Function module for Staffing in cProjects

Hi,
Can anybody let me know which is the function module which gets called during "Staffing" from cProjects. Resource search functionality will be made use to staff the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Sujay G

Hi
As Vivek mentioned above, the BUS2177 should be the correction, especially the function module BAPI_BUS2177_STAFFING_ADD . For the template BUS2178.
Actually the cl_dpr_bupa_lins method add is the core method, which is called both by application or the Bapi method above.
Kind regards,

CProjects Resource staffing problem

Hi Everybody,
                      Right now we are facing a problem while staffing a resource for a role created. I am getting a error saying "Enter a valid business partner" and "Message was caused by reference object 'Business Partner Link'". What exactly i need to do get rid of the problem. I was trying to create a new resource there in cProjects, even that create resouce area become disabled. What is the solution for this ??
Thanks,
Rajesh.

Hi Sunil,
             I have created the Business Partner in transaction code BP. After that i was trying to add that resource in staffing. Previously i created the candidate directly in cProjects UI instead of creating a Business Partner in transaction BP. At that time i was able to staff the resource, but afterwards that create candidate is also not working. One more thing after creating a business partner in BP, how to link the business partner to a User and Employee. I am not able to get the link in ECC system. But while creating the candidate i have the option of linking the BP with user as well. I am totally confused with all these things.
           And one more after giving the Business Partner number in the staffing search i am able to see the resource name next to the text box. But while assigning i am getting error message saying "Enter a valid Business Partner". I dont understand what is "valid".
Thanks,
Rajesh.

CProjects - Resources Staffing Mass update with distribution

We are doing staffing for resources with distribution in cprojects
There are certain support projects where the Manager has to
- extend the End dates of resources
- Add distribution hours for the extended period (8 hours each day)
One of these projects has 150 resources allocated
So, it is a huge task to update each resource and the distribution hours manually.
Is there any easier way to do this mass update
Any standard routine or an FM available to do these steps, or can we write a custom routine to do this
Any help, document is welcome
rohit

Dear Rohit,
What exactly is 'Distribution Hours'? If it is the 'Required Capacity' field then you can change it through the FM. The required field for it is in the structure IS_STAFFINGLINK in the FM.
Please check and confirm.

Debaranjan Hazarika.

CProjects 3.1 - 'Messages' text box in Staffing Process tab

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me the relevance of the 'Messages' textbox in the 'Staffing Process' tab of cProjects 3.1? We are planning to use it, but are not getting any function module/ table logic to read the text stored in it.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Vivek Pandey

Awesome!
You're the best....this is something they should heavily
promote for this version. This has caused our company probably more
headaches this past year than any other piece of software because
of that. The rest of the group is switching to 3.0 later this week,
so they'll be happy about this.
THANK YOU!

CProjects 4.0 : Correct resource search and incorrect staffing

Hello to all SAP community!
I am using resource search by qualification in cProjects. The search itself is OK, but when I am trying to staff the project role from resources found, the role is staffed by N.N.1 resource, not that one that I have chosen.
Does anybody know what is the reason of such collision?

Hi Kiryl,
I have heard this behaviour recently, there should be a note for it. Would you please search the notes using the the key words. You can also post hotpackage stand of your system, I will then search it.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

CProjects - RPA - staffing resource within 1 Org. Unit only

Hi Experts,
We're implementing cProjects with combination planning - staffing with cProjects and RPA (WFM).
In project role type's setting, I choose: 'Staffed by: Resource Manager via Responsible Organization' with expectation that the resp. Staffing Manager within the stated Organization only able to staff resource within the same Organization.
(Staffing Manager from Org. Unit 1001 only able to staff Resource within Organization Unit 1001).
But, apparently it does not work like that. The Staffing Manager can staff all resources from all Org. Unit - as long as the resources have Service Arrangement.
Any one can help me pointing where I go wrong with the customization?
thank you & regards
Bernadette

Hi,
When you search the resources, put the Org unit as the search criterion along with that of Qualification. This will yield only those resources who are from the specified Org unit.

"Staffing" tab is not visible in cProjects

Dear all
I'm not able to see "Staffing" tab when i go to cProjects and go to "Resources".
Could anybody tell me what could be the reason.
Thanks
Ashish K

Hi Ashish,
The only thing I can think of is that this tab is "hidden".
If this is indeed the case, right click on your front page under any of the pages of the "resources" tab.
Having done this, get to "User Settings > Invisible Elements". When you click this, you should be prompted to "Restore Staffing tab".
Clicking on this will get you your "staffing" tab back!! All the best!

Adding Staffing to a cProject

Hi All,
My requirement is such that after a cproject gets created, a user should automatically get assigned to the project manager role in the resources\staffing tab.
I tried to find out what BAPI can add staffing & found out BAPI_BUS2177_STAFFING_ADD.
However I am unable to figure out how to use this BAPI.
1) Where can I get the project role guid??
2) Where can I get the BP guid??
3) Just passing the project role & user, does this BAPI staffs the user to the role??
Helpfull answers will be rewarded points.

Hi Sonali,
There is no specific Guide for the Roles, you can note the following roles which are the composite roles offered by SAP (please refer cProjects 4.00 Configuration Guide - Page 21).
● SAP_CPR_DECISION_MAKER
● SAP_CPR_INTERESTED
● SAP_CPR_MEMBER
● SAP_CPR_PROJECT_LEAD
● SAP_CPR_TEMPLATE_RESPONSIBLE
● SAP_CPR_RESOURCE_MANAGER
The composite roles contain several single roles. SAP supplies the following single roles for
cProjects as standard:
● SAP_CPR_PROJECT_ADMINISTRATOR
● SAP_CPR_TEMPLATE_ADMINISTRATOR
● SAP_CPR_USER
For BP you can refer SAP Help link..
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_tm60/helpdata/en/7a/c50b6a0edc4cb686e0a1585d5116ee/frameset.htm
Please confirm whether the cProjects creator happens to be the cProjects administrator in your scenario, so that can answer your query further.

Nishit
Points welcome on useful information.

Role is not staffed fully in CProjects

Hello,
Have you ever encountered this situation:
My role demand is 12.
My resource's availability is 14.
If I staff my role with the resource, Cprojects books my resouce up to 11.90.
For some other roles it works fine.
Any reason behind this?
I took a look at sapnote 1145707, which talks about a rounding error, but the support package that corrects the rounding issue is already implemented in my system.
Thanks.

Roles by transaction searches for roles in the menu, not roles in S_TCODE.
Use Roles by authorization values, enter S_TCODE object and the tcode in the field if you want to search for tcodes in S_TCODE.

Fields for creation of BP in cProjects front-end are read-only

Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner in SAP-Development/Customizing so I hope this question isn't too easy
I can't create a Business Partner using the cProjects front-end (Ressources > Staffing) because the necessary fields and buttons are read-only... (> web-Dynpro Component: DPR_ROL_STAFF; View-Info: VI_SEARCH_CREATE)
I'm using CPRXRPM 450_700 patch 0006
The field-control is standard-SAP (0SAP).
My user-account has all cProject-roles + SAP-ALL
I assume i can change the behaviour of these fields in the Field Control but I can't identify which is the corresponding Object Category to apply the changes.
- Is there a documentation which field belongs to which Object Category in Field Control?
- Or can somebody tell me a procedure to find it out on my own?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
generally it is recommended to use transaction BP or ALE distribution to get the business partner be created.
If you would like to create the BP in web UI directly, the user must have the Structural Authorization, see customizing path:
Collaboration Projects -> Resource Management -> Organizational Management.
It is very HR related topic, you may contact a HR consultant to know more details about it.
Kind regard,

Staffing changes and how to handle within the middle of a project

Hello,
Our users have this issue. They have a project set up that is partially complete. Let's say the project lasts three years and we have finished half of the project. We have a resource staffed to a role that has been listed as the responsible person for a number of tasks. The role also has tasks assigned to it. This person isn't responsible for all of the tasks assigned to this role, just a subset. We are half way through the project so some of the tasks are completed.
This person moves to a new team. I want to ensure they don't see the tasks for this particular role anymore, but want to keep the information that they were responsible for some completed tasks prior to moving to a new team.
So far the only we we have to do this is to go through all completed tasks for which they were the responsible person, reset complete, delete responsible person, and mark complete. This is so we can delete the staffing assignment since this person has moved to a different team.
Is there any way to show that they were assigned to the role for half of the project, leave the completed tasks alone, but keep the user from seeing future work for his/her old team on the task dashboard? We are losing the history of what this person worked on because it is more important to ensure they see an accurate picture of their current and future work assignments.
I tried putting start and end date values for the staffing assignment, but I still see the future tasks on my task dashboard even though my end date has passed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Wendy Miller

Hi Wendy,
I'm afraid that currently it's simply not possible to achieve this. For one of the essential features of the dashboard is to show the tasks where you are responsible, so by defintion all of those tasks will be shown. The notion of "changing teams" is not known in cProjects and thus it's not modelled in cProjects. However, a possible workaround could be through authorizations (either by user-groups or org)
In order to track the work, the time recorded with CATS could used of course...
Other than that, I currently see only some development at your side as possibility to get this done. As far as I understood, this would require some interference in the logic of the task-dashboard, and the creation of customer tables where the history would be stored...
Best regards,
Thomas

Resource planning in cprojects with xRPM or MRS?

Dear Experts,
To my understanding there are four options to perform resource planning in combination with cprojects:
1.     Do a planning in cprojects only
2.     Use resource planning application (RPA) from SAP CRM
3.     Schedule resources with xRPM
4.     Schedule resources with SAP MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling)
I have a couple of questions:
(a) Is it correct that I cannot assign resources to project roles in xRPM based on qualification matching? Is it right that xRPM is used rather for a long-term view to define the available capacity of projects/roles than assigning specific resources to roles?
(b) How can help SAP MRS in comparison to option 1 (planning in cprojects)? I assume that I can do also in cprojects itself a qualification matching. MRS provides a more detailed qualification object to cover complex requirements, right? What else provides MRS what cannot be managed in cprojects itself?
(c ) If we want to use a staffing process were project lead and resource manager doing the staffing and have the option to suggest or reject roles, we have the option to use xRPM or MRS, right? What are the differences? In MRS we have options like using several resource managers, softbooking/hardbooking or itu2019s possible to define the workflow who proposes resources and who is doing the final staffing (project lead or staffing manager), reasons for rejections can be configured etc. Are these options in xRPM available as well?
Thanks,
Angie

Hi Angie,
I have not implemented MRS or RPA so can only answer your first question. You cannot do a resource search via qualification in Portfolio Management (aka xRPM), typically you would do this in Project Management (aka cProjects) and this functionality works fine provided you have maintained qualification data for BP's and roles. Portfolio Management financial planning function can be used for a long term view as you have mentioned. However, it is also typically used to summarize and/or roll up resource demand / assignment to a bucket or portfolio level or summarize resources for multiple projects via initiatives or collections. You can also use a top down approach and at a high level plan values at the bucket level (i.e. forecasted demand or business case demand) and compare against detailed planned / assigned demand rolled up from project management.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Lashan
