Down payment request wrt to WBS/Network

[Former Member]

Dear All ,

We have developed new scenario in project system ,  Service engineer at site work. we have already created work centers, activity group & define price planning and assigned in networks . Now we are having problem for the following processes. 

- Service team will generate down payment request through WBS/Network (Automatically trigger/Manually/WBS field mandatory).

- Activate availability control for budget check during the entry posting (Must not exceed the budget limit). 

- Account people with post down payment wrt to down payment request .

Please let me know , if i can set by configuration or enhancement.

Br,

Hi

How your account team is doing DP against service? or they are doing by JB transaction? (check with FICO consultant by which transaction they are able to mandate wbs)

if is they doing wrt service PR which was created by PS? if yes then what is the issue if you want to wbs mandate then check field selection setting for wbs field.

Hi Sanjeev,

Actual scenario is like, we want to control the expenses of the site engineer (company employee) at site for the project. we have define planned amount in wbs budget but the availability control is required for the payment.

Currently we don't have any project wise tracking for expenses of site engineer. payment is directly made by account team to site engineer through F-48 (employee vendor).

Hello,

why not control site expense by cost activity? as normally do for mobile travel and more....then network and and cost activity will come as account assignment while posting against this kind of expenses.

let me know if any more?

Hi,

It will be very useful , if you can explain in brief about cost activity and process flow .

[sunil_yadav2]

you can simply create cost activity and assign some amount this will create plan cost for Project and when you want to post actual you can directly post via finance postings.

Hi,

yes it will work as sunil suggested above like you have to create cost activity and put some amount with some text so that it can be track whether we have spent amount for what kind of work like that.

then your FI business user can do JB against that amount and network and it's activity will come as account assignment in CR DR entries by FI document.
