Is it possible to create a WBS without Company code

Hello,

I am a SAP CRM guy and I am creating a WBS in PS system from CRM Campaigns.

My question is whether its possible to create a WBSE without having a Comapny code?

The reason we need this is because we are planning campaigns at a very high level and later we want to procure for these cmapaings at multiple company codes and cost centers through SRM. So we do not want to restrict the WBSE to one comapny code.

Regards,

Vicky

Hi Ammar,

The reason this scenario does not seem to be feasible is we have a one to one relationship between campaigns and WBSEs. Creating multiple WBSEs would translate as creating multiple campaigns, which we want to avoid at the first place as this increases the amount of data entry for planning and planning will become based on the procurement we is not the right way.

However, atleast I am sure now that I cannot have WBSE without company code.

Abdul,

Now I am thinking whether its possible to create a Project instead of WBSE and then procure wrt project?

I need to check the possibility of creating project from a campaign, but from the procument perspective, do you know if its possible to procure wrt project?

Thanks & Regards,

Vicky

No, It is not possible..

Project Definition is just a frame work to flow default values to WBSE , it is not a Cost Object.

Hi Vicky,

Have you tried looking into the possibility of using internal order for your procurement requirements on different company codes and cost centers? I am not sure if that can be integrated with CRM but it will definitely cater to your other requirements.

Ammar,

As far as I know, there is only WBSE avaialble as integration with ECC for CRM campaigns.

Company code is mandatory for WBSE, but you can assign multiple company code in a single project, from same controlling area.

Hi Vicky,

A company code is a mandatory field for a WBS which cannot be changed once planned or actual data has been assigned to the WBS (I guess you can understand why it is mandatory now).

One option for your scenario could be to create a project definition and a top level WBS on a specific company code. You can assign your CRM campaign to this top-level WBS. Once you are able to determine the right company codes required, just create new WBS under the top-level one with the changed company codes (a project can have multiple WBS with different company codes). All your procurements could then be -re-directed to these new WBS.

I would recommend you to test this scenario and revert back.

Ammar
