Workforce Cost Planning and Simulation

I would appreciate any documentation for Workforce Cost Planning on ECC6 such as training manuals, configuration documents etc.
Thanks Christine

Hi,
Yes, you can manage multiple currencies in PCP. You should specify desired currency during planning, as a rule exchange rate M is used, but you can change it if you wish.
For S_ALN_01001359 probably you do not have to change anything, for S_ALN_01001361 you have to consider different approach, i.e. use positions for data collection, because you cannot assign many IT 1005 (using different curencies) to the same job. Also you can consider using average amounts in IT 1005 with unified currency, but it makes a very little business sense as salaries are different among countries.
Cheers!

  • Missing iviews for Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation

    Hi,  We are implementing "Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation" in R/3 version 5(mySAP ERP). At present we have the following Business packs in our Enterprise Portal Server. 60.1.5 and 60.1.1(mySAP ERP 2004). We uploaded both the BP's in our test environment to make sure we get all the iveiws that we need.
    SAP presentation has all the iviews, But we are unable to locate/identify under MSS the iviews for "Web Based Detail Planning for Line Managers",  "Detail Planning:  Detail Costs per Cost Object" and so forth for Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation component.
    We researched other BP's such as 50.4.5 and 50.3.9 but in vain.
    We truly appreciate if some can guide us to get these iviews.

    Finally I got the answer and thought I can share this with you all.....
    For Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation, SAP has not delivered mss iViews, but SAP has realized the detail planning pages for the line manager and the personnel cost planner by using the Business Server Page (BSP) "hrhcp_planning".
    You can find the description of it's usage in the online documentation under the following path:
    Human Resources>Personnel Management>Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation-->Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation Flow -->Creating Personnel Cost Plans
    --> Providing Detail Planning for Line Managers
    --> Detail Planning by Line Managers
    --> Detail Planning by the Personnel Cost Planner
    If you wish to use the detail planning page in an mss environment, you can integrate the BSP as an external service into the manager's portal. Otherwise, you can also use it, by providing the URL to the managers.

  • Doubts - PCP/PCPS - Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation

    Hi gurus,
    How are you? I hope you are very well.
    Currently I'm working in PCP and Simulation implementation project. Actually, in our case, the client is using the old component PCP and would like to implementing the new one.
    Basically, we have the following scenario here: They have two tables for store some premisses (T511K and P) and, before the scheduled period for PCP execution, they run a simulated Payroll in order to generate calculated values for the future, it means, the values from payroll are calculated for the next year and the payroll rules uses these mentioned tables to change the values in specific months of the next year. Confused? I agree, but it can become worst...
    After this execution, the calculated data are stored in logical DB PCL5 and can be used by PCP process. According the payroll responsable told me, each wage type will be associated automaticlly(How???) in a cost item and these meintioned cost items are used during the PCP running. In this current version of PCP, they do not use values associated to Organizational Elements, but they would like to use this from now on although they do not use infotypes 1005 or 1015.
    So, I have a lot of doubts related to two specific points:
    - Wage Types x Cost Itens: Could I keep all the current cost itens without associate each of these to a simbolic account? Is this association mandatory or can I create cost itens just collecting data from PCL5, for example? Does exists any standard collector for PCL5? If I need to create new simbolic accounts specifics for PCP, how can I do this in order to the real payroll do not be affected by these changes?
    - Organizational Elements: Wich infotypes are mandatory? Are there any kind of collector that uses an occupied position as a template for a vacant position, I mean, can I use a hold position to find calculated values for a Person that is associated to this position and populate a similar vacant position? If is it posible, does exists something standard for providing this solution?
    I would appreciate if you could help me. I have been reading many materials from SAP, but unfortunally these practical questions was not answered for me yet.

  • Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation - Detail Planning

    Hi,
    I am trying to access the PCP Detail Planning  (t-code PHCPDETL) and for any of the Plan I choose it gives me the following error:
    No Object exist in your area of responsibility
    No data exists for the objects you are responsible for
    We are on SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4.
    Many Thanks
    Asim Khan

    Hi Asim,
    First of all check note 736170 and see if you have sugeested SP implemented in your system.
    Also check if your cost plan has the 'Detail Planning Possible' date filled in.
    Then check if Badi HRHCP00_RESP_OBJECTS is activated in your system. If it is, then make
    sure you regenerate the Badi definition for checking the resposible objects in SE18. The problem
    might be another Badi active here instead of the one I mentioned.
    Also check IMG - Cost Plan Runs - Badi Specify Authorizations & Objects in Area
    of Responsibility if badi is activated. Do a test - see if you get this error if you deactivate it.
    Make sure configuration for the BSP application is OK and if PHCPDETLC is called properly?
    Note 592085 can be also handy.
    Kind regards,
    Andrzej

  • BADI in Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation

    Hi experts,
    I implement the BADI: Derive a Valuate Cost Item (Method
    CHANGE_DERIVED_COSTITEMS) and change some values for some cost items (for example bonus). Now I have the problem that after running the BADI the conditioned cost item values is not calculated again.
    For example the social payroll taxes is conditioned from the normal earnings and for example from the bonus.
    But I calculate the bonus primal in the BADI.
    Does someone know how to update the social payroll taxes automtically after running the BADI?
    thanks
    Alex

    Hi Alex,
    I am also going to implement the same BADI , but please can you tell me when this BADI is called liked when which transaction we execute.
    Because i need to valuate cost items which are not possible to derive with standard functionality.
    Because i dont have any experience with BADIs , it would be great if you can help me a bit.
    thanking you in advance.

  • SAP BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation)

    Hi All,
    Can anybody tell me, what will be the impact on SAP BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation) after upgradation fron SAP BW 3.5 to SAP BI 7.0.
    or what all care need to be taken before upgradation?
    Regards,
    Prateek

    Please allow me this opportunity to point out that "upgradation" and "updation" are not real words. The correct terms are "upgrade" and "update".
    Seems trivial, but I've seen them make their way into names of workflow steps and class methods.
    Yes, English is not logical!
    creation - yes
    deletion - yes
    updation - no   It's update.

  • Personnel Cost Planning Authorization against planning context.

    Hi Experts,
    I have a query regarding the authorization against a Planning Context in Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation.
    How can we set a autoziation against the Planning Context in PCP. So that a given Planning specialist is prevented from viewing the planning details of other planning specialist.
    I checked the standard object PLOG and PLOG_CON, both seemed to not to be of any help.
    Have any one come across this scenario.
    Thanks,
    Arun.

    Hi Alex,
    I am not very sure about Personnel Cost Planning,
    But an approach I have used in the past when exploring a module about which there is limited documentation or SAP standard model roles is to
    1) Switch on Trace using ST01.
    2) Carry out a series of transcations using a user id which has a lot of authorizations or SAP_ALL.
    3) Anlayse the trace document and identify all the authorization object.
    4) BUild a new role with the auth objects and assign to test user id.
    5) test and confirm that the authorizations are not too many or too less.
    A time consuming but thorough approach.
    hope this helps.

  • Integration between Budgeting and Personnel cost planning

    Respect to all HCM consultants,
    I am working on personnel cost planning and compensation management. I would like to use the value of personnel cost planning scanarios on approval as the value for budget. in other words i want to integrate PCP and budgeting. if some one could help me out, will be highly appreciated.
    I don't have experience in integration at all.

    this option of PCOST is already there in standard system.
    so what do i have to do . should i leave it as well and make release one PCP scenario and from there budget will automatically be created or what?
    one more thing is the point of contact between these two sub modules is Cost centre ???

  • Difference between COPC planning and cost object controlling

    I want to know why do we have to calculate the cost of a manufactured product by both COPC planning and Cost object controlling by order?
    Will the cost of a manufactured product be different in COPC planning method and cost object controlling method?
    if we use only cost object controlling to calculaute the cost of a manufactured product without using COPC planning wht will be the implications?

    Raja,
    Yes the cost can be different. The cost calculating thorught Product Cost Planning may be static, you calculate it by period it is more for planning prupose ans to set standard. The cost calculated through Cost Object Controlling is resulting from your actual transactions, and the are few variables that could increase or decrease the cost of product. For example the overhead cost (Increase of salaries) can directly affect your activity rate at the work center and impact cost of your product when the production order is complete. You need both costs (Cost Planning and Cost Object releated) so at the end of the period you can calculate variance betweeen your plan cost and your actual costs.
    Hope this clarifies your doubts.

  • Easy Cost Planning & Project Stock

    Dear Experts,
    I am using Easy cost planning for WBS cost planning and Project definition control data tab page has Valuated Project stock selected.My costing model had an external procurement material for which I generated PR & PO thru Execution services.But the account assignment in my PR & PO was P with the corresponding WBS as account assignment and not Q.
    I have two question regarding this,
    1) Does it mean that while using ECP, Project stock concept will not work?
    2)How can we get the pop up of procurement type options(like Res + PR for WBS element) while generating PR through execution services?

    Hi,
    I am replying again because in my last answer there was some typing mistake.
    Hi,
    I tried your scenario is my system.
    whenever i am changing P to Q in Config in SPRO,It is giving an error that "The selected account assignment category is not supported" that means it is not meant for Q but i double click for object type PR WBS Element and changed Acct Assgmt Cat to Q then system allowed me to save.
    The i create a PR and WBSE is coming in the Account Assignement ,then i converted PR to PO and then i recived goods as project stock.when i issued the material in ECP it is not issuing from Project stock because 221 Q is not present in Config for SPRO so it is issuing from Normal stock so special stock from ECP is not supported.
    But you can manually issue the material to the WBSE in MIGO/MB1A by 221 Q.
    Hope it is clear.

  • 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
    shashank

    Hi...
    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
