Network activity confirmations

1) Hi guys please advise is it possible to avoid (by means of error ) the second confirmation of an activity whihc was already fully confirmed and completed.
2) The milestone once it has received an actual date should not be possible to change the first actual date. So may be is it possible to get the field greyed out after doing the actual postings to milestone.I am not using the confirmation by means of a percentage completion of milestone and activity, instead my scenario requires the confirmation manually.
3) How can we control that the milestone actual date should not be less than 3 days of the system date.
The issue is important and urgent .Kindly advise
Thanks
RKS

Hi,
Thanks once again.
I have been trying the SPRO and Enhancements listed under Confirmations node, but have a feeling that they may work for controlling network activity confirmation and not for milestones.
Can you please confirm if these can work to control the milestone actual dates as per my requirement i.e. the actual dates once posted manually to milestone should not be possible to be changed.
Kindly let me know of any other enhancement or exits if you are aware.
Thanks and Regards
Rajeev

Cancellation of network activity confirmation

Hi,
Can any one please tell me how do i undo a network activity confirmation.
somesh.n

Saving not necessary - no confirmations were created
this is the error i get when i enter and save. I have confirmed an activity three times. Each time i have confrimed 1 hour of the total planned hours.
when i select the item and exectute it i dont get any pop up for reasons.
Also another issue regarding the same is i have confirmed an activity with the cost as 'x' and then i have changed the cost in kp26 to 'y'. kinldy let me know if the cost which has been changed shall be updated to the confirmed activity or the actual cost should remain the same as per the old cost.

Network activity confirmation

Dear Experts,
I am triggering a workflow when activity is confirmed in CJ20N. Confirmed, Manually confirmed, Partially confirmed are the start events of my workflow. I tested the workflow in sandbox. In SWEL tcode i can see only confirmed event is triggered. I am getting one workitem for confirmed event.
I transported the same workflow to quality and tested there. But in SWEL tcode i can see all three events are triggered twice for same scenario. As a result i am getting 6 workitems. Can you please tell me reason for this.
KR,
S Bharath

Dear Swami,
Thanks a lot for all your inputs. I have solved the problem.
Reasons for why I got more workitems in quality.
1. In BSVW tcode I put three entries for confirmed, manually confirmed and partially confirmed events
2. For doing activity confirmation in CJ20N there will be 2 steps first create the activity save it and then open activity again and confirm it and save it. As you see I will click save button twice for the confirmation process
3. BSVW tcode responds to every change in CJ20N tcode. So first time when I create activity and save 3 workitems for 3 events in BSVW are created. When I confirm activity and save again 3 more workitems are created so totally 6 workitems.
4. I removed the BSVW entries and opted for BADI WORKORDER_CONFIRM.
5. In method BEFORE_UPDATE of this BADI i inserted the below code. Note: This method will be called only when the user clicks save button after confirming the activity.
type-POOLs: cobai.
data: AFVC_NETW TYPE SWETYPECOU-OBJTYPE,
      EVENT     TYPE SWETYPECOU-EVENT,
      OBJKEY    TYPE SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY,
      lv_aufpl TYPE afrub-aufpl,
      lv_aplzl type afrub-aplzl,
      wa_aafvc type afrub.
READ TABLE it_confirmation into wa_aafvc INDEX 1.
lv_aufpl = wa_aafvc-aufpl.
lv_aplzl = wa_aafvc-aplzl.
CONCATENATE lv_aufpl lv_aplzl into objkey.
if sy-tcode = 'CJ20N'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
      EXPORTING
        OBJTYPE                       = 'AFVC_NETW'
        OBJKEY                        = OBJKEY
        EVENT                         = 'Confirmed'.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.
ENDIF.
This perfectly solved my problem and now I am getting only one workitem.

Workflow for network activity confirmation CN25

Dear Experts,
In CN25 tcode for network i am giving the input and pressing save button. In that tcode there are three activity status namely partial confirmation, manual confirmation and confirmation i.e PCNF, MCNF and CNF. I am using BO AFVC_NETW to trigger my workflow. As per workflow design i have given CNF, PCNF, MCNF as starting events. So when any one of the status gets from CN25 my workflow will trigger. Also at a time only one status has to be set. But when i press save button in CN25 its triggering all the three statuses. This is quite surprising. How are three statuses set at same time ? So three workitems are generated for all three start events.
I used SWU_OBUF and checked again but still all three statuses are set. Is it problem with BO or problem with Project System (PS) if any for that tcode.

Dear Experts,
Can you please help me out in this regard. I hope my requirement is clear.

BAPI for Network activty confirmation.

Dear All,
I am using BAPI "BAPI_NETWORK_CONF_ADD" for network activity confirmation. When I am entering the activity data and running this function module, I am getting system message network confirmation is saved and also get a confirmation number. But when I look at AFRU (confirmaiton table), I can not see this number, also same is not reflected on the network activity.
Has anybody came across the error like this ? What can be the probalbe reasons for this ? I am using version 4.7 here.
Thanks in advance !
Regards,
Mahendra

Mahendra, there is a blog available on how to use BAPI in PS, it shows in steps what are the necessary step to be carried out for executing the BAPI like BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT evern with a sample code, you can search for it, the details are available.

Activity Confirmation workflow

Dear Experts,
I am using BO AFVC_NETW for network activity confirmation workflow. The start events of workflow are confirmed, partially confirmed, manually confirmed. I made a zcopy of the BO AFVC_NETW and added these 3 events and delegated the Zbusiness object. Once the wf triggers i have user decision step assigned to first level approver. If he approves it then i have one more user decision step. if second level approver also approves it i complete the workflow.
When I confirm the activity using tcode CJ20N two events of my wf are getting triggered which i saw in SWEL.
I expect to get only one workitem for first level approver. But i am getting 2 workitems instead of one. Can you please tell me why i am getting more than work item. Am i getting 2 workitems due to the reason that two events of my wf are triggered or am i missing something. I have no loop step in my wf.
KR,
S Bharath

Hello,
Two events are being created. If they both act as triggers for the workflow, then you will get two workitems.
If you really need both events as starting events then perhaps you should create a start condition that checks if there's already a workflow instance running with the same object key.

Status of WBS element triggering confirmation of network activity ?

Hello,
Can you please let me know if the following requirement could be solved using workflow in PS module :
Setting of 'Fully invoiced' status (FNBL) on WBS element in CN02 transaction should trigger the confirmation of network activity (transaction CN25).
How this possibly could be done using workflow ?
Regards, Wieslaw

Hi,
   its possible to raise a workflow on Setting of 'Fully invoiced' status (FNBL) on WBS element in CN02 transaction .
BOR: bus2054
Do status managemnet to raise a evnt of this BOR ( BSVW ).
In the work flow in one of the method of extended BOR,
    do the confirmation of network activity thru some bapis,etc.
For confirmation:
   BOR: PSAFRU method:    NetworkConfirmation.Create
   check if this is helpfu
create an instance of this nd check if this method helps.

Progress Analysis, Plan/actual % comparision based on activity confirmation

hello guyz,
I have to monitor the project progress based on activtiy confirmation, can anyone guide how can i see progress of project based on percentage with plan/actual dates comparison.
The business scenario is:
One top level WBS under which 2 WBS assign, each 2nd level WBS have one network assigned. The second level WBSE represent individual site where i have to perform various internal activities without cost involvements, only dates and number of durations to be maintained in each internal activity with finish start relationship.
The structure is:
Root WBS (level 1)--SITE 1 WBS (level 2)--
SITE 2 WBS (level 2)
> (Network 001) -
> (Network 002)----
> 001 0010 (1st Internal activity 2 days) -
> 002 0010 (1st Internal activity 2 days)-
> 001 0010 (2nd Internal activity 4 days) -
> 002 0010 (2nd Internal activity 4 days)-
> 001 0010 (3rd Internal activity 1 days) -
> 002 0010 (3rd Internal activity 1 days)-
> 001 0010 (4th Internal activity 3 days) -
> 002 0010 (4th Internal activity 3 days)-
In the above project structure i have entered the start planed dates for each network / site. The system automatically calculate the planned end dates after scheduling.
In execution phase, i have also maintained actual dates on activity confirmation only.
Now i need assistance to see the project progress for each network site.

the problum is still there kindly provide assistance...

Activity confirmed quantity by period

Hi,
How to find Actual quantity confirmed at Network Activity by period. Any standard report available in Project System (apart from CN48N using filter on Created On fiield) ? if not please mention tables to be refered. Objective is to find quantity billed out of quantity confired at Network Activity for a given period.(Note: RRB is not being used).
Thanks,
Mohan

Use CN41, select activities, then Goto>Periodic Breakdown, now pull fields Work, ACtual work, Remaining work in the report, now you will see the work data period wise, i.e., in what period how much work was planned and completed.

Consideration of network activity factory calender

Hi,
I am facing problem regarding considering of factory calendar.
scenario: we are assigning the personnel nos in person assignment tab in internal activity. confirmation of activities will be done through CATS. at the time of confirmation it is considering the calender given in work scheduling in HR master data rather considering the factory calendar of network activity.
i require how to select the factory calendar of network activity rather selecting the calendar from work scheduling of HR data.
With Regards
Prasanth.N

Hi Prashant,
This is solution for PS without HR integration..............Please do the following steps:
1. Create a person responsible using OPS6
2. Assign a desired factory calender in the particular activity at internal tab of the activity.
3. Then Plan your work and save and release.
4. Then do the confirmation in CATS
Hope it will be clear now. Appreciate if it is useful
Thanks and Regards

Automatic Material Issue on Activity Confirmation

Dear All,
I am trying to setup the system so that on internal activity confirmation material assigned to the activity is automatically Issued to the WBS.
Issue:
BS, but when i confirm the activity system does not issue the material automatically when stock is available as unrestricted stock in the correspondign WBS.
When there is stock available in the Storage location mentioned in CJ20N for the material automatic GI happens on activity confirmation.
Can you please let me know why is system not issuing the material available as unrestricted stock on the corresponding WBS??
Warm Regards,
Jatinder

Dear Gokul, Srikant,
Fine i can use CN25 for confirmation.
Requirement is that i want to track stock on WBS level, and then issue it to Network/Activity from WBS stock? is this not possible via activity confirmation??
Is it that if i want to automatically post GI on activity confirmation, it is not possible from Project/WBS stock?
Warm Regards,
Jatinder

Actual Cost not updating to Network Activity from CATS

Dear All,
Am back here for the expert suggestions / guidance.
I am facing issue with respect to system not updating the actual cost in network activity / projects posted through time sheet i.e. CATS. I have planned my resource cost through work centre assigned with activity type, formula and cost centre. I have kept the employee master data in place with maintaining the 315 infotype. In CAT2 i am posting the respective time sheet on the particular network activity and am transferring the cost into projects by CAT5, the plan cost is getting updated but actuals are not hitting the projects.
Kindly do the needful and suggest me if am missing something out of the track
Thanks
Praveen Mohanachary

HI Gokul,
There wasn't any error during confirmation and i have also checked in CN30 as well as COFC transaction. It is posting the time and the activity is getting the PCNF status set but there isn't any actuals posted. I used CATA for some activity and also used CAT5 for certain activity both are not posting actuals on projects.
Thanks

Network activity stalls

I've searched to try to find these symptoms mentioned anywhere else online, but to no avail, so I decided to post here. I have a Powerbook 12" G4, 1.33GHz, 1.25MB, that will stall all network activity from time to time, and it's getting increasingly worse. I've eliminated everything I can think of to isolate the problem. It's plugged directly into a High Speed modem now through an ethernet cable, firewall on, bypassing the wireless router. The problem persists. I think I can safely say the problem is in the Powerbook. Whether it's a hardware or software problem, I just don't know. Oh yeah, I've tried using it on two networks, two different ISPs, using two different modems, and the problem persists.
Before, when I was surfing wirelessly through the Airport card, I found that turning Airport on and off (menubar) would often work, but not always. Now that I'm hardwired, I'm leaving the Network Preference pane open in order to hit "Renew DHCP Lease" whenever it stalls, and that works most times, but not always. It will "usually" fix itself if I wait long enough. (BTW, I've hit that button 3 times in the last few minutes while surfing discussions.apple.com. It's like the Powerbook has temporarily forgotten where the net is - amnesia)
Observations:
* Sometimes, not always, the CPU useage pegs at 100% while it's stalled. (What's it doing?)
* Non-apple software, that might be contributing to the problem, are the aggregators I've started using. Apple's own ITunes is the one I use for podcasts. Democracy Player (video) and Vienna (newsfeeds) are the other two. They send out multiple requests simultaneously during a refresh. I've witnessed downloads, in progress at the time using another program, completely stop when I do a refresh with any of those aggregators. I've seen the network stall many times, using ITunes too, and the feeds time out instead of refreshing.
* I'm using Firefox for the web. As mentioned, it will stall while surfing regularly. Some files downloaded with Firefox have stalled, and they do NOT resume the download afterwards. I've had to start them over again.
* BitTorrent usually works fine all the way through a download, as long as I leave it alone. However, I've watched aggregator refreshes kill torrent downloads that were in progress, cutting connections to all peers. I don't think BT is causing the problem, but it is being affected.
I reinstalled the system a few days ago (archive and install) and then updated to 10.4.8 through software update. It stalled two times while downloading those updates too, while the computer was NOT attended. Sigh. The half-finished downloads did NOT resume, they had to started over from scratch.
I don't know what else I can add to this.
Hitting "Renew DHCP Lease" while it's stalled, will often "unstall it" and then it finishes what it started. But not always.
I want to reiterate that the stalls are not entirely consistent, that sometimes everything works fine. It's just that the problems seem to be related to these actions, like there's something that's not quite up to the task, not every time. That's how it seems to me. It's frustrating.
Suggestions, comments, and confirmation from others with similar issues, would be welcome. Can anyone suggest or point me to a fix?
thanks

Update:
2) I pulled the Airport card and cleaned the contacts
with a pencil eraser and reinstalled. Then I noticed
the power plug has a flange on the centre pin that
compresses. I took a butter knife and spread the
flange contacts apart, just a bit, and then plugged
it in. (The thinking being that the centre pin
contact was too loose, and therefore, possibly,
unable to power the card under full load
conditions.)
Update 2:
Well, I'm 99% sure the procedure above solved my network dropout problems while using Airport (wireless). I mistakenly called this plug the power plug, when apparently it's the antenna plug. Whoops!! It worked out to the same difference though. Poor contact from the centre pin was reducing the card's effectiveness. It's rock solid now.
My other network problems turn out to be related to the new ISP. I think their modem is flaky. It's a 30 day trial, so I'm returning it and getting a replacement. I've been surfing problem-free with the old ISP, now that Airport is fixed, but the new ISP (modem) is still giving me many network problems, that completely disappear when I switch back.
For anyone interested, I'm testing Rogers Portable Internet (available in Canada). It's an early version of WiMax and it looks promising. I recently read where some hotels are charging outrageous small fortunes for conference room net access. This simple device could literally kill that as a profit centre. Just plug the modem into any electrical outlet and you're online. It's 1.5 Meg down, 256K up, and at about the same price as regular High Speed dsl or cable. That's not too shabby. (...if it works as it should.)
