    Clarification on DIP PRofile

    Govind Krishna Kumar Thiagarajan 28 posts since Sep 1, 2010Clarification on DIP PRofile Feb 13, 2013 6:35 AMHi Experts,

    We are trying to build a billing model as follows...pls let us know why we are getting this "No expenditure itemerror"

    Objective - the aim of the billing model is read actual costs that are posted to a WBS element in SAP FIthrough a GL account (that have corresponding cost elements mapped to it) and then create a DMR using DIPand Resource related billing.

    Steps carried out1) created a DIP profile for Billing and Results Analysis and assigned a DMR type to it.2) Selected characteristics with the following items:a) Cost elementb) Object numberc) Period(SAP default)d) Transaction currency(SAP default)e) Unit of Measure (SAP default)3) Cost element is marked for material determination also.4) Set the source for cost as - Actual cost line items5) Set the source for cost criteria with Cost element and maintained a SET for it.6) A single material called SERVICE was entered in the material determination window.7) Criteria for material determination was set based on Cost element and specified a SET there.8) Created a sales order and assigned the project to it under Account assignment.9) Actual costs are posted to the WBS element using direct FI entries in FB01. Cost GL accounts are usedto pass the entry and they are all mapped to a cost element also.

    The issueWhen doing DP91 with the sales order number belonging to the project, system says - NoExpenditure items found. But I can see that there are actual costs posted to the GL and costelement for the project code (WBS element) and the entries are available in tables COBK andCOEP with the CO document number.The cost data also gets displayed in CJ74 Project actual costs transaction.

    So, what is missing here and why the system is not able to read the costs which really exist?Doesnt the DIP profile and RRB functions in SAP support this model?

    Check whether Condition type EK01 is assigned or not in Pricing Condition. This will help in picking up theActual Cost related to Project. Book some expense against WBS and then check Dp91 it should work.
