DFM Setup - Project Phase to Item Decision Point

Hi Folks,
I am trying to setup a one way status sync from Project Phase to Item DP (i.e. status is only managed in cProjects and should sync to Item DP).
I have done the following config.
1. Defined Portfolio Item Types and mapped Item DP to Template Phases
2. Maintained Phase to DFM business transaction in IMG Map Project / Initiative Business Transaction to DFM Business Transaction
3. Maintained DFM to Item DP mapping in IMG Map DFM Business Transaction to Portfolio Management Status
4. Under IMG Map Business Transactions for Synchronization I added a couple additional business transactions that I needed for Source PPCP and Target PPODP.
Examples entries of the above config for are as follows. This is to change the mapped DP status to 'For Approval' when clicking "Begin Approval" in cProjects phase
Map Project / Initiative Business Transaction to DFM Business Transaction
Source Grouping - PPCP Project Phase
Target Grouping - PPODP Portfolio Item Decision Point
Source Bus Transacction - DX11 Begin Approval of Phase
DFM Bus Transaction - IX05 Set 'To Be Approved'
Map DFM Business Transaction to Portfolio Management Status
Target Grouping - PPODP Portfolio Item Decision Point
Source Grouping - PPCP Phase (Project Management)
DFM Bus Transaction - IX05 Set 'To Be Approved'
Portf Mgmt Status - Z0006 For Approval (custom status that I created for Item DP)
With the above config when I begin the approval in cProjects, the mapped item DP is not updated. I have ensure that the next status of the DP is configured accordingly.
Appreciate any ideas on how to get this working.
Thanks,
Lashan

It looks like the issue is because when "beginning approval" cProjects status is "For Approval - Released",which means 2 status are active and the DFM business transaction does not trigger.
Wondering if anybody has the issue where cProjects has 2 active status and the subsequent statuses does not trigger DFM transaction.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks

Initiative Item Decision Point

Hi PPM Guru,
Is any way can we use Decision points on Initiative or Item approval process either similar to cProject Phase approval process or regardless of Decision point status management process?
Thank You.
Regards, Diana

Hi Diana,
Yes. You can approve (change the status) a Decision Point, similar to the Phase approval process. This can be done by DFM - Decision Flow Management. Once this is switched on for 'Status Synchronization' , each and every status change in the Phase can in turn trigger the corresponding status change in the Decision Point.

Mapping of item decision points to PS Network/WBS

Hi,
In PPM 5.0, one of the new features introduced is the mapping of decision points to a PS Network or WBS element. In the configuration map item template to PS, we have the option of choosing the item type and a project definition. The first question that arise is, what are the pre-requisites. I press new entries, enter the item type. In the F1 for PS project it says to enter the field PSPR from the table PROJ. The project system module is in a different system. I have created the RFC destination for the system and in the definition of object links, I have mapped that system for both account assignment WBS element and Network. But the system is unable to fetch the project system project for mapping. Could someone explain the procedure for doing this, as it is not clear from the IMG help?
Regards,
swami

I checked the configuration guide.
In the IMG
Portfolio Independent settings -> Item template to PS project, under sub menu
Item template to PS project
Create new entries
Item template ID (chosen item template)
Object type : By default it shows 0INMPSPD
As per the configuration guide, "You must determine the SAP ERP system to be used for integration into PS by choosing an entry in the object type column". I do not see an appropriate entry for sAP ERP system even though I have created the logical system and RFC destination for the SAP ERP system in which PS resides.
Could some one help me out by guiding how to get the above setting done?
Regards,
Swami

VS 2010 Pro "Other Project Types" / "Setup and Deployment": No items found

Hello,
I have VS 2010 Pro Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1 Rel. I have developed a VB.Net application and would like to deploy it. When I try to add a setup project to the solution, I get "No items found" where a list of project types should be in the "Add New Project"
dialog, "Installed Templates", "Other Project Types", "Setup and Deployment". Shouldn't the Pro version have those templates installed? If so, can I copy them from somewhere? I noticed that "Database" and "Test Projects" also have empty lists. There are lots
of templates available for the various languages.
I tried to modify the VS 2010 installation by adding support for SharePoint, but that did not help. Do I have to uninstall, reboot, and re-install? It's so cumbersome considering that I would need to redo the updates as well.
OS is Win 7 Pro, processor is Intel E8400.
Thanks!

Hi robertrackl,
Thanks for your post.
The Setup Project template is located in: Installed Templates >> Other Project Types >> Setup and Deployment >> Visual Studio Installer. Would you please check if the templates exists in this path?
If not, you can follow the steps below to reset your Visual Studio templates:
Please open Windows Explorer, and navigate to <Visual Studio Installation Path>\Common7\IDE
(by default is C:\Program Files \Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE);
Delete the ItemTemplatesCache, ProjectTemplatesCache
folder;
Open Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010) under Start menu -> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 -> Visual Studio Tools (run it with Administrator privilege: right-click the program -> Run as administrator);
Run the devenv /InstallVSTemplates switch;
Run the devenv /Setup switch.
If you have any concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Item search based on decision point status

hi,
i am trying add items to a review. i want to add only those items which are in a particular status of a decision point. Currently, i could not find any option in Add-> search when i am in review screen. Can there be any configuration through which i can get this or is this going to be a development.
Pls suggest.

I don't think there is any configuration to achieve this. Alternatively you can create a custom search help and configure it.

Regarding Decision Point

Hi All,
We have a tab called 'Phases and Decisions' in an item screen. There a table is getting displayed with decision point name, ID, Status and few more fields. I need to find out the corresponding webdynpro for that screen. When i right click and click on more field help, it is giving the component name as SALV_WD_TABLE. But this component can be used for any ALV, now i need to know how the data is getting populated into these fields and possibly how the screen is getting generated. Can anyone help me?
Many Thanks,
Haritha

Hello Haritha,
There is generic WD component for all Dashboards,which is identified by the context and the object type. For 'Phase and Decision Point' Dashboard Object Type is PDP and the Parent Object can be RIH (Item) or IPO (Initiative). The WD Component for the same is /RPM/UI_DASHBOARD.

Is it possible to autocreate requisition from Projects for inventory items

Is it possible to autocreate requisition from Projects for inventory items with destination type of inventory in a non-manufacturing organization?Also how ti budget for inventory items based on actual cost i.e. FIFO cost?
Zeeshan

Hi Dina,
Hope you are fine and enjoyed the weekend.
Thanks for your help, yes there was an error in the Material Transactions form, i have corrected and PA_TRANSACTIONS interface got updated. I issued the stock to Project and there was'nt any transaction transferred to Projects.
I just want to confirm one more thing, we are using FIFO costing method, if i procure same item for 2 different projects like Qty 1 with Rate 10 for Project 123 on 1st Jan 2010 and then i receive same item Qty 1 Rate 20 for Project 124 on 10 Jan 2010. Then everything will be transferred to Projects and Projects Expediture will be updated with the receiving Transactions.
Now what if, the stock is being issued in the reverse order than it was received. Like I enter Miscellaneous issue for Project 124 first, then as per FIFO rules system will pick Issue rate of 10 because it was received first......Due to this, dont you think its wrong from the system's point of view. Infact it should pick issue rate of 20 because it was received at 20.....
One more thing, While doing Miscellaneous Transaction with Projects enabled, do the Locator Project Number and Source Project Number needs to be same. If No then whats the control that stock received for one project should be issued against that project only.
Your thoughts on this scenario.

A Standard RRB report that shows actual project cost line items .... ?

A Standard RRB report that shows actual project cost line items but that also shows amount/qty by rejected, billed, to be billed, postponed?
I'm looking for something that will allow project managers to reconciile with the RRB totals and be able to dril in a see a level detail not available in RRB to decide what should be billed, what should should be deferred (postponed) and what should be rejected out of hand.
Thanks.

Thanks Virendra Pal but the VAx5 reports are not really the answer - maybe a custom report will be required right enough.

Decision Point change status

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to develop a report to modify the status of a decision point.
I have tried to use the standard function /RPM/DECISION_POINT_MODIFY and I've tried the method set_attributes of the standard class CL_RPM_DECISION.
In both cases, the return code is OK and apparently the status changed (looking the variables in debug mode) but once the report ends, the old status remains in the database (table /RMP/DECISION).
I paste the both ABAP code through I'm trying to change the DP status.
Please, could you tell me if I missed something or if there is something wrong?
thanks a lot.
Aupa.
ABAP Code:
When I'm calling the function /RPM/DECISION_POINT_MODIFY , I do:
ls_context-object_guid = wa_decision-guid.
ls_context-portfolio_guid = lv_porf_guid.
ls_context-parent_guid = wa_decision-guid.
CALL FUNCTION '/RPM/DECISION_POINT_MODIFY'
    EXPORTING
      is_context     = ls_context
      iv_language    = lv_lang
      iv_change_mode = lv_chg_mode
      it_comments    = it_item_desc_comments
    IMPORTING
      ev_rc          = lv_rc
    TABLES
      it_attributes = it_item_desc_attr_ins
      et_msg         = lt_msg.
and when I've tried to use the standard class, I do:
DATA:   lr_decision     TYPE REF TO cl_rpm_decision,
          ls_attributes   TYPE rpm_ts_decision_int,
          ls_decision_int TYPE rpm_ts_decision_int,
          lv_rc           TYPE i.
DATA: lr_object_manager TYPE REF TO cl_rpm_obj_manager,
        lr_common         TYPE REF TO if_rpm_common.
lr_object_manager = cl_rpm_obj_manager=>get_instance( ).
CALL METHOD lr_object_manager->get_appl_object
    EXPORTING
      iv_project_guid = i_item_guid
      iv_appl_obj_id   = i_decision_id
    iv_appl_obj_guid = i_decision_guid
      iv_appl_obj_ot   = 'EPO'
    RECEIVING
      rr_object        = lr_common.
lr_decision ?= lr_common.
CALL METHOD lr_decision->get_attributes
    IMPORTING
      es_attributes = ls_attributes.
Make sure that decision point is in edit mode
lv_rc = lr_decision->if_rpm_entity~set_edit_mode(
                     cl_rpm_co=>sc_edit_mode_change ).
IF lv_rc IS NOT INITIAL.
    RAISE error.
ENDIF.
Update status
ls_decision_int = ls_attributes.
ls_decision_int-status = i_status.
ls_decision_int-active = 'X'.
Set the DP attributes
lr_decision->set_attributes( ls_decision_int ).
Read new atrributes
clear ls_decision_int.
CALL METHOD lr_decision->get_attributes
    IMPORTING
      es_attributes = ls_decision_int.
e_status = ls_decision_int-status.

When you are using function module to change the decision point status, you must use /RPM/SAVE_CHANGES function module after /RPM/DECISION_POINT_MODIFY function module otherwise the changes will not be committed to database.
When you are using the classes , then you should use object manager ( cl_rpm_obj_manager) instance method do_save.

Test Stand File menu item entry point execution in VC++ code

Hi,
Can you please suggest me, how to execute a file menu item entry point pragmatically in a VC++ code.
My process model seq inserts an item called "Select Model" into TS file menu.
i have to programmatically execute this entrypoint from an Operator interface developed in VC++.
Request your suggestion in this concern.

Couln't you just use the PerformClick Method? So basically you'll have a reference to your menu somewhere in the code. Get the node of the item you want and then use the PerformClick method.
From MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.menuitem.performclick%28v=vs.71%29.aspx
I recommend that vs going through the TestStand API. It will be a lot cleaner.

Reduce time to build setup project and size of .msi

I have noticed that since we started working with Crystal 2008 (previously we used version 8.5), the merge module added to the Visual Studio 2005 setup project seems to cause the build process to take much longer than before (nearly 10 minutes), and the resulting .msi has ballooned from a few megs into around 54MB.
I think that this is because it is included language support for all languages, even though the only language we need is English. I might be misunderstanding the cause - this is just my best guess.
Does anyone know if there is a way to reduce the amount of time to build, and reduce the size of the .msi?
Thank you for any help.. shannon

Thank you for the response..
My Visual Studio 2005 solution is configured to not build the setup project automatically. I only build it manually when I need to do a test deployment on the development server. As I am approaching the end of the development cycle, I am having to deploy to the dev server pretty frequently - this is why the long build process is becoming more of a problem for me. It is making the testing process very cumbersome.
To be honest, the size of the .msi file doesn't cause any problem for me, but I am guessing that if there were a way to reduce the size, it would also reduce the time, since it seems to take a long time to pack everything into that .msi during the setup project build.
