Determine the immediate child WBS element of a WBS element

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to know how to determine on how to know all the immediate childs of 1 parent (example: how can i kno all level 3 elements under level 2 b?) The usage of PRPS-STUFE is not enough since it only indicates levels. I also noticed we do not have entries in PRHIS table, is it because of we are not using the standard WBS?

Level 1

Level 2 a

Level 2 b

Level 3 a (of level 2 b)

Level 3 a (of level 2 b)

Level 2 c

Level 3 a (of level 2 c)

Thanks!

Hi,

The project hierarchy is data is available in PRHI table.

PRHI'S' is for standard structures. S stands for standard.

PRHI is for operative structure.

If you want to know the WBSE immediately under a WBSE say A. Then go to PRHI table enter A in POSNR field. The WBSE under it will be available in PRHI-DOWN field.

If u have more than one WBSEs under A and you are looking to get all of them. Then u may have to rite a Z function module. Logic can be as under.

Assume WBS structure is as below

Level 1 = A

Level 2 = B,C,D.

When u give A as input u want BCD as output.

Then

Take input as 'A'.

1) Go to PRHI and enter A in POSNR. Collect PRHI-DOWN and Store.

2) Again go to PRHI and enter PRHI-DOWN (collected above) in POSNR. Collect PRHI-RIGHT and Store.

3) Again go to PRHI and enter PRHI-RIGHT (Collected above) in POSNR. Colect PRHI-RIGHT and Store.

4) Repeat step 3. untill PRHI-RIGHT = Initial or Zero.

This Function module will give u all the WBSEs assigned in immediate one level less than the input WBSE.

Please post ur findings after u try this.

Thanks

Use BAPI "BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO". Input WBS element in "I_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE". It will provide the list child WBS elements for given WBS elements.

Hi Venkat,

Thanks so much for your reply, but would you know the exact table and field which is serving as the indicator?

Thanks!

Which indicator u are refering?

U have input Parent WBS element. Out would be list of child WBS elements and Parent WBS element.
