Project Simulation Version

Hi,
Is there any Function Module or BAPI to extract all details of PRoject Definitions and WBS element and Network Activities for Project simulation Version/Version key.
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi,
Both options, as in DP81 we are able to select simulations versions.
But onces the quotations has been created we can't know the source. we know the project as is informed in the account assignment but not the simulation version we have used.
Has anybody faced this issue before?

Quotations from Project Simulation Version

Hi experts,
We are creating project quotations using DP81. We create multiple quotations for the same inquiry using Project Simulation Version.
We would like to know from which version the quotation document has been created, is it possible?
Or can you suggest any workaround?
Thanks

Sales pricing from Project Simulation Version

hi.
Has anybody created sales pricing for the project using transaction DP 82? It does not create the sales pricing for the simulation version, even though I have provided the version key.
The status of the simulation version of the project is CRTD. I am using the network cost planning in the simulation version of the project. Am I missing something here? I am hoping to get an answer from this community. Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards
Mey

Hi
The following are the prerequisites for the sucessful fuctioning of sales pricing for simulation versions of the project.
1. A dynamic item processor profile (DIP profile) must have been maintained in the customer inquiry.and must be Customized for Project System.
2.The same DIP profile must have been entered on the Sales B tab page of the item detail view in the SD order.
3. A customer inquiry with at least one item that has to be maintained and assigned to a billing element must exist. The system determines the SD data for sales pricing from this inquiry item.
4.You have planned costs (in concordance with cost elements) for your project version.
If these prerequisites are met, i think it will work

Comparison between Opreative Project & Simulated version

Dear Colleague,
I have one query regarding simulation version, may I know how I will compare operatioe project with any simulation version by using SAP standard reports like CN41N. I already maintained version check box ticked in DB profile. As I know that we can easily compare Project version with operative project but do not know how to compare operative project with simulated version. Please just advice...
Regards,
Ashok Sangal

Hi Ashok,
Simulation versions are compared with operative versions in the same manner in which project versions are compared with operative project. The simulation versions for the project appears in the "Project version" selection. Select the required Simulation version to include it in the results.

Simulation version to Operative project

Hi experts,
I am unable to create an operative project structure from a simulation version using project builder.
My req:
I have sim version: T-90001/ SIM001
I wish to create operative project T-90001
I can use CJV4 for transfer of project. But is it possible in CJ20N?
Warm regards

Hi Ravi
Thanks for your response
Please look at the link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/0b/ba853488601e33e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm
There is an illustration which depicts that,
- Project P1234/version 0001 --> Project 1234 --> Project P1234/Version 0002 --> Project P1234
As per this illustration, the project number remains same.
As you said, the transaction CJ20N is not allowing me to transfer the simulation version to operative project.
But, i am experiencing a dump error while trying to transfer simulation to operative in CVJ4.
At the conclusion, i mean to say that irrespective of transaction code, this may be allowed.
Please comment.

Simulation version Error - Message no. C2323

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to create simulation version from operative project.
I'm getting the following error even though I have maintained settlement rule.
Settlement rule contains errors and has not been saved
Message no. C2323
Diagnosis
You use a strategy and/or default rule to automatically determine settlement rules for orders/networks.
The system has determined a settlement rule for NWA #46 according to the defined strategy and/or default rule. However, when checking this settlement rule, an error appeared.
This error may occur, for example, when you want to create a settlement rule for the superior WBS element, because due to a user status on the WBS element, this is not allowed.
System Response
The settlement rule is not saved due to the error.
Procedure
Maintain the settlement rule manually for NWA #46, and check the strategy and/or default rule used.
Please help.
Regards,
VINOD.V

below is the settlement strategy parameter for network
Manual maintenance of settlement rule
1   Automatic generation of settlement rule
2   Generate settlement to WBS element
3   Copy settlement rule of the WBS element
4   Copy settlement rule of the project definition
5   No settlement rule
then assign strategy to PSP/PS1
assign network settlement profile to network type as zps1,2,3,4&5
so just configure the strategy according to suitability then run simulation.

Sanjeev

CJV4, WBS simulation version cost in COSS and COSP by cost element

Hi PS expert. (-:
IN PS When we freeze a simulation version with CJV4, (operative data to version), sap will create new object number in table VSCAUFV_CN for each network and VSPRPS_CN for each Wbs element related to the simulation Version.
In our environment, SAP will add record in COSS and COSP for the new object number for Network but NOT FOR THE WBS.
Is it standard to NOT record the cost in COSS and COSP for the simulation cost of the WBS (against the new object number?)
That mean we will able to see the simulation cost by cost element for network, but NOT FOR WBS element.
For the WBS, we only record the cost in RPSCO by cost category.
Is there a way to active (with an exit ..classu2026bapi) the recording of the cost of the WBS by simulation version in COSS and COSP
Thanks you very much for your help
Sophie

hi sophie,
create separate network for each wbs in project. see if this can solve your issue.

Simulation version

Hi,
On simulation i have two questions
1. What is the significance of simulation profile. Is it required to be assigned for the project (Through project profile) before carrying out the simulation?
2.I am trying to create simulation version in CJV4 for the project. I have created the simulation profile and assigned it to my project profile. But when i try to create the simulation version i am getting the following error
"When you want to run a report that uses the PSJ logical database, module pools are generated for runtime optimization and memory optimization. This module pool cannot be generated since therew is an error in the logical database. This error can only occur, if the SAPDBPSJ program was changed during the runtime of your prrogram".
Can any body help me in this?
Rajesh

Hi,
Simulation profile is not mandatory. The profile controls what texts get copied from operative project to simulation. If you dont give this profile, all texts get copied into simulation.
I would be able to help if you tell me the error message number. I hope it is not dump. In that case goto ST22 and let me know the details.

How to compare the simulation version

Dear Experts,
For Operative Projects we can create Simulation Versions (CJV1 / CJV4) & Project Version (CN72).
We can compare different Project Versions with Operative Project (S_ALR_87013539 / 38).
Similarly can we compare Simulation version with Operative Project?
OR can we see plan cost report for simulation version?
Please guide.
Rajesh

Hi,
Simulation versions are not meant for comparison purpose. You can use Project versions for that, which are snapshots of project at that point of time.
Simulation versions can be used to analyse 'what-if' conditions and for quotation ie pre-order analysis. Before receipt of sales order, you can create simulation project and do cost planning for quotation purpose. After receipt of sales order, this project can be made operative. In case of loss of project, you can delete simulation.
Another case can be during execution you want to check "what happens if" kind of conditions. you can transfer operative project to simulation version, simulate reqd condition. If results are desirable, you can copy the simulation version onto current project or alternatively delete simulation.

Creating Stock in Simulation version

Hi Gurus,
Is there a way to create to Stock with categories like CC, CK, CF etc in a simulation version.
I am working on a project and have a requirement to see if we can create stock in simulation version? Any leads in achieving that would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Murali

Hi Mike – Thanks for the detailed reply. I did the same and I got the below error. I think in your message I see the planning version as ‘000’ and when I use that it did create, but we want to create stocks in a simulation version.
Error message:
A APO_BAPI 185 Function or parameter CLASSVALUESCHAR is not supported for planning version SIM_EIS
A APO_BAPI 185 Function or parameter STOCK-VERSION is not supported for planning version SIM_EIS
I APO_BAPI 004 Rollback executed (see long text)
I /SAPAPO/CIF 003 Application log (ext. no. K{M8CY4A6Q3X0800GDHYCW) for obj. APO_BAPI and sub-obj. ST_APS has been logged
Also, an FYI, in debug mode, if we change the planning version from Simulation to active and then flip it back after the validation it is creating the stocks in the simulation version.
I was trying to use the standard BAPI in a LSMW to create stocks to a Simulation version to avoid creating a new custom program, hence the challenge.
Thanks,
Murali

Planed costs on Simulation Version

Where can I see the planed costs on Simulation?
I have an escenario where the project is created as Simulation, and after this one is evaluated on duration and costs, the user transfer the simulation to an operative project, but I need to see the planed costs.

Hi ,
Go to trnsaction CNS41 Structure Overview report
Press The Push button DB Profile
Tick on Version data in Origin
here u can select the simulation versions for which u want to see the Project info with differentiated colors
by selection of Project planned cost field

Reg:Simulation version key issue

Hi,
I am using simulation version key as SIM+++ .But as per document given below:-
The valid version numbers for simulation version can be entered in Customizing.
You can use the formatting characters + and *:
+ means exactly one character
If you enter SIM+++ the maximum length of the version number is restricted to 6 characters.
is a character string of no defined length at the end of the version number (up to the maximum length of 12 characters).*
If version numbers for simulations have been entered in Customizing, then you can only create versions that correspond with one of these entries
but when i am creating Simulation version SIMAA3 then also system is accepting whereas as per above document + sign is for character and not for digit.
So Kindly guide me in resolving this issue.
With Regards
Rohit Prakash

Project Version is snapshot/photo of project, you cant change it. It is generally taken to record the exact project status at that point of time.
Simulation version is used to simulate 'if then' conditions.Generally used during quotation phase or if you want see effect of particular event on project you can create simulation version see the effect and transfer back to operative or delete.
Project Version is only for info purpose and cant be transfered anywhere. Simulation version can be transfered to operative project.

PS - Simulation version made Inactive after transfer to Operative

Hi,
It is by process that once a simulation version is transferred to an operative project, all the active simulation of that project existing in the system till that time are flagged inactive. We need to manually set them to active again.
I would like to know if there is a way set this default feature off or make it selective to flag only the simulation in question as inactive, and leave the others as active?

This looks like a system error not an application error. Talk to your BASIS consultant / system administrator.

Anuradha
