ROLES OWNERSHIP in Project Systems

We are implementing Project Systems (PS) 4.7 version. Though, most transactions are accounting based there are several project-related transaction codes (T-Codes) that are being utilized by other business areas such as Plant Maintenance, RD&E and other business areas project managers.
In order to have proper control over such T-Codes usage in conjunction with Roles, we need to <b>define ownership of such roles</b>. Though Finance Department may be willing to own these roles, I will appreciate if you could enlighten us with the (1) best practice (2) protocol as to who SHOULD OWN the ROLES? Plant Maintenance, FI/CO and MM are some of the modules already implemented. We also plan to implement cProject, cFolder, xRPM with virtually the same go-live date (3 months later). Please keep our SAP environment in mind when responding to this question. Very much appreciate your thought and response in advance.

Unable to delete role from a project

hi
i added a role to a project. i staffed it with a resource. Now when i try to remove this staffing.. i get the message
"Cannot delete project role staffing"
the help is as follows
Cannot delete project role staffing
Message no. DPR_BUPA_LINK020
Diagnosis
You are trying to delete a staffing. However, the resource of this staffing is entered as a responsible resource for at least one project element or is assigned to at least one task. The status of the assigned project element does not permit changes. This means that the links cannot be deleted and therefore, the actual staffing cannot be deleted either.
System Response
The system does not delete the project role staffing and issues appropriate messages.
Procedure
Reset the status of the assigned project element so that the changes can be made.
Make sure that the links are removed by authorized users or obtain the relevant authorization from your system administrator.
But i have added the role and staffed it afresh. i am also not able to delete any newly added roles.
Pls suggest!
Regards,
Sujata.

Logon is not possible because you have not been assigned to a business role; please contact your system administrator

Hi experts,
I'm having a problem when our project approaching the end.
If I assigned the business role in parameter CRM_UI_PROFILE and PFCG role in SU01.
It works fine,and the user can logon the web ui.
Now I created a new organization model and position,assigned the business role and user to the position.
A PFCG role was also assigned to the business role:
Then I removed all the roles and profiles in user master in SU01.
The user can not login CRM WEB UI and the system raised "Logon is not possible because you have not been assigned to a business role; please contact your system administrator".
Can anybody suggest what the problem is? Is there any other settings I should make?
I suppose that,since the user was assigned to the position the organizational model, the system can determine the user's business role, and through the business role, the corresponding PFCG role can also be determined.
Am I correct?
Thanks.
Jerry

Jerry, yes, you're right.
Let me point you to pretty good explanation right here: Logon is not possible because you have not been assigned to a business role; please contact your system administrator
So business role determination is taken in three steps (you can observe them in class CL_CRM_UI_PROFILE_DETERM method LOAD_PROFILES):
1. From user's parameter CRM_UI_PROFILE (method LOAD_FROM_USER_PARAMETER);
If CRM_UI_PROFILE = * then the user needs to have S_DEVELOP authorization object with OBJTYPE = 'DEBUG' (debug authorization).
2. If not found on previous step: From organizational management (method LOAD_FROM_ORG_MANAGEMENT)
3. If not found on previous steps: Based on PFCG roles (method LOAD_FROM_PFCG_ROLE);

Integration revenues and earnings in project system

Hi,
can anybody send me documentation about the integration between SD and PS?
thanks
my email is [email protected]

Hi David,
Project System(PS) works for any project e.g construction, operation or any large projects where project management tools are required. it integrates all modules may be like MM for vendor process or for RFQ etc or say may be SD for Resource related quotation with the help of DIP profile or Milestone process etc. IT is largely used in construction projects. IT helps in controlling the whole of project from one single screen and it works with 3 elements WBS element ( work break down structure), Network and Activity.
Please go throgh this Please check this links perhaps they may help.

PS - SD integration are on
1.Billing pan, at each WBS element, network and Activity level.
2. DIP profile which is assigend to item category. DIP for resource related quotation works only with ECP ( easy cost planning).
3.sales pricing - generally, there r 2 types of sales pricing in PS . lumpsum contract and unit rate contract.
4. BOS - bill of Services. which has to be activated. It is industry specific solution. If BOS is activated you also have integration for vendor RFQ and Analysis.
5. resource related Billing
The specified item was not found.

Following is the SD & PS integration scenarios where milestone billing & Periodic billing plays the implortant role for these integration:
Milestone billing is typically used for billing projects, such as plant engineering and
construction projects. Such projects often include a series of milestones that mark the
completion of different stages of the work. In the SAP R/3 System, milestones are defined
in a network along with planned and actual dates for the completion of work. The milestones
are also assigned to the billing dates in the billing plan. The connection between the project and the sales document item is made in the individual
schedule lines of the item. Each schedule item can be assigned to a network in a project.
PS-SD Integration as below :
A)Billing plan, at each WBS element, network and Activity level.
B)DIP profile which is assigend to item category. DIP for resource related quotation works only with ECP ( easy cost planning).
C)sales pricing - generally, there r 2 types of sales pricing in PS . lumpsum contract and unit rate contract.
D)BOS - bill of Services. which has to be activated. It is industry specific solution. If BOS is activated you also have integration for vendor RFQ and Analysis.

Interest Posting Periodic Allocation from Project System

Guys,
I am creating an automatic interest posting as part of the periodic allocations from the project system. We have new GL active and run parallel ledgers. The FI posting is into all ledgers, any idea how I can control posting to one ledger only?
Kind regards,
Rudolf

Hi Anantharam,
I tried defining an extract layout which assigned to the project type I am using and then creating an evaluation layout using the extract layout.
However, it didn't really work as expected. In my scenario actual costs originate in cProjects (when the task is completed and the actual number of hours are entered in the confirmation field). Actual costs are not captured in the internal order. In this case if I define an evaluation will it update the actual cost if I define threshold value formula as follows (for testing I made it actual = planned just to see if I get a value).
actual cost = confirmation * unit cost for task/role
If the above is possible;
1. How do I define the attribute and object types for unit cost for task/role which is based on the cost/revenue rates setup for the role? For example how do I find out the values for attribute and type name fields?
2. I was under the impression that evaluations can only generate a report based on the existing values and update the criticality level field a threshold condition is defined. Is my understanding of this function incorrect?
Apologies for all the questions, but I am still unclear how to update the actual cost which originates as result of cProject task confirmation to the internal order.
Thanks for your help so far and appreciate if you provide some guidance on how I can get this working.
Cheers,
Lashan

Problem with Project Systems authorizations

Hi All,
We are implementing project systems module and are facing several authorization issues. The SAP default values do not seem to work and there are several objects which showup as "not checked" in SU24 showup in the SU53. e.g. tcodes are CJ20n, CJI3. Are there any steps for activation / pre-requisites, etc?
Thanks for your inputs
Vijaya

Hi
There are chances that some of the transactions codes will call other tcodes while execution.
in this case also CJ20N is calling many tcodes, those auth check would not be inserted as check points in SU24 , hence you should identify them in the testing phase or using the TCDCOUPLES table.
You can check the calling & called transaction values in the table TCDCOUPLES in SE16, according to that you can build your SAP roles.

How to create the Custom project System as Web Project

Hi,
I have created a custom project system using this walkthrough. But
this walk through is targeting Visual C# project system. I need to create the Custom project system as Web project and set the start up page as index.html file. How can I achieve this?
Note:
I have got the Custom project system sample from VS2013 SDK samples(https://mpfproj12.codeplex.com/).
But it demonstrate the Custom console applications only.
- Abbas K

Hi,
So you didn't even follow this walkthrough yet? If you did, how did you do it?
I failed to create such a web project system because I finally messed up my VS experimental instance. But it's possible to create a custom web project system, by following this walkthrough. Someone else has successfully made it, check this
link.
The difference is that you have to use web project type instead of the console application project type. You could copy a web project's .csproj file into the VSPackage project and rename it to xxx.myproj. There's an error in the walkthrough that the AssemblyInfo.cs
file should be put into Properties folder and set the "Build Action" property to Content, "Include in VSIX" to true.

Hi,
to create quote from project system there is quite a bit of PS ( project system ) SD integration is required. i will try my best to deliver with whatever time i have right now.
1. t-code -CKCM - your will define easy cost planning here whihc will be your pricing factor in in sales order.
2. ODP1- you define DIP profile here you will also define your costing elements here. this DIP profile is attached to sales doc type. and on main menu you will find button that says quotation. click on that. this willd irectly take you to quote and from there u can take it forward.
I hope it helps u little. Though i know its not enough.

About reversal of Outbound delivery generated from Project system due to sale return

Hi SAP Expert ,
We have made delivery from project system using t.code CNS0 and billing document is generated with reference of sales order. Now Goods is return by customer due to some technical reason, We created return sales order with reference of billing document and Credit memo with reference of Return sales order.
What is T.code for making return delivery or reversal of Delivery /PGI generated from Project system in sap r/3 ?
Pls. suggest to me.
regards
VKM

Hello,
it depends whether in the billing document the material codes identifies the goods delivered and to be returned or not.
If it's so, you can create a Return Sales Order with reference to the billing document, create the return delivery, and then the credit memo.
If it's non so, you can create a Return Sales Order with reference to the billing document (but without copying the material items, and entering manually material code and quantity to be returned), then create the return delivery. Then you can create a Credit memo request with reference to the Billing Document or with reference to the Return Sales Order.
To create the return delivery, you can run VL01N with reference to the Return Sales Order (just like for outboud deliveries), or from VA02, following the menu path "Sales document --> Deliver".
Best regards,
Andrea

WBS Elements not getting created in ECC Project System from CRM 7.0

Dear all,
We are trying to integrate SAP CRM 7.0 with SAP ECC-PS module. The objective is to bring in the marketing plan and elements data from the CRM system, and to create the corresponding WBS in project system. We have done most of the configuration as recommended by SAP in both the systems, and we see that the BDOCS are getting generated and sent to the ECC system. The following steps have been successfully completed:
1.       Set up the RFC connections between the two systems
2.       Selected the connection type as Middleware in CRM system.
3.       Installed the cProject Add on in CRM box.
4.       Created a project scenario (with project and network profiles) in the PS system and assigned the same in the CRM system.
5.       The Project Scenario in PS config has the same name as the Project Type in CRM config.
6.       Created and released the campaign ids being created in the CRM system.
As already mentioned, we can see that the BDOCS are coming to the ECC system and are getting stored in BDOC_TRACK table. However the issue is that the corresponding WBS elements are not getting generated in the ECC system. Is there anything that that we are missing in the ECC box which would trigger the WBS element creation?
Request you all to share your inputs which would be immensely beneficial for us in achieving this integration.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Aditya Shrivastava

Hello Aditya,
We too are facing this issue.. if you have resolved the issue could you please let us know the solution ?
Some inputs related to our system,
We have upgrade from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0 SP07 and R/3 backend system is on 4.7 SP27, earlier we have completed the upgrade on sandbox without any issues which was upgrade to CRM 7.0 SP04 but with SP07 we are facing the problem of WBS Element not getting created in R/3.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Sub-contracting through Project system.

Hi
Can some one please help me in understanding how Project system (PS) is supporting sub-contracting scenarios.
I am looking for activity sub-contracting and also sub-contracting with Project stock materials.
I am aware of normal sub-contracting through production order and also sub-contracting through MM. I am specifically looking for sub-contracting in PS.
Thanks and warm regards,
Jagadeesh

Hi,
If requirements for subcontract items (or services) are generated automatically from PS just make sure that the right document category is used (subcontract) then any requisitions or planned orders etc. will have the right category.
There is no difference between PP, PS and PM effectively, they all use subcontracting in the same way it is just how the requirement is triggered that is slightly different.
If you need details on how to trigger the right type of requirement through PS then you may need to use one of teh financial forums that cover PS? (is there one?)

Integrate GRC 10.1 with CUA and how to import roles from CUA & Child systems into GRC for provisioning

Hello,
I am trying to integrate CUA into our GRC 10.1 system through the below steps and so far I have completed the below steps following SAP Notes 1680108 and 1616121:
1. Connected CUABOX to GRCBOX like a plug-in system.
2. Updated CUA Global System and CUA Model Distribution in Maintain CUA settings under User Provisioning.
3. Next I am trying to import the roles from CUA(CUABOX) into GRC(GRCBOX) to be able to provision roles in CUA Child Systems(ECCBOX).
After reading few discussions in SCN, I have figured that we have to download a template in Role Import and populate it accordingly to upload the CUA child system roles into GRC system for provisioning in CUA Child Systems.
Unfortunately, this template has multiple fields and I am unable to determine the fields that should be populated as CUA Global System and CUA Child System to import into GRC. Also, when we upload CUA Child System Roles template what selections should be made in Role Import window.
Any help in this regard is very helpful.
Thank you,
Pawan

Hi Alessandro,
I have "Create user if does not exist" setting checked for both change action and assign role action and also have CUA enabled. Here is the list of steps that I am performing:
1. Create an access request for new account, T-CUA_CHILD and select a role from a child system ECC Z_ECC_ROLE_IN_CHILD_SYSTEM.
2. Approvals provided to assign the ECC role.
3. I see the following in GRFNMW_DBGMONITOR_WD.
           Auto provisioning activity at end of request at Path GRAC_DEFAULT_PATH and Stage              GRAC_SECURITY
               New User:T-CUA_CHILD created in System(s): ECC (created without role assignments)
               T-CUA_CHILD User does not exist in target system CUA
GRC created an account without role assignment in ECC but also throwed me an error that the user does not exist in CUA.
However, if I select roles from both CUA and ECC it creates the account in both systems with the selected role assignments.
So I am wondering if there is way to provide CUA access to users by default for new account requests types. I have tried setting up default roles for CUA but it does not assign the roles by default until I select the CUA system.
Thank you for your help!
