Hello Gurus
I am currently working on manually setting up a functional PS module without activating the standard best practices for an industry. At the moment, I am faced with a material assignment problem, which I would like the house to help out with.
Please find screen shots with descriptions.
1. I have built a simple Project Plan with a material assigned (Cost 1,000,000) and an internal activity with rate 29,865 Per Hour for 1 Hour. My expected total project planned cost should be 1,029,865. The problem with the material aspect is that it does not show up under project planned cost in my report but instead it shows up under Project Planned revenue.
Kindly help me identify whats missing in my configuration.
Please note that I do not have this issue on a different system that has the standard building blocks already activated. I have compared both systems trying to find the missing setting without success yet.
hi Emeka,
Please check the Value categories define and and assignment configuration in OPI1 and OPI2 tcodes. Your Revenue value category might include the Cost elements. If so, then remove the cost elements from revenue value category and assign them under cost value category. The best way to keep them in line the value categories is to use cost element groups fro revenue, cost etc.
Regards,
Dave

Thanks Dave,
Resolved!
Apparently, due to my poor FICO knowledge, I replicated entries from the functioning system where the building blocks were activated, without confirming if the cost element groups i assigned actually existed. Reviewed the cost element group as recommended, made the right definitions, so its fine now.
On a different note, do you have documentations you can share that can enable someone like me with majorly a logistics background to understand the FICO side (costing variants, value categories, settlement, etc) of project systems?
Hi Emeka,
Please check value Categories their might be possibility that any cost elements are marked as revenue elements.
thanks
Sunil
