WBS element naming problem

Hi,
I have created one standard proyect where:
Proj. Def. : Z/123456
WBS element: Z/123456-000-1
Mask: Z/000000-000-0
SD/PS assignmnt: set.
It is working properly, so if I create sales order 356 It creates project Z/000356 and WBS element Z/000356-010-1 for first position, Z/000356-020-1 for second position and so on.
The thing is that I would like these WBS elements to be named in this way:
Z/000356-material_serial_number
or just
material serial number
where material_serial_number is the serial number assigned to the material in the corresponding position in VA01 (there is only 1 unit of this material in each position in the sales order).
How should I proceed??
Thanks in advance.
Luis

SO number would be the numbered to the project def in Assembly Processing, but a material with in a SO cannot be assigned has number to the project def.

Basics: Appropriation Requests and WBS elements (3/3)

Hi,
Last question I promise!
1) Is it possible for more than one appropriation request to point at the same existing project without creating new different project.
As a solution, I though to create empty projects from AR in order to use the values of the program position they are linked to. Is this correct or are there other solutions?
With regards to the link reported below, am I right in assuming that not even the top WBS element (namely InfoSys, refer to graph in link) can be related to a program position in order to exploit the function.. or is it that only the WBS elements directly above and below it (refer to WBS:"software", in the graph) in the hierarchy should not be assigned to a program position to use the function.
Investment Management (IM) - SAP Library
This question refers to <<SAP IM ECC 6.0 SP 16>>
Grazie!
Jessica

Hi Jessica,
Can you point different AR to same project If its the same WBS answer is NO. if these are two separate WBS within the project Yes you can.
so assume you have two Level 1 WBS A and B within project XYZ. Then A can point to AR 1 and B can point to AR2.
But WBS A cannot point to AR1 and AR2. Hope it clears your doubt on 1st Question.
Why you want to do that? Whats the business rationale behind it? Usually AR is used to approve a business investment plan and it will be associated with that particular project. So the best practice in SAP is to have a one to one relationship between AR and SAP Investment Project.
On your understanding of the Graph. You are 100% correct. Neither Inf. Sys nor Software can be assigned to a Program Position ID as the WBS Application is already assigned to a Program position ID.
Hope it helps..

Problem opening Project/WBS Elements in CJ03

Hi Experts,
I have created an interface which posts PROJECT01 Idocs into SAP 6.0. Idocs are posted successfully and I can see Projects/WBS elements in tables PROJ and PRPS.
However, when I try to open a project/wbs through transaction CJ03, it throws short dump mentioning memory overflow. I checked by debugging CJ03 and found that the code is going into infinite loop.
Could anyone help me understand why this kind of problem is coming? What is the reason the code is going into infinite loop? If the project/wbs structure is not getting created properly, how can I check that?
Thanks in advance.
Netrey

The issue is resolved. The structure coming throug Idoc itself was incorrect.

Problem in WBS element search(F4 help)

Hi,
I am facing one problem when I am creating Shopping Cart. when attempting to choose a account assignment, chose WBS Element and then clicked on binocular to search for a WBS #. New screen appears as expected, clicked Start to begin search and screen went back to shopping cart screen without performing search.
I am unable to understand Why this is happening.
Is there any custom module to handle the F4 help for WBS element.Please suggest me the way to fix this.
Regards
Kiran

Hi Saikiran,
RFCUSER is used to perform this search.
You have to swith the user in dialog mode.
Also make sure :
- you have enter the backend destination at the very end of "define backend system" customizing point.
- you have activated the search authorization in PFCG(please refer to posts already answered in this forum)
Kind regards,
Yann

PROBLEM IN WBS ELEMENT

HI Friends,
While creating a sales order after entering the WBS element, I am getting an error Profit Ctr not consistent between Plant and Material/WBS for line item 0010 can somebody throw light and help to solve.
Advance Thanks

Hi,
Please that the material attached to the WBS is being used for the correct plant if it is not extended to the plant which you are using, then pls get it extended by the MM guys.

Problem issueing material from one WBS element to another

Hi Guys,   This is my first post so be kind.
Our projects during their life cycle change their WBS element sub number.   Example New project starts with WBS element # E.7029.00.010 at some point in the project it moves on to the next level and the WBS element changes to E.7029.00.020 later in the project it will again change to E.7029.00.030. Ok you get the idea.
Now the problem.   When the project is at the .020 level we purchase inventory and recieve it into project inventory under the WBS elemement E.7029.00.020.
Now the project has moved on to E.7029.00.030 and we want to create a production order to make a prototype. The WBS element for the production order is E.7029.00.030 but the inventory is still under WBS element E.7029.00.020. When we go to issue the material to the job it says there is none in inventory under WBS E.7029.00.030. Which is right it is all under E.7029.00.020.
Is there a way that we can store the inventory under E.7029.00 and be able to issue it to any sub group of E.7029.00 so that it would not matter if the current WBS is E.7029.00.020 , E.7029.00.030 or E.7029.00.050?
Since our BOM's can be quite extensive and often contain a large number of new components this would be of great assistance.
Thanks for your time and consideration.

The project moves on to another stage.   During the development of new products the project goes through several stages before the new product is released for production and sales.   For example:
Stage 10 - concept
Stage 20 - initial design
Stage 30 - design refinement
Stage 40 - Bata testing
Stage 50 - Final design
Stage 60 - Production process design
At each of stages 20 - 50 changes to the BOM can occur. Material would be purchased at stage 20 and could continue to be used through the rest of the stages including after release to production.   But if the material is purchased during stage 20 then it sits in inventory under the WBS element ending in 020 but when the project moves on to the next stage the material will be used to produce prototypes for stages 30 - 60 as long as the material is included in the BOM at that time.

Problem while creating WBS elements using LSMW

Hello experts,
I am able to create Project Definitions using LSMW. (using recording)
But there is a problem while creating WBS elements.
Tcode CJ20 has table control and that will become problem for multiple rows (levels).
Can anyone suggest a solution to mass upload WBS elements?
Thanks for your valuable advice.

Hi,
Instead of using "BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN", use following solution. We are using this solution and it is working pretty good.
If the WBS element is already created and you want to create one more with same data, first get the WBS related information using BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO as you are doing currently.
I am using different sets of BAPIs to create project, create / change WBS element.
I use function module from Function group CJ2001 ( Project related BAPIs ), CJ2054 ( WBS related BAPIs ) and PS_BAPI ( pre/post processing BAPIs ). There are specific order in which you need to execute these BAPIs.
For example if you want to create / change the WBS element, the BAPIs sequence is:
1. BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION
2. BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI ( to create WBS )
or
2. BAPI_BUS2054_CHANGE_MULTI ( to change WBS )
3. BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT
4. BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
Check the documentation of BAPI "BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI " to see how these function modules work.
Let me know if you need further information.

Problem in MRP run with Project/WBS Element

Dear PP Gurus,
I want to run MRP thro Project/WBS Element.
I have created WBS Element & WBS BOM for Material. Then created sales order for that material and assign WBS element to sales order.
Maintain Planning Strategy 21 ( Make to Order/Project) for Main Mtl.
Now when I run MRP with MD51 then no requriements are generated for main material and its components.
Is there any thing missing from PS-PP & SD point of view?
Pl guide me for the same.
Thanks in Advance.
Umesh

Dear Nagrajan,
Thanks for your reply.
There is no safety stock & un-restricted stock of that material.
Also I don't want to assign this mtl to that wbs Network. If I assign the Material to WBS network then network req.is generated and thro Normal MD02 MRP generates the requirements.
& in the plan order it will not show WBS Element
But My req. is I want to run MRP with MD51 & want WBS element as account asignment tab in plan order & production order too.
IS there any config. missing from PP/ PS / SD ?
Pl guide me for the same.
Thanks ,
Umesh

Problem in loading multiple lev1 and multiple lev2 WBS elements in projects

Hi guys,
I've a requirement to load (from file) projects with multiple level 1 and multiple level 2 WBS elements. I'm using CJ01 recording to load projects in step 1 and it loads all the projects successfully.
Next I need to load WBS elements of level 1 & level 2 under each projects and also level 1 & level 2 must be linked correctly. Now in this step what I'm doing is that am doing the CJ02 recording to load WBS elements (irrespective of levels) under each projects. But as in the data file, the sequence of WBS records are not guarranteed to be in the exact sequence of hierarchy of WBS elements, what's happening is that though WBS elements are getting loaded successfully, but level 1 & 2 are not getting linked to each other correctly. So the hierarchy is broken. Please help how to resolve this issue like how to design the LSMW correctly.
Alternatively we can use CJ20N for loading the correct hierarchy but here we need to select correct project/level 1/leve2 etc which is difficult in case if a project doesn't have level 2 or level 1.
Please suggest the easiest design.
Cheers guys.

Hi,
You have to use levels in recording.
I think using CJ01 only you can upload all the projects with hierarchy.
Just arrange the file records accordingly;
Level 1----
WBSE 1
Level 2----
WBSE 1.1
Level 2----
WBSE 1.2
Level 2----
WBSE 1.3
Level 1----
WBSE 2
Level 2----
WBSE 2.1
Level 2----
WBSE 2.2
Level 2----
WBSE 2.3
Now, hierarchy will be correct.

Harsh.

Problem in catching the User status of a WBS Element

Hi All,
 In CJ20n transaction we need to catch the User status for a particular WBS element when it gets changed to 'Technically Completed(TECO)' so that we can create an asset.
 At present we are using the method 'AT_SAVE' of the BADI 'WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE' in which we are unable to catch the user status since the user status is not getting updated in the JEST table at that time.
 We have tried calling a function module in Update task but in that also the JEST table is not getting updated.
Please provide us the solution.
Thanks and Regards,
 Siva

Hi Siva,
Try the following BADIs
WBS_FIELDS_FOR_ASSET
WBS_MULTIPLE_ECP
If these do not solve your purpose, then there is a work around..
1). Goto the transaction CJ20n -> goto the User Status Screen -> On the User Status check box press F1 -> Goto technical information. Get the Structure and field name of the Status.
2). This structure will be filled up with the current value during the program execution. You can get the value from this Structure.
Hope it helps...

Problems deleting WBS elements

Hi,
I'm trying to delete a number of WBS elements via CJ20N and I'm presented with an error message as follows:
"There are CATS records that have not yet been tran"
(Message no. CJ001)
I'm not sure exactly what this means or how to get around it (or even view the offending records) - Any ideas?
We are using WBS elements to capture project costs from Timesheets using CAT2.
I'm guessing that I need to transfer the postings against the WBS that I want to delete to another WBS - What transaction is used to do this?
Any pointers or advice will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
You can use transaction CJ88 to settel the wbs element.
Award points if useful.
Thanks & Best regards,
Subbu.

WBS element field mandatory for specific sales order

Hi Friends,
I want to make the WBS element field in sale order line item to be mandatory for a specific sales order type. I am not able to add this field in incompletion log also. So can anyone let me know the solution for this.
Ratna

Hi,
As solution suggest above is correct use VBAP table and Field is PS_PSP_PNR into ur incompletion log and assign this procedure to ur Item category. And If u want to WBS element check at header level the use VBAK table and field PS_PSP_PNR and assign this incompletion log to ur sales document type.
Once more setting is required to stop the order from saving if incompletion check is unsucessful, for that you need to check a checkbox named "Incomplete. Message" in VOV8 tcode, for ur perticular sales document types.
Hope this will resolve ur problem.
