PS-SD integration is it possible to create a Whole WBS Structure

[luca_pastura]

Hello to everybody,

I'm involved in project in which there is a strict integration SD-PS. Each sales order item should be assigned to a specific WBS element. I found SD/PS assignment indicator, in control data of standard project definition. i customized the coding mask to create an operative project after sales order saving which code is a suffix concatenate to sales order number. example if sales order number is 290 the project will be E-270. Unfortunately the WBS elements don't change. So the first level of WBS (the billing element) and second levels (account levels) mantain the code of standard WBS. I wish that also their operative code could be automatically determined.

In the previuos example I wish the project coming out so structured

E-270 (project)

E-270 (aggregating first level)

E-270-0010 (second level related to sales order item 0010)

and so on...

Is it possible by standard. actually I tried but first and second levels are proposed as in standard project so I have to manually change them by replacing...

Thank's in advance

Hi

Please create a standard template for the project with say E-999. The steps of the project will be

Proj Defn : E-999

Root level WBS: E-999

1st Level WBS : E-999-0010

2nd Level WBS : E-999-0020, etc

Now when we create a new project (say E-209) with copy from the standard template E-999 then all the thing will be copied and the project will be like

Proj Defn : E-209

Root level WBS: E-209

1st Level WBS : E-209-0010

2nd Level WBS : E-209-0020, etc

Hello Uddhab,

thank you for your suggestion. I've tried and it seems to function. the only problem is that for the first level root the system creates a suffix equal to second level root. in other words it creates two wbs equal.

example.

i created the standard project

GA.9999999999

GA.9999999999

GA.9999999999.09999

GA.9999999999.00010

GA.9999999999.00020

I assigned GA.9999999999.00010 to standard network used as template for sd order processing. when saving the sales order number 190 the system tries to generate this operative structure

proj def GA.0000000190

1 GA.0000000190.00010 Aggregation

2 GA.0000000190.00010 Confirmation 0010

and it gives error as two wbs elements are equal.

can you help me?

thank's in advance

Hi

Are you doing the same using the DIP profile or you are assigning the WBS in the sales order - account assignment tab.

If it is a DIP profile problem then please check the settings for the DIP profile. However if you are assigning the WBS in the sales order then i don't think you will be getting as such messages.

i think in std SAP you will need to allow multi root in project profile for this to work

this means you will get level 1 WBS for every sales order line item

you need to have the SD/PS assignment ticked in config

the operative indicator can be preset in the template

if you are looking for one root then you will need development

Hy,

i've not understood very well when you write "you need to have the SD/PS assignment ticked in config

the operative indicator can be preset in the template"

[virendra_pal]

SD/PS - sorry not in config but template on the project definition

operative indicator is the accoutn assingment, billing or planning indicator

Hi Luca,

If I understood your requirement correctly, the following options may help.

1. Maintain Substitutions

Customizing path

Project System -> Structures -> Operative Structures -> Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

2. Business Add-In: Project Definition (BUS2001)

Business Add-In: WBS Elements (BUS2054)

Customizing path

Project System -> Structures -> Operative Structures -> Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)->Enhancements for Project Definition and WBS Elements

Kind regards,

Zhenbo

Hy Zhembo,

thank's ina davnce for your answer. I've tried with substitution but PRPS-POSID in not among the fields that i can select for modifying.
