We want to post actual cost through statistical WBS elements.

when we do the posting on Costcenter assigned to a Statistical WBS element (2nd level), I was in the opinion that, the actual cost posted on the Costcenter of statistical WBS (2nd level) will reflect to the top WBS element (which is non-statistical in 1st level).
But, I cannot able to see the actual cost in the 1st level WBS which also a Billing element (with this, finally we want to do the Resource Related Billing).
So expalin me how to bring actual cost posted on the costcenter of a Statistical WBS, to top WBS element which is non-statistical.

U can book the actual cost from Procurement Cycle or by direct Invoice posting using FI transaction.
Procurement Cycle:
When you create PR or PO user Account Assignment Q or P and maintain WBS element. When u do GR or service entry actual cost is captured on the Project (WBS element).
Using FI Transaction:
When there is no PO and to book the cost u can use F-43 to post actual cost (via Invoice) and mention WBS element.
U can check the Actual Cost using Line item report CJI3 or S_ALR_87013532.

Reports to see cost in statistical WBS elements

Hi,
Is there any standard SAP report available to see cost in statistical WBS element?
Aman

Closing the thread. Got answer.

No costs visible statistical WBS element

Hi,
The followin steps are the setup:
- Project with a statistical WBS element and a network below
- Create a PO with Account category "Fixed Asset"
- Fill in a fixed asset, but also a (statistical) WBS element (put fields 'project' and 'network' optional in customizing)
- execute a MIGO to book costs
Now when I run the cost report for this project using transaction CJI3 then I do NOT get the costs visible on this statistical WBS element.
HOWEVER when I do the same steps, but instead of putting a statistical WBS element I put the network (next to the fixed asset) then I do get the costs visible.
Is this normal or do I have to change something in order to get the costs visible for my statistical WBS element?
kindest regards

It is normal

Settlement to cost center posted for statistical WBS element

We have the following scenario
Statistical WBS elements with assigned Cost center posted for actual postings
Network assigned to statistical WBSE and settlement rule on the same WBSE
On settlement run CJ88 the network costs are transferred from network to Cost Center posted in the WBSE.
Issue:
While analysing the active availability control the assigned value is doubled. This happens only of the networks are settled. System considers the Actual values from network + Statistical value from WBSE to caculate the assigned values.
Simulation details as under.
SP-SET-02-3 (wbs element)
    COSS 2011 11 0007101000     0001240704 KOAO D INR                 100.00 INR

Hence the assigned value gets doubled and eating up the budget.
Anyone encountered similar issues pls share the possible solutions.

Report:actual costs:statistical wbs elements and assets assigned to them

Hi all,
I would like to run a report that gave me this info:
WBS Element (all statistical)
Assets assigned to each WBS
Actual costs
It would be perfect CJI3 but it doesn't show assets. In AM I haven't see either any report that shows WBS elements...
any ideas???

Thanks for your reply but this is not the question.
The question is:
Example:
I have 100 WBS Elements. Each of them has an average of 5 assets assigned. (what makes 500 assets)
I post lot of invoices in each asset.
I would like a report that tells me at once the total actual amount posted in each ASSET and group those costs by each WBS element.
Thanks and regards,
Miguel

How to post Actual costs

Dear all,
I have number of activities in that i have costs(activities) planned cost is 1lac. But actual am not able get in project planning board. Plz suggest me how to go further, If i miss actual confirmation somewhere.
Regards,
S.Suresh.

Hi Suresh,
I am posting this again as i typed wrong word for point no 4.
1.If you are using Internal Activity to plan Labor Hours then while confirming the Activity system will post actual cost(Controlling document) .The cost is Secondary cost.
2.For external services it will be after acceptance of service in ML81N.
3.For external services it will be after MIGO.
4.For General Cost activities you cant get costs after confirmation.For that you can post by FB50 or you can post a controlling document also by various CO tcodes(Manual cost allocation) i think tcode is KB15N .

Is this necessary?
Because in the end I want to book these costs as actual costs on my fixed asset...

Validation to post against cost centre OR WBS (but one is required)

I am trying to set up GL accounts so that although cost centre or WBS element is optional, I need to ensure that ONE of these is selected before the item is posted.
I think this means I need to use a validation on the line item, but please could you let me know if you have come across this in the past, and how I should set up the validation.
Many thanks
Anna

The fact that Controlling is activated, When you create a cost element for that G/L account, it will be, by default mandatory to enter a cost object (like cost centre/WBS element etc) before it can be posted. There is no separate validation required.

Project System Cash Management in combination with statistical WBS element

Hi,
within a customer project, we have to solve the following issue:
Customer runs projects and statistical projects in combination with internal orders.
We want to use the PS Cash Management for planned and actual payments.
With statistical projects we have the following problem:
Invoice and actual payments will be processed with the transaction CJFN.
Actual payments are shown only on the internal order (transaction CJIA), but not on the statistical WBS element.
We want the information about the actual payments with in the project system reporting (S_ALR_87013574).
Projects, not flagged as statistical will deliver the expected results.
Many thanks for your ideas, to solve this problem.
Steffen

are u posting to some other cost object also. normally they wud have to be posted to a COPA also with the cost element being 11 category.
the wbs will receive the statistical posting, so there needs to be a real object also.
see whether the real object is getting derived.
the system is nt finding the real object and trying to post with the WBS in real, but since its statistical, the error.
any other calrifications. plz post.
regards
anantha

Statistical WBS Element - do we need to set as Account Assignment Element?

Hi,
I would like to know if I define the WBS element to be statistical (statistical ticked in Control tab) and would want to have posting. Do I need to set it as account assignment element? (I noticed system is not allowing me to post if I do not set it as account assignment element). I want to make sure the actual cost would be be posted to the WBS element as the WBS element should just be statistical in nature.
Please also confirm if I always need to specify actual cost center posted if the statistical field is ticked PRPS-KOSTL.
Thanks!

Yes, so the account assignment should always be ticked if I want to post actual to STATISTICAL WBS Element. Now I would like to confirm if I always need to specify actual cost center posted if the statistical field is ticked PRPS-KOSTL.
Also, I understand that if I run CJI3, for statistical Actuals posted, its value type will be 11 - Statistical Actual instead of 4 - Actual.
Thanks!

GM Derivation strategies (GMDERIVE) using statistical WBS elements

Hi experts!
I have a question related to GM derivation rules.
We need to derive Sponsor program throuhg WBS elements.
These objects are statistical in our system.
I note that SAP R/3 Derivation strategies need actual postings to derive Sponsor Program.
Is it true? What can i do to derive sponsor program from statistical CO objects? Maybe enhancement, function module?
Thanks in advance and best regards

Hi
I did not explain properly. Postings are using cost centres and WBS elements, both in every posting. This means WBS postings are statistical.
As WBS elements correspond to sponsored programs I want to derive sponsored program from WBS. I tested in SAP and Sponsored program is derived from cost centre (actual) and not from WBS (statistical posting).
This means creating dozens of cost centres. Is there any way to derive Sponsored Program using GMderive from WBS elements?? I would like one direct way, assignment or derivation rule. Is it possible. I am afraid that only enhacements or function modules can be used. Has anybody used them for this?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

PM Budget - Statistical WBS element

Hello,
My intention is monitoring the PM budget for a plant by linking every PM order to a statistical WBS element.
After posting on the PM order and performing costplanning via CJ40 i get a overview in transaction: S_ALR_87013543 - Actual/Plan/Variance Absolute/Variance %.
However. Not every PM order shows up in the report. I thought it had something to do with the moment you assign the WBS element to the PM order but this didn't prove to be a valid statement (before or after actual postings on PM order).
I can probably find out by extensive testing, but i was wondering if anybody knows if there are specific rules regaring the usage of statistical WBS elements in PM orders? More specificaly, when the assignment will NOT work and the actual costs will not show up in S_ALR_87013543.
Kind regards,
Peter Hageman

Settling was done towards a Costcenter. The WBS element used is a statistical WBS element, that only can be used for reporting purpose. how the settlement rule is set up doesn't matter in this case.
Issue no longer exists.
Solution was evident. WBS element in the order was stored on the location tab, and in order to use CJI3, you have to link it on the additional data tab...

Line item report on Statistical WBS element.

Hi All,
I need to extract Line report on statistical WBS element. I tried CJI3 and end up with the message No costs, revenues or finances were selected.
can some one help me on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Vinod

Hi,
Please check below:
Table PRPS: Select OBJNR and pass to RPSCO and check if any value exists there. Note down the Value type, Year.
While in CJI3, please check if any dynamic Selection is active, remove all.
if mutliple selection shows any exclusions, remove all.
Posting Data: Remove the values. (Or put from 01.01.1900 to 31.12.9999)
Select the standard SAP Layout (Starting with 1SAP)
Value type=11 should be selected by default (Ensure it is checked)
Hope it helps!
Thank you and Regards,

Report Painter Request - Cost Center and WBS Element

Hi Everyone,
Currently, my company settles all project related expenses through to a cost center by way of an internal settlement cost element (category 21). The issue with this is that when the expense gets to the cost center, they lose all visability as to where the expense originated, such as salaries or travel expense (category 1 cost elements). We can't switch the settlements to the originating cost element from wbs to cost center just because of the additional data/volume that will cause. My thought was to create a report painter that can run by cost center but also show the wbs's that settle to that cost center and group the expenses by primary cost element (cat 1). I'm assuming that there is a way to marry a cost center and wbs element by way of the wbs settlement rule but how would that be done for reporting purposes? I've seen it done before by way of a nightly job that created sets based on the combination of cost center and wbs but I'm not sure how that was done. Any advise and examples?
Example:
Cost Center: IT
WBS: A.0017.01.01 (settles to cost center IT)
Postings made:
1. CC IT and CE 552000 "salaries"..............................$20,000
2. WBS A.0017.01.01 and CE 552000 "salaries"........... $5,000
3. Settlement of WBS to CC (expenses flow through to CC IT by way of CE 985000)
I want to run CC IT and see that the account 552000 really shows $25,000 and can be broken down by cost object (CC and WBS by the amounts above)
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Peter,
I had a similar requirement and used report painter report group 1SHK-002 (in library 1VK).
I took a copy of the standard and ameneded it slightly, I switched the explode so it occured on the cost center not cost element.
The report runs so that direct costs on the cost center are shown at primary cost level. And values settled to the cost center are shown on the partner object. In your case i guess WBS Elements (Partner ObjType WBS).
Now in my case I didnt need cost element breakdown on partner level, just on cost center so effectively I have(sorry for text alignment but I hope you get the idea):
GL1   ............. 100
GL2   ............. 250
+ Cost center1 total ....350
GL3 .............   50
GL4 ............. 100
+ Cost center2 total.... 150
Primary Cost Total ..... 500
X-YZ-1.200 .............   50
X-YZ-1.400 ............. 100
+ WBS total ............. 150
IO 1............. 100
IO 2 ............. 100
+IO total ............. 200
Partner Total............. 350
Overall total ............. 850.
Its not exactly like your requirement but it might be a good report for you to work with to get what you need.
