Baseline Duration custom field not calculating duration properly

Hi,
I am using MS Project server 2010. In it, I created one custom field named 'Baseline_Duration' similar to 'Baseline Duration' & applied the formula 'ProjDateDiff([Baseline Start], [Baseline Finish], "Standard")'. In Baseline_Duration
& Baseline Duration columns, values should be same. But for some tasks, values in Baseline_Duration column is different from Baseline Duration column, & for other tasks, both are same.
Please suggest me why values in both columns are different for some tasks?
Thanks & Regards Pradeep Gangwar

Pradeep,
It sounds like the issue might be within the setting for that 'Baseline_Duration' field and calculations
for summary rows.
In cases where Baseline Duration was saved for individual tasks without rolling up to summaries rows - you may have deviations. Applying "Use Formula"
for summary rows should do the trick.

Alex

Custom Field not showing in analytics?

We have a custom field on the account object called sales stage. It is a simple pick list (our organization does not use the opportunity object). The custom field is not available in analytics. Is there something on the field setup that needs to be flagged? All of our other fields seem to appear just fine. This is so bizzarre!!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hm. Still no answers.
We have a similar problem concerning custom fields not available in Answers. It concerns a custom field for an additional tel no. in the user record type. I thought it might have something to do with the fact that it can only be utilized through the other data types, using "owned by user".
But as you have the same problem, maybe there is a solution... Any idea would be appreciated.

Custom Field not working

Hi,
I've made a project level custom field in PWA that takes "Total Slack" (in-built duration field) and based on a switch formula gives out 3 values viz. High, Medium, Low The field formula is as mentioned below:
Switch([Total Slack] <= -7, "High", [Total Slack] >= 0, "Low", [Total Slack] > -7 And [Total Slack] <= -1, "Medium")
The formula works very well and displays value as High for projects with Total slack less than -7. However, the formula is not working for Total Slack between -7 and -1 i.e. greater than - 7 and less than -1. The formula returns the value as "High"
only.
I've tried editing and publishing the project both from PWA as well as Proj Professional after updating task duration to calculate Total Slack.
This field is critical and used in many views. I am looking for a solution to resolve this issue. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

The next step then would be to move away from the SWITCH statement and use a nested if statement, along the lines of....
iif ([Total
Slack]/[Minutes
Per
Day]<=-7,"High",iif([Total
Slack]/[Minutes
Per
Day]<=-1,"Medium","Low"))
Please note that I haven't validated this formula as I don't have MSProject on this PC, but it should be good enough to take you forward.

SRM 7.0 customer fields not saved in shopping cart

Dear experts,
I have created 2 fields using the fields extension in the customizing and set the metadata for them to be displayed. The fields are visible on screen. However when data enteres, this data is not being saved in the Shopping cart document.
Any clues?
Another question, which is a bit techno, is when i have extended the SC screen using the enhancement framework instead of using the standard extension options. i would have thought that by binding these fields to the standard header node with the custom fields as structure would have saved me the job of throwing data and fetching data from the table/bapi. This isn't working either. I reckon the problem will be related to issue #1 above.
Regards
Ali

Hello Ali,
did you extend both the structure INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC and INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF? It should be useful to define a custom structure that contains your fields and append it to both the structure named above. Then re-check if the metadata structure has been enhanced properly (in your case, view /SAPSRM/V_MDF_IC).
Hope this helps,
Matteo
EDIT: I was assuming you were intended to add new fields at item level. If your task is to add fields @ header level, simply substitute HEADER to ITEM in the structure's name.

Custom field not getting displayed in SUS PO item level

HI all,
We are using SRM 5.0, ECC6.0 and ECS scenario.
As per SAP note 762984, we have enhanced the structures such as :
INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SUSPO
INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF
and have added a record in the following place in SPRO:
Supplier Relationship management-> Supplier self service->Make field control settings for tables.
| Item | Display | Z.PO.ITM.VIEW
| Item | Change | Z.PO.ITM.EDIT
But we are unable to display the field in the SUS screen.
We had also referred to the following blog :
/people/yeusheng.teo/blog/2008/01/05/ordering-unit-vs-order-pricing-unit-in-srm-sus
but had no success.
Please let us know if we did something wrong or are we missing something.
Also please let us know if BSP changes are really necessary to do this as neither in the SAP note nor in the above mentioned blog, there is any mention about this.
Regards
Kishan

Hi Bharadwaj,
Thank you for your inputs. I executed the program but it didn't display the field.
But I was able to rectify it by re-creating the steps mentioned in the blog (see original post). I had missed giving correct positions to the custom field.

Custom fields not getting updated in Mass Maintenance-MM17

Hi,
I have created a custom field in MARC table and the data is getting updated to the MARC table through MM01/MM02 but it is not getting updated by MM17. I have checked the notes 44410, 576160, 414020 and 116311. I have done the following changes as per the sap notes.
1. Created a custom segment ZE1MARCM by copying the standard segment E1MARCM and added the custom field in that
    segment.
2. I have extended the IDOC 'MATMAS03' and added the custom segment ZE1MARCM to E1MARAM.
3. Created a new entry in we82 and provided the extension type 'ZMATMAS03' and release '701'.
4. Adjusted the partner profile in we20 for matmas with port and providing the extension idoc type.
5. Added the custom field in the table MASSFLDLST.
6. Implemented the code in BADI 'MG_MASS_NEWSEG' and exits 'EXIT_SAPLMV01_002' , 'EXIT_SAPLMV02_002' as per the
    sap notes.
The custom field is not getting updated through mass maintenance. Please let me know if i have missed anything?
Thanks,
Geeta

I had this same question several years ago. Please check my answer at Initialize MARC Custom Fields Using MM17 Does Not Work

Custom field not getting populated in the "Show Results where" drop down

Hi all,
In appointment detail page by clicking on Add button on the user related information section , it takes us to a search layout showing the list of available users.
Here we have to filter the user's based on a custom field which has already been created in the user object. But I am not able to add the custom field in the "Show results where" drop down for which the search has to be done.
It is getting reflected in the normal search layouts.So Can any one tell me why the change is not getting reflected in the user related info search layout?

I tested your use case and you are correct. I would recommend that you submit a service request to CRM On Demand customer care in reference to this issue.

Custom fields not display in SRM5.5 Basic Data Frame

Hello Everybody,
      I am working on SRM5.5 Server which i have to add two custom fields in Basic Data Frame..
     No field is display in basic data frame After I added those fields in INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC and INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF.
    I added these fields by help of 672960 OSS notes..
   Add also when i execute the program BBP_DYNPROS_GENERATE where I entered the program name as SAPLBBP_PDH_CUF and execute but non of them is working fine..
Is there anything else do i need to display custom fields in basic data frame??
I have one more question..
When you logon through SAPGUI and goto BBPSC01 t.code where you see lots of fields in basic data frame such as unloading point and all.. But those all fields does not display when you logon through WebURL..
I checked is there any BAdi such CUF or Screenvarient or some Badi has been actived but non of the Badi has been implemented..
To display all the fields which are display in GUI Mode also should display in URL..
To bring this functionality , What do i need to do?
I appreciate if you answer these questions..
Thanks,
John.

Hi Disha,
We are trying to add custom fields to the Shopping Cart Header. We are using SRM 5.0. We added the fields to the structures "INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_SC" & "INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF". We are able to see the custom fields. But the issue is , we are able to see the custom fields in the Shopping Cart one step shop scenario. Whereas when we run the wizard which is a 3 step scenario, we are not able to see the custom fields.
Technically speaking, the custom fields are visible for the ITS BBPSC01 & BBPSC03 , where as these custom fields are not visible for the ITS BBPSC02.
Please let me know, if we need to append the fields to some other structure to be able to see them in the Shopping cart wizard also.
I will be gald to provide any kind of info.
Thanks in advance...

Address Book, importing text tab file, custom fields not there

Searched thru all past posts. Found some that are close but not what I am trying to do.
Open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Keyword".
I also add two more custom fields in the Phone area called "Work 3" and "Work 4". There are other custom fields I need but I want to keep this short.
Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Keyword, Work 3 and Work 4 are there. All good so far.
I have a Now Contact file with about 800 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing?
That is my problem.
Adding new contacts as I get them, is fine. Importing 800 contacts with these custom fields is not possible.
I could map them to go to the Notes field along with actual notes but that is inelegant. The custom fields are there, why can't we use them to their full potential.
This appears to be a bug to me. Let me know what you think.

Hi Adam,
Thanks, but the problem is not importing to AddressBook, it is exporting. I did discover from another that I can export very easily to a Numbers spreedsheet. It is exceptionally simple. But it will not export custom fields. Someone said that is because of a vcard standard. My custom fields are just "name" fields that I have labeled differently. But Numbers does not support the name (it only takes the name of the card).

Hi
Please go through the related pointers ->
The OSS note 672960 has already indicated you need to use BADI to address it.
For Search criteria
You can also use user-defined fields as search criteria. To do this, you have to set fields XINPUT and XDISPLAY to 'X' in table ET_FIELDS for the fields you want to use in BADI BBP_CUF_BADI_2 in method MODIFY_SCREEN. The fields defined this way are displayed if you choose the 'Extended search' link.

PO Custom Field not getting filled from Shopping Cart

Hi Gurus,
I am new to SRM. The requirement I had was to add a new field to the SC. I read several posts and articles on this but couldn't find the solution to it. I managed to do this modifying the corresponding structures in SRM and making the necessary changes in R/3 so the new filed can be seen in ME21/22/23N.
I checked Andreas Milbredt document to achieve it as mentioned:
Document: How to transfer custom fields from SRM to Backend.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/index?rid=/library/uuid/20b36c12-685f-2c10-4fb4-ba2e0b969c27
After that, when I create a Shopping Cart, the value in the New field is not transferred to the Back end.
I coded the following BADIs and User Exits:
In SRM:
BBP_CUF_BADI_2 (MODIFY_SCREEN) ->To enable or disable the field depending on conditions. Works fine.
BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI (BBP_DOC_CHECK) -> To do some checks. Works Fine
BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW (FILL_PO_INTERFACE1) ->Here I fill structures BAPI_TE_MEPOITEM and BAPI_TE_MEPOITEMX. I added another u2018Xu2019 to indicate the new field to BAPI_TE_MEPOITEMX. But I think I am not doing it right. This structure BAPI_TE_MEPOITEM/X, does the order of the fields correspond to the order of the fields in any of these 3 structures (which I am using)?
INCL_EEW_PD_HISTORY_CSF
INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF
INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC
I also checked the following link:
Map a custom SRM field to a standard field in R/3
In R/3 I populated the Exits Andreau2019s mentions on his article. Am I missing anything else?
Thanks & Regards,
Ernesto.

Hi Ernesto,
You can find out how your BAPI structure is being populated (by generating the test data ) using FBGENDAT program and activating the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 (and you will need to set the parameter for the specified user id)... This will provide you ability to execute the BAPI offline and figure out what is happening...
Note 517767 - Generate test data for function modules
Things to look for, Is any of your custom fields quantity fields or integer?
Check out the following OSS note
Note 509898 - BAPI enhancement concept and Unicode
Also check out the following SDN Thread,
problem using BAPI_BUS2001_CREATE to create project definition

PS 2013 - Changing the formula in custom field not reflected in the report columns

Hi,
The company where I work have a Sharepoint environment / EPM 2013 with about seven hundred registered projects.
We have a customer demand where it is necessary to change the formula of one of the custom fields of the environment. This field is used in some management reports made in Reporting Services and accessed by the entire board. The report uses as a source
'MSP_EpmProject_UserView' view.
The change in formula was simple, but we found that the change will not be reflected in the reports when the user saves the project in Sharepoint or publish the schedule associated with the Project.
I believe this is the expected behavior of the EPM, but I wonder if there is some other way than through the PSI, to publish all environmental projects.
Best regards,
Armando Machado Gonçalves - Sharepoint / EPM 2013

Hello,
That is expected, it will not update until the project is open and republished. No automatic way to do this without automating project pro. Publishing all projects via the PSI wont cause the plan to recalculate, the plans will need to be opened.

1 custom field not showing up for modification in new List Variant for KS12

Dear SAP Experts,
I need some help regarding list variants using custom fields. I made a new List Variant for transaction KS12 using a few custom and standard fields. The custom fields are in CI_CSKS structure. I did all this according to not 95080 using option two (Adjust screen 1399 in function group KMA1). I got the header to display the name of the fields in SE51. The strange things is that after I start KS12 with the new list variant one of the custom fields doesn't show up for modification if there is no value in it where this is not the case with the others. That is if there is no value in it already (even on character) I can't enter new values in to it, which beats the purpose. I checked the attributes of the the custom fields and they are all the same, unless I missed something.
Does anyone have an idea why this could be?

Hi Michael - I too have exactly the same problem in Lion. It seems to be a bug.
A minor one, given all the other much larger issues I have with Lion.
I'm living with it in the expectation that someone will fix it. I notified it ages ago - long before the recent Lion update.
I am mainly using Snow Leopard. This problem doesn't happen in Snow.

Custom fields not visible in the Active Subject Area column

I have created several custom fields in the Object Service Request. I need to create a report with those fields, but some of them are not visible / displayed.
Is there any delay between the custom field creation and its availability in Oracle Answer? Because, only the "old" custom fields appears in the list.
Thanks in advance for your advices.
