Hi Experts,
My business scenario is as usual that we will do Resource planning in cProject and Logistics & Financial transactions in PS.
We are creating an automatic cPRoject and corresponding PS project via Portfolio item using Accounting Integration functionality. The PS project (Project definition and L1 WBS) is getting created automatically in PS but I am lacking an understanding or facing an issue of transferring resources' planned costs from cProject to PS project.
Both the modules are installed in a same system.
In PPM, I have maintained the following customization.
1. Activate Accounting Integration with scenario 'A'
2. Make General settings without tick 'No Costing'.
3. Define cost/revenue rates
4. Replicate cost/revenue rates
5. Define Controlling scenario with controlling method 'C'.
6. Assign Cost elements and Activity types
I have assigned a role and resource to a task. So, the costs are also appearing in Resources -> Details -> Costing tab.
Now, my queries are:
Is ECP mandatory for transferring the costs from cProject to PS?
If answer is Yes, then what about the Automatic Network costing in PS? How both the costing will be in Sync?
If answer is No, how those planned costs for Resources will be transferred from cProject to PS?
I believe, ECP is required just for Preliminary costing only, NOT for cost planning in CO version '0'.
Please respond as this issue has become a Show-stopper.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Eventually, myself found the solution after regress testing.
The outcome is that ECP can be used for transferring Resources' planned costs from cProject to PS in CO plan version '0' and Logistics planning can be done at Network activity level in PS in the same version '0'.
Thus, the resources' planned costs will be appeared against WBS elements (subject to mapping Tasks to WBS). So, the aggregated costs at WBS level would be summation of Resources' and Logistics' planned costs.

Hi,
I tested further and observed, Easy Cost planning is mandatory for transferring the planned costs from cProject to PS.
But, my queries are still same.
If answer is Yes, then what about the existing Automatic Network costing in PS? How both the planned costs will be in Sync?
Network costing is using for Logistics and Financial Transactions in PS in CO version '0'.
If answer is No, how those planned costs for Resources will be transferred from cProject to PS?
