WBS Correction are Not Being Allowed

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have an issue with WBS :

Employee has charged X hours against a receiver WBS element that has been closed.

This info errors during the transfer to CO with the error msg reflected on the following screen print.

We have attempted to fix this info via the data entry profile DIRADMIN using CAT2u2026.

To

A. Delete the entry (on the effective date - in this case 7/10/2010-) and re-enter the hours using an open (alternate) WBS.

B. Correct the record by entering a hours value of ZERO for the closed WBS; and a subsequent hours entry of XX (where XX represents the original number or hours to be charged to the WBS which is now closed.

In EACH case, we have received the following error msg; when we re-created this scenario using employee xxx in QEC with FY 2008 rec (open/closed)WBS data.

The QUESTION: HOW DO WE GET PAST THIS HARD ERROR and send corrected WBS data to CO when the corrected entries are approved and subsequently transferred (VIA cat7) to CO??

Awaiting your replies.

Thanks & Regards

Aditya

Hi,

If you want to transfer those hours to CO reset the status of the WBS to REL, if your business permits doing this.

Please do not use capital letters while posting a thread.

Thank you Gokul for your reply, but my business won't allow to change the status of the WBS, is there any other solution ?

Thanks & Regards

have you tried reversing the original entry and then creating new entry against new WBS elements

Hi,

I agree with Nitin. Leave the posting on the closed WBS as it is since it is not going to affect elsewhere in the system. Post the hours to a new WBS and then transfer it to CO using CAT7.

Thanks Nitin and Gokul,

Even we are tried for new WBS code system not allowing to change and error message is "User status BRDN is active (WBS XXXXX) " and again while transferring to CO through CAT7 we are getting the error message " User status BRDN is active (WBS xxxxxxx)".

Please advise..

Thanks and Regards

You need to take away that user status from WBS than than try.

Hi,

As Nitin has suggested you need to reset the user status to allow you to do the necessary changes. Before that just check the user status. What exactly doest BRDN mean? Does it forbid any business transactions?

Once you come to know as to why this user status has been set and where all it impacts you can then work on reversing/resetting it provided there is no interlock between other parameters.

You have not mentioend message clearly. If you are not able to reverse or chagne closed WBS entry due to error message than

Leave Closed WBS Entry as it is as it is not going to post in CAT7 and create new entry on open WBS & post the same to CAT7.
