Project Costings and Budgeting in cProjects 4.5

Hi Experts,
I want to understand can we do the project planning,costings and budgeting in cprojects 4.5? as we do in PS.
Can we capture the costs like materials, admin, etc on cprojects 4.5?
If yes then please let me know how?
Also what is the SAP best practice to mapped this costing and budgeting scenarios in integration of cprojects and PS?
Thanking you in advance.....
Aryan

Hello Aryan,
To my knowledge costing and budgeting are not the functionalities of cProject unlike the PS. Material costs cannot be captured using cProjects on the other hand you can definitely integrate them with IO's, triggering their creation etc.
I'm looking up to the forum for the Best Practice as well. Please advice.

Table for WBS project status and budget.

hi,
i am being requested to have a report with project details with the PO and PR.
but i were unable to find the table for the project status (TECO, REL) for a WBS element. may i know want table and what field they were being link?
aside, may i know under what table does the "budget assigned" to a WBS element located at?
thanks

Hi Ben,
in order to retrieve the status of a WBS element, please select into table JEST by object number (JEST-OBJNR = PRPS-OBJNR). This will give you an internal status code (JEST-STAT). Then go to table TJ02 with this internal code and select field TJ02-TXT04: this will give you the external status code.
For the budget, go to tables COSP and COSS, selecting by object number (OBJNR).
I hope this helps. Best regards,
Alvaro

Multiple currency planning and budgeting?

Hi all
We are having a requirement of planning and budgeting in same WBS with multiple currencies and also seeing reports in different currencies on single screen.
Now has anybody explored this area and has anything to suggest.
Thanks in anticipation
Raman

Hi Raman
The following is the literature from SAP on the subject. You may find it useful.
Planning and Budgeting in Any Currency
Use
International groups often use one uniform company code currency (group currency) in CO. However, it may be necessary to plan and budget in the respective local currency as the majority of costs will be incurred in the local currency. The local currency is usually the corresponding company code currency.
Previously only budgeting of jobs (orders and projects) was possible in the local currency.
From Release 4.70, you can also budget investement programs in the local currency. In addition, it is possible to plan investment programs, appropriation requests and jobs directly in the local currency.
As was previously the case for orders and projects, plan and budget values for investment programs and appropriation requests are also saved in both the controlling area and local currencies defined in the master record of each object. If you change or re-specify the exchanged rates used, it is now possible to recalculate the values in the local currency using the values in the controlling area currency, and vice-versa.
In reporting for IM, it is even possible to calculate evaluations in any report currency (plan, budget and assigned values). If the values are available in the specified report currency, they are issued unchanged. If they are not available, they are converted from the controlling area currency into the report currency.
Effects on Existing Data
Before Release 4.70, the plan values for appropriation requirements, were only saved in the controlling area currency. This was also the case if a local object currency was specified in the master record for the appropriation requirement. From Release 4.70, the plan values for appropriation requirements are always saved in the controlling area and local currencies. Therefore, you must adjust appropriation requests that were created in an earlier release and use a local currency that varies from the local object currency. The easiest way to do this is to use the program RAIMCRC2 to recalculate the plan values in the local object currency for appropriation requests whose plan values are in the controlling area currency (transaction IMCRC2, menu path: Financial Accounting -> Investment Management -> Appropriation Requests -> Tools -> Recalculate Currency Plan for Appropriation Requests). Before you run the program, select the relevant option in the Process Control section of the initial screen.
Effects on Customizing
Adjustment of Planning and Budget Profiles
To enable the planning of investment programs, appropriation requests and jobs in a transaction currency different to the controlling area currency, you must adjust the relevant planning profiles.
To enable the budgeting of investment programs in a transaction currency different to the controlling area currency, you must adjust the relevant budget profiles.
In the planning currency (or budgeting currency) section of the planning (or budget) profile, you must define the transaction currency in which planning (or budgeting) is to be executed:
Only in the controlling area currency (default),
Only in the object currency
(= local currency defined in object master record ) or
In a transaction currency chosen at the start of planning/budgeting
(this option is not possible for appropriation requests).
In the planning or budget profiles, you must also define the exchange rate types to be used for the conversion of total values that are not dependent on the fiscal year.
To adjust the planning profiles, use the process steps:
Maintain Planning Profiles (investment programs)
Maintain Planning Profile for Cost Planning (appropiation requests)
To adjust the budgeting profiles, use the process steps:
Define Budget Profiles for Investment Programs (investment programs)
Exchange Rate Types
In the fiscal-year-dependent data of the CO planning versions, you must also define the exchange rate types to be used for conversion of plan values that are not dependent on the fiscal year.
For conversion of fiscal-year-dependent budget values and fiscal-year-dependent plan values of appropriation request variants not yet assigned to a plan version, each exchange rate type is taken from the fiscal-year-dependent data of the CO planning versions 0.
As the plan or budget values are stored in the transaction, controlling area, and local currencies, the exchange rates used must enable the conversion of the transaction currency into the controlling area and local currencies. Where necessary, the exchange rates used must be extended.
To enter the exchange rate types, use the process step:
Define Versions (investment programs)
Change Planning or Budget Currency
If you always planned or budgeted existing investment programs/measures in the controlling area currency, it is not subsequently possible to change the planning or budget currency to the object currency in the planning or budget profiles. This conversion is not prevented in Customizing, but leads to an error when you next plan or budget existing investment programs/measures. Alternatively, you can convert the planning or budget currency into the transaction currency in the planning or budget profiles, and set the object currency indicator as default.
A similar restriction does not exist for appropriation requests. You can change the planning currency in the planning profile at any time.
Use the process step under "Adjust the Planning and Budgeting Profiles".
Detailed Planning
When you call up detailed planning from structure-based cost planning or revenue planning, the standard SAP planning profiles are used, to which the standard SAP planning layouts are assigned. These planning profiles cannot be changed in the planning transactions. Import the standard SAP planning layouts 1-401-IM, 1-402-IM, 1-403-IM, 1-701-IM, 1-702-IM and 1-703-IM using the transaction OKBF from client 000 in your client.
To execute the import, choose the process step:
Import Standard Planning Layouts.
Reporting Currency for IM Reporting
In IM reporting, if you want to be able to specify a reporting currency that is different to the controlling area and object currencies used in the investment program items or subordinate appropriation requests and measures, another exchange rate type is required for the due conversion of plan, budget, or values into the reporting currency. You define this exchange rate type in Customizing for the program type for the investment program to be reported ( Group Reporting).
To enter additional reporting currencies, use the process step:
Define Program Types (investment programs)

'Project Status Report' activation in cProjects

Hi,
I was trying to configure the Status Reports in cProjects. I have completed creation of the form (chose DPR_PROJECT), activated the templates for the relevant Project type and also implemented the Badi with the correct form name. I am still unable to see any template dropdown in the application (cProjects). The DPR_Project template should appear in the same for me to create the Status Report. Please advice.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi Sachin ,
I think, it may be a ADS installation issue.
The configuration of ADS server is somehow not very easy, as I saw so many installations problems with status report in cProj. 4.0.
Would you please check the following notes:
900310 & 992492 .
And the following reports may be helpful to check the setting:
FP_PDF_TEST_00 (returns version number of ADS)
FP_TEST_00 (creates a test PDF)
FP_EXAMPLE_01 (creates a test PDF using SFLIGHT data)
FP_TEST_IA_01 (creates an interactive PDF that can be signed via certificate)
FP_PDF_TEST_12 (returns signatures of a signed PDF  requires secure (SSL) ADS connection  ADS_HTTPS)
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Addition of custom tab and fields in cProject

Hello Experts,
I need to add custom tab and fields in cProject project definition level(type DPO).
As it is given in IMG help, there are two ways of doing this.
1) Addition of data in CI_DPR_PROJECT and Creating the field groups and including these fields in the field groups.
2) Creating the custom tab and assigning the webDynpro component to it.
I tried the first method. Here I am able to see the field group as the tab in cProjects but the fields included in CI_DPR_PROJECT are not appearing.
Please let me know how I can see the fields which are added to CI include.
Also,
For the second method what is the meaning of implementing the WebDynpro interface DPR_CUST_EXT_INTF ?
I appreciate if anyone explains step by step procedure for this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Maddy

hi Madhu,
By creating a custom tab and adding field you can do that.
Pls. follw the steps as below:
1)Enhance Data base table:
Follow the path:
Spro ->Collaboration Project ->Global Enhancement to Project elements ->Enhance Database table
You will get details about Object category, its Entity table and Structure with Customer Include/APPEND Structure
Then go to Se11 and make changes as mentioned below:
Add the fields required on cProjects Screen in table DPR_PROJECT in the Include "CI_DPR_PROJECT"
2)Run Program DPR_CUST_FLDS_IN_FC_MAP and pass structure : DPR_TS_PROJECT_EXTENDED_ATTR
Run Program DPR_CUST_FLDS_IN_FC_MAP in transaction code SE38 and execute it and in Structure w. Customer Include field, pass structure: DPR_TS_PROJECT_EXTENDED_ATTR, this will generate transport request
3)Set up field control.
Copy std. field control and create new.
Path:Spro ->Collaboration Project ->Global Enhancement to Project elements ->Set up field control
4)Create field group
Path: Spro ->Collaboration Project ->Global Enhancement to Project elements ->Set up field control
Define group to your field here for your field control.
5)Define Field groups for Customer Fields
Path: Spro ->Collaboration Project ->Global Enhancement to Project elements -> Define Field groups for Customer Fields
Make entry here. Name of group is Name of tab page in cProjects front end
Define your customer fields for field group
6)Assign field control to your Project Type:
Path : Spro ->Collaboration Project ->Structure ->Define Project type
Assign custom defined field control to the project type in Field contol field at the bottom.
With this seetings you should be able to see your custom defined fields in custom defined tab page.

Niraj

Workforce Planning in Planning and Budgeting Cloud Servie

Hi Experts,
Does Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS) have Pre-build modules Workforce Planning, Capital Asset Planning and Project Finance Planning.
According to my understanding PBCS doesn't have any pre-build modules. I am not sure whether recently it has been added or not, so I wanted to double check.
Thanks in Advance.

PBCS still does not offer other planning modules like Workforce plnning/Capex etc.

User statuses and budgeting

Hi Experts,
I want control on generation of PR , PO before project has been budgeted.
For that I have created status profile and 2 status as BUGD and NBUD. I also link this status profile in OPSA.
But still my PR and PO are generated without allocating budget to them.
Just now I have checked that without CJ30 , WBS is not releasing. But network and Activities below it canbe release so I can make PR and PO's. I need control on total PR , PO generation.
please guide me in this topic.
Thanks and Regards

Please search forum - there are lots of threads on how to use user status to disallow PR and PO

Thanks.
Any idea if this could be used in iRecruitment? We have a lookup in iRec 'IRC_EMP_CAT' and its not extensible. I need to add in more categories there but cant do so. Do you think this window can do what I need?

Costs and Budgets in a PEP Element

Good Morning dear friends!
Now, I'm dealing with a problem with PS module.
I need to select from DB the data of PEP elements related to costs and budgets in a determined period.
I have two tables that the functional person have passed to me: RPSCO and COEP.
But when I access the CNS41 transaction, the values that appears there are incompatible with the values of the tables. I've saw that are differences that distinguish real values from planned values, budgets and costs.
But I don't have the values yet that appear at CNS41 transaction.
Anyone already dealed with this problem or know about this information in PS?
P.S. I've used the ST05 transaction to map the tables used, but this didn't work.
Hope you can help me.
Regards,
Diogo Patriota.

Hi Joe,
You can get revenues into BPC in exactly the same way you would load project costs. Either via BW InfoProvider or via flat-file load. Generally in BPC Netweaver, building a BW InfoProvider will be the most advantageous way to move data into the system for things like Revenue that should reside in your Enterprise Data Warehouse in any case.
Of course, the most difficult part of this is not going to be loading the data itself, but rather determining the process by which your business will map revenue onto projects, then building and testing this process in whatever system you decide to use to stage your data.
Good luck!

Project System - Negative Budgeting

Hi All,
I know it's kind a weird but my client want to implement Negative Budget at the start of the Project. Their purpose is to project recovery of Costs for Constructions initially accounted as expense but may later be sold for profit.
Is their a way to input a Negative Value at the start of the Project using any Budget Transaction in PS (CJ30/CJ36/CJ37).
Appreciate your inputs.
Cheers,
Joed Villarosa

Dear,
        The clent is investing first then he is get rvenue by selling product.
           For the investment you should create Investment project and take the approved budget by CJ30 and the release it by CJ32.And finaly make Asset for this by settelment.
                                                                                Then you should make the Coustomer Project for that you should get revenue .So CP you have to suggest.
                                                           The IP and Cp is two diffrent things.Suggest your client to do so.
Regards.

Planning and Budgeting application

Hi Folks,
I new to Hyperion and currently i am learning. If i say end to end implementation of Hyperion Planning and Budgeting application....what does that exactly mean in real time of perspective? I have sales database so please explain me keeping sales database in your mind.
Edited by: user11145584 on Apr 14, 2010 5:51 AM

Sorry, I misunderstood the below:
what does that exactly mean in real time of perspective^^^ I thought you meant "How long does it take?"
I don't think a Planning implementation is any different than any other IT project:
1) Requirements gathering
2) Tool selection
3) Development environment install (concurrent with 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) Install prod whenever 3 works
4) Design sessions
5) Design docs
6) Prototypes
7) Metadata and data sourcing
8) Repeat of 4 thorugh 7 as required
9) Sign-off
10) Build in prod
11) UATs/Assembly Test/whatever test
12) Happy shiny day -- lo, the project is complete
Lots of other steps but again, is the above any different than anything else? Just specialized skills (business, tool(s)) on the analysis and implementation side.
As to that:
Essbase
Some hint about the way a Chart of Accounts works
Data sourcing
Metadata sourcing
Planning "quirks" knowledge
Hopefully others will chime in, but I've given you at least a straw man view of it.

Cameron Lackpour

Marketing planning and budgetting(costing)

Hello CRM Experts,
My client wants to implement marketing planning and budgetting (costing). They do not want to use SAP Project System.**
*.How campaign can be replicated in SAP ECC and assigned to WBS element. Can you please provide your imput as early as possible.*
Thank you very much in advance
Eliz

hi, guy
to achieve this, you need to implement the BPS in BW, and make the BPS and CRM integration.
In standard, CRM Marketing is integrated with BPS, you can login the CRM and open the BPS windows in Marketing object screen, fill your cost plan or trade plan or sale plan.
For WBS elment, you need to activate the configuration in PS mode and middleware between CRM and ERP.
If you don't need to use PS, maybe you can use Claim in CRM to manage the expense and cost in campaign.

An SAP Solution for capital planning and Budgeting of Capital Assets?

Is there an SAP Solution for the Planning and Budgeting of Capital Assets?
A solution that provides planning, budgeting, and tracking for capital assets through the entire life cycle of each asset, from the initial request through the final disposal.
The solution needs to be able to run scenarios. A scenario contains equipment that may potentially be purchased. Scenario items are used to help determine cost, capacity, and cash flow feasibility.

Hi
What you suggested is the ideal approach...
However, if they say that the budget allocated to capital purposes (70%) applies to both capital projects and expenses and they would like to control it together, but have reports separately, it is not possible with standard SAP...
If they want to have just one IO for both cap and exp, You can suggest them a work around to capture CAPITAL or EXPENSE in a ref field (XREF1 in BSEG) and you can run KOB1 with XREF1 displayed in it....
In standard KOB1, XREF1 is not displayed, you have to use Exit COOMEP01 to include the fields you want... Add XREF1 to the Structure CI_RKPOS and write your code in the include ZXKAEPU01 of EXIT_SAPLKAEP_001
Without an identifier @ the time of booking the transaction in the system (Either by way of IO or a ref field), you wont be able to generate reports later on

Cannot change project hierarchy after budgeting

Can any one please help with this. I am trying to change the hierarchy of my project but since the project has been budgeted for and released, I get the message that I cannot change project hierarchy. I have tried reseting the budget but this doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?

You can try the following procedures:
1. Clear all the budget into 0 ( both overall budget and annual budget)
2. Run t-code OPSX to reset the "BUDG" flag.
3. Try to update your project hierarchy again.
Hope it works.
