Purpose PUBLIC 2
1 Purpose
Overview
For many purposes, companies run projects to plan and coordinate the work, staff employees, and track project progress and costs. In this scenario, a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) as an
accounting structure is created. Planned project costs (uploaded by the project financial controller) can be captured in SAP Analytics Cloud. After releasing all or part of the project, the project is
executed. Time can be recorded, and project-related purchasing can be performed. In finance, allocations or general journal entries can be done with regard to project WBS elements. The project
financial controller monitors the project costs through overview pages and detailed project reporting. At period end, depending on the type of project, different period-end closing activities such
as overhead application or settlement can be executed for a project. Afterwards, the financial controller completes and closes project parts and then closes the complete project.
This document provides a detailed procedure for testing this scope item after solution activation, reflecting the predefined scope of the solution. Each process step, report, or item is covered in its
own section, providing the system interactions (test steps) in a table view. Steps that are not in scope of the process but are needed for testing are marked accordingly. Project-specific steps must
be added.
Note Values in this test script (decimal notation, date formats, and so on) are presented in U.S. standard notation. If your test system is set up to use a different notation, enter values as
appropriate.

Test Administration
Note If you are planning to use project coding mask for your projects, remember the following:
● You need to define the coding key before you create the project and determine exactly what your coding mask should be.
● Coding mask cannot be created if project with same key already exists.
● Coding mask once created can be deleted, if a project with the same key does not exist.
With Define Project Coding Mask, you will be able to define the Coding Keys which determine the naming/nomenclature of the projects created in the scope items, namely, 1NT- Project
Control - Finance, 35E- Project Control – Research and Development Projects and 35F- Project Control – Capital Projects. The usage of Project Coding Mask is not supported for the scope
items such as J11- Customer Project Management - Project-Based Services and 1A8- Internal Project Management - Project-Based Services.

2.5.6 Maintain Budget Availability Profile using Self Service Configuration (SSC) UI app (Optional)
Test Administration
Note This is an optional step. Before creating a Budget Availability Profile, you must consider the following guidelines.
There are various restrictions when you try to change the budget availability control settings. If commitments or actual costs are already posted, you can no longer activate the checks.
Purpose
The Maintain Budget Availability Profile app is used to create the Budget Availability control profile.
Prerequisites
If you intend to use Project Budget, make sure that you activate the non-standard scope item Predictive Commitments Management (2I3) which is a prerequisite for budgeting. Once activated,
commitment management ledger 0E is active and applicable for all company codes and countries/regions. These commitments are updated in Extension Ledger 0E (predelivered) in ACDOCA table.
Commitments are reduced by various business transactions such as goods receipt. The default content for Project Budgeting utilizes profiles PS001 and you can either update this profile or create
your own profile via SSCUI Maintain Budget Availability Control Profile for Projects.
Ensure that you perform the Preliminary Steps of this document to update the following:
● Maintain Financial statement YPS2
● Tag ACT_COST which is mandatory for G/Ls relevant for Budget check. Note that currently Commitment/Budget do not work for Purchase order without material.
● Maintain Financial Statement Visions (FSV)
● Assign Semantic Tags for FSV
● Set Report Relevancy
● Replicate Runtime Hierarchy. Make sure G/Ls relevant for Budget are part of this structure.
To view commitments in the report, an open purchase order and/or requisition must exist. For details on creating purchase orders, refer to Consumable Purchasing (BNX).

4 Test Procedures
This section describes test procedures for each process step that belongs to this scope item.
4.1 Create Project
Purpose
In this activity, you can create projects of the following type based on the business requirement, with the project definition and WBS element using the Fiori app Project Control - Enterprise
Projects (F3215):
● Overhead Project
● Investment Project
● Project with Revenue
● Statistical Project
Overhead Projects profile is used to support the planning and monitoring of project-related costs ranging from simple, internal order such as projects to hierarchical projects accounting structures,
such as R&D projects. The user can plan and post costs for the project, monitor the project, and finally close the project. Overhead projects allow the settlement of costs to different G/L accounts
and costs centers based on the settlement rule created.
Investment projects profile is used in Capital Investment scenarios with the purpose of supporting companies to manage and control the enterprise-wide project related investments. Capital
Investment projects are used to capture the costs of assets under construction (AuC) during the construction phase and create the final asset once this phase is completed. Capital investment
Projects are mostly undertaken by asset and product centric companies.
Projects with Revenue allows revenue G/L journal entries postings after release. The profitability segment characteristics can be maintained in the settlement rule, however running the settle-
ment is not required anymore due to the direct attribution of cost postings.
Statistical projects are used for statistical cost postings and project cost reporting purposes only. Therefore, in statistical projects, no overhead calculations or settlements can be executed. At the
WBS element level, you must set the cost center to which the costs are actually posted by default.
For hierarchical project accounting requirements, you can also create a hierarchical project structure by calling up the Project Planning application from the Project Control app.

4.13.5 Monitor Projects via Project Budget Report
Test Administration

Purpose
In this activity, you can analyze the cost structure of your project and check planned budget.
Based on the budget availability profile selected during the project creation, you can see the budget consumption report for a particular fiscal year or overall project duration.
Prerequisites
If you intend to use Project Budget, make sure that you activate the non-standard scope item Predictive Commitments Management (2I3) which is a prerequisite for budgeting. Once activated,
commitment management ledger 0E is active and applicable for all company codes and countries. These commitments are updated in Extension Ledger 0E (predelivered) in ACDOCA table. Com-
mitments are reduced by various business transactions such as goods receipt. The default content for Project Budgeting utilizes profiles PS001 and you can either update this profile or create your
own profile via the configuration activity Maintain Budget Availability Control Profile for Projects.
Ensure that you perform the Preliminary Steps of this document to update the following:
● Maintain Financial statement YPS2
