contrary to above, the current behaviour of the system is that at the time of GR, the quantity on order is reduced by the GR quantity but nethier the project unrestricted stock nor the project quality stock is updated. Apparently it seems that the stock is consumed immediately at the time of receipt.
It will be appreciated, if any one of you can advise on above.
Muhammad Asif Nakhuda

Hi!
As Nag has correctly pointed out, the account assignment should be 'Q'
Consumprion also occurs if you have acct assignment category as 'N'
Now, if you are raising the PO with reference to PR that is thru PS, hen select Item Category 'L' (stock item). This will
trigger the acct assignment category 'Q'

Internal orders to WBS Element

Hi,
I,m working in a Project System implementation project, where all other modules are already in use.As per the existing process, Internal orders are created for asset accounting.Those are of statistical. All the purchase orders & costs are booked referring to the internal orders, the same cost is directly settled to Asset Under Construction or Asset.As the internal orders are created as statistical, there is no seperate settlement process & all the costs are directly settled either in AUC or in Asset as & when they are incurred(posted).
Now as we are implementing Project Systems, Internal orders are going to be replaced by WBS Elements. Customer requirement is the same process of online settlement of costs to Assets from WBS Element & he doen't want to settle seperately.
Now the issue is, 1) how the process can be mapped in SAP?
I feel creating the WBS elements as statistical, the same process can be mapped. Is it possible/
2) As one project is already in progress & some postings have been taken place against internal orders, customer wants to see all those postings on new WBS element, now how to migrate the same to respective WBS element in the new system?
Thanks
Kishore

Hi Kishore Ji,
For your question, simple answer is, you want to continue all AUC under Project Systems. So far, you have considered statistical internal orders, anyway, which is not possible for you to settle directly. So, please take that amount generate uploading document by using same account and using WBS element as debit and internal order as credit and status you release for internal orders.
WBS elements you create as statistical without selecting account assignment category.
Your problem will be solved.
Assign points without fail.
ALL THE BEST.

Hi Manoj,
I need to understand your process in more detail.
How do you procure? Create a sales order with TAS item category to create a PReq and PO?
Very simple explanation: Resource Related billing/DIP profiles are used to accumulate costs on WBS elements and then bill the client as needed.

Fund accounting active: layout 1-701 is unsuitable

hi experts,
when iam trying to do Detail cost planning in CJR2 its showing that "fund accounting active: layout 1-701 is unsuitable".
please help me out.
Thanks and regards
sravani

sravani,
You are receiving this error because planing layout 1-701 does not include FM objects. In fact, all of the standard layouts do not include the necessary FM objects.
You'll need to determine what FM objects are required for an account assignment. For example, a customer might require Grants, Funds, Functional Areas, and Funded Programs to be included in the account assignments. Then use transaction OPO1 to create a new layout with these FM objects.
Building a layout is just like building a Report Painter report.
Hope this helps,
Matt

Service order and WBS Element

Hello Experts,
I have a question regarding WIP service order costs. Can we post the costs of a WIP service order to a WBS element? IF so where do we link the service order and project/WBS Element? How do we post the costs to WBS elements?
Appreciate your help and time in this regard.....
Thanks,
Harish R

My problem scenario is like this.
We have two plants A and B of the same Co.Cd. We are physically closing plant A and moving everything into B. Now the open service order costs from plant A have to be moved to plant B. How do we do this?
Do we have to create a new service order/WBS element for all old open service order/wbs element?
Also where do we connect the service order and wbs element?
Appreciate your help and time.
Thanks,
Harish R

Order or WBS budget carry forward!

Hi all,
Normally if we budget the order or WBS by year, we will need to run budget carry forward at the year end closing. But if we just use the overall budget and not use the budget by year at all, do we still need to run the budget carry forward at the year end closing?
And also will there be any problem if we budget the order or WBS only by overall and we use the IM to allocate the budget later?
Thanks,
Ting

Hi,
If you use overall budget, no carry-over procedure is required.

Eli

PEC in Investment Orders and WBS

Thanks : VYN

Plan data for Statistical wbs elements are not eligible for assesments/distributions and settlements.
In actuals , orders can be set as senders and receivers. Use trans KCAU to customize yur assesments.

Re: Internal Orders after REL for Network Activity

Dear all,
Purchase Requisition (PR) will be automatically created after the Network Activity is Released (REL). However, for the PR created, Internal Order (IO) number would need to be maintained for reporting of the expenses in the FICO.
Hence, is the a method where we can maintain an Internal Order number in the PR automatically created through PS module? Or is enhancement development required to prompt a field for user to enter the IO number at the time the Network Activity is released?
Please advise.
Thanks.

you can create another customer field on the activity using an exit
go to txn SMOD
enter CN* and click on the match code button
you should get the CNEX0xxx number for fields on network activity
note - the PR created will have an account assignment of the network activty number
When creating PO you will need to ensure that the assignment is changed to internal order
I still do not beleieve this is a correct way - obviously your client have got it wrong and need to change
Lastly what is the benefit of having the Internal order number in the network activity as it will not automatically in the PO!!

Getting Billing Element in Purchase Order Using WBS element.

Hi,
What is the process and logic to get the billing element and the corresponding Sales order details using the WBS element or network of the account assignment category in the Purchase order line item.Please suggest the tables to be used to fetch the Sales order details using this procedure.
Thanks
Anand

Project PO can be generated in following methods.
1.When a Material attached to Activity in the Project, PR can be generated with A/C assignement Q. System wil copy the WBS element to which activity is assigned in the account assignment tab of PR. When PO is created with reference to PR, system wil automatically copy the WBS from the PR in to PO account assignment tab.
2. U can directly create PO with account assignment Q and assign WBS in account assignment tab.

Customized R12 Standard Purchase Order report with custom data and layout

Hi all,
We need to customize the seeded Purchase Order report in R12 to add an additional section to include cost data coming from our custom table. The key is that our customized report should be launched instead of the seeded report via various PO forms (e.g. View Document menu option, PO Communications form to email, fax and print PO, etc).
I manually set up a custom Document Type Layout for the Document "Standard Purchase Order" to use my customized template so my custom layout is shown instead of the R12 layout, but according to Oracle support the report can only draw data from a set of seeded Oracle views like po_headers_xml,po_lines_xml etc.
Any suggestions how we can add our custom data to PO report in R12?
Thanks! Mike.

Hi Mike
thats a tough one, the PO generation is a bit restrictive to say the least when it comes to customizing. It sounds like you have worked out how to get your own template in there to render the PO.
On the data front, all I can think of is to customize and replace the seeded PO view with one that incorporates your extra data.
Or, get into the page customization world and write your own extract and format concurrent program/procedure and then hook it onto the buttons where you want to launch it.
You might have more luch, response wise from the EBS PO forum.
