easy cost planing - distributing plan costs

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I have read in help.sap.com that the distribution in the plan's costs depends on the variant Costs

I have reviewed the "costing variants" in IMG, the "Control Date", I checked the flags:

"costing date from"

"costing to date"

as "manual entry".

In the project I added to the WBS element dates:

BscStart --> 01.01.2010

BSC fin --> 31.12.2010

and

FcstStrt --> 01.01.2010

FcstFin --> 31.12.2010

I have introduced planed costs through easy cost planning in the WBS element.

My problem is that when I run any standard report, all planed costs are in the first month and not distributed according to the dates periods. Can you help me?

Thank you very much.

Regards.

Store a latest end date for the items in ECP, then check.

I have a project with WBS elements and without activities. I have set starting dates and end dates in WBS elements.

The same dates as "Basic Dates" and "Forecast Dates".

01.01.2010 start date.

30.06.2010 end date.

I save de project, and i execute:

IMCOC3 - Plan/Budget consistency Check for projects.

IMCRC3 - Currency Recalculation of Plan/Budget for Projects.

Then, when i view a standar report, for example: S_ALR_87013532.

I view all costs for this WBS elements of my profect, in period 1 (january).

I think that all cost should be in the months January to June.

Thank you very much for responding.

Regards.

As mentioned in my previous posting have you maintained the latest finish date per item in ECP?

Unless you maintain the same system will not distribute the plan cost across the periods instead will be assigned to the start period. Hope it clarifies.

Thank you very much Vivek,

I review the dates of items in ECP and i insert the date in ALV (Show item view).

I insert the "latest finish date". When i saved and i execute the standar report, the costs are in all periods.

Best Regards.
