My project is builded as following

<b>wbs</b>: T-20051.3

<b>activity</b>: 3000

<b>material componet</b>: T-20100

<b>material componet</b>: T-20210

  • activity is assigned to wbs, two material is assigned to activity.

<b>T-20100 and T-20210 procurement type</b> :Requisition + reservation for WBS elemen

I look cost planned report use following transaction:

S_ALR_87013533 - Plan/Actual/Commitment/Rem.Plan/Assigned

cost planned of Activity 3000 is 130460 EUR,

this value is exactly equal to sum between material T-20100 cost planned and

material T-20100 cost planned that is calculated by quantity multiplied standard price.

after I delete material component T-20100 and T-20210, as a result, the cost planned of activity 3000 is not changed, that is, it value is still 130460 EUR,

I think its value should become to zero. why not be changed ? can you tell me?

thank you expert.

The behavior you are seeing on your system is correct system behavior.

The system rolls costs/revenues up to the assigned wbs element

if an order or network activity is flagged for deletion so you

can archive orders/networks while the project is still 'alive' without

loosing information on costs/revenues.

The logic is that costs of deleted networks should not get lost but are

rolled up to the superior wbs-element.

SAP has the understanding that released activities are used immediately,

carry actual costs and, therefore, can not be deleted. To keep the

objects clearly arranged the reorganization run can be used to move

some objects (those with status DLFL) to the archive without losing

data (in the meaning of costs).

If you want to remove these costs of the WBS elements you have

to cancel the deletion flag of these networks, remove the planned costs

start network costing and save. You can then set the DLFL again and

the costs will not appear in the structure report.

Hope this helps.

dear Martina Modolell

thank you to replying my question. but I still have not understood following paragraph.

If you want to remove these costs of the WBS elements you have

to cancel the deletion flag of these networks, remove the planned costs

start network costing and save. You can then set the DLFL again and

the costs will not appear in the structure report.

because I have deleted material component instead of networks. how can I cancel the deletion flag?

how to operate ?

thank you
