Define the cost elements for entering work values, contract values, planned costs, and planned revenues depending on the controlling area and project profile.
The cost elements for work values, contract values and planned revenues for the remaining plan must be primary cost elements; cost element type 11 (revenue) or 12 (revenue reduction).
The cost elements for planned costs must be primary cost elements with the cost element category “1” (primary cost/cost reducing revenues).
Work values are posted as statistical actual revenues.Offsetting postings ensure the WBS element is balanced. You define for each controlling area and project profile for which cost element the offsetting posting is made.
You use grouping characteristics to identify cost elements that have been assigned to various project profiles in the input and output screens for the construction progress report and remaining plan.
If you want to use the delivered sample templates for data screens you must define the following grouping characteristics:
1 Main contract 2 Hourly wage 3 From third party 4 Invoice deduction
5 Planned revenues 6 Planned costs
You must assign a cost element to grouping characteristics 1-4 for work values and contract values for each controlling area and project profile.
You must assign a cost element to grouping characteristic 5 for planned revenues for each controlling area and project profile.
You must assign a cost element to grouping characteristic 6 for planned costs for each controlling area and project profile.

Assign Cost Elements for Construction Progress Report and Valuation
for each controlling area and project profile:
Specify the cost element under which the system should create the offsetting postings for the statistical revenue elements for the work values.
Assign primary cost types that should be used for the CO postings.Define whether cost elements for the work values are required entries.
Assign a grouping characteristic for each cost element.
You have defined the following grouping characteristics, which are used for the input and output screens.
Characteristic 1Main order
Characteristic 2Hourly wage
Characteristic 3From third party
Make the following assignments:
For the controlling area 0001 and project profile 0001:
Cost element 4710Characteristic 1
Cost element 4711Characteristic 2
Cost element 4712Characteristic 3
For the controlling area 0001 and project profile 0002:
Cost element 0815Characteristic 1
Cost element 0816Characteristic 2
Cost element 0817Characteristic 3
