| Business Process Reference | 10.02.03.04. Manage Project Time Allocation |
Functional Overview
Time booking for projects is managed through the My Timesheet application. In certain situations, it is necessary to record time spent on non-project (business-as-usual, BAU) activities to enable tracking and reporting, without affecting project financials.
Statistical WBS Elements are utilized for logging hours not directly related to specific projects, primarily to monitor BAU costs. These elements are created by Financial Controllers for reporting purposes only, with costs assigned to the employee’s or contingent worker’s cost center. This enhancement streamlines the process by automatically populating the Receiver cost center when users save their timesheet entries, eliminating the need for manual input.
Scope and Objectives
Statistical project structures (WBS elements) are designed to capture non-project time for reporting. Since no costs are posted directly to statistical WBS elements, each time entry must specify a receiver cost object, specifically, a receiver cost center.
In standard SAP, the cost center can be derived from the WBS element itself. However, this approach would require creating duplicate WBS elements for each cost center, which is inefficient. To address this, the receiver cost center should be automatically provided during the time posting process.
Step | Description | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | From My Timesheet application, user creates a new entry and selects a Statistical WBS element to record non project time. | |
| 2 | Time is entered on the statistical WBS element. User submit the entry and save. | When user submit the entry, the standard field Receiver Cost Centre is being populated by the cost center assigned to the personnel id (from HR record). |
| 3 | Entry is saved. | The Receiver cost center is the sole cost receiver. |
