Accounting tab in PPM 5.0

[Former Member]

there is a business scenario where in we would like to link a cproject to an existing SAP PS project. I understand there is a tab > "Accounting" in cproject.

Has anyone used this as a place holder for SAP PS projects. Would be great to know where are the configurations maintained for integrations with SAP PS from cprojects.

Hi Abhishek,

By lookin at your requirement I understand, you have some PS projects already created and now you want to link them with the cProjects Project.

Before that I have a doubt, whether the integration is done between both?

As of now I assume that the integration is done. And try to give solution based on that.

Goto Customizing of cProjects-->Accounting integration-->Make settings in ERP system-->controlling->

Define controlling scenario->ther you map the controlling method for your Project Type as "Manual".

I ope this will resolve your Requirement.

Hi santosh,

thanks for the reply, but here i havent done the integration between the both cprojects and SAP PS projects. Can you please advise how do we set up the basic integration between cprojects and PS proj definitions.

These spro settings should then ideally activate the account integration tabs in cprojects

Hi Abhishek,

Really sorry for not being fast in responding for your problem.

Hope, by this time you might have got the solution for the same. Still I would like to give some points on this.

Follow the below steps,

1.spro-cProjects-connection to external system- Accounting integration.

2.Here you gotta maintain all the 7 steps.

3. For the first 2 steps you dont have to do much(as its already done at Project Tyoe level.)

4.In the 3rd step,for your project type select the object type as, WBS elements. Frame 9. And if you are not using cProject for cost/revenue calculation. check the flag no costing & No automatic revenue calculation.

5.In the 4th step you define the cost/revenue rates.

6. In 5th step, replecate them into ERP(use appropriateRFC).

7.In the 6th step, Transfer the project tyoe & Reason for the project.

8. In the & the step, by giving the RFC navigate into ERP system. There you maintain the CO settings.

9. Here you maintain 4 steps imp.

     a. Define Controlling scenario

     b. Map that scenario for the current project type.(Here you map the manual or automatic project replecation)

     c. In the 4th step, assign the Activity type & Cost Element apprprately for the rate cards reflected from the cProjects.
