Avoid Duplicate Tasks when Expanding Groups for Custom Task Process

Is there a way to:
Avoid Duplicate Tasks when Expanding Groups for Custom Task Process?
I've got a people metadata column that I am planning on putting groups into. I want the groups to expand and send a task for all users in the groups. I also want to avoid creating multiple tasks if a user happens to be in two groups at the same
time.
I'm trying to work out a way to assign users a read task based on job training requirements. Right now assigning groups and using a workflow task to confirm read is what I'm trying to accomplish. I just end up getting two tasks for a user if
their in multiple groups.

Hi David,
Please verify the followings:
After Participants, select Parallel(all at a once)
Expand Task Options, select ‘Assign a task to each member within groups’
Open the action properties, make sure ExpandGroup is Yes
Also in SharePoint Designer ,you can edit the property for the Start Approval Porcess to enable ExpandGroup:

How to avoid duplicate posting of noted items for advance payment requests?

How to avoid duplicate posting of noted items for advace payments request?

Puttasiddappa,
In the PS module, we allow the deletion of a component pruchase requisition allthough a purchase order exists. The system will send message CN707 "<i>A purchase order already exists for purchase requisition &</i>" as an Iinformation message by design to allow flexible project management.
If you, however, desire the message CN707 to be of type E you have to
modify the standard coding. Doing so, using SE91, you can invoke the
where-used-list of message 707 in message class CN, and to change the
i707(cn)
to
e707(cn)
where desired.
Also, user exit CNEX0039 provides the possibility to reject the
deletion of a component according to customers needs e. g. you may
check here whether a purchase order exists and reject the deletion.
Hope this helps!

How to increment predecessors sequentially from the tasks (200 to 215) for the tasks at 300 to 315

Hi Experts
How to increment the predecessors sequentially from the tasks (200 to 215) for the tasks at 300 to 315.
I am doing a work around.
1. Using project I select tasks 201 to 216 and link it to get the predecessors, which I copy and paste at the task 300 and unlink and delete the predecessors from 201 to 216.
2. create sequential list from 200 to 215 in spreadsheet (excel) and copy at task 300.
Is there any better way ..
Thanks a lot
Protocoder

If you have the list arranged properly, you can do this.
Say you have a list of tasks 201 - 216 inclusive, and they are the predecessors of tasks 301 - 316 inclusive.
Display the ID column, copy the ID numbers 201 - 216, then paste the list into the predecessors of 301 - 316.
If you have tasks 201 - 216 and they are all predecessors of 217 (because 217 is a finish milestone), you can type in all of the predecessors 201,202,203,...216. However, it is easier to copy the ID numbers from the ID column, paste them into MS WORD,
display the hidden characters to show the paragraph marks, then use replace to replace the paragraph marks with commas, then copy the list and paste back into MSP in the predecessor cell of task 217.
There are many tricks like this to avoid typing.
Another useful trick is to use concatenation in EXCEL to construct text strings and paste back to MSP.

Task Deadlines- Create deadlines for a task

There is a feature that is present in both MS Project and PWA 2013 that is
Task Deadlines
Create deadlines for a task
so anyone can please tell me how to create deadlines for task from PWA in project server 2013.

Hi Ashish,
You can go to PWA server settings, manage views, pick up a project view (such as task summary) and add the "deadline" column. Then opening your project Schedule and selecting the view in question, you'll be able to update the tasks' deadlines.
Hope this helps,

Need Help: Workflow Decision Task not visible in NWBC for customer Task

Hello All,
I am new to NWBC configuration , need ur expert knowledge for the below issue. I have checked the treat . Approve/Reject button for SRM Approval for RFx response ,but not able to get the exact steps for the configurations in NWBC.
Requirement.
     We are working on SLM/SRM module, where we have requirement to create a custom workflow with custom Task for which we have executed below actions.
Created the Custom Workflow.
Created the custom Task with custom ZCLASS and ZEVET.
Created   Event linkages in SWE2.
After doing this we are getting the workitem in the NWBC, currently we don’t have the Portal system in place, so we are using the NWBC for all our testing.
What is the issue?
     When we select the workitem in the NWBC (UML) inbox , the Decision Task ie “Approve” or “Reject” button are not visible , where as for SAP standard Task buttons are visible.
What help we need?
When we cross check the SCN/IBM portal, found that we need to do the XML file configurations. Can you any one kindly let us know the steps we need to follow to achieve our functionality.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks and Regards
Channa

You need to share the details of what Inbox you are using, configuration steps depend on it. If you aren't using portal, you aren't using UWL and there is no UML inbox. You need to get your facts straight. Most likely you are using the Business Workflow Inbox (SWF_WORKPLACE) or the Lean Inbox (IBO_WDA_INBOX). Both are based on Web Dynpro ABAP and POWL but the configuration is different. Regardless, you posted this in the wrong space. Correct space is either SAP NetWeaver Business Client or Web Dynpro ABAP.

How do i avoid duplicate data when synching iphone and mac book to the cloud?

When I left my job for the last time I uploaded my Microsoft Outlook Contacts to the Cloud so that I could synch it with my Iphone (which I did). Now I would like to also synch the Address Book on my Macbook with the Cloud and my Iphone so I can integrated all of these contacts. First I do not know if I can do this since my MACbook is a few years old aand I do not see the Cloud Icon anywhere on it. Second of all I am not sure which area (Cloud, Iphone, or Macbook) take precedence when synching. Can I lose data? Does one systems dat over ride the other? How can I avoid duplicate data? I am a fairly new Mac user and love the way things are integrated so I think I should not worry but I need help. thanks, tdag55

Hi meadowD,
If you are looking to remove duplicate files from iTunes, you may find the following article useful (in the most recent versions of iTunes 11, the Display/Show Duplicate Items option has been moved to the View menu):

Create task from conversation thread in news feed - Task must be created in custom task list

Hi All,<o:p></o:p>
Have a new requirement
were user should be able to create a task for himself from a conversational
thread in News feed.<o:p></o:p>
In
SharePoint 2013 we have a functionality where we can follow up on a
conversation and it creates a task in My Tasks which is in My site.<o:p></o:p>
But my requirement
is to create a task in Tasks list in same site collection on click of follow

My Tasks in
My site is an aggregated view of all tasks assigned to the logged in user. When
i follow a task in News feed a personal task is created in My task
(WmaAggregatorList_User internal name) list. When i Edit the personal task and
change the Projects
drop down to the required Project Name and Check -"Make this task public to project
members" it just creates a task is specific Site and moves
the task.<o:p></o:p>
I tried to
find if Projects and Check box are columns of Task list , but did not find any
columns.<o:p></o:p>
I am trying
to create a event receiver which would make these columns be set to Site Name
and check box checked so that when user creates a task it will directly move to
Custom Task list.<o:p></o:p>
Please

Thank you for your responce. I used a content query wp to rollup only the Major Milestones, but am unable to overlay the results to a calendar.. The link you provided is for overlaying different task lists onto a calendar, but does not detail how to
overlay the results from the content query onto a calendar.

Account Assignment Group for Customer........

Hi Experts,
We have created few new account assignment groups as per our customer requirement.....now if we want to update those new AAG for the already created documents like open sales order,sale order with delivery & open billing,how to proceed with that?.....any transctions do we have to execute this?.........Looking forward for your reply..........
Regards,
S.Kumar

Hi,
You can change the account assignment group in completely open orders via tcode "MASS" by selecting object type BUS2032.
since the account assignment group will be picked from sales order, need not to be changed in open delivery or billing.
Also for partial processed order would advise pls do not change the account assignment group. Another option could be to close the open orders and creat equivalent qty new order with correct account assignment group.
Pls check & revert.

Sanjay

Exporting Versions: avoid duplicate files when using external editor?

I've got an Aperture Library containing TIFF masters. Some of the files have been edited via built-in Aperture tools; others have been edited using an external editor (PhotoShop). I want to do a batch export of all the Versions as scaled-down JPEG. If I select all the files in the library and export, everything works as expected, but there is one nuisance: every file that has been edited externally is exported twice.
For example, consider a file named "MyFile-1.tiff", which exists in the library in the original version and the edited version, with the same filename. The export writes two files:
MyFile-1.jpg (the original version)
MyFile-1 (001).jpg (the Photoshopped version)
I only want and need the edited version. So "MyFile-1.jpg" is extraneous and needs to be deleted, and "MyFile-1 (001).jpg" needs to be renamed.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening without manually deselecting all of the individual version files I don't want to export? I don't see any setting or smart album feature that would say "when you find a file that has been edited externally, export only the externally edited version".
It's not a big deal for me to use batch file renaming to clean up the exported files, but it is one more step in the workflow that I'd rather avoid.

Do the original versions of the externally edit images have Aperture adjustments applied? And if so would you then want both of the images exported?
If the answer to the first question is no or the answer to the second is yes then this should work:

How to Design User Accounts and Groups for Human Task

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein we have a group of people to whom tasks get assigned. Details are below
Assume
PO- Purchase Order
IN- Invoice
CL1 - Client 1
CL2 - Client 2
CL3 - Client 3
REP1 - User 1
REP2 - User 2
REP3 - User 3
APP1 - Approver 1
APP2 - Approver 2
APP3 - Approver 3
1. There are two groups of people say PO_Team and IN_Team.
2. REPx are the folks who are in the IN_Team. They handle monitor invoices and run reports on them (READ - Only)
3. APPx are the folks who are in the PO_team. They approve order and sometimes modify them (READ-WRITE)
4. CLIx are the clients each of whom send PO and expect IN in return
5. CLI1 - APP1- REP1 together handle one client.
Now the requirement is something like this
1. APP1 must be able to see the PO and IN only from CLI1
2. APP1 must be able to see editable view of PO from CLI1
3. APP1 must be able to see red only view of IN from CLI1
4. REP1 must be able to see the PO and IN only from CLI1
5. REP1 must be able to see read only view of IN from CLI1
6. REP1 must be able to see read only view of PO from CLI1
7. In exception cases APP1 can assign a PO from CLI1 to APP2
Can someone help me in the design of groups and permissions for this?
TIA

Groups are the way to go. Every Human Task can be assigned to either a user or a group or a user and a group. Select the last option so that it goes to a particular user but also to a group. That way anyone in the group can approve these tasks though it is sent to one particular users list. Anyone from that group can pick that task up and approve it
