Project Structure in SAP R/3 Replication Issues

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have some of the Issues while creating the Project Structure in cProjects.

1) The Project Structure getting generated in SAP R/3 is only mappped with WBS elements, why not Networks and Network Activies.

e.g

*cProjects SAP Project Systems*

Project Definition -

---

> Project definition

Phase----

---

> WBS Element

Task----

---

>WBS Element

Mirrored Task----

---

>WBS Element

Sub Task----

---

>WBS Element

Checklist----

---

>WBS Element

Checklist item----

---

>WBS Element

Is this the standard feature or whether we can create the Network and Network Activites for Tasks and Checklist??

2) The Numbering of the Phase, Tasks, Sub tasks, hecklist etc... all are of some 24 digit numerals, Can we automate the numbering like, the WBS element at level 1 should copy the project definition number and some extension...

3) the Project generated in SAP Project Systems i.e the WBS Elements has status "MDLK" Master data locked.... Why is this set. Is it standard? Can we eliminate this?

Hoping for answers from you all.

Thanks & Regards,

Stephen

>>>> I think, you use cProject 4.0, as in cProject 3.1 it is possible to get object be replicated as PS activity.

Reason: The prupose of the replication is the costs-integration.

2) The Numbering of the Phase, Tasks, Sub tasks, hecklist etc... all are of some 24 digit numerals, Can we automate the numbering like, the WBS element at level 1 should copy the project definition number and some extension...

>>> You can implement a Badi to apply your own logic. There is a Note to give you instruction how to do it. If you fails to find it, please let me know. I will search it.

3) the Project generated in SAP Project Systems i.e the WBS Elements has status "MDLK" Master data locked.... Why is this set. Is it standard? Can we eliminate this?

>>> As the WBS is automatically created via integration. Use this status to prevent the user change it by mistaken. To behonest, I do not this logic, but it is standard behaviour.

Hi Everybody,

Are there no answers for these questions. I request the expert to kindly look into my questions.

Hi,

There is no one-to-one mapping of project structure from cProjects into SAP-PS. The structure you are getting is standard features of cProjects & on creation of projects in PS from cProjects, WBSE status will be also locked. There is similar thread in this forum for your query.

I understood that cProjects & SAP-PS won't work side by side. cProjects will work mostly where logistics is n't there whereas SAP-PS is more into logistics execution.

Let us see others view on this thread also.

Hope this will help you.
