SYSTEM ALLOWING TO ENTER WRONG CODING MASK

Dear Gurus,
I have created a project ID WITH 2 LEVELS OF wbs AS BELOW
P/AT11
P/AT11-LAND
P/AT11-LAND-CV
P/AT11-LAND-ME
But if i later change the 2nd Level WBS from  P/AT11-LAND TO  P/AT11-LNBL and tried to save, the system allowed it to save, where as the 3rd level WBS are still  P/AT11-LAND-CV,
Finally there is mismatch in 2nd level and 3rd level WBS so system should not allow, is there any setting for this pls guide.

Kindly check the following thread:
Making project defination non editable

  • How to add new coding mask into productional system

    Hi,
    A new division is entering our system and has a business requirement for a project coding mask C-00000.00.00.00.00 to handle capital investment projects. We would like this proces to make the good example for rolling out project models to the rest of the organisation (and for making new coding masks in the future)
    However, we are facing a problem. Until now only the IT department has been using the project system and they have not had the need for mulitlevel projects or project models.
    IT projects today is entered as free texts like:
    Definition ITINTCOM001-S1003
    WBS       ITINTCOM001-S1003
    with no regard to the coding. Logistics integration is used via networks and MM-SRV.
    I have read in another issue in the forum that I was supposed to be able to enter additional coding masks as long as they did not interfear with existing coding masks. So I tried to transport a new coding mask into the system but it created an error message CJ 610 "Entry length is incorrect B-00000.00.00.00" with a reference to the coding (there are no existing projects using B- or any other coding mask). It also made a system dump when a wbs was searched via F4.
    So I removed the coding again and the system went back to normal.
    Since go-live is closing in I would be highly appreciative if  anybody had a suggestion on how to solve this issue?
    BR
    Allan Albrecht

    In the Node SPRO (T code OPSK) ie., Define Special Characters for Projects, mention '1' in PL field- Length of key for coding (as in your case the key is 'B') and don't check the check box SL. Also don't check the check box 'Edit'.
    For reasons, refer the F1 help on these fields.
    Save this and new coding mask in same request and transport it. Try this and let me us know if it solves the problem.
    You can also refer to note 520944

  • Coding mask - SAP adding 0 and spaces

    Hi Experts,
    We are using coding mask in our configuration.
    It was initially set up as C.XX.XXX.X.0000.X.XXX.X
    We changed it to C.XX.XXX.X.XXXX.X.XXX.X
    and we found that all our project definition codes which were C.XX.XXX were updated to C.XX.XXX.    .0000
    Can you explain why this is happening? Is there a way of preventing SAP to change the codes?
    Thanks for your help,
    Thibault

    Infact this is standard behaviour of system when you does following with system.
    1.You transport coding masks into a client in which projects are already created.
    2.You copy projects into a client in which coding masks are already created.
    We have faced not exactly same but similar kind of issue  & Solved with SAP  Note 453280. Take time to understand Project clding mask and do some excercie with sample project before you start real correction. It will surely work out.
    Once moe thing you can  alwalys chagne numeric to alphaneumeric but not reverse.

  • System allows to posts the MIRO wrong

    Hello friends,
    System allowed to post the tran MIRO, though there is no Value in Amount Field and
    I saw the entry in MIR4, the value posted to Differenc ac rather than Venfor ac.
    For other entries systems not allowing for posting without enter the value in Amount field.
    So i don't understnad how the sytem allowed for that entry only
    and i tried to reverse in MR8M but systems is showing error that "Tax code country IN does not exist in procedure TAXINN".
    So please advise me how to reverse the entry or clear.
    Raju

    Hi Amish,
    you are correct.
    It was posted to Price Diff ac
    but how can i reverse it in MR8M. as my second message, it encounters the issue "Tax code country IN does not exist in tax procedure TAXINN
    So can i make the Debit note for this issue

  • Validation Rule for the coding mask and project profile

    Hi,
    I have two project profile and two coding masks. I want one project profile to be only used by defined coding mask for that profile.
    So i have maintained a validation rule as follow -
    Prerequisite - Project Def. :1-3: = 'A5M'
    Check - Project Profile = 'ABC'
    And if the above check is failed then give me an error message.
    Now i am trying to add the project profile other than 'ABC' for the coding mask starting with 'A5M', but still the system is not giving me an error message configured and allowing me to save the project.
    Is there any other thing which is tobe activated other than assigning the validation rule in project profile and clicking the Autom. validation check box in OPSA.
    Request to confirm share the views.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Try the following, this must work.
    Prerequisite
    PROJ-PROFL = "ABC"
    Check
    PROJ-PSPID: 1-3: = "A5M"
    Message
    Project profile & Coding mask wronly assigned
    Repeat the same for other project profiles also.
    Enter this validation in your project profile. Check in "Auto Validation"
    In transactinal data,
    Enter project def and select the wrong profile. when you save the project system will show you the error message.
    Hope this will help you.

    Your coding mask is exceeding the limit of 24 characters(including special characters). Reduce some characters to make it 24 or less then 24.

  • Project coding mask problem

    Hi friends,
    My coding mask is: 00/XXXX.X.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX
    The First six characters are for the Project definition.
    First I created the Project definition, eg: 13/0000.
    Then I created the top level WBS element which will be the same as the Project definition, 13/0000.
    Then I created the 9 second level WBS elements (limit is 9 as per the coding mask) eg: 13/0000.1, 13/0000.2 and upto 13/0000.9
    Then I want to create some 20 WBS elements under the first WBS element (13/0000.1). At this time the system is allowing me to create the first 9 WBS elements, i.e, 13/0000.1.1, 13/0000.1.2 and so on upto 13/0000.1.9. According to the coding mask the system should allow me to create upto 99 WBS elements at this level. But this is not happening. I am surprised. I want to know why this is happening. Please help me out.
    regards
    Pratap

    Sorry for the delay in reply. There was some problem in SDN website here as a result of which I was not able to post my reply.
    In the meanwhile I found out the reason for this problem.
    My coding mask was 11/XXXX.X.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX
    Since it is 'X', the project creation was not being allowed to create more than 9 WBS elements.
    I then tried changing to 11/XXXX.0.00.00.00.00.00
    Now it is working fine.
    Thanks for your support guys.
    But I have one more doubt now.
    I have the old Coding (11/XXXX.X.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX) in my quality server. How do I make changes and transport it now? I may face problem since I have already created projects in the quality server with the old coding mask. Please sugget.

  • Project coding mask in PS

    Dear Sap gurus,
                          Can anyone explain what is project coding mask in project system.please very urgent
    Thanks&Regards
    p.srinivasan

    With the project coding you will going to idntify the project definition and WBS elements in SAP.
    In Customizing for "Project Number Coding Mask", you define the appearance of the coding masks.
    Also in Customizing for "Special Characters" table, you specify the special characters for WBSs, and you also specify the following for the project coding: whether coding must be used, how long the key should be, and whether this length is compulsory. Also a temporary placeholder for determining a project number automatically.
    So based on the organizational requirement you will identify how the project coding should look like.
    Say for Eg. for company code NLY0, I want start all the project naming should start with NLY0-XX-XXXX.
    you specify how a project number in customization for editing. You can maintain the following parameters for editing the project number:
    The length of the key for project coding 4
    and many special characters, specifying whether the key must have this exact length or whether it can also be shorter. Special characters to enter WBS elements faster. An indicator specifying whether only coded project numbers can be used to create projects....so on.
    Like that based on the organization requirement you can maintain you own project coding.
    If you satisfy with the answer, reward the points accordingly.

  • Dedicated coding mask for standard template.

    Hi Experts
    I wish to maintain coding mask for: various varities of projects like:
    1) PP/00000-00-00-00
    2) PS/00000-00-00-00
    3) PA/00000-00-00-00
    To have the template functionality also in place, please suggest which of the following is best?
    1) The above coding masks are allowed for both operative and standard. It means, the number series contains mix of both std and operative projects.
    2) To have a dedicated coding mask ST/00000-00-00-00 which will be a common standard template for creating Operative projects using the above masks. I am still having doubt since i could not test this as the existing system coding masks not allowed for modication.
    I request the experts, to suggest a best practice in this regard.
    warm regards
    ramSiva

    The number series will not contain the mix of both operative and standard structures as you have mentioned in point 1. Please check.
    As for point 2, Kabir is right. Create a new mask for standard structures and lock it for operative projects.

  • Error in Coding mask

    Dear Experts,
                     I have a one issue in Coding mask.My mask is "PSXP-XXX-00-00-00-00-00",For this mask im going to create wbs elements like CJ20nproject Definationwbs overviewCreate Wbs element,for this im not getting any error.But Im going to create Cj20nproject DefinationRight click on project definationcreate wbs.. In this scnerio the wbs element is not picking up the running number [Example:When im going to create level 1 wbs element through overview screen it will pick up "PSXP-001-01" and working fine,When im going to create WBS element through right click it is picking up like this "PSXP-001-1"].May i know the reasons please..It will very helpful for me..

    Dear Pradeep,
                   Thanks for your quick response...
       But my question is Project defination>wbs overview>create Wbs.Here it will pickup automatically running number(means 01).As you said numaric system it will not consider the zeroes,I agree..But it should not take When im going to create WBS through Overview screen right..In my case it is taking  automatically running number automatically..
    Second,In your version we will not create not morethan 9 wbs elements in that level right,then what is the use of taking "00"?.
    If im wrong please correct me...

    Regards&Thanks
    P.Srinivasan

    Hi Srinivasan,
    We specify how a project number is coded for editing
    Create masks for editing the project number. Masks help display complex project numbers. They can also be used to indicate the position of a WBS element in the project hierarchy.
    The following characters are available for editing:
    •     For alphanumeric characters
    •     0 for numeric characters
    •     Special characters to organize the project numbers
    Configuration Details
    We can maintain the following parameters for editing the project number:
    •     The length of the key for project coding
    We can assign up to five places for the key.
    •     An indicator specifying whether the key must have this exact
             length or whether it can also be shorter
    •     Special characters to enter WBS elements faster
    An indicator specifying whether only coded project numbers can be used to create projects
    Special characters are :- Example PL (4) ET (*), SP (/ , . , > , < , = , - etc)
    Project Coding Mask:- How do you define the Project Structure (Levels etc)
    and how you want its numbering system to be seen/saved.
    Examples:-
    For Project Id = CCMD
    Coding Mask = xxxx-00-xx-XX

  • Coding mask problem

    Hi All,
    I am facing the problem in coding mask.
    I have existing project coding  mask let say abcd :000/0/0/00 like this. here i am using project id of 4 char and remaing 20 for coding.
    i will like to use project id as abc and remain 21char for coding but
    system is not allowing me to create new error says abc already present.
    then i tried with different char like xyz but still it is restricting me to use 20 digit only in coding mask
    what is  problem ? how can we solve it
    regards
    shiv

    Hi Martina,
    I have one doubt.Suppose we configure Length of coding key= 1, define a coding mask A-0000 and create a operative project A-0001. Then sytem doesnot allow us to change the length as operative project exists. Now if we have had length 2 earlier (instead of 1) then system will allow us to change the length to 1,3,4 or 5. If we change the length to 3,4,5 we can go back to length 2/1 later. But if we change length to 1 then our existing project will get assigned to existing coding mask and system will not allow to change the length later on.
    Does this mean that, though we have 1 to 5 options for coding key length, once we have selected a particular length and have coding mask of that particular length, create a operative project with that mask, then we cant change the length of coding key? In short we need to decide the length only for once, at the start of implementation and cant change it once we have operative projects. Or you know any method to go back to earlier key length in case opeartive projects exist?
    Request you to please comment.
    Regards

  • FMEA Coding Mask

    FMEA Coding Mask is set to automatic mode in configuration and I expect system to duplicate the number from higher level element.  The result shows that coding mask has no effect at all.
    Has anyone already implemented coding mask in FMEA successfully?  Please guide how to activate it.
    Thanks
    Paul
    I realize my FMEA structure cannot be cater in coding mask as there are 7 levels but header level already taken up 18 characters.  Hence has to manually control the coding.

    Raj-
    Apply OSS notes 1344009 for missing texts, 1356415 for german words in english version, 1365089 for overlap of person responsible.
    And also browse the service market place for relevant oss notes base don the application qm-pt-fa, hardly you have 76 - most of them you need to get FMEA function correctly eventhough you may not be using all FMEA functionalities.
    The coding mask is like the standard sap functionaloty , once you maintain the coding mask irrespective of the way you enter the identification number system automatically convert it to the format you have maintained in the mask. I tried it, but working only for header part of the fmea. did not try for other lower level items. I did not dig into that as we have decided to go for automatic sequential number assignment. just explore it you want to use it. And also SAP released a note for this to correct some errors.
    Thanks,

    hi guys,
    I would like to change my project coding mask already existing, and used (so i have wbs element created already)
    using transaction  OPSJ
    i wanted to add 5 character at the end of the existing codification
    Before : AA.XXXXXX.XXX.XXXX
    After  :   AA.XXXXXX.XXX.XXXX.XXXXX
    of course, i have the SAP scary message.
    i did look for OSS note 520944 - and it looks like i can do it (see the note extract)
    If you want to change an existing editing mask in Customizing, the
    following rules apply:
    o You can only add one new alphanumeric section to the editing mask.
    o You can change a numeric section into an alphanumeric section of
    the same length (see Note 521625).
    o You can change the special characters of the editing mask. If you
    use the solution of Note 441749, you have to update the affected
    objects on the database (see Note 441749)
    as, honnestly the note are note really clear on this subject,
    Does somebody ever done this change in production system ? your feedback ?

  • Deletion of Project Coding Mask

    Dear All,
    I have created one Project with Project Coding Mask and placed Commitments and Actuals against this Project.I reversed the actuals and trying to delete this project but cant delete it.I placed deletion flag on this project and tried to delete my Project coding mask but i cant delete it.
    Please advice me how to delete the Project coding mask as i have to create new mask as  per the requirements ,
    Thanks
    Muzamil

    Go to OPSJ, try deleting the mask entry.... Normally system should allow. In case it does not... request you to try and delete the project first.
    you can do so from CJ20N.
    Also try using SE16 and put the table name PROJ. click execute in next screen... system gives all the table entries.
    Check the required entries and follow menu path Table entry >> delete...
    Hope this helps...
