Poject Settlement issue - WBS to WBS

Hi Experts,
I am getting problem while settlement of the customer projects (Fixed Bid and T&M). Can anyone please help me. The details as follows :
Project has the below structure :
Project def
Top level WBS
Network linked to top level WBS
Second level WBS1
Activity1
Activity2..
Second level WBS2
Activity1
Activity2..
Now i have settlement rule on Activities as respective 2nd level WBS
And i have Settlement rule on 2nd level WBSes as Top Level WBS
Top Level WBS is the only Billing Element and it has Settlement Rule to PSG
When i run the settlement, it settles activities to the 2nd Level WBSes, but the costs on the 2nd Level WBSes stays there. The settlement of 2nd level WBSes to Top Level WBS is not happening.
When i searched SAP Customer Messages, i find that the customers faced this problem and referred some SAP note and the problem was resolved. But the SAP Note# is not mentioned.
Please help me. Thanks for going through the lenthy description !
Rajesh

Hi Virendra,
Understand and thats exactly what i am trying to do. The problem is the activities are having settlement rule for WBS and they take the WBS they belong to at the time of settlement which is 2nd level WBSes. Now
1. either i need to change the settlement rule at activities to have 1st level WBS and not 2nd level WBS. Do you know what settings i can use to get this ?
2. or Settle 2nd level WBS to 1st Level. but as you said this doesnt look like needed.
Please help.
Thanks
Rajesh

Issues with statistical WBS

Hi,
I've created a project profile for statistical WBS elements. I've also created network profile (which calls external number ranges) for this project. When I create a project in CJ20N, I'm encountering some issues. There is no issues when creating WBS elements. But the problem is, when creating networks, I'm getting a message stating "Receiver categ. WBS is not allowed by settlement prof. 000090 for this sender". What do you think should be the issue?
Aman

since the WBS is statistical you cannot settle to it
your settlement profile 00090 on the network type configuration needs to be changed accordingly

Auto Run Program not updating Settlement Rules for few WBS elements

Hi,
Addition of settlement rules for OPEX WBS.
In producion system, two jobs are running daily for generating settlement rules of WBS elements but, all WBS elements are not updating with Settlement rules.
It is becoming a problem in the Period end while doing the settlement. Currently we are updating the settlement rule manually.
We have investigated and found the following WBS element with Profile name are not updating Settlement rule.

Please suggest on this issue

Hi,
I suppose these are background jobs. Usually there is an issue with background jobs that are run for a custom developed program. Not sure why that happens. Even i faced this issue with a couple of jobs in my system. I have still not found out the reason as to why this happens. There might be a possibility that these projects were being processed in the foreground by some user and hence they were omitted from the run.
I would suggest you to consult your technical guys on this.

Capital Project Settlement Rule for lower WBS

Hello,
At my present client, for Investment projects the client want to settle top level WBS to AUC and capitalise it. So ideally the cost from lower level WBS should flow to top WBS. I am using substitution to remove investment profile from lower WBS.My concern is how do I auto populate the settlement rule for lower WBS to top WBS. I am aware about settlement strategy and OSS note 211324 (however dont want to implement this note)
The appraoch I am looking for is using "WBS_SETTLEMENT_RULE' BAdI . However this BADI calls for strategy and I could not maintain the required strategy (settlement to top WBS). Is there some BADI/Function module available which can be called for updating the settlement rules on lower WBS while saving or Release ? Can I make use of exits in Substitution?
Please let me know your opinions.
Thanks
Sarang

Thanks Virendra. I agrree the only approach is development. But I need to give inputs to my developer.
We tried with BADI "WBS_SETTLEMENT_RULE" but it didnt work as it calls strategy in configuration.
So I am checking for some other options for e.g "WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE" which is called during save or Fn modules K_SETTLEMENT_RULE_FILL or K_SETTLEMENT_RULE_SAVE which I can use. This is a client requirement to create AUC only at top level n all cost to be rolled up to superior WBS n then settle to AUC.
The other option I was thinking is of using exits thru substitution.
What will be the best approach?
Thanks
Sarang

Validation for the settlement rule of a wbs element

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement that in which i have to validate the settlement rule of the wbs done through t-code cj01/cj02/cj07,cj20n.
If the settlement receiver object is an G/L account (settlement category g/l ) then i have to check that if it is an o&m project type
wbs element settling on some already mentioned G/L e.g 0001081340,0001081341, then it should through some error like settlement rule not valid etc.
I have tried cjb1/cjb2 through badi WBS_SETTLEMENT_RULE by creating some strategy but it did not have any option for G/L
settlement reciever. Also client will not agree to this as they want to create settlement rule manually.
I have also tried the exit 'EXIT_SAPLCOI1_027 ' but its not getting triggerred during settlement rules assign mentand also i think it will not solve my purpose.
Please help me as i am struck in this for long time now.
Warm Regards,
Hariom

Hi Prabhu ,
thanks for the quick update.
I have tried many badi's and exits but they are not triggering at the saving time of the wbs.
badi :
PROJECTDEF_UPDATE
WBS_FIELDS_FOR_ASSET
WBS_USER_FIELDS_F4
WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE
WBS_SETTLEMENT_RULE
exits :
EXIT_SAPLCJWB_004
EXIT_SAPLCJWB_005
EXIT_SAPLCJWB_001
These above exits i have tried either they are not implemented or they are not triggered during saving of a wbs element.
please suggest any exit or badi's which you may have used.
Thanks and regards,
Hariom

Project Settlement Issue

Hi All,
We had an invoice that was entered with a wbs that had the following currencies: CO Currency = USD, Transaction Currency = USD and Object Currency = GBP within a company with a currency of GBP. However, when settling through CJ88, the settlement produces CO Currency = USD (zeros out), Transaction Currency = GBP (balance) and Object Currency = GBP (zeros out). So, when you try to settle for the next month, CJ88 states that there is an error states "Execute amount settlement up to and including settlement period 003 2009 first"
Message no. KD262.
As a bit of background, the project is in USD by some of the wbs elements within the project are based in GBP from the company code which is in GBP. I'm not sure how to have the settlement work out so that there is no balance.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Pete

Hi Sarang,
We settle on an individual wbs element so I tried reversing the settlement and then re-settling the wbs once again. The same issue is occurring where the CO Currency = USD, Transaction Currency = USD and Object Currency = GBP within a company with a currency of GBP. However, when settling through CJ88, the settlement produces CO Currency = USD (zeros out), Transaction Currency = GBP (balance) and Object Currency = GBP (zeros out). In order to properly settle, all 3 currencies need to zero out but it is still not working.
Any other thoughts?
Pete

Allocation Structure, Settlement issue

Dear All,
I have created a Allocation Structure with following details:
Allocation Structure: XX
Assignment: 01, 02, 03...
Co AREA: YYYY
In Source: I assigned relevant Cosat element groups
In Settelment Cost Elements: I assigned Secondary Cost elements
I have maintained the Settlement rule to settle WBS to CTR in CJ20N.
I have also checked that Allocation Structure XX is comming in Settlement paramters in the WBS (CJ20N)
After few postings on WBS element i get an error "Maintain sources for allocation structure A1 (this is pointing to a different allocation structure) in controlling area YYYY"
Ques 1: Is there any other config to be maintained required to Settle the Project to CTR.
Ques 2: In the settlement Profile what Document type i need to maintain?? Is this mandatory?
Ques 3: Is it must to create a source structure?
Warm Regards,
Jatinder

Dear Gokul,
Yes this is newly configured allocation structure.
I have created a new settlement profile (where i have also assigned the new allocation structure) and assigned the Project profile.

Jatinder

WBS settlement issue:Complete allocation structure A1.Message no. KD503

hi all
I created an WBS 600041 and through FB60 posted the JV by assigning the WBS 600041.
Then I saw in CJI3 the posting is done and it is showing there and I created a settlement rule and gave the 100 % cost settlement on AUC and saved it. Now when I go to CJ88 and do the actual settlement and gave all the parameters for full settlement and execute it is giving the following error
Complete allocation structure A1.Message no. KD503
Is this problem due to cost elements? How do I go about it.please suggest.
kind regards
Aman

HI,
Check your allocation structure OKO6 transaction. see whether your allocation structure is having the expense cost element you posted listed in it
OKO6- select your allocation structure-Assignments-source
Here the GL account should be listed

Value wrongly settled on AUC from WBS

Hello Experts
We are working on ECC 6.0.
We are using WBS to settle values on AUC & FA.
The issue is some values which were not to be capitalized have been wrongly settled on certain AUCs in previous FY 2009 (debit baalnce).
1. So is it possible to reverse the settlement of previous FY 2009 in current FY 2010?
2. If NO, then can we take out the values from AUC by some other way? I'd tried passing a FI entry using F-91 with posting key 75(credit) for AUC but system doesn't allow. Am i suppose to use some specific Transaction Types for AUC? However passing such manual entries are allowed for FA.
Please suggest.
Regards
Kapil

You have to reverse it and post again in 2009.
The differences in FI you can post with the transaction ABF1 (SAP note 69225) and reverse in 2010. The only point is that then on the end of the years AA is not in line with the values on your G/L account!

Mass deletion of settlement rules for few WBS- Codes

HI All,
I just want to know that is there any possible way to delete settlement rule in mass.
We use to upload the settlement rule data through LSMW program for all the project codes.By mistake the user has excuted twicw the LSMW program and now instead od having one settlement rule now they have two settlement rule assigned to the project code. thats is the second rule is duplicated.
now the user wnats to delete those second settlement rule which got duplicated for all the WBS codes. nearly there will be 6000 records are there which got affected by this.
No entries has been posted to those WBS codes till now.
Kindly any one suugest me how to proceed further to resolve this issue.

Hi,
In customization, use the strategy with "No Receiver" and then use transaction CJB1/ CJB2 to automatically generate the revise settlement rules without receiver.

Travel Expenses settlements against Service Order/WBS Element/Project Ord

Hi Experts,
I have one req. in Travel Expenses, i.e. need to settle travel expneses against Service Order/WBS Element/Project Order.
Can you guide me how to do this req.
Thanks & Regards
Rajesh

Hye mate,
This is possible for sure what you need to do is to go at travel request . In travel Request there is an option of Enhanced Travel cost/ Alternative master cost center. if you click on it . you would find an option of cost assignmnet click on it
there you would have option , like an excel sheet like fields of the cost centre, wbs element, profit center, order number what eve is requred and save it.
now the cot of trip would go that particulat cost center or der numbe or WBS rather then the cost center assigned at master data in ifototype 0027.

Reversal of settlement from Asset to WBS

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding reversal of settlement from AUC to asset.
I have so many line items on a WBS element, which i settled to AUC. I can see all the line items that are capitalized to AUC in CJIC screen, where i create settlement rules to settle to asset.
I have created one settlement rule for 4 line items and settled to an Asset 1. After that I have created another settlment rule for another 5 line items to settle to an asset 2 and run the settlement in CJ88 using partial capitalization, since I have some more lines left in the CJIC.
Now, when I am trying to reverse the settlement on WBS system is reversing whatever settled on asset 2 to back to AUC. I want to reverse the line items settled on Asset 1. Is it possible? If so, how can i do that? I can see all the settlements on the WBS in CJID. But, how can i reverse any settlement that is 3 to 4 months older. We are doing 4 to 5 settlements in a month
Thanks,
Satya

reversal transaction will reverse what was transacted
so you need to reverse for both asset 1 and 2 and then edefine the settlement as required after correction and then settle again

Settlement of Project through WBS Element

Hi
I tried to execute the transaction code CJ8G for settlement of WBS Element i got the following error
You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset
Message no. AA834
Diagnosis
The transaction type entered belongs to transaction type group 15. According to the specifications for this transaction type group, posting with transactions types belonging to this group are only allowed in specific asset classes (for example, asset classes for assets under construction).
The asset to which you are posting belongs to class 440000 (chart of depreciation LILK). You cannot post to this class using the transaction type you have entered.
Procedure
Check the asset number entered. You may want to allow posting with this transaction type group for the asset class of the asset.
Please advise the solution for the aforesaid error
Thanks and Best Regards
Shekhar Yecham
Edited by: Shekhar Yecham on Sep 16, 2008 7:45 PM

Hi Shekhar
In order to settle project to Asset you have to ensure that you have an asset class which has a tick for investment measure. once you create an asset class which manages investment measure , you should be able to that particular asset class. you can then further settle asset from this asset class to any other asset class.
hope this help you
thanks

Settle Secondary Cost from WBS to AUC

Hi Sapiens,
Business Requirement --> Budget Control for all Material Procurement, thereafter settlement of cost thus booked under WBS to AUC or Asset as the case maybe.
Current Setup --> Material/Inventory/Balance Sheet A/c has been made Statistical i.e. CE category "90". This is enabling AVAC during procurement and budget control. However when trying to settle the WBS it is NOT settling, error - "no cost available to settle".
How to resolve the matters.
Regards,
GM

Here is what SAP help says for cost element category 90:
90: Cost Elements for Balance Sheet Accounts in FI
Automatically assigned when you create cost elements in CO whose general ledger accounts in FI are asset reconciliation accounts (special balance sheet accounts), not income statement accounts. You cannot change this category in CO master data maintenance.
FI does not require CO account assignments to cost elements of category
90. However, if you enter an account assignment, it is only recorded statistically for true objects.
Category 90 cost elements enable you to check the budget of an order or project when you acquire fixed assets that can be directly capitalized. To do this, enter the capital investment order or the WBS element in the corresponding field of the asset master data. Asset Management (AM) ensures that the specified order or WBS element is automatically entered in the document during the asset acquisition.
In CO the order or WBS element is debited statistically. This statistical debiting is checked by the system using the budget during availability control.
Notice the words in bold above. Apparently, CE category 90 is when you acquire fixed assets that can be directly capitalized. You need to specify the WBS element in the corresponding asset master data.
I think your candidate is CE category 22.
22: External Settlement
Used to settle order costs, project costs, or cost object costs to objects outside of CO. These objects could be assets (Asset Management), materials (Materials Management), or general ledger accounts (Financial Accounting). The R/3 System creates an accounting document when the costs are settled.
Cost elements of this category cannot be used for settlement within CO (cost centers, orders, projects, and so on). Use secondary cost element category 21 for this purpose. The system does not create an accounting document when costs are settled within CO.

Check settlement rule at save WBS

Hi guys,
I have a question and I'd very thankful if someone answered me.
I would need create a validation in the at save on CJ20N transaction. This validation should check settlement rule ( Really is need that checks fixed asset in the settlement rule).
We are usign this BADI WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE and the method AT SAVE, is this possible to check in this BADI :
1. WBS status ( current status, not information stored in JEST table)
2. and check that WBS division is the same as Fixed asset division ( ANLA) , being fixed asset the reciver in the WBS settlement rule. ????
really our problem is that we are not sure how to retrieve information at this point from another tables different from PROJ, PRPS, RCJ_PRPSUP and SYST.
Thank you!!!!

Hi Muralidhar!!!!
Thank you very much for your reply!!! We are trying to use that BAPI for check WBS status before it is saved.
Related to settlement rule information our problem is we don't know how obtain information from another table different from PROJ, PRPS, ....in this BADI, ( really is a technical question). We are creating a WBS ( which it has not be saved yet), settlement rule information is going to be saved in COBRA and COBRB but it is not yet.
Do you know how do I have to program it in order to obtain this information?
Thanks a lot!!!
