Project Cost forecast

While executing transaction CJ9L, no cost to complete are calculated
for my internal activity.
I have completed the customizing so that :
I have activity-assigned networks which are both appended and
apportioned.
The activity is assigned to a WBS element.
I have posted times on the activity thus there is a partial
confirmation on the activity.
I have indicated the POC for this activity.
Thanks for your feed-back on any other action that must be done for the
cost to complete to be calculated.

Hi Nocolas,
Actually the CJ9L (project forecast) is a part of PLM (actually Project System), which you may post it in PLM forum.
Regarding the question, I think, you mix the two terms CTC (costs to complete) and POC. Certainly it make sense to integrate two business functionalities, but unfortuenately till now, the two functionalites do NOT affect each other.
The result of CJ9L create additionaly entries in the COSS & COSP table using the forecast version. You can run the standard PS info. report to get the proejct forecast be showed. The POC value is never tauched.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

CJ9L, calculation of cost forecast plan

Hi,
Prerequisites: Plan work 260 hours. Constraints on start and finish date. Distribution rule is equal to distribution according to factory calender. For scenario 2) actual work is 100 hours. Remaining work is 160 hours. Duration of activity is 1 year.
Scenario 1) When calculating project cost forecast without any actual cost from time reporting, the cost forecast is distributed over the remaining duration of the activity.
Scenario 2) When calculating project cost forecast with actual cost from time reporting, the cost forecast is planned on the same period as the forecast report is run. We would like this to be done in the same way as in scenario 1 above and distributed according to the factory calendar and not have all of the remaining cost on the last period of the activity.
If someone out there has experience of this issue, we appeciate your advice.
Best Regards ,
Ioannis

Hi Ioannis,
Please see the online document
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/c2/1ad778462611d2b4310060
94b9c9be/content.htm
to see how the internal-processed activity should work in CJ9L.
I do think, the described scenario 2 do not work in that way because the factors you described. As far as I remember, the following factors are relevant for such case.
1. If the activity is paritally confirmed. What are the actual finish and forecast finish (or remaining duration).
2. Is the forecast work maintained.
3. What is the key date of CJ9L.
Generally there is no logic just to put the remaining costs in the last period, but it can happend that based on the factors above, which uses the last period as remaining time frame.
Kind regards,

Cost forecast and project stock

Dear all,
in our setup, we are using non valuated project stock. However, the 1st project to buy a component has to pay for it. Therefore, we activated the "Planification" flag in the network type (OPSC).
As a consequence, planned costs from network orders append the WBS element planned costs but not the assigned values.
We would like now to use cost forecast. It means we have to assign values which is exactly what we disabled by our previous config.
We are looking for a way to raise assigned values and roll up planned costs for project stock materials.
I tried to have a look in the Item Category setup but so far, I did not find anything.
Would anyone have an idea?
Thanks,
Thibault

Hi
thank you for your reply.
OPUV and OPSV are already configured as per your details.
However, we needed to tick the "Planification" in OPSC in order to have planned cost for Project Stock materials.
We are using non valuated project stock and it's the only way we found to roll up planned costs for those materials...

Delete a Cost Forecast version

All,
I have a CO 'Cost Forecast' version in a development client. It is only flagged for 'Plan'.
It has been used for project forecasting (cj9l).
I want to delete the version. How do I delete the dependent entries before I could delete the version itself?
Appreciate your help.
thanks, Mathavan

How to accomplish Revenue and Cost forecasting in Oracle?

We are implementing Oracle Rel 11.5.10. and have a specific business requirement for Revenue and Cost Forecasting.
We have Projects integrated with OM using custom extensions (We are not using Project Manufacturing). Revenue is based on scheduled shipment dates and Cost is based on PO Promise Dates. Both Revenue and Cost are forecasted for 2 quarters and are rolled up on revenue category level. When Scheduled shipment date changes it is required to automatically forecast the revenue in the period scheduled ship date falls into. We understand that out of the box functionality does not support roll up of forecast at revenue category level which leads to displaying budgets, commitments and atuals in different lines. Has any one done this in any of there client engagements? Can anyone explain how Revenue and Cost forecasting is done in a High tech Network Equipment manufacturer which usies Projects.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Amit

Hi
My understanding is that your entire solution is based on custom proceses.
You might have a program that reads the scheduled shipment date from OM and generate budget lines for revenue.
You might have a program that reads the PO Promise date from Purchasing, and generate budget lines for costs.
You could integrate those sources and generate a new version of forecast every time you need to update your plans in Oracle Projects.

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.

Settlement of Project Cost and revenue to GL

I am trying to Settle the project Cost and Revenue to GL account. For the same I have defined settlement profile maintaining GL as optional receiver and then I have maintained Source structure for cost and revenue as to separate them at the time of defining settlement rule, defined Allocation structure where in receiver against source, I have assigned GL as by cost element receiver. After that I have maintained settlement rule for WBS element, but when I am running a settlement is done to either of the GL for cost or Revenue which ever is defined first in settlement rule. It is not creating any settlement for second line item of the settlement rule and system is not giving any error message as well.
Where as if I am trying individually only for cost or revenue , settlement is completed with all the values but with any accounting document generated, but if I see the entries to that GL, a settlement entry is created for that transaction.
Can anyone please help in solving this issue ASAP.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
    If it is posting to the first line means....
Follow the steps below:
First try to create a project and post the actuals and revenues.
Go to cost element report pick up those cost elements both for costs and revenues.
Go to Soruce Structure in the config, define the structure with name for Ex: 'Z1' and define two assignments, one is Costs and other Revenue, by selecting the costs go to Source mention the cost element where the actual costs are posted on (Mention only that cost element no other cost elements), next select the Revenue assignment and click on Source and mention the only cost element where the revenue wsa posted (Mention only that revenue cost element no other cost elements) and save the transaction.
Come back to project builder, select the wbs and click on settlement rule, in the menu goto-->settlement parameters and check whether the source and settlement profiles are correct or not, incase source structure is not available mention the same.
come back to settlement Rule overview and fill the fields as mentioned below:
1st line:   Category: GL
              GL Account: GL Account Number
              Source Structure: COSTS
2nd Line: Category: GL
              GL Account: GL Account Number (Revenue Account)
              Source Structure: REVENUE.
Now Run the Settlement for the specific period costs posted, the costs will be posted seperately to the two different GL Accounts.
I think this will resolve your problem.

Project cost plan Header Data table ( PS module - T.code CJR2)

Hi,
I am working on PS module where we have to build a integration between PS Cost plan (At WBS Element level) to SD Quotation. I have to use transaction CJR2 for this. we will add the custom field 'Indicator' on the initial screen of transaction CJR2 for this. I want to know what is the HEADER DATA table for Project Cost Plan, so i can add this custom field in that table and letter on use in CJR2.
If someone have done any kind of modification for work on CJR2 transaction, please provide me some information on this since i am first time working on PS module. I need some information on modifying the initial screen on transaction CJR2.
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Thanks,

A Standard RRB report that shows actual project cost line items .... ?

A Standard RRB report that shows actual project cost line items but that also shows amount/qty by rejected, billed, to be billed, postponed?
I'm looking for something that will allow project managers to reconciile with the RRB totals and be able to dril in a see a level detail not available in RRB to decide what should be billed, what should should be deferred (postponed) and what should be rejected out of hand.
Thanks.

Thanks Virendra Pal but the VAx5 reports are not really the answer - maybe a custom report will be required right enough.

Creating Master Project - Child Projects Hierarchy in Project Costing

Hello,
Is it possible to create a Master Project (for example, for a division) and one or many Child projects for that divisions as the projects get rolled out?
A division is given a budget which can be assigned to the Master Project and as the divisional Projects are rolled out with a specific budgeted $s, the Master Budget would be reduced with a new version, so the total budget amount at Master Project Level remains the same.
Just like each sub-task roll up to a Top task and top-task make up the total Project, is it possible to create hierarchical Master-child project relationship with up roll up capability.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Note: The client @ 11.5.10 does not have License to use Project Contracts, and uses only the Project Costing module.
Regards.

Hey, those ain't "newbie" questions. The first one gets posted to the Forum Comments forum weekly. The second one, well I should have posted my normal detail, but got lazy - mea culpa, mea culpa.
1.) This ARTICLE should step you through the processes with the e-mails. If you have any questions, let us know. There are several places, where e-mail notification can be turned ON and OFF. Some are global, and some are specific to threads.*
2.) Ah, the ImgBurn site. The top 2/3 are all ads. Hey, it's great free software, so who can blame 'em? Scroll down to where the page has the various versions and what they addressed. There is a Download button there (well below those ads). That is what you want. Normally, I mention the scrolling way down page, but you caught me here.
Good luck,
Hunt
* Going back a few months, while trying to help another user on the Forum Comments forum, I got hit with a global change in my e-mail settings. I got about 1,000/day, for every forum that I participate in - think 1,000 x PS, PrPRo, Encore, InDesign, Illustrator, Audition, PrE and all of their sub-fora!

What kind of component to use as CI if I want to add a project costing rec

Seems like the Project_Express and Intfc_Proj_Express components do not allow, by default, for a creation of new records. When I tried to enable the creation by allowing for Adds in the component properties, and then create CIs from these components, it still will not allow me to create a record (the create in the CI tester is disabled). Any ideas on how to create a project costing transaction record via a CI?

Allright I found an answer myself. What we call Cinch-cabel in German is a common phono-cable in English...
so in order to extend the speakercables just use male to female phono-cable!
my bad guys!

Allowed GR reversal affecting the project costs

Hi,
We have just performed our month-end settlement but when we are tallying our project costs and project costs clearing accounts, we have noted discrepancies. The discrepancies were from the reversals of GR for projects costs that were already settled. Is this really the standard of the system? To allow reversal of GR even if project costs were already settled to AUC?

Hi,
Suppose take a material A for which in month Jan you created a requirement PR-PO for the same, after that you did GR for the same in same month of Jan. Then you perform period end process for Jan., so your jan month will have actual of that material with respect to that CO object which will have actual posting in GL for that month. Now, in Feb general procees after period end process of jan, you reverse the GR with respect the present period that Feb. and and now you compare the value of settlement and present Account's value which would not match, so it will match once you settle this present updates with respet that material for the same CO object, then it will match with account's values

How to find the difference between Project costs & Cost center costs?

Hi all,
Can you please explain me ? What is project Cost & Cost center cost and which are the tables having those fields of project cost & cost center Costs? And how to find the difference between their costs ? And please give me the functional Idea about it?
Thanking you all in Advance...
Regards,
Chandru

Hi,
goto table COSP:
1) object-no. beginning with 'KS' refer to cost-centre
   example: 'KSKOKA4711'
   with KS, KOKA = controlling area and 4711 = cost centre
2) OBJNR beginning with 'PR' refer to projects / WBS-element
   example PR00001234
