Funds management and project budgeting

$
0
0

Hi

We have funds managment activated for operational expenses(OPEX).

Project budget will be used for all CAPEX requirements. However, there will be common G/L accounts used in both operational expenses and capital expenses. For eg. steel could be issued both for projects as well as maintenance activities.

 

Please clarify on the following:

 

1) How to avoid duplication of budgets in PS and FM.

 

2) Can we forego PS budgetings and depend on only FM budgeting to meet the above issue. Can't we achieve the PS budgeting functionality in FM.

 

3) What differentiates or advantages we get in PS budget over FM budget.

CN41N showing Planned Cost for deleted Production Order

$

Hello Everyone,

 

In CN41N the Project cost plan is including planned cost of deleted production orders. Planned Cost for deleted Production Orders is not showing individually but rolled up to top WBS element. Planned cost for correct production orders is showing individually and also rolled up to the top WBS element which is ok. There are six production orders 1038472,73,74,79,80 & 81 with status DLFL-deleted(shown in pic below) and there is no individual planned cost and there are three correct production orders 1038685, 86 & 87 with individual planned cost 34,151.12

CN41N.png

 

 

now, I checked deleted production orders' planned cost as shown below, it is 33,901.82. This Planned cost is same for all six deleted production orders.

CO03.png

if I do the calculation:

 

   6 * 33901.82 = 203410.92 (Planned cost for 6 deleted production orders)

& 3 * 34151.12 = 102453.36 (Planned cost for 3 correct production orders)

 

Total sum: 204410.92 + 1024543.36 = 305864.28

 

305864.28 is the total Project planned cost in CN41N, it should exclude the amount 20341.92(Deleted production orders) and correct  total should be 102453.36

 

 

It isn't a problem if CN41N is showing deleted production orders but it shouldn't show planned cost for those orders.

 

Please advice!

Button "Milestones" greyed out

$

Hello PS Experts,

 

Currently in a Sales Order (which we create with reference to a WBS element/Project ) we can copy selected "Scheduled Milestone dates" from WBS element /Project into item level Billing plan. This is using the “Milestones” button in change mode.

But when billing has been done for first Milestone date(first line), then we cannot add further copy "scheduled Milestones" from WBS element into BP since the “Milestones” button is now greyed out/uneditable in change mode.

Due to this once one Billing is done,no further milestones can be added in the Order which is a issue.

 

Is there some setttings in PS module ,that we need to do to enable this "Milestones" button? .

Thanks in advance for your help to resolve.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Umesh Karane.

Billing plan status for WBS is being copied to the new Project

$

Hello SAP Experts!

 

We are currently encountering an issue when an existing Project is being copied for a new one in CJ20n, the Billing plan status is also being copied into the new Project.

 

We do intend to copy the Billing plan line items, but we do not understand why the status is also being copied. If a billing plan was completed in a previous Project, that completion status should not be copied into the newly created Project right?

 

Please note that the Billing plan status is not being populated as SAP standard behavior, there is a third party system that handles the invoicing and once a document for a specific Billing plan line item is received, the Billing plan status is updated to 'C' to lock that Billing plan line item.

 

Is there a way to prevent the system from copying the data in FPLT-FKSAF when using the copy project functionality in CJ20n? Tinkering with the checkbox under Template during copying of the project did not influence the Billing plans.

 

Thanks and regards,

Ramon

SAP PS Plant Stock Vs Project Stock

$

0

Hi All,

I have never worked on Project Stock(Valuated & Non-Valuated).I was wondering on what basis business decides to go for Project Stock. Moreover,  SAP recommends to use Valuated Project Stock rather than Non-Valuated Project stock due to the disadvantage that it only updates quantity NOT cost. What are the benefits of Project Stock over Plant Stock? What are the benefits of Valuated over Non-Valuated Project Stock? What configuration settings may need from Procurement?

 

Please disregard my question if it seems very generic and apologies for asking

Impact of posting of a Credit Memo from Vendor, on project costs

$

Dear Experts,

 

In our client's business, a user has posted a GR for 372986 NOK in 2015. Against which, an IR (invoice receipt) also have been posted for 371626 NOK.

refer attached screen shots.

 

As a result, payment also have been made to vendor.

 

Later at the end of 2015, same vendor has sent a credit memo for 223186 NOK in the same year 2015.

GL balance (FBL3N) is ok.

 

Now in 2016, the user approaches us stating that project A is still displaying costs as 371626 NOK, instead of 148439 (371625 - 223186) NOK.

 

Projects cost should also come down as business originally paid a less amount than GR but project cost report is still displaying 371626.

 

Kindly suggest.

Do we need to reverse all those IR and GR and change the PO's price to that amount? So that, thereafter user can post a GR and IR for the same net value.

 

Thanks in advance.

SAPPS

Planned cost in KKA2 is different than CN41N

$

Hello Everyone,

 

The issue is, in KKA2, the planned cost is 411169 and in CN41N, CJ41 & S_ALR_87013533 the project planned total cost is 321459. Difference of planned cost in KKA2 & CN41N is 411169 - 321459 = 89710.

 

I found, there is a drop ship PO linked to the project and few line items are deleted, total value of deleted PO line items is 76954, I guess the deleted PO line item total is coming to KKA2. But still total(76954) is 12756 less than the difference of 89710

 

When I ran CJEN, in detail list there are two entries of every drop ship WBS elements, one is with budget type KSTP, value type 1, period block blank & other with budget type COIN, value type 4, period block 16, Ledger currency value & TC value total is same for both entries.

 

Please advice why planned cost is different in KKA2 than CN41N

Capacity of group work center not considered in PS internal activity

$
0

Hi,

 

We're trying to allocate a work center to an internal activity of our project in Project Builder and calculate the activity duration required for the number of work hours specified. This works fine for an individual work center (eg. CNC EDM1, CNC EDM2, etc.) but when we assign a group work center (eg. CNC EDM), it is still considering it as an individual work center and calculating the duration accordingly.

 

We have created the hierarchy in CR21, but it only recognizes it in CM01 when we put a check on Cumulation of Reqmts and Cumulation of Capacity, and give the hierarchy name. We would prefer to run this planning from the Project Builder itself.

 

For the group work center capacity if we assign number of individual capacities as more than 1, then it doesn't help if the individual work centers have different capacities.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thank you,

Pratap

Removing planned cost from Material Component after PR creation

$

Hello SAP Experts!

 

How do we remove the planned cost that was entered as the total amount of the Material Component after its PR has been created?

 

We use the planned cost from the Activities/Material Components as reference to our budgeting, but once a PR is created during release of the Network Activity containing a Material Component, the same amount is posted as commitment, the total amount for the WBS Element holding the Material Component is then doubled (planned cost + commitment amounts).

 

Thanks and regards,

Dear All,

 

I have a below requirement.

 

I am creating a statistical Project with WBS without any network/activities to monitor hours booked for a R&D Project. I am booking actual hours for WBS using CAT's. Now, I need to also put Plan hours as per activity type for a particular WBS. I have used CJR2 where in we can enter planned hours per cost center per activity type.

 

Now, I need to show this Plan hrs v/s Actual hrs booked for a particular WBS. Can know if any SAP standard report shows this data?

 

Also, let me know if there is any alternate method to Plan hours in WBS and same to be get in report for comapring.

 

Thank in advance.

Hi Experts,

 

When saving a project B I get this message " Reservation XXXXX is already being processed by user" , However such reservation # does not even exist in the system. I check in ME24 and table RESB.

 

During this time I have opened another Project A, an activity of which is account assigned to WBS in Project B.

When I come out of project A, I don't get this message, but the question is regarding the Reservation Number in the message.

Is that a real reservation number in system?

Progress Analysis Report not showing BCWS and BCWP in CNE5

$

Hi All,

 

I am working with progress analysis and getting the values POC (plan, actual), but not getting BCWS / BCWP values. I'm using measuring method for multiple activities which are TIME PROPORTIONAL, COST PROPORTIONAL, DEGREE OF COMPLETION and ACTUAL PLAN. I had already maintained the required Customizing for this and we have costs planned and posted at activity level.

 

Next, the Customization I maintained is :

 

1. Created Progress Version 100 with exclusive use 'Progress

Analysis'. I have selected Plan & Actual check boxes.

 

2. Settings for Progress Version-

a) Plan version - '0'

b) EV basis - Cost plan (active project, total values)

c) POC weighting - Weight (active project )

d) Planning type - Basic dates

e) Early / Late - Earliest possible

f) Both reference boxes selected

 

3. SKFs- I created three SKFs & assigned to Val. Categories.

 

4. Haven't maintained the default measurement method but maintained in CJ20N against Activities with Time proportional method.

 

5. Created progress cost element, maintained default, created Cost element group and assigned to value category.

 

6. In this cost element group, I have not assigned any other cost elements

 

Before running CNE5, I have also run CNE1 but still not able to obtain BCWS / BCWP values. Can someone help me in getting the BCWS / BCWP?

 

Regards,

Faizan
