Reduce Remaining Order Planned value for services with PO

Hi guys,
I'am looking for a way to reduce the remaining or residual order plan value for a network activity with services where the amount on the PO is below the planned value. If for example the planned value amounts up to 1000 and the PO has been reduced due to negotiations to 900, a remainder order plan of 100 remains on the network activity till the activity is technically closed.
Is there a way to reduce the ROP when a PO exists for the network activity?
Thanks, Geert

We are combining an early visibility of all costs and a strict budget availability control with a formal procedure for project managers to request additional budget.
We have more and more projects where a part of the budget remains blocked in ROP for service activities because the planned value was more pessimistic than the real PO amount. Since these service activities are typically executed at the end of the project that part remains blocked. Of course the project managers want to use that marging elsewhere without having to pass a request for additional budget.
We have no issue with the network activity planned costs remaining visible, we just want the ROP to be 0 when a the purchase requisition for the service activity has been transformed into a purchase order. In the above example 100 of the budget would be freed for other use.

  • How can I see planned values for services in PS reports?

    Hi experts.
    We are implementing PS for a mining company; in our process, project designers plan materials and services in networks and then get planned values for budget requests.
    The problem I am facing is that I cannot see the planned values from services in the plan values reports. No value is exhibited for version 0 if I plan only services in a network. For materials planning I can visualize planned values normally. The network is not released. On example of planning values report that I am using is s_alr_87013533.
    Does anyone know how to correct this problem with PS configuration?
    Any help is welcome. Thanks!
    Rafael

    for planning services I am assuming that you are using service activity
    check if determine plan cost is set up in the network header
    secondly make sure that the plan costing variant is set up with the valuation variant  to define where to get the plan values from

  • Rem order plan value exist for  difference between  PO & GR value

    Dear Experts ,
    In PS  report S_ALR_87013558  it is found that  the difference between Service PO & GR value is reflecting in Rem. Order plan.
    against the WBS.
    According to my understanding the difference between Material PO value & GR value reflects as outstanding commitment. Hence I assume that the same should happen in case of Service procurement also.
    Kindly let me know whether the reporting is correct or not.
    If the reporting is incorrect, then what could be the reason for the same and how this problem can be tackled.

    Hi
    Check if you have ticked remaining order plan value updation under costing in customization (both check boxes). If those are checked your plan value becomes assigned values always and if there is any residue it will be there under plan value.
    Also note that for service PO, once all entry sheets are posted, for final entry sheet user should click FINAL ENTRY in SES. It will remove any residual commitment.

  • Sales Order form error  "Not able to retrieve Display values for Service"

    Hi,
    Few of our orders flash the below error message when the order is queried
    "Not able to retrieve Display values for Service"
    Below are the points I observed
    1.The orders I am referring to are imported order via EDI interface.
    2.The service reference type code has value of ORDER, however no other service related fields (like service reference line id) have any values.
    3. The item is not a service item (service tab in Item setup is disabled)
    4. Same item when imported with value of "Customer Ordered" in "service reference type code" field, does not throw an error.
    5. If I update "service reference type code" with value null or change it to CUSTOMER_PRODUCT, the error disappears.
    Can someone explain the significance of this column value and what could have been causing this error message?
    May be there are some dependent fields/setups which must have a value when service reference type code =ORDER.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Remaining Order Plan.....No SAP Notes Please....

    Hi Everyone,
        I want someone who really understands Remaining Order Plan to validate if my understanding of it is correct or not. If it is not correct, I would like someone to explain it. I am not finding satisfactory answers from any SAP PS consultant yet, on Remaining Order Plan. Whenever, I ask this question, they say, they will get back with the answer and the next thing you know is that they have disappeared into Aladdin's Magic Lamp.
        I understand that,
        Assigned = Actual Costs + Commitment + Remaining Order Plan.
        I believe that Remaining Order Plan, basically is the value, that is deduced when we assign activities to WBS elements, and arrive at a certain figure called Planned Costs. At this point, All WBS elements have the status CRTD, .i.e., created.
         So at this stage (CRTD Status), I believe that, Assigned = Planned Costs, or we can also say that,
                                                                            Rem Ord Plan = Planned Costs.
         Now, Once we have released the WBS Elements, Actual Costs are going to be incurred, and we are gonna have additional commitments, apart from planned commitments, (realizing that we missed some commitments we had to assign while creating the plan during CRTD Status).
          So, Now during (REL Status), i.e., Released Status, the formula for Assigned would look like this.
           Assigned = Actual Costs + Commitments + Remaining Ord Plan.
      Now, Referring to the  Assigned Formula, in both the CRTD and REL status, lets analyze how Remaining Order Plan behaves.
         In the Released Status, if Actual Costs = 0 &
                                              Commitment =  0 &
                                              then,
                                              Assigned = 0 + 0 + RemOrdPlan.
                                      ==>  RemOrdPlan = Plan Costs
                                   Hence, Assigned = Planned Costs.
           As real costs are incurred (i.e., Actual & Commitments), values move from RemOrdPlan to Actual & Commitments Columns, or say they are apportioned appropriately to these two columns, and what is still remaining of the Planned Costs we would term that Remaining Order Plan.
            Suppose, Actual + Commitment  = Planned Costs, at some stage in the project, It means, we havae reached the threshold value of the Planned Costs, and the combination of both Actual + Commitment, can cross the planned costs. ( not in all cases, but maybe in some cases, as no one can plan a project ideally anyhow ).
            Once the threshold value of Planned Costs has reached, it would mean that RemOrdPlan is completely apportioned appropriately to both Actual and Commitment Columns. Hence, the Assigned column would look like this...
            Assigned = Actual ( % of Rem Ord Plan) + Commitment ( Remaining % of Rem Ord Plan ) + 0.
            Here, 0 means, zero value in Remaining Order Plan, as it has distributed its values to Actual and Commitment in a certain percentage depending on how the project was executed.
    Now, During one of the projects, I have noticed that,
    if Planned costs was 100,000 during CRTD stage, they were distributed, in a certain percentage like say,
                10 % to Actual & 25% to Commitment. Hence, 65 % is still left with RemOrdPlan Column.
               Hence , Assigned = 100%,
                The problem is that, When you see, the System status, it shows, ISBD, Insufficient Budgeting, even if there is the same 65% amount available in the RemOrdPlan column. My argument, is that, when RemOrdPlan is something still consumable, how can the system show insufficient budgeting, ISBD status, when there is still 65% in Rem Ord Plan, and that same amount available in WBS element, (via budgeting transactions).
                  Moreover, the Available Column should show the same amount as RemOrdPlan, that is 65% of the amount, but it does not. Because, in reality, RemOrdPlan is what is available, and still left to be consumed, until it becomes zero. I think, this concept is confusing all the project engineers who are SAP PS, users.
                     Please, can anyone throw more light on the above arguments.
    Regards,
    Owais.....

    Dear Owais,
    Let me try to explain my understanding about availability control and residual order plan =) hope it'll help
    The problem is that, When you see, the System status, it shows, ISBD, Insufficient Budgeting, even if there is the same 65% amount available in the RemOrdPlan column. My argument, is that, when RemOrdPlan is something still consumable, how can the system show insufficient budgeting, ISBD status, when there is still 65% in Rem Ord Plan, and that same amount available in WBS element, (via budgeting transactions).
    Status ISBD is set for any activity which is relevant for availability control which increase the assigned value not actual value.
    If you include the activity group 02 (Orders for project) in your availability control setting then any increase you make in order plan value will trigger the availability control ergo it will set the ISBD status if the value exceeds the tolerance limit even it's still a plan value, not an actual value yet
    Moreover, the Available Column should show the same amount as RemOrdPlan, that is 65% of the amount, but it does not. Because, in reality, RemOrdPlan is what is available, and still left to be consumed, until it becomes zero. I think, this concept is confusing all the project engineers who are SAP PS, users.
    IMO, if the system shows the 65% of the amount in Available column, user will assume that that amount is free to use while in fact the value is already 'reserved' only for material/activity which has been planned, user can't post any cost outside what has been planned
    Please correct me if I'm wrong =)

  • Does FrameMaker 12 have an LEID value for use with serialization via AAMEE?

    Does FrameMaker 12 have an LEID value for use with serialization via AAMEE?

    I wish life was that easy :-).
    You have a valid argument; So I had this kind of test going. I had 50,000 messages of
    type-1 first loaded into the queue. Then I had 100 messages of type-2 loaded on to the
    queue.
    At this point, I issued a conditional dequeue that skipped type-1 messages and only
    asked for type-2 messages. I saw the full table scan.
    Then I created another test case 1 million type-1 messages had to be skipped.
    Still full table scans. I am not convinced that the doing full table scans is the best query
    plan out there. Cost Based Optimizer tends to disagree for some reason. May be
    it is right; But I have to avoid FTS when possible. As you know, not only blocks
    used by the existing rows in the table get scanned, but also every block until the
    high water mark level.
    One might say for a table with volatile data that comes and goes on a daily basis, million is an extreme case. Howvere, I am building a general purpose infrastructure based
    on AQ and cannot rule out consumers who misbehave.
    Are there better ways to handle multiple types of consumers on a single physical queue ? I need to be able dequeue specific consumer types if necessary, and this has to be
    done in a performant manner.
    Other alternatives I can think are
    1. Using a multi consumer queue such that there is one subscriber for each message
    type. Use multiple agent sets in a listen method to listen to messages and then
    control what agents we pass into listen method.
    Any pattern suggestions welcome.
    Thanks

  • Does apple provide payment plan options for service work?

    Hi,

    I have been quoted quite a large amount for the fix. I am wondering if Apple provide payment plan options for services?
    This is my work computer so I need it serviced ASAP but cannot afford the quoted amount!
    Thanks crew

    Apple does not have financing programs for service work, only for new purchases. An independent authorized service center might, but it's unlikely. You can contact service centers in your area and ask, though. Service centers can be located through this page:
    https://locate.apple.com/country
    Or you can look into financing a new Mac, as seventy-one suggested.

  • Price Change in Framework Order for services, with Invoicing Plan

    Hi All,
    I create a F.O for a single item with Acct assignment"K" and Item Cat"D". The FO has two service masters with a common cost centre, with different tax codes. E.g.One with N2(19%) and the other with V0(0%). This FO is created with a periodic Invoicing plan.
    When I run MRIS for the first month, the invoice is posted with the correct values.For the second month when I change the prices randomly for the services at the service level, the invoice is posted with wrong values.
    But when I change the prices proportionately,e.g. for Serv1. from 100 to 200,300,400.. and for Serv.2. from 10 to 20,30,40.. respectively, the Invoices are calculated correctly.
    Could you please reply the reason for such a system behaviour and also the possible solution or the OSS notes for this issue. I am working in version 4.7.
    Thanks,
    Suresh Natarajan.

    Hi Steve,
    1) The invoice is calculated at a random value and I couldn't make out the proportions.
    2) Yes, the invoicing plan is Periodic with the Invoicing date as the last day of the month.The order is valid for 2 years(01.01.2007 TO 31.12.2009) and therefore in the invoicing plan of the PO, there will be invoices till 31.12.2009 with the Invoice Block. At the end of everymonth, the block will be removed for processing the Invoice(MRIS).During this time, if there is any change in the prices, we can change it and remove the Invoice Block and save the PO. Here when we change the prices randomly and execute the MRIS, it is throwing wrong values(i.e.the tax calculated is wrong)
    Thanks,
    Suresh.

    Are you really sure that your IT_SCH has the same fields like POITEM?
    the delivery date and statistical delivery date are located in the schedule tab in ME23N and stored in the schedule table EKET, not in EKPO where the PO item data is stored.
