Change Default resources Assignment Owner in Project Professional, in the checked-out Enterprise Resource Pool?

Hi,
i'm not able to change the default Assignment Owner (massive) in the Checked-out Enterprise resource pool in Project Professional 2013.
I've also unlocked the "Windows account edit" in the Register Editor.
Do you know if is this possible or i have to change it for each resource one by one???
Thanks
Best regards

Hello Daniele,
I think what you are seeing is by design behavior. Per below article you can set the Default Assignment owner in Project Web Access and it appears in various places in Project client.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/project-help/default-assignment-owner-resource-field-HA010167482.aspx
If you want to set the same default assignment owner for multiple resources then you can try bulk edit option in resource center.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Kiran K.

Project server 2013----new custom field value is not synced between my work assignment view and project professional

Hi All,
I would like to add a new custom enterprise field in project server to caculate the effective work. I hope it can work as the default field "work" and "overtime work". And I add my custome enterprise field to my work assignment and the
related details view. User can update the values in "my task" but after PM accept the updates, these values are not synced to the project center as well as project professional. Any idea?
Regards,
Anna

Yes, I am saying that the PM cannot see the updated values in the enterprise project in Microsoft Project 2013. It is a task custom field. No errors for it. Would you please help create a task custom field on your side to see whether you can reproduce
this issue? After creating the field, please add it to the "My task" related views so that project members can update the value for the task when they update the task information under "my tasK" page. After that, open the project plan as
project manager to see whether you get the updated value. Thanks a lot!

Anna

Change default cost assignment specification

Hello,
I do have an organisation which assignes all travel expenses to (project) orders instead of cost centers.
Is there a way to change the default cost assignment (cost centers) to (project) orders on the travel expense WebDynpro?
As there is no project order maintained in any employee related Infotype this should force the traveller to select the appropriate (project) order from a list.
Thanks for your feedback,
Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang
Good news you can do this by customizing
You can even hide unused cost objects if you need only orders.
This can be customized here : Financial accounting (new) => travel management => Employee Self-Services => Interface Configuration for web dynpro interface in travel management => Set up variable layout for account assignment objects
Hope this helps

Changing default ACL assignment

What i've seen is that administrator users are created with a private ACL on all their oject and other users with a all published ACL.
Now i'd like to create new user assigning them a different ACLPropertyBoundle by default.
For expample i want to have a folder private and a folder protected automatically created with yhe user creation.
Can anyone suggest s problem solution?
It's posiible to do what I need?
Thanks

The default ACL for all objects created by a user comes from the User Profile. It can be set via the API or using iFS Manager. This will effect the default acl for all objects, not just folders.

When I try to check-in a FCP project it never fully checks in. The "check-out pencil icon" turns from yellow to grey and then stays put for good.

Any thoughts on what's happening and how I can fix?
Thank you!

I wish I had a mac :-P
Sadly, this is Windows machine so I dont have a non-iOS version of iMovie. I have 2 ideas left. The first is xfering the project to my iPhone 4 and trying to export it there (if that works, awesome but geez apple the iPad 2 is way more powerful than the iphone 4.. youd think I wouldnt even have to attempt this). The 2nd idea is to start at the end of my movie and delete clips and sounds backwards, trying to export each time to find whatever clip is causing the issue (when the movie was 5 minutes it mixed no probem, so I only need to go that far).
Wish me luck?
Also, is anyone else besides me and the 5 dudes in the other threads having this issue?? Speak up, guys - Apple cant a fix a problem they dont know about.

MS Project Professional 2007 resource loaded .mpp file published to EPM server but resources can't see their tasks in PWA

Hi all:
I'm using MS Project Professional 2007 and I created the schedule as an .mpp file and assigned resources before I loaded the schedule to the EPM server. I created the resource names consistently with the names in the Enterprise resource pool and when I go into
tools / assign resources and filter on enterprise resources, I see the resources I assigned to my project associated with the correct tasks. The only problem is that when these resources go into PWA, they can't see their assigned tasks even after I save and
publish the project. If I create a new resource assignment while I am connected to the server, then the resource can see the new assignment, but I don't want to have to completely recreate the project assignments to remedy this situation. Can anyone tell me
another way to fix it so that resources begin to see their assignments in PWA and can enter their time there?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Hey Dale. Published = Yes on all tasks. That's not it.
But you definitely hit the mark on Assignment Owner. That must be where the problem is. When I read that I remembered that when I go into PWA all the project tasks show up under My Tasks, which seemed wrong to me and I asked the administrator
about that. he told me it was because I was the project owner. Now I know that was not a correct response on his part and I'll point it out to him.
I did check the Resources and Assignment Owner was blank. I tried to set it to be the Resource and it's a locked field. I can't do it. It doesn't surprise me that this field is locked because I suspect the administrator controls the
Enterprise Resource pool. But what does it tell you that this field is blank. Since I'm getting the tasks in my My Task list, I expected to find my name there.
Anything else I should check?
Anything I should tell the admin about how to make the Resources the owners of their own tasks. I assume that should be the default. That can be corrected just as easily in the Resource Sheet View as in the Resource Usage view, I assume
-- is that correct?
Thanks again for helping me figure out what the problem is.

Project have resource which is not in enterprise resource pool

I am getting notification on project that the following assignments have been updated.
The assignments you own below have changed.
Assigned to:
Task Name:
Start: Remaining Work: Completion: etc
I am not a project manager of the project neither owner. I m administrator.

Project Help --
It sounds like you are the Default Assignment Owner for the resource in question. First of all, navigate to the Tasks page in PWA and locate the assignments in question. Look in the Resource Name column for the resource who is actually assigned
to the tasks.
Next, I would recommend that you navigate to the Resource Center page, select the checkbox for only this resource, and then click the Edit Resource button to check out this resource for editing using the PWA interface. In the Assignment Attributes
section of the page, locate the Default Assignment Owner field. My guess is that you will see your name there, or perhaps no name at all. Click the Browse button and select the name of this resource in the Pick Resource dialog, and then click the
Save button to save these changes.
Finally, the PM of this project will need to open the project or projects containing the tasks that you are seeing. He/she will need to apply the Resource Usage view and then temporarily insert the Assignment Owner column to the right of the Resource
Name column. He/she will need to set the Assignment Owner to the name of the resource for all tasks assigned to that particular resource, then save and publish the project.
Please let us know if this helps.

Project Templates with Enterprise Resources

I'm using Project Server 2013 ( latets updates installed for both Client and Server)
I've created a project template and attached this to a project type. My template has enterprise resources speciified. So far so good.
Now I'm trying to create a project using this template and I'm getting some errors. (See below)
As soon as I remove the resources from my template the project creates fine.
It looks like 'rsResourceCannotAddLocalWithSameNameAsEnterprise' in the error below means that Project Server looks at the resource in the template and considers the resources in the template always to be a local resources. And of
course the resource already exists in my enterprise resources and therefore the project creation fails.
Datasets:

Table ProjectResource

My questions are:
Are Enterprise Resources in templates supported?
Is there a way around this? We're trying to make it easy to select a subset of the enterprise resources available.

I have experienced this exact same thing and my situation is highly irregular.
This is with Project Server 2013.
I had an EPT with a Project Schedule that had Generic Enterprise Resources assigned and was able to create new projects without problems using the EPT from the New button in the Project Centre in PWA.
I was creating new projects to test and demonstrate Portfolio Analysis and was able to model Organisational Capacity represented by my Generic Resources and also the Surplus/Deficit element of Resource Constraints on a Portfolio. The Hired Resource Report
was failing.
A Service Pack and Cumulative update were applied to the Server and now I cannot create new projects using EPTs that have a project schedule with Generic Enterprise Resources assigned to tasks in the schedule.
I checked the error message for the Failed and Blocking job in the queue and the GUIDs were for my Generic Enterprise Resources. I deleted the offending Generic Enterprise Resources and then re-created them anew, edited the Project Template to have
these Generic Enterprise Resources on the Project Team and randomly assigned them to tasks in the schedule to generate a notional demand for work in the Project Template. I then Saved the Template in Project as a new Project Template and edited my EPT
to reference this new Project Schedule.
Same error encountered again.
Perversely I can open the Template schedule in Project Professional and do Save As and save it as a new project to the Server and that works just fine - the schedule is visible in the Project Centre and I can edit the schedule in both Project Pro and in
PWA.
My hunch is that the Cumulative Update and Service Pack which were applied to try and resolve the failing "Hired Resources Report" in Portfolio Analysis, which sadly it didn't resolve - has probably provoked this interesting challenge as it is
the only material thing to change on the Server during the time that this issue has manifested itself.
Am I the only one to encounter this?

Resource Center - Need to change a Local Resource to an Enterprise Resource

The Resource Record for a resource was accidently deleted. This resource was still assigned to active project tasks at the time of the delete. A new Resource Record was created but it has the resource as a Local Resource. How can I move
this resource back to the Enterprise Resource Pool?
As a Local Resource the Assignment Owner field on his assigned tasks are not populating, so he cannot see any tasks on his timesheets. Also, the resource cannot be assigned to any new project tasks because he cannot be added to the Project Enterprise
Pool.
Attempted to remove the Resource Record that was created using Delete Enterprise Objects -> Resources and Users but since the resource is Local and not Enterprise his record is not showing to select it for delete.
Would the Admin Restore->Enterprise Resource Pool and Calendars functionality put his original record back in place? I understand only one version of this backup is kept but that should be the version we currently have. What data might be
lost using this functionality? Any chance other users would be adversely impacted?
We are using Project Pro 2010

Hi Dennykat,
As mentionned in your previous post, restoring the resource pool should work, since it is restoring resources with their metadata and with the exact same UID. Thus the deleted and restored enterprise resource should have everything back (assignments, timesheets...).
Since I never tested such as process, I strongly advice to test it in the dev environment on a simple test case.
I remember that if also adviced you to recreate the enterprise resource and type in the resource sheet on one of the resource's project the exact enterprise resource name (exact same syntax), so Project should ask you when saving if you want to replace the
local resource by the enterprise one. Can you confirm that it didn't work?
Hope this helps.

Unable to open/edit project in project professional form PWA(project server 2010)

i have been working perfectly and opening my projects with project professional from PWA
All of a sudden,i get this error: no permission to read enterprise global file when trying to edit my projects in project professional from the PWA
i have also tried opening the project from project professional directly and it says (you do not have sufficient permissions to perform the requested action)
please what is the cause of this issue and what can i do to resolve it?

Hello kehinde,
The cause of this problem is somebody changed something.
To resolve, I would clear out the cache to see if that resolves anything.
Then, I would reboot system and see if that resolves.
If still no go, then I would look into security settings, and start doing some detective work. I keep a version of project server in a separate instance, that is completely out of the box, so I can have a reference point for settings.
If still not solution, then I would resave the global file settings.
Cheers!

How to make default account assignment category in planned order?

Scneario Description:
1. Sales order for a configurable parent item is created in ERP & order BOM is changed & transferred to APO. In APO MRP run takes place for that parent item, which creates a planned order with account assignment category "M" (M:Individual Customer w/o KD-CO.
2. Now based on the dependant requirement generated for parent item, MRP takes place for one of the child item in ERP & purchase requisition gets created for child item.
Question:
1. Can anybody help me how i can make default account assignment as "F" (F:Order) in the planned order of parent item?
2. PR created for child item also has default account assignment category as "M". we wish to change that to "F".
Thanks & best regards
Hemchandra & Sandeep Mandhana

Hi V. Suresh,
The account assignment category maintained in the requirement class for parent item is 'M'.
No account assignment category maintained has been maintained in the requirement class Semi-finished component (this component is sent for subcontracting).
The business process is as follows:
1. Create Sales Order for Parent say ME_PARENT.
2. Order BOM for ME_PARENT is created and subsequently cifed to APO.
3. PP/DS heuristic is run for ME_PARENT.
4. MRP for component ME_COMP is run in ERP.
It can be seen that purchase requistion for ME_COMP has a/c assgn category as 'M'. It seems that the ME_COMP has inherited 'M' from ME_PARENT.
We would like to have no a/c assgn category for ME_COMP.
Any pointers?
Regards,
Sandeep

How can we get the Latest Resource Assigned in the Approval Form

I was wondering if there is any way to get the Latest Assigned Resources to a User in my Approval Form.
I tried this <ref>waveset.resourceAssignments</ref> but it returned all the Resources assigned to a User. While creating a User with Resource Assigned it won�t be problem. While Update when a User is assigned a Resource & it comes for Approval to the owner, all the Previously assigned resources shows up. How can I get only the Latest Resource Assigned.
Can anyone provide some hints on this..

idm_guy, if you could elaborate more on what you mean with latest resource assigned it would help - but there are a number of options (if i interprent you correctly to solvethis). My guess is that the easiest way would be to determine if:
waveset.accounts[<iterate through resources>].created = true or false
and if
waveset.accounts[<resource>].lastPasswordUpdate = <last updated date>
The latter is of course only applicable to resource where you set a password. This value will be updated whenever you set the password and could be a possible value to check against.
If the account is not created yet but assigned it might be another possibility to check, but again - clairfy a bit about what you mean with "Latest Resource Assigned".
