1 Create a Project

Procedural steps:

Access Project Builder through:

Via ECC Menu Logistics or Accounting > Project System > Project > Project Builder

Via Transaction Code CJ20N

Work List and templates Structure Tree Work AreaStructure Tree

The structure tree displays the project object (project definition, WBS element, Network, activity)

Worklist

You can store user-specifically frequently used project data (project definitions, networks, and WBS elements) in the worklist, so that you can access them quickly later. Furthermore, a list of the last five projects that you have worked on is always displayed in the worklist.

Work Area

In the work area, you see the details view of the object selected in the structure tree. You can also directly access overviews of subordinate objects. Here you can execute all the business transactions for project coordination and execution. You can always move

2

between the detailed view of the selected object and the overviews of the subordinate objects. There are two ways to create Project in Project Builder as 1).

Select appropriate Investment Profile for document posting.

Project Objects can be viewed as:

2 Manual Project Cost Planning

Cost planning for the Project can be done by various methods. We are using Manual Cost Planning (Hierarchical Planning)

Access transaction by:

Select the Project by taking drop down here or clicking F4

Select the version, 0 or 1 or 2 as only three versions are available in

If no error while check cost values then system will allow to save cost planning for version ‘0’

3 Project Budgeting:-

The Project Budgeting will be copying from the Project cost planned with suitable approved version, before scheduling the original project for actual executions. Default cost planning for budgeting is ‘0’.

Access transaction by:

Menu path Logistics Project System Financials Budgeting Original Budget Change

Transaction code CJ30

4 Release Quarterly Based amount Budgeted value:- Access the transaction by:

Via Menus Logistics -> Project system -> Financials -> Budgeting -> Release -> CJ32 – Change

Via Transaction Code CJ32

Once you click CJ32, the selection screen shall appear as follows

20

The Current Budget and Planned Totals at the right may be used as a reference to decide upon the budgets released amount. You can select the WBS Elements which have budgeted and have the system calculate the budget amounts as a fixed percentage of the Current Budget. In our case, we select all the WBS elements listed above. Then, using the menu path Edit Copy View (Shift + F1), choose 5th option “Current Budget” and giving the percentage as 25.

23

After released the Budget, Rlease Budgeted WBS element, so background system will be created AUC ( Asset Under Construction) or CWIP Asset with WBS data for monthly settlment form WBS to AUC and at the time of Capatilzation settlment from AUC to Fix Asset settlement

7 Creation and Change of Network Header and Activities:-

Access the transaction using:

Via Menus Logistics Project System Project Special Maintenance Functions Networks Create

Via Transaction Code CJ20N/ CN21

34

A network consists of the following:

Activities Activity elements Relationships

In the network header you can enter the following data, which are used as default values for the entire network:

Assignments to other object like WBS element Basic start (in case of Forward scheduling) or finish date (in case of backward

scheduling) as well as indicator for Auto scheduling Release and scheduled dates Assignments of organizational data, such as profit center

The process of creating Network manually is explained here.

8 Project Date Planning and Scheduling:-

8.1 Project Planning Board / Date Planning

1. Durations are maintained in each activity.2. Relationships are maintained among activities

8.1.1 Overview of Project Planning Board

Access the transaction using:

Menu path Logistics Project System Project Project Planning Board Change

Transaction code CJ2B

OR

2. From Project Builder by clicking Project planning board – button as shown below, on the application bar.

On the following Change Project Planning Board screen enter the necessary data:Before entering the project planning board, expand the project structure so that the activities are visible. These are then shown in the Project planning board as well. Users can go to planning board

38

Goto Settings Options. The following selection options will appear for scheduling

8.1.2 Other functions of Project planning boardAll activities in the network are scheduled. Dates are copied to WBS.

Critical activities are shown in red colour. The chain of critical activities is called as critical path.

There are various activities can be perform through planning board. Icons on the planning board are as follows:

8.1.3 WBS Scheduling

4. On the following Project change screen click on the select all icon.

5. Edit Function Schedule. Or click on the Schedule icon . System uses the networks start and finish date (in turn project start and finish dates since dates are copied from Project Definition) as the basis for calculating and displaying the earliest and latest dates for the activities.

6. Choose Edit Select WBS Elements.

8.1.4 Copying Schedule dates and extrapolating to WBS elements

7. Choose Edit Reconcile dates Copy scheduled dates. The system copies the maximum dates (earliest start and latest finish) determined in scheduling for each activity and displays them as date bars in the WBS elements.

10 Resource Planning in Internal Activities:-

Transaction:-Cj20n

As shown in below screen shot the required amount of work system will calculate automatically from duration Activity type is maintained under cost center which contains the per unit rate of the work. In below example work planned is 10 Days for activity Excavation for 5400 plant. Activity type will be taken from cost center.

45

Here we can distribute 10 Days work in different resources.

11 Material and Service procurement for project

Once the structure exists for the project, you can start to plan/add components to activities. Cost planning and scheduling takes place simultaneously.

46

To add component for an activity:

Select an activity

There are different views under the activity:

Adding material for an activity

There are two ways to add components to activities:1) By dragging and dropping from the template area

Drag and drop the “Material component” – object from template area to an activity. The screen will look as illustrated in the picture above. Give material definition, item category ‘L’ (stock ), and qty.

2) By selecting the Component overview – button, you can start to add components.

47

After the selection the screen looks as follows:

In this table you can add components to activities. Required fields are “Material”, “Requirement qty” and “Item category”.

1) Adding items which is manufactured by same BU: Always select “L Stock item” in the item category – field.

48

The alternatives when the item category marked as “L - Stock item” for material

[Reserve for network: Use this indicator to specify that a reservation is created for materials kept in stock (stock items).]

[Reserve. WBS element: You use this indicator to create a reservation for the non-stock item for the network and post the material in the project stock after goods receipt.]

Preq+Res – WBS elem.: Use this indicator to specify that the purchase requisition for the non-stock item and stock items, will be converted into a standard purchase order for the project.

[Prelim. Preq-WBS el: Specifies that a purchase requisition is created for the material and this purchase requisition is then converted into a preliminary order for the WBS element. No MRP-relevant reservation is created. After goods receipt for the purchase order, a receipt is posted to the project stock.]

[3rd party req. WBS el: Specifies that a purchase requisition should be created for the material and then converted to a third-party order for the WBS element. When the delivery address is separate from the plant address]
