Integration between Custom list and task list

Is it advisable to provide solutions for the integration between custom list and tasks list in SharePoint?
I am working on a scenario where the data has to be segregated between multiple lists and there will be transactions among these lists using workflow. Some of the capabilities in Tasks list like due date notifications, calendar, tracking are needed
on the transaction. Since these lists are based out of different content types, is it advisable to choose these lists for solutions?
When we have to make few updates through workflow from custom list to tasks, will there be any problem in the transactions as it is two different content type?
Vijayaragavan, MCTS

Since SPLists and SharePoint workflows don't provide inherent
support for transactions, you have to handle rollback operations yourself.
The easiest way to simulate a transaction is to read in the state of any list item you are changing prior to executing an update, and then write that state back should you detect a failure. It's not a perfect solution, since a sufficiently severe error might
prevent your rollback updates as well. That's the price you pay for not having the data store support transactions.
That being said, while it's true many clients will ask for business critical data to be stored in SPLists, I would argue that it's your job to convince them that it's not a good idea, and that transactional databases accessed over webservices are a much safer

    We have craeted 'Equipmentin t-code 'IE01' and task list for that equipment in t-code 'IA01'.
    The equipment created  is stored in table 'EQUI' and the task list is stored in table 'PLPO' and 'PLKO'.
    But in all these tables im not able to find relationship between the equipment - EQUNR and the task list 'PLNNR'. In which table can i find the relationship between EQUNR and PLNNR. This is respect to PM module.

  • Email:  Workflow and Task List Notification

    Hi,
    I am wondering whether the setting 'Workflow and Task List Notification' in application settings is functionality that I can use: I would like to setup the e-mail notifications for planning. One of the tasks on a standard task list that we would like end users to be able to do is to inform a particular user/group that a particular task has been completed. I would not like this task to be a workflow task, can e-mail notifications be sent for standard task list items?
    Options that I have reviewed:
    - Custom button on a dataform - not sure whether I can send parameters through to this, however I could use the form name as a description.
    - A *.jsp page that accepts two parameters 'Description / form name' and 'e-mail address' and the page then sends off an e-mail (Lotus Notes from WebLogic 9)
    - Workflow - although this inform task is not entity driven. Also the notifications are across plan types i.e. one cube enters in Information and then informs users of the second cube that figures are required - which we then import using xref.
    Any advice would be much appreciated. I know it can be done, I am just looking for the easiest way to implement this using standard planning functionality where possible.
    Kind Regards,
    FC

    The default email solutions in planning are using workflow or task lists, though the task lists are based on due dates.
    If you wanted a solution where an email is sent out when a task list is complete, then one route could be to have a business rule attached to a task list and then the business rule uses a custom CDF to send out email notication.
    If you are interested in sending emails from business rules then I did write a blog on the subject a while back.
    Cheers

  • Differences between normal list and ALV list

    Hi All,
      where can i find the differences between a Normal SAP List and ALV List(Documentation part).

    Imagine you have to write a report that lists out customer addresses. You will write code to get the input from the user via selection screen and then read the data based on the seletion from the database into an internal table(or a set of internal tables). Now once you have the data you will need to output this. In normal list reports, you will have to use 'WRITE' statements to format the output into columns and rows. Now suppose user wants some interactivity in it. Then  you will have to provide some buttons and/or menu options through custom pf-status and then write logic for reacting to the user actions. After writing many such reportsm, you will feel like some of this can generalized and reused in every report.
    That is exactly what ALV does. It takes out most of repeated sections of the code from out of you and provides you with excellent outputting functionality. It provides many standard functions like 'print', 'sort', 'filter', 'sum' etc by default. Imagine writing code yourself for all these if you were writing normal list program. One more major difference is the editing feature. If you were write a program that gives the user with editing features, then you will have to write a lot of logic. But with ALV, all the features like adding a row, deleting a row, copying a row, editing some fields of a row etc come by default.
    Likewise, interactivity has become quite easy to implement. Like double clicking on a customer number, if the user wants to go to display customer transaction, it is very easy using ALV.
    As pointed out here by others, go through the documentation of ALV and go through some of those demo programs and you will know the difference. ALV takes out a lot of burden of coding everything away from you and lets you worry about the business functionality that your report provides, rather than formatting the output or providing interactivity to the output.
    Hope this helps,

  • Week view and task list solutions? Solved: a way to sync notes to Mac.

    I've been using a Palm Tungsten T5 for years and routinely rely on the Palm's Calendar week view feature and task list. The week view is indispensable to see where I can fit in appointments. Are there any ways to achieve the same functionalities on the iPhone, whether using built-in iPhone apps or third party apps? The task list would have to include item priorities, due dates, alarms, and ideally repeating events.
    I have found a way to sync notes from the iPhone to my Mac using MarkSpace's The Missing Sync for iPhone; notes are synced to the MarkSpace "notebook" application, where you can edit the notes (and copy and paste) and sync them back to the iPhone. This doesn't sync notes with any Apple applications, though.
    If I could solve the week view and task list omissions, I could see my way to replace my Palm with an iPhone. (And when ePocrates releases a full suite for the iPhone, I'll be all set.) But in the absence of these, I'll have to keep using a Palm.

    I'm in the same boat, unfortunately.
    As a life long Palm-User the PIM-functionalities of iCal can only be described as "rudimentary". It is nowhere near DateBk6 for example. And I would be just fine if it would come close to say 50% of it's functionality. Right now it's at about 25%.
    - no repeating tasks?
    - no tasks+calendar in one view?
    - no week view?
    - no icons for event/task categories?
    Come on Apple, such a great device with the amazing screen resolution, horizontal view etc. and you are not taking opportunity of it and get beat by 10 year old PDA's?

  • Functional Location and Task List FM

    Hi
    Can you please suggest me Function module for Functional Location(TPLNR) and Task List(PLNTY)
    Thank you in advance

    I need to creat a BOM and FL report, in which user gives input through selection screen and gets some out put in ALV.
    as there are many fields and tables therefore I would like to use FM instead of writing SELECT queries to fetch data to overcome performance issue.
    I have already found CS_BOM_EXPL_EQU_V2 using which I can fetch something around 14 fields out of total 45 field which I need to fetch.
    The rest fields are related to Functional Location and Task List , therefore I need to find out some relevant FM to fetch those fields.
    If you can even suggest me some useful Function Group also, I can search the FMs in it.
    Thanks in advance

    I just upgraded to Pre 2 a couple weeks ago and have been experiencing similar problems with my Verizon model and a replacement.  Apparently it is widespread; there is a lengthy (11 pages so far) thread on it in this Community forum.  Try http://palm.lithium.com/t5/Synergy-webOS/strange-behavior-syncing-Pre2-Calendar-with-Google-Calendar... or Google the phrase "strange behavior syncing Pre 2 Google" (look for a search response that references "11 pages" or you'll miss some  of the more recent posts).  Not sure there are any good answers at the moment.  Very disappointing if so; the Google/Pre sync worked flawlessly on my Pre Plus for the past 15 months (webOS v.1.4.5)

  • Difference between customer exits and user exits

    difference between customer exits and user exits

    Hi,
    USER EXITS->
    1. Introduction:
    User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP.
    The exit is implementerd as a call to a functionmodule.
    The code for the function module is writeen by the developer.
    You are not writing the code directly in the function module,
    but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
    The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is:
    EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
    The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:
    CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
    http://www.sap-img.com/abap/a-short-tutorial-on-user-exits.htm
    CUSTOMER EXITS-> t-code CMOD.
    As of Release 4.6A SAP provides a new enhancement technique, the Business Add-Ins.
    Among others, this enhancement technique has the advantage of
    being based on a multi-level system landscape (SAP, country versions, IS solutions, partner,
    customer, and so on)
    instead of a two-level landscape (SAP, customer) as with the customer exits.
    You can create definitions and implementations of business add-ins at any level of the system landscape.
    To unify enhancements of the SAP Standard you can migrate customer exits to business add-ins.

    In order to find out the user exits for any tcode,
    1. get the developement class of the tcode from SE93.
    2. Now goto transaction SMOD and press F4,
    3. give in the Deve class in the dev class and Press ENTER
    this will show u the exits for any tcode.
    or execute this report
    http://www.erpgenie.com/sap/abap/code/abap26.htm
    which gives the list of exits for a tcode

  • Difference between customizing request and workbench request?

    Hi ,
    What is the difference between customizing request and workbench request?
    please reply.........

    HI,
    <b>Workbench Requests</b>
    When you change a Repository object of the ABAP Workbench, a query window appears in which you need to specify a Workbench request. You can only save the changes if you have assigned the object to a change request.
    Workbench requests and the tasks assigned to them are normally used to record changes to Repository objects and Customizing for all clients. However, you can also include client-specific Customizing.
    Whether the changes to Repository objects are transported depends on whether a transport route is defined from the current SAP System for the package of these objects. From the system settings, the system automatically determines whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported.
    <b>Customizing requests</b>
    Customizing requests record client-specific Customizing settings made in a single client (the source client of the request).
    Automatic recording of configuration activities in the Customizing work for a client can be activated or deactivated for each client with Client Control. If automatic recording is active, a query window appears when you change Customizing settings, asking you to specify a Customizing request.
    Whether Customizing requests are transported or not, does not depend on the objects entered, as is the case with Workbench change requests. The Customizing requests in an SAP System (or in a client if you use Extended Transport Control) are either all transportable or all local, depending on the system setting. The system uses the standard transport layer to determine automatically whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported. However, you can change this manually.
    pl reward if it helps.
    Thanks

  • Regd : Integration Between Portal Layer And Process Layer

    Hi Experts,
       I have a query regarding the integration between Portal layer and the process layer in CE. How does the interaction happens or what is the process behind the integration of these two layers. I was going through some help documents at help.sap.com.
    But from there I could not get much of information. So need your inputs on the same.
    Thanks
    Pradipta Kumar Mishra

    Hi Pradipta,
    If you are referring to Guided Procedures as the "Process Layer", then you have one of the three options that I can think of:
    1) Deliver the GP processes via UWL in CE Portal
    2) Deliver the GP processes via UWL in EP (if your organization has one)
    3) Delvier the GP processes via GP Runtime in CE Portal
    Of the three mentioned above, option 2 is preferred since your business users get to access their tasks via a single interface. But you need a EP. If that's not the case, I would suggest Option 1. For integrating GP and UWL, please refer to following link.

    HI Manoja,
    a) Integration between Sales Order and  Inventory module.
    While creating sales order due to Strategy group in MRP3 view of material master does an availability check and determines the first date of availability.
    b)Integration between delivery and  Inventory module.
    At the time of PGI (Goods issue)
    Cost of Goods Sold is debited due to configuration in OBYC GBB T-Key To Inventory Account
    c)Integration between Invoice and FI module.
    In account assignment(that reminds me of your previous que CONDITION TECHNIQUE is used for Account Determination as well)
    Tcode VKOA
    Also when Billing document is released to Accounting
    Customer Account is debited for the amount in Invoice.
    and credited to Sales Revenue Account
    Hope this clarifies to some extent
    Post for further clarification
    Reward if helpful
