WIP and COS calculation in Project Systems

I am trying to determine WIP and COS using KKAJ. WIP always returns 0 while COS returns the totaled planned cost as COS. I cannot figure out why this is so. Any ideas what I should change to correctly calculate COS and WIP? I have already maintained a result analysis key.

Hi,
Posting to FI happens during settlement and you need to maintain the "posting rules" for this in RA configuration. As for WIP calculation, it should happen during RA itself. You should be able to see the calculated costs, calculated revenue etc during RA (KKA2 or kKAJ). The same will be used during the WBS Settlement. And the calculation need not wait until TECO. Check the valuation method settings for status dependant settings.

Advanced Calculation Options and Assignments Calculating Erratically - Project Professional 2013

I have run into something strange in Project Professional 2013 when dealing with the Advanced Calculation Options and Assignment % Work Complete, and I believe that it is a bug.
I will demonstrate in a simple example.
Open a Brand New Project.
Create a single Auto Scheduled Task with Two Resources. (I used Tom and Jerry.) Give it a couple weeks of duration (I gave mine 10 days)
Go to the Options, Advanced Page, and Select the Move end of completed parts after status date back to status date option.
Set a status date a few days after the task start date.
Now, Go to the Task Usage View. Add a % Work Complete Column, and an Actual Work Row.
Save that so that you can load it from scratch.
Now for the inconsistent Part:
First, Try entering 25% for the Task's % Work Complete.
Everything is correct, right? But let's say that Jerry actually had completed 30% of his task. Change Jerry's to 30%.
This is correct also. But I was talking about assignment management, not task management.
So, lets try it that way. Click on Undo a few times or just reload the file you saved to get back to the first state. If you undo, make sure that you don't undo your status date or Advanced Calculation Setting.
This time, instead of entering a Task % Work complete, enter Assignment % Work Completes of 25% for Tom and 30% for Jerry.
Notice that the moment you enter the 25% for Tom, it has moved Jerry's start date. Also, when you enter 30% for Jerry, it ignores max units from the resource sheet and calendar for Jerry.
It should be using the calendar and backing the units for Jerry toward the start of the task. But it doesn't. What it does is move the start date for Jerry's Assignment to the day before the status date, and then, because it has zeroed the Work for the earlier
days, ignores them (and the calendar and max units) when it starts to assign the work before the status date, and assigns the actual work based on the weighted work scheduled for those days, resulting in the above.
The main problem with this is: It shouldn't be moving the starting date for the other assignment at all. If it didn't, the outputs would be the same. I believe that what is actually happening is when a % Work Complete is changed for an assignment,
the entire task is being re-evaluated, and all assignments are being evaluated also. Note that this happens even if you have the setting Calculate project after each edit set to Off. What should be happening is that only the assignment changed should be evaluated,
and the task updated with that information.
Has anyone else had trouble with this, or no? Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior, or is the explanation that the dev team didn't implement assignment calculation correctly for these advanced calculation types? Is this a valid bug, or am I
missing something? If so, how does it get reported? We do have the work around, entering the task value first, but that seems a bit clunky. They should both be exactly the same, without moving the start date, or ignoring max units and calendars for the
resources.
Any insight?

I understand Project as follows:
The move task advanced option is in fact for users that are only going to add a % complete to a task. This at least makes sure there is no incomplete work in the past and no completed work in the future. As you know % complete on its own is a low maturity,
poor option for updating.
If updating assignments (good on you) then don't use the move option and enter actual start, actual work and remaining work or enter actual hours in the timephased part of a usage view.

Project System - Master datasource

Hi BW Experts,
I am little confused about WBS Element (PSPNR and POSID). For Project System related reports, the most of the time common field is used as PSPNR. I have checked in all the datasources and it is not found.
Can you briefly explain what is the difference between PSPNR and POSID. And how to use PSPNR in BW..
Please suggest me..
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Jelina.

Please check table PSPR in ECC. There you will find the values. PSPNR is WBS Element Number whereas POSID is WBS Element Name. You will find some clue there.

Aggregating SD and Project Systems data

Hi,
We are using Project systems and SD in R3 and I have 0PS_C04 activated for standard PS reporting. I now need to combine the PS orders and also the SD orders and report on the orders, costs and all create a common report.
Also, this report needs to have the customer information too.
Any help on this would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Vin

Manga,
The datasources are:
1. 0CO_OM_NWA_1
2. 0CO_OM_NWA_2
3. 0CO_OM_WBS_1
4. 0CO_OM_WBS_3
I have managed to get the customer data loaded based on the project name in the WBS.
Now the only challenge is to get the sales order loaded onto the same cube with the shipping and billing information to reflect the revenue and costs.
Thanks,
Vinay

Interface between Microsoft Project and SAP Project Systems

Hi,
When we update SAP Project systems from Microsoft Project, our users want to swap values between project nodes id and description. Is this possible? Which BAPIs are used by OpenPs? I am trying to find a user-exit where I can swap these values.
Thanks in advance.

XRPM, cProjects and Project Systems link in BI

Hi Guys,
We are implementing a RPM solution in our BI 7.0 system. We have a requirement where we need to link RPM data with cProjects(Project, Task) and Projects Systems (Status, WBS Elements, so on) data.
Could some one give me the links/documents related to linking the above objects.
Thanks in advance
Srinivas.

Hi Neelam:
Check Project system tables like PROJ etc and create a View for the fields you want.
Use this View as your datasource to extract data.

CProjects - Project Systems Linking and other features

Dear All,
              I need inputs on how to integrate cProjects with Project Systems. Also i need information on the what are all the information we can integrate between these two.
              One more important thing is i am seeing the Services, Details Data and Controlling links in My cProjects system. Where as i found Account Assignment, Costing links in one screenshot of Documents. And both are for cProjects 4.0. Why this difference is showing up
              And one generic question is, what is the requirement for these kind of scenarios. And pros and Cons of both the systems.
regards,
rajesh.
Edited by: Guest on Feb 14, 2008 5:59 PM

Hi Srini,
Thanks very much for the links. However, I've already gone through the standard documentation in SAP and they are a bit too high level/vague for me. I have considerable experience in xRPM, cProjects Suite and have good grasp of project management concepts, tool and techniques. My knowledge of PS is somewhat limited though.
What I am specifically looking for is what type integration options and scenarios are available. For example, cProjects can have phases and tasks defined. How would these integrate with for example WBS elements and networks in PS? What are the things you would do in cProjects and not PS and vice versa? Hope my question is clearer now.
Appreciate any further information you may have on the above.
Thanks,
Lashan

HT4848 Hello- My laptop needs the OS X recovery run. Can I download the software directly to a thumb drive without affecting my desktop unit? The Geek Squad said they need to wipe my hard drive and re-install the operating system. Thanks.

Hello- My laptop needs the OS X recovery run. Can I download the software directly to a thumb drive without affecting my desktop unit? The Geek Squad said they need to wipe my hard drive and re-install the operating system. Thanks.

They already damaged you Mac by fooling with the BootCamp partition without knowing what they were doing. I wouldn't suggest haveing them help you do anything.
Here is the article that describes the Recovery HD: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
First, see if you can boot into the Recovery HD. Restart and hold down cmd-r until you see the gray screen. It should boot into Recovery. If your Mac shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, it will boot into Internet Recovery if it cannot boot into the Recovery HD on the hard drive.
They should have tried this at the store.

Can different working calendars be set and used in Project system

Actually we are going through implementation of SAP Project system, i would like to ask whether there is an option in SAP PS to set different working/factory calendars and use them for individual activity like Primavera. Because at some places there is 5 days working and at places 6 says working. Also holidays are different for different people/places. A uniform calendar for all activities can spoil the schedule of project in regard of planned finish dates when one enters a certain duration.
Kindly clarify this for me
Regards.

Hi Abdul,
As a reference, go through this thread,
Factors Influencing Scheduling - Dates - SAP Library
In addition to this and as mentioned above by Saurabh, there are some good threads available that talk about this. The threads carry a good amount of information and am sure it will help you.
Please search the forum.

Diff between 0PS_C02 and 0PS_C021(project system cubes)

Hello experts,
Please let me know the difference between above cubes for project systems in terms one says 'Dates(Identification Using External ID)' and the second one says 'Dates(Identification using GUID)'
Regards
Shanthi

0PS_C02 - Dates(Identification Using External ID)
0PS_C021 - Dates(Identification using GUID)
Difference is - In New Content 0PS_C021 BW Can uniquely identify a PS Object using GUID which cannot be changed as External ID which was changeable.
"As of BI Content 3.5.3 Add-On SP2, the Business Content for the Project System (PS) has been redesigned so that an SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) system can uniquely identify a PS object (for example, a project definition or a WBS element) using the object's GUID instead of its external ID. The advantage of using the GUID is that it cannot be changed in an SAP system, whereas the external ID can be changed. Previously, if a user changed the external ID of an existing PS object in an SAP system and then uploaded the object to SAP BW, the SAP BW system would create new records for this object instead of updating the existing records. Using the GUID therefore improves the consistency and correctness of reporting in SAP BW for the Project System. "
