Cost Planning 

Prerequisites

You need to create a work breakdown structure to be able to plan overall cost for a project.

Procedure

  1. In either Logistics or Accounting, choose Project System ->Financials -> Planning -> Costs in WBS -> Overall Values -> Change
  2. The Cost Planning: Initial Screen appears.
  3. Enter data as required.
  4. The first time that you plan costs for a project, the system automatically creates planning version 0.

  5. Choose Continue.
  6. The Change Cost Planning: WBS Element Overview screen appears.
    It displays the project with its WBS elements and the fields (ready for input) for the overall planning values.
    Cost planning initially uses the overall cost likely to be incurred for a project.
    In the planning profile, you can specify whether cost planning is possible on all WBS elements, or only on those that were defined as planning elements. Define planning elements in the master data for the project (operative indicator).
  7. Enter Planning values for the WBS elements on which you wish to plan.
  8. Use Annual overview or Annual values to enter the time frame for distribution of the planning values.
  9. Choose Check.
  10. The system checks your cost planning.
