Dear ps experts,

all machinery suppliers we are procuring 3 years spares.As on date we raised regular indent through system

but this spares will be utilize in future not now.

How this will  come in inventory of plant (project)  & how to capitalize ?

Hi Prasad

As  you are procuring spares once in 3 years, and utilised when and when required so in that case you have to procure the material to plant stock, transfer it to project stock during consumption. create sales order with respect to project ,in this way you can manage inventory and capitalize

please check and revert back

Hi Prasad

you can raise PR without account assignment to project but procure for plant stock.

so noe the stock is in plant. As and when you require you can transfer stock from plant to project and you create sales order with account assignment WBS,with respect to sales order create delivery

thus the materials used in project are capitalised by sales order

Hi,

In project structure create a separate WBS element and name it as Spares.Attach the components and release then procure. Which would be stocked as project stock.

The point is if project stock exists then systemw would not allow you to set the close unless you expect project to go for open period.

Otherwise change procurement indicator network ie account assignment as N and procure.

So cost will be posted to network and settled to respective receiver ie WBS.

Alternatively, you can indent the material directly with account assignment K and stored against cost center.

Hope above makes sense. Discuss with your MM team members for more clarity on this one.

Thanks,

Dear Prasad,

I hope we can follow two procedures:

1. We can procure the material under plant stock , and later it can be transfered to project at the time of project consumption.

2. Craete one Common Project and WBS , ( SPARES) , Try to procure all the Common  materials which are related to common for all project , And this project will be carry forward by every year .

Hi Prasad,

Your requirement here can be catered with Valuated Project Stock function in PS.

First, make sure that your project is enable with "Valuated Stock" indicator in the Project Profile.

Then, proceed with the creation of material component PR in CJ20N, use item category L, and then you will get the option to trigger PR & Reservation.

The PR process will continue until Goods Receipt, where the costs will be posted to Inventory (Project Stock). So, your project will not bear any costs at this point.

Until the time you want to utilize the spares, you can then do Goods Issue for the Reservation, and then costs will be posted to your project. Then, you can later settle and capitalize the costs.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

if i right understood your problem then choose procurement type

WE = Reservation plant stock

while adding material in component overview wherein priority for plant is 1 means plant stock.

2nd way create manual indent in ME51n with the reference of wbs for that you have to choose account assignement category as Q.

how to capitalize = you have to create settlement profile wherein define valide reciever and settlement rule for the same.

means lower wbs would be settle it's supperior wbs and in last depend on project type means if invesment type project then final receiver would be asset. and if customer project then PSG if copa is available or CC and more.
