SAP PS Frequently Asked Questions

Workforce Planning and Project Status

When a project status is set back to REL from TECO or CLSD status, the work force planning done is getting deleted completly at the activity. 

Run cmp9(Evaluation again) and you will have workforce planning back. 
 

WorkForce Planning

We are using CMP2 for doing workforce planning in our Org, we attach reources to activities, now the issue is we want to put an end date to the resource attached so that the particluar resource does not appear in cmp2 . 
P.S - we have tried by attaching resource to WBS too, it doesn't work. 

In CMP2 - mark the relevant line - press the bottom with the pencil - make a new end date and save. 
Next time you enter CMP2 the start date has to be after the end date you entered. 
Be aware that the end date affect the work list for the person in CATS. 
 

Table for System status (wbs)

I am trying to create one query to find out wbs status assigned Open PO. I have located the relevant file for PO but not able to get table which stores system status. 

The table names are JEST, TJ02T 
Pass the OBJNR to the table JEST you will get System Status Number. 
Once you get System Status Number pass it to table TJO2T you will get System Status text. 
 

WBS and company codes 
 
Is it possible to have two different company code within the same WBS structure?

For a single WBS element - NO 
Within the structure - YES provided company codes belong to same controlling area 
 

ISBD system status

Does anyone know if system status ISBD should be set if a budget tolerance with action "warning" is exceeded, however the total budget is not exceeded. We have the following set up: 
80% Warning 
90% Warning with mail 
100% Error message 
At 80% the system status ISBD (Insufficient budgeting) is set; is this correct. 

You are right. The status ISBD (Insufficient budgeting) is set once the tolerence limit 1 is exceeded. 
 

Project version: Can I go back to a previous version?

Can I go back to a previous version of a project? For instance, a new project version is created automatically on release of the project. Is it possible to go back to the previous version in order to "undo" the release? 

Project versions are used as snapshots of projects at different status or manually triggered points. You would not be able to go back to versions because the version is not the operative project. 
You will not be able to undo a REL status. 
 

Close the Project

How can I close the project, after closing any PRs and PO no Processing?

Open the project in CJ20N. Go to menu bar path: Edit-> status-> Close. Save project. Please note that you must first have gone through the normal progression of status moves from CRTD to REL to TECO before you will be able to close.
