WBS line item settlement to WBS

[Former Member]

Hi dear all,

anyone knows if is possible to settle the cost from one WBS object to others WBS elements, item by item instead of the whole amount?

For example, imagine i have one WBS object 1 with shared costs composed by 2 invoices/requisitions. now i want to settle this 2 invoices/requisitions.

1st invoice i want 50% for WBS object 2 and 50% for WBS object 3

2nd invoice i want 40% for WBS object 2 and 60% for WBS object 4

is it possible?

I don't know if this is importante, but the the costs will go to WBS object 1 through MM - Purchase Requisition (me21n).

If you have any doubt understanding my problem just feel free to get in touch

thanks you in advance gurus

Hey mates, thank you for your help. there is really no way of doing what i want.

and actually there is no sense. They must settle the correct WBS objects when creating the PR/PO and not all in the end os the period.

is much easier.

thanks guys

nothing standard

need to develop

you could post the invoie with debit to different WBS elements as required - this will mean no need for settlement

One way that i can think of a solution is to have distribution rule created for WBS elements with correct percentage allocations.

Hey guys,

i was search based on what Ritesh said and i found a way of make the line item settlement (Tcode: CJIC) , but unfortunatly this works only for WBS objects with AUC created.

and is not my case, because i'll have one WBS object with shared costs that will not have AUC

i think Virendra is right. there is no standart way of settle WBS objects line items as i want.

Shortly, the keyuser want to be able to go to the WBS object with the shared costs, see all line items and after settle one by one to the respectives WBS objects receptors.

This happen because the user that makes de purchase requisition is not the same responsible for allocating the costs.

if anyone knows something more would be apreciate

Mate,

Not right to say that you can only do line item settlement only for AuC's . In your PR/PO account assignment you can maintain seperate WBS for each item that you will invoice. Back in the WBS you can maintain sender as WBS and maintain distribution rule with percentage allocation.

I agree with Virendra, there is no standard way to define the percentage split between two WBS in PR/PO. But if i were you i would have created mutliple line items in my PR/PO splitting the cost based on the percentages and changed the account assignment to the required WBS and then posted actual.

This is not a clean approach but better than a Z development. Let me know

yes dude, that i already know.

the problem is:

at the creation moment of the pr/po the user will assign all the item to one WBS (shared cost wbs).

In the end of the month other user will settle the cost of that WBS (shared cost wbs) to the corrects WBS's.

that's why they want to do it item by item and not the amount assigned to the WBS (shared cost)

that i'm affraid that are no standart way.

but regarding your sugestion, you're right, the problem here is the workflow and the separation of duties!!!!
