Project Cost - WBS Element

[Former Member]

Experts,

If we collect costs at the Project level (i.e by entering Project Number and not by the WBS Element) on the PO, is there anyway we can kind of split that costs to the WBS Elements - Please note that we are doing a settlement on the costs collected by the project to an AuC during period end.

All answers/inputs/thoughts would be duly appreciated and rewarded with points.

Thanks,

Nandita

as Venkat said, you CANNOT post cost directly to project definition..

as per my understanding you have a PO and you want to allocate it to different WBS elements?

example PO XXXXXX with amount 500; you want say 350 to go to WBSX and 150 to go to WBSY? is that your requirement?

if yes, you could do manual reposting (500 will go to WBSX then you repost 150 to WBSY)

or perhaps in your settlement you define more than 1 settlemtn rule and you can allocate it by percentage, amount or equivalence number to several WBS.

best regards.

have seperate line items in PO with assignment to different WBS, this way no post processing transactions will be required

You cannot post to project as stated by others - so forget that

Cost can not be booked at the Project Definition because Project definition is not a Cost Object. For collecting the cost you have to use WBS element only. To distribute the cost from one WBS to other WBS elements then u can use tcode:KB11N.
