Procurement for Projects

Dear all
Could explain how the material procurement for projects happen? What's the difference between this and normal procurement?

HI
Its the same Only u wil have to use the Item category' P' for projects.which impies that the procurement is done against the said Projects.
Also this can be mapped with PS module where a central Project will be created. The project will be broken down in to no of Work break dowmn structures which will be assigned a cost element.
The total expenditure on each WBS will be determined using the WBS element.
The Item category of P as Account assignment category of P have to be used for the PO's. The corresponding WBS element and the G/L account has also to be entered at the item level.
Hope this helps.

  • Moving Average Price does not get updated for Project Stock

    Hello Experts
    We have an Engineer-to-Order implementation for our client. Accordingly procurement is done per project. Each Project issues its PRs which are then converted to POs and recieved into Project Stock.
    While assigning the material to the Network activity in Project (using material component) the system uses the price found in the material master (MAP or STD) as a planned cost appended to the project.
    Problem:
    while procuring the material, when we receive it into Project Stock (Mvt 101 Q + ) the Moving Average Price in the material master does not get updated. this way all newly created material master will never have a moving average price, thus whenever we try to assign them to the project we receive an error message (Cost for Material Component ###Mat.Num### cannot be determined.
    Question:
    How can I get the system to update moving average price (for all types of stock) based on procurement for project stock.???
    Your help is kindly appreciated.

    I'm sorry for the confusion
    Case:
    The T-code is CJ20N Project Builder in PS module
    we are assigning material components to network activities under a certain WBS element in the project.
    there is a function in the Project Builder to calculate the cost of a network. it uses the costing variant assigned to the network which is PS02 (We get the error here)
    The costing variant has a valuation variant which lists a series of strategies  to get the material price. Planned 1 if not then STD if not then MAP. (you can choose between many options via a drop down menu) you can choose 5 consequent options.
    The MAP that the valuation variant is coded to get is the Plant Stock MAP -- Or the Project Stock MAP but only Per WBS element.
    The MAP that the Actual postings update is the Project Stock MAP only Per WBS element.
    This means that if you use a material component to purchase material 123 Acc.As. Q for WBS X for 10 $ then you try to assign a new material component with the same material 123 to WBS Y, the system will not get a MAP. because it's stored in QBEW per WBS element.
    This way the system will never get the MAP right.
    However, we don't always use project stock to procure for projects, for some requirements we can assign and use plant stock as well for Projects. that way we need the MAP from plant stock.
    In the Valuation Variant you can use a User Exit Strategy. The user exit's name is COPCP005
    My Suggestion is:
    Use the User Exit COPCP005 to calculate the { Total value / the total quantity (MAP) from QBEW + Total value / total quantity (MAP) from MBEW } / 2
    which is the MAP for both plant and project stock together, since that we are going to use both.
    Q: Is this correct !?

  • Procurement as Stock Item Can it be used for Projects & Maintenance

    Hi Experts,
    I have new business requirement with respect to Stock Item.
    We have two Material Types
    1. ZPRJ - These stock items are exclusively used for Projects - further capitalization - Valuation Class & GL Account is different
    2. ZRSA - These stock items are exclusively used for maintenance spares - Valuation class & GL Account is different
    we received requirement for a material,
    1. Procurement as Stock Item (Inventory) first and later use the same
          1. Stock Item in Projects
          2. Maintenance Purchase
    is it possible in standard SAP the above requirement can be met,
    Pl help
    Thanks in advance
    Srihari

    Hi Srihari,
    Any valuated material type can be purchased directly to consumption (project, maintenance, etc.) or first purchased to stock and then issued from stock charging the corresponding object (project, maintenance, etc.)
    You purchase to consumption using a PO with account assignment category (AA categories K, Q and E are a bit special - there you purchase to stock, but special stock). You purchase to the (general use) stock using PO without AA category. The receipt (101) goes to stock (and stock account). Later when you want to use your material for a project, use trs MB1A (or MIGO with "goods issue" option) with mvt type 221 (or 261 if you don't use SAP PS system, but handle projects as "internal orders"). To issue material charging a PS "network", use mvt 281. To issue to PM order use mvt 261 and to issue charging a cost centre directly use mvt 201.
    Hope this is clear.

  • Moving avergae price updation in material master for project stock

    Dear All,
    My query is pertaining to updation of MAP( moving average price) for project specific procurement ( as project stock) for valuated project stock.
    As  definelty the cost of procurement gets consumed by project .but i want to know does the project stock procurement still updates the moving avergae price or not.
    Ex:-Suppose MAP in material master is 10 USD ( with qty 1)and i procure the same material ( qty 1)for project with account assignment Q for 9 USD . now will the MAP in material master becomes 9.5 USD or it remains 10 usd.?
    Please reply urgently
    Regards
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    If your Project Stock is valuated, then, the valuation data for it is stored in a different table: QBEW.
    The normal, anonymus warehouse stock (the unrestricted use stock which is not assigned to any project or to any sales order) has its valuation data stored in MBEW.
    The "Accounting 1" view in the Material Master MM03 ONLY displays the data of MBEW.
    In the material master you will never see the valuation data of the valuated project stock (table QBEW) or the valuated sales order stock (valuation indicator "M" - table EBEW).
    The valuation data for the tables QBEW and EBEW can be seen in SE16 or in the transaction MBBS.
    Also note that these valuated special stocks are managed independently of the normal stock. If, for example, you change the Moving Average Price of your normal stock in MBEW, this will not have any influence on your project stock, as the data is under a totally diferent table QBEW.
    I hope this helps you,
    Esther.

  • Account determination for project stock delivery (for movement type 281Q)

    Hello
    We are trying to carry out delivery for project stock (CNS0) using  movement type 281Q.
    We notice that there is no account modifier availalbe for this scenario resulting in error during PGI. However, we can do PGI after changing the config of account determination without account modifier.
    Since working without an account modifier is not acceptable for various business reasons, we must have an account modifier defined. We are wondering why SAP has not provided a standard solution for dealing with project stock delivery.
    Can any one please suggest how to deal this situation.
    Thanks and warm regards,

    We have business requirement as stated below:
    We need to procure materials for specific Projects but also want to track the stock for the Project by value in the invnetory. In other words, the encumbrance of the procurement needs to take place against the Project but we want to be able to take it into inventory as a valuated stock and issue to the WBS whenever it is required.
    Is this possible?  What we know is that as soon as we give reference of the WBS for the Procurement, it gets expensed to the Project and we cannot value manage in inventory.
    The reason for this requirement is there is a long time between when the item is procured and when it is used for the project. Till such time we have to track the Project items in the inventory as any other stock but its still tagged for the project and encumbrance would need to have happened
    Any ideas on how to deal with this will be appreciated
    Thanks

  • Report Painter Drilldown on Cost Element for Project Systems

    I am currently working on a report for Project Systems. I am trying to copy the functionality of the Internal Order summary (60I2-001) into report group 6P3. I was able to copy the whole layout and also the values of 6oI2-001 into a copy of 6PP4-001 but when I double click on "Balance" it is bringin up the ALV report that 6PP4-001 is using. I would like to call another report which looks like 6LS0-001 but contains Project System info made in report painter when I double click on Balance. Is this possible? Please let me know how.

    Hi Avinash,
    See my replies below.
    1 a & B: You are planning Qty on NWA and capturing costs - labor & Equipment on NWA elements.
    When  you are having elaborated to NWA-Element level, split your total work on each NWA-element and post labor cost. Thus you will have planned Vs actual costs at one place.
    coming to equipment cost - are you capturing using PO through GR?.
    2.a : Option1- create a separate WBS elements for materials and plan cost at WBS level. That value would be your total planned cost of material procurement as estimated. Under this WBS elements create NWAs and assign the materials. With this set up you can assign material and procure so that will have actual costs coming from GR.
    Option 2: Create a one General Cost activity and assign the total planned cost of material on this NWA.
    When you assign the material components, diligently you have to reduce the equivalent amount from the general costs activity. Also note that on component screen, you have to check box "Cost relevant" so that material cost will add to Cost NWA. Let the different materials  have their own valuation class and have default CEs accordingly. that would not be big issue.
    Please discuss with your MM team to get more information. Also my suggestion is to leave blank CE field in configuration.
    The option2 is very cumbersome and high risk but one have to be very cautious to reduce the value from Cost NWA in order to sustain the planned material costs whenever they added.
    3. I have answered the relevance of Cost relevance check box in above.
    Hope above makes sense.
    Thanks,

  • Pricing Schema for Project System

    Dear Sappers,
    I'm configuring Pricing Schema for Project System(PS) module.
    The requirement is, the schema will be in such a way that it supports both excise, CST, VAT and service tax.
    In PS module the user raises a Purchase Order having procurement of material as well as taking service from Vendor.For this in PO he will maintain both material as well as service.
    I'm configuring the Pricing schema in MM - Purchasing - Condition.
    My question is for materials procurement, everything is working fine.But for service respect to activity number I want to maintain service tax and other cess in condition record.
    But to maintain service tax & other cess for activity number, I want the access sequence of sevice to be in Purchasing.I've taken the standard table for Plant, Vendor, Purchase Organinzation and activity number combination from External Service management and making a new access sequence in MM - Purchasing.All fields are coming but for Activity number, it not taking the document structure and showing error.
    How to overcome this??
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
    Warm Regards
    PKB

    Hi Pankaj,
    Thanks for your suggestions.
    As per you reply, the access sequence is already maintain in External Service Management.But I want to bring the same combination Plant, Vendor, Purchase Organizartion and Activity number that is Table 97 to MM - Purchasing - Conditions- Access Sequence.
    I've tried to do it, but when I'm creating in MM - Purchasing, all document structure is copying except activity number.What I analyse the error is due to application area.Activity number is MS (External Service Management) area but i'm trying to do in M(Purchasing)
    Even though when I enter manually MS for the access sequence system is not taking.
    Suggest me.

  • MRP for Project MD51

    Hi all,
    I have a problem that is showed below:
    Our general stock is 100 for material ABC (procurement type is F: external procurement).
    We have 3 project stock for 3 WBS element. They are
            - Project stock 1: 0
              OrdRes: 50
            - Project stock 2: 0
              OrdRes: 30
            - Project stock 3: 0
              OrdRes: 60
    Total requiment for 3 WBS element is 140.
    When I run MRP for PS by tcode MD51, the system generate 3 PR for material ABC particular for each of OrdRes.
    1. I think that the system will generate 3 transfer posting for each of OrdRes, doesn't is? That is the first system.
    2. The system will generate one PR (quantity 40) to cover 3 OrdRes based on current stock (quantity 100), doesn't is? That is the second question.
    3. Are there any distribution key to distribute auto from general stock to project stock? And when I run MRP by MD51, the system will generate PR with quantity exactly for each OrdRes, doesn't is?
    Thanks all

    Hi Mario
    I have checked by assign "2" in field individual/collect on tab MRP4. When I have assigned this material to activity in project and release. in MD04, I can't see Order Reservation be assigned in project stock. So, when I run MD51 for project, the system does not generate planned order for this material while I want run MRP for WBS element
    Besides, if field individual/collect on tab MRP4 not be assigned "2", the order reservation will be appear follow project stock in MD04. And when I run MD51, the system will not check stock in general stock.
    I wonder why SAP does not support for me to run MRP for each WBS element and generate planned order base on check general stock and project stock at the same time?
    Can you aupport me to solve this case
    Thanks and regards

  • Costing for Miscellaneous issue transaction for project

    We have a different requirement from the business
    ours is R&D and we are using Oracle projects to track our projects costing and billing
    we procure some material from outside supplier and it will get costed to the project but when any engineer want to use the material they want to reduce the material from the inventory by they dont want the cost to get reduced from the project
    usually engineers take the material by doing miscellaneous issue for some testing and they never get in to the project again it will be treated as samples
    currently when i do the miscellaneous issue it reduces the inventory from project and also the cost will get reduced.
    Can someone help me out since it is very critical for us to acheive this,
    Regards

    Dear Lavanya,
    The material should be first reeived to Inventort then transferred to projects
    Ex        100 Quantity is Received @ 10 Each - Inventory Material value will be 1000   Unit Price 10
    Now     10 Quantity is Issued(Samples) @ 0 each -       Inventory material Value will be 1000   Unit Price  11.11
    Now Transfer the remaining quantity to Projects i,e 90 quantity, & inventory material value will be 1000, unit price will be 11.11 (Use Project related Misc Transaction for Project Issues)
    Even though material is issued with 0 unit price A/c entries will be generated
    Dr. Given A/c
    Cr. Inventory material value A/c
    Here first the material is directly received into Inventory (Not related to projects organization) Miscellaneous Issue (For samples) is done with 0 unit cost after that The material is transferred to projects (Project Issues)
    For Miscellaneous Issue (Samples Issue) a Personalization is need to done such that the Unit price will be freeze to 0.

  • No reservations relevant to MRP exist for project

    Hi all,
    While doing MRP for WBS through MD51 i have got an error " No reservations relevant to MRP exist for project " . I am not getting where the problem is occurs.
    Regards,
    Swapnil Vaidya

    Dear .
    1.Please check wether in your project builder(CJ20N) Project Status is REL  and  Procurement Type is  :Reservation for WBS element . then it will not create this masg.
    2.Check whether MRP run date is after the project start date as well as the WBS element is also with in the time frame
    3.Check the material master parameters(MRP1-MRP4 view ) for Project material which are to be planned by that Project WBS .
    Check and revert

    Hai Experts,
          Please help me 'How to find next number range for project definition in tcode "CJ20N". I was trying in function module NUMBER_GET_NEXT. Is it right function module? If its right what input i need to give for this tcode and for the field project definition?
    Note: I searched in forum before posting, but couldn't find the solution.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    For project defination internal number is assigned by system.
    When you saves's project then system allocate one number to project defination, you can view it,
    SE11 >>> table  PROJ >> Click on contents >>> execute,
    here you will get your project defination & number is assigned to project defination.

  • Production Order For Project with plant stock

    Hi,
    We have a scenario where in we are required to create a production order for a project.
    But the material(raw material) is in a storage location and is a stock item. Even the header material is also a stock item and it to stored in the storage location.
    But the order is to be created for Project and to be settled to the Project. Now the system is not allowing me to create the order.
    The error is :
    "Project  does not allow make-to-order stock
    Message no. CO746
    Diagnosis
    There is no project stock for the project.
    To create a production order with reference to a WBS element the project must allow project stock to be maintained.
    Procedure
    You should select a project that allows project stock."
    Now,
    I don't want to have a project stock. How to go forward...
    Regards
    Pavan

    Hi,
    What is the strategy you are using. If you are using strategy 20, then chnage it to 40.
    Also maintain individual/collective indicator to "1" - individual in MRP-4 view. So that when the order is created, the stock will be reserved as Q-project stock.
    thanks and regards

  • Opening Balances for Project Costing in R12

    Hi All,
    What are the Open transactions should be migrated as Opening Balance in Project Costing (R12) for Projects and Tasks. Here at client place cost will come from Inv, PO, AP and OTL to Project costing (R12). Can you please explain in detail (Opening Balances & Historical Cost - How to Migrate)?
    Waiting for replies...

    Hi
    Usually on implementation of Projects, people are migrating total historical costs per project.
    Depend on your current system, you may convert the historical data summarized by project, task, expenditure organization and expenditure type. There is an option to summarize costs into the latest period, just before starting the future transactions import into Projects. Otherwise, consider summarizing cost data per period, per quarter or per year.
    The summarized data may be loaded as miscellaneous expenditures into Projects.
    Be aware that for converted expenditures you should setup a Transaction Source which is costed and accounted.

  • COGS Value showing as null for Projects

    Hi All,
    We have a report called Revenue Report. In this report we track the revenue and cogs value for both OM orders and Projects. We are able to see th cogs value for OM order(i.e. sales order)but not for projects. We are using OOTB out of box mapping(i.e.SDE_ORA_GLCOGS) for populating cogs value.So we have approached oracle team to address this issue. Please find the below reply from Oracle. Can somebody help me how to calculate COGS value for projects.
    BIApps 7.9.6.x do not support the integration of Project and COGS out of the box. If you have cogs trx from Projects and would like to extract these trx, you can customize the SDE sql.

    (1, 36) = (Issue from stores, Deferred Cost of Goods Sold)
    (36, 35) = (COGS Recognition, Cost of Goods Sold)
    These are OOTB default values to extract the cogs trx for sales order etc. These are configurable. You can add/modify these values as needed. You can check the OLTP MTL module for the meaning of each values
