Hi,

Could you please tell the usage of Project coding mask. Is it useful for creating for WBS elements with specific hierarchy or to search the WBS elements?

Dear Shankar,

Project Coding helps in defining the project code or ID according to the business requirement. You can also restrict the type of cahracters you would like to have for creating the project. The transaction code is OPSK.

If helpful..Award Points.

It would be good practice to use coding mask to standardize the Project ID and helps in building WBS hierarchy.

If the client is having different projects for example customer as well as capital projects then u can define coding mask such way that u can identify whether the project is customer or capital project. Later it helps in reporting if client wanted to analyze all the capital projects.

But in SAP it is not mandatory.

Hope this help.

Hi,

This is depend upon ur business requirement...but if u dont have hierarchy then it wld make ur project very complex and all cost will gather at one level. And there wld not be any tracking to the cost.

This is the only one reason, like this there are many reasons that require to breakdown the work and create hierarchy.
