CProjects Phase Workflow

I am currently triggering a phase approval workflow when 'Begin Approval' is selected using Object Type BUS2173, Event FORAPPROVAL and BSVX entry DX4/BUS2173/FORAPPROVAL with the status restriction I1706.
This works fine. However, there are several actions within the event 'For Approval' that I would like to differentiate bewteen within the workflow:
- email sent to project manager everytime a decision maker grants or rejects individual approval
- email sent to project manager once all decision makers have made decision
- email sent to project team when phase is rejected/approved
Does anyone know how this could be achieved?
Many thanks in advance.

Can I raise cProject Task event from cProject Phase workflow?

Hi,
I need modify release logic of the cProject's task. I am developing the phase release workflow. In this workflow I want to trigger workflow to sequential release every tasks that belong this phase. I developed a Z method of BUS2173 (Phase) and call the BAPI_BUS2173_GET_TREE, then I got Task_IDs of all of the tasks, but I do not know how to get the TASK BOR reference with these TASK_IDs.
Can I get TASK BOR reference and raise its event from a method of the PHASE BOR ?
Thanks.
Arrow Yang.

Hi Barry,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to save and close the initial form when you approve/reject the task.
For a workaround, you can take steps as below:
1.Open your site using SharePoint Designer, go to Workflows, click the approval workflow.
2.On the workflow property screen, there is a Forms area should have an InfoPath form named Approval.xsn. You can click the link to open the form in InfoPath.
3.Customize the task form for displaying and editing the initial form value.
4.Customize the “Approve” button rule for setting the form value.

Slow cProjects phase extractors

We extract attribute and text deltas for projects, phases, tasks, etc. from cProjects every night. The project and task extractors run very quickly (less than one minute) but the phase extractors run for 45 minutes or more.
The phase attributes DataSource is called 0DPR_PHASE_ATTR and the text DataSource is 0DPR_PHASE_TEXT. Project and task DataSources are named similarly.
I traced the phase text extractor with our Oracle DBA and he concluded that the SQL statements being executed are not that bad, but the problem seems to be that they are executed over and over.
When I looked at the extractor code I noticed that the phases are SELECTed inside a LOOP on projects, so that fits with what the trace showed. For reference, the extract logic is performed inside class CL_DPR_EXTRACT_TEXT method READ_PHASE_TEXT.
I found SAP note <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/993786">993786</a> that sort-of dances around this issue, but rather than provide a fix it just puts pseudo-comments in the code to prevent the SELECT inside of a LOOP from being reported as an error in the Code Inspector.
Theoretically, I'd think the task extractors should be even worse, since they have to take both projects and phases into account, but oddly they have great performance. Their extractor also does a SELECT inside of a LOOP but the duration is much shorter for each SELECT.
We're running cProjects 3.0 on AIX/Oracle.
Here's the execution plan from the trace:
SELECT STATEMENT ( Estimated Costs = 161 , Estimated #Rows = 90 )
5 8 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID CGPL_TEXT
5 7 NESTED LOOPS
 ( Estim. Costs = 161 , Estim. #Rows = 90 )
5 5 NESTED LOOPS
 ( Estim. Costs = 134 , Estim. #Rows = 90 )
5 2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID CGPL_PROJECT
 ( Estim. Costs = 116 , Estim. #Rows = 90 )
1 INDEX RANGE SCAN CGPL_PROJECT~0
 ( Estim. Costs = 92 , Estim. #Rows = 18,069 )
 Search Columns: 1
5 4 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID CGPL_HIERARCHY
3 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN CGPL_HIERARCHY~0
 ( Estim. Costs = 1 , Estim. #Rows = 1 )
 Search Columns: 2
6 INDEX RANGE SCAN CGPL_TEXT~0
 ( Estim. Costs = 2 , Estim. #Rows = 1 )
 Search Columns: 2
Any ideas?

An index on table 0CGPL_HIERARCHY on fields CLIENT, UP, and TASK_LEVEL worked like magic. The two cProjects phase extractors now run in less than 20 seconds, where they were consistently running for about 75 minutes. The cProjects hierarchy extractor also runs in significantly less time.

CProject Phase - Account assignment element

Hi All,
I am able to assign account assignment element for CProject phase manually.
I want to do it through program,
Could you please provide me the BAPI/FM to assign an account assignment element for each phase in XRPM .
I am assigning WBS as account assignment element.
Thanks and Regards,
Ashok Kumar

If cost has been posted onto the subject WBS then the account assignment element cannot be unchecked i.e. it remains greyed out. You wont be able to change it even via CNMASS. The only option left could be to cancel the transactions that led to the cost assignment (please note a reversal means another transaction that only reverses the effect but does not remove the line items altogether, therefore a reversal does not remove the AA indicator).
Also note that the cost can be both actual or statistical in nature. Even settlement from lower level WBS to higher level WBS leads to greying of the indicator.

Ammar

Cprojects and workflow

Hi everybody,
I am working in workflow (Cproject module),
Standard business object events are not triggered,
ex: BUS2172 for project - created event is not triggered.when i create a project this created event is not triggered.
I dont know why the standard events not triggered,
I think any configuration is required, can any one help me?

Hi Camilo,
The workflow which you find in standard is e.g. TS 28700002 (Task Released). But this is send immediately when the task is released, not 2 or 3 days before it is due.
Alternatively you could use threshold values and alerting (see evaluations in cProjects). Or last not least a customer-specific program. But the two other possibiliies seem easier for me.
Best regards

CProjects Phase not replicating in PS (PPM5.0 Accouting integration)

Hi,
We are on PPM5.0.
Coding masks in PS restric us to use the Project and Phase IDs (in cProjects) according to the PS naming convention.
Having named the phase ID in accordance to the PS level 2 ID, when I "Flag for transfer", I get accounting errors in the cockpit. Acordingly the Phase WBS element is not created.
Even when I have named the phase ID as ABC.123 (for e,g,), the cockpit still gives the error with the standard Phase ID.
It says, WBS element with ID 1900000.....2011 could not be created.
What could be wrong?
Thanks.

Issue resolved. The problem was mandatory fields marked in the PS Profile. We relaxed these fields and were able to resolve the issue.

CProjects Phase Approval : Approval Document does not exist

Hello,
I am trying to approve a phase in cProjects 4.0 (WD ABAP Based).
When I goto Approval Tab --> Approval Document, it displays:
Approval Document does not exist
I have checked the configuration and everything looks correct.
For Project Type I have activated the Form DPR_APPROVAL_HIER
The ADS is configured properly.
I also checked Note 874054 - You cannot start approval w/o approval document, and the config is as per this note.
What else can be likely reasons for this problem.
Any help is appreciated.

CProjects-Phase Approval

What is the role relevant for Decision Maker while phase approval. I have seen all the role, but none of them seems to be relevant for decision maker by name. Which role I have to select, if that role has to come in "Decision Maker" in front end for selection. I have done role creation in PFCG, but the same is not coming in front end. what role i have to assign, for them to come in front end. Please suggest me.

Hi Visvesh,
you need to create a project role and staff it ( Tab Resources ). The project roles are then available in the decision maker dropdown.

Hi
Goto Resources tab
in resources,
goto staffing
staff the resource for the role selected by adding BP and clickin staff.
now u can goto phase Approval tab
add decision maker>
select project role where u have staffed resource,
select from drop down
click on transfer and you are done.
Now with that decision maker's user name, you can goto Approvals where you can approve the phase.

CProjects Phases Query

Hi All,
Just to check if cProjects supports a practical lifecycle model where one is allowed to work on multiple phases at the same time. In other words, is it possible to configure the phases in such a way that it is not necessary to complete a predecessor phase before you can actually start working on the other.
And is it also possible for phase types that need approval ?
do let me know what kind of configuration needs to be done if you need to work on multiple phases (and tasks underneath) without completing the previous ones.
Thanks and kind regards

Hi,
Working on multiple phases at a given instant of time is possible in cProjects. All you need to do is to 'Release' the phases. You can go through the following links for more information related to this:

Unkown SSF Profile -cprojects Phase approval

Hi All,
When Try to Grant approval for phase error "Unkown SSF Profile" is thrown.
help me in solving the above error.
Thanks In advance.
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
in such a case I propose to open an OSS call with open R/3 and HTTP connection. So the support team can have a look at this issue.
You should have a look at ConfigGuide 7.1.13 Settings for Approval.
service.sap.com/instguides -> Installation and Upgrade Guides -> mySAP Business Suite Solutions -> mySAP PLM
See here settings for approvals!

CProjects 3.1: Project phase can be approved without individual approval

Hi Guys,
My requirement is to prevent cProjects phase from being approved if all of the individual approvers have not given their decisions.
I've tried using the customising for phase types to achieve this. Under the setting "Granting of App. with Rejected Individual Approval Allowed" I have specified "Granting not allowed". With this setting, the system will prevent approval if one of the approvers have rejected which is fine. However, if the approvers have not provided their decisions yet, the project manager can still approve the phase.
The following extract from the IMG help says that this setting should prevent approval if individuals have not given their aproval yet, in addition to checking for rejected.
"Under Grant with Rejected Individual Approval whether the approval of a phase can be granted even if all of the approval decision makers have not yet approved the approval. However, even in this case it is necessary that each decision maker has reached a decision."
Appreciate any help on this.
Cheers,
Lashan

I've logged an OSS for this. Will update this thread on the outcome.

CProjects 5.0 and ADS - Netweaver 702 how to install?

Hello,
We have to install cProjects and ADS in the same machine. After reading the master guide, I think I need to install a Netweaver 7 EHP2 Abap+Java.
I have downloaded the DVD 51040135_13, but sapinst doesn't have an option to install a dual ABAP+JAVA, only abap and only java.
However, the installation guide ppage has installation guides for abap, for Java and for abapjava, so I don't understand. Besides note number 1387319, says that it is possible AS ABAP, AS Java and AS (ABAPJava)
Do you have any idea? I need the cProjects and ADS in the same server.
Thanks and best regards,
Ana.

Hi,
Whether it is duel or independent, ADS is installed in the java stack. Check the link below.
