Common WBS (ID) in different Company codes

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Could we have common  WBS ID (same ID ) in two different Projects belong to different company code in same controlling area. Can coding mask be helpful to use common WBS in different project.

One of SAP Note reviles that it can be done. Note is - 1596031 - VF 156: Internal billing doc. finds incorrect WBS element

Awaiting for kind respond.

Thanks Indeed.

Hi Ankit,

You cannot have same WBS ID for two different company codes within same Controlling area..

The note you mentioned is not catering to your requirement. it is to do with stock transfers for WBS where the receiving and sending plants uses the same WBS.

As ID are unique in the DB you cannot have similar ids being stored in the database.. what's your requirement here?

Dear Sammar / Sanjeev / Amit

That is the inter company sales scenario. There is no sale order creation at CC B. CC B raises direct sale invoice to CC A based on PO. Following are the points-

1- Sale order creation at CC A for any end customer.

2- PR's are generated from sale order it self.

3- Based on PR's , PO is made at CC A and given to CC B.

4- CC B does not create any sale order and based on received PO, it starts raw material reservation / procurement and completes the production and brings the FG stock.

5- Outbound delivery and PGI at CC B to CC A.

6- Good receipt at CC A from CC B.

7- Sale invoice creation at CC B to CC A for revenue.

In case of point 5 outbound delivery, system is taking CC A WBS but we want system to take CC B WBS ( from PO account assignment category).

Vice versa in case of point 6 good receipt system will take WBS of CC B but we want system to take WBS of CC A .

Please suggest something.

Awaiting for your kind respond asap.

Thanks Indeed.

Hi Ankit,

As mentioned by Sanjeev, you need to use STO with inter-company.. Take help from your MM and FI consultants.. You cannot do much here from a PS side..unfortunately..

the scenario you have described can be easily mapped into STO process.. Also the way the current process is designed your accounting entries are not correct.. So my suggestion would be to take help of your MM and FI guys and sort the STO process..

Dear Sammar / Sanjeev,

Thx for the instant reply

Actually the problem is  -

CC A is having the one end customer for which the sale order is created. From this sale order PR's are being generated and PO is created accordingly and given to CC B for production. CC A & CC B both are having different project definitions and different WBS. When after the completion of production CC B creates outbound delivery to CC A.  In which system is taking WBS of CC A in account assignment category (from PO) but it must take CC B WBS .We want system to use WBS of CC B in account assignment category.

Suggest something on that ! or do you find some other ways to handle the same.

Awaiting for kind respond.

Dear Ankit,

While creating sales order (in CC B) with reference to PO (From CC A) for production, WBS are taken from project definition of CC A , thats why system reflect WBS from CC A  during PGI.

Please check both sales orders 1. Customer sales order and sales order(in CC B)  to CC A (respect to PO for production).

Also share screen shots of Sales orders so that we can provide better solutions.

Hi Ankit,

Once you ensure project stock by MMBE or MBBS transaction then there is two way to transfer project stock by STO and transfer with 412 Q movement wbs to wbs. so check with your MM and FI consultant for how they are managing valuation for kind of material.

Then do accordingly. let me know if more information required.
