Making actual start & finish time fields mandatory in COR6
I need to make the actual start time (AFRUD-ISDZ) & actual finish time(AFRUD-IEDZ) fields mandatory in COR6. Currently the system gives a default value of 00:00:00.
Hi Manish,
Have you also checked changing the setting for these fields
AFVGD-isbz...?
Also one more option would be use of transaction variant.

Start/Finish vs Schedule Start/Finish vs Actual Start/Finish
Hi,
I'm new to MSP 2013 and I'm confused on the way MSP handles Start/Finish dates. While I understand the rational of it adjusting the schedule so you see how actual dates impact the schedule, I find it confusing that there are multiple columns with different
labels performing the same function?
"Scheduled Start" would lead you to believe this is your initial planned start date and remains static while "Actual Start" would be, well, the Actual Start date. So one value by definition would be different than the other, yet when any
of these dates, "Scheduled Start", "Actual Start", or "Start" are changed, they all change to the same value.
My questions are:
Why do the "Scheduled Start", "Actual
Start", and "Start" dates all change to the "Actual Date" when entered?
Is there a scheduling technique or purpose for this to work this way?
Also, since the "Scheduled Start" date changes, how does MSP 2013 handle Earned Value?
Since Earned Value calculations rely on your Planned Value which would be based on the Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled and the Earned Value which is
the Budgeted Cost of Work Performed vs. the Actual Cost of the Work Performed at "a point in time," how could it provide a reliable figure if the scheduled date is moving? Is it using the "Baseline Start/Finish"?
I hope you can answer this for me or direct me to a resource that can. Thank you for your consideration.
MarcMarc,
When Project was first released there were only two basic start field, Start and Actual Start (in addition of course to the Baseline Start field and a few others). With the release of Project 2010, a manual scheduling mode was introduced. That's when things
got a little more confusing. Instead of leaving the Start date as is, the Start field was converted to a text field and the old Start field was renamed as Scheduled Start. When in auto-schedule mode, both Start and Scheduled Start are exactly the same.
Now to answer your questions. To keep it simple, let's assume you are using auto-scheduling.
1. In order to keep the schedule dynamics intact, it is necessary to update the Start field to agree with what really happened, namely with the Actual Start date. If you do not enter anything into the Actual Start field, Project automatically assumes the
task started as scheduled, on the Start date.
2, Yes, Project does its scheduling based on the current plan which is represented by start, finish and other data. Once the project starts, that current plan must be updated so the actual date values come into play. As noted in the lead in paragraph, Scheduled
Start and Start are the same for auto-scheduled tasks.
3. Earned value is based on the actual values and the saved baseline data. The "point in time" you refer to is the timescaled data as of the status date.
Hopefully, this clear up at least some of your confusion.

Need to update the actual start date & time of a operation in workorder
Hi Experts,
I need to update the Actual Start date and Actual start time of a Operation of a WorkOrder through a Function Module.
I was looking into the BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN FM, but i couldn't find any field relating to the actual start date and start time of a operation.
Kindly Suggest me which Function module i can use to complete my task.
Thanks in Advance
byeHi,
It is system's standard behavior and no other MRP type will help you in moving the start date outside the planning time fence. With MRP type P3 new requirements are covered at the end of the fixing period, the end date is set and planed order is scheduled backword. Hence the start date will lie within the planning time fence.

Why do Start/Finish dates automatically change to match Actual Start/Finish dates?
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is the
rationale for MS Project automatically changing the "Start" and "Finish" dates to match the "Actual Start" and "Actual Finish" dates when they are inputted? Can this "feature" be disabled?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.Hi,
In the end, yes, once actuals are recorded, all these values are the same - but before that they can all be different!
Before an actual start is recorded, the column shows "NA" (wich obviously is different from Start :-)). To the scjheduling engine, thsi means the start can be freely calculated (from predecessors or resource leveling, f.i.) whereas when a date
appears in Actual Start, Project will take that value as carved in granite - it is supposed to show past reality, and reality is more powerful than values calculated by the scheduling engine!
So these two values are not Always identical!
As for Scheduled start, that is indeed meaningless for automaticlly calculated tassk. But for manually scheduled tasks it does play a role. For a manually schduled task, you can set any start value you want (even a litteral such as "when we have
the time"). Still, there is an option to make manually scheduled tasks obey links - the result of that calculation is then put into scheduled start - and so there can be a difference between these two columns as well.
So, no, these 4 values do not have the same function. They are ony identical as soon as actuals are recorded but what do you expect? There is only one past reality, Project does not work with a parallel universum :-)
Hope this helps, -
Settin start/finish times for a video in iTunes, video freezes for while.
This is a problem I had under iTunes 8 and Leopard, and it's exactly the same with iTunes 9 and Snow Leopard. (and was the same with iTunes 9 and just Leopard).
I often "cut" parts of video clips in iTunes, setting a start and finish time so I don't have to see the rest of the video, while not losing it either.
Most of the time, after I set those times, I want to check if my cuts are set right and go back to the video and look at it with the cuts... Well now I can't!
If I click on a video to watch it immediately, or even in the minutes after I made those changes, the video will open, but stay frozen and kinda skip on the same frame over and over (producing digital audio clipping sounds), and whatever I do, trying to FFW or anything, doesn't do anything.
If I open other videos, do other stuff and come back after 10min, it'll be OK, like nothing ever happened, and my new settings will be taken into account.
I can't believe that with a fast MBP, with a iTunes and OS upgrade, this problem continues!
Am I the only one with this bug?
Is this something that could be done?
THanks.I'm not sure about the error message, but it might just be easier to use an application such as Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip to create an iPod compatible version of the video.

Have trouble creating formula using FormCalc that will calculate difference in time (hours and minutes) from a Start Date/Time field and End Date/Time field.
I am using to automatically calculate total time in hours and minutes only of an equipment outage based on a user entered start date and time and end date and time.
For example a user enters start date/time of an equipment outage as 14-Oct-12 08:12 AM and then enters an end date/time of the outage of 15-Oct-12 01:48 PM. I need a return that automatically calculates total time in hours and minutes of the equipment outage.
Thanks ChrisHi,
In JavaScript you could do something like;
var DateTimeRegex = /(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)T(\d\d):(\d\d)/;
var d1 = DateTimeRegex.exec(DateTimeField1.rawValue);
if (d1 !== null)
var fromDate = new Date(d1[1], d1[2]-1, d1[3], d1[4], d1[5]);
var d2 = DateTimeRegex.exec(DateTimeField2.rawValue);
if (d2 !== null)
var toDate = new Date(d2[1], d2[2]-1, d2[3], d2[4], d2[5]);
const millisecondsPerMinute = 1000 * 60;
const millisecondsPerHour = millisecondsPerMinute * 60;
const millisecondsPerDay = millisecondsPerHour * 24;
var interval = toDate.getTime() - fromDate.getTime();
var days = Math.floor(interval / millisecondsPerDay );
interval = interval - (days * millisecondsPerDay );
var hours = Math.floor(interval / millisecondsPerHour );
interval = interval - (hours * millisecondsPerHour );
var minutes = Math.floor(interval / millisecondsPerMinute );
console.println(days + " days, " + hours + " hours, " + minutes + " minutes");
This assumes that the values in DateTimeField1 and DateTimeField2 are valid, which means the rawValue will be in a format like 2009-03-15T18:15

Send Message alert for a time field
Hello,
I have a finish time field in a memorandum agenda form which I would like an alert (message) sent 2 minutes before the finish time expires.
The script has an error message for the "," on line 4.
var vEnd = Time2Num(ActionsEndTime.formattedValue, "HH:MM") // this is the finish time
var vSec = 2 * 60 * 1000 // time in milliseconds - which is 2 minutes
var vFinish = vEnd - vSec // take away the finish time from 2 minutes to give a new time to trigger to alert
var vcurrent = form1.ActionsHeaderFrame.DateTimeField1.formattedValue, "HH:MM") // this is the current time field
form1.ActionsHeaderFrame.DateTimeField1.execCalculate() // recalculate a hidden current time field to give the current time
if vcurrent = Num2Time(vFinish, "HH:MM") then // if the current time equals the finish time - 2 minutes then show message
xfa.host.messageBox("You only have 2 minutes to finish the agenda " ,"Reminder",3,0)
else
endif
Can anyone please advise where the formcalc script needs correcting?
Any assistance will be most appreciatedThank you for your reply.
I have modified the script as you have suggested:
var vEnd = Time2Num(ActionsEndTime.formattedValue, "HH:MM") // this is the finish time
var vSec = 2 * 60 * 1000 // time in milliseconds - which is 2 minutes
var vFinish = vEnd - vSec // take away the finish time from 2 minutes to give a new time to trigger to alert
var vcurrent = Time2Num(DateTimeField1.formattedValue, "HH:MM") // this is the current time field
form1.ActionsHeaderFrame.DateTimeField1.execCalculate() // recalculate a hidden current time field to give the current time
if (vcurrent == Num2Time(vFinish, "HH:MM")) then // if the current time equals the finish time - 2 minutes then show message
xfa.host.messageBox("You only have 2 minutes to finish the agenda " ,"Reminder",3,0)
else
endif
I need help with recalculating the current time field as the execCalculate() will update once and remain static.
This is the function in the current time field for the current time - DateTimeField1.rawValue = num2time(Time(), TimeFmt(1))
Is there a way to have the time field show like a system clock time and refresh automatically?
I think this will be the only way I can get the formcalc script to work the way it should.
Any suggestions you may have will be most appreciated. -
Prod Order's Scheduled finish time
Hi PP Experts,
Could you please advise where's Scheduled finish time (field GLUZS) in the production order coming from?
Some prod order has 24:00 and other has 23:59.
We want it as 23:59.
I changed the work centre's capacity Finish time (ENDZT), but still didn't get it right.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
ThomasHi,
2 Things:
1. Are you sure you clicked on schedule order after changing values in WC?
2. Control key ZT02 relevant for scheduling? Check in OP00
At my end, i did a small test & it works, so do a re-test at your end.
Regards,
Vivek

Also notice that active version is maintained as 1, so go intervals & shift in capacity details tab (shift + F12) & check the timings there. -
2LIS_04_P_MATNR Delta - Actual Start and Finish Dates
My company is experiencing a problem with retrieving the actual start and finish dates and times from the 2LIS_04_P_MATNR data source with delta extraction. The R/3 source system is version 4.6C. The BI system is version 7.0. Specifically, the data source fields GETRI, GEUZI (finish), GSTRI, GSUZI (start) are sometimes never populated with data. These fields are often blank in the production data extracted. It was observed that the actual delivery date for the order (posting date of goods receipt from process order) was often an earlier date than the GETRI date. This scenario was tried in test systems, and it was found that if the final goods receipt for the process order was posted before the end of the last phase was confirmed, the actual finish date and time fields were not transferred to BI from R/3. In fact, it was noted that a new record was not created in the 2LIS_04_P_MATNR delta queue when the end of the last phase was confirmed. Regarding the actual start data, this is missing if a goods receipt from the process order is posted before the start of the first phase is confirmed.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? How was it resolved?
SAP Notes have been searched regarding this problem, and in fact, a customer message has been opened with SAP for this problem. However, we thought we would try asking the community as well, to see if any other users have experienced this, and how the problem was resolved. We also understand that it may be an unusual practice to post a goods receipt from the process order before the end of the last phase is confirmed. In a more general sense, has anyone else experienced that some of the data source fields are never populated if the R/3 information is entered after the posting of the final goods receipt against the process order? Our testing indicated that no more delta records are created for the 2LIS_04_P_MATNR data source after the final goods receipt was posted.
Thank you,
Chris SopekHello,
we are experiencing your same problem! The only difference to your scenario is that wer are currently operating on SAP ECC 6.0.
Did you receive any answer from SAP?

Making a DFF field mandatory based on another field
Hello All,
We have a requirement where in we need to make a DFF field mandatory based on another field.
example:
DFF has two fields :
Filed1 : values 'Email', 'Fax'
Filed2
If 'Email' is selected in 'Field1' then Field2 should become mandatory.
Any inputs on this will be really helpful.
Thanks & Regards,
Satya.hi kumar3a,
recently, i spent considerable amount of time wracking my brain on a similar problem. the nearest i came to a solution was when i used a forms personalisation. mind you, forms personalisation will not work directly on the DFF window, so it has to be approached in a roundabout sort of way.
i got this information from an Oracle Support personnel - MOS Note 1078348.1.
i would start with the flexfield segment as "not required", and then using Forms Personalization, i would make it "required". i would try to figure out how to establish a condition where the previous 'required' flexfield segment's value is checked to see if this 'not required' segment needs to be made 'required'. in theory, this should solve the issue. i gave up on it because the forms personalisation would need to cover WHEN-VALIDATE trigger event, and we had close to 100 validations going on through other preexisting forms personalisations, which rendered it near impossible to employ this method.
best regards. -
My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
thanks.
