Easy Cost Planning (SAP) in Tender Process
Hi All,
I am using SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4. I wanted to know if Easy Cost Planning in SAP PS can be used to cost a project initially while Tendering process.Or is there any other tcodes in SAP for tender process? I created Costing Models for most of the possible processes in a civil project and included the labour cost,equipment cost and material cost in it.By this way can we proceed implementing SAP in our tendering department.Looking forward for your valuable replies.Hi ,
SAP has easycost planning objects available to cater to it. Process starts with inquiry.
1) Create inquiry for customer request. Define service material in material field in VA11
2) Create Project copying closest executed in part ( you have said 70% is engineered fresh, then project is 30 % correct at the time of copying)
3) Amend project to add/chnage/delete components & network activities. Add miilestone payment you wish to propose in quotation.
5) Add project no in inquiry (Accoutn assignment in Line item )
4) Use DP81 traxn to create quotation.Easy-cost planning need to be configured to calculate price( Cost+ mark up scenario possible) There are possibilites to pull as many deatils as you wish in quotation ( As line items) from project structure. It is possible to list major assemblies that will be delivered to customer( Make- To - Order variations). It is also possible to replace Service item used in inquiry with 'Material masters' of FERT & itemization in Quotation. Milestone dates from project will be copied you can propose % billing arrangement at each date to customer.
5) Able to revise quotation seamlessly & resond to customer changes/addtioal request. Revised quotation reflects your ability understand customer request & changes are seamlessly reflected in qty, total price & dates.
6) Upon confirmation of Sale, Sales order can be created copying quotation. All hard work/ iteration of commnucation with customer , need not be defined in system again. Order Acknowledgement will reflect agreements with customer.
SAP E C & O best practice has few more addtion for Civil project ... how to measure % completion based on Mortar used & daily output of cement mixing. That will help,

Hi,
Business maintains planned costs and revenues on WBS element using Easy Cost Planning tool. But for one of the WBS element system is not allowing to update/add planned revenue line items.User is able to update the planned costs for this WBS element.
The Legend in Easy Cost Planning screen is Non-Changeable Cost Estimate.

We have checked all the business process and all the revenue planning is allowed.
Please guide us on how to resolve this issue.This is resolved...Select the WBS and click on CLOSE icon to reset the cost estimate. This allows to plan revenues again.

Easy cost planning in Project & sales pricing
Dear All
When i was trying to create easy cost planning from project, I am uable to get the costing variant. I have done basic settings.But the same is not working properly
Kindly advise me how do i do this?
I need to create easy cost planning from project and from project i need to create salespricing through DP91. I have assigned DIP profile in project profile.
Please advise
Regards
Deepu PillaiHi,
Yes, that is the key that determines how a cost estimate is performed and valuated.
Depending on the object being costed, either the functions of either unit costing or product costing can be used.To calculate the costs of producing a material, you create a product cost estimate with or without a quantity structure
In a cost estimate with a quantity structure, the costing variant determines the following:
1. Which dates are valid for the cost estimate itself and for exploding and valuating the quantity
structure.
2. How the BOMs and routings are selected to create the quantity structure
3. Which prices are selected to valuate the quantity structure
4. How overhead is calculated
You create a unit cost estimate to cost the following objects:
1.Materials (cost estimate without quantity structure)
2.Materials (additive cost estimate)
3.Production orders in Controlling
4.Internal orders
5.WBS elements
6.Base planning objects
7.Cost object IDs
8.Sales documents
In unit costing, the costing variant determines which prices are selected to valuate the individual costing items and how overhead is calculated.
Costing variants are also used to calculate costs for Production orders,Networks,Maintenance orders,
Run schedule headers,Process orders,Sales document items,Appropriation requests,Ad hoc cost estimates.
A costing variant is linked to the control parameters like Costing type,Valuation variant,
Date control (in costing with and without quantity structure).
For config of Costing Variant,
Go to SPRO- Project system-Costs-Planned Costs-Costing-Define Costing Variants
Hope this helps.

Hi ,
I am using Easy cost planning methodlogy for Cost planning.
I need some guidance on following points.
1. Can easy cost plan can be saved in versions ?
2. In CJ30 planned cost I can view in annual view but it doesn't get Summed up at Header level WBS ?
3.After releasing the WBS easy cost plan can be changed How to restrict that ?
Pl suggest.
RgdsHi Rasam,
You can see the ECP of simulation using CJ20N, or CJ9ECP.
The multiple ecp (MECP) is applied using SAP extenstion, after release 2.0. If you can check the system status of your system, you can find out, if the EA_APPL (at least 2.0 release) is applied your system or not. IF yes, you can find the corresponding customizing to active the MECP.
If MECP is active, you can then determine in which version should be ECP maintained. You get an additional POP UP screen to let you select the CO version, as you lauch to the ECP in CJ20N or CJ9ECP.
Kind regards,

Easy Cost Planning & Project Stock
Dear Experts,
I am using Easy cost planning for WBS cost planning and Project definition control data tab page has Valuated Project stock selected.My costing model had an external procurement material for which I generated PR & PO thru Execution services.But the account assignment in my PR & PO was P with the corresponding WBS as account assignment and not Q.
I have two question regarding this,
1) Does it mean that while using ECP, Project stock concept will not work?
2)How can we get the pop up of procurement type options(like Res + PR for WBS element) while generating PR through execution services?Hi,
I am replying again because in my last answer there was some typing mistake.
Hi,
I tried your scenario is my system.
whenever i am changing P to Q in Config in SPRO,It is giving an error that "The selected account assignment category is not supported" that means it is not meant for Q but i double click for object type PR WBS Element and changed Acct Assgmt Cat to Q then system allowed me to save.
The i create a PR and WBSE is coming in the Account Assignement ,then i converted PR to PO and then i recived goods as project stock.when i issued the material in ECP it is not issuing from Project stock because 221 Q is not present in Config for SPRO so it is issuing from Normal stock so special stock from ECP is not supported.
But you can manually issue the material to the WBSE in MIGO/MB1A by 221 Q.
Hope it is clear.

Overhead costing sheet in easy cost planning
Hello,
I have created a overhead costing sheet (having base as material cost elements where a %age is defined to be applied on the material cost) and attached it to the valuation variant of easy cost planning in PS module.
Now for a given project when I am checking the easy cost planning, it is showing all individual lines of resources like material etc. along with its qty, price and value but I can not see the effect of the %age specified in overhead costing sheet.
Kindly suggest what is to be done.
Also pl. let me know whether I can see the cost component structure of easy cost planning.
With Thanks and Regards
RatnaHello,
Thanks for your reply.
But when I run CJ46 for a particular WBS element, it says "The object is not relevant for processing".
I have created the costingsheet as per the process mentioned below.
For overhead costing sheet, base is created with raw material cost elements range and origin group range.
Overhead rate is defined with dependency D020 - Overhead Type/Plant as 1.5% with proper validity period.
Credity key is defined with secondary cost element with category 41 and cost center and fixed % with default "*".
The above costing sheet is attached to the valuation variant of easy cost planning in PS module.
There is a cost component structure 10 which is attached to costing variant PS06.
Still CJ46 gives message as "The object is not relevant for processing" when I run it for particular WBS element.
Kindly suggest whether I m missing any other step.
With Thanks and Regards.

Dear All
When I try to create easy cost planning on WBS level by click button ECP system open screen "Edit Costing" instead of "Create cost estimate" When I try to enter version 0 & costing variant PS06 system give error message version 0 not for Easy Cost Planning. First I don't know why system open screen "Edit Costing" instead of "Create cost estimate" please anyone give inputs on same.
RegardsHi Pramila,
Check weather the version is allowed for planning.
In SPRO, Costs- >Create CO Versions , check weather the version 0 is defined and also check weather the Plan check box is checked.
Hope it helps

Is it Possible to do easy cost planning in network and acitivity level
Hi,
Is it possible to do easy cost planning in network and acitivity level
Rgds
Purna.MDear Sanjeev,
ECP not possible at Network or activities but it is not like that as you saying " any of cost planning not possible at activity level as per sap standard."
It is possible to do Network Cost Planning, for that you have to make the settings required for to determining the plan costs in networks.
In networks/activities the plan costs are:
Calculated automatically on the basis of the defined price and quantity structures
Planned using unit costings for general costs activities or material components
for this make the setting in config of PS node Project System -> Cost -> Planned Costs -> Automatic Costing in Networks/Activities.
