Link between Hours in CATS and Billing Item

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

I'm a BW developer that have a interesting problem at one of my customers site.

 

They want to have a report that joins Hours registered in CATS with the Hours that is placed on a Billing Item.

--> They want to see if any hours are dissapearing between registered hours and billed hours.

 

I have found one link that can be used and this is the link found in the following tables:

  • VBRP - Billing Document: Item Data
  • AD01DLIEF - DI flow: Individual flow
  • AD01DLI - Dynamic items (DI)
  • COEP - CO Object: Line Items (by Period)
  • COBK - CO Object: Document Header
  • CATSDB - CATS: Database Table for Time Sheet

 

Please see attached document: SAP Join - CATS vs. Billing for join between tables.

 

This join gives me ad-hoch hours registered towards customers.

These hours will always create a new SD/SD Item and therefore will they be possible to trace back from a Billing Item, via Sales Order Item, via CO Reference to the CATSBELNR.

 

But what I need to also find is the link between hours registered on projects towards a customer. What characterices the Billing Items that is created towards this project and customer, is that all Billing Items is linked toward the same Sales Order Item. This means that there is no direct link between Billing Item --> Sales Order item --> CO Reference and the CATSBELNR.

 

Do anybody know how I can find the link between CATS hours and what is put on the Billing Item?

--> for the case described above?

How to determine Milestone automatic confirmation case based on its offsetting

$
0
0

Hello Experts

 

          I'm having a problem with the milestone automatic confirmation logic and I hope you can help in solving this dilemma.

 

We are integrating PS milestones with SD billing plan in a milestone billing scenario. Whenever I confirm the holding activity of a milestone (any kind of confirmation) it automatically confirms all the subordinate milestones regardless of their offsetting "Offset to Start/ Offset to Finish/ Manual Offset"

 

Example:

 

I have an activity that holds a sales milestone which is offset to finish and aligned to earliest dates.

The activity's earliest start is 01/11/2015 and earliest finish is 15/12/2015.

Which means that the milestone's scheduled date is 15/12/2015.

 

Comes 1st of Nov. and we start the activity, we partially confirm the activity with minimal work and only one day of work (to keep track of actual dates).

 

The partial confirmation should not affect the milestone (since the milestone is offset to finish and a partial confirmation indicates anything but the activity's completion), However, the system behavior is to confirm the milestone regardless of its offsetting.

 

 

The system uses the finish date of the confirmation as the milestone date also regardless of the milestone offsetting.

 

 

 

 

Automatically confirming the milestone in PS (with actual date) removes the billing block from the relevant billing plan line in the sales document. Which in turn allows customer billing before its real due date and this causes a problem.

 

 

 

 

Do you have any ideas how to fix this?

Please see the first comment for the required behavior if anyone can help.

 

Thank you

Production cost to network instead of WBS element

$

Hi All,

 

We use a combination of PS and PP. At the lower level sub assembly we use production planning and at the upper level sub assembly and FG we use project systems.

 

For the lower level sub assembly we attach the material into the project builder (CJ20N), we maintain a production BOM and after running MRP  (MD02) we have planned orders generated which are eventually converted into production order. Now this is where the problem lies: We need this production order to be settled to a network instead of a WBS. The production order account assignment has the WBS, there is no option to have the network as an account assignment.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated and points rewarded.

 

Thanks.

WBS flagged as billing element not settled to cost center after RA processing

$

Hello PS experts,

 

My flow is the following:

- WBS flagged as account assignement and billing element

- There is a RA key assigned to the WBS element

- I execute CJB1 to derive settlement rule for the WBS element

- I execute KKA2 in order to compute result analysis ==> Everything is OK at that point

- I execute CJ88 in order to settle the WBS to CO object defined as cost center ==> Noting happens at that point

 

The problem is that the cost center recevied NO costs and nothing happens after CJ88.

 

Thanks for your ideas,

Sales order value to update commitments.

$

Hello Experts,

 

I am new to PS systems and need an urgent help as my client is looking for a quick solution as they want it to be implemented globally.

 

My client is creating a budget for free of charge orders for the specific WBS element . At the time of sales order creation they are not receiving any error message as they get for PO's when the budget value is exceeding. They are realising this only when the billing document is posted to accounting by this time the goods have already left the godown and hence they have to raise a emergency request form and then adjust the budget accordingly, this they want to avoid at the time of sales order creation globally.

 

Currently in report S_ALR_87013558 only PO & PR values are updating in commitment columns and when the GR is happening they are moving to actuals. This report is not considering the open sales order values for the given WBS element.

 

Have tried below settings (not sure they are correct)

 

1. in OPSB- have checked the sales order and assigned revenue cost element.

2. Created a WBS and checked the billing element and inputted date and target value in the billing plan tab in CJ02.

3. Created a copy of standard periodic billing plan and assigned it to sales order type for Free of charge.

4. assigned the billing plan to periodic billing plan in billing plan activation under project systems.

 

When i am assigning the WBS element to item level in account assignment tab, the value is not displayed either in planned revenue in report S_ALR_87013558 or S_ALR_87013531. I am not sure where i am going wrong.

 

need your help in  understanding below.

 

1. Cant we get the sale order values in commitments column.

2. Is activating planned revenue mandat to get the open sales order values.

3. what are the impacts by activating planned revenue.

4. if planned revenue is activated, where will the actuals updated when accounting document is generated? is it in act revenue or actual commitments.?

 

appreciate your quick help and guidance.

 

Regards,

Exclude statistical Orders in budget control (availability check) in CJ31

$

Hello Guru,

 

We are faced with a serious issue regarding budget control.

 

In our system, the statistical order are used together with WBS element to track all the costs related to asset construction.

 

The statistical orders are for reporting use only and derivate the WBS as real cost objects.

 

This works fine for settelment as the cost are only posted to WBS but not to orders.

 

However, from the point of view of budget control, the system calculates assigned value with both 2 objects.

 

Exemple, if a project has a distributable budget of 100K, the system rejects a PO of 70K assigned to the stat. order /WBS, because the assigned value takes into account the statistical order and is calculated twice 70K (70k x 2 = 140 K so budget overrun ! ).

 

Shall you have any clue to solve this issue please help !

 

Is there anyway to exlude the statistical order from the assigned value ?

 

Or shall we set a budget profile for the orders ?

AUC Settlement with WBS

Dear Experts

 

AUC number 4000000001 has been created

Please advise how to run settlement for this AUC and can it be link to the WBS element? ex. H-00091-01-02-121

This WBS element has AUC 300000000019 which is wrongly assigned at first.So now, instead to proceed settlement for this AUC 300000000019, we want to settle AUC 4000000001.

We already blocked AUC 300000000019. Please advise the next step on how to settle AUC 4000000001.

Dear all,

I need help with cross company time writing.

Engineers would be employed by subsidiaries, managed in SAP as company codes, and they would write their time on a project created in the company code of the HQ office.

Do the company codes of the engineers and the one where project is created need to belong to same controlling area?

Do you have any documentation on this flow?

Thanks very much in advance

MTO process using SAP PS, PP and SD

$

Hi,

 

Before posting this in SCN forum, I have searched the forum and found a healthy no. of documents but after going through all this document I am more confused.

 

So I need some help from you guys.

 

First of all let me take you through our scenario. We are in the business of manufacturing giant machines and sell them to our customers. So we are trying to map this in SAP as MTO scenario through PS, PP, SD, MM & FICO.

 

Now let me tell you what we have done so far. We have created a customer project with 1 billing wbs element and 1 acc. assignment wbs element. In the account assignment WBS we assigned network, activity and assigned the FG material with the required quantity. BOM maintained for this material with BOM usage for production.

 

Now if go through some earlier posted documents then few friends say run mrp through MD51 to generate Planned order for the FG and PR for all the RM materials assigned in the BOM of that FG.Then from planned order to production order and from PR to Po and then GR-> GI. While few other friends suggest first tranfer BOM through CN33, the RMs will be assigned to the respective activity and then run MRP MD51 and follow the same process.

 

I tried both the ways, I was not successful in the 1st case but in the 2nd case I was OK but create some confusion.

 

Here are my doubts:

 

1) Does it require to maintain BOM as bom usage universal or bom usage as production is ok?

 

2) If we use CN33 to transfer BOM then through procurement type in material component in project builder we can generate PR/reservation at the time of WBS release then what is the use of MD51 after that. Is it required (MD51) to create planned order only?

 

3) When I am trying to run MRP through MD51(Any combination Project definition with that particular WBS or only with that WBS) without transfer/explode, it gives exception 52 "No BOM selected" in MD04.

 

 

Please help me to clear these doubts.

 

 

With Regards,
