Hi Bhanu

In addition to all other postings, would like to share one fundamental aspects of projects is,

A project is a temporary and it will not continued for ever. Every project undergoes lifecycle pattern i.e, Initiation, Planning, Exectuion and Closing.

Considering the above, every project has to undergo all the phases of lifecycle and at one point of time it needs to declared as Closed.

Please refer to the other postings by our friends which are necessary, rather prerequisites for closing.

Hi Bhanu,

These are some of the points for Project Closure, that might help you ( applicable to customer projects):

1 st Step - zero down all commit. & maintain plan cost = budget

It requires all the PS related roles as well as reports which has been listed in the enclosed file. The major transactions are :

CJ01 and CJ02 along with addition and deletion of WBS

CJ40 ,CJ30, CJ36 ,CJ34 and CJ35 for updating plan cost and budget

Create and change the network Scheduling CN21,CN22

Updating revenue planning CJ41 and CJ42

For major projects we can use CJR2 and KJH2 for updating the plan cost and revenue

The earlier projects shifting commitment and budget require CJCF and CJCO

CJ9FS and CJ9BS for shifting the plan cost and revenue to different versions line 0, 1 and 2

2 nd Step - reduced all commit. in PO to GRN qty. OR up to SE

It requires all the MM related roles as well as reports which has been listed in the enclosed file. The major transactions are :

Change PO ME22n and ME23n

May be we need to create GRN and SE u2013 MIGO and ML81n.

3 rd Step is to maintain the SO qty. till Bill qty :

Change Contract VA41 , VA42 , VA01 and VA02

If billing to be done by opening period then ZV01 and VF02

Some of the bills need to be cancelled VF11 etc
