PM objects in WBS elements

Hi Experts
What is the relevancy of Functional location and equipment in assignments tab of WBS element?
warm regards
ramSiva

Hi,
If you are doing a project on a maintenance object i.e. for eg a transformer, which will be maintained as Equioment or FLOC in PM.So you details out the steps in PS and to identify the location you maintain the Equipment/FLOC.

WBS Element vs investment order

Good Day,
Please can someone explain the following..................
I have CO objects a WBS element and an investment order and I have posted budgeted values to these CO Objects. I have posted actual values to these Co object via the MM and FI-AA module.
When I display the budgeted values for the WBS Element and the invesment order for the fields BPJA-WTJHR the vaules are positive. Once the actual values are posted to the WBS Element and investment order the values are displayed differently on the table COSP-(WTG001-WTG016).
For the WBS Element the values are dispalyed as negative on table COSP -(WTG001-WTG016) and for the investment order the values are displayed as postive but both values for the different CO objects are expenditure which has occured via the MM and FI-AA modules Therefore can someone please explain to me why these values are displayed differently yet the budgeted values are displayed the same.
Your soonest response would be appreciated.
Kind Regards

Hi
please gop through this notes it may be help full for you...............
Planning and Budgeting Measures
Use
Using this function, you can plan and budget investment measures, even if they are not already assigned to an investment program.
Integration
All of the planning and budgeting functions of orders or projects are at your disposal for the corresponding measures. For more information, see the documentation for the R/3 components, Internal Orders (CO-OM-OPA) and Project System (PS) .
Orders or WBS elements that are assigned to investment programs cannot receive their overall budget by means of the budgeting functions in CO and PS, when the Budget distribution indicator is set in the program position to which they are assigned. Instead, they are limited to receiving their overall budget only by means of the budgeting functions in Investment Management.
Prerequisites
Certain restrictions apply when an investment program type is entered in the budget profile of an order or WBS element. When this is the case, the order or WBS element cannot receive overall budget unless you assign it (or a higher-level WBS element ) to an investment program position. Until you make this assignment to a program position, the fields for the overall budget and/or annual budget for orders or WBS elements are not ready for input and cannot be changed.
Activities
To plan or budget orders, choose Internal orders ® Planning ® Overall values ® Change or Budget ® Original budget ® Change.
To plan or budget WBS elements, choose Investment projects ® Planning ® Total costs ® Change or Budgeting ® Original budget ® Change.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Report Painter Request - Cost Center and WBS Element

Hi Everyone,
Currently, my company settles all project related expenses through to a cost center by way of an internal settlement cost element (category 21). The issue with this is that when the expense gets to the cost center, they lose all visability as to where the expense originated, such as salaries or travel expense (category 1 cost elements). We can't switch the settlements to the originating cost element from wbs to cost center just because of the additional data/volume that will cause. My thought was to create a report painter that can run by cost center but also show the wbs's that settle to that cost center and group the expenses by primary cost element (cat 1). I'm assuming that there is a way to marry a cost center and wbs element by way of the wbs settlement rule but how would that be done for reporting purposes? I've seen it done before by way of a nightly job that created sets based on the combination of cost center and wbs but I'm not sure how that was done. Any advise and examples?
Example:
Cost Center: IT
WBS: A.0017.01.01 (settles to cost center IT)
Postings made:
1. CC IT and CE 552000 "salaries"..............................$20,000
2. WBS A.0017.01.01 and CE 552000 "salaries"........... $5,000
3. Settlement of WBS to CC (expenses flow through to CC IT by way of CE 985000)
I want to run CC IT and see that the account 552000 really shows $25,000 and can be broken down by cost object (CC and WBS by the amounts above)
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Peter,
I had a similar requirement and used report painter report group 1SHK-002 (in library 1VK).
I took a copy of the standard and ameneded it slightly, I switched the explode so it occured on the cost center not cost element.
The report runs so that direct costs on the cost center are shown at primary cost level. And values settled to the cost center are shown on the partner object. In your case i guess WBS Elements (Partner ObjType WBS).
Now in my case I didnt need cost element breakdown on partner level, just on cost center so effectively I have(sorry for text alignment but I hope you get the idea):
GL1   ............. 100
GL2   ............. 250
+ Cost center1 total ....350
GL3 .............   50
GL4 ............. 100
+ Cost center2 total.... 150
Primary Cost Total ..... 500
X-YZ-1.200 .............   50
X-YZ-1.400 ............. 100
+ WBS total ............. 150
IO 1............. 100
IO 2 ............. 100
+IO total ............. 200
Partner Total............. 350
Overall total ............. 850.
Its not exactly like your requirement but it might be a good report for you to work with to get what you need.

How to set CRTD- REL for a project consist of more than 100 WBS elements

Dear Experts,
Now our clients is encounting such a problem:
There is a WBS structure consists of ONE Level 1 WBS code, serveral Level 2 WBS code and hundreds of Level 3 WBS code. All the Level 2 WBS are created automatically according to the data transferred from another system via interface. Level 1 and Level 3 WBS can be created mannually in project builder. And all the status of Level 2 WBS are set to CRTD once they are created automatically.
Level 1 WBS(Let's call it A) has already been set to REL. Only one Level 2 WBS (let's call it A-00) was still CRTD because *it was created after level 1 WBS A was set to REL.* And there are as much as 120 Level 3 WBS(let's call it from A-00-01 to A-00-120) was created under Level 2 WBS A-00 mannually. Now how can I set all the level 3 WBS status from "CRTD" to "REL"?
I have tried following two methods but both of them are failed.
A. Directly set Level 2 WBS A-00 or Level 3 WBS A-00-01to REL (in both CJ20n and CJ02) but the system show a Message No. BS013 falut:
Object A has system status REL, According to this status, transaction "Particially release project" is not allowed"
B. Set Level 1 WBS A to REL(in both CJ20n and CJ02) but the system runs extremly slow and finally the feedback comes to a ABAP error of "Run time error" after more than 30 minutes.
Did any of you face similar situation? Any suggestion for this issue are appreciated.
Regards,
Atom
Edited by: Atom2009 on Dec 4, 2009 1:36 PM

Check the settlement profile used in the WBS elements and project. The configuration could be such that the settlement rules are limited.
Maximum number of distribution rules
Maximum number of distribution rules for each settlement rule.
You cannot settle receivers for which there are no distribution rules.
The IMG path for this in PS is Project System -> Costs -> Automatic and Periodic Allocations -> Settlemennt -> Settlement Profile -> Create Settlement Profile.
Hope this helps.

How to find out which WBS Element is assigned to which Cost center?

Hi all,
How to find find out that this WBS element matches this cost Center? I mean, How to find that all these WBS elements are assigned to this cost center? Can you all please give me the corresponding fields and tables? And what are the fields for COST CENTER GROUP and COST ELEMENT GROUP?
Thanking you all in advance,

the connection is, when you post a FI-document:
you need a G/L - account and an account assignment
(WBS-Element or cost centre in you case WBS)
this data is put from FI per interface to Controlling:
here you have the cost-element (= G/L account)
and the CO-object
you'll find all combination of cost-elments and co-objects in Table cosp

Planning on WBS elements without cost elements

Hi all,
we are trying to implement the planning solution where users will be able to plan on individual WBS elements monthly but without providing a breakdown on cost elements. Standard SAP planning profiles allow to post plan values on WBS elements in annual view without cost elements. But when you want a monthly view the system you need to click on primary cost elements planning first.
Is there any way to plan monthly but at cost object (WBS) level only?
Many thanks,
Roman

Hi Eli,
thanks for your response. We will be using budget functionality for budget purposes but at the same time we will need to use planning on different versions. I believe there are no versions for budget.
One of the idea to minimize cost element planning is to introduce like a planning cost element to use with all planning postings and then include this into the same cost element group with the rest of cost elements for plan/actuals comparison reports.
If you have something in your mind I would appreciate your input.
Thank you,
Roman
