Actual Cost? Actual Work? Scheduled Downtime EndDate?

I am using SCSM 2012  and I have lot of Incidents. When I run this query:
SELECT * FROM IncidentDimvw
I receive a list of all my Incidents and his properties, but I have a lot of columns BLANK like: Actual Cost, Actual Work, Scheduled Downtime EndDate, etc.
What is in Incidents view? I it means? I can see any field on Incident form for this properties.
Thank you.

So i might be helpful to look at the class definition for Work Item. Work item is the base class (mostly, it also inherits from Entity, but so does EVERYTHING else) for all of the "work" in service manager (i.e. Incident, Service Request, Activities, Changes,
etc). Work item defines the following properties:
Id
Title
Description
ContactMethod
CreatedDate
ScheduledStartDate
ScheduledEndDate
ActualStartDate
ActualEndDate
IsDowntime
IsParent
ScheduledDowntimeStartDate
ScheduledDowntimeEndDate
ActualDowntimeStartDate
ActualDowntimeEndDate
RequiredBy
PlannedCost
ActualCost
PlannedWork
ActualWork
UserInput
FirstAssignedDate
FirstResponseDate
now Incident inherits from Work Item, so it has all of the properties general to all work items, as well as all of the items specific to incidents. here is the list of incident specific properties:
TargetResolutionTime
Escalated
Source
Status
ResolutionDescription
NeedsKnowledgeArticle
TierQueue
HasCreatedKnowledgeArticle
LastModifiedSource
Classification
ResolutionCategory
Some of the properties that are general to all work items are not used, by default. For instance, PlannedCost and ActualCost are not exposed on the incident form, or populated by the default workflows.
(DisplayName is defined on System.Entity, fyi)
Hopefully this helps you understand why there are a bunch of properties on the incident table, and why some of them are blank. They are defined on the abstract base class, probably with the intention that future processes or work will use them.

  • How to delay or stop get quote email and to send later when the actual shipping cost is work out.

    How can I delay or stop get quote email from being automatically sent. I want to send manually later when the actual shipping cost is work out. Thanks

    No problems, I've had the same type of customers, I build shipping systems that had different shipping options for different countries. If you selected Australia it used BC Aussie post system upto a certain size then switched to a local shipper if it was too big and also if you choose say the UK it would use a custom DHL price table. Even can tie it directly to the API's of the shipping companies to get real time prices and fuel charges if you need it.

  • Actual Work vs Actual Duration

    What is the difference between Actual Work and Actual Duration?

    They are completely different, even though they appear to be measured in the same units.
    A task can have a duration and within that duration there may be zero work or any amount greater than zero.
    Duration determines how long a task will take, since it is the time between the start and the finish of the task.
    Work is usually, but not always, what it takes to get the task done, and usually, but not always, determines how much the task will cost.
    Before the task starts, the duration and the work are both "scheduled". There is no actual of either, and both are remaining. After the task starts, and after some work is expended on it, it accumulates some actual duration and some actual work, and some
    remaining duration and remaining work remains.
    duration = actual duration + remaining duration
    work = actual work + remaining work
    ... until all of both of them is actual and there is no remaining of either.
    Duration is like the envelope. the work must occur inside the duration.
    The actual work must occur inside the actual duration.
    Hope this helps.

  • Question on original work and actual work

    Hey folks,
    Sometimes the simplest things in Project befuddle me. I'm working in Project 2010 Standard. I have a whole bunch of "Fixed Work" tasks. This is a pretty simple project, and I haven't done baselines or anything like that.
    So let's say I have a task, "Build X" that is was originally estimated as 4 hours of work. That is entered into the Work column.
    During the project, Build X gets completed, and I learn that it only took 2 hours of work. I want to enter this into Project so that we know that:
    Task "Build X" is 100% complete
    The actual work was only 2 hrs
    The original estimate was for 4 hrs
    However, if I enter 100% into either % complete or % work complete, Project changes the Actual Work to 4 hrs, which is wrong. If I set the Actual Work to 2 hours, Project changes % complete or % work complete to 50%, which is also wrong.
    Is there anything I can do here that doesn't involve baselines?
    Thanks!

    sbattisti,
    What have you got against setting a baseline? A baseline captures your original plan. The schedule will be dynamic and as things happen Project updates that dynamic plan to reflect what really happened. So no, there is no way to do what you want without
    a baseline, except perhaps of capturing the original work value in an extra field (e.g. Text1), but there's no point in doing that.
    Set a baseline. That will capture "Build X" as being originally planned at 4 hours work. When you later find out that it only took 2 hours, you enter that into the Actual Work field and set the Remaining Work field to zero. That tells Project that
    the task is in fact complete and it only took 2 hours. If you then display the Baseline Work field you will see that the original plan was 4 hours. You can also display Work Variance.
    Hope this helps.
    John
    OK, thanks very much. I'll do that. 
    I have a follow-up question, but it's not really directly related, so I will post separately, thanks!

  • Any function to calculate actual work hours (deduct the break hours)

    Hi expert,
    I have defined the daily work schedule & break schedule. Work center is assigned with the daily work schedule. Now I want to calculate each work center actual work hours. I have a table where the start & finish time of working is keep.
    for eg.
    first break hr 10:00am to 10:15am
    second break hr 13:00pm to 14:00pm
    The work center might start work from 10:05 and finished at 14:30 or any other case.
    I need to deduct the break hrs & get the actual hr worked
    Is there any function to calculate the actual work hours base on the daily work schedule & break schedule ?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Try the below FM's
    HR_PERSONAL_WORK_SCHEDULE
    WORKING_HOURS = 'X'  " you will get the actual work hours
    HR_BE_WORKING_SCHEDULE
    Try the below class

  • Actual work less than planned work

    Projects 2010
    If actual work is less than planned work the column remaining work is filled with difference between planning and actual. The actual work do complete the job (=100%). If % is put to 100 after actual work is filled and remaining work is
    set to 0 the planned work is changed to actual work. I like to maintain the originally scheduled work. How I achieve that.
    example: planned work   5.0 hrs
                   actual work     3.5 hrs
                   complete        100 %
                  remaining work 0.0 hrs
    This will enable to improve the planning

    Hi Rene,
    This is not possible. The work (planned work) will be equal to the acutal work.
    What you can do is to use bsaeline: just baseline your project plan in order to keep the original scheduled work.
    You'll have something like:
    Baseline work: 5hrs
    Work: 3.5hrs
    Actual work: 3.5hrs
    Remaining work: 0 hrs
    % complete: 100%
    Hope this helps,

  • Need to Enter Real Subtask "Actual Work" and "Actual Finish"

    I am creating a Project file by importing a CSV file.  I need to be able to import both the real Actual Work hours and the real Actual Finish dates contained in the CSV file.  Somehow Project ties these two together for finished Subtasks: 
    entering the Actual Work sets the Actual Finish.  And entering the Actual Finish clears the Actual Work.
    Is there a sequence to enter those for a Subtask, and display what is in the CSV file, rather than what Project wants to compute?

    andyrice,
    If you set the % Work Complete field to 100%, then the Actual Finish field should not be empty. Do you have automatic calculation turned off? Are you using manual scheduling mode?
    For the test sequence I ran, my task type is Fixed Work. I set % Work Complete to 100%. At that point Project assumes the task finished as planned so it sets the Actual Finish date to be the Finish date and the Actual Work to equal the Work. Now you need
    to adjust the work and finish date. If you simply change the value in the Actual Work field, Project will reset the % work complete if the actual work value does not equal the Work field (remember, task is fixed work). So to "replan" the task to what actually
    happened, you must update the Work field with the actual work value. Finally, if the Actual Finish is not the Finish, then the Actual Finish date must be updated. Try that.
    Project's scheduling equation is:
    Duration = Work/Units.

  • Actual Working Hours

    Dear All
    In BW there is a info object DUR_ACTUAL - which represents Actual working hours. Please let me know
    1) Is this working hours including the leaves ( emergency sick leaves, absences)
    2) how can i get this data in ECC in hours of actual working
    Please give let me know if you any details on this
    Regards

    HI GAJESH,
    Actual working hours info is fed from many HR sources including attendances/absences/personnel work schedules/holiday calendars,etc. In BW system, actual working hours data is fetch using the function module HR_BIW_GET_DATA. Please examine this FM more closely.

  • Allowance calculation based on Planned & Actual working hours

    Hi,
    Please advise how to calculate an allowance based on employees Planned working hours & Actual working hours for a particular work schedule rules.
    Example A – Employee on Work Schedule for the Whole Month Employee has a 0007 infotype record that has them on Work Schedule SC112 for the whole of April 2008. System pays 100% of the allocated payment of $166.67 per month
    Example B – Employee on Work Schedule for part of the Month, Employee has a 0007 infotype record that has them on Work Schedule SC112 for the part of April 2008 as they only started on 14th April 2008. Planned Hours for April for SC112 are 180 hours and this person has worked 108 hours which is 60% (=108/180). System should pay 60% of the allocated payment of $166.67 per month which results in a payment of $100.00 for the employee.
    Your help would be really appreciated.
    Regards
    Ranjith Yama

    Hi Manoj,
    Suppose ABCD is the wagetype for xyz allowance. I hope you are getting this 1000 amount from T510.
    This is the logic of PCR for your requirement.
    ABCD
      NUM=TKAU**        --> Getting Unpaid Absences (Suppose 2)
      RTE=KCONS2        --> Maintain CONS2 constant in T511K Table with 200
      MULTI NRA            --> Multiplying No.of Absences with 200.. that is 400
      ADDWT &BUFF     --> Saving that in one Variable
      FILFF NRA            --> Restoring Actual values
      AMT- &BUFF        --> Subtracting from 1000 and you will get the 600
      AMT?0
         ADDWT *
       <              
         AMT=0             --> if amount is less than 0 then amount will bocome 0
    Hope this helps.

  • Adding time phased actual work to fixed work task with finish no later than constraint

    I am using MS Project Pro 2010, no service packs are installed. I have a 40 hour fixed work task, auto scheduling is on, and I've set a finish no later than constraint 4 weeks into the future. I have assigned a single resource with assignment units of 1.0
    and Project correctly determines a 5 day duration and schedules the task from the start of the project with the task start date the same as project start date and 8 hrs per day.
    I switch to task usage view with the time phased time scale set to weeks (middle) and days (bottom) and add the actual work field. Calculate on edit is selected in project options. When I add 8 hours to day one (which matches the planned work), the planned
    work on the last day of the duration changes to 2 hours and the remaining 30 hours is spread at 10 hrs each to the three days in the middle and the duration changes to 4.2 days. Work stays the same as expected.
    The behavior I expected is that after I add the 8 hours of actual work nothing would change since remaining work is 32 hours and there are 4 days left in the schedule and the work is already scheduled for 8 hrs/day. When I continue to add actual work of
    8 hours to each day, the duration continues to go down until I’m adding 8 hours past the duration. What am I doing wrong? This behavior persists whether or not I select the "move unfinished parts…” options in the project options or not. The only way to
    achieve the expected result is to remove the constraint, add the actual work and then reapply the constraint. I assume I have missed an option that needs to be correctly set to achieve the expected (and desired) result. Thanks.

    Thanks, Julie.  I thought it was just me.  The reason for the FNLT constraint is that I'm not really scheduling projects but scheduling a single multi-unit resource in a shop environment where many projects are running through at the
    same time.  I've set up a single resource with units equal to the number of shop personnel and I'm intentionally forcing overallocations (should there be any) by levelling and by not allowing Project to move my tasks any further than externally mandated
    delivery dates.  From that, I can then see where I will need to alter shop release dates, allocate overtime, hire new workers or subcontract the work.  By entering actual work weekly, I can also see where I might have extra hours to use elsewhere
    or vice versa.  Unfortunately, a deadline will not prevent Project from moving the tasks beyond the customer provided date when leveling.  This method worked fairly well in Project 2007 even though it's not really what the software was intended for. 
    I obviously only use a fraction of Project's capabilities.  There's probably better-suited tools out there but this is the one I have and it actually does a great job at it.  I'm sure I can still make it work in 2010 but it looks like I'll have to
    modify my approach.  I'll leave the question open a while longer and see if I get any additional feedback.  If not, I'll mark it answered and move on.  Thanks, again.

  • Error Project Server 2010, % Complete, Work and Actual Work

    Hi Everyone
    I have a Project Server 2010 SP2 Environment, The farm contains 3 Servers.
    1 WFE, 1WebApp, 1 BD. All servers in the farm are Windows Server 2008 R2 and the Data Base Server is SQL Server 2008 R2
    The Context:
    The Project Managers create the Project in Project Professional 2010 SP2 for support Annual Maintenance about a software, then the team members go to my tasks in PWA to create the task inside the stage in the project, then they put the actual work, then they
    send the progress to his project manager.
    So, the project manager goes to the approval page to approve two times, one, the task creation and two, the progress.
    So far all ok but when the project manager open the Gantt in Project Professional 2010 SP2 , the task that the team member has sent appear with a 100 percent complete, but the work with 0 hours and the actual work with 0 hours too, being that should appear
    with the hours the team member has sent, that is my problem.
    This occur only with this project manger and his team member, all of others project managers in the platform don't report this issue.
    I already have  re open the project and re publish too
    So , let me know if you have some idea about this issue.
    Erick Gutiérrez PMI Membership #ID 2089740 MTCS - Microsoft Project Server Managing Projects

    Only other ideas is to make sure the duration isn't 0, which would make it a milestone.
    Have the resources, recall the timesheets and resubmit.  Run it thru cycle again and see if they actual show up.
    Finally, you can run SQL query and see where the data may be. 
    1) Check if status manager is who you think it is
    2) Check if project shows actuals in sql.  Doesn't explain why not showing in schedule.

    Dear Experts,
    We have a requirement of showing no. of actual working days in payslip, which should be Calendar Days-(Paid+Unpaid absence). I created an w/t 1WRD for actual working days. Our paid absence w/t is 2006 and unpaid absence is 2005 copied from /845 and /846 respectively, both the absences are included in absence valuation table and working fine in that respect. But issue is i wrote a small PCR for calculating actual working days like below:
    ZWRD
         NUM=TKSOLL Set
         NUM-E 2005
         NUM-E 2006
        ADDWTE1WRD
    But still its fetching full working days i.e. calendar days 30 or 31 not deducting paid or unpaid absence for a month.
    Pls help, what else should i do.

  • I seem to have fixed my problem of randomly occuring errors in my filterwheel control. But I don't know why this should actually work.

    Hi there,
    I am using a thorlabs fw102B filterwheel. It's connected via USB (simulating COM port, that's what it says in MAX). The second device is a camera, also connected via USB. The application is running 24/7, at least that's what it's supposed to do. LabView version is 8.6.
    The LabView code I wrote for this, was never really finished, meaning I totally ignored error handling in the first program version.  That never bothered me, because the program ran for weeks and months without any problem. Whenever I had to reboot my system it was not LabViews fault, but I was changing something else.
    Recently I was running into problems with the filterwheel (after a system reboot). However, I don't understand the error in the first place: The filterwheel is supposed to change position every 15 minutes, in between the camera is taking exposures, then the data is written to an ASCII-file (only ~156 kB). At first the error occured just once: the filterwheel was set to the wrong position for about 15 minutes, which might happen, as it is not really could in counting. A few days later it was in that wrong positon for one hour, so it didn't respond to the "move" order four times in a row. Finally I didn't move at all anymore. The error message I was getting is "0xFFFFFFF unkown status code". In my opinion the communcation to the filterwheel got lost somehow. I don't know a better explantion. 
    But why should it recover after some time?
    The problem usually occured at night, when nobody is there to watch.
    I investigated the behaviour in a second setup (see attachment). There is only the filterwheel connected. Through randomly unplugging the USB or power cable I was able to reproduce 'session handle is not valid', 'unkown status code' and 'session handle lost'. The program enters the 'true case', the session is to be closed and resetted, then it shall be reinitialized. This actually works as soon as the cables are reconnected. But why?
    The close.vi still returns 'session handle is not valid', The reset.vi returns the same, but initialize.vi returns 'No Error' and the system works again.
    What am I not getting here?
    I read some threads here and somebody mentioned for another instrument/problem to use the 'reset' command twice. So I tried 'close-initialize', 'reset-reset-initialize', 'reset-initialize' but only 'close-reset-initialize' works (not surprising). Yet I still get the same errors (probe 1 and 2). Am I introducing more bugs without knowing than I fixed?
    I AM CONFUSED.

    Hello Ulrich,
    thank you for your answer. Concerning the dataflow I agree and it is what I usually do. Actually I follow the dataflow paradigm whenever there is no problem (the 'false case' in the screenshot):
    “FW102x Initialize.vi” -> “FW102x Get Position.vi” -> “FW102x Set Position.vi”.
    Whenever there is a mistake, this just doesn't work with these drivers. The sequence
    “FW102x Initialize.vi” -> “FW102x Get Position.vi”  -> ///error/// -> “FW102x Close.vi”, “FW102x Reset.vi”  ;; “FW102x Initialize.vi”
    will give me errors for “FW102x Close.vi”, “FW102x Reset.vi”  and “FW102x Initialize.vi” reporting "session handle not valid". However, if I "bypass" the instrument handles directly from the first "Initialize" to "Close" and "Reset", they will report the same error, but the second "Initialize" will work again. I can even merge the first two frames and execute "Close" and "Reset" at the same time to do so. But whenever I try something else, e.g. do the 'correct' wiring, I am unable to close, reset or reinitialize. I have to restart LabView completely, to make the vi work again. So I guess the session is still hanging around somewhere in memory, but I can't access it anymore.
    Surprisingly, wherever I put Probes on the data handle wires they show the correct "ASRL5::INSTR" (with or without correct wiring). But only the "Bypass" wire makes the vi work. Since you couldn't find the drivers in the driver network, I guess they might just run into problems, if an error occurs.
    But thanks for your comment anyway. The problem is fixed for the moment. It's just that I prefer to actually know what I am doing here instead of producing some code I'd rather not show anyone.
    Carsten
