Early Start and Early Finish Dates

When I build a schedule I always build it to early start and early finish dates. When I go to update my project the items that are finished always return a blank in the early start and early finish dates. Is there a way to get the program to still show the dates that the activities started and finished on in the early start early finish columns? I would like to be able to use the early start and finish columns instead of having to add more columns to be able to look back and see the start and finish dates for an activity that has already been completed.
Thanks,
Ryan Cherry

  • Earliest Start and Earliest Finish dates for Tasks

    Hi experts,
    Can anybody tell me in what table are the Earliest Start and Earliest Finish dates for tasks located? If no table is available does anyone know of a BAPI o function to obtain these dates?
    Thanks and best regards,

    Hi Wendy!
    Thank you so much for your explanation, we have done exactly what you mentioned in your post. In fact we are now using the SCHEDULED_START and SCHEDULED_FINISH instead of the PLANSTART and PLANFINISH.
    OK so this is how it went:
    In transaction SE11 we added the two fields in our append structure ZDPR_TS_DASHBOARD.
    We added them just like they are named:
    SCHEDULED_START type DPR_TV_SCHEDULED_START
    SCHEDULED_FINISH type DPR_TV_SCHEDULED_FINISH
    When doing so, it gave off a warning that SCHEDULED_START and SCHEDULED_FINISH are not customer fields and should have a YY or ZZ in front. I ignored the warning based on your advice and activated the append anyway.
    So that´s how the append went.
    Next on to the SPRO config:
    In the define atributes part,  SCHEDULED_START and SCHEDULED_FINISH are already defined as attributes, however I am not sure how the rest of the configurations should go, for example:
    Attr.Type, Summarization Rule, Summ. Res,  Init Vals., or Reference Attribute.
    I left these values standard and didn´t modify anything in this part of SPRO.
    Next I checked in the extract layout configuration in SPRO and verified if they were in the 0_Dashboard. It was there alright, but again I am not sure if I should flag any of the two flags in that configuration:
    Always Extract and Calculate after Aggr.
    I left them blank (standard).
    In summary, I didn´t have to do any configuration in SPRO...
    I went to the Tasks Dashboard in cProjects and the new columns keep coming with blank values...
    What do you think Wendy? Am I still missing something?
    Thanks again and regards,
    Fernando

  • Work Order Basic Start Date and Basic Finish Date to be changed

    Hi,
    Currently the business creates work orders without specifying the work resulting which the start and fish dates on work order are same. Also we have automatic scheduling turned off. In spite of this If I am trying to manual modify the basic start and basic finish dates on work order it does not allow me to do so. This issue is seen with work orders which are Released whereas orders with status outstanding have no issues. Could anyone please let me know what could be the reason?
    Thanks,
    Vinay

    Please check whether Scheduling type only capacity requirement is configured.
    If yes, choose this scheduling type in order, you can able to change Basic start date & basic finish date.

  • Early Start and Early Finish Dates for Completed Activities?

    I am using P6 release 7 and having a problem with Early Start and Early Finish Dates for completed activities. For example, for an activity "A" the actual start date is 10-Oct-2013 and actual finish date is 19-Oct-2013, and activity is 100% completed but somehow P6 showing me the Early Start Date 02-Nov-2013 and Early Finish Date 02-Nov-2013. To me early start and early finish dates should not really be a matter for completed activities but I like to know why and how P6 calculates early start and finish dates for completed activities. Please let me know if somebody has an answer.
    Thanks

  • Planned order creation with PDS valid on only order start date and not finish date

    Hi All,
    We have requirement to allow creation of planned order manually if production version is valid on order start date and not finish date.  This is because lead time of order is longer. I refered OSS notes 385602. I could find out solution for this is implementation of OSS note 694140 to change validity mode at activity level to consider start date of first produce activity  in validity interval. Problem is even If I create order in APO by implementiong this note planned order is not transfered to ECC and it gets stuck with error production version not valid.
    Is there any way in ECC to control this? Any config or customization?

    Nilesh,
    I think there is a simple procedural skip happening in your business process. You are right when a planned order is created after MRP it would default assign it to the first available production version. 2options available for us,
    1. First use transaction MF50 and do the line loading and assign the quantites to the production versions/Production lines, so that the actual capacity planning is getting completed. This way you can have planned orders with both the production versions and matching to your actual line capacity.
    2. Use Quota arrangement concept, to automatically split the Planned orders during MRP for a percentage based on individual production versions.
    Now when backflush is performed S225 table is updated and Planned order qty also gets reduced.
    Hope this helps....

  • Process Order Basic Finish Date and Scheduled Finish Date

    Folks,
    I have a requirement from the business to be able to update the Process Order Basic Finish Date and Scheduled Finish Date independently from each other.
    In other words, update the Basic Finish Date and the Scheduled Finish Date cannot change or update the Scheduled Finish Date and the Basic Finish Date cannot change.
    I believe the reason for this is to be able to use the Basic Date to maintain the ATP accurately and keep the Scheduled Date to mark when the order was originally due from the shop floor to be able to measure if orders are being completed on time or late.
    I have worked in tnx OPUZ and had some success with other issues with these dates but I can't seem to make them work independently from each other.
    Or does anyone have any ideas how to measure proces order performance to the production schedule?
    Thank you for your help,
    Greg

    Rajesha, thank you for your reply but it doesn't solve my problem.
    Let me restate my scenario:
    I start a process order and both the basic and scheduled finish dates are the same, June 1.
    At some point, shop floor tells me they will be late and cannot deliver until June 15.
    I need to update a date in the system so the ATP and the MRP planning runs have correct information for promising customers, I will update the Basic Finish date with June 15.
    I also need to keep the original June 1 date in order to measure the shop floor performance to the production schedule to measure how early or late the  order was delivered. How can I keep the original finish date or how can I measure if a process order is early or late??
    Thank you for your help,
    Greg

  • Basic start date and scheduled finished date...can we have Planned date?

    Is there any "Plan Start Date" in SAP, the date where scheduler must put manually in the system to determine the "committed" date for the work to be executed - based on earliest and latest start date which automatically calculated by SAP?
    Our plant must keep the Basic Finish Date unchanged since it is the Required Date of the Work to finish.  We found that the Plan Date does not change and I was wondering if there is any way we can have the Planned date on the order header or have the basic finish date unchanged?
    Appreciate your advices

    Any suggestion for this enhancement???

    Hi
    U need to enhance the VBAP table by APPEND structure in order to add new fields you need.
    So in that exit you can fill your new fields:

  • CS5 Crop will start and not finish

    Hello all,
    I'm working with photoshop Cs5 on a windows 7 platform. I am trying to crop a 151kb image but photoshop is freezing up. It starts the crop and never finishes (just looks like its loading). Does anyone know what to do? I have to have photoshop for work and the customer support will not help me because its a Cs5 version.

    What image? If the internal data sructure of the image is damaged, such operations may fail. Otherwise this could be a normal PS issue with running out of memory or disk access problems, but you have not provided nearly enough info on that.

  • How to set a default start and/or end date for New Events based on trigger date.

    I'm using the CalendarActivityListener to get current row when clicking on an existing event. As per previous posts this listener gives you access to event detail including Start Date, End Date, etc.
    However, what I want to do is to default the start (and end) dates for New Events based on the trigger date.
    I've tried the CalendarListener and can grab the Trigger Date from it - however, I can't see a way to pass this directly to the popup/dialog I'm using to create the new event.
    At present I'm putting the TriggerDate into the ADFContext session scope e.g. ADFContext.getCurrent().getSessionScope().put("TriggerDate",calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());
    Then, I've tried multiple approaches to try and "get" the TriggerDate from session scope to drop it into my new Calendar Event basically, I'm trying to default the InputField(s) associated with the Start Date using the value from the session - I've tried
    1. setting the default value for the InputField in the jspx using a binding expression i.e. value="#{sessionScope.TriggerDate}" - this actually sets the value appropriately when the jspx is rendered but, when I go to create I get a NPE and I can't debug. I assumed that it might be a Date type issue - it would appear that CalendarListener provides a date of type java.util.Date and that the StartDate attribute of my VO/EO/table is a DATE and therefore requires oracle.jbo.domain.Date so I tried casting it - to no effect
    2. Using a Groovy expression *(StartDate==null?adf.context.sessionScope.TriggerDate:StartDate)* in my calendar's EventVO to default the Start Date to the same result
    Any thoughts or ideas?

    John,
    Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
    Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
    Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
    Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
    BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
    *if ( bindingContext != null )    {*+
    DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
    DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
    Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
    if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
    currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
    if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
    currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
    *}*

  • Shipment completion check is erasing load start and load end dates & times

    Once the load start, load end is clicked during the pack process, the system reads this just fine.  Once ship complete happens, the system is erasing the load start load end.
    We are capturing the difference between Load end and Load start as Packing time in a custom report.  Similarly the difference between Shipment end and Shipment start as Loading time.  But we post goods issue the delivery by ship complete button the dates and times are gone.  Any idea of how and where I can configure this not to disappear even after the ship complete.  Thank you.

    Have you checked the table VTTK with different fields before completing PGI? In other words you are wiping out the loading start and loading end details some how. You should have a value in your VTTk value before PGI.  Check that.

  • Capture Latest start and latest end - date and time  through PI category.

    Hi Guys,
    I want to capture latest start and latest date and time of each of the individual phases through PI categories. i.e these values should flow from process order.What characteristic do i have to include? I know PPPI_EVENT_DATE and time will not work for this.

    Thanks for your response Avinash.
    Btw, I have viewed all these notes 368289.1, 603233.1, 399056.1, 329692.1, 1146414.1 already, but these don't seem to solve my problem because in each of these are under assumption that the initial Joining Date of the employee (i.e. Effective Start Date and Latest Start Date) is entered correctly without an issue, and these notes talk about dealing with 'Updating or Correcting' the data.
    But In my case the pre-conditions are different, although those are making the system to respond in the same way (i.e. showing same error) some how.
    As far as deleting the employees is concerned, yes that could be one option, but I am not really sure about adapting this solution as the dates I used in my case were just example dates, and in actual these employees are created almost 1 month back and they are already used in Projects module, CRM module and others.
