Projects/WBS elements with identification "A" exist

Hi Experts,
While attempting change of project ID key length in OPSK, the following error experienced,
Please suggest the steps to change the length from 1 to 3.
The details error message:
Message no. CS084
Diagnosis: The key can only be extended, if there are no project definitions or WBS elements that are only identified with their external number by the key of the project editing mask.
Example: Project editing mask 'EB-XXX-000'. The key cannot be extended if the external number is only 'EB'.
Procedure: You can only change this by changing the external number.

I agree with Gokul.
First you will have to archive all the projects with the existing key for coding that you want to change. Then lock the existing mask (or delete it). You cannot create a new mask with a longer key till you do this. You will then have to change the length of the key from 1 to 3 for project coding.
Hope this helps.

Projects/WBS elements with the editing mask A still exist.

Hi All,
I am trying to create a New Coding Mask with Project ID "A" in Dev client 100. ( Ex: A.0000.XX)
But System is giving an error says that"There are still projects or WBS elements with edit mask A in the system. Therefore you cannot change them".
But there is no WBS or PD's with this coding mask existing in development client 100.What to do?Is there anyone faced this problam earlier?Any refresh activity required for this?
Thanks in Advance!
Thanks
Suresh Kumar.

Hello,
You need to check whether there are any projects in the system starting with "A" using CNS41. If at all there are any project existing in the system which starts with "A" then the system wont allow to create coding mask which starts with "A"
You can try to delete these project if possible and then try out if the system allows you to create the coding mask.
Thanks and Regards,

Creation of a new wbs elements to an already existing project

1. i am using BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI to create a new wbs element in an already existing project.When this is done then i am using BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT and then bapi_transaction_commit
so this creates the wbs element which i guess but only the element.
2. Now i need to attach the networks to it which are there in BOM so i am taking all the network data from the table afko joining it with aufk.It is giving all the network data which was there attached prior to the project but the new one it is not showing.The query is
SELECT afkoaufnr afkopronr aufkpspel aufkktext aufk~loekz
INTO (afko-aufnr, afko-pronr, aufk-pspel, aufk-ktext, aufk-loekz)
FROM ( afko AS afko INNER JOIN aufk AS aufk ON aufkaufnr = afkoaufnr)
WHERE afko~pronr = w_wbs_cur-psphi.
3.Now i am comparing this data from above to the BOM data and take the difference of the networks which are to be created.
But as the above query is not returning the new wbs so it is getting failed.

i am already using this
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_KONPD_INPUT'
    EXPORTING
      input     = g_znpsdata_old-project_definition
    IMPORTING
      output    = w_wbs_cur-psphi
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found = 1
      OTHERS    = 2.
do i need to use the other one also

Problem in MRP run with Project/WBS Element

Dear PP Gurus,
I want to run MRP thro Project/WBS Element.
I have created WBS Element & WBS BOM for Material. Then created sales order for that material and assign WBS element to sales order.
Maintain Planning Strategy 21 ( Make to Order/Project) for Main Mtl.
Now when I run MRP with MD51 then no requriements are generated for main material and its components.
Is there any thing missing from PS-PP & SD point of view?
Pl guide me for the same.
Thanks in Advance.
Umesh

Dear Nagrajan,
Thanks for your reply.
There is no safety stock & un-restricted stock of that material.
Also I don't want to assign this mtl to that wbs Network. If I assign the Material to WBS network then network req.is generated and thro Normal MD02 MRP generates the requirements.
& in the plan order it will not show WBS Element
But My req. is I want to run MRP with MD51 & want WBS element as account asignment tab in plan order & production order too.
IS there any config. missing from PP/ PS / SD ?
Pl guide me for the same.
Thanks ,
Umesh

How to identify WBS elements with AuC status

Hello Experts,
We had earlier developed a report which determines whether the entered project id can be set to CLSD status or not. The problem arises with few WBS elements which have AuC statuses. The report is displaying them as closeable but we fail to close them through CJ20N. The problem is that the program captures the status of some projects as TECO but these projects have WBS elements which have statuses like "TECO BUDG AUC SETCu201D because of which the system doesnu2019t allow CJ20N to close it. So can any one help me suggest any means by which we can detect whether any of a projects WBS elements are in the AUC status?
Regards,
Uday

Hi Virendra,
Thanks a lot for your inputs. I was trying to go through the tables in detail before I again get back to you about anything. From TJ02 I got to know that I0163 is the status code for Asset in construction costs. So I obtained the OBJNR values of all my WBS elements and I went through all the 3 tables TJ02, JCDS & JSTO that you had suggested. The data in JEST for 1 of the OBJNR values contained this I0163 value in 1 row. I wasn't however sure as to which particular status we could consider for the WBS from among the list. Is it something like the last row of the table would be the current status of the element & that all the other statuses just point to the various history of changes that it went through? (Am mailing you a copy of the same thread so that you would get the data displayed in a proper tabular format.)

Uday

Partial WBS element with wildcard

Hi everyone,
Through CN43N report if i search Projects / WBS like B* or Io*, I get a result but the same search if i do in SAP Adhoc query ( SQ01 ) where wbs element is in the selection screen. I get a message that WBS element B* does't exist. How the same functionality can be incorporated in SAP query as well ?
I am available to provide any other information you wish to analyse & to provide your inputs.
Regards
Gaurav Ahuja

Hi Gaurav,
Instead of B* you can use a range from B to BZZZZZZZZ for example, but in more complex cases like *DS*A* it can be more challenging.
I think it is just a feature, same inconsistent between different reports.

ALV Filter Selection w/ error "WBS element 0000000000000000 does not exist"

Hello,
In a few ALV reports, we have WBS Element column showed in ALV list and WBS Element defined as type BSEG-PROJK, which has conversion routine ABPSP.
When WBS Element is used for ALV list Filter, in Selection screen, error message "WBS element 0000000000000000 does not exist" is pop up as we hit Enter key or click on u201CSelection optionsu201D button with no value entered in Input fields.
We get same error even after we enter an existing WBS Element in Low selection input field and hit Enter key.
Itu2019s ok if we enter existing WBS Element value in both Low and High selection input fields.
We know we have workaround by entering both Low and High input field, and we can fix ALV reports by using character based WBS Element, such as PRPS-POSKI.
BUT, as users told me, they donu2019t have this problem before and it just happened. We checked the recent Transports and couldnu2019t see anything relevant.
Could any of you let me know if you have any clue or if thereu2019s any other way to fix it besides changing report by report.
Thank you.

Runtime Error Project/WBS Element

Hello,
I am getting a Runtime error (statement message 'E') every time i search in the match code for either a Project or a WBS Element, regardless of what transaction they appear in.
Can anyone help me with this?
Stephen

Did you make any changes to the project coding masks? This error could happen as result in changes to the mask. Project numbers which were valid as per earlier masks may not be fit as per new masks.
If above is a reason implement the note 453280 - Conflicting coding mask and project/WBS element

How can I achieve this?

Problem opening Project/WBS Elements in CJ03

Hi Experts,
I have created an interface which posts PROJECT01 Idocs into SAP 6.0. Idocs are posted successfully and I can see Projects/WBS elements in tables PROJ and PRPS.
However, when I try to open a project/wbs through transaction CJ03, it throws short dump mentioning memory overflow. I checked by debugging CJ03 and found that the code is going into infinite loop.
Could anyone help me understand why this kind of problem is coming? What is the reason the code is going into infinite loop? If the project/wbs structure is not getting created properly, how can I check that?
Thanks in advance.
Netrey

The issue is resolved. The structure coming throug Idoc itself was incorrect.

WBS Element Version Released Already Exists

Dear All,
When we create a Project by copying another Project, we get the error message " WBS Element Version Already Exists. Help.
Regards,
Shareeq

Hi,
When you are copying project from template then you need to select WBS triangle instead of green tick.
You will enter in the screen wherein you need to replace std WBS with the one which is to be adopted. Then select check and include so that for every activity , WBS element you will find your given nomenclature.
Try this and revert.

Automatic creation of PS-project, WBS-elements in wrong sequence

We have been able to build up a system where PS-project is automatically created once the cProject project is released. The PS project is successfully created and the WBS-elements correspond to the phases in cProjects project as wanted. However, the sequence of the WBS-elements is the other way round as the sequence of the phase in cProject project. Is there an IMG node where we can define the sequence?
We are using SAP RPM 4.5 (CPR Xrpm 450_700: Support package 0009)
Any help appreciated

Hi Antti,
I may need some help from you.

My client have a requirement to create the PS proejct in R/3 . Appreciate your immeadiate help.
Thanks in Advance.
