Budgeting for Network Activities

Former Member

Hi,

I have scenario as follows:

I am using assembly processing for the service (House keeping) using planning strategy 85. The House keeping is entered as a line item in a Quotation which triggers the Network and project. The network has got activities like Supervisor, Staff and Material Procurement. I defined activity types for the above three activities to capture the Cost (Planned) in the quotation. The planned cost of these activities are updated under WBS (house keeping) in CJ30.

Client wants the Budgeting (Overall Budget) to be based on the Activities not on the Service. Can any body tell me how to meet the requirement in the above scenario?

Rgds,

Prasad

Hi,

As far as I know, bugeting is limited to account assigned WBS elements. Budgeting cannot be done for activities.

Hi,

As mentioned by others, Budget control can't happen for network activities. In my earlier project also, i had also same requirments. SAP replied budget functionality can't happen at activity level & only at WBSE level. In order to meet the requirments, multiple WBSE can be created inline with your activities and budget can be assigned.

Hope this will help you.

Dear prasad,

Try creating a std.WBS with the way u wanted the budget to be distributed and link it with the standard network.

In your case u will have one network assigned to different WBS Elements for budget control

<u>level</u>>>>>>>>>>>><u>WBS Element</u>>>>>>>>>>><u>Network Activity</u>

1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>House keeping>>>>>>>>>>>> ---

2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Supervisor>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Supervisor

2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Staff >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Staff

2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Material Procurement >>>>>> Material Procurement

Just try this I hope this will certainly solve your problem.

Hi Murali,

The standard WBS and Network are created as follows:

Standard WBS:

The Project Coding Mask is: A-00000000-0

When quotation is created, the system is showing Error message as ' WBS Elements could not be included.Check your Entry'. It is showing the same WBS as follows:

Hi,

Mr.Muraleedharan is right. Budgeting cannot be done anywhere other than WBS level.
