Subject: Project Objects
Hi
We have found that there are more than one WBS for an
object. This is
supposed to be a unique relationship i.e. one to one.
On doing an object find for a Project Characteristic
you obtain the
object numbers (that is WBS elements internal numbers)
of the objects
that contain the characteristics. Using T.code SE16 you
can find the WBS
element number of the object. On doing this search we
have found
multiple WBS elements for the same object number. On
investigating the
situation, we found that in most instances the "other"
object another
WBS element in the same structure or one created shortly
after the
correct WBS element.
We have not yet found out why this happens, what the solution
is or if
we have found all occurrences.
Has anybody encountered something similar?
Thanks

In PRPS, there is 4 fields that refer to an SAP object:
POSID is the WBS element identifyer the user see on the
screen
PSPNR is the internal SAP project item number (which
IS unique)
OBJNR is the SAP object number (made out prefix 'PR'
and the internal
project item number. It is also the number that is stored
in the Costs tables.
PSPHI is the internal current number of the project the
WBS element belongs
to.
All these numbers are absolutely unique. But all WBS elements
in the same
project will share the same PSPHI, which indicates the
project (from the
PROJ database).
The reason why you have an internal SAP number (PSPNR)
and an external
number (POSID) is to allow the user to change the WBS
element identifyer
without losing all the history.
Check to make sure you were looking at the right object
number.
Hope that helps,
