WBS Element Name Change
Hi,
User wants to change the WBS element Name, but the field is greyed out.
User has the access to CJ02 but only the long text is open to change but WBS Element Name / ID field is freezed and can not be changed.
The current status of WBS element is released.
In Quality system I am able to change the WBS element Name / ID.
Please let me know what can be the reason for WBS Element name field being greyed out.
Thanks
Satish
Hi,
I agree with Nitin.
You can not open any version witht he old name if they are already created and in at table level internal number is stored. When you change external number will get changed but not the internal number.
So for any report purpose or in any developments you are taking internal number and thru conversion exit converting it to external number then it will return old value not new value.
It will create lot of inconsistency in data once such volume of such instances grew.
If possible , set deletion indicator to that WBSE and create new one with desired name afresh.
Thanks

Checking WBS elements when changing WBS element group
Dear Gurus,
Well I am a technical consultant, I use to dwell in the ABAP forum, so maybe I am going to say things without much sense, if so please tell me.
I have a problem. One of our customers uses transaction KJH2 to change WBS elements groups and they have asked us to check the WBS elements that the users can put in the transaction.
If a user adds a new WBS range both the WBS elements have to exist in the system, we have to check it somehow, probably using a user-exit or a BADI.
The problem is that I have been looking for a BADI or a USER-EXIT for many hours and I have been unable to find one which allows us to check this, same when the user inputs the WBS element as when we save the changes.
Somebody has some help? Any advice would be apreciated.
In the while I will keep trying to find it and if I succeed I will post it here anyhow.
So long I have put a break-point in the 'CL_EXITHANDLER' class and I have checked the BADIs that can be used when I make the process, none can be useful I think. I have tried to find a USER-EXIT and I have foud none.
Thanks in advance to everyone.Hi Ayan,
Maybe you are right and we can't use a BADI for this. But we have a customer which has requested us to code this data check so I have to try.
I agree that this is master data but it is a simple data check without many consecuences (at least it seems so to me), maybe there is a way to do this.
Right now I think I am going to stop this until Monday as the FI consultant is now on vacation.
Thanks a lot for your reply. -

Wbs element number changing in easy cost planning
Hi ps guies
I m facing a strange problem in ps.
I create a structure in project bulider.after that when switch to easy cost palnning ,the top wbs number changes to another number which i dont know from where it is coming.
This happens only with top wbs ,rest of the numbers are same as i created.
it is happining in only easy cost planning ,and in rest of the transactions it is fine.
please suggest ur thoughts
regards
shashankHi...
what about..using item category E :Internal Activity.
You need to have defined activity types per Person ex T1000 for John W1, T1001 for Mike W2 etc.
Also you need to have defined planned rates in KP26 for each one of the activity types.
This way you can use ECP for each activity type (therefore employee) and use their own rates.
Hope it helps

Hi
In my Purchase Order, earlier it was account assigned to a WBS element A. When we ran CJI3, it showed the same. But now the account assignment of WBS element was changed to B. I have no idea how this got changed. I only can check from the Purchase Order history and found that "Profit center has been changed for the item".
How this could have happened? Any info reg this will be helpful. Thanks.
Reagrds
RamHi,
You can check the same in item >envoirnment-> changes.
Also if your PO is made wrt PR & some one has changed the wbs in PO only then it will not show correct commitment values in PS reports.
If you want your data to be correct then you give authroization only to your Planning team to change the WBS element. You can ask your consultant to make these fields as grey when PR is converted to PO.

BAPI for finding child WBS elements under a Parent WBS element
Hi friends,
I am working on the transaction ZIOS02 transaction. On releasing the Parent or Main WBS element in ZIOS02 transaction I need to copy some data from ZIOS to PRPS based on WBS element.
I have a Bapi for retrieving all the WBS elements based on Project Definition (BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO) but i want to know whether is there any BAPI for finding the child WBS elements when we give a Parent WBS elemnts as Input to BAPI.
Could any one please help me in the query ASAP.Hi friends,
I have got the answer for finding the child WBS elements.
In Function module BAPI_Project_get_info.
Use parameter subtree = 'X' and give the WBS element name in tables section under I_wbs_element. You will get all the child WBS elements which are under Main WBS element.
Thanks

Hi Gurus..
Our client wants to have WBS Element in change PO (ME22N) transction in display mode.

RohanIs it MRP generated or manually created? If it is MRP generated it is not possible. If it is manual you have option to change. Go to T.code OME9. select your account assignment category. Tick on acct.assg.changeable. It will work for you

Exit for replacing WBS element characters while copying from Project
Hi All,
While copying a Project from other Project/template in CJ01, we are getting only first 10 letters of a WBS element are getting replaced.
The requirement is to have replacement of letters even after 10th character in WBS element.
The SAP Note 502322 suggests to have user specific (custom) replacement logic in the user exit CNEX0033.
Anyone has worked around such requirements?? If so can you share it,,,?????
Regards
PavanHi,
While creating a Project in CJ01 by giving a template, the new Project will get created with all WBS elements from the template Project.
In standard system, the WBS Element which has more than 10 characters will get copied till 10th character only.
Now we need to work on user exit CNEX0033, so that entire WBS element name should get copied in the new Project.
Anyone has worked on such requirement???
When i create new Project in CJ01, the exit CNEXX0033 will trigger..
If so can you suggest me how to move further??

Thanks,
RajHi,
You can create a Transaction Variant for the transaction VA02 in which you have to maintain the WBS Element field as output only.
1. Go to SHD0, enter VA02 in Transaction & give a name to the transaction variant and press Create.
2. Enter an order no., go to the item "Account Assignment" tab.
3. Check "Output Only" against WBS Element in the screen listing all the tabstrips & Fields.
4. Exit & Save.
You will be returned to the SHD0 screen.
Select the "Standard Variants" Tab under "Standard Vriants" tab. Press activate to activate the Transaction Variant.
Go to VA02 to test the variant. You will get the WBS Element disabled.
Revert in case of any doubts.

Hi,
i am checking the all tabs of WBS Element in CJ20N, while checking unfortunately one character of WBS Element was missed & saved accordingly.
Old : 09/ITS/CN/IT/T09
New: 9/ITS/CN/IT/T09
Now user is trying to settle 09/ITS/CN/IT/T09 in CJ88, it showing the error as WBS does not exist.
again i tried to change as 09/ITS/CN/IT/T09 in CJ20N. but it is showing the error as below.
WBS element 09/ITS/CN/IT/T09 version RELEASED already exists
Message no. CJ026
Diagnosis
A WBS element with the name 09/ITS/CN/IT/T09 already exists in version RELEASED.
System Response
Processing stopped.
Procedure
Enter another name for the WBS element.
now how can i replace the correct WBS Element, Please suggest me any solution is possible.
Regards,
ShekarHi Shekar,
There are other options available to you, to resolve this issue.
Firstly, you can manually delete the WBS Element from the table
VSPRPS_CN. There is no report to remove individual records from this
table.
Alternatively, please review note 616732.
This report renames the WBS Element within the table VSPRPS_CN. You
could rename this WBS Element in VSPRPS_CN allowing you to recreate the
operative WBS Element.
Again customers are advised to contact regional support when running the
report ZVERSION_UPDATE to be informed of the following.
Thanks a lot and kind regards,

Cannot change Status of WBS Elements
Hi Guys,
I am trying to change the status of a WBS element. When i try to change the status of the WBS element, I get the message that " THere are still open down payments for the WBS ". What does this actually mean??
I found the downpayment GL and looked for the open items. In the open items i was able to find a line item to which this WBS is attached. Then i tried to go to the document, in which this line item exists. Now in order to clear the open line item with the WBS, how should i clear that line item?? I want to know how to clear the down payment for this WBS or the found out line item.
Thanks.
Kris..Hi,
Run the report S_ALR_87013536 - Plan/Actual/Down Payment as Expense for the particular WBSE that was showing in the error. Here you would see the value of down payment against the WBSE.
Run FBL3N for the down payment G\L by selecting the WBSE from dynamic selection. Here you can get the open line items with WBSE and relavent PO.
For clearing the down payment discuss with your concern MM and FI dept.
Hope this could help you.
