Automatic Extrapolation of Basic Date to WBS

Hi,
What setting to be done in SPRO, So that everytime scheduling is done, basic dates are extrapolated to higher level WBS element and to next level WBS with "Open Planning Scheduling Metod". Adjust Basic Dates is selected.
Thanks,
Rahul

i am not sure if there is any cofig that does that
you can try bottom up planning with automatic scheduled on so that the dates get extrapolated on project save

Automate 'transfer of basic dates to forecast dates'

Hi Experts
I wish to have automatic transfer of Basic dates to FRC at the time of changing the status of Project definition to REL.
So that, after release i will prohibit the transfer of basic to FRC. This is required to retain original scheduled dates in FRC.
So, is there any userexit to build code for trigger transaction 'transfer basic to FRC' at the time of status change of PD?
Or you may suggest any new idea in this regards
Thanks and warm regards

Hi,
I am not sure if there is a standard way to do this, if anyone knows it please share your knowledge,
There are several ways to obtain this , but all of them envolve development :
- You can use this BADI ( if you are at least in 4.6 C) --> WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE ( method AT_SAVE)
- You can create an event for object BUS2001 when it is released and the you have to program to copy from one date to another date
- If possible you can use standard substitution (OPSN transaction) but you have to develop your requirement.
I am not sure it is very clear...

Profit Center change from 2007 to 2008 in basic data of WBS elements??

Dear all,
I am quite desperate - we change the complete CO structure from 2007 to 2008 and I have to reallocate all projects (WBS elements and networks) to new profit centers.
The profit centers are valid as of 1/1/2008 - the old one finish 31/12/2007.
The problem is that the annual closing procedure is done with Actual Results Analysis since we are working with the POC-method for revenue recognition - and I will only do this transaction in 10 days.
If I cannot limit the profit center allocation, I do not know how to avoid that either 2008 postings will be on 2007 profit centers for the first automatic MIGO bookings 2008 or the the last 2007 bookings will be on 2008 profit centers.
Can anyone help on this? Please mail to [email protected]
Thank you already!
Bye

Hi,
I would like to add few more lines on this. There can't be multiple controlling area in a project whereas there can be multiple company code for a project. To change controlling area at WBSE level, the controlling area of the project need to be changed. After financial posting into project, it will be difficult to change the controlling area / co code / plant etc. in project structure.
Hope this will help you.

Automatic determination of billing date on order related billing

Dear all,
Some background:
We are using resource related billing: create standing sales order with WBS as reference.
Costs are posted to the WBS (serves as a bucket to collect costs).
Whenever needed, the costs on the WBS are billed. This is done via transaction DP91, creating a billing request for the standing sales order which generates a new sales order which takes the amount from the WBS element. This sales order can then be billed.
In other words: Each period, the standing sales order can be billed (based on the WBS element it contains) in a new sales order.
Problem:
The billing date is derived from the 'requested delivery date' on the sales order.
We would like to have by default proposed by the system as billing date: the date when the (2nd) sales order and/or billing document is generated. So either date of billing should be the billing date or the requested delivery date (which will then automatically determine the billing date)
How can this be achieved?
What I tried:
1). I have ticket the flag "Propose delivery date", but this doesn't seem to be the solution.
2). Factory calender is only to be used in case a specific date should be used (e.g. last day of the week/month). I don't think we need this, as we could just go for "todays date" during (2nd) sales order/billing document creation.
3). I checked the copy control properties, but this is not really an option I think.
Many thanks!

HI, Boiler
I suggest you to check the copy control again.
As I known, there is a Routin setting for data transfer (Data VBRK/VBRP) in the item level. And you can use standard routin 11 means Bill. date= Today.
Hope it can help you.

How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

Hi Dd,
If you want the next date automaitcally filled in when you add a row to the bottom of the table, you can use a formula.
Here's an example, done in Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09). The method is basically the same in Numbers 3.
Formulas in row 3:
B3: =B2+1
C3: =C2+7
D3: =D2+14
These have been filled down to the last row of the table.
The same table is shown below after three rows have been added by dragging the Row control handle (below the tab for row 7) down. No changes other than adding thse three rows were made by the user.
Note that rows 1 and 2 are header rows, and that row 2 contains the starting date for the seraies of date in each column. In the formula, the number at the end tells Numbers how many days to add to the previous date to get the next date.
Autofill of the formula requires that every non-header cell located above the cell into which the formula is to be filled contains the same formula.

Barry

CM25 : automatic dispatching outside basic dated

When I try to do an automatic dispatch of a production order I need that the po can be dispatched forward outside the basic date. Actually in my settings the automatic dispatching is executed only inside the basic date. Only with a manual drag and drop i can dispatch forward outside.
Can you help me in order to solve my problem ?

Basic Dates and Scheduled dates

Hi Team,
What is the basic intention of having two dates ( Basic dates & Scheduled Dates) in Process/Production Order.
If we reschedule a order in APO PPDS the scheduled Dates in the Process Order ( In ECC) gets changed but not the Basic dates.
Once we Release the order then system carries out the rescheduling of the Order and the Scheduled Dates gets copied to the Basic Dates.
This creates a discrepancy between the dates appearing in MD04 and the dates appearing in Product view of APO PPDS.as MD04 always copies the Basic Dates.
What is the logic behind having this Process......?.
Regards,
Rajesh Satope.

Rajesh,
A simple solution for this could be that in SAP R/3, scheduling parameters for Production orders for the Plant/ordertype combination activate "Automatic Scheduling" and also define "Adjust Basic dates". This means when ever the order is saved it would perform a scheduling and the basic date would get adjusted as per the scheduled dates.
Coming to your query on difference, generally the basic dates in R/3 are derived based on the Inhouse production time defined in the material master of the material Plus the FLOATS defined in the schedule margin key which is assigned to the material MRP view.
Scheduled dates are derived based on the operation time schedule of the order.

Prasobh

Forecast dates instead for Basic dates in ECP

Hello all,
We want to use the forecast dates in the project instead for basic dates in easy cost planning, is that possible to do?
In standard, ECP take the basic dates but it will be very usefull to use forecast dates in different CO-version as a forcast planning.
Do not hesitate to contact me,
Best regards
Jose Marin

Hi Abhra,
You can check both basic and forcast dates WBS Elements in project planning Board at a time.
as you said, you have to select both Basic and Forecast dates options in Set of Dates Icon. Before that while scheduling the entire project system will consider either Basic or Forecast dates at WBS Level and Carried out scheduling.
If you did Scheduling with Basic Dates then you have to transfer Basic dates to Forecast dates in Planning Board through Edit --> Reconsile dates --> copy basic dates to forecast dates.
if both Basic and Forecast dates are planning at WBS level, system shows you the Time Bars in different colour which you can check the corresponding colour matches with the specific dates through Legend.
Hope you can understand the above solution..

Automate script for import data

automate script for importing data to the cube from txt files.
Ex: - I have below 2 files for import
aaaa.txt
bbbb.txt
For the above simply i can write esscmd or Maxl script for importing files .
Esscmd :
IMPORT 3 "\aaaa.txt" 4 "N";
IMPORT 3 "\bbbb.txt" 4 "N"
my question , suppose if some more files added to the existing files, for example cccc.txt got added ,how can i write a code for this?

Well I guess this will do
dataDir=" " # Give the data directory path here
maxlFile="maxl1.msh"
cd $dataDir
for file in `ls *` ;
do
maxlStmt="import database sample.basic data from data_file '$file' using rules_file 'xxx.rul'
on error write to 'xxx.log';";
printf $maxlStmt >> $maxlFile
done
ls * is lists all the files in the directory. If you want to be more specific and if you yhink tat your data folder may contain more files then you can use "ls *.txt" if your file extension to load is txt.
Well I haven't tested this as I am on vacation...So you can just follow the similar way.
This is only for the 3rd point which you said

Basic dates and production dates

dear all,
i have made a PIR using MD61 for 01.04.2010,
after that, i run the MRP using MD02 to make the planned order, so when i open the MD04 tcode, the planned order has been created for 01.04.2010 too...
the problem is when i convert that planned order to production order, when i check the finish date of the production order, it has been change to 02.04.2010, why the start dates and finish dates changes in the production order???
best regard,
MARUFAT

Hi,
i have check in OPU3, the schduling type is backward, and the automatic scheduling is tick
i also check in MRP view, the scheduling margin key is 000 so there is no float time problem, and the GR processing time is 0,
i run the MRP RUn MD02 using planning type 1 using basic dates
but when i convert the planned order into production order, the finish date always change,
so, if the finish date in the planned order is 01.04.2010 , after i convert into production order, the finish date change into 02.04.2010
what makes me confuse is that the scheduling time is backward, but why all the finish date of the planned order after i convert to production order change into +1 days after the finish dates ??
can you help me to solve this problem?

Authorization for Basic dates and Forecast dates

Hello colleagues,
My customer requires is to have separate authorizations for using Basic dates and Forecast dates within WBS Element, Network and Milestone.
Iv'e noticed that the rellevant autorization object to have this separation is C_PROJ_TCD ; field: PSARG ; activity: 111 & 112. However I wonder if this is relevant to all related objects in the project or only to the Project definition object.
If the answer is only to PD I will be glad to have an idea how to controll it within the other objects .
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Nir
Edited by: Nir Horvitz on Nov 23, 2010 10:32 AM
Edited by: Nir Horvitz on Nov 23, 2010 10:41 AM

It is for all the objects... but you can not control it on basis of only that auth object.
For network,
use object :
C_AFKO_ACT
and activity 22 Display dates
for Project def and WBS, use
C_PROJ_KOK, C_PROJ_PRC, C_PROJ_VNR
C_PRPS_KOK, C_PRPR_PRC, C_PRPS_VNR

Difference Between Basic Date Scheduling and Lead Time Scheduling.

Dear FRndz,
Kindly help me out the difference between the Basic Date Scheduling and Lead Time Scheduling.
Regards,
SRini

Dear,
Basic scheduling :
1.Basic dates are calculated.
2.Exact to day.
3.No cap reqmts are generated.
4.Uses the inhouse production time from material master.
5.Carried out automatically during planning run.
In basic date calculation ( order start date/ order finish date ) the system always
calculates backward scheduling.
1. From the reqmts date the system subtracts the GR processing time to
calculate the order fininsh date.
2. From the order finish date the system subtracts the inhouse production time to calculate the order start date.
3. From the order start date the system subtracts the opening period given in scheduling margin key to calculate the order opening date.
Lead time scheduling :
1.Exact to second
2.ie production start date /time and finish date and time are calculated.
3. cap reqmts are generated.
4. uses times from routing.
5. carried out only if the scheduling mode in MD02 screen is kept with indicator 2.
From the order finish date the system subtracts the float after production to calculate the production finish date.
From the production finish date the individual operations in the routing are scheduled backwards to calculate production start date.
From the production start date the system subtracts the float before production
to calculate order start date.
Same thread.

View document in material master, Basic data 2 screen?

Hello gurus,
How to view a DIR assigned to material master - basic data 2?
According to help.sap.com:
Additional Function for Material Master Record:
In Customizing for the Material Master, you can define a standard document type by choosing Make Global Settings.
- Done this: assigned document type needed, created a DIR with that type and assigned it to a given material
Documents of this standard document type are displayed in the material master record, in the Basic data 2 view (Extras ® Document data).
- Information of the DIR can be seen in the main screen, no path Extras --> Document data (I know DIRs are shown behind menu path Additional data --> Documents)
You can display the original application files of a document (for example, an engineering/design drawing) directly from the object (for example, material) using a display application (viewer).
PROBLEM starts here: no icon or button to click in order to view the document although the help states so.
Any idea what should be done? Should I install a software of some sort to view? Assign it somehow with SAP? The document type here is doc (MS Word), so nothing special.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
BR,
Pipsa

Hello Sam,
Sorry, I think I described the problem inaccurately.
I could see the document already but for that I must follow the path Additional data --> Document data.
My core question was: Is there a means to allow a user to display the document directly in the screen Basic data 2 since system creates a new subscreen called Design documents assigned anyway?
It seems that the design documents assigned is for information purposes only. It would have been far better with usability to have the display icon in the main data.
