Incorrect WBS number determined in SD Contract
Hi,
We have configured our system such that when a material is added in the contract, WBS (level 1) gets created for each material in contract. These WBS are then assigned to the main project.
I have a contract with a material in line item 10 and its wbs is ABD-Contract no- Line item no (10)
Similarly for material in line item 20 of contract its WBS is ABD-Contract no- line item (20)
Both the above WBS has been closed and its current status is CLSD.
Now when i try to add a new line item in contract (line item 30), the system is determining the WBS element no. as ABD-contrac no- line item no 20. and the system is giving error as "System status CLSD is active for WBS ABD-Contract no- Line item 20
Can anyone tell me why the system is determining the WBS of line item 20 when i try to add new material to line item 30. Ideally the WBS should have been ABD-Contractno - Line item no 30
Any inputs on this?
Thanks

OPI2 : suppress indicator impacts on BU availability controls
Dear experts,
We have configured a specific value category RR for revenues CE within OPI1 and we have activated the update option 'suppress' for PS report within OPI2.
My question: does the option 'suppress' for revenue's valuation category have any impact on the active budget availability control ?
My understanding is that posting to a revenue value category / CE is automatically excluded from the assigned value / availability control.. and the 'suppress' option is only used if you want to exclude them from the PS reports. pls confirm.
SAP notes 178837 and 777859 are not clear for me ;-(
Thanks and regards,

SAP PPM and PS for projects involving several plants
Hello,
I am investigating the possibility to plan and control the development costs at the company with the SAP PS or PPM. Thus, the goal was having team members booking their labor hours to the projects (Maybe through CATS?), so that project managers could have a detailed and exact overview of the costs of their projects attributed to each person and department. However, since a development project takes place at several sites, with team members in different plants working for it, I have been told that with SAP PS it is not possible to do it because at PS a project would be attributed to one Plant, and therefore people in other plants, from the same company, would not be able to book their labor hours to the projects. Is that really so? Is there a way to bypass this problem? Can different WBSs at the same project be attributed to different plants?
Thanks a lot for any help!

Process to change BOM Quantity after BOM explosion
Hi,
I want to what is the process that is normally being followed to change the BOM quantity once BOM has been exploded.
I will clarify my point.
I have attached a finished material to the activity and exploded the BOM manually (edit>component>explode).
Now if I want to change the quantity of the header BOM material from (say) 1 to 2 quantity, then how the BOM quantities will get updated accordingly.
e.g. BOM material A has two components B and C.
one A quantity has BOM ---- B is 2 nos. and C say 3 nos.
So if I change the A quantity to 2 nos. after the BOM is exploded then how the quantity of B will become 2X2 = 4 and C will become 6.
What is the process that is normally followed to update the quantity.
Abhra.

Need your inputs for the below mentioned points,(PS perspective)
Assuming that FI team does the copy company code trasnactions.(Creates controlling area and FI Org structure which we use for PS also)

DIP: Each WBS in 1 line at the DMR order - how to?
Hi'
I hope some of you can help us 
Our solution:
* Material A is added at Contract i VA41
*A project with network and activities is created automatically (assembly processing)
*The project are changed to fit each delivery - end up with 2-30 WBS-elements
*CATS-confirmations at the network activities are created in CAT2 and transferred to the project through CAT5
*DP91 capture CATS-confirmations with activity type A = material A, B = material B and C = material C (material determination)
The DMR contain 1 line item per activity type
Now we would like the DMR to have these line items:
WBS 1 with activity type A
WBS 1 with activity type B
WBS 1 with activity type C
WBS 2 with activity type A
WBS 2 with activity type B
WBS 2 with activity type C
WBS 3 with activity type A
and so on.
How can we solve this issue?
The WBS-elements have different names for each project. We had not succes to create a Set reflecting this.
How can we make the setup resulting in the mentioned DMR line items.
I hope for some input.
Thank you in advance

As per Note 46209 no availability control on Goods Receipts.
But my question is Goods Receipt can be created only after creation of Purchase order only right ?
while creating PO itself the amount from WBS budget will be assigned for particular PO. then why we need additional amount for Good receipt ?
please clear me this point.

WBS AVAC De-activated through different transactions
Hi Team,
As per SAP standard, one is able to change the status of Availability Control (AVAC) within PS through CJBW (deactivate AVAC), CJBV (activate AVAC) and CJBN (reconstruct AVAC). As such we have limited the access to these transaction codes to our PS super users only as they are critical actions.
We have found that a few users have been able to deactivate AVAC on a project through the following transactions:
| FBV0 - Post parked document |
| FBVB - Post parked document |
| FV50 - Park General Ledger Account Documents |
| FV60 - Park Incomming Invoice |
| IW32 - Change Work Order |
| ME21N - Create Purchase Order |
| ME22N - Change Purchase Order |
| ME54N - Release Purchase Requisition |
| MIGO_GI - Goods Issues |
| ML81N - Service Entry Sheet |
| MR8M - Cancel Invoice |
The above was identified using table JCDS - status change logs which was executed for WBS element objects when project overspend was investigated. If the above is true, this would cause a situation in that any person who has access to the above would be able to deactivate AVAC on a project.
This can not be allowed as all forms of capital governance is lost in that individuals within the the Buying/Procurement/Contract department can override budget controls put in place by the Capital Portfolio department.
We have tried many times to replicate the issue but we have been unsuccessful and after taking this issue to SAP and no assistance being available as we can not provide steps to replicate, we would like to know if anyone else has seen this issue or has had this same issue?
We have subsequently setup a CJBN batch job to execute daily as a preventative measure but this still will not prevent the issue from reoccuring.
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Hello Gurus,

As per their confirmation mail , study material will not be provided by them. I just read from net about no of questions , negative marking , important topics.
I just wanted to know some tips and tricks ( basic) so as to appear for the exam. Also as per policy of SAP I can apply within 2 months only from the date of confirmation mail which I received yesterday.
As I working on SAP PS only , I just wanted to know that 2 month time period is sufficient for a working guy to appear for the exam ?
Sorry for the basic question. Hope you will reply.

Settlement by item
hello
I have an activity with POrder, and with 3 invoices posted to this PO and in effect to the activity.
The invoices are posted with the same cost element.
Activity is assigned to WBS and settlement rule of activity is settle 100% of cost to WBS.
So when I settle by CJ88 my activity to WBS I get only one item on the WBS level.
eg
Before settlement
900001 0010
CE Amount
4100015 1000 $
4100015 2000$
4100015 1500$
After settlement
900001 0010
CE Amount
4100015 1000 $
4100015 2000$
4100015 1500$
4100015 -4500$
WBS level
| 4100015 | 4500$ |
Is there any option to have 3 items after settlement on the WBS level? Like below:
After settlement
900001 0010
CE Amount
4100015 1000 $
4100015 2000$
4100015 1500$
4100015 -1000 $
4100015 -2000$
4100015 -1500
WBS level
4100015 1000 $
4100015 2000$
4100015 1500$
