Statistical WBS' in error

[ymelda_lewis]

In Project Systems -we have a Level 4 WBS that has a travel document /cost charged against it and the WBS is statistical, when we move the cost to a cost center and return to CJ20N to view the WBS in question, the statistical box is greyed out, refusing to let us change it, even though in the IMG, via configuration we have changed PRPS-XSTAT to "Input" from display mode and we've also changed "Integrated Planning" from display to Input for the project profile we are working on.

How did this come about, the Level 2 WBS was marked account assignment in error and our sbustitution did not fire removing integrated planning from the Level 4 WBS, therefore we cannot remove the integrated planning status of the Level 4 WBS on the Control Tab in CJ20N. We suspect because costs have been charged against the statitiscal WBS in error - BUT moved to a cost center - effectively deleting it from the WBS - correct?, then the WBS should be available for us to make changes to it? Please respond as quickly as you can. Regards,..........Em Lewis, NC DOT

Hi Ymelda,

I think you need a PS/CO expert and you should open this question in PS forum and not in PPM.

related to your question when you create a controlling document against a WBS this WBS cannot be changed from statistical to real or vicerversa anymore, I think it is the same for integrated planning. I suppose you can remove cost from the WBS but I think the controlling document remains in the system and this makes you impossible change this kind of characteristics in the WBS.

Hi,

As you mentionned, as soon as a cost is charget to a statistical WBS-E, it's not possible to remove it anymore.

Even if you transfer the cost to a Cost Center, the system doesn't delete the old posting, but create a reversed posting (so that total = 0).

Due to this historical data, you won't be able to reset this WBS-E as not statistical.
