Ability to display multiple texts within graphic planning board Gantt chart

I have been unable to change the planning board Bar Chart Graphic Profile (OPG0 and OPG9) to be able to display both material text and a user field within the Gantt chart graphic. I have copied the SAPSFCG011 profile and created my own. The profile is displayed below from CMCH.

In addition to the profile change, I have configured the graphical object type ZJB000 (in OPG9) to look as follows:

4     KBED     Capacity requirements     A     SSSAD     Latest scheduled start: Teardown (date)     SSSAZ     Latest scheduled start: Teardown (time)
5     KBED     Capacity requirements     A     SENDD     Latest finish / date     SENDU     Latest finish / time
6       AFVG    Order operation                       USR08    User field for date
I have found that the 2nd text field (USR08) must be added as the last step (#6). When I had it as #1, the planning board did not display the USR08 value.
Now both are displayed in the Gantt chart graphic. However, it is difficult to see this long string of data as the bars in the Gantt chart may not be long enough to display the data.
Therefore we would like to use the "hover over" text which is displayed in the status line at the bottom of the screen. We have tried using both the Info Text and the Quick Info options within the Bar Chart: Options Profile (OPG0). Only the first text (the material descirption) is dislayed within either the Quick Info or the Info Text.
Is it possible to have multiple object values appear in Quick Info or Info Text? Or is it possible to control which text is displayed in the Quick Info or Info Text?
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated, as this is a make-or-break issue for the business to use the planning board. Thank you!

I'm also looking for a standard customizing alternative to do the same thing.
Still, if you're interested, I've already done it successfully with user exit PLAT0001.
Hope this helps.
Best regards.

Scheduling comparision in Gantt Chart- Project planning board

Hi All,
I Need to use the "Scheduling comparision" in Project planning board gantt chart. This is to compare the original status of activities before and after scheduling.
But the "Scheduling comparision" button in the PPB does'nt seem to work.
( I am selecting the activity and then pressing the button for"display original status" )
How do I use this functionality?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Potluri Srinivas ,
After some tests, I still donot get, how does this functionalties work either.
I assume, it is linked with the setting in 'option' -> 'planning board' -> 'diagramm area' -> 'orginal schedule'. But I donot know, how the two things linked directly.
If you find it out, please post it.
Thanks and regards,
Zhenbo

Viewing CO versions in project planning board

Hello,
I have saved two CO versions of my project. When i go to the project planning board the approved plan column is full of data and looks great but the other version as no information. I have SAPALL so this isn't an authorization issue. Can someone please help me work out was is wrong?
Thanks a lot
Jason

Hi,
Basically there are possibilities of creating Plan version.
1) one you can create in CJ40 by manually feeding the Version ex:0,1,2 etc....
2) create one version in CJ40 and copy the same to another version in CJ9BS.
once the versions are created make the changes of values in the respective versionand save the changes.
Please check the version comparission in S_ALR_87013539 - Project Version Comparison: Plan.
Comming to plan board which fields did you picked up for comparission?

Hiding the Optimizer button from the DS planning board

Hi
How to hide the optimizer button from the DS planning board ..
Thanks

Hi Chak
I think the problem may be with a livecache inconsistency. The Planning Board should be reading it's information from the livecache, whereby the Product View may be getting it's situation from the database. Try running the livecache consistency checks if it occurs again.

Reason for delay on the DS planning board grafic

Dear SAP Fans
Have you done any development on the DS planning board to show reason of the delay of a planned order?
We are implementing PP/DS and this is a hard requirement for the acceptance. The users have another schedule system with this functionality, when an order is delayed you can see the reason in the chart by clicking on the delayed order. When they see the reason they can see all the constraints that prevent the optimizer to schedule the planned order in an early date, for example:
- Order 0001 is delayed to 15.04.2011 because;
         - Reason 1: Machine A is unavailable up to 30.03.2011
         - Reason 2 : Componente 0001-01 have purchase order scheduled to 15.04.2011
         - Reason 3 : PRT is under maintenance up to 10.04.2011
With this information on hand the user can take some actions to antecipate the order in case this order is causing delay on a priority A customer order. For example the actions could be:
          - For reason 1, rearrange orders in the machine to schedule the order in an early date.
          - For reason 2, negotiate with supplier an early delivery date.
          - For reason 3, negotiate with plant maintenance to accelerate it.
Maybe something related to look for the delay log of a specific order.
Appreciate any insight.
Thanks and BR

hello,
first check the operations of the order.
right click on the produce operation and navigate to Order Processing.
In the order tree open all nodes for operations.
Is the set up activity visible there?
If yes doble click on the activity.
does the set up activity have a duration?
If yes check the status of the set up activity.
go back to the planning board.
in the menue select extras-> Legend
a pop-up with the graphical objects is displayed.
Check the graphic objects for the activity status you read before.
did you change the customizing settings for the graphic object?
If yes check them again or reset them to the default SAP settings.
I had a similar problem with a set up activity when I wanted to change the color of the activity according to the set up group. I changed the settings in the customizing Maintain Planning Board Profiles.
It is very difficult to maintain the decision table for graphical objects.
If you did this recheck the decision table.
Go back to the SAP default settings and check the planning board again.
Are the set up acitvities displayed now?
Then the porblem is with the decision table.
rethink every step again.

Actual Time bar for the activity duration in Gantt Chart

Hi all,
The Actual time bar for the elapsed activity duration in Gantt chart is not appearing. The same is true for all the activities i.e. activities which are not yet confirmed and activities which are partially confirmed.
Is there any customizing for the same? ( I am getting the bar in IDES, but not in DEV/QAS/PRD )
Any Help in this regards will be highly appreciated
Warm regards,
Srinivas Potluri

Hai Srinivas
Got the solution.
1)For this first check in the project profile of the Hierarchry graphic -
Time scheduling profile - check the colour patterns which been assigned.
2)open the project - Cj20N - go to planning board - bar chart - under settings - Planning board assistant - Gantt chart - check the dates display for Project definition , WBS , Acitivity - try to change the colour and check.
while changing can see - basic date of the acitivity. based on the confirmation can see the bar confirmed activity with respect to basic date. the bar confirmation will show withrespect to duration.
3) If the bar chart need in daily /hourly - can check in CNE5 . click on the graphics -bar chart - which u will get the bar chart - in this choose the Time Axis - where can select the monthly /weekly/daily /hourly format .
Award points if clear and got the solution.
Regards
