Actual Start Date vs Actual End Date - Activity

In an Activity, I would like to seperately enter the Actual Start Date and Actual End Date.
- If I try this using (partial) confirmation, I receive a pop-up with an error that the two dates must be entered together or no dates can be entered.
The activity in my project can take over a year to complete and the requirement is to confirm start (at start) and to confirm end (at end).
Does anyone know of a solution for this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Patrick,
I think you need to research a bit more on confirmations in PS. Actual dates in partial confirmations are practically interpreted as provisional actual start dates and actual finish dates. The actual start for the activity remains the same however the actual finish date is overwritten once the final confirmation is entered.
For example, take an activity with start date 05.09.2011 and finish date as 14.09.2011. Now when you provide confirmations on a daily basis, you can use the following strategy:
Day 1, 05.09.2011: actual start 05.09.2011, actual finish 05.09.2011, % complete 10%
Day 1, 06.09.2011: actual start 05.09.2011, actual finish 06.09.2011, % complete 20%
Day 1, 07.09.2011: actual start 05.09.2011, actual finish 07.09.2011, % complete 25%
Only when you provide the final confirmation the actual finish date is confirmed. The various confirmation line items may be viewed via CN48N.

PARAMETER_EXCEPTION: Start date is after end date

WORKLOAD ANALYSIS (PORTAL ACTIVITY REPORTING) : PARAMETER_EXCEPTION: Start date is after end date.
Hello,
We get the above exception when we analyzed the extractor framework logs for EP Workload analysis extractor.
Can someone please advice.
Thanks
Srikanth M

Hi Nacho,
Could you please check if the Solution Manager time format for the user used for the Workload analysis is same as that of the monitored system. This error was caused in our landscape as the format in the monitored system was having a dd.mm.yyyy and that of the user in solman was mm.dd.yyyy. You can check the same in the transaction SU01 --> Change/Display --> Defaults tab --> Date format.

Fixed start date and variable end date

I'm using Project 2010 Standard. Task A has already started. It can't end until 2 weeks after the completion of task B. The only way I can make Project schedule this task is by doing so manually, allowing Project to calculate the duration. But then if the
end date of task B changes, Project reschedules the entire task based on the duration without regard for the start date. If I add a % complete to task A, then the end date doesn't change if the end date of task B does. Project seems to fix the duration
once it's calculated. I need the duration to be flexible based on the fixed start date and the end date of task B. This project file is stored in SharePoint so I can't make task A a hammock task. I get the error "You cannot create links from a project
file that exists on a Web folder to another file" even though it's the same file. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

WhoKnows,
I'm afraid without a hammock task the only way to do what you want is either with a manual reschedule or a macro to recalculate the duration of Task A when Task B moves.
Update: Okay, after playing around here is a little trick that might work.
1. Break Task A into two parts (e.g. -1 and -2)
2. Set the predecessor of Task A-2 to be finish-to-start with Task A-1 and finish-to-finish + 2w with Task B
Depending on the nature of Task A you may still need to do a little manual adjusting but it will effectively allow the start of Task A to be fixed and the finish to be variable depending on the status of Task B. Does that work for you?

Select Records between Begin Date/Time and End Date/Time

Hi, I need to select records from table GLPCA where the CPUDT and CPUTM are between a START DATE/TIME and END DATE/TIME.
I have the below logic from an SAP Solution, but it doesn't seem to be working right in my opinion. It is picking up records earlier than the date ranges. Can anyone tell me how I might be able to accomplish this? I'm hoping this is an easy one for the ABAPPERs...
Thanks,
START DATE 20091022
START TIME 125736
END DATE 20091022
END TIME 135044
CPUDT 20091022
CPUTM 100257
      SELECT * FROM GLPCA
         WHERE ( CPUDT >= STARTDATE AND ( CPUTM >= STARTTIME OR ( CPUDT <= ENDDATE AND CPUTM <= ENDTIME ) ) ).

Thank you all! I ended up using the following:
SELECT * FROM GLPCA
          WHERE RYEAR IN L_R_RYEAR
            AND ( ( CPUDT = STARTDATE AND CPUTM >= STARTTIME ) OR CPUDT > STARTDATE )
            AND ( ( CPUDT = ENDDATE   AND CPUTM <= ENDTIME )   OR CPUDT < ENDDATE ).

So, my upgrade date and contract end dates are the same?

What exactly does this mean? This was my first contract phone and it ends on 9/11/14. My upgrade date is also 9/11/14. Does this mean I HAVE to go pick out new phones and sign a new contract on that exact date? It seems they'd give you a range of dates so you could do it a little early, before your contract really ends. What happens if I don't make it there on 9/11? My service will be turned off?

The upgrade date isn't for one specific date, but for that date onward. You're not required to upgrade. If you choose not to, your account will remain active on a month-to-month basis.

Extend End date after the end date has reached

Hi gurus,
    We are using SRM5.0 on ECS with backend ECC5.0.
    We notice that after the end date of bid has reached even though there is a bid submitted by supplier , the purchaser still can extend the end date to a later date as long as he has not made the accept or reject choice.
    If it is the case, the purchaser can view the price after the end date reached and then extend the end date and maybe tell other supplier what the price the opponent has submitted. This is not allowed and should be penaltied.
    We just want to know how to avoid this in the term of system. Can we make the
end date field unchangeable after the end date has reached? or any other solutions?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
As Teja and SAndeep mentioned,you can go for either the Approval or BADI approach.
In case you are implementing the BADI,you can make the concerned fields grayed out so no changes are made but then this would mean that <b>no changes
</b> can be done at all after the END date has been reached.
In case of workflow,you can have you starting conditions in which you will compare the end date and the system date .If same,you can trigger a Workflow for approval of any changes to be done further.So even if the changes are made,the chnages are approved by a higher authority.
Another way would be to implement the "BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI" to check whether the end date has been reached and then allow the user to do any changes.You can use the FM "BBP_PD_BID_GETDETAIL" to get the details of the BI and then check.In this case,you can additionally check for other parameters of the User like role,authorisation based on which he can make changes in exceptional cases.

Delivery Block at PGI level based on GI date and Month end date

Business need a check on delivery processing based on the Planned GI date, Month end date and transit period. This transit period is a custom field and dependent on customer. Also it is not maintained anywhere in system. Business store it in some excel format.
The logic needed is: For any given month, the delivery order MUST be goods issued in the same month, i.e. once the order is delivered, the Post goods issue should ONLY be allowed if and only if , the PLANNED GI date ( as maintained in delivery ) + transit time ( at customer level ), falls within the month end date. If not, a block should be applied at PGI and only authorized personnel should be able to release that block.
Also, there will be no check at invoicing VF01 level. Once the PGI blocked is removed, there will be no check on invoicing. The month end date may vary month to month and need to in combination of Sales Org / Plant as mentioned
In addition, the business need an exception report where the information of releasing the block should appear for release date, user id of the responsible person, time sales order no etc. and it should be downloadable.
We can have a custom table to maintain the month end day in given combination.
But I need your expert inputs as-
1-     Can we add this transit period in at customer master data as it is dependent on customer and there are huge no of customers for the sales unit? If not, then how to maintain it; may be a z table?
2-     Based on this logic, what should the code/logic to be written for block at PGI.
3-     How to control the authority check for removing the block.
4-     The source fields for exception report.
Pls revert accordingly.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello,
Please refere the answers to your questions:
1- Can we add this transit period in at customer master data as it is dependent on customer and there are huge no of customers for the sales unit? If not, then how to maintain it; may be a z table?
You can either use some un-used Feild in Customer Master or maintain a Z-Table. I believe maintaining a Z-Table would be easy as you have huge number of Customers. You can also write a dmall program to Pick the Customer-wise transit dates from a excel file & store in Z-Table.
2- Based on this logic, what should the code/logic to be written for block at PGI.
You have explained the requirement well in your thread, you need to explain the same to your ABAPer & Basis person & they would do the needful.
3- How to control the authority check for removing the block.
Basis person would create & assign a Z-Authorization object which the ABAPer would use in his program.
4- The source fields for exception report.
Once you do the above development, your ABAPer will easily pick the required feild in Report as he has already used all the feilds somewhere in his development.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Scheduling start date and end dates

Hello Gurus,
I am trying to understand the schedule start date and schedule end date functionality in Plant Maintenance. I do understand the basic start and end dates. Currently I set up u201C3.Do not adjust basic dates, dep rqmts to order startu201D and set the scheduling type as u201CForwardsu201D . Please note we donu2019t do any capacity planning or leveling.
So my question is, why the scheduling start date is defaults to the basic start date for forwards and scheduling finish date defaults to basic finish date for backwards ? I tried adding couple of operations and save the work order. It did not change anything in schedule dates.
Do we really need to care about scheduling dates if we donu2019t use capacity planning ?
Please advise
Mahee

Hi,
As per priority, final dates would be calculated as we will define the duration based on the priprity. Either current date or basic date only applied to Scheduling start date.
You can change the scheduling start date so that based on priority, final date would be calculated.

Maheswaran.

Date Validation - End date before Start date

This may be a very simple validation but I seem to be having trouble. I've got a form which requires a date range to be selected (Date Picker fields)...a Start date, and an End date.
I've created a Function Returning Boolean validation with the code as:
begin
if :P1_END_DATE < :P1_START_DATE then
return false;
else
return true;
end if;
end;This works 99%, except when the date range spans years.
For example, when I select '21-Dec-2010' in the start date and '4-Jan-2011' in the end date. The validation fails, and thinks the end date is before the start date.
Do I need to compare the year part of the date, before doing the rest? Or is the '<' not suited for this sort of check?

Sorry, false alarm, it looks like I had my logic a little backwards :)

Date Span - Validation for start and end date parameters in Crystal reports

Hi,
I am new here and am unsure if this is the right place to post this issue. If so, I apologize for that.
I am working on Crystal Reports 12 and don't know if it is possible; to validate the parameters - Start Date and End Date are within a specific span of time. For Eg. Start Date and End Date should be within 6 months or Start Date should be a future date.
Can we prompt that parameters entered are invalid and have users re-enter it?
I will really appreciate any help into this issue.
Thanks Much,
RP

Hi,
Well, it is not possible to validate the date/datetime values in the prompt window, however there are other alternatives.
One of them is to create an Alert with the condition:
datediff("m",Minimum({?DateParameter}),Maximum({?DateParameter})) > 6
//This is to check if the start date and the end date are within 6 months
Another way of doing this is by displaying a message on the Report Header and suppressing all other sections if the date range values do not meet the condition.
Hope this helps!

Planning attributes in 11.1.2.2 and start/end dates in a cell

Hi. In Planning 11.1.2.2., can I make use of attribute dimensions as I would in a BSO Essbase cube?
Also can I enter a start date and an end date entry in two different account members (e.g., start_date and end_date)?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, I believe you can use it.
And you can change the Account member Data type as Date. Then use these Accounts in the Planning Web Form. Form will give you facility to select the Date...

Comparing dates (Start date should not be later than End date etc ...)

Hello All,
I have a table (5 rows) with 7 columns. Of which the first to columns are the start date and the end date. Can someone kindly advise on how I can go about to ensure that there is some validation mechanism in place such that the start date is not later than the end date and vice versa ? Thank you very much.

Hi
Use calculated attributes as Pran suggested. It should work. Where are you getting the data from. Is it from R/3. The node bound to the table ui element is it a model node. Anyway Here is the link on how to use the calculated attribute.

Reduce Working Days by Emp Start and End Dates

I'm banging my head trying to get this working. The set-up:
DimResources table with various employee information including a Start and End Date.
A Calendar table with FullDate, Year, Quarter....WorkingDays (1 for working and 0 for non-working) and WorkingDayNumber (working days increased by 1, weekends are not).
Page View report with page view filters for Business, Role, Month, Week, Year.
In the calculation the denominator is total working days for the period * 8. Works great. Further reduced by any submitted time off. Again, so far so good. The part I'm having trouble with is trying to further reduce total working days by
the number of days the person wasn't available in a month, defined by the person's start or end date.
The calculated field works great when only 1 person is selected. As soon as more than 1 person is selected or the slicer is cleared, an error is thrown.
Any ideas on what is wrong or better ways to accomplish what's needed?
TotalWorkingDays2CF=CALCULATE
SUM(Calendar[WorkingDays]),
FILTER(Calendar,Calendar[WorkingDays]=1),
Calendar, DATESBETWEEN(Calendar[FullDate],SUM(DimResources[Start Date]),SUM(DimResources[End Date]))

Dennis DeRobertis

ok, but this is not a running total but just a sub-total/grand-total
so what you can do is the following:
create two measures - first calculate the workdays per ressourcen and second use SUMX() to get the sub-/grand-total if multiple employees are selected (e.g. subgroups, groups,division, etc)
WorkdaysRessource:=CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS('Date'),
FILTER('Date',
'Date'[Date] >= CALCULATE(MIN('DimResources'[Start Date]))
&& 'Date'[Date] <= CALCULATE(MIN('DimResources'[End Date])))
Workdays:=CALCULATE:=SUMX(
'DimResources',
[WorkdaysRessource]
