MS Project 2010 Start dates change automatically

Hi,
I hope someone can help with this project problem, its driving me insane!
I have a set of activities which have a start date of 01/09/2014, there are no predecessors to these tasks but there are successors, and a date constraint date (the project start date is 16/06/2014, and these tasks cannot start until 01/09/2014).
When I mark the tasks as 100% complete the dates do not change (as expected), however once I have saved the file and closed it, something weird happens. When I reopen the file the start date (not baseline start) of these tasks has changed to the project
start date (16/06/2014). The % complete is still reading 100% complete and the task finish date has remained the same.
These tasks are milestones and have no duration.
Another aspect that I have discovered is when I take out the % complete (and it returns to 0%), the start dates change back to 01/09/2014.
Can anyone tell me if I have a setting somewhere which I need to change as its driving me insane, the more tasks that are marked as 100% complete, the more tasks I have that change to the project start date, so the problem is getting worse as the days go
on!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Do you have the Project Status date set correctly, and is it set for the correct date? If its set back in June and under File, Options, Advanced the Move flags are selected you would get the behaviour you mention.

Purchase Order Statistical Delivery Date changed automatically

Hi,
In the purchase order, when I go to change the delivery date, the statistical delivery date changed automatically.
I do not want to change the statistical delivery date.
Is there any User Exit or BADI to validate this?
Please suggest the same.
Regards
Amol Khochare

Hi
Is the delivery date get copied to statistical delivery date ?
For validation, please check BADI - ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST and Method - PROCESS_ITEM
From the interface - IF_PURCHASE_ORDER_ITEM_MM use method GET_SCHEDULES and subsequently from the interface IF_PURCHASE_ORDER_SCHEDULE_MM use method - GET_DATA to get schedule line details.
Let us know, if it helps.

Process order date changes automatically while saving the order

Hi All,
While creating a process order in COR1, system proposes the scheduled start date and finish date as current date (today's date), but while saving the order, the dates automatically changes to previous day's date (one day before). Can any one help in what config change needs to stop this auatomatic date change..? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
DS.

Dear,
I would suggest you to carrout Master reciepe scheduling and update the Inhouse production time to the material master, this would enable the basic start dates and sheduled start dates to be same.
If you dont want to carrout scheduling of order, then in OPUZ transaction for the plant/order type combination deactivate the check box for automatic scheduling.

Warranty Start Date Changes

my iMac wasnt purchased from an apple store and from an online retailer. It turns out the warrranty start date is showing as when the retailer purchased it and not me. I was advised by apple local store at genius bar to send an email to [email protected] to advise on this and that the warranty start date would be amended.
this was over a week ago and Ive still not heard back so dont know if its been updated or not. I did ask for them to let me know as my iMac needs an urgent repair.
anyone had this sort of problem?
thanks

Equipment Master data changing automatically

Dear All,
this is weird but our SAP system is changing equipment's master data once it is created.
we have blocked all the possible chances of using T code "IE02-EQUIPMENT MASTER DATA CHANGE" at user end.
we are finding it very difficult to track because every time the equipment's action log displays new SAP ID's . we have checked with same ID but any where it is not possible for that user to have an authorization for IE02
it mainly changes the master data such as description/Manufacturer/Model number etc into some weird information. and this is happening at any time where in some cases it has been found that at 3:00 am or 4:00 am. we had also checked any background job is running at same timing but we couldn't found out any such case and this is happening without any prior notice so it is difficult for us also to monitor the same
if you have gone through same experience please share with us.
thanks

Kiran,
I fee that you must investigate through table CDHDR. Run Tcode SE16 --> Give value CDHDR --> Enter.
Here input values as under ( OBJECTCLAS, OBJECTID, USERNAME) and Execute.
In the output, you observe the values of fields TCODE, UDATE. You will come to know whether these changes are happening through IE02 or some other Tcode.
Also you should try without giving the USERNAME also. In this case you will get the lines of both normal changes and surprise change also in the output, where you are likely to find out what is happening.
In a similar way, you can investigate through table CDPOS also.

How to track changes in Start date

Hello Everyone,
Currently I am facing a new issue (requirement from management) that they want to track the activity start date change and generate a trend report on that so we cna display it to client that this many activities changed this times.
To give you the overview, currently we are working on Asset Renewal project where there is no fix scope it comes as per priority. And unfortunately priorities get changed as well.
So as an example originally we may have planned a particular activity on 04/08/14 acording to priority and then we get the new date and plan it again for 20/07/14 then we get our possession request knocked back and replan it to 20/08/14 then we encounter a problem from supplier and we replan it to 25/08/14. So this is just a scenario I have given but it changes say atleast 10 time before it gets executed.
So I know traditional way in primavera to capture the change is maintain baselines but that would not be applicable in my case as I have hundreds of sites in 1 program and they change as i explained above so is there any way I can track that changes in primavera or any other way available. i am really open for all suggestion including new softwares or exporting to Microsoft Excel.
I have tried my best to explain this situation but if you require any further info please let me know.
Thanks in advance

Pl take a look at the Std Report RPUAUD00 used for Infotype Logging. The Report Documnentation details the steps needed to turn the logging for the PA infotypes, which in your case could be 0167,0168,0169 etc..

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

Hi
As per your query screen variant is the better option to be choose so that here you can go with user id based restriction

Start date personnel number infotype 0002 (Personal data)

Hi gurus,
I have the following problem in SAP ECC6.
I created a personnel number with transaction PA40 with start date 200208.
In infotype 0002 (Personal data), after that I have filled various field, if I save, the start date changes from 200208 to 01011900.
Could you help me please?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Raffaele

Hi
Adding to what Mr. Sai Naraynan has said.
See whatever happening at your end is absolutley correct you have to understand the logic behind that.
See Personal data infotype will contain the master data of an employee like name, ***, complete name, form of address etc... whuich is same from his birth so there is no need to have a validity starting from the date of hiring because this data is same from his birth thats why system automatically stamps a Birth date out there.
Hope it clarifies your doubt.

Start Date/Birth Date in IT0002

Hi,
when we create info type 0002(Personal data) in pa40.
and then when we go back and look at that info type the START DATE IS AUTOMATICALLY GETTING CHANGED TO BIRTH DATE,(even if we give different start date and birth date,while creating)
Please tell me where the problem could be in the system.
Thanks in Advance
Gopi

A Business I can think of for this kind of design (Please give your candid feedback):
<b>1. Why Birth Date is defaulted as start date in IT0002?</b>
There are several businesses where massive hiring is a constant process. At the same time, company seldom knows when the person would actually start his work with them. (Ex: GE hires on a regular basis worldwide. A potential employee may say that he would start his work on 1st of September but he cannot guarantee.)
In this case, the best bet is to give the personal data IT0002 the Birth Date as Start Date and change it the next "certain" date.

Advanced Benefits:Dependent Coverage Start Date

Hi,
I have a an employee with the following life events.
Intially the Employee has Employee Only Option
1) 28-Feb-2010 -- New Child --> Emp+Children --> Child Cvg Start Date --28-Dec-2010
2) 01-JAN-2011 -- Open --> Emp+ Children --> Emp CVg Start Date -- 01-Jan-2011 and Dep Cvg Start Date 01-jan-2011
3) 01-APr-2011 -- Marriage --> Emp+Family --> The Cvg start date of the Child is Changed to 01-APr-2011 and the Employee CVG start date also changed to 01-apr-2011
I am curious to find why did the child coverage start date changed to 01-APr-2011 and we have added spouse only in the marriage life event and changed the
option from Emp+Children to EMp-Family
Thanks for any input.
regards,
A

Hi Shivam,
You have mentioned previously that Ct. is triggering the Gain Dep. LE by adding a new dependent child. This means that the person already had a life event in started status which enabled the Family Member page and allowed the user to add a dependent.
If so, then there might be a Collapsing Logic defined between the Current LE[Say New Hire or Open] and the Gain Dependent. [I have seen this setup with most of the Ct.'s].
So, there is a good chance that instead of the Gain Dependent, the Current LE will be reprocessed and hence is taking the setup of Current LE instead of GD.
You can confirm the LE processed in the Current Benefits page.

After Changing the start date for a task in a project we are not able to save

Hi
When we are updating the task start date of a particular task the below message is poping up in Project Professional and when we trying to update in Pwa and saving it automatically the save is becoming undone.
We are logging in with that user credentials and checking where the user has not charged any actuals on that task.
Then a message pops up saying:
"The actual work in "xxxx" is out of sync with the actual work updated from timesheets. Actual work can only be updated by team members through PWA. Changes you have made to users' actual work will be lost during the save."
Can any body throw some light on the above issue.
Thanks
Geeth If you feel that the answer which i gave you is Helpful please select it as Answer/helpful.

It seems you have enabled the option in server setting >> task Settings and Display >> Protect User Updates>> for restricting updates to PWA only ? this is one cause when this error message appears when the update restriction is to PWA
and PM tries to modify the Plan, the only exception to this is milestones which can be updated via Proj pro,
this being the case becomes a conflict when you say updates can be done only via PWA and try to overwrite the actual via MSP
