Project Profile

Hi! Experts,
We have created a new Project Profile and hence forth we would like that the Projects be created using the new Project Profile. Already there are projects with old profile. When we open the header WBS element it is showing error instead of opening the WBS element screen. What is the solution to this? Thanks in advance.

Q .Is it possible to deactivate the old project profile?
It is not possible to deactivate project profile. the only option is that you modify your existing project profile up to some extent, so, while creating new project with that modified old project profile will take in to accout your requirement.
Q .If already existing projects with old profile can they be changed at once with new project profile?
Existing project with with old project profile cannot be changed with new project profile.

Creation of Project Profile & Network Profile

Hi Experts,
I am new to PS. We have a customer project which has two company codes.
Company 1 has three plants and company 2 has one plant. Our client will use PS for new product development projects. That new product will be developed in a single plant itself. Each plant is dedicated to one kind of product development only.
Please let me know how many project profiles & network profiles have to be created for this scenario.
Thanks & Regards,
Kabir

Hi Virendra,
Thank you for the reply.
In our case, by New product development project, my client means that they will develop a new product for their customers based on the new specifications & designs. For example, an auto component.
The client also wants to do the billing. So we will take it as a customer project here. We will have WBS for Design, Production, Delivery etc...with activities in it. In such case, is one project profile & one network profile sufficient ? Please suggest.
Thanks
Kabir

Settlement of WBS/Project Profile (Cross Company Code)

Hello All,
At my current client, we are having 45 company codes assigned to one controlling area.My question is around setting of Project Profile/Settlement Profile. How do I manage project profiles?
Also If I am managing few project profiles allowing cross company code settlement, what are the pros and cons of doing this? What are the bare minimums for this with respect to configuration
Thanks
Shiv

projects are cross company codes but must be wuithin oine controlling area - so you are ok
the settlement will be from an object either WBS or network activity
the settlement will happen in the company code that is assigned to either the WBS or network activity
regards project profile create as less as possible - if the only difference is the company code then use templates for different companies, or make company code mandatory forcing the user to enter on creation - this will limit the number of project profiles

Validation for Project defination and project profile

Hello,
I have to create validation for Project Definition and Project Profile.User requirement is when the project (Exp: Z/0120) is creating with project profile Exp: Z0001_Z system should allow , If user is trying to select other than this profile system has to give the error.
I tried below validation but it is not working:
Prerequisite - PROJ-PSPID = 'Z'
Check - PROJ-PROFL = Z0001_Z
Kindly any suggest how can i give the validation for the same.
Regards,
Lakshmi.
Message was edited by: Mohamed Rafi - Many threads available on this topic search for those.

Hi,
Have you tried to save the project? Because validation rule will call at time of saving the Project.
I have created the same but for start with 'U'
When I create project and at time of saving, validation rule will call and system throw error if I don't create project start with 'U'.
Now If I am creating here, start with 'J'. System is throwing error as per validation rule.
Also Pl check if you have assigned same correct rule on project profile.

Object or Bdoc type for project profile(PS)

Hi,
we have to integrate SAP PS and CRM marketing Campaign to transfer the cost of the campaign. In CRM we have a node where we assign the Project profile to the Logical client in CRM in SPRO.
We need to know is there a separate object or BDOC type for this or is it part of some of the existing Bdoc.
Thanks

Thanks Joaquin,
Please can you elaborate more on which transaction or rather where can we pull the object from...Is it part of initial load settings?
We dont find it there.

PS: Setting Project Profile as a mandatory field for Project Definition

Hi,
I would like to know how to set Project Profile as a mandatory field for Project Definition (CJ20N or CJ01). I tried to look for controls at OPUK config but the Project Profile is not available for definition - either mandatory, optional, suppressed, etc. Would appreciate if you can share your expertise on this.
Thanks!
Regards,
Vivian

Hi,
I would like to know how to include some additonal fields in OPUK/OPUJ. We have defined some .INCLUDE component / fields to SAP standard table PRPS/PROJ. We want those fields to also appear in OPUK/OPUJ so that we could also defined their characteristics - whether input, mandatory, suppressed, etc.
Thanks!

Restricting project profile in CJ20N/CJ01 t-code

Hi Experts,
Based on the client requirement we have created a new Project Profile named as theShutdown Project. The type of Project is ShutDown. The client wants to restrict the same only for the Plant users usage.
I know that the type of the project can be restricted thru standard authorization object -
C_PRPS_ART. The coding mask is not restricted or defined as of now.
Since we could not find any standard authorization object which restricts specifically on Project Profile, we tried creating a Z
auth.object as follows:
u2022 SU20 -CREATE AUTHORIZATION FIELD
u2022 SU21 -CREATE AUTHORIZATION OBJECT
u2022 SU21 -LINK AUTHORIZATION FIELD AND AUTHORIZATION OBJECT
u2022 SU24 -ADD THE AUTHORIZATION OBJECT IN THE TCODE CJ20N AND CJ01
u2022 PFCG-CREATE ROLE WITH AUTHORIZATIONS TO TCODES- CJ20N AND CJ01. ALSO
ADD THE AUTHORIZATION OBJECT MANUALLY. GENERATE THE ROLE AND SAVE THE
SAME. LINK USER ID TO THE ROLE
u2022 SE38- LCJWBF7S. CREATE ENHANCEMENT IN FORM PROJ_SET AND ADD
AUTHORISATION CHECK OF THE ABOVE CREATED OBJECT
The issue is that the above procedure is restricting the access for all the other users too despite it being attached to a particular role only. Every project profile other than shutdown project is getting an error -"You are not authorisedfor this activity"
Please advice if our approach is correct or are there any alternative available.
Regards
Khushali

HI,
You need not have a separate Auth Object for "Project Profile".
Make use of your standard auth object "Project Type" only.
Introduce a simple validation to say that The only project type "Shutdown Projects" should be allowed for your Project Profile "Shutdown Project"
By this, while Project creation, system throws error (Error you defined in the validation) in case both the Profile & Type are incompatible. When the user selects the appropriate "Project Type", then the subsequent standard error would be related to authorization on Project Type for the desired users.

Project Profile from SAP-PS in cProjects

Hi,
Need your suggesttion on the below issue. We have cProject & R/3 integration. Project structure will be created in cProjects which will also create a project in SAP-PS. As per standard SAP-PS, CPR0001 is project profile to be used for cProjects & PS interface. Project profile (CPR0001) contains standard settings of SAP such as controllig area / company code / plant etc. I had copied CPR0001 project profile & created new profile to be used for creating project as per our organsaition structure. I observed while creating project from cProjects, it is considering CPR0001 project profile & accordingly the organisation structure is copying where as our required project profile is different.
I would like to request in cProjects, where it is calling project profile & to make the project profile as per our requirments.
Thank you for your cooeparation.

Ranjan

Hi Ranjan,
1. Project element is creating as WBSE & project definition in PS. But there is no one -to-one mapping. I would like to transfer various phases as WBSE in R/3 but it is n't happening
>> There tow scenario of the replication, one is role-based, other is task-based. In case of role-based, the phases are not used, as role is not under the phase. In case of task-based, the phase should be used, as it is in most cases the parent of the task. I am not 100 percent sure at this point.
2. Dates are n't getting transferred to project in project structure of SAP-PS.
>> At the replication, only some data are mapped to the WBS, mostly the costs relevant information, as the purpose of this functionality is costs. Even the left-right relationships can not guaranteed in some cases.
3. The WBSE which created in PS from cProjects, master data are locked
>> Worked as designed. The idea is to forbid the use change the master data of the replicated WBS. It is somehow inflexible, but it is customer requirement, which trigger this feature. You can unlock it manually in the ERP system.
4. Tasks are n't getting transferred as network activity into PS
>> Not possible in cPro. 4.0, in release 4.0 the project system integration (other name multiple level controlling) will be mapped to WBS. In Release 3.1, it is possible to get. But from my point of view, map to WBS is the better way.

Hi Sreekanth and Gokul,
I will assign project profile "DPSC_T1" to my new template , still I copy it from another template which is with the profile "DPSC1". When I tested in our sandbox in CJ91 initial screen i can specify a different project profile and in the column STD Proj defintion i give a template name which has different Project profile.System is allowing me to do so
Will there be any negative impacts going with this option?. Please suggest
