Validation of Network Profile against Project Profile

Hi,
I would like to monitor the creation of Networks with regard to the Project Profile, based on the Network Profile, so that when a Network is created with Profile "ZCN00", for example,it could be saved only if the Project Profile is "ZPS000" (taken from the Project Definition to which the Network is assigned).
I have used Validation/Substitution for similar logic regarding WBS elements against Project definition, but I cannot use Validation/Substitution for Network Header for this purpose because the Project Profile is not accessible in the Data for this Validation.
I have also tried Validation/Substitution in "Consistency check project structure" where all data is accessible - but validations here cannot be assigned in customizing to various profiles (Project/Network); as stated in thread "Validation for Proj. structure" in this forum, these can be activated using transactions CNC4, CNC5.
This does not solve my problem because I need to PREVENT the creation of a Network in the "wrong" Project - and not to trace the inconsistency AFTER the network has been created.
Is there a way to use the Consistency check project structure for my need without any other means, or do I have to use one of the exits provided in that tool?
Thanks in advance,
Eytan.

Dear Sam,
Thank you for your reply.
In our work processes, there is a main function who creates and manages the Project Structure, excluding Networks, and in many cases, certain people may work on several different projects where they create networks, so I cannot limit their authorization to specific profiles, be it Project definitions or networks.
I know my issue can easily be solved by a simple development (like the Badi suggested in Virendra's message)- but I want to make sure I have covered the possibilities in the standard system - specifically VSR - before I go there.
Regards,
Eytan.

More than one validation in Project Profile

Dear all,
I have created a validation rule to validate the company code used between the Project Definition and WBS Element, and it must be the same. This validation is working
I assigned it in OPSA for the Project Profile that I am working on. The validation was carried out successfully too.
However, in the configuration in OPSA, there is only one field for assignment of validation rule created for one project profile.
Now I have more than one validation required for the same Project Profile. I need to carry out few validations. Is there any other way (in configuration) that I can do to achieve this?
Pls help.
Thanks.
Best rgds.

Thank you, Ahmed.
Already thought of that just at the point when you replied.
Anyhow, full points for you too.
Cheers.

Settlement of WBS/Project Profile (Cross Company Code)

Hello All,
At my current client, we are having 45 company codes assigned to one controlling area.My question is around setting of Project Profile/Settlement Profile. How do I manage project profiles?
Also If I am managing few project profiles allowing cross company code settlement, what are the pros and cons of doing this? What are the bare minimums for this with respect to configuration
Thanks
Shiv

projects are cross company codes but must be wuithin oine controlling area - so you are ok
the settlement will be from an object either WBS or network activity
the settlement will happen in the company code that is assigned to either the WBS or network activity
regards project profile create as less as possible - if the only difference is the company code then use templates for different companies, or make company code mandatory forcing the user to enter on creation - this will limit the number of project profiles

Creation of Project Profile & Network Profile

Hi Experts,
I am new to PS. We have a customer project which has two company codes.
Company 1 has three plants and company 2 has one plant. Our client will use PS for new product development projects. That new product will be developed in a single plant itself. Each plant is dedicated to one kind of product development only.
Please let me know how many project profiles & network profiles have to be created for this scenario.
Thanks & Regards,
Kabir

Hi Virendra,
Thank you for the reply.
In our case, by New product development project, my client means that they will develop a new product for their customers based on the new specifications & designs. For example, an auto component.
The client also wants to do the billing. So we will take it as a customer project here. We will have WBS for Design, Production, Delivery etc...with activities in it. In such case, is one project profile & one network profile sufficient ? Please suggest.
Thanks
Kabir

Hi,
Have you tried to save the project? Because validation rule will call at time of saving the Project.
I have created the same but for start with 'U'
When I create project and at time of saving, validation rule will call and system throw error if I don't create project start with 'U'.
Now If I am creating here, start with 'J'. System is throwing error as per validation rule.
Also Pl check if you have assigned same correct rule on project profile.

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.

Prabu

Restricting project profile in CJ20N/CJ01 t-code

Hi Experts,
Based on the client requirement we have created a new Project Profile named as theShutdown Project. The type of Project is ShutDown. The client wants to restrict the same only for the Plant users usage.
I know that the type of the project can be restricted thru standard authorization object -
C_PRPS_ART. The coding mask is not restricted or defined as of now.
Since we could not find any standard authorization object which restricts specifically on Project Profile, we tried creating a Z
auth.object as follows:
u2022 SU20 -CREATE AUTHORIZATION FIELD
u2022 SU21 -CREATE AUTHORIZATION OBJECT
u2022 SU21 -LINK AUTHORIZATION FIELD AND AUTHORIZATION OBJECT
u2022 SU24 -ADD THE AUTHORIZATION OBJECT IN THE TCODE CJ20N AND CJ01
u2022 PFCG-CREATE ROLE WITH AUTHORIZATIONS TO TCODES- CJ20N AND CJ01. ALSO
ADD THE AUTHORIZATION OBJECT MANUALLY. GENERATE THE ROLE AND SAVE THE
SAME. LINK USER ID TO THE ROLE
u2022 SE38- LCJWBF7S. CREATE ENHANCEMENT IN FORM PROJ_SET AND ADD
AUTHORISATION CHECK OF THE ABOVE CREATED OBJECT
The issue is that the above procedure is restricting the access for all the other users too despite it being attached to a particular role only. Every project profile other than shutdown project is getting an error -"You are not authorisedfor this activity"
Please advice if our approach is correct or are there any alternative available.
Regards
Khushali

HI,
You need not have a separate Auth Object for "Project Profile".
Make use of your standard auth object "Project Type" only.
Introduce a simple validation to say that The only project type "Shutdown Projects" should be allowed for your Project Profile "Shutdown Project"
By this, while Project creation, system throws error (Error you defined in the validation) in case both the Profile & Type are incompatible. When the user selects the appropriate "Project Type", then the subsequent standard error would be related to authorization on Project Type for the desired users.

Project Profile from SAP-PS in cProjects

Hi,
Need your suggesttion on the below issue. We have cProject & R/3 integration. Project structure will be created in cProjects which will also create a project in SAP-PS. As per standard SAP-PS, CPR0001 is project profile to be used for cProjects & PS interface. Project profile (CPR0001) contains standard settings of SAP such as controllig area / company code / plant etc. I had copied CPR0001 project profile & created new profile to be used for creating project as per our organsaition structure. I observed while creating project from cProjects, it is considering CPR0001 project profile & accordingly the organisation structure is copying where as our required project profile is different.
I would like to request in cProjects, where it is calling project profile & to make the project profile as per our requirments.
Thank you for your cooeparation.

Ranjan

Hi Ranjan,
1. Project element is creating as WBSE & project definition in PS. But there is no one -to-one mapping. I would like to transfer various phases as WBSE in R/3 but it is n't happening
>> There tow scenario of the replication, one is role-based, other is task-based. In case of role-based, the phases are not used, as role is not under the phase. In case of task-based, the phase should be used, as it is in most cases the parent of the task. I am not 100 percent sure at this point.
2. Dates are n't getting transferred to project in project structure of SAP-PS.
>> At the replication, only some data are mapped to the WBS, mostly the costs relevant information, as the purpose of this functionality is costs. Even the left-right relationships can not guaranteed in some cases.
3. The WBSE which created in PS from cProjects, master data are locked
>> Worked as designed. The idea is to forbid the use change the master data of the replicated WBS. It is somehow inflexible, but it is customer requirement, which trigger this feature. You can unlock it manually in the ERP system.
4. Tasks are n't getting transferred as network activity into PS
>> Not possible in cPro. 4.0, in release 4.0 the project system integration (other name multiple level controlling) will be mapped to WBS. In Release 3.1, it is possible to get. But from my point of view, map to WBS is the better way.

Defalut Project profile

Hi,
I want to make default project profile for project coding mask.
I have 2 different types of projects. 1 is starting with HHD/2008/001, HHG/2008/001
2nd starting with HPC/2008/001, HPW/2008/001
I have 2 Project Profile. Profile - 1000 n 2000
I want to have default project profile like, if the Project is starting with HH, it should pick only 1000 and if the project is starting with HP, it should allow only 2000 Profile.
As both the Projects have different Co Codes.
Advise me the best solution. Rewards Points guarnteed.
Regards
N.Raju

Try this-
T Code : OPSI
Validation for Project Definition:
Prereq:
PROJ-PSPID :1-2: = 'HH'
Check
PROJ-PROFL = '1000' OR PROJ-PROFL = '2000'
If check NOT fulfilled.
Error
Refer this in the project profile.

After moving shared profiles to Windows 7/32 Pro PC, I can't access them from XP box mapped to the profile share (P:\Profiles...) after editing profiles.ini to point to the network share. I can edit files in the profile directory from XP.

Previous configuration: Shared profiles located at D:\profiles\ on PC1 (XP Pro SP3). 2nd PC (PC2 also XP Pro SP3) mapped to \\PC1\Profiles via mapped drive P: and using absolute reference in profiles.ini on PC2. Remote profiles work OK on PC2.
New PC added (PC7) to eventually replace PC1 (Windows 7/32 Pro). Profiles moved to D:\Profiles on that box. Firefox and Thunderbird work fine on PC7 with the local profiles. Profiles.ini edited on PC1 to point to the network share and will not access the remote profiles. Access permissions are set to full for everyone. I can write and edit to files in the profile directories from PC1.
I tried adding a profile with the profile manager and tried to force it to use the network share, but it still located the new profile down in the default directory ...\application data\Mozilla\Firefox\

Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
Go Utilities > Disk Utility
Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
I hope this help.

Object or Bdoc type for project profile(PS)

Hi,
we have to integrate SAP PS and CRM marketing Campaign to transfer the cost of the campaign. In CRM we have a node where we assign the Project profile to the Logical client in CRM in SPRO.
We need to know is there a separate object or BDOC type for this or is it part of some of the existing Bdoc.
Thanks
AJ

Thanks Joaquin,
Please can you elaborate more on which transaction or rather where can we pull the object from...Is it part of initial load settings?
We dont find it there.
Thanks
