Responsibility area: Control GBS IS Projects |
Once the GBS IS Projects are approved by all concerned parts, it is needed to create the project structure.
The scope of the WBS Elements creation for GBS IS Projects is to all legal entities in Syensqo Group WW.
All GBS IS Projects need to be approved by all the concerned parts (Responsible Financial Controller and Responsible GBS Manager).
The PPMO committee:
- Defines the Business Case (Project Approval Form) with the project presentation (scope, zone, …)
- Estimates the budget needed for the projects
- Makes a global evaluation of the projects and vote
- Suggests the projects to be developed to get the CIO’s approval
Project Approval Form are approved in AODOCs in Document PPMO.
There are two possibilities when assigning the costs of WBS Element
1. Capex (Investment) - are all expenses related to a project and that the company can amortize in several fiscal years.
Tangible : A Tangible asset is something that you can touch such as equipment or hardware.
Intangible : An Intangible asset is a something that you cannot touch such as software of services
2. OTC (One time cost/Overhead/Opex) - An OTC linked to a project, is an expense which is not expected to reoccur.
After the approval of the project, the IS Controllers insert a new WBS Element Request in WBS Element Request file with the following information:

Everyday the MAC Analyst goes to the WBS Element Request file to verify if there is any new request from the IS Controllers.
When there is a new request, it is needed to parameterize the Project name in the tab Project List:

![]()
![]()
Note! Where do I get the customer 1 and customer 2? I need follow the procedure in 3.2 point:
Important!
It is very important to understand and verify the fields of the request before trigger the creation.

For SAP WP2 System:
All the requests, OTC and Capex are created by local team. I need to click on the link in column AP "Open ticket?", and an automatic e-mail will be filled with the requesting fields to be sent to freshdesk.
Example:
YY - Year. If 2020 - should be 20; if 2021 - should be 21... and so on.
XXX - Sequential number
Level 1 NHA-IYYNNN
Level 2 NHA-IYYNNN.01
Level 3 NHA-IYYNNN.01.7
Level 4- NHA-IYYNNN.01.7. LL . WWW Z
LL corresponds to the material code:
WWW identifies the Stream:
Z is to define if Capex Intangible or Tangible
Create a WBS element of level 4 (= WBS element attributable): NHA-I20025.01.7. 79. ISA L
The 2 last numbered positions are the material code linked to nature of the WBS element:
70 = MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS HARDWARE
72 = Equipment's Telecom
74 = Local Networks (LAN)
79 = Software
The last letters:
Three of them identify the Stream:
Final one is to define if Capex Intangible or Tangible
In the Description put the name of the project + “TAN” (for Tangible) or “INT” (for Intangible)
In Short ID: is automatic
Tick in the box: PE and Acct (Acct is Mandatory because the WBS is attributable)
Double click on the WBS of level 4 (for example on NHA-C17883.01.7.79.ISAL)
Check of the investment profile and the investment reason are right.
Enter the responsible code and the cost center.
Check if the box Acct asst elem. is well ticked.
Press Enter
Check of the investment profile and the investment reason are right.
Validate clicking on
Click on " Asset under construction "
Click on
In tab "General" enter in the field "Inventory note" : 01.7.70 or 01.7.79 (corresponding of the part of material code)
In tab "Allocations" enter the following information:
Evalutation group 4: 70 or 72 or 79 (linked to the material code)
Evalutation group 5: the budget number without the plan and followed by .01 (for ex 17883.01)
Investment reason: H0
Click to go back on
Validate clicking on
The system status must be set as Released for WBS elements before you can post actual costs to the project or confirm the actual dates
It is necessary to position on all the levels (lines become orange) by a click on each level created.
Press on EDIT – STATUS- RELEASE and SAVE
Remark : In PF2 for the WBS elements for CAPEX no need to enter a settlement rule receiver parameter (because the assets under construction is active during the creation of the WBS element)
VERY IMPORTANT!!!!
Use the transaction CJ20N in the last level of WBS to enter the position code linked to the Project Manager responsible => Search it in the field via the match code.
It is important to don’t leave it empty!
The networks under WBS Elements CAPEX should be imperative created only when the WBS element CAPEX will be completely created and saved. (Contrary that for Networks on OTC which is created in the same time that the WBS element on OTC).
Execute the transaction CJ20N
Enter the Project Definition code - Project –>Open

Extend the structure to see all levels under the Project Definition
Remark : the tab "Long Text" could be used to indicate some comments.
Reminder: The activities must be always created under a network !!!
Creation of the first activity
Click right on the "Network" (In the part "Project Structure: Description"), select create – Activity (internal)
In the right part of your screen, in "Identification and view selection" put the name of the activity requested by the controller preceded by the code Group.
Remark : T he number "0010" appears automatically.
Change the code of the "Control key"
The code "ZS01" to be replaced by "PD01" in the following case:
“System Status” : CRTD SETC is the status which appears as one created an activity.
“WBS element” : this code appears automatically.
Work Center” : The persons planned to work on specific activities (project or IT services) are identified in a "work center". A “work center" is assigned to each IT employee. This work center is communicated by the Project manager. If it is not communicated or unknown, the activity will be assigned by default to Work center" GBS-IT "
“Work” : Put the number of day planned for the activity or put the number "1" by default (if unknown).
In the tab " Dates ", select:
Start: " Must start on " and put the date of the beginning of the project
Fin.: " Must finish on " and put the date of the end of the project
Remark : As it is a network/activity for CAPEX no need to enter a settlement rule receiver parameter.
Redo the same way for each other Network activity needed.
Click on " Edit " - " Status " - " Release "
Click on save
Remark : The codes of networks/activities will be ONLY created (available) in SAP after this saving.
The following message appears => Click on Yes
Now the status is REL for the project definition, the WBS element and the activities.
Use the transaction CJ30 , update the budget amount on each level of the WBS elements created.
Enter the project definition. For example:

Press enter
Project definition example: NHA. PX KKK
KKK – Sequential number
WBS example: NHA.PX KKK.WWWO
WWW identifies the Stream:
ISA for Application
ISI for Infrastructure
NIS for Non IS
O is for OTC
Determining project definition sequential number
Execute the transaction " CN43N " in order to obtain the project list and their WBS element already created in PF2
Enter profile: Database prof. – introduce 000000000004
Click on “ execute ” or F8
You can see that the last created “Project Definition ” was: NHA.PX366
The new one to be created will be: NHA.PX367
NHA.PX366 is an example!! This code belongs to the company 0001 Syensqo (SCH)!!! Please consider the plant of the company / site / country in which the IT project must be opened.

Replace the figure 1 by dot (.) followed by the related team abbreviation:
ISA for Application
ISI for Infrastructure
NIS for Non IS
The last one position is for OTC
Example: You need to open a WBS element on OTC for the stream “Application” in company 0001 Syensqo (SCH), NHA.PXxxx.ISAO (for OTC).
In the tab "Cust. enhancement":
Position – Enter the code position linked to the Project Manager responsible => Search it in the field via the match code. It is important to don’t leave it empty!
Select the parameters below:
Settlement profile : ZPS10: when the costs of the project are allocated to an OTC !!
Allocation structure: always put A2 !!! 
- In «Cat»: CTR (cost center) when the WBS Element has to be assigned to cost center.
- In «Settlement Receiver»: Enter the cost center receiver validated by the IT Controller.

Once the WBS Element is created, I fill the in WBS Element Request file the WBS code and networks created.
If the controller has indicated in the comments that it is needed to send the codes to specific contacts, I send an e-mail to the indicated contacts.
For example:
1º Step - Enter the transaction CJ20N

2º Step - If this message appears


3º Step - Enter the transaction ME2K
