Period total field in my work/Task scree

I noticed that the user can enter their taks time using the Period Total field in My work/task screen. The system is equally dividing the time for the entire period. There is any way we can make thsi field read only?
Thank you

How to add total of actual in My work- Task in project server 2010.

Hello all,
I need to add total of actual in My work->Task in project server 2010.
How can I achieve it?
Your help is appreciated.

Hi Rohit,
Unfortunately, there is no configuration which allows having the actual total work in "my tasks" page. Note that you have the total for the period for each assignment in the column next to the "work" column. In case it doesn't suit
your need, I'd suggest to propose for example a simple report, otherwise a development could be quite complex and time consuming.
Hope this helps,

Modifying/Updating User Defined Field in a Scheduled Task

I've written a notification task to send an e-mail to a manager who has a contract employee with a contract that is about to expire.
Once we isolate a user who has a contract about to expire, we send a notification to the manager. The date that the notification is sent out should be stored in the USR table in a user-defined field, "USR_UDF_LASTSENT."
Updating this USR_UDF_LASTSENT field is where I'm having difficulty.
I've tried using the UserManager in a couple of ways. Suppose I've isolated a single user using SearchCriteria and the UserManager and have a single User object called "currentUser." I want to store a Date object in the user defined field "USR_UDF_LASTSENT". Date today = new Date();
I've tried: currentUser.setAttribute("USR_UDF_LASTSENT", today); //This will run without error, but when I check the DB there is no change to the attribute.
With a defined instance of UserManager userManager, I've tried: userManager.modify("USR_UDF_LASTSENT", today, currentUser); //This errored out with this error - oracle.iam.identity.exception.NoSuchUserException: IAM-3054135:No user found for the criteria USR_UDF_LASTSENT-9/24/13 2:58 PM.:USR_UDF_LASTSENT:9/24/13 2:58 PM. It looks like it's doing a search rather than a modification.
I've also tried using the entity manager in the following way:
Date today = new Date();
HashMap<String, Object> mapAttrs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
mapAttrs.put("USR_UDF_LASTSENT", today);
EntityManager entMgr = Platform.getService(EntityManager.class);
entMgr.modifyEntity("User", currentUser.getEntityId(), mapAttrs);
But it returns with this error: Failed: oracle.iam.platform.entitymgr.UnknownAttributeException: User : [USR_UDF_LASTSENT]
Is my entityType, "User" inappropriate in this case? What should be used here?
How can I Set or Update this user defined field from a scheduled task?

Thanks guys. I did go to Identity System Administration console and chose 'Export' from under "System Managment" which I believe Kevin may have been hinting at. I got an xml export of the AttributeDefinitions for our user defined fields. In this file, there was a header for the attribute I was looking for:
<AttributeDefinition repo-type="API" name="LastSent" subtype="User Metadata">
<multiValued>
<backendName>usr_udf_lastsent</backendName>
I put the string "LastSent" in place of USR_UDF_LASTSENT in the EntityManager version of my attempt at this task. I believe this is what Kevin and delhi were getting at.
This didn't work:
Date today = new Date();
HashMap<String, Object> mapAttrs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
mapAttrs.put("USR_UDF_LASTSENT", today);
EntityManager entMgr = Platform.getService(EntityManager.class);
entMgr.modifyEntity("User", currentUser.getEntityId(), mapAttrs);
But this did:
Date today = new Date();
HashMap<String, Object> mapAttrs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
mapAttrs.put("LastSent", today);
EntityManager entMgr = Platform.getService(EntityManager.class);
entMgr.modifyEntity("User", currentUser.getEntityId(), mapAttrs);
I wonder if currentUser.setAttribute("LastSent", today); would work... Hmm.

Require a formula to calc the diff between 2 running total fields in a crosstab

Post Author: PJM
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have built a crosstab in Crystal XI with the following columns:
PROFILED BUDGET (a) EXPENDITURE TO DATE (b) VARIANCE (a-b)
The profiled budget and expenditure to date columns are both running total fields. I want the variance column to show the difference between the budget and expenditure.
To set the variance field up as a running total, I assume that I would have to specify that I want this formula evaluated after the budget and expenditure fields , however, I can't work out how to do this on a crosstab.
Moving the crosstab to the report footer has had no impact.
If I try to create a basic formula using the running totals, I get the error message "A summary has been specified on a non-recurring field" - I can't find an explanation of this error message on the help menu.
Can anyone help with this please?

overtime hours are calculated after 40. If I work 12 on monday, thats 12 regulars hours. not sure about others states laws but here in wisconsin we consider overtime after 40 only, not after 8 daily. at least thats how my company calculates overtime. lets say I work 10 hours a day, monday thru thursday, thats 40 hours regular time. anything after that is overtime. our weekly work schedule starts on sunday and ends on saturday. so on my bi-weekly time log, if i work 10 hrs a day monday thru thursday, i want 10hrs each day in regular hours cell, then when i work friday and or saturday, i want those hours in overtime hours. the main problem im having is: if i reach 40 hours in the middle of a day, i want the regular of that day to end and the overtime to pick up on the same day.
here is a basic example of how i want regular and overtime to look. of course the values will be duration not just numbers. hope this helps explain what i need a bit better.

Adding time phased actual work to fixed work task with finish no later than constraint

I am using MS Project Pro 2010, no service packs are installed. I have a 40 hour fixed work task, auto scheduling is on, and I've set a finish no later than constraint 4 weeks into the future. I have assigned a single resource with assignment units of 1.0
and Project correctly determines a 5 day duration and schedules the task from the start of the project with the task start date the same as project start date and 8 hrs per day.
I switch to task usage view with the time phased time scale set to weeks (middle) and days (bottom) and add the actual work field. Calculate on edit is selected in project options. When I add 8 hours to day one (which matches the planned work), the planned
work on the last day of the duration changes to 2 hours and the remaining 30 hours is spread at 10 hrs each to the three days in the middle and the duration changes to 4.2 days. Work stays the same as expected.
The behavior I expected is that after I add the 8 hours of actual work nothing would change since remaining work is 32 hours and there are 4 days left in the schedule and the work is already scheduled for 8 hrs/day. When I continue to add actual work of
8 hours to each day, the duration continues to go down until I’m adding 8 hours past the duration. What am I doing wrong? This behavior persists whether or not I select the "move unfinished parts…” options in the project options or not. The only way to
achieve the expected result is to remove the constraint, add the actual work and then reapply the constraint. I assume I have missed an option that needs to be correctly set to achieve the expected (and desired) result. Thanks.

Thanks, Julie. I thought it was just me. The reason for the FNLT constraint is that I'm not really scheduling projects but scheduling a single multi-unit resource in a shop environment where many projects are running through at the
same time. I've set up a single resource with units equal to the number of shop personnel and I'm intentionally forcing overallocations (should there be any) by levelling and by not allowing Project to move my tasks any further than externally mandated
delivery dates. From that, I can then see where I will need to alter shop release dates, allocate overtime, hire new workers or subcontract the work. By entering actual work weekly, I can also see where I might have extra hours to use elsewhere
or vice versa. Unfortunately, a deadline will not prevent Project from moving the tasks beyond the customer provided date when leveling. This method worked fairly well in Project 2007 even though it's not really what the software was intended for.
I obviously only use a fraction of Project's capabilities. There's probably better-suited tools out there but this is the one I have and it actually does a great job at it. I'm sure I can still make it work in 2010 but it looks like I'll have to
modify my approach. I'll leave the question open a while longer and see if I get any additional feedback. If not, I'll mark it answered and move on. Thanks, again.

How To Block a User From Changing Total Field In AR Invoice

Hi all,
I would like to find out how to block a user from being able to change the total field at the bottom right hand side of the AR Invoice. Currently if a user creates an invoice and is still busy in that invoice they can adjust the total field which in turn will update the discount field as well.
Is this simply an authorization issue or am I going to have to do it in the transaction notification?
We are using SAP Business One PL 30 currently.

Hi
Please review by note again -This is by system design .
I don't know why you are so worried abt this because by setting up discount max ,if user cannot post the document ,that means it is not in the system ,no matter they change multiple times in the fields .
But I think your scenario is different ,
You are copying with certain discount from Delivery to AR invoice and i think you don't want user to change the discount field , then you can solve your issue by using approval or sp_notification
If you really want it to be greyed out ,I think you might have to go through by SDK or Boyum addon.
Thank you

I would try another restore of the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. Maybe something went wrong in the process. Make sure everything works before applying any updates and adding any hardware or software.
Then add things carefully, rebooting Windows and testing the USB and audio at each step.
Please note this.
The only info windows gives me for the sound card is that it from Microsoft... with a driver version of 6.1.7601.17514....which naturally doesn't really help me since I have no idea what card or mobo I have . Is there any way for me to find out what I need other than opening up my laptop?
Every one of them lists my mobo simply as a Toshiba motherboard, with no audio card information. Which I'm assuming that is because it has an internal sound processor. My problem is that none of the properties, or ANYTHING I try, will give me information on what I need to fix this...
All of the latest drivers for your model are easily found here. This one is for the sound.

Field symbols not working in data transfer VOFM routine

Hi,
I have been trying to set a value using field symbols, however for some reasons its not working. I am using a field symbol in a data transfer routine and the value which I am trying to set is a standard field outside the VOFM routine code.
I am trying to set a field gla_subrc which is actually a changing parameter.
The actual paramter is gn_subrc of type sy-subrc and within the form the name is gla_subrc. I need to set this changing parameter gla_subrc using the data transfer routine.
Is there a specific rule that field symbols dont work for changing paramters within subroutine or is there a specific syntax.
The syntax I am using is
ASSIGN ('(SAPLV50S)gla_subrc') to <fs>.
I also used the local program name instead of main program but still that does not work. Tried using the actual parameter as well.
Can someone please help me in this.
Thanks & Regards,
Naresh.

I need to stop outbound delivery creation against STO using vl10b transaction. The only way to stop creation is using data transfer delivery VOFM routine.
If i give an error message MESSAGE E001, this will give a hard error which is not acceptable. To avoid this, i use a perform message statment with message id and certain parameters which can displayed in a log.
However to make sure this message is displayed in log, I am clearing a work area having specific data needed for delivery creation.
Because of this clear, my error message gets captured in log but along with this another fake message is displayed in log which caused by the clear message.
The user gets confused as he now sees 2 messages, 1 which is correct and other 1 which is fake and that confuses him.
Data transfer routine is not the best place to give messages in log but we have very few options. The only way the system can give 1 message is if i set gla_subrc to 1. This is a variable which will help the system understand that the delivery should not be created as there is something wrong because the value is 1. Hence it will stop the creation and instead display whatever message i had passed to the log.
I need to somehow set this variable to 1 based on lot of analysis that has been done in the past.
Please let me know if there is any way by which we can fix this.
Thanks & Regards,
Naresh.

Field value not working as "Can grow" when exported in PDF

Hi, I have a unique problem. We have a report which is using a sub-report. When we run that report in Crystal report and preview then it looks fine. This subreport is designated as "can grow" so if the field length is bigger than the size then it is coming in the second row. Everything works fine except when we export this report in PDF.
When we export in PDF then this field is not working as "Can grow" and remaining value of the fields is truncated. This is happening both in XI and 2008 version of Crystal client.
Thanks,

Hi, This is declared as bug by Business Objects Support and Product team will decide if they want to include fix in next release (or fix). This is not possible before Dec 2009 or Early 2010.
Below are the general steps on how to apply the suggested workaround:
1. Remove the on-demand subreport caption, and add an empty string to it instead.
1.1 In the u201CDesignu201D view of the report, right click on the subreport and select u201CFormat Subreportu2026u201D
1.2 In u201CFormat Editoru201D window, under the tab u201CSubreportu201D, click on the u201CX-2u201D button of the option u201COn-Demand Subreport Captionu201D
1.3 In the u201CFormula Workshopu201D window, highlight the text in the formula, and cut it. ( Ctrl-X)
( We are just copying the text, as we need to use the samething for the formula or text object we will use to replace this. )
1.4 Type the following in the formula: u201Cu201D
1.5 Click on the button u201CSave and closeu201D, to close the u201CFormula Workshopu201D
1.6 Back to the u201CFormat Editoru201D window, click on the u201COKu201D button to accept the change.
2. Create a formula or insert a text object in which you add the text or fields you will like to display
( In the following steps we will be using a formula )
2.1 In the u201CField Exploreru201D, right click on u201CFormula Fieldsu201D and select u201CNewu201D
2.2 In the u201CFormula Nameu201D window, type the name of the formula. ( Example: My subreport caption )
2.3 In the u201CFormula Workshopu201D, copy the text you cut in step 1.3, or simply add the database fields and text you will like to display for your on-demand subreport caption.
2.4 Save and close the formula by clicking on the u201CSave and closeu201D button
3. Insert the formula over the on-demand subreport, and resize the field to be of the desired length.
4. Format the formula to display like a hyperlink. ( Blue font and underlined text )
4.1 Right click on the formula inserted in step 3, and select u201CFormat Fieldu2026u201D
4.2 In the u201CFormat Editoru201D, under the tab u201CFontu201D, set the color to blue
4.3 Still under the tab u201CFontu201D, check the u201CEffectsu201D option u201CUnderlineu201D
4.4 Under the tab u201CCommonu201D, check the option u201CCan Growu201D
4.5 Click on the u201COKu201D button to accept the change
5. Move the formula to the back in order to ensure you can drill-down on the on-demand subreport
5.1 Right click on the formula inserted above the on-demand subreport and select u201CMove u2013 To Backu201D
Now, when exporting the report to PDF format, the formula used to replace the u201Con-demand subreport captionu201D that displays more than one line will all be exported.
This workaround has following limitations:
The User can see the service description in two lines because of the u2018Text Objectu2019, the On demand subreport is not growing into the second line in the crystal report since we removed the caption.
So the user has to carefully click on the first line of the description in the main report to open the subreport. If he clicks on the second line then it wonu2019t open the required subreport and it may create confusion.
If we manually stretch out the subreport to occupy two lines space then it will leave a gap in between when we have only 1 line service description.
So plan ahead of time about how lengthy text in su-report would be.

Use of field 'StartPoint' in work order operation's 'Dates' tab

Hi,
Can someone please explain me on the uase of field 'StartPoint' on work order operation's Dates tab.
Regards.

Start point will be used in case of scheduling for the operation.
By mentioning the condition & date, while doing automatic scheduling, system will change the start date of the operation & correspondingly finish date.
Note: This will work only when Automatic scheduling is ticked for the control key.

Difference between Field symbols and work area for Internal tables

Hi,
In ECC versions we all know that we need to declare the internal tables without headerline, and for handling the internal tables we need to use exclusive work areas.
Currently i have an issue that we have been asked to use field symbols instead of work areas...can any one help me how to use the field symbols and also let me know how it will improve the performance of the program..
Thanks and Regards,
Kathir

Hi
DATA: WA TYPE ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
IF WA-FIELD = .....
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.[(code]
FIELD-SYMBOLS <WA> TYPE ANY.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
ENDLOOP.
Now the problem is you can't know the name of the fields of the table at runtime, so you can't write:
IF <WA>-FIELD = .....
ENDIF.
Anyway you can create a field-symbols strcturated like the table:
[code]FIELD-SYMBOLS <WA> TYPE ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
IF <WA>-FIELD = .....
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
I don't know which are the differences for the performance between to use a field-symbol and to use a structure as work-area.
The differnce between the field-symbols and work-area is the field-symbol is assigned directly to the record, so u don't need to do a MODIFY statament to change something:
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
WA-FIELD =
MODIFY ITAB FROM WA.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
<WA>-FIELD =
ENDLOOP.
These two pieces of abap code do the same action, so probably the field-symbol improve the performance because it do an access directly to the record without to use an external structure as workarea.

Hi,
check for your variable restrictions in the report key figures.
It will show up according to the rsctriction put there.
Try to verify the vlaues with the key figures and if they are amtching then you have some issues with the data loads.
But with your explanation it seems its just the you are looking at the wrong key figure( for actuals you are looking at previous year values)
Or you are using wrong restrcition values at the key figure level( indicators indicating prior values used for actual values).
Hope it helps
Thanks

SAP Query column sequence for Totalling fields

Hi all
We have a custom query in 4.6C in which the output displays only the total of Totaling fields maintained in the sequence Amount > Withholding Tax > Net Amount (all currency related fields).
However after upgrade to ECC 6.0, we notice that we are no longer able to sequence the output list to Amount > Withholding Tax > Net Amount
Though we maintain the Totaling fields in the sequence Amount > Withholding Tax > Net Amount , the list is generated in the sequence Amount > Net Amount > Withholding Tax and the sequence is changed accordingly in the Basic List after a test display of the Output.
Is anyone aware if the sequencing control is removed in ECC based for the Totaling Fields?
Kindly help share.
Thanks in Advance
