WBS of level 2 as billing element

[Former Member]

Hello

we are facing an issue regarding WBS element of level 2.

When creating a project, and then assigned a wbs element of level 2, we cannot flagge it as "billing element"

 This is very imcpacting for our model, because we cannot imput these WBS element to revenu accounts when posting a journal entry

 Can you tell us in this case, what the purpose of having wbs element of level 2 if this is not a billing element?

Regards

Mathieu

Hi Mathieu,

The project level seems is checked as billing element, but you should still be able to post journal entries towards either the project or billing element. The profile of the project might impact the WBS elements that roll up to it. Have you tried posting a Journal Entry to the WBS? Did you receive an error message?

Best,

Riwa

Hello Riwa,

I have the same problem. The message is "WBS element xxxx-xx-5 is not a billing element"

The problem is because wbs element of level 2, we cannot be flagged it as "billing element".

It is possible to flag the wbs element as billing element?

Thanks in advace

WBS element is only a cost collector just like a cost center or any other cost object. You can post cost from the different modules to it. So SAP correctly restricts revenue postings.

Revenue is at the project definition level. You could post revenue and TECO/CLSD the WBS element.

Hi mamorales1 - with the project type Project with Revenue you can only post revenue to the project level of the project. You can have WBS Elements under the project, but may only post costs to the WBS Elements as they are not flagged as billing elements, and can't be flagged for billing elements in S/4HC.

Hi Mathieu,

I have similar issue for revenue element but my situation is different. But, we try to solve the issue by using PA segment. In Sales Order, you can go the line item and input the WBS element directly in PA segment ( !! not in field WBS element !!!). We found that this can skip revenue element checking. At the same time, financial report would show the assigned WBS. Please try and see whether this works in your case.

But, I would think that the better option is to open the revenue element indicator in WBS .
