Transferring wbs elements bewteen project definitions

[Former Member]

I have created many wbs elements under a single project definitions and now have financial posting against them. Is it possible to transfer some of the wbs elements to a new project defintion?

hi

You cant transfer WBSE to other project. If you want to move FI postings to other project WBSE then you can do it by manual reposting i.e by KB11N, condition is that profit center should be same for both the projects.

hi,

Can you ealaborate your requirement?

Is all your WBS elements are Released or not?

Note: Std behaviour is there should be unique Project at header level.

But if you want you can maintain many WBS elements at Level-1.

Hi,

Its not allowed in the standard system. However you can create a new project and transfer these postings to the new WBS created in the new project.

Will I be able to use the same wbs element in the newly created project or will I have to use a new number?

You required new no alwalys. Sys WBS no. X you hav used in projectr X1 than you cannnot use same WBS no. X in Y1 Project defination under any circumstances. Becasue it says you while creation WBS is already exist. Pelase create new WBs in other proeject accordign to your requirement.

WBSE of new project will be created in line with defined coding mask. You cant use same WBSEs in various projects.

Only a few have financial postings against them:

1) Can the ones with no postings be transferred and retain the same wbs numbers or

2) can these be set to posting status FINO and reinumbered to something else, allowing me to use the original number in a new project definition.

As you can see, I am keen to retain the wbs element numbers in the new project definition.

Rich, there is nothing called transferring WBSE from one Project Definition to another. But you can do these.

1. Delete the WBSE, if there are no postings happend, and then create the WBSE with same id for the other project Definition.

2. Rename the WBSE id(for which the acutal cost exists) to some id, and then create the WBSE with the same id to other proejct definition..(i think it should work, check and come back)

But, I would like to ask you onething, why you want to mix up WBSE coding in a project. Suppose if your project Definition is A.001, then it is the good practice to maintain the WBSE which follows the code A.001.01, A.001.02 etc., From your post I understand that you want to create A.001 as project and A.001.01, A.111.01 as your WBS Elements. Why do you want to do like this?
