Completion percentage - If my Status date Task finish date & applied completion percentage 100% = ? New finish date for the task?

Hi and sorry for the title but it well summarize my question.
In fact I applied a completion percentage of 25% on a task with a finish date inferior to the entered status date.
MS Project only modified the Act. work of the task but not its finish date.
Is it a normal behaviour?
Thanks a lot for help
Paul

Paul --
To answer your question, yes, what you are seeing is normal behavior. If you want Microsoft Project 2010 or 2013 to automatically adjust the Finish date based on the Status Date, you will need to do the following:
Click File > Options > Advanced.
In the Calculation Options section of the Advanced page, select the option named Move Start of Remaining Parts Before Status Date Forward to Status Date.
Click the OK button.
If you select this option and enter task progress as you described in your question, Microsoft Project will force a task split, moving the uncompleted part of the task to start immediately after the Status date. In the same Calculation Options section
of the Advanced page of the Project Options dialog, you might also want to select the option named And Move End of Completed Parts Forward to Status Date. With this option selected in addition to the one mentioned in step #2 above, Microsoft Project
will move the completed portion of the task to the Status Date so that you do not see a task split at all.
Whether you use one or both of these options would be entirely up to you, based on what you want to see in the software. Neither is perfect, but I think one or both of these would give you the automatic scheduling that you seek. Hope this helps.

"No administrator found for the task" in the front end

Hi all,
My issue is, whenever approval request is raised from the front end ( JAVA WEB-DYNPRO), it triggers the workflow through the "sap_wapi_start_workflow" and when the workflow proceeds to the first level of approval, the front end application provides the approver with Approve and Reject options.
On click of approve, from the java webdynpro, the approve status is written in the container using "sap_wapi_write_container" and then a call is made to "sap_wapi_workitem_complete". Upon excution, the message line is "No administrator found for the task" and the return code is "1".
But if we do the same steps from the backend (R/3), the workitem is getting completed without any such error.
Please advice.
Thanks.

Hi Balaji,
I think I have an answer for you. This has happened with us when approving a WD java task using UWL (in our case for travel). The key is the return code of 1.
What has happened is this. The return code actually comes from the function SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW which is called deep in the WAPI wrapper. It means "infeasible_state_transition = 1".
This is due to the fact that after updating the container, your wapi call from web dynpro tries to change the workitem from status of "Ready" to status "Completed". This will not work.
What you will have to do is call "SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW" to set the status to 'SELECTED' beofre setting the item to complete.
The reason for this is that when you are executing from R3, the status change is done for you. When calling from the WD, no reservation of the workitem occurs.
Sorry about last night, I live well outside of town and the phone reception at my place is poor.

No Administrator found for the task (solution in FAQ not applicable sadly)

Hi All,
I have had to build a custom work item inbox due to complex client requirements, one of which being that all tasks are declared as "General tasks", so that all users can select and work them.
Work item execution is performed using the function module SWL_WI_DISPATCH (I've also tested using SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM), which sometimes returns the error 'No administrator found for the task'.
I followed the standard instructions for this error message, refreshing the org assignments, transaction SWU_OBUF etc, and this did not help the issue.
The error seems to occur within the function module RH_WI_AGENT_EXECUTE_CHECK, however according to our configuration I can see no reason why users shouldn't be allowed to execute the work item, if the org assignment has been stable for several months, all tasks are generic, and the work item status is READY. There is no rule for determining agent beyond them being "General task"s.
Does anyone have any ideas? According to the data in SWWWIHEAD I can't see any reason why execution should be failing for these work items.
Thanks

Hi there,
almoste there
The new extended eMail notification do allow a feature, which is named "Forward by eMail" (in the general settings of SWNCONFIG). And the result is, that a work item can be executed by another user-id, who is not the actual receiver of the work item.
If you looked at report RSWNWIEX you'll find out that exactly the proposed solution is in use there, having a very usuable example already in place: (check lines 155 and following)
 CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM'
 EXPORTING
 workitem_id = p_wi_id
 IF lv_rc <> 0 AND cl_swn_settings=>wi_forward_via_mail = 'X'.
*- require to put back if WI is selected
 CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_ADM_WORKITEM_BACK'
 CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM'
 EXPORTING
 workitem_id = p_wi_id
 user_id = sy-uname
 COMMIT WORK. "Needs to be done before executing again
 CALL METHOD cl_swf_run_wim_factory=>initialize( ).
 CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM'
That doesn't blast a security hole, as far as I see.
Using the table SWWUSERWI directly is not advisable at that time, I'd say.
Best wishes,
Florin

You have to apply to guys and documents of the company from which you took this info. This is a completely custom set of tasks. You either should read about them in the company's manuals or go through the tasks and underlying methods (and simultaneously through on-line help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60ep1/helpdata/en/62/f7e73ac6e7ec28e10000000a114084/frameset.htm).

Warning: "No terminating events defined for the task used"

Dear all,
I created a task with ABAP class and method as its object method. This task is a background task. The ABAP class inherits the IF_WORKFLOW interface but doesn't implement any method of the interface.
When I try to confirm the task settings in transaction SWDD, a message shows up "No terminating events defined for the task used" and I cannot continue the work. Does anybody have any idea what I should do?
Thanks + Best Regards
Jerome

Hi Jerome,
If you set a background task in your workflow, and if it is asynchronous, then you need some way to tell the template if it is finished and what happened. In this case you set terminating events - that is events which are published in the system as a result of your method (ie document.posted etc).
Either use a synchronous method for your task or set appropriate terminating events in your task setup.

ESS- Leave : You are not one of the possible agent for the task ws9021212?

Hi ,
I have copied the standard workflow template wa12300111 and assigned the new template in the customizing. When i apply leave from ESS working time , it says an error " You are not one of the possible agent for the task ws9021212? " .
The similar kind of Error i have solved before in by making the workflow as GENERAL TASK in PFTC as follows.
PFTC -> Choose "Workflow Template" from the drop down -> Enter the workflow template id "ws9021212" in the text box -> now click on "change" button -> Now goto the menu addional data -> agent assignment -> maintain -> select the task text -> and set it as general task.
i have cleared the buffer also!
BUT STILL I AM GETTING THE ERROR ?
Please help me !
Richard A

hi Richard
Try to do this way. IN the workflow builder there is a button with hat. that is basic data. click on that and it will go to another screen and u can find a apple button that is agent assignment for a task click that.
It will open maintain agent assignment screen. click the text below that and click the attribute button and click the genral task. i think this will solve ur issue.
If helpful kindly reward points

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.

SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE No administrator found for the task

Hi gurus,
I have a problem executing the FM SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE. Everytime i run the FM, it gives the error "No administrator found for the task". But in the Workflow Logs (SWI1), there is an agent and can actually access the workitem on the business workplace of that agent. I just need to run this because the approval is triggered in WebDynpro. I've done the following things to fix it but the error still occurs:
1. Set the decision step as General. (even the standard decision gives the same error)
2. Set the workflow as General.
3. Refresh the Org. Structure thru SWUS
4. Refresh the object buffer thru SWU_OBUF.
5. Log in and out of the system after refreshing buffers
I hope somebody can help me out as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Dexter

Hi Rick,
I've used SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE a couple of times before, here's how i called the FM:
        CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE'
          EXPORTING
          WORKITEM_ID          = wa_wfm_steplog-wi_id   "----
>wi_id of the decision step
          LANGUAGE             = sy-langu
          USER                      = sy-uname
          DECISION_KEY         = ly_decision_key            "-----> 0001
          DO_COMMIT            = 'X'
        IMPORTING
          RETURN_CODE          = l_subrc
     NEW_STATUS           = new_status
        TABLES
          MESSAGE_LINES        = lt_message.
i found out that the error occurs if this FM is not executed by the Agent (approver). But even if i run this FM using a different login and key in the UNAME if the agent, it still gives the error.
Its weird because on my previous company, any user can execute this FM to update ANY decision step.
Hope you can still help me.
Thanks,
Dexter

No Administrator for the TASK

Hi All,
Could you help me to resolve workflow issue. We have a workflow for PO release strategy. The agents are maintained in customized table. Now when I am adding a new agent in that customized table, the workflow is picking up the agent correctly but the he is not able to approve it as it gives the error "No administrator found for the task".
Can somebody help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Hema

Hi Hema,
It might be authorization problem. after displaying this message run transaction /NSU53 and check any authorization are missing. if yes then contact basis team and if message display like 'all authorization checks have so far been successful' then run transaction SWU_OBUF and press synchronize(shift + f1) then try again.
Hope these helps.

I had made the task general, refershed the buffers, refreshed the Org environment, but the problem is still there.
Can any please suggest any way out.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
One more addition to the case. Upon more testing I see that problem is only coming when I try to execute work item created by some other user.
I have tried executing the work-item using SWIA , but with no success.

When I retire an Aset thru AR31 and release I get an Error msg. No administrator found for the task. Msg No 5W141. I did search in this but it is for goods movement. But I face this while retiring an Asset. Is there any one who can giude me to resolve this issue. This is the first retirement after implimentation.

Hello Syamagari
1- Please check in transaction OAWF if the responsible users are   assigned to the workflow tasks
   Menu path: Basic Functions
                 Assign tasks to agent
                    Correct worklist
                    Release worklist
                    Correct and release worklist
2- In addition check if the users are assigned to the workflow-tasks in the basis-component (transaction PFTC).
   Menu path: Task type: TS   - Standard task
              Task     : corresponding task
3.-Also check the minimum customizing for workflow:
     SWU3 => automatic customizing

'No Administrator found for the task' while releasing the task in AR31

Dear Gurus,
i am facing the issue 'No Administrator found for the task' while releasing the task in AR31 while doing Mass Asset change.
Please help to provide the solution.
Many thanks.
Kumar

Dear Kumar,
error 5W141 indicates that the configuration for workflow is not in place fully.
1. SWU3 => Automatic customizing
You find the customizing of the workflow under Basis -> Business
Management -> SAP Business Workflow. There you can check the minimum
customizing for workflow:
2, Please check in transaction OAWF if the responsible users are
    assigned to the workflow tasks
    Menu path: Basic Functions
                 Assign tasks to agent
                    Correct worklist
                    Release worklist
                    Correct and release worklist
3, In addition check if the users are assigned to the workflow-tasks      in the basis-component (transaction
     PFTC).
   Menu path: Task type: TS   - Standard task
       Task     : corresponding task (e.g.8010 - correct worklist
The relevant logic is: if the system finds that the agent or user is defined, it will go straight to T-code SO01. And the user can edit the work list there.
