Restriction to only cost element based  planning against WBS

HI Expert,
here we need a scenario, like...user can only do cost element based planning against WBS.
He should not be allowed to enter any manula cost directly against WBS.
How to address  this issue.
thanx in adv.
regards
Ashis

Hi,
  Go to CJR2 t-code select the layout 1-702 and enter the wbs, cost element, periods, year and version and execute the transaction. Then enter the values and save.
Remove the autorization for CJ40.

  • COST Element Based Planning

    Hello All,
    We are trying to plan cost of WBS Element based on cost elements.
    what we are trying to do -
    > CJ40, we want to plan on cost element level so on clicking the button "primary costs" (or via the menu: "Extras -> detailed planning -> Primary costs") we end up in an error message saying -
    Group INT-2 does not contain any entries
    Message no. K8004
    Diagnosis
    Group INT-2 does not contain any single values. You cannot use it in planning.
    System Response
    The SAP System rejects the planning layout and your entry.
    Procedure
    Use either a different group or enter values for group INT-2.
    CONFIGURATION for Planning Profile (T Code - OPSB) for the planning profile used in WBS Element Primary cost element group assigned is INT-2.
    Question2
    - Does cost element planning influenced by the cost element group assigned in the planning profile.
    - How to solve this error.
    Points assured.
    Warm Regards,
    Jatinder Bansal

    this is because in planning profile (Txn OPSB) you have INT-2 as cost element group and there are no cost elements assigned as pointed out by Venkat
    use transaction CJR2 instead of CJ40 and then plan for any cost element group or cost element that you already have

  • Key figures in cost element based report

    Dear All,
      I have created a Cost Element based Report for the Project using report painter. In this same report, I want to pull a key figure(the key figure is 'remaining forecast planned costs") which is coming from cost forecasting report (Report 12CTC1 from transaction CJE0).
      The issue is this 'key figure' is not available for report made in report group 6P3(report group for cost element based report). Is there anyway I can pull this particular key figure in my report.
      Thanks in advance !
    Regards,
    Mahendra Dighe

    Also if you're using HR data, the employee data is time dependent, so that for each employee number there are any number of records. This may be causing the aggregate reporting condition that you mentioned. In BW it's important to recognize that the master data also can play a role in how many records are returned. The infoprovider is not the only source of additional records. For example:
    Employee has three records in the time range.
    Salary infoprovider has only one.
    Results will contain THREE records, one for each employee record, all with the same salary record. On an aggregate basis, the salary results will be multiplied by three.
    Time dependent master data can be a source of much confusion. For some HR reporting, I have created a 'most current' employee master data record that is not time dependent, and is loaded daily. I then use that for data models such as salary or other separate infoproviders.

  • Restrict Creation of Cost Elements

    Hi All,
    I have a situation in which I have to restrict creation of Cost Elements for some of my P&L GL accounts. Is there any way I can restrict them. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    MKR

    Hi MKR,
    I would recommend not to have any validations for this.. This is the heart of the whole system and needs to be maintained in a very disciplined way
    If you put hard stops for such things, people will never understand the relevance of things and slowly the mind set evolves like "Unless the system gives a hard stop, any thing and every thing can be done"...  So, they go on creating nuisance in the system till the system stops them
    Moreover, there is no logic by which you can control this even if you try for an ABAP check... If you do still, it will propose probs in future...
    Provide the authorization for creating/changing cost elements to one single person who understands the system well and have a central control...
    Regards

  • Cost Center & Cost Element Excel Planning Profile Error - KP06

    Hi,
    I have created a layout for cost center/cost element planning.after that i have created planner profile.but while saving the generic file,i am getting the below error and not able to save that.Kindly advice me.
    A later upload is not possible with this layout
    Message no. K9363
    Diagnosis
    The layout cannot be used for an upload. This can be caused by one of the following situations:
    The layout does not contain a data field that is ready for input.
    The layout has a lead column that only contains the text for the characteristic value and not the characteristic value itself
    The layout contains formulas
    The layout has a complex lead column and contains empty lines.
    System response
    If generic file names have already been created (that is, an upload is intended), the file description cannot be saved.
    Procedure
    If you want to use the layout for an upload, configure it accordingly.
    If one of the last three situations is the case, the layout can only be used for manual planning and not for an upload. In this case, remove the generic file name.
    Thanks

  • Delete Cost Element after Plan data posted

    A user created Cost Elements in error and posted fiscal 2010 Plan data, however the business users wish to track these particular accounts by profit center, not by cost center.  We'd like to delete the cost elements so users will not be prompted for cost center when posting to these accounts.
    But even after reversing the plan data, we are not permitted to delete these cost elements with KA04, - hard error cites records existing in Table COSP.
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Yes, you can't shorten the validity to exclude the posting data from the system, even though you made the balance zero by posting off-setting entries to that particular cost element.
    Yes, shortening the validity works the same way as deletion.
    Hope this helps.

  • Read Cost Elements assigned to a WBS Element

    Hi,
    Can anyone please suggest a function module/logic to read the Cost elements assigned to a particular WBS/Project Def. in Project Systems module.
    In CJ40 transaction i enter project def. and in next screen select WBS element and click on primary costs button. Now i see a list of cost elements.I want to read thse cost element list. Output of BAPI_COSTELEM_GETLIST with the Cost element Group is not matching the transaction output. It is also returning the cost elements that are not relevant for planning which i dont want.
    Please let me know.

    Thanks but I have posted this message only after searching the forums. Few of the threads have suggested  into a few tables but i am not aware of the relation between them to pull those values as i am pretty new to the PS module.
    Appreciate any help.

  • Link between Cost element GL Account and WBS element.

    Hi,
    I want to get the List of all dollars sitting on the GL account  attached to the selected WBS element.
    For this, Any one please suggest me the table where i can get the link between the WBS element and GL account.
    or
    Table for link between the Cost element and GL account
    and Table for link between the Cost element and WBS element.
    Thanks,
    Suresh.

    Hi,
    1. There is no link between cost element and WBS
    2. Link between cost element and G/L account is one-to-one. This means, that if it's a primary cost element it has the same code as the G/L account. If it's a secondary element, no link exists.
    3. The table where you can see the postings on your WBS is COEP. There you will find the cost element, WBS, amounts, etc.

  • Planning on WBS elements without cost elements

    Hi all,
    we are trying to implement the planning solution where users will be able to plan on individual WBS elements monthly but without providing a breakdown on cost elements. Standard SAP planning profiles allow to post plan values on WBS elements in annual view without cost elements. But when you want a monthly view the system you need to click on primary cost elements planning first.
    Is there any way to plan monthly but at cost object (WBS) level only?
    Many thanks,
    Roman

    Hi Eli,
    thanks for your response. We will be using budget functionality for budget purposes but at the same time we will need to use planning on different versions. I believe there are no versions for budget.
    One of the idea to minimize cost element planning is to introduce like a planning cost element to use with all planning postings and then include this into the same cost element group with the rest of cost elements for plan/actuals comparison reports.
    If you have something in your mind I would appreciate your input.
    Thank you,
    Roman

  • Sales Pricing without Inquiry using detailed Cost element Planning

    Deal All,
    I need to use use Sales Pricing without Customer Inquiry to Genrate Quatation from Project.
    In my project client is asking to use deatiles cost element planning for same. So, let me know
    Weather its possible to use Detailed cost element planning for doing Sales pricing in DP82
    or Do we need to use ECP only to do Sales Pricing??
    Also, let me know if there will be any change in RA method also.
    regards,
    Atul

    Hi Atul,
    You can use any of the cost planning method (i.e Details cost element planning, ECP or Network Costing) to create Quotation using DIP Profile.
    Coming to the second point..any effect on RA calculation..This Quotation creation process is no where effects RA calculation.
    basically for creating Quotation usign DIP Profile, there should be cost element wise planned cost required.
    Hope this clears you...
    regards,
    Hari.

  • Overall Cost Planing on COst Elements

    Hi All,
    Customer's requirement is to plan cost on cost element level (in CJR2 or CJ40) on overall basis. They donot want to plan it on period basis. They want to check variance for a project overall but on cost element basis.
    If I check Total Values in planning profile I donot get Cost elements.
    Can somebody suggest please if this is possible without development.
    thanks you.
    regards
    maneesh

    Hi,
    In your case, you can do either Unit costing/Easy cost planning as both are cost element based.
    Unit costing is useful, where in you can enter the qty of materials (internal, external).
    Easy cost planning is used for preliminary planning.It is possible only in CJ20N
    In both the cases, you should have profiles.

  • Display of secondary cost elements in KSB1

    Hi
    One of our customers wants to delete the view of Secondary Costs to a particular cost center in Actual View of Cost Line Items (through T Code KSB1). The costs flow to the secondary cost elements based on the activity type carried out. The system is calculating the total cost and then deducting the secondary costs again from the total cost as a result of which the overall costs are in the negative. The customer wants to display the total costs only and not the flow to the secondary cost elements, even, though the data is posted for the current fiscal year for the said cost elements.
    Some transaction data already exists for the secondary cost element. We tried to changed the settings in allocation cost settings to Allocation Type 4, Manual Entry, no allocation for a future date, but still the costs are flowing to the cost element. Pls suggest a way out.
    Would assign points if the problem is sorted.

  • Statistical cost element (Value type 11) line item entry in CJI3

    Dear all
    I am doing WBS settlement to AUC thr CJ88. Suppose actual cost on WBS is 100 rs.
    CJI3 report shows the balance to be settled to AUC. Now It is showing 100 rs balance. I carry out WBS settlement to AUC.
    Even though settlement has taken place to AUC, CJI3 is showing line item entry of 100 rs (Statistical cost element with value type 11).
    This also affects our reporting as in report S_ALR_87013558, because of statistical cost element line item entry, WBS actual cost is showing as (100+100 st'cal)
    Also, I read in sap note 666152 that we can define transaction type as not releavent for account assignment. But i dont see this kind of setting anywhere in transaction type.
    Can we restrict the statistical cost element to not take part in CJI3 (CO reporting)?  How we can avoid statistical CO postings.
    Pls suggest
    Madhusudan Patil

    Hello,
    Statistical postings could be generated, if
    (a) you have 2 co-objects, e.g. cost center and internal order. There is a default rule in the system, that in this case the internal order will be posted real and the cost center statistical
    (b) you have 2 co-objects and one is marked as statistical in the master data. Actual Postings only to statistical co-objects are not possible. You can not settle statistical values, they will stay at the object.
    Please check OSS-message 106968. It explains everything in detail.
    You can modify your report, that it will show only real postings (value type 04), but I wouldn't do it. For me it sounds that you have to check your value flows in general. They look inconsistent, if you do not expect statistical postings.
    Kind regards
