Service Activity Creation Specific to Plants

Dear all,
We are creating new service activities in our organization, this new service activities are to be used only with a new Plant and new project,
my concern is can we restrict the service activities getting created to a specific plant?? we need that the new service activities to be made available to only one plant, ie.. service PO getting created for the new plant only can make use of this Service activities, rest of the Plant POs must be restricted using this Service activities in there PO,
it is just like creating Material master in the required plants only, can we do the same in case service activities as well??
any round about solution,
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
For your specific pricing-->1st enter field SRVPOS for Activity Number in the following path:
SPRO->MM-> Purchasing u2013 >Conditions ->Define Price Determination Process->Extend Field Catalog for Condition Tables
& then you can create CONDITION TABLE ( lets say 951) with condition keys "Plant / Vendor / Service Activity"
Now assign table 951 to access sequence for service .In t.code: M/06 -assign access sequence for service to condition type for service and in t.code: M/08 -MM pricing procedure procedure ,keep condition type for service ,then create condition record in t.code: MEK1 with combination Plant / Vendor / Service Activity. In this process, you can maintaion diferent price for different plant for single Service Activity( service master).

Service activity creation in SAP from MSP (Microsoft Project)

Dear All,
As we are planning to integrate SAP & MSP, I have one query regarding service activity creation in SAP from MSP.
In case of service activity in SAP we have to assign respective services also otherwise it does not get saved.So when we transfer service activity from MSP (after maintaining the respective control key in MSP ) how we will manage with all services because we can not define these service in MSP.
Apart from that we have some procurement parameters also like material group, purchasing org, price, outline agreement....we have nothing in MSP for these...so how we will manage with this.....
Please just share your valuable input to deal with this....Thanks..
Regards
Ashok Sangal

Hi Harsh
Thanks for your quick reply......
I agree with you that by flexible field mapping we can do but my concern is that service activity should have services also defined in MSP because when this will come to SAP , it will ask for services & if services are not available then this will fail.
Please suggest your opinion ..

Service activity creation & automatic cost element picking up

Dear All,
We are facing a peculiar problem while creating a service activity in Project creation - CJ20N (Project Builder).
1)     Created a project definition. ( say u2013 X200)
2)     Created parent WBS element.
3)     Created one Network.
4)     Assigned one service activity to the network.
5)     While assigning service master to the service activity, system is asking for a cost element. In other words, the cost element is not automatically picked up for the particular service master. Actually, while creating earlier project (say X100) & assigning service activity, system is correctly defaulting the Cost element.
6)     Here the service number which we are using is the same as used in the earlier project (X100). In X100, based on the valuation class in the service master & settings maintained in the transaction code OBYC, correct GL account is getting picked up.
7)     We can give the cost element manually. If we do this, system is giving another message u2013 u201CSystem could not determine a consumption account for service 2000000202u201D, though it is maintained for the valuation class in OBYC.
Why the cost element is not getting defaulted? Pl advice in this regard.
Thanks & regards,
Gov

Check out the Network profile & Plant of of both the project
Case 1 X100   May be getting defaulted from network profile
Case2 X 200   You might be using different network profile where you would have not maintained CE.

Service specifications screen for service activity becomes grey after PO

Hi All,
I would like your views/comments on the following issue:
I am creating a service activity PS04 , it takes me to the service specification screen,then I am using the single item to create the painting services. The PR is generated for the activity. Till PO is not created for this service activity I am able to add other services as required functionality.
The issue is that once i create the PO for the service activity PR line item, the whole screen of the service specifications becomes grey i.e not editable . can you give me the inputs why that so?
In the ideal scenario & the requirement is that, it should grey out for the service lines of the PR for the lines where PO is created not the whole screen.
please provide the suggestions / solution to this issue.
Thanks in advance
Ramu

Hi
Thanks Virendra for your effort in this replication in IDES. I checked the service activity & its settings which are correct and it is not the issue.
Do you have any idea of the configuration / user exit in case of PO is created it will not allow the change mode of the PR for service activty generated from projects.
Thanks in advance

PR creation from External / Service Activity

Hi all,
we are currently using External and Services activities.
The Service activity should generate a PR as soon as it's released whereas the External activity should never generate a PR.
I'm trying to link the "Reservation Relevance/Generation of Purchase Requisition" field with the "Control Key" :
Never create a PR <=> PS02
Create a PR from Release <=> PS04
Do you know if there is a way in Customizing do default the field depending on the Control Key? (I would like to avoid a validation rule...)
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Thibault

Hello,
If you never want ot generate the PR for external activity, then work is simple:
1) Change the control key PS02 in transaction OPSU and check the box "service".OR alternatively you can make new control key copying PS02 and abandon the use of original PS02 in your projects.
This will make sure that every time you are using PS02, it will always generate the service PR. Also in network profile settings(OPUU), maintain indicator "2" for Res/Pur Req.
Hope this solves your problem without using any validation !

Mahendra

Maintaining sub element Costs for the Service Activity

Dear Experts & MM Gurus,
Requirement is to maintain the Sub Cost Elements for the activity and to maintain different unit & Rate for the sub cost elements .
Scenario is explained below.
1. while making Purchase Requisition for Services
in Services Tab at item level i maintained Service Activity and for that activity i had maintained sub cost elements (Such as cost estimate for the activity) like labour cost,material & consumables cost,Transportation cost with the help of Pricing MS0000.
2. My Concern is i need to maintain different unit and rate for the sub cost elements ,but system is not allowing to maintain different unit from unit available with activity unit.How can i maintain different unit for the Sub cost (pricing elements like PRSO,PRS1,PRS2) .
EXAMPLE :1. Activity is Laying of Road where unit is AU and price will be combination of all Sub cost elements .
2. Sub Cost Elements like labour cost where unit is man days,system doesnt allow to maintain this unit.
pl comment /suggest on the above scenario.
Thanks in Advance ,
Regds,

Problem while assigning service activity to WBS

when i assign service activity to WBS element without filling any fields (like Purchase groupand Material group) it is going straight to Service Specifications.
if we fill the service specifications and save the project we can save the project with out any errors
i require entry of PurchaseGroup and Material Group is mandatory
and then system should go to Service specifications
Please advice

Hi,
Just check in Network profile, on Activity tab (TC: OPUU). You must have maintained required details like Material group, Purchasing group etc in Service activity section. Whenever you create a service activity these values get defaulted in activty. Let me know if it solves your problem.
Reward points if helpful.

MM Service Entry Sheet Release Problem - Plant Not Considered

Dear Experts,
I have a problem in Service Entry Sheet Release as it does not consider plant although it is maintained in Release Strategy.
I have created 1 Class for Service Entry Sheet Release.
This class contains 3 Characteristics, 1st for Plant, 2nd for Value of Services and 3rd for Purchasing Group.
Now the problem is that during the Entry Sheet Release, system does not consider the Plant in deciding the Release Strategy.
It considers the first Release Strategy found for Purchase Group and Value of Service combination, thus ignoring the Plant Characteristic.
Characteristic for Plant is having 'Released' Status
Please suggest what to do so that the Plant is also considered in Release Strategy.

Dear Charlie,
Thanks for your reply.
When I go to CL40N and check then system gives correct Release Strategy as it considers plant there.
But when actually the Entry Sheet is created/saved then system gives wrong release strategy as it does not consider Plant.
Let me tell you that my Release Strategies do contain common Purchase Groups but the Plants are different. So each Release Strategy is unique in this way.
But during Service Entry Sheet Creation system does not consider Plant in determining Release Strategy.
Please Help.

Help with Field Selection in Service Master Creation AC01

Hi,
I've assigned internal numbering assignment for Service Master. I've activated External number check in OMV1. However, during service master creation, the user is still able to enter any number in the service number (ASMD-ASNUM) field.
Is there anyway to set this field to display only (not input)? I've gone through the field selection config but ASNUM does not appear.
Regards!

Hi
For no external number assignment you need to maintain two things.
1. The number range group assigned to the service category in transaction ACNR should not have any external number range intervals.(mandatory)
2.In OMV1 Transaction you need to maintain the External number assignment as no i.e Blank field.
Reward points if useful

Tolrence Limit at Service activity level similar to Article.

Dear All,
I am in edge of implementing the External service Process in our work place.
Process will be as follow;
Service Activity will be created.
Pricing Conditions
PO creation with Account Assignment "F" & Item category "D".
And then normal service entry process.
Can we have the tolerence limit on the service activity created thru AC01 .E.g If i maintain price of the service in ML45 e.f Rs100. Can i put some tolerence of 10% upper limit so that user can update the Price in the PO more than Rs.110_.
Please share your valuable feedback & suggestion.
Thanx in advance
Sonal D.

Dear Praveen,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually after sending you all the mail I searching the config & other settings in External Services management I came across the Lower limit & upper lImit setting. But unfortunately after testing many scenarios it has been observed that the same was not working...e.g
If the service Activity's net price maintained in ML45 is 100/- & upper limit as120 /-.
Then later PO is created with the same service activity, Price populated from the condt records is 100/-.
Next, I had manually entered 150/- that is beyond the upper limit but still system didnt restrict in PO.
Can you help me unserstand that am I missing any other setttings.
Please confirm.
Regards,
Sonal D.
