Project stock linked to 2 WBS elements

Dear experts,
We are doing the implementation of SAP into a telco company and we have got the following issue for purchases of networks links. The special thing about network links is that refer to materials that have to be build into two locations, and therefore, from a controlling point of view, each location has to be tracked separately (there are separate project stocks and the
materials end up in different fixed assets) However, they are purchased as a single unit. The key question is: how do you specify an accounting object for this single item?
In SAP, links would be assigned a (single) WBS element, which is essentially a cost collector for one specific location, it cannot be used for two locations. Furthermore, using multiple account assignment doesnu2019t work either because it is not compatible with accounting category Q.
Any idea how can we solve this issue?
Thank you very much for your help,
Luis

There are two options to cater to your requirement:-
First,Do the Project wise procurement by running an MRP for each WBS element and for each WBS element you can have network assigned which has the Material attached as componenet for that particular network and than procurement element can be created automatically by MRP .
Secondly if you still want to adopt the multiple account assignment than follow as described below:
You can have multiple account assignment category configured for Account assignment Cat. Q  by changing the ID:Account  Assignment Screen from 1 TO 2(Multiple account assignment.
This configuration change has to be done SPRO >Purchasing >Account Assignment> Mantain Account  Assignment Catgory and here select Q account assignment catgeory and make relevant changes as explained above.

  • Link PR to WBS element

    Hi gurus!
    I would like to know if there is a table that will link EKPO to a WBS element. Leading to the table PROJ?
    I want to get the WBS element given a PR number. I can see the WBS element in tcode ME53N, however
    I don't know what table to check to get the WBS element per PR.
    I appreciate your help!
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Enter the PR Number in Table EBKN & not EKKN. Then, you will get the WBS Element in field PS_PSP_PNR.

  • Moving Average Price does not get updated for Project Stock

    Hello Experts
    We have an Engineer-to-Order implementation for our client. Accordingly procurement is done per project. Each Project issues its PRs which are then converted to POs and recieved into Project Stock.
    While assigning the material to the Network activity in Project (using material component) the system uses the price found in the material master (MAP or STD) as a planned cost appended to the project.
    Problem:
    while procuring the material, when we receive it into Project Stock (Mvt 101 Q + ) the Moving Average Price in the material master does not get updated. this way all newly created material master will never have a moving average price, thus whenever we try to assign them to the project we receive an error message (Cost for Material Component ###Mat.Num### cannot be determined.
    Question:
    How can I get the system to update moving average price (for all types of stock) based on procurement for project stock.???
    Your help is kindly appreciated.

    I'm sorry for the confusion
    Case:
    The T-code is CJ20N Project Builder in PS module
    we are assigning material components to network activities under a certain WBS element in the project.
    there is a function in the Project Builder to calculate the cost of a network. it uses the costing variant assigned to the network which is PS02 (We get the error here)
    The costing variant has a valuation variant which lists a series of strategies  to get the material price. Planned 1 if not then STD if not then MAP. (you can choose between many options via a drop down menu) you can choose 5 consequent options.
    The MAP that the valuation variant is coded to get is the Plant Stock MAP -- Or the Project Stock MAP but only Per WBS element.
    The MAP that the Actual postings update is the Project Stock MAP only Per WBS element.
    This means that if you use a material component to purchase material 123 Acc.As. Q for WBS X for 10 $ then you try to assign a new material component with the same material 123 to WBS Y, the system will not get a MAP. because it's stored in QBEW per WBS element.
    This way the system will never get the MAP right.
    However, we don't always use project stock to procure for projects, for some requirements we can assign and use plant stock as well for Projects. that way we need the MAP from plant stock.
    In the Valuation Variant you can use a User Exit Strategy. The user exit's name is COPCP005
    My Suggestion is:
    Use the User Exit COPCP005 to calculate the { Total value / the total quantity (MAP) from QBEW + Total value / total quantity (MAP) from MBEW } / 2
    which is the MAP for both plant and project stock together, since that we are going to use both.
    Q: Is this correct !?

  • (ABAP-FI)How to get project definition from agiven WBS element

    Hi,
    I have to update some columns of PRPS table relating to a WBS element.
    While using  BAPI_BUS2054_CHANGE_MULTI it wants project definition to be passed as an input parameter.
    Is there any means to know project definition for  a given WBS element of PRPS table.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sourya Prakash.

    Hi,
    why don't you display table PRPS in SE11 to see what fields you have there? It's not that hard to see that there is a field PRPS-PSPHI with description "Current number of the appropriate project". Yes, there is a link from WBS element to project definition.
    Cheers

  • 1 project definition with several wbs elements or several project definitin

    Hello
    I need projects as account assignment elements in CO (when entering vendor invoices for costs). Should I have 1 project definition with all projects /wbs elements underneath, or should I have 1 project definition uniquely defined for each project/wbs element? Some projects are not settled to assets und construction, some projects are settled to assets und construction.
    kind regards
    Arjan

    I don't think you can have Projects as account assignment objects. You can have WBS element as account assignment object.
    One alternative I can suggest, if you want to see project costs at higher level instead of breaking down the project into many WBS elements. Create a project with one WBS element only and use that WBS element as account assignment object.
    It is only possible to have a project with one or more WBS elements. I don't think you can define projects within projects.
    letus put it this way assume WBS elements are projects within a project. But make sure all the WBS elements are related to one project
    Hope you are clear now.
    Thanks

  • Project WBS element cost allocation

    Dear All,
    In a project we have created 10 WBS elements out of which one is used for common expenses and rest other or individual works carried out in the project. Now i want to allocate the Common cost of one WBS element to other nine WBS elements.
    Can anybody explain how this can be done and is there any possibilites of costing gets doubled in the project if the cost transffered to other WBS elements.
    Thanks and regards

    Thanks for the reply,
    I have another query also, i had transferred the WBS element cost to other WBS element cost in the same Project.Whether it will double the Revenue or Cost incurred
    For ex, WBS Element A got 100 and i had settled to WBS Elements B and C , now B and C got 50 50 each
    now my project will have
    a) WBS Elements A-100, B-50 and C-50   or
    b) WBS Elements A-0, B-50 and C-50 ,  for my understanding option (b) will be right. Your views pls

  • Link between Cost element GL Account and WBS element.

    Hi,
    I want to get the List of all dollars sitting on the GL account  attached to the selected WBS element.
    For this, Any one please suggest me the table where i can get the link between the WBS element and GL account.
    or
    Table for link between the Cost element and GL account
    and Table for link between the Cost element and WBS element.
    Thanks,
    Suresh.

    Hi,
    1. There is no link between cost element and WBS
    2. Link between cost element and G/L account is one-to-one. This means, that if it's a primary cost element it has the same code as the G/L account. If it's a secondary element, no link exists.
    3. The table where you can see the postings on your WBS is COEP. There you will find the cost element, WBS, amounts, etc.

  • Change PP order from PLANT STOCK to PROJECT STOCK ?

    We are creating a production order via BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_REF.  We are using an existing production order as our reference.  The existing production order has account assignment to WBS, and the existing production order is listed under PROJECT STOCK in MD04.  The newly created order does not have the assignment to WBS, and also is showing up as a fulfillment of PLANT STOCK in MD04.
       We attempt to update (via CO02)  the newly created order by populating the WBS and settlement rule, but  it remains in PLANT STOCK.  How can we get the production order removed from  PLANT STOCK and show up in PROJECT STOCK for the correct WBS?

    Hi,
    I doubt the BAPI - BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_REF will help for your need, as WBS element is not one of the inputs for this BAPI.
    A suggestion which might help:
    - Create a planned order using BAPI - BAPI_PLANNEDORDER_CREATE by specifying the planned order type as PR. Here you can give the details of WBS & other things as needed.
    - Next use BAPI - BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_PLORD where-in you can convert the planned order create in the earlier step into a production order.
    This will ensure that the order will be in project segment.
    Regards,
    Vivek
    Added
    Just to inform you, SAP confirms that the BAPI - BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_REF simulates CO01 & not CO10. Hence you will be unable to use this BAPI to meet your need.
    You can use the option suggested earlier or go for a BDC recording.

  • Return to vendor from Blocked Project stock - Line rejection

    hi
    I have a problem in doing line rejection for return delivery from a blocked project stock.
    we had modified F5 notification for Project related senario to FQ and using the same for doing line rejection return delivery directly from project stock with the help of action box.
    While the include is accessing MSPR table for picking up the project stock.
    the steps involved are as below.
    1. create FQ notification (Similar to F5) by giving inputs as Material to be rejected,Plant, Defect code from existing code group and assign the purchase order.
    2. Tranfer the project stock to blocked projection stock ie.rejection stores using 344 movement type. while doing this 344 we give input of WBS element, storage location and Batch.Stocks against this WBS are picked from MSPR table and trasnferd to rejection stores.
    3.After this while doing return to vendor we give the reason code and post 122 document.
    the problem is if the material is having two WBS elements it and both have stock in rejection stores this follow up action is unable to pick the Exact stock for which the WBS element is assigned to notification while 344 movement.
    please suggest me as how the WBS element can be retrived from a notification which was used for earlier actions in action BOX.
    regards
    NVB

    Hi
    If u want to return the material to the vendor. In MIGO itself select return delivery against the material document with movement type 122 u can send it.
    This is irrespective of material lying in quality or blocked. From quality or from blocked status u can send the material back to vendor.
    No need for quality to Un restricted or Blocked to Un restricted.

  • PRPS-KOSTL in WBS Element

    Hi to all -
    Our customer desires to see all postings to the general ledger accounts broken down by cost center.  For warranty projects, the settlement rule for WBS elements will be to a Warranty Accrual Account (liability account) and Warranty Expense Account (expense account).  These postings need to be by cost center.
    In the WBS element, the coster center field (PRPS-KOSTL) is only available if the WBS element is checked as a statistical WBS.  I would like to use either Responsbile Cost Center, Requesting Cost Center or even a user field as an input field and then substitute this value to the PRPS-KOSTL.  When this is tested, we get the following message:
    "Field WBS_CCTR_POSTED_ACTUAL/CCtr posted actual: Changing the contents of the field is not permitted
    Message no. CJ727
    Diagnosis
    Contents of field WBS_CCTR_POSTED_ACTUAL/CCtr posted actual are to be modified, either by substitution or batch input.
    Because the system noted that a field was not ready for input no chnage was allowed.
    System Response
    Processing stopped.
    Procedure
    Check the field attributes or the action."
    My question is if there is a way to use PRPS-KOSTL with out defining the WBS as a statistical WBS.
    On the FICO siide, we are using report FAGLL03 to view the G/L accounts.  On this report, KOSTL is available as a selection field to create the segmentation the customer desires.
    A final issue we have not gotten to - is if we can get the Cost Center on the WBS and settle the WBS to the G/L accounts - will the Coster Center information come over to the CO tables for use in FAGLL03.
    Thanks,
    BGS

    Hi,
    It is possible to settle as required partly to GL and partly to Cost Center by configuring the allocation structure.
    Regarding the error please refer SAP Notes 767465 & 430244
    Tnx

  • WBS elements deletion

    I deleted some of the WBS elements a week ago.
    Now I still see them under the search list,
    Is it because they are marked for deletion and not deleted actually,
    If yes what should I do to remove them.
    Please reply.

    Hi Ramesh,
    The scene is like this.
    End users created WBS elements starting with H.****
    Then after I assigned project code H for tht co.code.
    after applying project coding mask [OPSJ] those WBS elements automatically got deleted, I m not sure if they are deleted or not but when i go to CJ02 and enter that WBS it says it does not exists. but it still shows those WBS elements under ths search criteria.
    I reffered to OSS notes as per it they have corrected this problem in version I am using.
    Please guide if you have any idea.

  • Reversing TECO status for Multiple WBS elements

    Hi,
    Question on setting and then reversing TECO status for a WBS element.
    When a project is closed technically in project builder, all underlaying items (wbs, network/activity) are technically closed as well.
    When you try to undo this, only the status of the top element is changed, not the underlaying items.
    Is there any way in which we get the underlaying items changed as well (mass change is not an option)
    Regards,
    Jatinder Bansal

    You can try two methods :-
    1.  Open project in project builder, Select project definition and then go to WBS Overview under project definition, now select all WBS Element and then undo TECO status. Now all the WBS status will be updated. But, this will not have any effect on network and its activities.
    2. Open the project in planning board, now select all the objects, now undo the TECO status. This will change the status of all selected objects like WBS,Network and activites....
