Cost status report in Project Workspace of Commercial Project Management

Is it possible to view planned cost of Easy Cost Plan version of a PS Project in Project Workspace (Commercial Project Management)? We have installed only Project Work space and not Project Financial Planning.
Is there a possibility to link Easy cost plan to master project in CPM? As we have not installed PFP, we cannot configure ' Define Plan scenarios, plan types, version types' under Project Cost and Revenue Planning in SPRO.

Hi Shanky,
I wouldn't think you would be able to use PowerShell as that is more concerned with administration. However, you could probably use SQL to get at the data - the tables are defined in the SDK - http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=30435

"An unknown error" has occurred in status report in project server 2013

"An unknown error" has occurred in status report in project server 2013

Hi,
It would help if you could provide the ULS logs for this error, even the PWA queue error message. Then has it already been working before?
Hope this helps,

Unable to open Project management reports

Hi,
I tried to access Reports under Project management, I can see some list of reports but whenever i click any report i get this message " Do you want to save this file or find a program online to open it , Name : BExab6f08f3 , type : unknown , from: xxxxxx " . I get this whenever i try to access any reports in project management.
I had checked few things from my side, /BCV/Main is activated, I have BCV_admin role and also CPR_BCV_USER role, but still i am not able to view a single report. I tried accessing from NWBC desktop GUI and web gui, same error. Please guide me in solving this problem.

Hi,
I just have some clarifications, is it necessary to have BI system to access the Reports under Project management / portfolio management?, Or can it be accessed without any BI system?. I found that whenever I run any report under Reports section it tries to execute the RFC SAP_BW, but in my system there is no data available in that RFC, since we dont have BI.please let me know about this.

Project Status Report using CATSPS. Billable/Non-billable Hours?

I am working on a Project Status Report and am using CATSPS table instead of CATSDB table since thatu2019s the cross-application table for PS module. But I am facing a small problem in using CATSPS table. There is no field in CATSPS table that tells me if the hours are billable or non-billable. Table CATSDB had a field u201CBill Typeu201D (Billable/Non-Billable) but I donu2019t see anything like that in CATSPS. If I use CATSDB table and filter out status "30" for only approved hours, I am getting duplicate entries for actual hours in Crystal Report 2008. What is the correct table to be used in this case and also what is the mapping field(s).
Also, looking to display the billing type for the document in VBRP table. I am able to display the document type code but not the description itself. Which table will have this mapping?
Also, in Crystal I have the total Purchased hours at the 3rd level WBS but the total actual hours are coming from the 4th level WBS (Activity level). Each 3rd level WBS can have multiple 4th level WBS (difference networks). How do I know (logic) which 4th level WBS total to pick up and add to which 3rd level WBS total? Also, how do I display the total actual work hours form the 4th level WBS to display at the 3rd level?
Here is an example:
WBS , Level , SKU# , Network# , Activity# ,   Purch. Hours , Act. Bill. Hours , Remaining Hours
EP-2927-AMB-0001 , 3 , 600-310-100000 , N/A , N/A , 100.00 , N/A , 55.00 (=100.00 - (30.00+15.00))
(Purchase Hours from this line) - Total Act. Bill. Hours from level(s) 4 below: A+B)
EP-2927-AMB-00011 , 4 , N/A , 000004008303 , 10 , N/A , 5.00 , N/A
EP-2927-AMB-00011 , 4 , N/A , 000004008303 , 20 , N/A , 6.00 , N/A
EP-2927-AMB-00011 , 4 , N/A , 000004008303 , 30 , N/A , 15.00 , N/A
EP-2927-AMB-00011 , 4 , N/A , 000004008303 , 40 , N/A , 4.00 , N/A
(A)    Total Billable Hours = 30.00 (5.006.0015.00+4.00)
EP-2927-AMB-00012 , 4 , N/A , 000004008304 , 10 , N/A , 6.00 , N/A
EP-2927-AMB-00012 , 4 , N/A , 000004008304 , 20 , N/A , 4.00 , N/A
EP-2927-AMB-00012 , 4 , N/A , 000004008304 , 30 , N/A , 5.00 , N/A
(B)    Total Billable Hours = 15.00 (6.004.005.00)
If you notice there are two level 4 WBS (EP-2927-AMB-00011 & EP-2927-AMB-00012) in this example that are under level 3 WBS (EP-2927-AMB-0001). The Purchased Hours are coming from level 3 which means the hours are assigned per project at the WBS 3 level. Within each project there are different activity levels where actual hours worked by each employee are coming from. I need to sum the actual hours from all the available level 4 WBS and bring them over to the corresponding level 3 WBS in order to calculate the remaining hours. My challenge is how do I know which level 4 WBS belong to which level 3 WBS since there are more than one level 3 WBS in a Project and each level 3 WBS can have multiple level 4 WBS?
Please advise.
Regards.
-Rohit

Hi,
My personal suggestion to you is try to describe problem very crisp and easy to understand so that you will get quick responses. Its very difficult to read and pin point what you are aksing and finally you will miss readers attentions.
As standard practice, hours planned at indiviudal activity level and actual costs posted on each indiviudal activity will roll up and display the aggregate values at corresponding higher WBS element level. At the same time system will let you know reamining hours at indiviudal level and not higher level as rolled up.
Your WBS structuure is bit confusing me, in what way you are encoutring problem in identitying level 3 and level 4 WBS elements. Key will clearly denotes which is level 3 and level 4. As cited by you, EP-2927-AMB-0001 this should be level 3 and EP-2927-AMB-00011 is level 4. I am sorry to say that structure key was not maintained proper way and bit confusing.

Project Status Report in MS Power Point

Hi Experts!
I am very new to Project Systems. Our requirement is to create a Project Status Report. This report should be generated in MS Power Point which should be editable.
Do we have any standard reports or test reports for the same? Can someone give some pointers for the same? Your help is highly appreciable.
Thanks a lot.

Try convincing your client saying that this is absolutely not possible in standard SAP. However also let the client know about other alternative stating that standard SAP reports can be downloaded to Excel which then can be used as a reference to create a power point presentation. This, though, can be done manually only.

Gantt Chart in Project Status Report

Hi Folks,
We are doing a custom development and creating our own Project Status Report PDF form. Is there a way (standard FM or otherwise) to generate a Gantt chart and show it on the PDF form.
The Gantt chart itself is not of the whole project structure. It is only the phases. Most projects will have 4-5 phases maximum. The Gantt chart also does not need to be too sophisticated, we just need a high level graphical representation of the phase timelines.
Let me know if my question is not clear and I can elaborate.
Thanks
Lashan

Hello Lashan,
Building the Gantt chart in a PDF report is quite tricky. The Gantt chart view you see in cProjects is a different SAP component, JGantt (developed in Java), which is connected to the system.
Adobe forms don't have a standard Gantt element, so you'll have to render it somewhere else and send it to the form in a binary format.
For creating and rendering the graphic you can use the SAP IGS (Internet Graphics Service).
You can find some details here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/17/86c039c7811f11e10000000a114084/content.htm
This is a little bit more complicated, you also need to use iXML libraries to transform all the Gantt data into the IGS required format.
The end result will not really look like the Gantt view, but it will contain all necessary information:
Is this the kind of graphic you need to develop?
Cheers,
Tudor

PR status Report aganist dispatched /pending material aganist Project

Hi All,
Is there any Standred Report on PR status Report for dispatch / pending material aganist a project
if not what is the other option of getting it
Regards,
Rajashekhar B.S

Hi,
It is not necessary that all the material assigned in Project will be delivered, some may be consumed during preparation of finished good/final product. CN52N will tell you about goods issue also but again all goods issue cant be delivery.
Hence possibility of standard report adressing your requirement is ruled out.

Hello,
is there any error text given by cProjects?
Have you had a look on the ADS side's logfiles?
Are you using the right credentials?
Maybe this could be a good point to start. Otherwise your description is not detailed enough to go on...

Project Status Report - cProjects 4.0 - Run time error

Under Basic Settings, I go to 'Forms for Printing and for Project Status Reports'. Here, under 'Create PDF-Based Forms', I select the form 'DPR_STATUS_REPORT_AIF' and Activate it. I then get to 'Activate Forms per project type'.I get to 'New Entries' and add 'DPR_STATUS_REPORT_AIF' and also set the 'Active' and 'Status Rpt' checked.
When I get to cProjects front end, I see the 'Project Status Report' template under the 'Status Report' tab. However, when I click on the 'Preview' button, I get to see a dump.
"The following error text was processed in the system SRP : WebDynpro Exception: SOAP Framework error: SOAP Runtime Exception: CSoapExceptionTransport : HTTP send returned with status code(100.101)"
Can someone please suggest how to get something useful at the click of the preview button?
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes your basis team should tell you more about this. ADS Credential needs to be installed on the java stack of your cProjects Server. For this you will have to send a message to SAP requesting for the ADS Credential. You will then receive a credential file with its password.
However not all servers support ADS. There is a list of server names that support ADS. You can get the server name on which cProjects is installed from your basis team and I shall let you know if it is supported or not. You can also have a look at in the PAM (Product availability Matrix) for SAP NetWeaver 2004s - Additional Components at http://service.sap.com/pam

Project Status Report - cProjects 4.0

Hi all,
I am using cProjects 4.0.
After selecting the PDF Print form DPR_STATUS_REPORT_AIF for the project type and marking 'Active' and 'Status' report checkboxes, when I go to create Status reports, I can see the template "Project Status Report". However, when I click on the "Preview" button, I get a runtime error saying
"The following error text was processed in the system DRP : WebDynpro Exception: SOAP Framework error: SOAP Runtime Exception: CSoapExceptionTransport : HTTP server replied with status code 500(100.101). "
Can someone suggest please?

Hi,
Are you able to open any other pdf forms in cProjects. for eg. approval document?
I guess you need to get the exact location of error.
After the system gives a dump, run transaction ST22 and get the program/function name where the error is actaully occuring.

'Project Status Report' activation in cProjects

Hi,
I was trying to configure the Status Reports in cProjects. I have completed creation of the form (chose DPR_PROJECT), activated the templates for the relevant Project type and also implemented the Badi with the correct form name. I am still unable to see any template dropdown in the application (cProjects). The DPR_Project template should appear in the same for me to create the Status Report. Please advice.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi Sachin ,
I think, it may be a ADS installation issue.
The configuration of ADS server is somehow not very easy, as I saw so many installations problems with status report in cProj. 4.0.
Would you please check the following notes:
900310 & 992492 .
And the following reports may be helpful to check the setting:
FP_PDF_TEST_00 (returns version number of ADS)
FP_TEST_00 (creates a test PDF)
FP_EXAMPLE_01 (creates a test PDF using SFLIGHT data)
FP_TEST_IA_01 (creates an interactive PDF that can be signed via certificate)
FP_PDF_TEST_12 (returns signatures of a signed PDF  requires secure (SSL) ADS connection  ADS_HTTPS)
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Which tables to use for Project Status Report in CR2008 accessing R/3 data?

I am working on a Project Status Report on a WBS in Crystal Report 2008 that is accessing data from a R/3 system level that will provide me the following fields:
1) Purchased Hours
2) Billed Hours
3) Non-Billed Hours
4) Credit Memo
5) Remaining Hours
The report will be displayed at the WBS level (grouped at WBS level) but will also list the different activities under each WBS.
Can anyone help me identify which tables and fields I need to be working with? This is how the report will look like:
CustID ProjectID PlantID WBS# Activity# PurchasedHours BilledHours Non-BilledHours CreditMemos RemainingHours
Please help.
Regards.

Cannot load project status report in cprojects on portal

Hi,
I have checked all the FP_* adobe test programs and my ADS is working fine. I did test my form in ECC transaction code sfp and the form loads properly.
But, when I try to load the project status report(same form) through portal (cprojects)it is giving me connection timeout error.
Could somebody guide me?
Thanks.

Hello,
there can be several reasons why the Statusreport does not come up
a) ACF component is not installed correctly
Check as described in note [766191|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/766191] if the ACF is installed correctly
b) ADS is not set up correctly
Check as described in note [944221|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/944221] if the ADS is installed correctly
c) cProjects config for the status reports is not set up correctly
Check as described in note [978997|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/978997] if your system is set up according to the configuration guide
Best Regards, Andrea
