Can't set due date for to do in iCal

I'm not sure if I'm blind or not, but i can't seem to set a due date for my to-do events. There's an option to say that there is a due date, but all it does is that it bring the view to the current day and changes the icon to an alert icon.
Is anyone else facing this problem?
I'm using iCal Version 3.0.5 (1270).

qwertyjem,
Click on "due date" and define your requirements (day/month/year) ...if...you have set the preferences to match your requirements in System Preferences...>International>Formats>Region:/Dates/Times.

Setting Due Date for task using business days

While this may not be new news to many, I found little information on how to add a certain number of business days to determine the due date for a task to be used in a workflow. For SharePoint 2010 environments that cannot run custom code, I have
found a solution that utilizes two additional columns in the task list. The first column I named
Deadline (a number with no decimal places), which will contain the number of business days until a task is to be completed.
The second I named Business Deadline (a calculated column returning a
Date and Time). The formula for the calculated column is:
=[Modified]+INT(ROUNDDOWN([Deadline]/5,0)*7)+ IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5))<MOD([Deadline],5), IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5)+2)=7,MOD([Deadline],5)+4, IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5)+2)=1,MOD([Deadline],5)+3,MOD([Deadline],5)+2)), IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5))=7,MOD([Deadline],5)+2, IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5))=1,MOD([Deadline],5)+1,MOD([Deadline],5))))
The workflow on create in the task list then is:
Set Deadline to {number of business days}
then Wait for Deadline to equal {number of business days} 'Necessary to ensure the Business Deadline has been set
'then Set Due Date to CurrentItem:Business Deadline
Hope this helps a few others that are beating their heads against their desks like I was.

Due Date for Reminders app and iCal

Where is the option to add a due date for a reminder? There is an option to Remind Me but no Due Date.
The only way that a Due Date shows up in the Reminder app on the iPhone is if the Reminder is created within iCal on the Mac and syncs back to iPhone.

It doesn't exist. Please, please, please, report the issue to Apple that both alarms and due dates at the same time are not possible as a bug here:http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html. The more people who submit it, the more likely Apple will listen.

Can we set future dates for forward emails for part time staff?

We have a part time staff member who is off on wednesday each week.
Can we pre-set a calendar function to always have their email forwarded to a support email address on all wednesday's so emails from customers do not get missed?

I suppose a brute-force approach would work with a filter of the kind pictured below, as long as all Wednesdays were entered, but if the account could be set up as IMAP, then the mail could be viewed on any device at all times, including the days when action is required by another staff member.
An IMAP setup would also display all replies on any device, made from any device, so that everyone would know when replies had been made to customers.

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow
I need to set it today because there are tasks that is needed to be completed on the same day.
Is there a way without modifying the page/form. like a configuration or something?

Hi ,
As Ajeet said, for implement your requirement, you can change the data validation on the Due data field.
You can do as the following :
Open the site with SharePoint Designer 2010
Click on Workflows on the left launch, then find ‘Approval-SharePoint 2010’, click on it
On the Forms section, click ‘ReviewApproval_***.xsn’
Then you can find Due Data for All Tasks, and change the validation
In addition, if you create an approval workflow with SharePoint Designer, you can use a specific date, it contains hour and minute.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

DUE DATE FOR CREDIT MEMO

Hello,
I have a question about credit memo -due date.
Using MIR7, MIRO for credit memo the due date for net payment is the same with baseline date.
e.g. document date:18/07/2007
posting date:18/07/2007
baseline date:18/07/2007 terms of payment are 30 days
the system issue due date : 18/07/2007 but correct is 18/08/2007
What can I do to calculate due date correct for credit memo ? (baseline date + terms of payment) ?
Thanks.

Hello
Check the settings in "Terms of Payment"
Check what you have checked in "base line date calculation', I think you need to enter 1 in the box additional months.
Next in the default date setting, check if you ticked "posting date "

Difference between Due Date for All Tasks and Duration per task in an approval workflow

Hello,
I'm starting to read up and learn about approval workflows in Designer 2010. I am confused by the fields "Due Date for all Tasks" and the "Duration per task". I understand that the Due date for all Tasks is the date that all
of the tasks in the workflow must be completed by. And I understand that the duration means each task has x number of days to complete.
But I dont know whey we need them both. If I have the task duration set to two days and there are 3 tasks involved, then wouldn't the due date be 6 days from the start? Why would I have a due date for all tasks that is completely different than
the sum of the duration of days for each task?
Please help shed some light!

Hi Michelle,
Due date for all tasks, this setting specifies the date by which all tasks are due. It’s used for serial and parallel
task.
Duration per tasks, this setting specifies the date by which an individual
task is due, it’s used for serial workflow participants.
Note, when you create an approval workflow, select task process participants(approvers oob approval workflow), we can also
select once at a time(serial) or all at once(parallel).
For more information, see

Any easier way to set due dates?

By and large, I'm pretty happy with the functionality of iCal, even if it's a bit basic. But setting due dates on to dos and events is very frustrating!
Let's say you add a new to do, then click the due date box. Today's date is filled in, say, 26/08/2007 in my part of the world. I want to schedule the to do for next month. To change it you click on the day part, enter a number (say, 08), then tab or click on the month part. At this time the iCal display jumps to 08/08/2007 (in the past!). Now I get to manually type in the new month, 9, and press Return or tab and things are good again. It's all kind of long-winded and messy. What's sorely needed is a drop-down calendar picker, or the ability to click on the existing calendar at the left to pick a date.
Does anyone know of any easier way to enter due dates? I've even looked for external programs that handle to do functionality, but can't find any that automatically sync changes to iCal for syncing to my Palm Treo. Anyone know if iCal in Leopard is any better in this regard?
Thanks in advance!

I couldn't agree more. I can't believe that this has escaped Apple for so long, and didn't even make it into Leopard. Let's say its the middle of November and I want to schedule a to-do due date for the end of the week, say Friday, second week of December. I do this all the time. Sorry, but I can't do the math this quickly, so I need to open up a calendar, or scroll down the calendar, then enter the exact date manually.
Just give me a quick pop-up. Travel web sites do this. Now Up To Date in 1992 had drop down calendars. So does Entourage, which is what I use ONLY because of this one glaring pain. Entering due dates, reminders, etc, is just a pain in iCal, and even worse now in Mail.

Due Date for Emails

Hi Experts,
System: SAP CRM 2007 (WEB UI)
I am trying to set-up ERMS Due date for incoming emails. I am trying out the Standard funtionality by using the two services
FG_ESCALTIME
UT_ESCALDETERM
Can any one help me with the Properties that I should set up for FG_ESCALTIME service. Also, when I am using Property--> METHOD and PROPERTY VALUE --> 2 for the service UT_ESCALDETERM, the routing is failing.
Can someone help me fix this.
Regards,
Namita

Hello,
Have you tried using the BADI "CUSTOM_HIT_LIST_SORT" to define that email work items should be sorted in ascending order? You might also look at some of the other BADIs for the Agent Inbox as well such as "AFTER_SEARCH" or "COMPUTE_DEADLINE_AND_PRIORITY". Please take a look at the 82 page FAQ document attached to SAP Note 882653 (Frequently Asked Question about IC Agent Inbox) in case you have not already done so.
Warm regards,
John

Can you set an alert for birthdays in Addressbook and iCal?

When I migrated from Palm Calendar to iCal, my calendar had my birthdays in it repeating each year and with a 7 day alert so I could send a card or get a present in time.
I see you can list a birthday in Addressbook and set the iCal pref to show them which is at first glance very cool and green but when I open the birthday event in iCal I don't see any way to set an alert which is a big limitation.
If I can't set alerts, then the Addressbook/iCal birthday syncing is kind of pointless and limited, unless I'm missing how to set alerts.

Hi Steven,
This is one of the reasons why I wrote Dates to iCal.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries.
Best wishes

1. How can I set the data binding between Web Dynpro and Database table ?
2. Are there any nescessary steps that I will concern for this case?
Sorry if my question is simple, I had try to find solution myself, but it not found
Thanks in advances,

Hi,
You can write your own connection class for establishing the connection with DB.
Ex:
public class ConnectionClass {
static Connection con = null;
public static Connection getConnection() {
try{
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/TSPAGE");
con = ds.getConnection();
return con;
}catch(Exception e){
return null;
You can place the above class file in src folder and you can use this class in webdynpro.
You can have another UserInfo class for reading and writing the data into the DB .

Calculate due date for vendor payment

hi friends,
In my project i need to calculate the due date for vendor payment.as my client maintain different payment terms for different vendors am not able to pick the payment key from t052 table and calculate the due date.
do anyone have a solution for this......
prajith

Hi
You can insert Payment terms in Vendor master and also you can change or assign payment term while making transaction.
But first of all you should have payment term.

New Due date for reversed Invoice

Hi Experts,
Can we determine a new due date for reversed invoice through standard configuration? The due date of reversed invoice remains the same as that of the original invoice even if its reversed after a year. It looks very odd that a FICA entry has a due date of past.
I tried by assigning the out-going payment term to the FICA payment term configuration but it doesnot determines a new due date from the posting date I provide during invoice reversal.
Any Clue ?
Regards
Satyajeet

Hi Satyajeet,
As per standard SAP, the due date of a particular invoice is derived from the date you are posting it in SAP and the payment terms configured in the contract account master, irrespective of the fact that whether it is a cancel-rebilled invoice or a normal invoice.
So if a invoice is posted on 05.08.2011 and the payment terms mantained at the CA master is 5 days then the due date will be on 10.08.2011.
The due date of a invoice is determined in event R417. Check if any custom FM is assigned in there which is changing the standard SAP functionality.
Also check event 1330, which gets called from event R417 to determine the due date.
Hope it helps.....
Thanks,
Amlan
