Project Stock Consumption

Dear Experts,
I am working on a scenario- details given below
1. Purchase requisition from Network as Preq + WBS for raw material with stock type L
2. PR Converted to PO and then GR is done ( Raw Material)
3. PR raised through Network as N-                PR converted to PO and issued to contractor with a subcontractor material
4. Material received through GR is transfered to subcontractor
5. Material issued to contractor is consumed through a GR ( PO for service material and not raw material).
What i have found out is Cost is not hitting project when GR is done to Raw material PR but it comes in project only when there is a Consumption from subcontracting GR.
Please let me know what should happen as best practise at this stage
Is it-       Cost should flow to Project when 101 Q happens
                                                or
             Cost should flow to Project only when 543 O is done
Currently movement types are in this manner
101 Q then 411 Q and 411 Gnst and then 541 to contractor and later consumed through 543.
Please give you valuable comments.

Hi
Check in MRP-4 view for "individual/coll" field. It will be 2. that is collective requirement. If it is done then only you can issue material subcontractor when you use project system.Then only it uses 543- O to consume from vendor stock. If you don't keep "individual/coll" field as blank then soncumption will happen via 543Q.That is project stock. So you will not be able to do 541 to send material to vendor.
Coming to Point.
Look at your step 2. PR to PO and GR.. It will go to normal plant stock because of 2 maintained in "individual/coll" field.Movement type 101 will be used. Not 101 Q. So cost will not flow to WBS at that point of time.
But it comes in project only when there is a Consumption from subcontracting GR because header material MRP-4 view will not have "individual/coll" field 2.
It is standard process in project system module subcontract

Slow Moving Project Stock

Hi,
My problem is to find out slow moving project stocks. Report MC46 shows only slow moving normal stocks and project stock is not included in this.
Thanks

Hi Gaurav Shah,
If you are procuring for project stock means, the material is for direct consumption.I think its not logical to see it in terms of "slow moving stock" category.
Hope I am right and it will be useful and give you some insights.

ABC indicator for project stock

Is there a way to run MIBC and assign abc indicator to project stock that is not valuated or even for the part numbers to show up on this list? What needs to be done in order for this to show up on the report? IS there a way to make it valuated and but not company own stock valuation?

Hello Kimberly,
MIBC report will show the list of material based on the Consumption or Requirement and it will suggest ABC indicator considering the both factor.
The Project stock can be managed as valuated project stock or nonvaluated project stock.
For more details, please have a look on the following link

Material procurement as Project stock

Hi,
I have assigned a Non Stock Material (N) to WBS activity ---> converted the PR (created for network) to PO --> now i want to do GR for this PO and update the material recieved as Project stock on the correspondign WBS.
I am using movement type 501Q when doing GR, and i expect that the corresponding WBS should automatically be populated or i should be able to add the WBS manually? but WBS field in MIGO screen when doing GR is greyed out?
Any pointers to address this will be helpful?
Thank you.

Jatinder

Hi,
>>>>>>
But now for one project i dont want to take material from store, but want the material to be supplied by supplier directly at project site, also i dont want to show the material supplied as directly consumed but want to show it first as WBS stock and then do GI to show consumption? how can we achieve this??
<<<<<<<
If you are intended to ship directly to site, then change procurement scenario as Drop shipment. In that case material never see the warehouse, what I mean no GR. Hope this make sense.
for other requirement, discuss with your WM guys who should have fictious GR for that material. In that case you have to use material account assignment as Q (project stock). the only thing is you are not physically bringing material into warehouse but still you have GR for that material.
Why you want to follow suck kind of routing, directly use drop ship procurement scenario which makes your life easier without any risk. By doing this you encouraging some kind of malpractices in system where users may misuse.
Any have its your call and take decision accordingly.

Project stock GR and GI occupy twice budget.

Hi Experts,
When the PO of project material Goods receipts, the statistical cost element of 90 category exists.
But when the PO Goods issue to project for consumption, the cost element is deleted.
Hence the project stock GR and GI occupy twice budget.
How can I reconstruct the statistical actual cost of project stock and project budget?
How can I solve this incontinuous data problem?
Thanks a lot.
Optional Backgroup INFO:
     At 2008/11/17, we created a statistical cost element (1605030000) for project material stock GL account whose category is 90. And at 2008/11/30, we deleted it because of financial departmentu2019s requirement.
    We find some project stocks who occupy project budget, and also some material purchase requisitions and material purchase orders who have commitments occupying project budget, are created during statistical cost element 1605030000 existing from 2008/11/17 to 2008/11/30.
    Now because statistical cost element 1605030000 doesnu2019t exist any more, when the project stock materials are issued to project for consumption, at the same time we got the material actual cost in the project, but the project stock still occupies the project budget which means the certain material occupies project budget twice in the form of project stock and project actual cost of material consumption. Could you do me a great favor to solve this inconsistent situation please?
    Further more, we want to delete all the commitments of the above material PRs and POs, and set free the budget which project stock occupies, could you help out? Is there any program to recalculate the commitment, the actual cost and the budget?
And if some day we want to add the statistical cost element (1605030000) for project material stock GL account back, how can we make all the material PRs and POs which are already in the SAP system occur commitment? How can we make all the project stock occupy project budget? Is there any program to recalculate the commitment, the actual cost and the budget?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Valuated and Non-valuated project stock in same SAP system

Dear All,
Can we operate with the system where projects are with valuated and non-valuated project stock at the same time. If yes, are there any precautions we need to take before doing this.
Currently we are changing to 'valuated project stock' from 'non-valuated project stock' due to advantages of 'valuated project stock'. But since we are implementing this change in already stable system where projects are running with 'non-valuated project stock'. Please suggest of there are any complication with this.
Thanks in advance !
Regards

Hi Muralidhar Lanka,
Thanks for your time and efforts to share your thoughts with all of us. Hope you will not mind, did you done this kind of changes to profiles midst of the project in the past? or its your guess.
Because, many times these kind of questions comes from business to change, but we are not sure how it will affect the existing as well new projects. In such circumstances, normally we politely propose to go with two profiles rather changing the existing one since we are not sure of how it will affect.
It would be great help to all of us if you can share your experiences how the goods movement and value flows have taken in system for old projects and new projects. What kind of changes you could notice after changing profile in terms of .. a few of them
1. Goods movement
2. Consumption of production orders and internal order.
3. Settlement and RA (customer projects/ investment projects)
4. POC calcualtion of projects
I am sorry if you find my questions are silly and not worth to answer, please disregard.
Looking forward to hear from you at your convenient time.
Thanks,

MIGO:How to post GR with Location induced from PO (Project Stock)

Hi experts,
I want to post GR with Location induced from PO (Project Stock).
But SAP doesn't allow this induction.
Please show me how to resolve it.
thanx.
Torao

Hi,
In PS if the account assignment is "P", then the material is treated for directed consumption to the Project or WBSe.
If you want to track the Project Stock based upon of Storage Location (Here, the Storage Location is used as Project Stock location) then, please select Account Category as "Q".
Create a PO using Account assignment Category Q will give you Tracking of Quantity based upon Project WBS and Storage Location. At the time of GR the Stock will be shown under Project WBS. (Physically maintained at Storage Location used)
e. g. : Create PO using Acct Assignment Q , give WBS and save.
MIGO : GR will be done 101 Q (Project Stock)
Quantities are shown : Mat # 100XXXXX Qty : 100 Storage Location : XXX Project Stock : 100 ( WBS )
Special Stock : Q
GI : 221 Q using the Project Stock for Consumption.
The Project Stock can be tracked using T-Code MBBS.
Hope it helps,
Best regards

Project stock "Q" and Internal order

Hy,
we are trying to use the Project stock indicator ("Q") for make-to-order ; the Project stock seems to work properly.
We are also trying to insert the "Internal order" and we modified the "Q" account assignement category to add the 'internal order'.
In the Purchase order we insert a 'real' internal order and a 'statistic' wbs.
When we make the good receipt we have only a CO posting to the 'statistic' wbs but do not have any CO posting to the 'real' internal order.
Can someone help me to solve this point?
thanks in advance.
Mario

Hi Gianmario,
What you can try is to change the consumption posting indicator in the account assignment category from P to V. But I am not sure how the system then behaves in combination with special stock Q.

Project stock and MD51 (or MD03) use with nonvaluated materials (ie ERSA)

I am looking for some help on a CBP(consumption based planning project) we are implementing for materials we treat financially as non-valuated in our
business. MD51 works for valued materials with project stock for us in CBP, but not for non-valuated. I am wondering if we are missing master data or
configuration or limitation or MD51 ? Our scenario:
- We are using material types ROH and ERSA with material type configuration for valuation tracking disabled.
- We stock these materials in project stock with a WBS that is non-valuated and assigned via naming to a supplier name.
- Materials are currently being planned on a external to our SAP system , so no CBP running yet.
- Purchase Requisitions and planned orders are coded for "Q" account assignment for ordering and received against.
- I have MRP2 view /individual collective set to '1' for these materials.
I don't see MD51 when being run for the WBS element for these materials even considering these for CBP run. It ignores with no planning
occurring.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Hello
Please observe that, even if you have defined a consumption based MRP type for the material, system automatically switches to the standard PD.

Project Stock Valuation

Dear Friends,
I have question that the project valuation could be non valuated or valuated. The non valuated is charged to WBS Element like normal consumption during GR then GI system wil not generate Accounting Document due to non valuated material. My question, how about valuated project stock? When PO creation the account assignment is "Q" and statated WBS Element, during GR is it the cost of purchase directly charge to WBS Elemen. How about stock withdraw from storage, is it also going to be charged to WBS Element? Thanks.
Best regards,
Mahnansa

Hi,
Project stock valuation is non - valuated.
It is going to cost of Project via WBS element and Network.
Store person will issue stock for withdraw stock.

Results Analysis for Valuated Project stock

Hi,
To have transfer prices we have activated material ledger and multiple valuations.
As material ledger only works with valuated stock, we have moved the Project structure (ETO) from non valuated to valuated.
Our client requirement was to recognised revenue based on cost. With non valuated project stock, cost is upated as soon as we received the stock for the project and we were able to acheive the RA (revenue recognisition) as per the clients requirement.
However after changing to valuated, during goods receipt stock is upated and not cost. So we asked the client to consume the purchased material if they have to recognise the revenue.
Then the question came that if the SFG is received back from the assembly/production order, all of a sudden we will not have cost but revenue & stock. After looking some SAP notes on statistical cost elements, we have created the stock account as a statistical cost element (category 90) and implimented the following SAP notes which helped us to reverse the stock value and update it to P&L (by reading the balance in statistical cost element linked to the Project).
a) Note 78420 : To activate Function Module EXIT_SAPLKKAG_005 (contains include ZXKAGU05).This Function module takes into account the actual & plan costs of the assigned Production orders & Networks
b)Note 616869 : Provides source code to be copied to include ZXKAGU05
c)Note 616960 : Changes to include ZXKAGU05 to read statistical cost elements in RA
d)Note 26002 : To activate Function Module EXIT_SAPLKKAG_001 (contains include ZXKAGU01).In this include we can make the necessary modifications to RA calculations. Through this include, stock will be reversed during RA.
e)Note 785626 : Provides source code to be copied to include ZXKAGU01
Hower if we have purchased parts which are not consumed, still the RA (FM EXIT_SAPLKKAG_001) reads the value in statistical cost element and posts a debit to RA P&L and reverses the stock. Therefore now i have cost but no revenue (as no consumption).
As per last paragraph of sap note 785626, if we have purchased parts and we want to exclude them from stock reversal, we have to use a filter with customer enhancement 3 (SAP note 67423). It also says that the goods receipts and issues of purchased parts has to lead to a different valuation class and assigne a different stock accout. Now can any one give some guidance on how a project specific purchased parts (receipts and issues to prod order) can be linked to a seperated valuation class.
We have same material which is sometimes purchased and sometime produced.
Regards
Raghu.

Hi
I can say something from theory but not much from sap config. perspective. You have not mentioned actual revenue since POC is calculated from
R(a)/R(p).How you have considered 100% poc?
From your data,it looks to me that you have met the target revenue from actual cost which is less than planned one.Inventory indicates that you can generate revenue in next accounting period (unlike WIP).I feel that unlike plant stock,RA is not perfomed on project stock Murli, can ammend my view if it is wrong.
You can post this problem to Fi/Co.

Problem with project stock valuation class

Dear All,
We have an issue regarding the Revenue Inventory and Capital Inventory. There is a certain balance amount which should be in capital but system is showing in Revenue and vice versa.
The reason for this is that when the material was created, in some materials the main valuation class was 3032(Project) and in some it was maintained as 3030(revenue). But project stock valuation class was not maintained.
Now the problem persists in the G/L balances, the G/L of project stock (132006)displays some amount of revenue(132000) and vice versa.
We tried to maintain the project stock valuation class (3032) for materials for which the main valuation class is 3030 (Revenue),but still the G/L for revenue (132000) is getting hit.
At the end, the requirement is that G/L for revenue (132000) should hit when revenue procurement is there and G/L for capital (132006) should hit when capital procurement is there.
Kindly suggest the way forward.
Regards,
Harsh

Thanks Venkat, we have thought of the same as a last stop but there are hundreds of materials which has this problem and there would be many open documents for them.
If anything could be suggested other then this, and I wanted clarification on one more point that the materials for which main valuation class was 3030 and later we added 3032 in project stk Val class but after maintaining it. When we procure(Capital procurement), it is still showing the balance in G/L 132000(Revenue).

Harsh

Report for Project Stock Balances as on a previous Date

Hi PS Gurus !!
We need to have a Report that gives the Project Stock Balances and Values as on a Past Date. The system gives a Current Status Report, but is there a Report that gives the Values for Past Date. This is a report for the Auditor's Interest.
Secondly, we would also need a Report on the Movement of Project Stock in the past periods. Is this possible ??
Thanx !!
Ravi

Hi Everyone !!
I would once again request all of you to kindly answer to my question, as I need a solution to this urgently.
