How to assign Resources"Labor" to Tasks?!

Dears,
I need to know how i will be able to assign resources "employee" to different task i have because i need to generate cost based on resources assigned to tasks.
Thank in advance

Hi,
Are you using Project resource Management? If yes, then it is standard functionality. If no, then you will have to use the transactions control option on project header or wbs level.
Once assigned time and expenses entered by assigned employees can be costed using the cost rate schedules.

Thank you

Hi,
Resource Planning will work in Project in two methods.
1.work center:
In work center we will assign resources such as machines etc to execute the Projects
2. Workforce Planning:
In work force planing resource assignment to network activity will happen. Project Team will be assigned to WBSE. Capacity planning / levelling will happen through this functionality.
Refer the below URL to know more details of resource planing in projects

How to assign JSP UI to Task in BPM??

Dear Friends,
I want to create a process with a TASK with UI of JSP.
When i try to create a task, I can see only UI type of WebDynpro DC but not allowing me to select other types of UI.
Can anyone pls let me know on how to assign J2EE UI to BPM Task's UI.
Thanks
Raags

Thanks Andreas!!
It's really very disappointing, How could we take this piece to clients?? with only UI of webdynpro.. I don't understand what makes SAP to put this constraint.
I strongly urge SAP to allow various UIs like JSP, Flex, etc in BPM Task UIs.
Thanks,
Raags

One or more of the specified resources could not be re-assigned. This can happen if the proposed resource to be assigned has already an assignment on the given task or the specified assignment is deleted or rejected.

I create a brand new plan based on a template.
A task in that plan has a team resource assigned. the task is fixed work. The PM may change the work and duration but not the team resource.
The plan is published.
I delegate my self as a team resource: and try add myself to team task in the timesheet area (using insert row). I can choose some tasks and the add. Most tasks throw this error. This happens if nothing on the plan is changed - it is brand new - minutes
old

How can I stop the alert:

Trying to stop the swap to Salesforce - but the errors keep a coming

oooch - I can fix it - I need delete the task and recreate it. Which is amazingly tedious as I cannot see if a task needs recreating or not. There's 10 template plans and an average of 200 tasks - then I have to rename the template - the assign the
new template to the EPT - this will be a long night; with only complaints at the end.

Assigning Role to a Task and Resource to a Task

Hello Friends,
In cProjects, I go to the below tab Projects > Resources > Tasks.
Here I do an assignment of Role to a Task and assignment of Resource to a Task.
Could you please tell me as to where does this information gets stored.(ie which tables).
And could you pleae tell me as to how do we differentiate between the Task, Roles and Resources in the internal table created.
Because the internal table consists of Task Guid, Participant Guid and Entity Guid.
Thanks,
Salil

I can tell you the table where the the role assignments get stored . It is
DPR_ENTITY_LINK.

Assign resource to task via abap automatically

Hi experts.
I need to assign via abap a resource to a task.
The scenario is the following:
I have a RoleA with 4 resources staffed (Resource1, Resource2, Resource3, Resource4) and 2 tasks assigned (Task1, Task2).
I need to assign for example Resource1 to Task1 via abap knowing:
- Task1 guid
- RoleA guid
- Resource1 business partner guid.
How is it possible?
Is there a function module or a method to do this?
Thanks,
Luca

Luca;
I never used this functionality.
This "Resource" tab strip that you mentioned used the Object BUS2177.
I found this BAPI's:
BAPI_BUS2177_CREATE
BAPI_BUS2177_CANDIDATE_ADD
BAPI_BUS2177_STAFFING_ADD (this BAPI may helpyou)
Explore with this, I think that you are closer to solve this thread.
Hope this help you.
Best regards,
Mariano.
PD: Points will be apreciated.

Project 2013 No Server, No Sharepoint, Updating Tasks From Assigned Resources Through Email

Ok,
I have searched high and low for this type of information and Im surprised after all these years that no one has asked or requested this type of information?
I am a consultant, with my own version of Project 2013 to track how I run Projects. This is the tool I use. So this being the case it makes no sense for me to spend millions of dollars for Project Server. I am just one person useing this
as my tool of choice.
My issues are:
I create and assign a task to a resource with a name and an email address.
I litterally have thousands of tasks with hundreds of assigned resources (People) with an email address.
I need to update weekly all my task!!! The entire point of using Project 2013 as a tool!
However it appears Microsoft needs to make this very dificult to do. If I have to manually email all these people with task and manually ask them for an update, then manually update all these task then whats the point of even bothering using Micrsofts Project
2013? It is useless.
I need a way to automate these updates without having a Server.
The Question no one seems to be asking is this?
Is there a way to update task through email, (Outlook), Why cant I send emails with a table of tasks assinged, request update in the task table, then the assigned resource sends me back the email with thier updates and I can automatically update my Project
Task?
Am I the only one who has asked this or thought of this? Or are my expectations to high? I cant figure how Microsoft could ever expect a single user of Project even with only one project with 50 to 100 task listed to have to get on the phone or emal
every single person manually, and manually update every single task every single week? I have used other Project type apps and they all have a way of sending emails out to assigned people to get task updates automatically. Only Project doesnt!
Why?

Thanks Prasanna,
Really for the amount of money I have to pay for a Product that should have some way to update tasks.
Think about this for minute. I believe Project 2007 was able to do this ,,,, that made sense....
Really ponder this question: What is the purpose of Microsoft Project for a single user? Does anyone ask these questions prior to development?
The reason for Project to exist is to TRACK TASK! THATS IT! Why would anyone want to track any type of task, hundreds of task MANUALLY? It does me no good for me to be the only one tracking task. It does me no good for me to be the only
one looking at the task schedule. Great, so IM THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS WHATS GOING ON?
So I ask this question.
If this is the case then what is the point of tracking anything if it cant be shared or updated in some way or another? Microsoft Project is useless as a single use product!
Here is the kicker....
I can purchase Outlook for a lot less, I can track any and all task, assign task to anyone with an email, I can assign and schedule task through Outlook and place an alert, set it as an appointment through the Calendar, change and assign start and end dates,
and get updates through email on any task, calendar, anything.... Why then would I waste ANYTIME OR MONEY ON A USELESS TASK TRACKING PRODUCT LIKE PROJECT? It does not do anything? Outlook does a thousand times more than Microsoft Project!
Does that make any sense to anybody? All Microsoft Project really is... is a stripped down Calendar/Task from Outlook with no ability to email, or communicate in any way shape or form with other people who are assigned the work. What ends up happening
is Microsoft expects single users to purchase Project Server? Are you crazy? This is the single reason why Project does not sale! If Microsoft would go back to sales metrics of Project 2007 they would see a decline till now that will reflect
this problem. Its really a simple fix. Sales would triple. Until there is a solution it makes way more sense for me to use Outlook, schedule work task on others calendars and have them send me an update weekly through an automated spreadsheet
through Outlook. From there all the reports exist in Excel. Why do I need Project anymore? BTW I have been a MS Project user since its inception.... SO IM not new to it... what a terrible waste of time, resources, and lack of
vision for just a simple powerful addin that was removed after 2007. Single users like myself will never purchase Project Server just so we can send emails with assigned task for an update,,, silly?

How to assign a task to Reuestor in OIM 11g

How to assign a task to a requestor (who has raised a request for other user).
I created a Task assignment adapter and mapped variable in Process definition as
Map To: Request Info
Qualifier: Requester User Login
Still it returns null and default task is assigning to System adminstrator. I am pasting the Task Assignment code here. User key value coming as Null.
Do you have any idea what is the exact mapping required in Process definition.?? Pls note: I am using OIM version 11.1.1.5.0
public class TaskAssignmentToUserAdapter {
     Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("COM.IDM.PROV.COMMON.ADAPTERS");
     public String getTargetType(String targetType){
          return targetType;
     public String assignTaskToUser(String userKey,tcDataProvider dataProvider ){
          System.out.println("The user key value:" +userKey);
          return userKey;
     }

Not sure what sample code I can give you, but you need to do a query in your adapter like:
select REQUEST_KEY from OIU where ORC_KEY='?'
Here ORC_KEY should be mapped to the process instance key.
Once you have the Request key, you can use RequestServcie APIs to get the requester information. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e17334/oracle/iam/request/api/RequestService.html#getBasicRequestData_java_lang_String_
Or if you don't care then get the requester key from the request table. Thus you can have the final query as:
select USR_LOGIN from USR where USR_KEY=(select REQUESTER_KEY from REQUEST where REQUEST_KEY = (select REQUEST_KEY from OIU where ORC_KEY='?'))

Are you not storing the project number in the staging table designed for storing the task data? You can use create_project API to create the project and tasks at the same time with one single call. You may want to try that option

What is difference btw project Assignment, Resource Assignment and task Assignment.

Hi,
I am new project accounting Module .
what is difference btw project Assignment, Resource Assignment and task Assignment.

Project Assignment, Resource Assignment refers to the resource management part and Task assignment is basically the work assignment to the resource.
An assignment/requirement is created in PJR for create demand for the resource requirement of the project and when the resource is aligned he can be assigned to the task in the work plan.
Refers to the top down approach in this case.
Additionally a resource can be assigned to the work plan and a assignment can be created to get the resource allocated to the project.
Refers to the bottom up approach in this case

How to assign approval task to a person who is not a member of the site

Hi All,
I need to assign approval task to a person who is not a member of site but member of team site.
I know that if a person need to approve/reject task form should have atleast contribute permission.
Is it possible to assign contribute permission to that person through workflow using impersonate step?

You can assign permission through workflow using impersonate step and add list item permission. Few things to note here
1) Impersonate step actually impersonate the person who last modified the workflow. This impersonation is similar to code impersonation. So you have to be careful that person who is creating this workflow does have permission to assign permission to others.
2) You will have to assign permission to the list item (or list) where the item is as well as the task list item (or list) where your workflow task would be created. I think that would be Association: Task List when in SPD.
3) If user does not have any permission at the site level then the only way they can access the item and/or the task item is through the link they would have received in email.
I am not 100% sure how permission assignment works from SPD when you list and list items are inheriting permission from parent so please verify that part as well.

How to assign task to others with an attachment?

Hi All,
How to assign task to other with an attachment and field values in the actual InfoPath form?
In detail, If a InfoPath form has submitted then task should be assigned to a person with an attachment and some field values which are present in InfoPath form.
How to achieve this scenario?
Thanks in advance!

What you describe is a simple approval workflow. SharePoint comes with approval workflows out of the box.
When a task is created to approve an item, it does not need to have the attachment that is already in the item. The task will contain a link to the item that needs to be approved, so there is no need to duplicate the file attachment.
You may want to read a bit more about the out of the box approval workflows in SharePoint. Start here:

Code for assignment for local and enterprise resource to a task?

Greetings,
I have programming in VB.net a code, that assiged a local resource to a task:
Ass=ActiveProject.Resources.Item(RessNummer).Assignments.Add(t_temp.ID)
If I use this code with enterprise resource, this error occured:
"NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code"
How can I write
the code
so that it works for both
types of resources?
Thank you!
Michael

Hi,
They should both work the same way. So do you have the Enterprise Resource added to the project? Use the
Application.EnterpriseResourceGet method to do this.

Any workaround also would help

Hi Glen,
I am trying to use ExtendedPropertyType and put in UpdaterItemType as in this code as below. Although it is not updating the Owner
field.
I have tried it both by Propertyname and PropertyID. Although new custom property's canbe
added but to change an existing one like 'Owner' ? Would this be the right method.
2. And Is ProprertyID a fixed value as 0x811f or does it need to be calculated.
3. Is 'Owner' the right propertname for assigning a task ?
Thanks a lot.
Please see code below for reference.
PathToExtendedFieldType pathExtended = new PathToExtendedFieldType();
//pathExtended.DistinguishedPropertySetId = DistinguishedPropertySetType.PublicStrings;
pathExtended.DistinguishedPropertySetId = DistinguishedPropertySetType.Task;
pathExtended.DistinguishedPropertySetIdSpecified = true;
pathExtended.PropertyId = 0x811f;
pathExtended.PropertyIdSpecified = true;
//pathExtended.PropertyName = "Owner";

Manage a resource work load when several resources are assigned to the same tasks

I think I am confusing myself!
Basically I have multiple resources assigned to the same tasks throughout my schedule. I have levelled the schedule and here lies the issue. There are often instances where a resource will not have any work loaded for them for a long period, because they are
waiting for another/other resources to become available before they can move on to the next task.
There are also lots of days where they are working but not being fully utilised too.
Is this simply because we have too many resources assigned to the same tasks and there is no way around the issues we are finding?
Can you offer a solution that doesn't involve creating the same task 4 times (if 4 people are working on it at the same time) and assigning them all individually to the duplicated tasks? the schedule will be so long if I have to do this.
Any help you can offer would be much appreciated
Thanks
