Field selection in th Project Builder

Hi PS gurus
I want to make the Recipient field and the vendor field in the Purch. data tab of a Component mandatory
How do i do that
Can somebody help
Amit Fernandes

hi..
for material components, you have a certain doc type that is created.. (if it generates a Purch Req)
Most likely it is purch requisition doc type NB (CHECK in IMG - Project System - Material - Procurement - check acct asst categories and doc types for Purcs reqs)
now this doc type has a certain assigned field selection key.. you can check this in IMG - Materials Management - Purchasing - Purchase Requisition - Define Document Type.
here you can see what particular field key is assigned.
NOW, you can change the attributes of that particular field key in the path i provided in my earlier post..
just select the Field Key that was maintained (for example NBB) and check the fields whether it is hidden, Optional entry or required..
so here you can set Requisitioner, Vendor, Tracking Number etc.. as Required.
unfortunately i didnt seem to notice if Recipient field is included.

Project builder link is not working in cProjects accounting tab.

Hello All,
I have a problem in the cProjects accounting tab where when I select the WBS element in the PS project the page opens where the links to the different systems are seen and when i select to the Project Builder:Display WBS element link it takes me to the initial Screen of the ERP systems instead of taking me to the Project Builder transaction code.
Thanks and regards,

Make sure the article that you want to share is un-protected from folio Producer dashboard because all articles are protected by default. And other coupkle of settings to enable social sharing.

How to find all changes in project builder (especially in user field)

Hi All,
Please advice, how can i get the history who change our data in cj20n (project builder),especially in user field tab.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Nies

I am stating once again what ever was mentioned earlier:
Check the below:
1. Is Change documents indicator enabled in the project profile?
2. Have you created a User Status for business transaction 'Create Change documents' as allowed for the object WBS. (I assume you want to log the changes of WBS user defined fields)
3. Have you used the this profile while creating the project?
4. Did you set the user status on the WBS? This needs to be done manually
5. Have you released the WBS?
Now try make changes to existing fields of WBS and save it. Run the report CN60

Including customized fields in Field selection for Project definition

Hi Experts,
I have created additional zfields in Project definition,
But those fields are not coming in customization node " Field selection for Project Definition".
Is there any way , by which we can include those fields in the list of " Field selection for Project Definition" in customization ,
so that i can hide/disable for diff project Profile.
Thanx in adv.

Hi,
actually one can try to add customer fields to field configuration using transaction SFAW alike SAP own fields.
It is usually possible to extend the list of the modifiable fields of the field selection in transaction SFAW within the framework of a
modification (as long as the fields are relative to tables PRPS or PROJ). The relevant module pool is SAPLCJWB.
Example
E.g. for the SAP field 'functional area' (field PRPS-FUNC_AREA) one would proceed as follows:
In the transaction SFAW, Module pool SAPLCJWB, Screen group PRPS
-Select 'Modified fields', and choose 'Change'.
-Enhance the list of the modifiable fields by the following entries :
PRPS-FUNC_AREA. Answer yes to the question : do you want the field to
be modifiable?.
Don't forget to save and then click on the 'generate button' of the
transaction SFAW.
- The relevant field for distribution profile would be PRPS-PGPRF.
In the same manner one can try to add the Z field.
Please note: This procedure is considered as a modification, so please review note
114390 which discusses a problem which can occur during an upgrade.
Kind regards

VS Project build fails on TSQL Code in script.

Hi there,
I have the following issue on which I've done some research, but nothing helps.
The database project I am working on compiles everything but one script. The scripts folder has 3 scripts, a controller that calls the remainder two.
One of these scripts fail on SQL syntax which is weird because they seem to be okay and SSMS would not complain. Having experimented a little I found that any SQL statement fails on syntax, there must be a configuration issue here.
What I have tried so far:
-add the script as a stored procedure and reference it within the script, so that the script will have one line only (EXEC usp_BuildTestData - it is needless to say that the stored procedure compiles well...)
-create a new script file (without build) from within VS.
-check if the script file BuildAction property is set to None
-load the script file and switch off the SQLCMD mode in t-SQL Editor Execution settings.
Build still fails with SQL72007: The syntax check failed 'Incorrect syntax near EXEC' in the batch near 'EXEC usp_BuildTestData '.
I thought this was a common error or at least something I could easily find a solution for.
Unfortunately VS is somewhat new to me.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Versions:
Visual Studio Pro 2012 (Version 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL) (.Net FW: 4.5.50709)
Target database version: SQL 2008R2 (this is set in the project's target platform setting)

Hi Tina,
Thank you for getting back to me. I inherited the project file in subject therefore I cannot tell how it was created. But, I tried re-creating the database project from scratch that resulted in the same error. Steps below:
-Select New Solution/ new SQL Server database project
-Copy the sql files and folders into solution folder then map them into the project file
-build the project.
The database is based upon C#.
The idea of the post deployment script is that it builds test data in the freshly deployed application. It uses a linked server that points to production and selects some data.
I continued experimenting with the post deployment script and found something interesting.
So 1 of the invoked scripts fail on the SQL syntax. This is a simple line EXEC usp_BuildTestData.
The other that compiles well is an ALTER VIEW. I pasted the EXEC... line after this and it worked. It builds now. (I have removed the remaining empty script file, so I have 1 post deployment script file now that invokes 1 script only.
I tried comparing the two files but concluded in the fact that each property is the same (Buildaction=None, CopyAlways) in both files.
This proves to me that the SQL code was correct, I did not leave obvious mistakes in it.
The "bad" script file fails on syntax, regardless of what I give in. I tried recreating by clicking 'Add new item' then selecting Script (Not in build). Did not help unfortunately. Once referenced in the PostDeployment script, build fails.

Creating a task field list in c# project

Hi All,
I am writing a small application to simply my monthly forecasting and reporting. I'm extracting data from my msProject file into a c# application with a local database. I want the user to be able to select which task data fields to extract into
the database at run time. To achieve this I'm trying to extract from msProject a list of all used fields.
Following advice from some forum posts I've been able to create a list of fields, based on looping through each Table and taking the TableField names. The field names are stored as strings. Enterprise field are string representations of integers.
I now want to be able to get the data for each task for the fields selected by the user.
I'm having trouble using "FieldNameToFieldConstant" to GetField value. I can use it perfectly well in a VBA macro but can find how to use the function in a C# application. I found a post where someone reporting using...
task.GetField(msProject.Application.FieldNameToFieldConstant(fieldName,...)
I can't get to work for me though, when I try msProject.Application. my only available choices are "Equals" and "ReferenceEquals".
So to sum up, how do I us "FieldNameToFieldConstant" in a c# application or if someone has a better way to create a list of fields that would be great.
Thanks in advance

OK, so I worked it out, answer provided below for anyone else who is interested.
The answer to my first questions is that FieldNameToFieldConstant is access via an instance of msProject.Application, in my code below MSP.Application app = new MSP.Application();
My Code now searches through every table, and for every field in each table creates a custom object which contains the field name and ID number, each new custom field is tested against the contents of the List<clsFieldList> and if its unique its added
to the list. At the end of the process I have a list of all unique fields from all tables in the project file.
Hope this is helpful to someone.
Cheers

Using ms project 2007 and vba macro to list all the custom fields used in the project?

Hi,Using ms project 2007 vba macro, I would like to be able to list all the custom fields used in the project and their corresponding field names. e.g. let us say I create a calculated duration field and name it "expected duration" and the name
of the field I select is Duration1.
I am trying to write a macro that will list all the used custom fields such as the result would look like:
Duration1 ---> "expected duration"
Text1 ---> "anything"
Flag1 ---> "....."
Number1 ---> "..............."
Can anyone provide me with the solution?
Regards,
Chuck

John,
I found this module, which provides the the list of custom fields used in the project but does not provide the name given to the field. Here below is the module and hope you could help me achieve this by modifying the macro to list the renamed field.

Sub checkfields2()
'This macro will check and report out which custom task fields are used
'It requires Project 2002 and above as it relies on the GetField
'and FieldNameToFieldConstant methods which were not introduced until
'2002.
'It does not include resource fields, however it is a simple matter to
'do it by replacing the pjTask constant with pjResource.

Project Build Query

Hello,
While building, if Build Automatically selected under the
Project menu, the project is supposed to build while we perform a
save operation. The build process is indicated at the Flex Builder
status bar right hand bottom corner.
In my case this build indication is showed at times but most
of the time it does not show any indication. If I deselect the
Build automatically option and forcefully try to build the project
using Build All or Build Project, again at times it shows the Build
process dialog box or process inidication at the status bar, but
again mostly it doesnot show anything.
At times the project gets build fine even though the build
indication is not shown but many a times it is not building the
project properly and I am getting erroneous results.
What may be the reason? I am working on an application which
is using XMLListCollections ArrayCollections, lots of databinding
and custom components etc. Could it be a memory issue? Do I need to
do any specific setting changes for project build and compilation?
Please advise.

Paromita

Project Builder 6.0.5.7.0 woes

Couple of questions....
1. Has anyone used this with Oracle Developer 6i? When I started to put in
all my items then picked tools:delivery wizard, the option to "Deliver
locally and create an Oracle Installer Script" is Greyed out. Any body else
experience this?
2. When I add reports objects (rdf), the node "Reports Builder Document" is
added but no "Reports Builder Executable". Ideas?
THIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED (METALINK NOTE)
3. When I click on Ctrl-T or "Build Selection" button on a form, I get an
information dialog: "No items were built". What's up?
4. When I attempt to open a form, right click and select Edit, it opens the
form and can't find referenced objects (or libraries). Should I be placing
ALL SOURCE in one path, with the project file in there too, and then using a
shortcut to startup Project Builder, or putting the path in the registry??
5. The BUILD option for the module type of FMB says "Convert from Text" and
when I try Edit Type, the build Action "display in popup menu" is selected.
However, if I right click a form builder document, I see NO "convert from
text option". I DO get the CONVERT To Text option (The SCRIPT action).
Ironically, both have the same HOTKEY. (which is also used by "c"opy)
6. Why isn't there simply a "Build"/Compile option?
7. How can I specify a different output directory for the BUILT modules.
They are defaulting to the directory containing the project file? I see
this when I turn on Project: Action Preview
mode, the output_file parameter.
8. Also, if I turn this on and Select a Build all, there's NO WAY to stop ALL
OF THE DIALOGS being displayed for each module - what if I want to QUIT in
the middle of this.
Any help appreciated!

Hi Ida
Ensure that your Oracle 9i database instance is up and running.
Also, you must have appropriate settings in your tnsnames.ora for using the Oracle 9i database.

Explode BPOs or BOMs in Easy Cost Planning from Project Builder

Hi,
Has anyone had the requirement to be able to explode BOMs or BPOS (in costing models) while in the ECP screen in Project Builder. Is there an enhancement which one could use to do this, or do one of the Industry Solutions adress this?
Regards
Marc

hi chandra...
you are doing correct, nothing wrong in process.....
but as a practice it is not advisable to make any changes in ECP for your operative project.....
if you want to make changes in ECP then just creat one simulation version and make changes in that.... & then do sales pricing for that simulation version....
advantages
1) you will have track of all quotation you submitted... ( for all operative as well as simulation project)
2) if any quotation got selected from customer ( say simulation version sim002) then you just transfer that simulation version to operative one & start workin on that..........
in your case
you will keep on changing your ECp you will not have track wich quotation you submitted what was the price what was the strucuture & ECp...... you will not come to know.....
Please correct me if i'm wrong.....

Attachment/Notes to Billing Milestones in Project Builder

Hi Friends,
Does any one experienced so far "attachment/notes" to billing milestones in project builder.
I will give more details so that it would be easy to go thorugh my question.
In project builder, expand billing WBS element which have milestones in structure area, select any of one of them staying in structure area, righ click on milestone which opens another screen which display so many options. for example notes, attachment etc.
My question here is that, is it possible to attachment documents etc to milestones?, if attached where we can see them.
Aslo in regards to notes, where do we see and who are the others users can see those notes, I mean, SD, Finance etc. Let me tell you. I tried to maintain some notes one billing milestone and could not see on SD or on billing document. I am curious.
How to activate to see those notes/attachments in PS so that data would flow to X-modules. What is required to activate such things so that PM in PS module can input his comments on billing related.
Looking forward to hear from you all. Thanks in anticipation.
Regards,
PSR

is it possible to attachment documents etc to milestones?
yes it is possible.
if attached where we can see them
After attaching on right clicking on the milestone you get an option for attachment list where you can view the same.
in regards to notes, where do we see
You can view in the option where you maintain the notes.
who are the others users can see those notes
Whoever has display milestone authorisation.
I would like to mention one thing, the attachment which you are making by "Services for object" is specific to that object so it does not get carry forwarded to the relevant object.
We had a situation where in the technical specification attached to the material component in CJ20N should get carry forward to PR and then to PO.We accompolished this using DMS as it is a standard functionality in it.Because attachment through DMS works on the Object Link concept.Also in DMS the original attchment is stored in content server and only the link is referred in the object.
But in your case, you are using the "Services for object" which is utilising the SAP server itself, and here the original attchment itself is referred by the object and not the link.So it wont get transferred to the subsequent process object of different modules.Whereever you can display the object(milestone) you can view the attachments.

Oracle installer scripts in Delivery wizard is disabled in Project builder

Hi,
I have oracle forms 6i installed on my system. However, I was trying to builld installer scripts for my project. So I open the deliver wizard in Project builder. Select all the parameters, like project name/directory etc.and then when I reach the option of creating installer scripts, it is disabled while the others like,
Deliver to local staging, Deliver to a remote staging etc is enabled.
Any ideas, why I the installer scripts are disabled.?
thnx
S

Soe more.
I read in the Oracle manual under the Guidelines for Building Applications
in the section Managing Your Application the following statement about project builder:
"Remember that you can automate the running of test scripts just as you can automate actions associated with the modules in your application.
How would one do this???
Thanks!

Selecting a FCP Project to Export Mix To ....

HI
When Exporting a STP Mutlitrack Mix Back to FCP (File/Export/ Master Mix with Send to FCP picked) FCP Launches and a Dialog Opens with a "Destination" drop down. Am I meant to be able to see / navigate to a FCP Project File from here? Seems like a should be able to, but all I get is an option to Create New Project... not what I want.
Sure, if FCP is already open with the correct Project the Destination box shows the project and the Export proceeds. Or If I cancel the whole thing and Import the XML document into the FCP after opening the Destination Project , my mix ends up in the right place.
But what's the point of the "Destination" fileld if it doesn't allow me to set one?
What am I missing here?
Thanks
Lee
BTW : STP 3.01, FCP 7.0.3

The destination dialog is where you save the mix file and xml file to disc. You will select which FCP >project to open it in once FCP opens.
Yes ... you are right. It's the Dialog in FCP I'm talking about ... STP doesn't remember the Project it came from on the return trip unless FCP has it open already. I guess technically it's an FCP issue (?) since that Dialog doesn't appear until FCP launches.... but I think STP should know what thew project file was called... and the Project Destination field be able to navigate to it.
Workflow that's all. There's workarounds, but I wanted to ensure I wasn't missing anything.
