Dividing one project to many projects

Dear PS experts,    

 

     We are implementing a construction project and I am confusing a bout handling a project with the case of the customer.
the customer has a department of electricity work and he wants to handle the electricity work in an independent project from the main project.

 

for example :

 

we have a project 
        villa X  (main project):
                      wbs element skeleton:
                                    service activities with vendor

                      WBS element plumbing work :
                                     service activities with vendors

                      WBS element electrical work :
                                     internal activities.

 

the customer want to make :
             electrical Work (project with another project profile):
                     WBS element electrical work for Villa X:
                                 internal activities.
                     WBS element electrical work for Villa Y:

                                  internal activities.

 

his purpose of doing that:
1- monitor the electrical projects independently to make a good evaluation and best analysis of the electrical services and can choose another Vendor to make the service if he has a best offer of doing electrical work for specific Villa.

2- A good resources management Way to the electrical Work by the electrical manager.
3- Independent budget for the electrical project.

4- make a progress analysis for the electrical WBS  in Villa X project by the project manager.

 

I told the customer that it's not a professional way to handle the projects and by this we will duplicate the cost of the activities for the electrical Work in the main project and the electrical project but he want to handle the projects by this way.

Is there a perfect solution to handle the projects in two projects.

Optimize Selection Variant for Progress Analysis

October 20, 2015, 12:12 pm

Hi Experts,

 

We have a certain selection variant for progress analysis being used in background job which is taking lot of time. Sometimes causing the job to fail.

I was taking an initial look at the variant and noticed that the filter criteria in the variant has Project Profile P1 and Company code C1

When I just filter (in table) by project profile P1 it gives me say 10,000 projects, and when I filter by just Company code C1 it gives me 500 projects.

When I filter by the combination of P1 -C1 it gives me 400 projects.

 

My question is- Is there a particular way the variant pulls data? Does it first look for Project Profile and then filter company code ? if so, can it be made to look for company codes first and then filter out project profile? Because then it will not have to go through the 10,000 projects.

Am just wondering if that's what taking so much time before even the actual progress analysis program runs.

 

Not sure if this question has to go to an variant discussion forum. If so, please direct me to the right forum.

 

Thanks,

Krishna

Cost Recognition based on Percentage of Completion

Dear Expert,

 

Nowadays, we are implementing SAP PS to handle Plantation and Farming Business Operation.

One Block of Plantation area is defined as 1 WBS. All of operational Cost in this Block will be recorded in Network Activity which is part of the WBS and at the end of month will be settled to WBS. One cycle of plantation upkeep take around 20 months starting from Land Preparation until Harvesting. During upkeep period, all of cost in WBS will be recognized as Work In Process (WIP) by using Result Analysis Methods. After 20 months, the Plants will start to be harvested. Harvesting process for one Block take 2 or 3 Month or the other words, one Block of Plantation always be partially harvested for several months. After harvesting process completed (100%), this block will be started to Land Preparation for New Cycle of Plantation Upkeep. It means, Product Cost for each month is calculated by percentage of harvested product of the block at particular Month.

How can we use the Percentage of Completion in WBS to handle Cost Recognition form WBS for Product Cost Calculation ?

 

Thanks for advice

Hi Experts,

I have AUC creation setup for CAPEX projects where AuC is auto created upon WBS release. After posting all the cost to be capitalized,AuC settlement run is executed month end using line item settlement CJ8G/CJ88 and AuC rules are auto generated.

 

AuC.jpg

 

After AuC is completed, there are 2 requirements

 

1.       Settle 100% AUC cost to multiple Final Assets within same asset class when AUC is completed.

2.       Correction of any cost settled to AuC during Asset construction to cost centre which is not to be capitalized to final asset.

There are over 800 WBS/AuC where settlement rules needs to be created manually for settling to final multiple assets.

I have checked table COBRB but do not know how to update it for creating settlement rules for multiple WBS.

 

I would like to know from experts what are the tables i can use and the logic to achieve above excel based mass upload so client don't need to do it manually.

 

Thanks in advance.

Plan cost inconsistency

Hello colleagues, I need some help from you.

 

When we plan costs in a network activity, the parent WBS element will also show those costs in a report(cost element, for example). My problem is that when I physically delete the network activity without first removing the planned costs, the costs will keep showing in the report for the WBS element. That is a big inconsistency, in my opinion, but SAP says that this is normal behavior.

 

Anyone knows how I can avoid this? My users want me to do write ABAP code to delete those planned costs from the WBS, but I do not want to go so far and would prefer an easier solution.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Experts,

 

We are planning to create a program to update revenue plan in CJR2.

What should be the best way to do it? Basically the custom program does some calculations and then updates the revenue plan.

Which BAPI should we use here? and what the method to find a BAPI for it ?

Or is BDC better option here?

Or any other suggestions. I am aware of the WBS -excel integrated planning option.

Table for confirmed hours after posting to CO

Hi Experts,

 

I am looking for a table which gives me number of hours booked on a WBS/network activity. Booked either via CATS timesheet or direct confirmation of activity.

We are planning to use this hours for a custom report/program, but I want to make sure that I only pick it after it is posted to the WBS.

RPSCO I believe just gives me the Value, not the quantity?

I do see the quantity filled up in CJI3 for the labor confirmations. Which table should I use for quantity?

I think we can find it in CATS database table, but I want to pick it only after CATS-CO job is run and its posted as expense on project.

 

Please let me know if you hv any clarifying questions.

 

Thanks,

Krishna

Budget check @ GI scenario

Dear Experts,

 

I have a scenario as below:



I want to exclude the project PO from budget check, but want to have the budget check @ GI. I have tried this in my system but could not succeed.


  • In config I have maintained as below. I have excluded PR & PO and added GI, FI document, CO document for warning and error:
  • Budget Tolerance.jpg
  • I have first created project structure.
  • Ensured the budget profile is assigned to Project
  • Budgeted the Project in CJ30. Project status is REL, BUDG, AVAC and AUC
  • Created PO (PO value was more than budget) - No budget error occurred - correct result
  • Posted GR w.r.t PO - No budget error occurred - correct result
  • Posted the GI - No budget error occurred - incorrect result : Here I expect the system should check the budget and through an error message, but that is not happening.


For checking whether the budget control is working properly or not I have tried direct FI posting using FB50, this is working fine. Budget error is occurring.

 

Also, I have checked with transfer posting scenario: while making the transfer posting entry to project stock system is checking the budget and giving the error message.

 

I have also tested, if I tried to post the GI from plant stock system is giving the budget error message.

 

I am not able to understand why system is not checking the budget when posting GI from project stock which was received through PO - GR.

 

Has anyone faced this situation? Can anyone through some light on this scenario please?

 

Thanks and Regards,

Praveen B

SAP PS budget against PO commitment

Hi,

We have created PO with 2000$ against the WBS element but GR is done for 1000$ which is an Actual cost against that particular WBS element. As per Standard SAP, the remaining committed value (1000$) would still be as Assigned budget. Will the system remove the commitment for the remaining balance and make the budget available for other use? Or will the remaining balance remain as committed funds for that particular PO.

My understanding is that, the remaining committed value can be made as Available budget by deactivating AVAC and run CJEN and CJBN and use it for another PO.

Are there any other alternatives rather than deactivating AVAC? Please advice.

Keep advanced procured material in project stock

We have a material with procurement key "F" and individual/collective (mrp4) setting "individual". We are use the project builder with a component created for purchasing the material in advance. In the project builder we are using procument type "preliminiary purchase requisition WBS element".

When the PREQ is created as the same time reservation is created with movement type 281 to issue the material.

 

Our understanding is that this way of working was keeping the received material in project stock until a new requirement was created in the project builder for consuming the project stock. We create later a simple reservation for a material produced in house with the advanced procured material in the bill of material.

 

We now see ywo reservations for the material in the system, one from the advanced procurement and one from the in-house reservation. This is not what we want.

RA Key with No result analysis

Hi Experts

 

Probably a very basic question.

If I have a customer T&M Project where I want to recognize revenue as its incurred and recognize cost as its incurred, Do I really need a result analysis in this case?

I would need to settle cost & revenue to profitability segment though.

 

So can I leave the RA key blank in the WBS or assign some RA key which does not make any calculation. For the later, what would be the configuration? Choose any method and just to not create any line ID assignment in OKG4 ?

I am looking for create a RA Key which is for " No result analysis", Just to make the business process even with other projects which might have a proper RA Key.

 

Thanks,

Hello people.

 

Today I read some discussions about the subject of my question. But I didn’t find the answer I'm looking for: is there some standard report where I can see the changes of a WBS element?

 

In the project profile I have this situation on Status Management:

  • Status profile for project definition: none. I can choose from more than 1.
  • Status profile for WBS element: none. I can choose from more than 1.
  • Change documents Indicator: selected.

 

I'm trying the CN60 transaction without success.

 

Does anybody know some standard report or have some suggestion? I need to see when e who changed the status.

 

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.
