Seach help of WBS element in CAT2

Hi All
Is there any way to change the seach help of Receiver WBS element in the CAT2 worklist . I need to get only the WBS elements which are assigned to the relevant person. (standard progam is displaying all the WBS elements)
Thanks.

Hi Pradeep,
This is purely technical.
Take the help of an abaper.
Maintain a Ztable with Personnel Number and the WBS Elements.
Now a Search help has to be created for the fields in the Ztable. Im not sure if u need to use a checktable also to validate.
Use this search help in the table CATSD for the field RPROJ (WBS).
Im not completely sure if this will work out. But i have tried it for other fields in some infotype.
This can be done only by an abaper. You can take the help of an abaper and get it done.
Regards,
Brinda L

Adding f4 help to wbs element field in account assignment tab of me21n

My requirment is to create f4 help for wbs element field in account assignment tab of me21n,
I have to pick wbs elements according to plant and storage location assigned in item overview of purchase order.
for that i have created a ztable. and use it in f4 code, or help me if any other suggestion u have.
thanks,
Amol.

Try to use screen-exit for assigning the serach help. There is one screen exit for PO ..
Check the enhancement - MM06E005 ,
Create project in cmod and use this enhancement.
use the PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST event and use FM 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
hope this will resolve the issue.

Search help for WBS element on timesheet

Hi,
We are using EA-HR 6.00 (webdynpro)
Is it possible to change the search help for the WBS Element field that appears on the Record Working Time timesheet?
There appears to be a table called TCATS_SHLP_ITS, but is this not for the old ITS version and not the new webdynpro version?
The client would like to use a different search help when they choose the dropdown on the timesheet but I can't seem to figure out if this is possible.
Thanks.

I guess I'll retract my question, as making change to table TCATS_SHLP_ITS is making a difference on my WBS element dropdown... just need to get it to work properly now.

Problem in WBS element search(F4 help)

Hi,
I am facing one problem when I am creating Shopping Cart. when attempting to choose a account assignment, chose WBS Element and then clicked on binocular to search for a WBS #. New screen appears as expected, clicked Start to begin search and screen went back to shopping cart screen without performing search.
I am unable to understand Why this is happening.
Is there any custom module to handle the F4 help for WBS element.Please suggest me the way to fix this.
Regards
Kiran

Hi Saikiran,
RFCUSER is used to perform this search.
You have to swith the user in dialog mode.
Also make sure :
- you have enter the backend destination at the very end of "define backend system" customizing point.
- you have activated the search authorization in PFCG(please refer to posts already answered in this forum)
Kind regards,
Yann

Serial Number&WBS Element

Hi experts,
1-) I can not deliver sales orders because it requires serial numbers.
Can anybody tell me how to cancel asking serial numbers?
2-)If it is not available how can I create serial numbers?
I created serial numbers by trcode IQ01 but again I can not deliver sales order.
3-)At "create material serial number " screen it requires a WBS element.
What is WBS element?
And what is the role of it?
Thanks&Regards

Hi refer below ,Reward if helps you
WBS element
1) What is WBS element?
2) What is the Tcode to get to that screen?
3) What is the need and purpose of WBS element?
4) Do we happen to work on Functional module during our implementation project?
5) In what scenario/situation we will be working on WBS?
WBS is nothing but Work Breakdown Structure. It is mainly used in Project System (PS) module. Tcode : CJ20N
For any project defined we must have at least one WBS. Within this WBS we can have networks. Networks are nothing but the series of activities. Material are used to perform the activities.
To explain in detail just consider one example:
Govt of India wants to have Roads to be build through out the India. So Project can be defined in sap as "Connectivity".
WBS can be roads within different states like Roads for Gujarat, Karnataka etc.. i.e. WBS Gujarat, WBS Karnataka etc.
We can define different networks for these WBS like Road Between Ahmedabad to Surat or Between Bangalore to Belgham.
For this network we can have many activities like Land selection, Land Preparation, Road Building, Final finishing etc etc.
Hemal's example was a good example. Project Systems comes into play only when the industry's business is based on projects like... Construction companies, Engineer to Order scenarios. You may not see anyone using PS module for retail business. As Hemal explained in that example, you have a main project which is broken down into WBS elements. You can use the TC CJ20N to create the project and the WBS elements. Each WBS may have mutiple Networks associated and each Network may have multiple Network Activities as explained in the example by Hemal.
On the Sales Order, if your client is implementing PS module, you may have to attach the Sales Order to the WBS element it belongs to. WBS element is nothing but a bucket where all the activities belonging to that particular part of the project are captured. In the example, WBS Gujurat will tell you how many Sales Orders were created for the Gujurat sector, how much was spent on raw materials, what's the currect stock (reject stock) available. How many Production Orders have been confirmed and how many of them are getting confirmed in the future. How many invoices have been generated or how much revenue has been generated for that particular sector. How many deliveries have been made, what deliverables are still not accomplished.
So as you can see, PS is the center stage for all the modules that are being implemented like FI/CO, SD, MM, PP in this example. You can have cost centers and work centers defined. You can also have profit centers assigned at the plant level and get reports on various selection criteria.
In a complete cycle of PS, like in reality, you initiate a project, you confirm/release the WBS/activities as per requirement, you execute the project and you close it.
One cannot initiate an activity unless it has been released by the project manager. Everything is accountable here and every dime is counted and at the end you know how much did you spend or make on each sector (WBS). Dont get confused with the term sector here... I am using it just for the explanation purposes.
In one typical example, the company I was working with until not too long ago, had Deliveries from the Project (TC: CNS0). We never used VL01N. We used CNS0 to create a delivery and then used VL02N for confirming the picking quantity for the already created delivery document.
I hope this should help you at least a bit. I'm not a PS consultant so I may not know a whole lot but trying going to CJ20N and you will see a lot yourself.
PS consultants are one of the highest paid consultants. Their supply is less and so is the demand. They are expected to understand real world business processes very well and they are generally the center stage of a project.
Serial Number Management :
Serial Number Profile
Working With Serial Numbers
Serial Number Master Record
Creating Master Records for Serial Numbers
Serialization Data in the Piece of Equipment
Maintenance of Configuration Data
Serial Number Profile:
Definition
A group of data, summarized by a four-digit identification code, that defines the conditions and business procedures involved when assigning serial numbers to items of material.
You enter the serial number profile in the master record at plant level for the material whose individual pieces are to be managed using material numbers. This means that an individual serial number profile can be assigned to a piece of material per plant. In this way a certain material can require serial numbers at one plant, and not at others.
Structure
The serial number profile contains the following information:
 The business procedures for which serialization
Can be performed
Must be performed
Is performed automatically
Is not performed
 Information on whether for a particular business procedure
Serial numbers can be assigned, for which a master record does not yet exist in the system
Serial numbers that already exist in the system as a master record must be specified
 Information on whether for a particular business procedure, a stock check should take place, and how the system should react in the event of inconsistencies
The business procedures for which an equipment master record should or should not additionally be created for each serial number
The equipment category that the system uses when assigning serial numbers automatically in the case of equipment master records.
Working With Serial Numbers:
Purpose
You use serial numbers to identify items of material, which enables you to distinguish between the individual pieces.
Process Flow
 You create a serial number profile in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service.
 You create a material master record and enter a serial number profile.
 You create a batch master record for the material if it is to be managed in batches.
 You can create serial number master records in advance if you want to have a pool of serial numbers. From a technical perspective, an "incomplete" equipment master record is created for this.
 You can create configuration data for serial number master records.
 You assign serial numbers to the material when business procedures take place (for example, a goods receipt):
 Either you assign manually serial number master records that you created in advance, or
 The system assigns automatically new serial numbers and creates new serial number master records for this
Serial Numbers in Sales and Distribution :
Use
It is possible to assign serial numbers in sales orders, inquiries and quotations, as well as for deliveries and returns deliveries. This makes it possible to track individual objects when goods movements take place (for example, sale of goods to a customer).
Integration
In order to use the serialization functionality in sales orders, inquiries, and quotations, you must have implemented the Sales component, and to use the serialization functionality for deliveries, you need the Distribution component.
Prerequisites
A serial number profile with the following procedures must be entered in the material master record:
Profile Maintenance for Deliveries
 Procedure SDCC checks the serial number on goods issue. The serial number usage for it should be 03 = must.
 Procedure SDLS defines that the serial number should be created on delivery. The serial number usage for it should be 02 = can.
 Procedure SDAU defines that the serial number should be created in the SD order for items that are delivered. The serial number usage for it should be 02 = can.
 In this way, it is ensured that the serial number is assigned at the latest when the goods issue is delivered.
SDAU This procedure makes possible the use of serial numbers in sales orders, inquiries and quotations
SDLS This procedure makes possible the assignment of serial numbers for deliveries.
SDCC This procedure makes possible the assignment of serial numbers when performing completeness checks for deliveries.
SDRE This operation makes possible the assignment of serial numbers for returns deliveries.
SDCR This procedure makes possible the assignment of serial numbers when performing completeness checks for returns deliveries.
Serial Number Master Record:
Definition
Data record that contains information for serial number management. The serial number is given to an item of material in addition to the material number, in order to differentiate that individual item from all other pieces of this material. The combination of material and serial number is unique.
Structure
The following information is contained in the serial number master record:
 Status information
You can establish here, which system and user statuses are valid for the master record. If necessary, you can set or delete the user status, display the authorized business procedures and set particular system statuses.
 Stock information
You can see here in which plant and warehouse the item of material is located, or to which batch it belongs. You can also see what type of stock and special stock is involved. The stock information is recorded automatically when goods movements are performed, and cannot be changed manually.
 Partner Data
Here, for example, you can use freely definable partner functions and partners to specify in Customizing which companies are responsible for the maintenance of the serialized material.
Configuration data
Here, you can configure a item of material according to its characteristics or make reference to a configured object.
Example of Serial Numbers
Company X manufactures solar collectors (panels). They produce three different types:
 Type A
 Type B
 Type C
A material master record exists in Company Xs system for each type. For quality control reasons the company wants to know for each solar collector delivery which customer has received which type of solar collector, and which serial number(s) of the collector type was/were delivered to the customer.
For this purpose, each solar collector that is produced is assigned a serial number that, together with the material number, uniquely defines it.
In addition, company X wants to maintain and repair particular solar collectors that it sells directly to individual customers. For this reason, an equipment history is to be maintained for the collectors. Company X is able to do this by creating equipment master records for these serialized solar collectors.
History
Use
 You can use the history of the serial number master record to ascertain which procedures have affected the serial number. You can find all documents that have been created for the serial number here:
 Production and refurbishment order
 Maintenance and service notification
 Maintenance and service order
 Sales order
 Delivery
 Inspection lot
 Goods document
 Maintenance plan
 Maintenance contract
Status Management
Use
Serial number processing is linked to status management. There are two different types of status:
 System status
System statuses are set when you execute a particular function for the serial number. For example, you post a goods receipt in the warehouse and set the status In warehouse by doing this.
User status
User statuses enable you to further delimit functions allowed for a serial number on the basis of a system status. You can assign and delete user statuses yourself if you have the authorization to do this.
Copying the Partner into the Serial Number :-
Use
Within the framework of a delivery, partner data is automatically transferred from the delivery note into the master record of the serial number when goods issues are posted.
Prerequisites
You have set the indicator Copy Partner in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service under Plant Maintenance and Customer Service ® Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service ® Basic Settings ® Partner Data ® Copy Partner Functions to Master and Transaction Data.
 Furthermore, you have assigned the partner determination procedure and the corresponding functions to the equipment category under Technical Objects ® Equipment ® Assign Equipment to Partner Determination Procedure.
Features
 The system copies the partner data from the delivery note into the serial number master record.
 If partner data has already been specified in the serial number master record, this data is overwritten with the data from the delivery note. However, the system only overwrites partner data for which the indicator has been set in Customizing.
Creating Master Records for Serial Numbers:
Use
You are able to create directly master records for serial numbers during the assignment of serial numbers for various business procedures, if the serial number profile allows this.
In addition, you can create master records for serial numbers in advance. This would make sense if you want to have a particular quantity of numbers in the system, that you can assign during a business procedure. in particular, this is the case when you are using serial number profiles that require serial numbers to already exist for certain business procedures.
Activities
You have two options for creating serial number master records for a material in advance:
 You create an individual serial number for a piece of material.
You use this option, for example, if in make-to-order production you manufacture one item per day.
 You create several serial numbers simultaneously for a piece of material.
You use this option, for example, if in repetitive manufacturing you manufacture several items per day.
You can also create serial number master records if no serial number profile is entered in the material master record. However, use in business procedures is only possible if the serial number profile has been entered in the material master record.
Working with Serial Numbers in Deliveries:
Maintaining Master Data for Serial Numbers in Shipping
Assigning Serial Numbers in Deliveries
Deleting Serial Numbers from Deliveries
Creating Equipment in Deliveries
Some points of interest with serial numbers:-
-You can assign a unique serial number to each material. This allows you to monitor goods movement for individual materials, for example, when selling materials to a customer. Using serial numbers you can also manage the maintenance of individual materials more easily in the system. You must first create equipment master records, however, for these materials.
-To use serial numbers, enter serial number profiles in the master record for the relevant materials.
-Serial numbers are usually specified in the delivery item. However, you can also define them in the order.
-You can also have the serial numbers assigned automatically by the system.
-You must specify all serial numbers, at the latest, before posting goods issue.

WBS element field in transaction CS71-F4 help is not working in ECC 6.0

Hii
In SAP, while working in SAP 4.7, tcode cs71, WBS element is coming via F4 Help. But after upgradation to ECC 6.0 EHP 5, this F4 help is not working. I can enter value manually.but F4 help is not working.
Please Help.

Hi,
You can do it manually too
1. Choose function group 'CSDI' via Transaction SE80.
2. Choose screen '0260'in the 'Screens' area and switch to change mode
3. Choose the 'Element list' tab index.
4. In this area, choose the 'Reference' tab index and enter the value
    'PRP' in the 'Search help' column in the line for field
    'RC29N-PSPNR'.
5. Save your change and regenerate the screen.
6. The correct input help for the WBS element is now available in the
    initial screen of Transaction CS71/72/73.
I hope F4 helps works for "Existing WBS BOM's" in CS71 after this
Refer to Note : 714824 as well , it has reverted back the changes done by note : 422265

Input help for cost center & WBS element not working

Hi ALL
We are using SRM 4.0 with backend ECC 5.0.
Input help for attributes cost center (CNT), WBS element (PRO) are not functioning.
When tried to search for input help (F4) on the above attributes, I am getting message "Display not possible (Inconsistency in the input help)".
I even applied SAP note 746788 for cost center search help.
Can you tell me if I have missed any config settings?
Thanks in advance

Search help for user field for WBS element

Hi,
how can I add a search help to one of the user fields for WBS elements without modification? Is there an exit which I can use? I want to have a search help for field PRPS-USR02.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Create an elementary serach help using the Table USR01 or USR03
see the steps
1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.
CREATION:
Go to SE11 Tcode
select search help
give the 'z' search help name and create
select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
dialog module 'display value immediately'.
add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.
where left position when displaying and spos = search position
and then save and activate ..

TECO Status on WBS Element

Dear Experts,
We have set the status to TECO for a WBS Element.
But it is allowing CAT2 Entry for the Activity Attached to the WBS Element.
I would like to know if there is a Status to Block costs , but not Revenues
Regards,
Shareeq
Edited by: K M AHAMED SHAREEQ HUSSAIN on Jan 26, 2010 12:55 PM

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem also with my WBS Element's status... maybe you can help me...
We have some cost orders related to some WBS Elemetns. We want to be able to close first the WBS Element, and leave the cost order available for new postings, only in the COST ORDER, and when necessary, close the cost order. But SAP does not allow to close a cost order if it's WBS element is close. It gives CJ656 message, but i can't make this message only as a warning.
Do you have any idea or clue about how to avoid this problem?¿?
Thanks a lot!!

Hello,
Thanks for you reply and i just want to know that.
If we assign the return order to the WBS element, the credit memo automatically has the WBS element assigned to it or do we have to manually assign the credit memo to a WBS element? if yes how?
