Hi,
I tested with without person assignment in work center, yes you can assign any person to any project if have capacity but when we distribute work in workforce planning by assignment of person with day & time then same person how can assign to other activity ,because his working hours are fixed,if working time is 8.5 hours & person assign for 8 HR to activity then same person should not work to another activity more than 0.5 hrs,system should not allow.
May i know Standard SAP allow it or not?

Is there any BAPI that can create assignment in workforce planning (CMP2)

Hello,
I want to implement a batch input program in order to create assignment in workforce planning. But the screen is not actually proper for batch input. Is there any Bapi that can create assignment for a given network, Operation/Activity, suboperation/Subactivity, personel Number and work hours.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Aselsan,
Please have a look into the below link
[Link 1|Re: BAPI to create network (T-code CJ21)]
[Link 2|Example code for BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN]
[Link 3|BAPI_NETWORK_COMP_ADD]
Hope they are useful,

Rogers is saying that IOS4 won't allow use of the personal hotspot with a plan of less than 1GB data. I say it's a policy of theirs, not an iOS restriction. Anyone know the truth?

I call BS but the tech guy was insistent that the iPhone can detect what plan I have and won't enable the feature and there's nothing they can do about it, short of selling me a larger data plan...

If a person killed someone and blamed it on a heart attack, the person is stil dead, does it matter? Either way they're dead, right... (extreme, I know, but illustrating a point)
Wow.
It is certainly Rogers policy and is not unusual at all among carriers.
Seems like a non-issue to me, but apparently being "lied to" ( perhaps the employee was simply mistaken, it happens) is a major deal to you.

Workforce planning- issue with available capacity

Hi All,
I have an issue in workforce planning. I have created a workcentre and have entered the required details in capacity tab to arrive at available capacity. The available capacity for this workcentre is visible in transaction CM01.
I have done the workforce palnning using worcentre view in transaction CMP3, but for some reason I am unable to see the workcentre avaliabile capacity. I only see the distributed total requirements.
Would appreciate any pointers on this.
Regards
Pradeesh

Regarding the availablity of CMP3, it refers the availability of assigned persons rather than the work centers.
Please check the involved person with transaction PA30 using infotype 007
(see details in consultant note 543362).
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Workforce planning in maintenance orders

Hello experts
I did already a lot of research and I made also some tests in the SAP system but I didn't find any answer to my question.
I have two work centers. Both should work for Projects and for maintenance orders or orders in general. The capacity planning and the workforce planning for projects (CMP1,3 e 9) is all clear. I have two work centers, assign them to a project and with the transactions mentioned before I can assign a person to the activity for the projects. But now I want to setup the maintenance order in a way that I'm able to make the workforce planning.
I create a new order with IW31. There I'm going to maintain a work center for the first operation. In the operation itself I maintain the work load, the date and the assignment for the person. I release and schedule the order.
Afterwards I'm able to see the requirement for this work center in the CM50.
Now my question
If I want to make the workforce planning report I can't see the assignment of the person I assigned before in the order. I can only see assignments of project activities. How can I handle this issue? Is there a change to be made on the work center or are setup some categories or profiles wrong?
I'm looking forward to get a helpful answer and I'm thanking all of you who are going to reply to this thread
Best regards

Hi,
You can use CM51 for assignments of persons in operations. I am not sure this report combines these with assignments for networks. Nevertheless, capacity evaluation can be configured in great detail in SAP. You may create your own profiles under customization for Capacity Requirements Planning and call your own evaluation profiles with CM07. Maybe you can create a report which better suits your requirement than standart reports in terms of selection and representation.
Regards.

Hi,
Just check if you assigned the person responsible in Basic data tab of the work centre in u201CIR02u201D.Also check if you have maintained partner determination for the person
In addition please check the following link if it may be of some use to you.

Workforce planning in Projects

What are the different ways of assigning people to Work Centers?
My target is to get a worklist for CAT2 transaction from project internal activities.
1. I can assign people to Work Centers in workforce planning?
2. I can assign people to Work Centers with Organizational structure?
3. Is there any infotype in HR mini-master also to set such link?
What is the best practice to get that worklist updated? I have it just empty and not sure why.
Also is it possible to do a workforce planning at the WBS-element level? If so, how?
Thank you.

Best practice is based on requirement.
Please check the customization of your data entry profile in worklist area.
If you are using workfoce planning stricly for all the project then frist is best approach. but that you have to update regularly the assignments.
2. I can assign people to Work Centers with Organizational structure?
Here you assign person, most probabaly permenanatly for long time to workcenter, so you need not to chagne.
3. Is there any infotype in HR mini-master also to set such link?
As per my knowledge there is no such infotype to set up.

Project- Builder: Person Assignement tab for Activties

Hi All,
Pls help on the following:
1.In the 'Internal' tab for activities, there is a field 'Number' where we can specify the number of capacities required. But there is no validation against this when I actually assign resources to the activity in the 'Person Assignement tab.
i.e I can assign 5 people for this activity even though I mentioned Number as 1 in the internal tab.
Is there a way to enforce a validation here?
2. Resource allocation has two different behaviour when I do through Person Assignment tab and 'WorkForce Planning' screen. Is there any specific reason for this?
3. If i want to replace the WBS actual dates by the actual dates of activity, I need to go to Edit>Reconcile Dates>Determine Actual Dates in the Project Planning Board. Can I automate this while saving the project?. I checked the user-exits and BADI - PROJECTDEF_UPDATE. But found out that the date fields cannot be updated using these. IS there some other way?
4. In the Workforce planning: Project View, Can I split the work in the duration based on my working hours from HR? Now I have to manualy do the split.
Appreciate your response on any of the above doubts.
Regards,
Remya.

Hi remya,
My reply is limited to point No.3 of your posting.
SAP's logical construct is such that WBS is more than the sum of activities assigned to it. That is why, system doesn't allow automatic updation of WBS actual dates based on confirmation of all activities assigned to it. Please remeber that the given WBS could have subordinate WBS elements with different statuses apart from the activities assigned.
Basic rule is as below:
You can maintain actual finish date for a WBS only if all the subordinate WBS elements have actual finish dates and all activities assigned to the WBS have status "Confirmed".
However, when activities are confirmed "Tentative actual finish date" is updated at WBS level which can be subsequently copies as actual dates manually.
From the above, I hope, it is clear why defaulting of actual finish dates for WBS is not permitted.
For the remaining issues in your posting I need more time.
If this clarifies the issue, please acknowledge the same.

Does anyone know how to change the default date in person assignment tab in cj20n? Currently, the system always take the scheduled finish date to the date of the person assignment tab. Can I change it to the start date?
Thanks and rgs,

Hi Michelle,
Goto SPRO->Project system->Dates->Scheduling->Specify Parameters for Network Scheduling, Here you can control the workforce planning dates.
Hope this is useful...

Activity missing in Workforce planning:project view

Dear experts,
I an caught up with the following problem:
1) I created a project with WBS and activities.
2) Created relationship between activities.
3) Created project team
When I try to perform workforce planning (project view) using transaction CMP2, some of the activities are missing in the list.
Please let me why this happens and also how to include the missing activities.
Thanks and regards

Hi
Please check following prequisites-
1.HR mini-master record (infotypes 0001and 0002).
2.Assigned work centers to the internally processed activities.
3.Entered Formulas in the work center to determine capacity requirements.
4.Scheduled the activities to generate capacity requirements.
5.Assigned only one labor capacity to a work center. (that is catagory 002)
6."Determine Cap. Check" indicator is ticked in the network header.

Workforce Planning through Portal

Hi All,
Please help me out with the issue mentioned below,
Users are accessing SAP through a portal and most of the project activities done by the Managers is through portal only. Managers are using the transaction CMP2 for workforce planning but off late we are facing a typical issue here. I would also like to bring into light that this is happening only after application of some new HR module patches. Prior to this the system was working fine.
When we try to assign a resource after selecting an activity in CMP2 transaction system pops up an information message in the portal as "First select an activity". We are not able to figure out as to why this information message is popping up even after selecting the activity. Request you to help out in this as this is hampering the process since managers are not able to assign the resources to the respective activities.

No replies. So closing the thread.

Workforce Planning for Partially Confirmed Activities

Hi All,
I have recently configured Workforce planning for one of the clients, and it has been working as per the requirement. Here, I have configured Workforce Planning profile and Scheduling parameters of Network. So, once a Project and a Network is created, User plans Personnel for this Network's activity using CMP2. Also, CATS profile is maintained in such a way that Worklist shows the Planned hours and accordingly a person can book Time against it.
Now, the problem arises after a Personnel assigned to an activity books the Timesheet. Once a Person books time against this particular Activity, it gets disappeared from CMP2 screen. Now, practical implications are that, suppose that person goes for a leave or leaves the organization and PM wants to assign another person for the same Activity (which is partially confirmed).
How can we address this issue - to perform workforce planning for Partially Confirmed activities?
Any pointers to User Exits, BADIs, BAPIs or SAP Notes are highly appreciated.

Hi Sanjeev,
Thanks for your feedback.
In CMP2, we are already checking the activity work hours. According to that only we are adding resource, then checking that resource's availability and then assigning work.
As an example, activity work duration is from 20.08.2014 to 30.09.2014. I assigned a resource A from 20.08.2014 to 30.09.2014 for 8 hours because he is available in that duration.
Now, the real problem comes when this resource is suddenly unavailable (due to any reason) and PM comes to know about this on 07.09.2014. Resource A has already booked Timesheet for the duration he has worked (20.08 to 06.09). So activity is PCNF.
So PM wants to reduce the Work assignment for Resource A from 30.09.2014 to 06.09.2014 and assign Resource B from 07.09.2014 to 30.09.2014, but he is unable to get this activity in CMP2 view because it is PCNF. Here PM can only see activities of same project which are in REL status.
So how can I enable this PCNF activity in CMP2 view.
If there is any IMG activity settings, then let me know.
If this is standard behavior and can be done through User Exit/BADI/BAPI then also let me know.

Issues in Workforce Planning

Dear Friends,
I am facing following isues in workforce planning.
1) I am not able to assign team maintained at WBSE level in assigned activities.Though the manpower maintained at Work Center is easily asigned.
2) The capacity requirement for activity as well as resource in not getting distributed, though I am using Distribution key to distribute work equally both at activity & work center level.
3) Last, once a resource has been assigned to a particular activity for a particular period, the system is still allowing allotment of same resorces to other activities during same period.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Seemant

Thanks for response.
We are maintaining WBSE team for the same WB SE to which network activity is assigned. The requirement for having a team at WBSE as well as Work Centre arises because, as per the business scenario the project may utilize resources other than that on Work Centre.
I have done all required settings & marked all relevant indicators.
Yes in I am using SAP020 Distribution Key.
For the third point that I mentioned (that you say to be standard system behaviour) I would explain again.
Once I have loaded a particular resource with work form a particular project, logically the system shall block that resource for that particular time frame (within which it is loaded). Are you saying this is standard system behaviour?
Thanks,
Seemant

Person assigned to a work center

Hi,
We are using work force planning to assign resources to activities. We have some problem with one of the work centres. When we click on the person dropdown box in the personal assignment tab then we would expect to see the individuals that are in the work centre associated with the activity. We can see six persons from project builder and when we checked work center master data we could see only four persons.
When checked thoroughly, the data at work centre master data is picked from HRP1001 and its showing only 4 persons. At the project level, the data is picked from the same table but initially fetches with work centre as input and then capacity ID as input. Finally it combines the data (6 Persons) and show from CJ20n and its different from the work centre data.
is this the standard behavior or we missing something
Regards,
Laxminarsimha

I think you have assigned two person at capacity category level for that WC.
Open your WC in CJR3 --> Click on capacity header icon -->on new screen click on HRMS link button ( check no of person assigned here it should be two )
