Project Effective from Date

Hi,
As soon as i create a new project using Project quick entry screen,the key member for project manager "effective from date" is getting set automatically which is not providing the actual project start date...when i try to alter it..itz not allowing the same employee name...
how can i overcome this issue...plz help me
thanks a lot in advance

Hi Preety,
When u create new project then in setup quick entry page u define project manager
if ur project start date and project manger date is different then your project is not approve
if u want to overcome this solution then u assign other project manger give the start date as your project date above in your eg. you must define project manger as 1 - jun -2010 and give the end date of this project manger as 15 - jun -2010 and assign your project manger to 16 - jun -2010 so your new project manger which is assign in 16 - jun - 2010 it's effected after 15 - june - 2010
in project module project start date and project manager date must be require same without this u can not approve your project.
nil

Wants to change the validity from date in BOM

Hi,
We have created BOM by mentioning valid from date 21.08.2018.
Now we need to change that valid from date 21.08.2018 to 21.08.2008.
How can we do that?
thanks/regards

Hello,
If you are creating the BOM wr.to change number & if the change number date is lying in future. System allows you to change the effective from date for the ECN, which in turn BOM effective date also get change automatiocally. T code CC 02 for changing the date through ECN

Carrying motion effects from 30fps to 24fps project for online

I'm working on this program where they transfered their dailies footage to HDCam, then they downconvert their dailies to DVCam letterbox with burns. There are some effects (split screen, crop) on the motion window and now it's time for the online and the effects look all out of place. The cuts are at the right spots, but the placement in the screen is out of whack. They are all on top of one another and squezzed in.
Let me explain the shot: 3 people all talking but each one of them is in a diferent split screen, then all 3 of them show up. 1 person occupies the top left, the other one the top right and the last one at the bottom of the screen.
The DVCam downconvert of the masters are lettebox with burns, and it seems that the effects won't apply to the HD online since all the effects look squeezed together (like it was made for 4:3 instead of 16:9)
Now, my question, does anyone know how to transfer the effects from a 30 fps project to a 24 fps project? More specifically, how do I transfer the effects made on the "motion" windows to work on an 23.98 timeline.
Thank you in advance for your help.

The red & white checkerbox means that in the rendering process it cannot find the media.
Strange why this happens on only two instances though
Have you tried trashing your prefs and repairing permissions.
Could you render directly out of Motion and then drop the movie into FCP?

How to remove flicker effect from screens / projections?

Hey,
I wondered if there's an option within Premiere Pro CC ( or AE) to remove flicker effects from screens and projections. I attached a jpg as an example of such a projection. Here is an anti flicker option in Premiere Pro, but it doesn't seem to have an effect on my problem.
Cheers

You need to shoot scenes like that using a camera that allows Synchro-Scan, which can adjust the cameras scanning rate to that of the display in the shot. Any mismatch between camera and siaplay is what causes the flicker, and Synchro-Scan is the only way to correct it without entirely removing the screen from teh shot and replacing it with another, usually via After Effects.

'Latest Start Date' & 'Effective Start Date' are displayed as different

Issue Background:
I have told following steps to follow while creating an employee to my end users.
Case: An employee record has to be entered on 02-05-2012 who joined on 01-01-2010.
Steps to be followed:
- Enter the basic details of the employee (on 'People' form) / Left the 'Effective Start Date' and 'Latest Start Date' as default date i.e. 02-05-2012
- Ctrl + S
- Click on 'Assignment' button
- Enter Basic Assignment information (The effective date on Assignment form is being displayed as '02-05-2012')
- Ctrl + S / Close the assignment form
- Change the 'Latest Start Date' = 01-01-2010
- Ctrl + S / Some warnings appear and then the record is saved.
My end user created at least 100 employees following the same procedure.
Issue:
With at least 5 employees there is a case that when I query those employees I am able to see a different Effective Start Date (i.e. 01-01-2010) and Latest Start Date (i.e. 02-05-2012). And when I open the assignment form the effective date displayed there is '02-05-2012' as well. ....Means some how in these records the assignment is created for these employees starting from 02-05-2012..rather than 01-01-2010.
When I try to change the Latest Start Date to 01-01-2010 then system shows me this error --> '_APP-PAY-06841: Person changes exist between the old date and new date._'
I don't know EITHER how this case was produced while entering the date OR what is the solution of this problem.
Can any body help in this regard?

Thanks for your response Avinash.
Btw, I have viewed all these notes 368289.1, 603233.1, 399056.1, 329692.1, 1146414.1 already, but these don't seem to solve my problem because in each of these are under assumption that the initial Joining Date of the employee (i.e. Effective Start Date and Latest Start Date) is entered correctly without an issue, and these notes talk about dealing with 'Updating or Correcting' the data.
But In my case the pre-conditions are different, although those are making the system to respond in the same way (i.e. showing same error) some how.
As far as deleting the employees is concerned, yes that could be one option, but I am not really sure about adapting this solution as the dates I used in my case were just example dates, and in actual these employees are created almost 1 month back and they are already used in Projects module, CRM module and others.

Trying to update Project scheduled finish date - newbie help needed!

Guys, I am super new to Oracle Projects, I have never used it before. I've just learned a few things in the UI and read through the docs documenting the stored procs. My question is simple (hopefully) In the UI I choose a responsibility, then under "Projects : Delivery" I choose "Search Projects", I enter the Project ID in the field and click Go, I am able to see all the project details and the Tasks. No problem there! What I would like to do through the Update_Project API is to change the "Scheduled Finish Date" of the Project.
I have the following information that I have managed to scrape up:
Project_id, Responsibility_id, User_id, Resp_Appl_Id
I retrieved the project id using:
         Select project_id,name from pa_projects_all
          where name = 'My Project';
So first I call set_global_info with the appropriate parameters, then this:
    -- SET GLOBAL VALUES
     pa_interface_utils_pub.set_global_info(
     p_api_version_number => 1.0,
     p_responsibility_id => fnd_profile.value('57203'),
     p_user_id => fnd_profile.value('1013415'),
     p_msg_count => l_msg_count,
     p_msg_data => l_msg_data,
     p_return_status => l_return_status);
     l_project_in.pa_project_id := 4608;
     l_project_in.scheduled_finish_date := to_date('2008-02-27', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
--UPDATE_PROJECT
          pa_project_pub.UPDATE_project(
                    l_api_version_number,
                    p_commit => l_commit,
                    p_init_msg_list => l_init_msg_list,
                    p_msg_count => l_msg_count,
                    p_msg_data => l_msg_data,
                    p_return_status => l_return_status,
                    p_workflow_started => l_workflow_started,
                    p_pm_product_code => null,
                    p_project_in => l_project_in,
                    p_project_out => l_project_out,
                    p_key_members => l_key_members,
                    p_class_categories => l_class_categories,
                    p_tasks_in => l_tasks_in,
                    p_tasks_out => l_tasks_out);
What I am getting is the message "error :Project ID is invalid" and the status is "E"
I'm not sure why it is invalid as it is the exact Project ID from the projects table. The only thing I can think of is that the p_pm_product_code is set to null but I am not sure where this value comes from and why it even matters. I checked the documents and it says it refers to some external system. Why does the external system code matter if I am changing data within Oracle Projects?

Hello,
Looks like you are not setting the Initialization values correctly. Oracle Project APIs are Org specific and require proper initialization before being called for them to work.
Few things i noticed from the code is :
1. The following is being used to set the User ID and Responsibility ID :
     p_responsibility_id => fnd_profile.value('57203'),
     p_user_id => fnd_profile.value('1013415'),
I think the call should be like this. This should be used only if you are going to call the API through a concurrent program from the submit request window (Oracle Apps environment). fnd_profile.value will get the responsibility id and the used id of the user running the program and assign it to the variables.
     p_responsibility_id => fnd_profile.value('RESP_ID'),
     p_user_id => fnd_profile.value('USER_ID'),
Or If you are directly passing the IDs hardcoded then, This can be used if you are running the script from a Non-Oracle Applications environment, for example from SQL*Plus.
     p_responsibility_id => 57203
     p_user_id => 1013415
2. I notice that you are not passing P_OPERATING_UNIT_ID parameter in the call to pa_interface_utils_pub.set_global_info. This is fine if you are not using MOAC and you have set MO: Operating Unit profile for the responsibility being passed. If you are using MOAC or are not sure, then it is always a good practice to explicitly pass the P_OPERATING_UNIT_ID parameter in the call to pa_interface_utils_pub.set_global_info.
Note : DO NOT use fnd_profile.value('ORG_ID') to set the P_OPERATING_UNIT_ID parameter. In a MOAC environment this may not work.
3. Always ensure you check the return status of the pa_interface_utils_pub.set_global_info for success before calling the Project APIs. This will save you a lot of frustration when testing.
4. You might find the following note useful

Cost-Roll take follow-up material upon discontinuation effective-out date ?

Dear Expert,
If we use discontinuation/follow-up material, during Cost-Roll (CK11N), SAP will take default cost from discontinued material even if follow-up material is effective.
How to make SAP take cost of follow-up material after/on effective-out date ?
Example :
Parent "A" contains component "B" qty 3, to be follow-up with component "C" upon discontinuation of "B" on effective-out dated 1st Nov'07, and like-wise to take std cost of "B' before 1st Nov'07 cost-roll.
Thus, when I roll cost in December, I hope SAP would calculate for std cost of A to include std cost of "C" (for cost-roll after 1st Nov'07).
Setting :
Material Master of "B" MRP4 view :
- Discontinuation Indicator = 1
- Effective-out date = 1st Nov'07
- Follow-up Material = "C"
BOM of Parent "A" :
- Component "B" indicate discontinuation group "A1"
- Add component "C" and indicate follow-up group "A1".
Thanks for your guidance !

Hello,
We are having the same issue: is a BOM for costing the only way to handle this ? Controlling dept. here fear they wouldn't be maintained as accurately as the production ones (and they are right). We were also thinking to set the phased out materials (B in your example) as cost irrelevant when you add to new material in the BOM...and start costing the father (A in your example) directly with the new component. I would appreciate a lot to hear other examples of dealing with this issue if anybody has.
Thanks a lot,
Olivier

Create MS Word documents from data in an Apex Form/Report

My requirement is to create editable RTF form letters from data managed by an Apex application. I do not have BI publisher available and am looking at using the XSL-FO route. Effectively I want the user to select the desired data in the Apex application, hit a button and be presented with a word document containing the data, which they can then customise.
I know how to set Apex up to create PDFs based on reports using embedded XSL-FO but PDFs are not editable extra steps by the user. Also the user could export data to CSV and mailmerge with a word template but thats extra work for the user too.
In the past I've used PLSQL/XML/XSL-FO with .NET to do what I want here by generating an XML file with PLSQL and using .NET to associate the XML file to XSLT/XSL-FO template files creating output as varied as .doc, .ps and .html files.
Any ideas on acheving the same flexibility with Apex would be greatly appreciated. As my googling and forum hunting has not turned up much.
Thanks

Hi FunkyMonkey,
Do you know Docufy | Simplify with docufy ? It's an APEX application that lets you create/generate/edit word templates. Else JasperReports Library | Free software downloads at SourceForge.net lets you generate a multitude of report formats (RTF/pdf/docx/xlsx/xml/etc.) you can use iReports to easily create xml templates for the reports, It's a lot simpler then xsl-fo.

Create printouts from data submitted in a form.

Long story short:
I'm looking to set up a system that automatically creates a document from data submitted in a form. So imagine I type "Jason" in the name field, "Orangutans" in the favorite animal field, and when I click print I'm presented with an A4/Letter document that says "my name is Jason and I love Orangutans" and the background is covered in cute orange apes. Where do I start?
Long story long:
I work at a computer store and due to my experience with Adobe products* I've been tasked with creating all the signage in the store. I've been doing all the signs for a year now and now we have a bunch of different signs that need printing every day. The most in-depth and time-consuming ones for me are signs for Trade-In computers. Unlike new computers, the specs are always different based on the particular model we buyback from the client. There are all kinds of fields that are different in each case.
As it stands, I have an illustrator file with all the information in the right place, and when a computer comes in I take all the specs, fill in the right boxes and unhide the image layer so I get an image of the corresponding model on my document. This takes considerable time, and means the process is specific to me, i.e if I'm not in the store, the computers don't get put up for sale beacuse we can't add a spec/price sheet.
What I want to do is automate the process so that anyone in the store can make these signs. All they will have to do is fill in a form (online or locally) that asks for model, year, RAM, HDD, etc**. Then when they click submit it returns a completed sign that they can print and put up next to the computer.
I'm not entirely sure how to accomplish this. I've looked at Adobe's free online FormCreater***, and I like the simple data output that it creates. However, I'm uncertain as to my next steps. I imagine I'll need it to send the results to a computer with blank templates for the Trade-In computers. It would then need to populate the applicable fields and automate all the work I usually do.
Where should I start? I'm willing to learn anything to get this working.
Thanks,
Jason
*Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash, inDesign
**Total of ~18 text and 4 image fields need to be changed per sign.
***http://www.adobe.com/ca/products/acrobat/form-creator.html

I'm willing to learn anything to get this working.
Excellent! Right attitude.
Where should I start?
With my favorite "graphics program": FileMaker Pro. (Yep. My favorite graphics-project tool is a relational database program.)
You see, you've discovered something that graphics people are discovering with increasing frequency all the time: Your project is not a graphics problem. It's a data problem.
Note how little of your problem has to do with graphics. Emphasis mine:
...we have a bunch of different signs that need printing every day.
the specs are always different based on the particular model
automate the process so that anyone in the store can make these signs
All they will have to do is fill in a form (online or locally)
an image of the corresponding model
See if this scenario sounds appealing:
You have on your computer a single file, named TradeIns. You or one of your authorized users doubleClick it. It opens to a nicely organized form that is completely self-explanatory; requires absolutely no training to use.
It's completely idiot proof. The user doesn't have to know anything about any graphics program. He can't break anything.
Consistency is maintained because everything that can be automated is. Dependency intelligence is built in. Popup menus limit data entries to legitimate choices (ex: Models). Subsequent data entry choices are automatically filtered based on data already entered (ex: RAM configurations limited to those possible for Model). User prompts and hints (highlighting, event-driven messages, tooltips, data validation, etc.) make sure that all required information is entered.
When the data entry is done, the user clicks a button labeled Print Preview: A3 Poster. The display automatically changes to a pre-defined A3 formatted layout with all the data graphically styled (Headline, descriptive blurb, bullet list of features, price, etc., etc.), the company logo and contact info in place, and a graphic of the appropriate model appears in the background. The user clicks a button labeled Print Poster. Next to it, by the way, is a button labeled Email Poster To...
If you want, you can enable up to five people concurrently to access and interact with the solution in their web browsers from anywhere. So the data entry can be performed by staff members who logon (according to access priviledges you define and control down to the individual field level if need be) in the office, from home, or even on their iPhone. Multiple users can enter/edit data at the same time.
It's 2:00 Tuesday when Customer leaves with his new machine. You clean up his trade-in a little; put it on the display shelf. Pull out your iPhone and take a photo of it. Tap the specs in. The data, including the photo, are simultaneously entered into the database. You lock the door and go home at 5:00, confident that a formatted sales flier of "Just Arrived" trade-ins will be automatically emailed to your mail list before you get home.
You, having admin priviledges, can add to, alter, elaborate upon the functionality (ex; add an automatic price calculator) anytime you need, with no downtime on the system.
How difficult, time-consuming is this?
Once the requirement details are nailed down, and the raw beginning data for populating values lists is provided, an intermediate level FileMaker developer could build the above-described solution and have it up and running, ready for data entry, in less than a day, easy.
Cost? $500 for one copy of FileMaker Pro Advanced. That's it. (And...*achem*...it's not rented; it's a normal perpetual license.) And with it you can build an unlimited number of other data-driven solutions for your business. You can even bind them as fully-functional standalone applications which you can distribute without royalties.
Based on what you've described so far, the solution's starting data schema would be very simple:
Create a new database with three related tables:
Models
Trade Ins
Specs
The fields for each table would be something like this:
Models
Model ID (primary key; text; unique)
Model Name (text)
Brand (text)
Image (container)
Trade Ins
Trade In ID (primary key; text; computer's serial number)
Model ID (foreign key; text; value list)
Specs
Spec ID (auto-enter serial number)
Model ID (foreign key)
Trade In ID (foreign key)
Spec Name (value list)
Description (text)
You'd have two Layouts (screens): Data Entry and A3 Poster. You could build as many additional Layouts to display whatever combinations of the data you want for as many purposes as you may encounter. Export to PDFs or Excel spreadsheets any time. Build automated reports with live graphs, use conditional formatting, automate with scripts, etc., etc.
Marvelous program. Every business should have it.

Can I convert Facebook time Text to Project Siena's Date value ?

Can I convert Facebook time Text to Project Siena's Date value ?
I want to show create_time on screen by my Localtime formatted text.
Facebook time Text = 2014-07-14T11:22+0000
I want to show = 2014/07/14 18:22
My Time Zone is +09:00, Osaka/Japan.
Currently I try it by Text/Replace/Replace/Replace/Left/DateValue/+ , etc.
And I ask more simple way.
Regards,
Yoshihiro Kawabata

Thank you Andy , and Robin, I can.
Text(TimeValue(Substitute(ThisItem!created_time,"+0000",".000Z")),"yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm")
At Facebook Albums's Gallary, I can convert from Facebook created_time to Localtime Text DateTime.
and I hope more easy way like Excel Power Query's one.

A Variable for Replacing From Date -- To Date

Hi Friends,
I am trying to create a variable that can replace From Date -- To Date ,
For Example In the Variable if the user enters 3 , It should Take Systems date ( today) and should show the resukts for the next three days ,
Like this for 4 days or 5 days ..... whatever is the input , The variable should take todays date and should give the result accordingly ,
Hope this is clear , Any sample code on this or any standard extractor or any Document describing this type of scenario would be great help ,
Thanks in advance,
sathy

Hi Sathy,
You can try the following.
Create a formula variable (YOUR_USER_ENTRY_VAR in this example) for number of days offset (user entry).
In customer exit we will calculate the TO_DATE based on system current date and entered offset.
Execute TX CMOD.
Choose either existing project or create a new one.
Press a button Components (or use Component radio-button).
Double click on a row with EXIT_SAPLRRSO_001.
Double click on INCLUDE ZXRSRU01.
In the body of this include place your code.
CASE I_VNAM.
WHEN ' YOUR_CUSTOMER_EXIT_VAR '.
IF I_STEP = 2. After selecting of input variable
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WHERE VNAM = 'YOUR_USER_ENTRY_VAR'.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = SY-DATUM + LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Activate the project.
Go back using green arrow each time activating the project.
There is also some info with examples in the system:
tcode SMOD, enhancement = RSR00001, select 'Documentation' radiobutton - Display. Make sure you do it in English.
Best regards,
Eugene

How do I save my video project as a data file?

I am preparing a video project on a deadline and they have requested I send it to them in a data file format. I don't see where I can save it that way. Help!

If you transfer the computer hard drive saved project file to a USB flash drive or to burned to disc as data disc with 3rd party software, the project file will be of little use without its source media and Premiere Elements version that supports it. If your associates are asking for a project file, then consider archiving the project, using Premiere Elements Editor with File Menu/Project Archiver and the Copy Project option. That will save copy of project file plus copies of source media in a Copied Folder to the computer hard drive. This Folder can then be transferred to a USB Flash Drive. The recipient still needs Premiere Elements to open the copy of the project file from the Copied Folder on the USB Flash Drive inserted into the recipient's computer. If a Movie Menu is included with the project, then the following needs to be considered
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Archiving Projects With Disc Menus
Is the request for project as data file related to your associates wanting
a. to edit the project
or
b. see what the project looks like in its most current version?
If "b", you might want to think about exporting the Timeline to a AVCHD.mp4 files and saving it as .mp4 data to the computer hard drive or USB Flash Drive. Premiere Elements does not support menus for Timeline content saved to file.
Please review and consider and then we can discuss this further.
Thank you.
