cProject for two different controlling area

[Former Member]

We follow the process of creating project in cProject and release it to PS. We had one controlling area which comes from project profile. Due to some structural changes now we have two controlling area. Can anyone help me with below queries?

E.g : Two cProject (1 & 2 )are created and I have project profile A & project profile B, now I want project 1 to be linked to project profile A and project 2 to be linked to project profile B.

1. Can we have 2 project profiles (in PS) with different values linked to cProject?
2. If yes, how do we link the new project profile to cProject?
3. How will system know which project profile do it pick?
4. Can we have 2 cProject  in one system for 2 different controlling areas?
5. Configuration of second cProject in same system will be same as new configuration?
6. If yes, configuration should start from very first step (i.e HTTP)?

Hello Pinkal,

You control the ERP integration based on the following customizing settings in the ERP system, which are dependant on your Project Management project type:

Integration with Other mySAP.com Components

> SAP Portfolio and Project Management

> Project Management

  > Collaboration Projects

   > Controlling

    > Define Controlling Scenario

Knowledge Base Article 2078410 explains how you can then maintain and use multiple PS-Project profiles for integration (via BAdI IAOM_BUSINESS_SCENAR with Method CHANGE_PROJECT_PROFILE).

This way you can ensure that different PPM-PRO project types are linked to different PS project profiles.

Using different PS project type you can of course use different controlling areas.

The above has no relation or relevant to WebDynpro Configuration (if that is the meaning on your 5th and 6th questions).

Hi Francesco,

Thank you Badi and Method.

We have implemented the BADI given by you. New Project profile is created from standard (project profile copy as facility). Normally when we release the project the cProject status is ‘Released - Transferred - Assigned - Operative Project’ but after implementation of the BADI the  cProject status shown is ‘Released - Transferred - Operative Project’ and the cProject and the PS are not getting  integrated(i.e in T-Code ‘cj20n’ we are not able to see the project id).

Best Regards,

Hello Pinkal,

This suggest that your BAdI implementation is somehow breaking the accounting integration.

The first thing you should confirm is if the code which you have implemented in the BAdI is leading to the use of a valid project profile (i.e. does the project profile which you are returning from the BAdI really exist in the customizing).

If this does not help, I would recommend that you debug the program logic during and after the BAdI is processed (and compare with the logic which is processed in case the BAdI is not active, e.g. by skipping the relevant call in the debugger). The BAdI should work in principle, so you should be able to identify the error in the BAdI implementation and/or the relevant customizing by doing the above.

Best regards
