Re: Approving two plan variants in an appropriation request

Hi All
I have created a variant 01 for appropriation request and approved it. I want to supplement the same appropriation request with a new budget. So , I created a new variant , and assigned it to a new plan version...But the problem here is I was unable to approve the new variant...The approval button is grayed out...Can anyone help me out please...Why the system is not letting me to approve the new plan variant.

Hi ,
as I said variants are like quotations, so you have to maintain it...........
in case of rolling up plan values you have to select respective status profile before rolling up respective variant version or variant version range....... (IM34)
1. approved status profile...
2. created status profile..
3. released status profile...... like that
- give both CRTD & APPRD versions in IM34... select status profile for approved & roll up
then check in IM36 ...

RE: Approving supplement to an appropriation request which was already appr

Hi All
we will create an apropriation request with an initial budget and we will approve one of the different variants of the appropriation request....But in our business process we have to add supplements to the current appropriation requests every quarter ....And the supplements also have to go through the approval process( It is a requirement).....Can any one help me telling the different solutions. Pleaseeeee

Hi Ravi,
I saw your post and scenario 2 that you mentioned in your reply to Steve, is the scenario I am faced with. I would really like your input...
I want to be able to create a budget supplement using AR process and workflow, but instead of replacing the approver AR with WBS(measure) I want to allocate the approved funds to an existing WBS as supplement...
then do rollup and budget distribution...
can you please advice me?
thank you

Appropriation request planning

Hi All,
Where can I go to plan against an appropriation request per month? Currently I can only plan per Year.
Regards,

You can only plan overall and annual values for appropriation requests. It is not possible to plan according to cost elements or revenue elements as you can on orders or WBS elements (specially detailed cost planning per month).
If these methods of determining planned costs are not detailed enough for you, then you can use the functions of Easy Cost Planning for detailed cost planning directly on the appropriation request.
Prerequisites
You have to enter a costing variant in the planning profile for cost planning of appropriation requests. This planning profile has to be entered in the appropriation request type (in the Cost and revenue planning group box).
You can create a cost estimate for any appropriation request variant, which does not yet have a cost estimate and for which there are no plan values outside of the planning interval. Set up the planning interval in the planning profile for cost planning so that planning in the past is also possible.
The appropriation request type has to allow either only projects or only orders as measures.
If you want to copy the cost estimate to the measure later, then you have to set the Copy cost estimate indicator in the appropriation request type.
You edit planning profiles in Customizing for Investment Management. Choose Appropriation Requests -> Planning -> Cost Planning -> Maintain Planning Profile for Cost Planning.
For appropriation request types, choose Master Data -> Control Data -> Maintain Appropriation Request Types.
If these preconditions for costing are not fulfilled, then you cannot jump from the appropriation request to Easy Cost Planning. The system suppresses the necessary pushbutton in that case.
Features
You can enter only one cost estimate for each appropriation request variant.
The overall value that results from the cost estimate can be divided into investment costs and overhead costs on the basis of the investment percentage rate. The system multiplies the combined costs from the cost estimate by the investment percentage. The result is the amount of investment costs.
Once you have entered a cost estimate for a variant, you can no longer change the overall plan values manually. Any changes have to be made in the cost estimate. Only by deleting the cost estimate can you make investment and overhead costs available again for manual processing.
Revenue planning is separate from the cost estimate. Therefore you can still process revenue amounts even if you created a cost estimate.
For general information on the costing method, research on Easy Cost Planning further.

Ammar

Appropriation Request Plan Info Copy to WBS Element

Hi,
I understand that the Plan information specified in Appropriation Request will be copied into WBS elements specified in Measures/Assets section.
I would like to confirm if this happens for both cases below:
- If I put exisitng WBS element under Measures/Assets section (will this overwrite my original plan for WBS element?)
- if I create a new project via Appropriation request, will the plan of the AR be copied to my WBS element (which means I will see updated plan if I check CJ40)?
Thanks!

Vivian

New planning variants in the approved AR

Dear colleagues,
I would like to use same AR approval process for the budget changes (supplements), but for some reason approved AR has inactive icon to create a new planning variant.
Can anyone, please, share the process. I guess it might be related to variant user statuses to support the process?
Thank you!

Hi,
If you are replacing AR with measure then it is not possible to create new variant.
Tnx.

Cost in a variant of appropriation request (IMA2N)

Dear All,
I need create a report that introduce costs in a variant of Appropriation Request. The cost should be introduced
with a legder account as you do in easy cost planning screen in the IMA2N transaction.
I had tried "BAPI_APPREQUEST_SETPLANVALUES" BAPI, but it doesn't allow to introduce the ledger account.
Do you know any BAPI or another thing that I can use to do this?
Thanks.

Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for your answer, but I already had tried a BDC screen capture and an LSMW for IMA2N transaction and the Easy Cost Planning screen is not correctly captured.
Thats why I wanted to know if there is any BAPI.
Thanks and regards.

Number of Appropriation request submitted for approval

Hi Friends,
There are around 14000 appropriation request (AR's) are created in my system. And we have developed workflow for AR approval. And AR should be submitted for approval via only Control tab in IMA11 but some of the AR's are submitted via Variant Tab ( causing problem in work flow)
Now I would like to know the number of AR's which are submitted via variant tab. I can find out this by selecting AR's from IMAK table and then checking IMA11 for each AR but it is very time consuming.
Can I get the number of AR's submitted for approval via variant tab by using any table or any report available for this purpose.
Any pointers.
Regards
Ashutosh

The problem sounds more like a business area problem rather than workflow problem. From the workflow side you can look into the user who created the workflow but I'm not sure that would be helpful. What you might want to do is to check with your DB admin as they might be able to find out a way.

Workflow approval appropriation request by value

IM - Appropriation Request approval authorization based on Budget Value

Hi all,
Can someone help me confirm the following?
I'm implementing Investment Management module and use appropriation request (AR) to approve budgets where AR statuses can be approved only by certain authorization groups, and we do not use Workflow. The problem is that we want the status change not only based on authorization but combined with the budget value. For example, for budget <50,000 then Superintendants can approve the AR but if it's >50,000 then only Managers can approve the AR.
As far as I've looked, IM module does not provide this functionality where authorization can be restricted based on budget value. Can someone confirm this?
Thx very much in advance!
cheers,
-Ri-

The standard AR workflow sends a notification (document once approved) to the applicant and workflow to the approver (for approval). For details refer the link below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/2a/f9f542493111d182b70000e829fbfe/content.htm
Standard reports under Investment Management>Appropriation Requests>Reports on Appropriation Requests>Master Data Lists ex.,T Code IMR5 - Appropriation Request Without Distribution Without Variants with changed layout to include system status would show you the required information.

Preinvestment analysis in Investment Mgt. appropriation request variant

Hi,
Can anybody provide some information on preinvestment analysis in SAP system?
This tab is available in Investment Management- appropriation request - Varinats - Preinvestment analysis - Caliculate preinvestment analysis figures.
I want the preinvestment analysis of an appropriation request shud be caliculated by SAP system itself. Wat r the configurations required to be done?
Thanks
Kishore

You have to do the customization in IMG > Investment management > Appropriation Request > Planning > Specify Yield Curve for Determining Net Present Value
Settings:
1. Enter a yield curve for the currency,
2. For each yield curve, enter any number of terms (The time period is not allowed to exceed 80 years).
3. For each term, enter interest rate.
After this Specify Value Date for Determining Net Present Value in the next step.
Be sure of the cash flow for the variant, for correct calculation of the IRR and net present value.
Reward points if the solution is useful
Thanx

How data update when there is two planning cubes in one aggregation level

If we have two planning cubes and a multi-cube includes these two planning cubes.
then we have the aggregation level defined based on this multi-cube.
if the characteristics and key figures defined in aggregation level all are included in these two planning cubes. When we plan the data with plan query based on this aggregation level, which plan cube will be updated with plan data, or both of them?

HI Wang,
yes as Bindu said you need to restrict the layout based on the infoprovider.
Lets assume that we have a multi provider M1 and it has two planning cubes cube1 and cube1.
in case u develop a layout for updating cube 1 give the restriction in the filter section as infoprovider = cube1.
or the vice versa.
Else ur layout must input values for both the cubes simultaneously, then in that case create two restricted KF with each having a restriction for cube1 and cube 2.
so wen the user enters value for the first restricted KF it will get saved in cube1 and wen he enters value for the second restricted KF it will gets saved in cube2.
This is how it works. Guess this was useful to u.
Regards.
Shafi.

Hi, -->> "Work item 000000394298: Object SELFITEM method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION cannot be executed

It seems, there is a binding issue in your email step. Just check in the workflow log for the correpsonding workitem
