This document was created to assist the consultant in creating "Cost Clement value categories for Project reporting for standard SAP hierarchy reporting. I discovered that my cost elements were not assigned to the Value categories.
Value Categories are used to group cost for Standard SAP Hierarchy reports. The following are among the cost/revenue/payment values available for Value Category reports:
The PS (Project Systems) Value categories work for PS 'hierarchy' reports only, and not for Cost Element and line item reporting. Value categories are used to report Cost, Revenues or specific Statistical key figures (SKF's). All Cost Elements should be Assigned a group or range of Cost Elements to the Value Categories for cost reporting within PS.
Validate the Cost Element Value Categories, by displaying the exiting Value Category assignments to determine the next step:
Once, the unassigned Cost Elements have been identified, the next step is to assign these Cost Elements to a Value Category.
Meet with the Accounting Manager or Controller to receive reportingguidance on how the Cost Elements should be categorized. The primary components of assigning Cost Element/s to a Value Category require the following:
The following components (Nodes) are required to create the Cost Element group. Each node has exactly one parent node (predecessor). The “depth” (the level) of the node corresponds to the number of its predecessors increasing up to the root of one. This means that the roots have level 1.
Create/Edit Value Category – OPI1 = configuration for Project systems Value Categories and OIK1 configuration for Plant Maintenance
When editing the “Value Category” ensure you are in the correct component, as some companies have multiple components in this example there are two.
Next select the Value Category to edit:
For this example select External Services. Assign Cost Element to the Value Category – OPI2 = configuration
Next step is to enter the Cost Elements that will be assigned to this Value Category. This can be done in two ways. The recommend method is #1
Once the Cost Elements have been assigned to a Value Category, execute CJVC to ensure all Cost Elements have been assigned. If any Cost Elements are unassigned return to Step 1.
