Internal orders to WBS Element

[Former Member]

Hi,

I,m working in a Project System implementation project, where all other modules are already in use.As per the existing process, Internal orders are created for asset accounting.Those are of statistical. All the purchase orders & costs are booked referring to the internal orders, the same cost is directly settled to Asset Under Construction or Asset.As the internal orders are created as statistical, there is no seperate settlement process & all the costs are directly settled either in AUC or in Asset as & when they are incurred(posted).

Now as we are implementing Project Systems, Internal orders are going to be replaced by WBS Elements. Customer requirement is the same process of online settlement of costs to Assets from WBS Element & he doen't want to settle seperately.

Now the issue is, 1) how the process can be mapped in SAP?

I feel creating the WBS elements as statistical, the same process can be mapped. Is it possible/

2) As one project is already in progress & some postings have been taken place against internal orders, customer wants to see all those postings on new WBS element, now how to migrate the same to respective WBS element in the new system?

Thanks

Hi Kishore Ji,

For your question, simple answer is, you want to continue all AUC under Project Systems. So far, you have considered statistical internal orders, anyway, which is not possible for you to settle directly. So, please take that amount generate uploading document by using same account and using WBS element as debit and internal order as credit and status you release for internal orders.

WBS elements you create as statistical without selecting account assignment category.

Your problem will be solved.

Assign points without fail.

ALL THE BEST.

You can collect costs in WBS elements and directly settle to AUC. Refer to this documentation on <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/2a/f9f294493111d182b70000e829fbfe/frameset.htm">Investment Management</a>

For those costs that already reside in Internal order for partly completed asset, there could be many options. One of them could be the following one.

1) You may try KB61 to do a reposting of costs by refering the original document number. You can transfer the cost from itnernal order to WBS Element. This will be very tedious, though.

Hi Sridhar,

Thanks for ur reply.

Can we repost the costs of a statistical internal order to a statistical WBS Element? Is it possible?

B coz, I,m under impression that statistical Internal order will not carry any costs.

And as the customer wants to settle the costs directly to Asset even in case of wbs element, WBS element also shud be made statistical.

What r the mistakes in my assumptions & How to make the scenario possible

Thanks

Statistical internal orders have costs only for statistical purpose; therefore, costs cannot be re-posted to other objects.

If you need to record all costs in AUC, then there is no need to have an interim objects like internal order or WBS, why would you need them for statistical purpose. You may be better off to create as many AUCs.
