SAP PS- Useful Tables Linkage to fetch data from various tables

Purpose

This document would be useful for beginners who usually post new thread regarding table links. Sometimes we did not able to recall relation between different tables during New Requirement either we have worked before or not.

Information

Plan Cost:

(1) Manual Cost Planning (WBS Elements):

Pass WBS as into PRPS-PSPNR and obtain the PRPS-OBJNR.

Pass PRPS-OBJNR to RPSCO-OBJNR where value type would be RPSCO-WRTTP = 1 and get Plan cost by adding the value of RPSCO table WLP00, WLP01,…to…. WLP16.

(2) Network Costing:

if we does not have network number than Pass WBS number (PRPS-POSID) to AUFK-PSPEL and get AUFK-AUFNR.

Pass the network number to AFKO-AUFNR and obtain AFKO-AUFPL.

Pass AFKO-AUFPL to AFVC-AUFPL and obtain AFVC-OBJNR (object number for Network Activity).

pass AFVC-OBJNR to RPSCO-OBJNR where value type RPSCO-WRTTP = 1 and get Plan cost by adding the valueof RPSCO table WLP00, WLP01,…to…. WLP16

(3) Actual Cost: if you need actual cost from RPSCO table than you should choose WRTTP=4 rest whole logic would be same in above.

other optional table: COEP-CO Object: Line Items (by Period), this table is also useful when we want to create a custom report line item wise or according to Date/period/fiscal year.

Pass OBJNR to COEP-OBJNR and fetch COEP-BELNR, WTGBTR where COEP-WRTTP=4 and VRGNG NE KOAO.

if you need value according to date range

Pass COEP-BELNR to COBK-BELNR fetch COBK-BUDAT

Compare COBK-BUDAT to selection parameter date and select records on or before selection parameter.

If BUDAT is equal or less than selection parameter date which is 01.01.2015 then select this entry.

Compare COBK-BELNR to COEP-BELNR and obtain COEP-WTGBTR

Budget:

Budget Type:

1. Annual Budget

2. Overall Budget

This is defined in budget profile:

   -Only annual budget.
-Overall Budget.
-Annual + Overall Budget

BPJA: this table is for Budget Annual: For this we have pass PRPS-OBJNR to BPJA-OBJNR and fetch BPGE-WTJHR.
BPGE: This table is for Budget Overall: For this we have pass PRPS-OBJNR to BPGE-OBJNR and fetch BPGE-WLGES.

 

In above table we can have link between PRPS and above two tables. we need to pass OBJNR of WBS to BPEG & BPJA table to fetch values.

Status: SAP hase different types of Status as below:

1. System Status: which is SAP Standard Status, User can not interfere with SAP System Status. according to transaction system status would be activated. Example: CRTD, REL, CNF, TECO & CLSD etc

2. User Status: this is a User defined status which user himself creates and use as per business function/process.

Tables:

JEST-Object Status

JCDO-Change Documents for Status Object (Table JSTO)

TJ02-System Status

TJ02T- text for system status

JSTO-Status Object Info

JCDS-change Document for system and user status

TJ30-User Status

TJ30T-Text for user status

Logic to get User Status of Activity:

Pass the network number to AFKO-AUFNR and obtain AFKO-AUFPL.

Pass AFKO-AUFPL to AFVC-AUFPL and obtain AFVC-OBJNR (object number for Network Activity). where VORNR  is equal to activity number.

then Pass AFVC-OBJNR  to JCDS and get status starting with E* where status inactive= blank
Now Pass AFVC-OBJNR to JSTO OBJNR and get STSMA
Pass STSMA  and Status with E* to TJ30T and get TXT04.

if we need status for any object than we should have OBJNR for required object for Example: if we need to fetch status of WBS than Pass PRPS-OBJNR to JEST-OBJNR. this will return like I0001 or I0002 etc which are internal naming but if you want to see text than you should pass I0002 to TJ02T than you will get status as below:

1.JPG

Commitment:

Commitment is a value which are liabilities arising from contractual obligations incurred on time to time basis. i projects we need to estimate our cost/investment.

to get values forcommitment we should use below link:

Table COOI-Commitments Management: Line Items

Pass OBJNR of PS object in COOI-OBJNR to get values

other option is Pass OBJNR to RPSCO table and fetch values basis of RPSCO-WRTTP = 21,22,23,24.

Integration with HR:

In SAP we have major integration between PS and HR.

we need to check table:

CATSDB – CATS: Database Table for Time Sheet

this table contain all data posted to HR like time sheet whether this is approved or not.

Pass WBS/Network to fetch time sheet posted by Personnel Number.

CATSPS- Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS): Transfer to PS

Pass Personnel Number in PA0001-PERNR and get all details of Personnel Number.

PA0027-HR Master Record: Infotype 0027 (Cost Distribution)

Pass Personnel Number or WBS to get cost distribution list.

Integration with MM:

for integration with MM we can refer tables like: EKKN-Account Assignment in Purchasing Document.

      Hi Sunil,

      Just Giving you one Suggestion, Pls add COAS table Details for order against WBSE.

      this table helps to find Orders raised using WBS as account assignment.

      Hi Srinivasan,

      Yes i have checked this document also and this is very good document.

      i thought that every person has different way of seeing or comfort level. so i have created the same. In real time some consultant use SE11 but some SE16 so its totally depend on individual comfort level.

      as far as my concern, i am able to understand both documents and i usually refer both documents as well.

      Thanks for your support!! and expecting more informative documents so we can learn more.

      thanks & regards
