(project system) do book confirmation amount as a actual cost

HI all
it is possible in project system when i confirm my activity then it does not book actual cost to my network activity.
because i need to show this confirm amount as  only for information purpose....my clint requirement.
thanks

with the material ledger, actual costs are not only used to value the stock at the period end. You also have the possibility to revalue the cost of goods sold with the actual costs of production for the period.
The system takes initial stock, initial value, production of the period, actual costs of production of the period to calculate "cumulative stock of the period" and "cumulative value". The cumulative value per unit is then applied to all consumption of the period (goods sold) and the final stock.
Your only alternative to the material ledger would be to value yout finished goods at V-price, not S-price. The problem with this is that you don't necessarily have all the information about actual costs at the moment your finished product enters stock. For example actual activity prices can only be reasonably calculated per period.
Whether V-price is an option depends on the details of your scenario.
To me material ledger is the right way to value stocks and COGS at actual cost.

  • Project system: error when confirm an activity

    Hi Gurus,
    I try to confirm an activity ( TC: CJ20N ). I go through "Edit / Activity / Confirm" but I get following message NO VALID CAPACITY FOR FINITE SCHEDULING (mssg Nr. C7 057).
    However I already confirmed an activity assigned to the same work center.
    Do you have any explanation what why the error message occurs???
    What does the indicator relevant for finite scheduling mean?
    Please advice!
    Thanks

    Hi
    I think you are using Capacity planning for scheduling activities in PS. Hence check your work center or any reports of your PS/WBS where u can see the available capacity for scheduling your activity.
    This is not refferring to the Activity type in controlling, it is referring to the Internal Activity in PS.

  • Project System - Report Painter - Cost roll up issue

    Hi,
    We have an issue with the roll up of the costs in Report Painter report in Project Systems. The problem occurs only with those costs which have been settled to an internal order from a WBS element.
    We are using the same cost elements to settle to the Cost Center and Internal order and roll up of the costs work fine for those settled to cost center. But the roll up does not happen for the costs settled to an internal order. Would appreciate if someone can guide on how to fix this issue.

  • Project system - Budget

    Hi
    We have activated Project system at our end.
    We are maintaining Budget at cost element level in project system.
    we required to maintained in at both cost element and material level which we have given with example wise
    Can any body help in the same -- Please guide us
    Example
    If initial we procure Material A - in 2005 at the rate of Rs.500/-
    per kg and quantity required for the project is 200 KG
    Accordingly we maintained the budget for the same for Cost element for Rs. 100000/-.
    If during the execution stage the cost went up to Rs. 700/- Per kg. say in year 2006.  and we raise a purchase order for 142 KG where the budget will get  exhusted. but we can not able to put the trace on quantity wise budget tracking.
    I Do agree that value wise we can put the track but i required it to maintained t quantity wise also.

  • PS - Report on Planned v/s actual cost of the project

    Hi,
    I have a client requirement on the above subject. In Report S_ALR_87013542, Under actual cost the system is taking both the Revenue and Actual cost booked on the project. Is there any other report wherein the system shows only the actual cost booked on the project so that planned V/s Actual can be compared.
    Rgds,
    Prasad

    Hi,
    You can also refer the report S_ALR_87013543 - Actual/Plan/Variance Absolute/Variance %. This will give the reports based on cost elements. Morever plan cost Vs actual cost can be obtained from Project Infosystem report (CN41/ CNS41).
    In fact the report S_ALR_87013533 is a hiecherachical report for plan & actual cost of project.
    If the system is calculating wrongly both revenue & actual cost under actual then you need to check Cost elements asignments & value category details.
    Hope this will help you.

  • OTL with Projects and Payroll Integration - Actual Costing

  • Material To be Valuated in Project System

    Hi All,
    We are implementing PS,MM,SD,FI &CO for a companay which works essentially on engineer to order scenario and using vlauated projec stock & actvity account assigned networks
    Inhouse production is through typical assembly processing process - Where input & output materials are transferred through BOM PS Transfer from WBS BOM.
    Input materials are issued to activity; work performed by work centers are entered by confirmation; at completion of work out put materials is 'Received from activity'. Both material issue and receipt are done wrt reservation.
    When this is done, as per standard process, the cost addition (and hence value addition) is to activity and thereby to WBS element. The output material is not valuated. All the cost(or values) become project value which will reflect in WIP calculation. WIP is calculated as month end process.
    At month end if the company wants to know the current asset from project and relevant stocks:
    = WIP of project + Inventory value of the mmaterials.
    Pl. note that only input materials i.e. raw materials and Bought out materials will have inventory value; the output material will not have any value.
    The process is alright and I think we are alos complying to Accounting stanadard for project system - directive from Institute of Chartered accounts - India.
    This process was first aceeptable to customer; but now they say -  the out put materials should be valuated. So that, when inventory value is taken - it is RM+BO and valuated semifinished +valuaed finished materials
    One big reason they say is that they have to show inventory value to the Banks.
    Now I need clarification in following points
    1. How to valuate the out put material when working only with project system. (apart from using user exit )
    2. If this is done, the project cost/WIP calculations will show ups amd downs - as goods receipt with valuated value will be with sign - this will reduced the cost. This will cause variuos problems - almost no standard SAP PS cost report will reflect the reality - WIP can not go up and down...This is illogical.
    3. Have you faced similar situation in implementation - that - Banks can not be conviced about this PSway of WIP calculation? Taking into consideration that project implementation is in India - an experienced reply can be very helpful
    Thanks and regards

    Dear Pradeep,
    When we work with network/activity/wbs element, Finished material is assigned to activity with sign. This means GR can be done. Technically system treats lke by-product. This material will not be valuated with in put costs...since there is no logic...For our convention, one WBS element, one network or one activity can be used to book all related costs..but still GR will happen with valuation as per valuation variant in NW only. This is quite logical and correct.
    So...customer wants to know the cost of manufacturing a complex project assembly..then process under one WBS element..cost accumuated at that WBS element is cost of mfg. I have kept such finihed material std price at Rs.1. (Ideally it should be '0'.). Meaning material will not valuated.
    Now if customer wants to knwo the cost ...look at WBs element
    If needed, you can do unit costing and update the value in a suitable field in material master.
    Therefore, I have kept all the semifinished/finished material std price at Rs.1.
    This way..std functions of PS like RA, costforecasting are work properly.
    For WIP calculation, this is of standard method and WIP will be current asset of company..this will be acceptable to Banks...one concern I had..cross checked with a Banker.
    Another issue was sub-contracting. In India during S/C..we have Delivery challan and legal requirement of excise. We developed a program integrating dc, excise challan, transfer posting, goods issue against reservation and mateials assigned in activity. For user it will appear as one transcation, and system will propmt/list appropriate excise challan No. based on dc no & material as input...(I hope i remember right).
    Again here GR of seni/finished naterial was atRs.1. since Service cosst, matarial issue cost get booked at activty.
    Thanks and regards

    Hi Avinash,
    See my replies below.
    1 a & B: You are planning Qty on NWA and capturing costs - labor & Equipment on NWA elements.
    When  you are having elaborated to NWA-Element level, split your total work on each NWA-element and post labor cost. Thus you will have planned Vs actual costs at one place.
    coming to equipment cost - are you capturing using PO through GR?.
    2.a : Option1- create a separate WBS elements for materials and plan cost at WBS level. That value would be your total planned cost of material procurement as estimated. Under this WBS elements create NWAs and assign the materials. With this set up you can assign material and procure so that will have actual costs coming from GR.
    Option 2: Create a one General Cost activity and assign the total planned cost of material on this NWA.
    When you assign the material components, diligently you have to reduce the equivalent amount from the general costs activity. Also note that on component screen, you have to check box "Cost relevant" so that material cost will add to Cost NWA. Let the different materials  have their own valuation class and have default CEs accordingly. that would not be big issue.
    Please discuss with your MM team to get more information. Also my suggestion is to leave blank CE field in configuration.
    The option2 is very cumbersome and high risk but one have to be very cautious to reduce the value from Cost NWA in order to sustain the planned material costs whenever they added.
    3. I have answered the relevance of Cost relevance check box in above.
    Hope above makes sense.
    Thanks,

  • Asset settlement issue from Project System

    Hello everyone,
    In SAP, we have tied Project System and Fixed Asset in the sense that for each network/activity in PS we create and link an asset in Asset Accounting. In the Purchase Order, the network/activity number is assigned and all the transactions that occur through this PO (including down payment, its clearing, GR/IR)  are then settled on the specified asset when we execute settlement run at month end through CJ88.
    However, we have encountered scenarios where an asset was not timely allocated to the network/activity but the transactions were carried out through the PO. When the settlement run was executed, its impact was not visible in Asset Accounting. Later, it was realized and the asset was created and assigned. Once the asset was assigned, all the subsequent transactions through the PO were then being settled successfully. But the problem is with those transactions for which the asset number was initially not assigned.
    Is there any program that can be executed to include the impact of the previous transactions. Otherwise, suggest alternatives.
    Thanks

    Hi Thanks for your reply, But that is not relevent to this issue.
    The issue here is -
    First 2 documents has value date of 4th period and the amount is 8800
    Next document has value date of 5th period and the amount is 1200
    Now i am trying to settle 10000(8800+1200) with 5th period date. Its givign an error Settlement amount is greater than Available amount
    Will it solve if i settle 4th period with 8800 first and then 1200 with 5t period? or any other process?

  • Revenue Recognition in Project System

    Hello All,
    At my current client, they are using the Project System (i.e. WBS) only for Cost and Revenue collection. POC,RA,Milestone billing,Network, Activities are out of scope. Keeping the above thing in mind, I need to know how I do the Revenue recognition thru WBS.
    Mu understanding is that If I assign a WBS element on a Sales Order line item, as an account assignment it should collect the Revenue. The only requiremnt should be that WBS should be a billing element and Cost/Revenue profile should carry SD relevant settings. Once the billing is done and invoicing is done, the Revenue should appear against the WBS on running the report S_ALR_87013563/64/65/66.
    Please let me know if this will work or do I need to do some more configuration from PS perspective.
    Thanks
    Sarang

    Hi Sarang,
    1. Mark WBS as billing element.
    2. Assign the sales order line item to the WBS in point 1 or any WBS below that in the hierarchy.
    3. Create a billing plan for the sales order line item.
    4. The billing plan amount would appear as planned revenue against the WBS element (provided no credit hold useVKM3 to release).
    5. Once the line item has been billed ie. Billing document has been created using VF01 or VF04, the Actual revenue would appear against the WBS element.
    In terms of Config:
    Creat a planning profile that allows Automatic Revenue planning form Sales Order (tcode: OPSB)
    Ensure that the planning profile is attached to your project profile (Controlling tab) (tcode:OPSA).
    Please let me know if this helps.

  • Problem in Assembly Processing in Project System

    Hello All,
    My Client want to implement Assembly Processing. We have configured the system as per SAP Standard. we are testing this in Quality System along with SD & PP Modules. we have template which contain Material WBS Process WBS & Other Cost WBS But we are getting all cost of material and process cost on one Material WBS after Production order confirmation. How can we divide this cost separately for Material & Process WBS.
    As SAP Standard Process we maintained activities for different process also but when we tested this we are not clear about the use of these activities. We are not getting any cost or don't have any relation in any way for these activities.
    Please Help me about this Assembly Process.
    Thanks
    Warm Regards

    1. Create a Inquiry in VA11 --OK
    *2. Create Quaotation in VA21 wrf to Inquiry*--OK
    3. Create a Sales order in VA01, while creating sales order, as soon as we assign the material component in SD line item a pop will come for entering std wbs, std ntw, network profile. once we enter this at bottom we can see that scheduling is carried out. Note: if we define material/std wbs/std ntw in CN08 then pop will not come. Now check for errors and save the sales order, at bottom we can see that project order is created. Note: Project number is same as sales order no:---OK
    4. in Billing plan tab at item level we can see the milestones for new project.--In sales order i don't see any milestone or any type of setting. can you please tell me about this we are not able to execute milestone billing in our case.
    Ans to Query: For Milestone billing to work you need to do the following settings in SAPSD
    1.     Create Billing Plan in SD and assign the Billing Plan to Sales Document type you are using. Path: IMGSDBillingBilling Plan
    2.     In the above node , do settings for Define Billing Plan Types, Define And Assign Date Categories, Maintain Date Proposals For Billing Plan Types, Assign Billing Plan Types To Sales Document Types, Assign Billing Plan Types To Item Categories.
    By doing above settings you will get an additional tab u201CBilling Planu201D in Sales order where you can get the milestones generated for new project. For exiting project you can copy milestones to SD from project.
    If you want Billing Plan at sales document item level, assign the billing plan type in Item category.
    5. In Sales order we can see that billing lock is set against the milestones.---Not Found
    Ans to Query: By doing the above settings as in slno 4, you can see the billing block against the milestone*6.Now open the project in Cj20n and go to network we can see sales order no with line item no.*---OK
    7. Now verify the mile stones in the project.--Adding milestone but no effect in billing
    *Ans to Query : you can see that milestone no in Sales order and Project will be same. Note: Subject to in your standard network you should have milestones, so that we you create a sales order new milestones will get generated wrt to milestones in Std network. So when project is created you can see mile stones are also created.*8 .check the requirement list in MD04 against the Finished product we can see that requirement is generated againt project wrt to sales order.---No requirement is displayed .
    To generate the requirements. Check the settings in requirement class.
    9. Run MRP in MDBT/MD02/MD01, based on procurement type in MM , PR's and Pld order will generated. Note: ALL PR's and PLD Orders are account assigned to WBS.---When we execute this MRP this is not picking requirement from project. BOM created by CS01. if we assign material to activity than this MRP is picking requirement from project.
    10. Now do Pr>PO>GR>(ALL all accounted against project.--OK
    11. Convert Pld order to Production order> release the order> Goods issues against production order.--OK
    12. Confirm the Procution order wrt routing operation one by one in CO11N.--OK but we want sageregated cost for material cost and process cost to different WBS as we have material WBS and Process WBS.
    Ans to Query: This is not possible because in Assembly order processing single account assignment is only possible for the finished products, and for that finished product routing is also account assigned to the WBS assigned to Production order. So operation cost comes and sits in same WBS. If at all you want to track separately you can  transfer the actual cost for process to process WBS in tcode:KB11N
    Using KB11N tcode we can manual transfer cost from one WBS to another WBS.13. in cost element reports at projects we can see the cost breakup for all production activities as well as for material.--you mean CJI3 report 
    *Ans to query: Yes you can see in CJI3 report or in SALR_870135452 report also_*14. settle the production order.----where to settle this production order? and how?
    *Ans to Query: For assembly processing account assignment is u201CQu201D so automatically in production order we can see the settlement rule is set against the WBS. So the cost from production order is settled to WBS and subsequently from project to the respective receiver as per settlement rule in project.*
    15. conform all activities in Project.----OK CN25 or CJ20N
    In any of the above tcodes
    16. Do billing in SD as when when mile stone reaches to post actual revenues.----OK
    17. run RA in KKA2 and save the RA results--OK
    18. Run settlement in CJ88 ---Not using any settlement
    19. set the status of Project as Teco and Clsd.---OK
    Please let me know if you need more clarifications
