Project pegging in depot repair
Overview
In Service, you can implement project pegging in the Depot Repair module. You can peg the service cost to a project, element, and/or an activity.
To peg a project, specify the project, element, and/or activity information for the call, the contract, the maintenance sales quotation, maintenance sales orders or work orders. You must select the Mandatory Project Peg check box in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session if defining the PCA ID is mandatory to peg the cost of the item to the project.
Initiation of the pegged transaction
The peg is initiated only when a business process is started for transactions that register actual costs. For Example Calls and Maintenance Sales orders.
Project Cost Account is an account where the cost is pegged. Costs are pegged through Project Cost Account ID. You can populate the PCA ID:
- By entering the PCA ID when you create a new call, contract, maintenance sales quotation, maintenance sales order, or an external work order.
- By specifying the PCA ID on the service contract. You can also enter the PCA ID manually.
Propagation of the peg in the depot repair process
The PCA ID is propagated to the resulting transaction ( Example, from call to MSO to Work order). You can change the PCA ID until the status of the call / contract / maintenance sales quotation / maintenance sales order / work order changes.
Propagation of the peg to service contract and configuration lines
Propagation of the peg to a call
The PCA ID of the call is retrieved from the service contract header by default, if the call is related to a service contract. You can specify or modify the PCA ID if the call status is ‘Free’. You must specify the reason for the modification.
If the call is solved without being transferred ( Example to a maintenance sales order or service order), the call can be invoiced. The costs are booked to the corresponding PCAs. The cost component is used to identify the appropriate project cost type using cost mapping in the Cost Mappings (tcmcs0149m000) session.
Propagation of the peg to the maintenance sales quotations
LN defaults the PCA ID of the quotation header line either from a service call, or a maintenance sales order part line, or a work order. If the PCA ID is not defaulted from these origins, LN defaults the ID from the service contract configuration line if the serialized item is linked to a service contract. You can specify or change the PCA ID, if the maintenance sales quotation status is ‘Free’.
Propagation of the peg to the maintenance sales order
LN defaults the PCA ID of the maintenance sales order from the originating call or maintenance sales quotation. The PCA ID of the order part line is defaulted from a service call or maintenance sales order part line. If the PCA ID is not defaulted from these origins, LN defaults the ID from the service contract configuration line in case the serialized item is linked to a service contract. You can enter or change the PCA ID, if the maintenance sales quotation status is ‘Free’.
Propagation of the peg to the work order for MSO part line
By default, the PCA ID is retrieved from the maintenance sales order. If the installation group or the item is linked to a service contract, the PCA ID is retrieved from the service contract configuration line. If the PCA ID is not defaulted from these origins, LN defaults the ID from the service contract configuration line in case the serialized item is linked to a service contract. You can specify or change the PCA ID, if the maintenance sales quotation status is ‘Free’.
Propagation of the peg to the work order linked /originating from a maintenance sales order
LN defaults the PCA ID of the work order (linked/originating from maintenance sales order) from the service contract configuration line, if the serialized item is linked to a service contract. If the PCA ID is not defaulted from these origins, LN defaults the ID from the service contract configuration line in case the serialized item is linked to a service contracts. You can specify or change the PCA ID, if the maintenance sales quotation status is ‘Free’.
Propagation of the peg to the follow-up work order
By default, the PCA ID is retrieved from the initiating work order. If the installation group or the item is linked to a service contract the PCA ID is retrieved from the service contract configuration line. If the PCA ID is not defaulted from these origins, LN defaults the ID from the service contract configuration line in case the serialized item is linked to a service contract. The user can specify or change the PCA ID, if the work order status is ‘Free’.
Propagation of a material request to LN Warehousing from depot repair
When warehouse orders are generated from Service, in order to request material from a warehouse, the PCA ID is propagated to Warehousing only if the Inherit Project Peg check box in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session is selected. Warehousing uses the PCA ID for financial bookings to LN Project. Warehousing handles the potential peg transfers:
Example
Service needs materials B and material C to be used in the repair of item A. For item B, LN Service requests inventory with a peg. For item C, Service requests material with a peg, because the cost for B and C have to be reported to the project.
Warehousing checks if there is inventory of item B with the corresponding PCA. In the case of an inventory shortage, Warehousing checks whether transfer rules apply to meet the LN Service request. Warehousing handles the potential peg transfers in the background.
For item C, the process is the same. Service requests the material with a PCA, though there is inventory for item C without a peg.
For Example, a demand transaction for item A has a peg123 that requires material B and C. When the Inherit Project Peg check box in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session for Material B is set to Yes and for Material C is set to No:
| Inherit Peg | Cost Pegged To | Request to Warehouse | |
| Material B | Yes | P1E10A10 | Financially peg costs to: P1E10A10 Inventory from: P1E10A10 |
| Material C | No | P1E10A10 | Financially peg costs to: P1E10A10 Inventory from: <empty peg > |
Since material C is without a peg in inventory, the costs are not yet pegged to the project. However, since material B is already cost pegged to the project, the cost do not have to be booked again to the project when the actual outbound process is executed.
Propagation of the Peg to generate purchase order
For project pegged items when purchase orders are generated, the PCA ID from Service ( Example Subcontracting), is propagated to LN Order Management to generate the purchase order with the corresponding peg. For material request of type Via Purchase, the PCA ID is propagated only if the Inherit Project Peg check box in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session is selected.
Propagation of the peg to book hours
When hours are booked in Service, the PCA is processed to LN People to book hours on the work order.
Book other costs or bench stock material costs
When actual other costs or Bench stock material costs are defined in Service, the costs are logged in the PCL. If the item is defined for the maintenance sales coverage line, the item is used to identify the appropriate project cost type. In case the item is not defined, the cost component is used to identify the appropriate project cost type using cost mapping in the Cost Mappings (tcmcs0149m000) session.
Propagation of the peg to a maintenance sales order coverage line
When the maintenance sales order coverage lines are costed, the invoice is created in LN Invoicing. The revenues and costs are booked to the corresponding PCAs. If the item is defined for the maintenance sales coverage line, the item is used to identify the appropriate project cost type. In case the item is not defined, the cost component is used to identify the appropriate project cost type using cost mapping in the Cost Mappings (tcmcs0149m000) session. LN Invoicing receives the related PCA IDs for the actual costs.
