Actual Settlement using CJ88

[Former Member]

Hi, I am new to Projects Systems... After I execute CJ88, below results displayed. Does the actual settlement happened? Under statistics, am not seeing the number displays for "Settlement Executed".. But Processing completed with no errors.

What is the expected result after we execute the CJ88? What are all basic the validations needs to be done after executed the CJ88 transaction?

Did you check the box 'Detail list' when running CJ88 (or in the program background variant)

[raymond_giuseppi]

Also check the 'Check transaction data' box, so sender without new transaction data will be bypassed and in statistics will be counted in 'No transaction data available'.

Settlement Rule for the WBS is maintained from CJ20n

the cost from the WBS will be settled to this asset after running the settlement using CJ88, while running CJ88 make sure you have unchecked Test mode and Settlement period is correctly choosen.

After Settlement in details view you can see the WBS element , the FXA and the amount..

Hi Sammar.. Thanks a lottt for your help... We tried creating new project, but facing many issues... Can you kindly guide us if we want us to use Copy Project option in CJ20N, then what are the checklist need to follow to copy project for a company code?

[sammar81]

what's the error you are getting while copying project?

To get a project for a particular company code which already exists in your system, go to SE11, or SE16 and take the Project from PROJ table.

use this project to copy from and create a new one as suggested in the screen below..

I would suggest you to read some documentation available in SCN and SAP help to get yourself familiar with SAP PS. This is very basic stuff you are asking here..

Thanks a Lot for your patience and help!!!!!!!!!

here's how it should appear for you..

My project with 2 WBS Elements, I have posted to L2. The L2 WBS is checked for account assigned and is in REL status..

I posted using KB21N here's the document which was posted

here's CJI3 shows the same doc number and posted amount..

Hope this helps..

[sammar81]

I don't see the WBS element in your screenshot, which line item has it? Technically line item 40 should have WBS.. Can you please confirm that..

[sammar81]

For posting cost to WBS you should check that Account assignment indicator is checked for that WBS element and WBS is in Released Status. both can be checked/done through CJ20N.

If you got a success message for posted document there is no reason why it should not appear in CJi3 report.

Can you attach the screenshot of your FI document which you posted against the WBS element? this you can get from FB03.

Devaraj,

You need to post to a P&L account against the WBS element. Looks like you are posting to 2 Balance Sheet Accounts.

Find any P&L account, they are usually in the 5 series accounts. But I don't know your chart of accounts. For quick testing I will use FB50 and post the debit and credit to the same account, the debit to the WBS and the credit to a cost center.

For settlement you need costs posted to the WBS and on;y P&L accounts post to a cost object (WBS, Network Activity, Cost Center, Internal Order, etc.)

Hi Devaraja,

You can use F-02/FB50/FB60 (document type should be SA) to post actual cost the WBS which is your CO object or you can use KB15N or KB21N to post some actual cost to the WBS.

Once you have made the posting, check the values in CJI3 report.

Later on you can run the CJ88, if you are settling this cost to an AUC make sure you have created the settlement rule in CJ20n for the WBS.

1st Question :For cost posting through F-02/FB50/FB60/ABSO what are the mandatory things which needs to be done other than creating settlement rule in CJ20N?

2nd Question : We have posted using F-02 and we got this message as well : "Document 2******** was posted in company code ****" So we checked for this document in CJI3, but we could not find it, can you suggest where we can find this document?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Devaraj,

Adding to what Tammy has mentioned, You should get number in the Settlement executed row after you had run CJ88.

Before running CJ88, please check that you have actual cost posted for the WBS element/s of the Project. this can be checked using CJI3 or any S_ALR* reports.

Later on you can run CJ88 and check again in CJI3 and now you should see zero cost.

Hi Sammar Razdhan,

We are actually performing some testing and we need to see a number against the settlement executed in CJ88. So can you please let us know where we can post this cost for this project?

We tried ABSO, but we met with the below error:

Can you please suggest if there is an alternative posting method? Please guide us.

Looks like there was no settlement line items processed.

After settlement (transaction CJ88), we usually run transaction CJI3 to see if the expense lines have settled - e.g. the balance of the project should be zero.
