WBS and funds center

Hi
Kindly explain the process flow for forming the link between WBS element and the funds center:
1. should we assign the WBS to the funds center and commit. item combination at the time of creation of PR
2. Is there single step, which assign all the WBS elements in the project, that can be assigned to the funds center and commit. item
3. Can we assign the budget to Fuds center + commit. item + WBS element combination.
regards
srikrishna

Hi srikrishna,
1. To assign fund center to WBS. First you should create the fund center (FM2i). Then assign the fund center to WBS (FRC7). Assign commitment to fund center (FM9K). Then generate budget structure (FMG5).
2. There's a way to simplify the fund center assignment to WBS, it's by creating WBS Element group for all WBS in that project (CJSG). Create WBS Group before assigning fund center to WBS (FRC7), then you don't have to assign the fund center to WBS one by one, instead just assign it to the WBS Group.
While, I'm not really clear about the the 3rd question.
Hope it helps, CMIIW...I'm still learning PS also.
Cheers

Report Needed to show WBS and Profit Center on Invoices

I need a report of open and cleared invoices that show the WBS and Profit Center.
I have tried the FBL5N and it doesn't populate it. Any other reports out there???

You dont have to join them. Keep both profit center and cost centre in the cube. While defining the update rules, derive profit center from cot centre.
In the report , keep profit center and cost centre as free char.
The users can dynamically drill down and view the report for cost centre or profit centre or both.
Another idea is to keep profit centre as a nav attribute in the cube and in that case, you dont have to derive profit centre from cost centre in the update rules.

How to derive commitment item and fund center when create PR from MRP.

Dear Experts,
No commitment item and fund center are derived when I create PR from MRP. I have to run transaction fm_mrp_pr to derive commitment item and fund center. However, I want to derive FM assignments during creating PR through transaction MD04. I plan to use user-exit to derive FM assignment while PR is creating from MRP. Which FM bapi, functions,etc... can I use in user-exit to derive FM assignment? Do you have an idea?
Thank you in advance,
Sibel

Hi Sibel,
Please check if note 1247722 and 1127135 are applied in your system. If not, kindly apply it and retest your issue. It should resolve it.
Kind Regards,

Book cost to WBS and Cost Center

Hello All,
TEST SYSTEM
I post cost to WBS ( 5150 real ) and cost center (1001 real). The wbs 5150 is assign to cost center 1001.
I do not have validation and subs.
The system allow me to book cost to both cost object (WBS/Cost Center)
How does the system recognize this.
To my knowledge even though you booked cost to both cost object the system will automatically make wbs as statiscal.
Is this correct ?
Please advise
Thanks
bali

Hi,
If your WBS is not defined as statistical in the master data, then booking to WBS and cost centre, will create statistical posting to cost centre and not to WBS.

Fund center and commitment item not updated

Hi!
We are using Funds Management together with SRM. When we change the value of e.g. cost center and not the account assignment itself we do not get an update on fund center. When changing account we do not get an update on commitment item either. This is standard SAP and we have been asked to use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI. Have anyone else had this problem?
I would really appreciate if anyone have some code for this BADI or any other badi e.g. BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI. It is only important that changes in PO when replicated to back end results in the correct update of commitment item and fund center.
Sincerely
Andres

Solved through BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI

Unable to do the restriction at Fund Center or FM Area when FM is not activ

Hi,
we have the following business requirement:
Background of the issue:
Field Status variant in Account Assignment category and GL:
We are in the process of rolling out one of our company codes which is
in a different instance(server).
We already have some 130+ company codes running in a different
instance. This is a kind of Instance consolidation to bring all systems
under one instance.
Funds Management has been activated in the company code for which we
are carrying out the rollout. FM has not been activated for the
existing company codes.
Now, the issue is with regard to the field status variants, which can
be controlled at the company code level and which cannot be controlled
which is at the client level.
(i)     The existing company codes have a field status variant which
has the field status groups having the fields Commitment items and
Funds center in Suppress mode in the existing instance.
(ii)     The company to be rolled out has the field status variant which
has field status groups having the fields Commitment items and Funds
Center in Optional mode.
(iii)     On the other hand, there is yet another field status control
for the Account assignment objects like Cost center, WBS elements, etc.
in the MM-FI integration area. This is at client level and at present
the same has the status of u201CSuppressu201D for Commitment items and Funds
Center. We have changed the same to u201COptionalu201D for the purpose of
testing the proposed roll out in our existing instance.
In that case, the status of GL account assignment in above is
clashing with our client level field status as described in (iii)
above. As a result, we are forced to change the field status in
above to optional mode for our existing company codes which we do not
intend to do.
When only one company within a group of companies is activated with FM,
I feel that:
(i)     At the client level, there is no option for me other than to
keep the Funds center and commitment items in optional mode
(ii)     At the GL level, I should be able to keep my field status in
Suppress mode (If FM is not activated) and in Optional mode (If FM is
activated) and SAP should be able to take care of the clash in the
field status at the transaction level in such a scenario.
The issue is we are able to control the access if FM is activated for a particular company code, where as we are unable to control the access for other company codes where FM is not activated and FM Area is not linked.
We tried to use the BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST, but this is applicable for POs only.
Please look into this issue and help us in meeting our business requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramakrishna

Hi Justin,
Thanks for the extra points.
Copy and save this bold text some where
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7
This needs to be run in Terminal.
iChat needs to be shut down to do so.
Just paste it in Terminal after the Welcome to Darwin message and hit enter.
It will launch iChat and create an on-going log in the Terminal window.
You will see the reference to the Harware rules.plist
Further down you will see the bandwidth found by iChat, followed by the number of Audio and Video Buddies that you can support.
It goes on.....
It makes a note of the router that you are connected to.
After that it will end up lists listening checks until you connect to a Chat.
This makes this a useful way to find out what iChat can see at it's startup.
To Stop - Quit iChat in the Normal way.
Save the Log in a Text editor of some sort. (Post here if required).
Then Quit Terminal.
It is a useful tool to highlight some things in the start up phase, (And a reminder to look in specific places) when you think you have looked at all the settings.

Entry in field Funds Center required; check the field control Mg No.FMEF010

Hi,
We have a Z tcode for converting planned order to purchase requisition.
We use Account assignment P - Project and A - Asset.
We have WBS element and fund center linked to it.
For the Z tcode while converting Planned order to purchase requisition we are getting below error
Error: Entry in field Funds Center required; check the field control Msg No.FMEF010
While creating manually purchase requisition with same GL code and WBS element the fund center gets automatically picked.
Can anyone pls let me know in which table we can find the link between WBS element and fund center so that we can code the same in our program. In PRPS table we can find the link between WBS and profit center.
Or is there any user exit that can be used.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Radha

Hello
If you do a F1 in the value date field it will give you the answer - The value date is used in bank accounts and bank sub-accounts.
As regards the other query check whether the tax code has been already created.
Hope it helps.

Thanks in advance
Satya

Hi
thank you for your reply.
I defined validations as below but it is not working.
Prerequisite: Transaction code = 'FBCJ' AND Document Type = 'KZ'
Check: Funds Center <> '' AND Fund <> ''
In the debugg I found fileld values of VENDOR, FUND and FUNDS CENTER are not filled in the BSEG table.
the validation message is showing correctly but even if I entered the required values again asking same entries.
I am using business transaction PAYMENT TO CREDITOR initially I entered amount, vendor if I try to post system is asking enter the fund and funds center after entering the required fileds again asking same field entries.
could you suggest any other solution.
is there any chance to enter our own structure in tab tables field in Validations.
thanks and regards.

No funds center derived for GR IR account

Dear all,
We have faced a strange issue in Funds Management. We have a GR IR GL account for which system automatically derives the commitment item and fund center based on those in the PO. That is, whatever FC and CI are maintained in the PO, the GR IR account derives the same accounts during MIRO.
However this is true only for material POs. We have created a service PO for a specific network of a project. In this particular case the system is not allowing us to post the invoice as it cannot derive the fund center. It seems during MIRO, the FM accounts of PO are not getting linked to the GR IR account. Please note that GR (or service entry sheet entry) is not relevant for budget consumption. Budget consumption takes place during PR,PO and MIRO.
Request your input in this regard.
Thanks
Snigdho

Hi,
First of all, you need to be sure that all existent correction notes are implemented in your system.
Please check if the following notes are applied in your system (including manual steps):
1289547 FM account assignment incorrect in GR/IR clearing in service
1327560 GR Account Assignments based on previoustly posted SES
1429223 GR Account Assignments based on previoustly posted SES II
1450965 FM account assignment incorrectly inherited from PO
1480503 FM account assignment for GL line overwritten in MIRO
1502874 Planned Delivery Costs are not updated during GR/IR postings
These notes correct wrong behaviours in include LFMCOBLF06 related to account assignment.
If the notes are not there but are valid to your current release/package, please apply all in one test system and retest your issue.
Regarding inheriting the FM assignments, material po's can retrieve the FM account assignments from the FM tables.
This ensures that the current FM account assigments are always used.
However, in the case of Services, it is not possible to use the FM tables as it is not guaranteed that the correct Account assigment will be retrieved. So, the SES table ESKN is used instead. The ESKN record is created at the time the SES is created.
In Summary: Due to the structure of Service documents, the FM tables cannot be used to access the previous document's account assignment. Material documents can use the FM tables to get the previous account assignemnt. So, for Material documents, FMDERIVE does not need to be called when a predecessor document is found. However, FMDERIVE needs to be called for SES because the SES application table does not store FM fields. So, this needs to be rederived.
I suggest you also to read SAP Note 923672 (do not apply it).
The account assignments on the SES screen are indeed changable. This is part of the standard design for SES process. Unfortunately, FM cannot control if the fields on the account assignment popup screen should be in edit, display, or hidden mode. This screen is control by SES, therefore is good that you check also this customizing in MM:
IMG - Materials Management - Purchasing - Account Assignment - Maintain Account Assignment Categories
In this activity, for the account assignment category which is the account assignment category used in the P.O., you have flag 'Acct. Assg. Changeable', then, the account assignment should be derived again. Not sure if you can restrict by different processes and for SES have this flag not marked so FMDERIVE will be not called and the FM account assignments would be inherit from the PO.
From my understanding, if the PO concern is a service PO, it is legitimate to accept the service (via ML81N) with different account assignments. Hence, the account assignment fields are not hidden or in display mode only.
From FM point of view, if a user does not deliberately change the account assignments on the SES screen or FMDERIVE is not setup to overwrite the FM account assignments, then by default the FM account assignments are inherited from the PO.
I hope this helps to overcome your issue.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.

WBS, Business Area and Profit Center not flowing in GR/IR Account

Hello Experts,
I have come across a very strange situation. I have two MIGO documents which are showing different posting characteristics:
1) FI Document 5000000553
In this document, the Business area and profit center is flowing in GR/IR Clearing Account (15660000) but WBS element is not flowing to this line item.
Screen shot is as follows:-
As you can see from the above screen shot that, for GR/IR Account 15660000. Only Business Area and Profit Center are flowing and WBS Element is not coming.
2. FI Document 5000015602
In this document, the WBS element is going in GR/IR Clearing Account (15660000) but Business area and profit center is not flowing to this line item
Screen Shot is as follows:-
From the above screen shot, Business Area and Profit Center are not flowing but WBS Element is coming.
Could you please let me know what could be the possible reason for this behavior of both the documents.?
Regards,
Amit

Hi Saurabh,
Its great to see your reply. Yes, I know that currencies and posting dates are different. But that's the way it is. One document is for fiscal year 2014 and other is for 2013. There is nothing related to currency and posting date which was causing the strange behavior of the system.
However, our team analyzed the issue and found that only for service material having a special valuation type related to services is causing the problem and still we are diagnosing the other possible root cause as well.
Thanks for your co-operation and suggestion.

Amit

MM-FM integration. How to stop update of Fund Center and Commitment Item

Hello!
Anyone please help. MM-FM integration.
Our problem is after automatic creation of PR and PO from work orders, and the fund center and commitment item in the PR and PO has been changed/updated by the user, and then we change something in the work order and save it, the fund center and commitment item of the PR and PO goes back to default value (based on FMderive). Is there a way to stop this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Rona

It seems like you have selected "Do not overwrite target values" option in both Funds Enter and Commitment Item in the derivation rule defined.
Go through SAP Note 666322, make sure the Trace feature in On and then choose the option "Overwrite Target Values" in both Funds Enter and Commitment Item in your derivation rule. After that, see the Difference before and after values in the trace log created after performing the derivation rule.
I am sure this will help.

Amar Lal

PS Issue Business Area and Profit Center - differing in WBS to Network

Hi
my team has used COPY NETWORK option and copied a network under WBS in Project Builder (CJ20N), It has observed that org elements of WBS and Network, Acticity are differing.
Now there are thounds of records of the same, (Org Elements differing in WBS to Network).
Can you sugest me is there any option to resolve the issue and settlement can be made correctly
regards
sri

Hi
Once actual postings are made on object (like network or WBS element) you cannot change CO elements (profit center, business area). Those will be disabled. However if no postings happen then you can edit those data.
If postings already happened and you are not able to change the fields, you can create new network and activity under same WBS element and can transfer the cost (line item wise) through FI (I belive F-02 or FB50 transactions). Please check with your FI counter part once.
