RRB DP91 Issue

[salim_shakir3]

We have a RRB issue for T&M project as follows:

We are getting the following line items in our sales order generated from ECP

54.0003-01 (Billing Element)

Item No. Material code Description WBS

1 4956 Proj Manager 54.0003-01-01 (Account Assignment)

2 4953 Proj Adm 54.0003-01-01 (Account Assignment)

3 4950 Travel Expenses 54.0003-01-01(Account Assignment)

When we execute DP91 we get the following error:

u201CThere is more than one sales order or contract item for WBS elementu201D

I have read note number 544123 but cannot understand why we need a different billing element for labor costs associated with a project manager and project admin, who are working for the same project. We need to segregate the PM and Proj adm separately as their rate per hour is different.

How do we resolve this issue?

In opinion, SAP Note 544123 is self explainable.

Still, the problem is with assignment of one WBS element - 54.0003-01-01 repetitively in the same sales order for different items.

|Item No.| Material code| Description |WBS| - |
|1| 4956| Proj Manager| 54.0003-01-01| (Account Assignment)|
|2 |4953| Proj Adm| 54.0003-01-01| (Account Assignment)|
|3| 4950|Travel Expenses| 54.0003-01-01| (Account Assignment)|

Solution can be:

- If you don't have any alternative apart from using 54.0003-01-01, then have cost element by maintaining different network/activity under the WBS. This is when you require 3 line items in sales order. This what SAP Note 544123 recommended.

- Either have sub-level WBS under 54.0003-01, say, 54.0003-01-01, 54.0003-01-02 & 54.0003-01-03 or under 54.0003-01-01 maintain further sub level WBS, such as, 54.0003-01-01-01, 54.0003-01-01-02 & 54.0003-01-01-03. So that there is no overlaps in the underlying WBS. I know changing project structure for existing project is not feasible solution.

- If you don't have any alternative apart from using 54.0003-01-01, then alter your source cost sheet & cost element, where you can have all the 3 cost maintain in one source and one material. In this case one line item is maintained in sales order & cost element will be visible during execution of DP90/DP91.
