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.
Thanks,

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.

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

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

CProjects and Sales Order link

Hi,
We are currently using cProjects for the purpose of Resource allocation. As a part of process, projects are primarily created in SAP and they automatically gets created in cProjects. However, the management has now decided to use it for tracking Revenues against these projects. I have done the necessary changes in the Object Link and the Sales Orders can now be searched manually at all the levels i.e the Project Definition, Phase and the Task level. However, can somebody let me know that
How can all the Sales Orders created in SAP automatically gets. linked with the cProjects in EP.
Secondly, currently all Sales Orders can be linked to any cProjects irrespective of the fact whether the Sales Order carries that particular project or not. Is there a check that only line items with the relevant WBS gets linked in cProjects.
Waiting for your reply at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav

Hi,
it is possible to update the object link automatically with a newly created sales order....however, you have to more or less build this yourselves...
(we have this working in our own RPM 4.5 system!)

Miel

New Blogs: Asset Accounting and Project Systems

There are two new blogs out this month in the ERP space.
Dominic Nadeau has blogged about a useful tcode in PS to track changes to a project.
/people/dominic.nadeau/blog/2008/06/09/fields-in-problem-in-a-project
I've written a blog on the Schedule Manager Monitor. I've given an example related to Asset Accounting but it works for most all areas in FI/CO.

When you create the WBS in will create from there an AUC. In the auc in the tab origin you see the project number.
When you settle it from the AUC (in PS) to the final asset you found the AUC number back in the asset tab origin. You can click to on the posting on the asset

Contracts and project systems

Hi,
I would like to know how a contract can be created in relation to a project if possible?
Thanks,
Paula.

Hi Paula,
If you want to create a contract on a project (OTP element), you just have to select the account assignment type "P" at line item of the contract. You will then be able to fill in the WBS element.
Kind regards,
Yann

User exit for Previous and current system status for 5 transactions

Hi Experts
My Objective to capture the Previous and current status of system status for 5 transactions in their user exits .
Description                                         Business Object               Transaction
Production Order operations              BUS2005                            CO02 to edit Production Order
Maintenance Orders                           BUS2007A                         IW32 to edit Plant Maintenance Order
INTernal   ORDER                                 BUS2075                          KO02 to edit Internal Order

Activities Network
For Both Production order and   Project System Network Activities Network    ,
i got User exit " EXIT_SAPLCOBT_001 "
But i am not sure whether we can use this or not for our purpose . When i am changing status and then saving , my break point comes to EXIT_SAPLCOBT_001 .
But can we capture   JEST   or   JCDS related data   in that user exit or How can we capture both Previous status and Current ( Means New changed status ) . For eg From Released   to   Technically complete   etc.
I want Status changed and its immedtiate previous status.
Do i need to check Exit or BADI before and after Saving .
Thanks
Regards
Gaurav

Hi Himanshu
Many Thanks for the reply .
I also had some other processing needs to be done on the basis of those status. .
So do you have any idea or how to find what all exits or BADIs i can use for all of these 5 transactions , where
i can get data for JCDS ( or JEST ) .
CO02 to edit Production Order
IW32 to edit Plant Maintenance Order
KO02 to edit Internal Order
CJ02 To edit the WBS element
CN22 to edit Network
can we use   EXIT_SAPLCOBT_001 for    CO02 and CN22   .

Budgeting and control system

friends,
we implemented fi, co, mm, sd, pp and project systems. we want to implement budgeting and control system. what is the exact flow of BCS in between these modules,
regards,

Hi,
Prepare Funds Management Installation
When implementing the Funds Management Government component, you should take care to carry out the individual steps in a particular order. You enter the required preconfigurations and functions at different points in the SAP System.
So when implementing Funds Management, you should observe the following sequence:
1. You use the "Enterprise Structure" to create company codes, FM areas, and controlling areas. For more information, see the Enterprise structure IMG in sections:
a) "Define, Copy, Delete, Check Company Code"
b) "Maintain FM Area"
c) "Define, Copy, Delete, Check Controlling Area"
2. You then assign an FM area to each company code and controlling area relevant to Funds Management.
For more information, see sections:
a) Assign company code to FM area
b) Assign controlling area to FM area
3. You create your G/L accounts in the General Ledger Accounting menu. For more information, read the chapter: Create G/L accounts in the G/L accounting IMG (FI-GL) under G/L account master records.
4. Use Financial Accounting customizing to maintain the field status definition groups. These determine which fields in the account can accept input, must be maintained, or are hidden, when you are entering business transactions. For more information, read: "Maintain field status variants" in the Financial Accounting Basic Settings.
Note that the additional account assignments "Commitment item", "Funds center" and "Fund" will only accept input if you mark the relevant fields as required or optional entries. This applies, however, only to G/L accounts whose commitment items are assigned with the 30 such as a revenue account. G/L accounts whose commitment items are assigned with a transaction other than 30 should have the error hidden.
If you want to reference earmarked funds when posting a payment, you must define the additional account assignment "Earmarked funds" as a required or optional entry.
5. Likewise, for Materials Management purchase requisition and purchase order postings which do not go into stock, you must flag the "Commitment item", "Funds center" and "Fund" fields as required or optional entries in order to be able to make entries in them. You can find more information in the Purchasing IMG in section "Maintain account assignment types" .
6. If you want to integrate inventory management with Funds Management, there are different ways of controlling this, depending on the warehouse concept you chose. For more information, go to the Funds Management IMG and read sections Make Other Settings and Integration with Inventory Management.
7. If you want to integrate Assets Accounting, you must go to the Funds Management implementation guide and flag as budget relevant the transaction types for the individual transactions (acquisitions and retirements). You can find more information in the IMG Funds Management Government in the section Flag Transaction Types as Budget Relevant.
8. If you want to integrate Payroll Accounting with Funds Management, you must define funds centers and funds for the individual Infotypes. For more information, see the Funds Management IMG Funds Management Government in the section "Define Start Date for HR Integration (Without HR Commitments Scenario 2)".
9. If you want to integrate Travel Management with Funds Management, the "funds center", "commitment item" and "fund" fields must be ready to accept input when you post in Travel Expense Accounting. You enter these settings in the Travel Management IMG Dialogue and settlement control -> Screen layout for trip data input -> Set up variable construction for account assignment objects.
10. You switch to the Funds Management application menu, create your master data (commitment items, funds centers and funds) and then define your account assignment derivation.
For more information on account assignment derivation in Funds Management, see component Funds Management (PSM-FM) under Account Assignment Derivation as well as section Define Account Assignment Derivation.
For more information on creating master data, see the component Master data in the componentFunds Management (PSM-FM).
11. You can then subsequently make the remaining settings via the Funds Management implementation guide. For more information, read the following chapters.
Further notes
The Funds Management application component can not be used simultaneously with the components Cash Budget Management and/or Project Cash Management if you use year-dependent master data in Funds Management.
If you want to use Funds Management with Cash Budget Management and/or Project Cash Management you must note that Cash Budget Management and Project Cash Management only process 10 character commitment items.
Regards,
Eli

Re: Internal Order & Project system

Dear All,
Please can one give brief explanation of internal Order and Project system.
1) What is the major difference Internal Order and Project system.
why some companies use Internal Order
why some coompanies use Project system.
Thanks in advace
Venkat.

Dear Venkat,
Internal Order is Sub-module of controlling whereas Project System is entire module in SAP.
Internal Order will provide information related to cost posted to the order, budget, commitments etc. And in Project system module you can create various projects to analyze company's profitability.
Substitution between Internal Order and Project system is highly depends upon the size of the Project. Many companies may be using internal order instead of Project in order to trap the cost.
Project system will provide every minute information pertaining to the project. Whereas internal order will not be able dole out.
Companies in Real Estate can not substitute Internal Order with that of Project system. Project System module is both heart and brain for Real Estate industry. And companies in other Industries having small value and size of project can use internal order instead of Project system.
To conclude, Internal Order is narrow concept where Project System is an Ocean

General Info on integration between Project Systems (PS) and cProjects

Hi,
I would like some general info on the integration scenarios between PS and cProjects. Links to any documentation/blogs on this would also be very helpful.

Linking of cproject & project system

hi guru
Can somebody please let me know the the Configuration steps & the entire process of linking Projects created in Project Systems & cProjects? How can we view the Projects in cProjects which we create in PS and vice versa? Waiting for your reply at earliest.

Hi

Difference between SAP cProjects and SAP Project System

Hi,
SAP already has a solution PS ( Project System ) for managing the projects in an Organization.
When there is a solution already existing then why did SAP come up with a new solution cProjects ?
Can any help me in understanding the main differences and advantages between cProjects and PS ?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Priyatham

Hi.
I have copied an SAP text below which sets PS, cProjects, (x)RPM and PPM into context.
In the ninties, the Project System was developed within SAP R/3 to provide a powerful application with full integration into logistics and financials.
Target groups were industries such as engineering and construction, automotive, high tech or utilities with focus on project manufacturing or large maintenance projects.
Later on, the need for more flexible and easy-to-use tools supporting the new process methodologies, phased-based approaches, quality gates, and so on, emerged. SAP developed Collaboration Projects and Collaboration Folders (cProjects Suite), which takes these new requirements into account and provides extensive features to collaborate with internal and external partners using a HTML-like interface and Web Application Server technology.
Thus, cProjects was able to address to a broader range of industries, such as service providers, offering a high degree of visibility and flexibility to support various scenarios from product development to consulting projects. Nevertheless, cProjects is seen as a complementary product to Project System, not as ist successor!
It always depends on the scenario that a customer wants to cover, which application is the best choice.
As another matter of fact, combinations of both are also possible.
In addition to this, the new generation of composite applications was born and SAP xApp for Resource and Portfolio Management provides excellent capabilities to align operational project management with strategic portfolio management.
The latest developments bring all these three applications tighter together and offers a comprehensive solution for project and portfolio management by covering logistical, financial and human resource aspects and addressing the needs of all stakeholders throughout the entire organisation.
However, xRPM capabilities are not only restricted to project portfolios but can be leveraged to control all kind of portfolio items.
