4 Likes 1,677 View 1 Comment

Hello,

In this blogs we will see the configuration required in SAP S/4HANA Central Finance 1809 for Replication of
WBS for Central Projects reporting.

This is suitable where customer is creating and editing projects in a source system and want to do the project
reporting on costs and revenues posted to WBS elements in the Central Finance system. The Central Projects
(WBS) – Reporting Scenario allows you to subsequently post FI documents (journal entries) and CO
documents with the account assignment to a work breakdown structure (WBS) element and use the project
reporting in the Central Finance system for those postings.

Lets see the Architecture first

Architecture (taken from SAP guide)

Prerequisites Source System

• RFC Connection is set in both systems under SM59

• Below notes are implemented in source system
• 2513048
• 2553477

Now lets see the configuration in Source System

1. Transaction code – SALE

2. Modelling & Implementing Business Processes > Maintain Distribution Model and Distribute Views

3. Go to Edit mode and click on create Model View

 4. Enter the details and
model will appear

5. Select Model and click “Add BAPI”

 6. Enter details as below:

Sender – ECC source

Receiver – S4 Target

Interface – WorkBreakdownStruct

Method – SaveReplica

3. Select the view > Environment > Generate Partner Profiles

4. Execute
5. Select the model view (in next screen) and follow as screen
6. Go to the project model and expand the tree to the last node Receiver determination: no filter and
double click it.
7. Click “create filter group”
8. Add filter on controlling area or project profile

Prerequisites Target System

• Business systems are defined

• Customizing for projects in the source and the Central Finance system is done
• Ensure that the project configuration in the Central Finance system fits the project configuration in
the source systems.
 • Ensure that the definition of the project mask defined in the Central Finance system does not lead to
inconsistencies with the project masks defined in the source systems.
• Mapping action for Project and WBS is set to “OBLIGATORY”
• Business Add-In (BAdI) Enhance Processing of Project Data for project identifiers is implemented

Configuration for SAP AIF

9. Activate the BC set FINS_CFIN_AIF_PS in transaction SCPR20

10. In transaction /AIF/ERR under namespace /FINCF and Interface name PS_OBJ the AIF messages can
be managed
11. Start transaction /AIF/DEL_STRUC_CACHE to display correct texts

Configuration in Central Finance System

12. Create an Application Link Enabling (ALE) distribution model in the Central Finance system for
sending and receiving project data using transaction SALE or BD64
13. Assign a process code for the Central Projects (WBS) – Reporting Scenario using transaction WE20.
14. Launch transaction BD64 and follow the screen
15. Check that the parameters are checked and execute
16. In transaction WE20 select the “Partner LS” and “source system” and select new under “inbound
parameters”
17. Complete the details and “SAVE”

Check Settings for Replication of Projects

18. Transaction SA38

19. Enter FINS_CFIN_PS_CHECK and execute
20. Enter Logical system and execute

The report displays a log of the success, warning and error messages for the configuration settings
determined during the check.

If their is no error then replication of WBS will be started in CFIN scenarios and any error in replication will be
landed in AIF error handling space and the errors needs to be worked upon.

Thanks and enjoy learning !!!
