Project System Cash Management in combination with statistical WBS element

Hi,
within a customer project, we have to solve the following issue:
Customer runs projects and statistical projects in combination with internal orders.
We want to use the PS Cash Management for planned and actual payments.
With statistical projects we have the following problem:
Invoice and actual payments will be processed with the transaction CJFN.
Actual payments are shown only on the internal order (transaction CJIA), but not on the statistical WBS element.
We want the information about the actual payments with in the project system reporting (S_ALR_87013574).
Projects, not flagged as statistical will deliver the expected results.
Many thanks for your ideas, to solve this problem.
Steffen

are u posting to some other cost object also. normally they wud have to be posted to a COPA also with the cost element being 11 category.
the wbs will receive the statistical posting, so there needs to be a real object also.
see whether the real object is getting derived.
the system is nt finding the real object and trying to post with the WBS in real, but since its statistical, the error.
any other calrifications. plz post.

PO for stock with statistical WBS element

Dear colleagues,
My customer wants to create Purchase Orders for regular valuated plant stock with a statistical assignment to a WBS element, so they can report on the total procurement costs per project/WBS.
They do not wish to use project stock, because of the integration with Demand Planning in APO.
Does anyone have an idea if this is possible and if so, how to configure this? I am out of ideas.
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

Availability control on statistical WBS element

Hi everybody,
The issue deals with availability control on statistical WBS element.
Part 1 : I released 25000 as budget (CJ32) for a statistical WBS element.
Availability control is active for this WBS element.
We made a good receipt (MIGO) for 20000 on an AUC (asset under
construction) - so we get the value as statistical value on the WBS
element -, then invoice verification (MIRO) and finally the asset
transfer (ABUMN) from asset under construction to fixed asset.
On this statistical WBS element we get +20000 (MIRO) and -20000 (ABUMN).
The problem is that the amount that is used for the availability check
is 0, instead of 20000 as you can check !!!
We set a budget on the statistical WBS element in order to have the
availability check ... and this is not working as the system in the described case shows 25000 as available but for me we should have only 5000 (= 25000 - 20000).
Part 2 : This is working perfectly (I get the expected value for available) when we use a "real" WBS element, put an expense on it, then run the period end closing tranction CJ88 in order to transfer the cost on an AUC, and finally run CJ88 again in order to transfer from AUC to fixed asset.
Did anybody already encountered this problem with statistical WBS element ? How did you solve this (we would like to keep our statistical WBS element) ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Benjamin,
Pl go through the link below :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/3e/a98337dd34ca76e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
I have not faced this but as far as I remeber for AUC Statistical assignments have some limitations.
Any specicfic reason for keeping the WBS Statistical? Are you able to see "0" zero on this WBS in CN41.

Sudhanshu
PS: Assign points as a way to say thanks.

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

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

Issues with statistical WBS

Hi,
I've created a project profile for statistical WBS elements. I've also created network profile (which calls external number ranges) for this project. When I create a project in CJ20N, I'm encountering some issues. There is no issues when creating WBS elements. But the problem is, when creating networks, I'm getting a message stating "Receiver categ. WBS is not allowed by settlement prof. 000090 for this sender". What do you think should be the issue?
Aman

since the WBS is statistical you cannot settle to it
your settlement profile 00090 on the network type configuration needs to be changed accordingly

ACTUAL COSTS:REPORT WITH STATISTICAL WBS AND ASSETS ASSIGNED TO THEM

Hi all,
I would like to run a report that gave me this info:
WBS Element (all statistical)
Assets assigned to each WBS
Actual costs
It would be perfect CJI3 but it doesn't show assets. In AM I haven't see either any report that shows WBS elements...
any ideas???

An statistical WBS element is an SAP object . Statistical means that you need another object to post the cost or income, let's say,an asset.
Actual costs are the real postings you have in an object, coming from MM, SD, GL ... (just the contrary as budget or planned values).

Settlement to cost center posted for statistical WBS element

We have the following scenario
Statistical WBS elements with assigned Cost center posted for actual postings
Network assigned to statistical WBSE and settlement rule on the same WBSE
On settlement run CJ88 the network costs are transferred from network to Cost Center posted in the WBSE.
Issue:
While analysing the active availability control the assigned value is doubled. This happens only of the networks are settled. System considers the Actual values from network + Statistical value from WBSE to caculate the assigned values.
Simulation details as under.
SP-SET-02-3 (wbs element)
    COSS 2011 11 0007101000     0001240704 KOAO D INR                 100.00 INR

Hence the assigned value gets doubled and eating up the budget.
Anyone encountered similar issues pls share the possible solutions.

No costs visible statistical WBS element

Hi,
The followin steps are the setup:
- Project with a statistical WBS element and a network below
- Create a PO with Account category "Fixed Asset"
- Fill in a fixed asset, but also a (statistical) WBS element (put fields 'project' and 'network' optional in customizing)
- execute a MIGO to book costs
Now when I run the cost report for this project using transaction CJI3 then I do NOT get the costs visible on this statistical WBS element.
HOWEVER when I do the same steps, but instead of putting a statistical WBS element I put the network (next to the fixed asset) then I do get the costs visible.
Is this normal or do I have to change something in order to get the costs visible for my statistical WBS element?
kindest regards

It is normal

Is this necessary?
Because in the end I want to book these costs as actual costs on my fixed asset...

Statistical WBS Element in Sales Order

Hi,
I tried to post a sales order with a statistical WBS element but the system shows me an error saying I can't open it because the WBS is statistical (Message CJ070).
Could it be a problem of Controlling Area or Operating Cornern?
Is there a setting that allow me to open a sales order on statistical WBS element?
Thanks

Open a Sales Order on statistical WBS element. How?

Hi,

To best of my knowledge, WBS is only a search criteria if u wish u take a doc as ref. in sales order. this ref. will happen only if the previous doc is prepared with ref to WBS. may be at header or item level. but i wonder how will it track the doc if there are multiple WBS in previous doc. u can assign WBS in account assignment tab page.
I wonder if i have helped u with my answer.

We want to post actual cost through statistical WBS elements.

when we do the posting on Costcenter assigned to a Statistical WBS element (2nd level), I was in the opinion that, the actual cost posted on the Costcenter of statistical WBS (2nd level) will reflect to the top WBS element (which is non-statistical in 1st level).
But, I cannot able to see the actual cost in the 1st level WBS which also a Billing element (with this, finally we want to do the Resource Related Billing).
So expalin me how to bring actual cost posted on the costcenter of a Statistical WBS, to top WBS element which is non-statistical.

U can book the actual cost from Procurement Cycle or by direct Invoice posting using FI transaction.
Procurement Cycle:
When you create PR or PO user Account Assignment Q or P and maintain WBS element. When u do GR or service entry actual cost is captured on the Project (WBS element).
Using FI Transaction:
When there is no PO and to book the cost u can use F-43 to post actual cost (via Invoice) and mention WBS element.
U can check the Actual Cost using Line item report CJI3 or S_ALR_87013532.

Statistical WBS elements-Budgeting and Use

Hi Guys,
Need some KT from you all regarding Statistical WBS Elements.My queries are
1.Can a statistical WBS element be budgeted? If yes how are the Budget distributed to those below.
2..If a level 2 WBS is marked statistical and it has 3 WBS under it which are Acc asignment element then how is the budget distributed.
3.can you provide some good example of the use of Statistical WBS element?
Thanks in Advance
ssk

Hi Shourya,
1. As mentioned above Statistical WBS can be budgeted like any operative project and the budget can further be divided into lower level WBS elements and Availaility Control can be activated on these.
2. Again as stated above the budget distribution is normal. For ex- If a level 2 WBS is statistical and level 2's underneath that are real WBS.
3. We can use the Statistical WBS for capital projects. For ex- We can assign a Statistical WBS in Master record of AUC for Availability control of budget for Capital spending. And then when we create a PO with Account Assignment category A with same AUC, budget control (Availability control) is activated through the statistical WBS.
Someone might ask but why we want to use WBS for budget control why not I/O? It's because it provides more visibility over different departments (divided by structure). And via this process we can see all our PO's on AUC directly from Asset Explorer (AW01N).
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
BS

Line item report on Statistical WBS element.

Hi All,
I need to extract Line report on statistical WBS element. I tried CJI3 and end up with the message No costs, revenues or finances were selected.
can some one help me on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Vinod

Hi,
Please check below:
Table PRPS: Select OBJNR and pass to RPSCO and check if any value exists there. Note down the Value type, Year.
While in CJI3, please check if any dynamic Selection is active, remove all.
if mutliple selection shows any exclusions, remove all.
Posting Data: Remove the values. (Or put from 01.01.1900 to 31.12.9999)
Select the standard SAP Layout (Starting with 1SAP)

PM Budget - Statistical WBS element

Hello,
My intention is monitoring the PM budget for a plant by linking every PM order to a statistical WBS element.
After posting on the PM order and performing costplanning via CJ40 i get a overview in transaction: S_ALR_87013543 - Actual/Plan/Variance Absolute/Variance %.
However. Not every PM order shows up in the report. I thought it had something to do with the moment you assign the WBS element to the PM order but this didn't prove to be a valid statement (before or after actual postings on PM order).
I can probably find out by extensive testing, but i was wondering if anybody knows if there are specific rules regaring the usage of statistical WBS elements in PM orders? More specificaly, when the assignment will NOT work and the actual costs will not show up in S_ALR_87013543.
Kind regards,
Peter Hageman

Settling was done towards a Costcenter. The WBS element used is a statistical WBS element, that only can be used for reporting purpose. how the settlement rule is set up doesn't matter in this case.
Issue no longer exists.
Solution was evident. WBS element in the order was stored on the location tab, and in order to use CJI3, you have to link it on the additional data tab...
