Project server 2013----new custom field value is not synced between my work assignment view and project professional

Hi All,
I would like to add a new custom enterprise field in project server to caculate the effective work. I hope it can work as the default field "work" and "overtime work". And I add my custome enterprise field to my work assignment and the
related details view. User can update the values in "my task" but after PM accept the updates, these values are not synced to the project center as well as project professional. Any idea?
Regards,
Anna

Yes, I am saying that the PM cannot see the updated values in the enterprise project in Microsoft Project 2013. It is a task custom field. No errors for it. Would you please help create a task custom field on your side to see whether you can reproduce
this issue? After creating the field, please add it to the "My task" related views so that project members can update the value for the task when they update the task information under "my tasK" page. After that, open the project plan as
project manager to see whether you get the updated value. Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Anna

Project Server 2013 - Remove user from resource pool via sync

Hello everyone,
has anyone managed to configure their Project Server 2013 box with a resource pool sync that will actually remove user from the resource pool (disable "User can be assigned as resource" or deactivate users) when the user is removed from the AD
group(s)?
Setup: Single box, SQL 2012 SP1, SharePoint/Project Server 2013 + PU March + CU April. 2 PWA instances, 1 in SharePoint and 1 in Project permission mode. Tried on 2 different machines (different setup, accounts, domains).
Proceedings:
Create AD user U, AD group G. Add U to G.
Go to PWA, setup resource pool sync with G, sync.
U is now in the resource pool, has no PWA permissions.
Remove U from G. Resync resoure pool.
U is still in resource pool, still a resource, still active, can still be assigned as resource.
Adding U back to G an repeating the whole spiel with a resource pool and a PWA group sync of G will result in U being added and removed from the user list (as expected), and U being added but not removed from the resource pool.
Having read
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg982985.aspx and
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg750243.aspx, there does not seem to be an omission on my part.
The first article states:
Note:
The corresponding Project Server User Account is not deactivated based on this synchronization. If the same Active Directory user is configured to synchronize with a Project Server security group, the Project Server user account will be inactivated when
that synchronization occurs. For more information, see
Best practices to configure Active Directory groups for Enterprise Resource Pool synchronization in Project Server 2013.
Unfortunately, this deactivation either does not seem to occur even with a PWA group sync or I misunderstood the article.
So, did anyone manage to setup their resource pool sync in a way, that new resource will be added, but also be removed from the resource pool?
Kind regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
you tried to sync the same AD group that you used for the resource pool sync also with a Project Server permission group?
And on removal of the user of the AD group the project user/resource is not deactivated? Only removed from the group
Regards
Christoph
Hi Christoph,
even though I might have tried that before, I tried it again in several constellations. It didn't change anything. The the user will be properly added to and removed from the PWA group whenever I remove them from the AD group, the use will also stay active
(but cannot logon without permissions). However, the user will always remain in the resource pool, i.e. the "User can be assigned as resource." checkbox will remain unless it is cleared manually.
Having re-read the technet articles, none of the scenarios actually seem to descibe or address the process that I require, or maybe I'm just misunderstanding. Let me just try to outline the core issue:
Add user to AD group. Sync AD group with resource pool. User is now a PWA resource and PWA user.
Remove user from AD group, but do not deactivate/delete user from AD.
(Magic happens!)
User cannot be assigned as ressource in PWA.
So, is there anything to make this step 3 happen, or is it just not possible to sync users out of the resource pool anymore unless they are deleted/deactivated in AD?
Kind regards,
Adrian

Custom Field value is not getting populated in Display mode

Hi Experts ,
I have created a custom field on sales tab for BP Role Bill to prty in BP transaction in SAP CRM. The problem i am facing is that , after i chose my sales area field value is not populating in first time no matter whether i am in display or change mode but the moment i switch to the other mode the value is being populated. Kindly help me in solving this.
Regards,
Ameet

Dear Chetan,
If the field is added through AET, can you please check the Get & Set Methods?
If the field value has fixed values which you have defined while creating, then check GET_V & GET_P methods.
Thanks & Kind Regards,
Ravi Kumar A R

Custom Field values are not saved. when MPP imported from another instance.

Hello Mate-
Currently I am merging one small instance (I2) of PWA in our corporate instance(I1). as the corporate instance is huge, we are doing manual merge of groups, securities, users, custom fields etc. also downloading the MPP as xml from I2 and then planned
to publish from I1.
There are few project level custom fields which are being used in MPP. and those fields may have formulas too.
I created same custom field in crporate environment(I1) but while trying to open the projects in our corporate environment(I1), the project custom fields are gone.
Could you please guide me here, I am lost. I can not do a data base migration ans it would override all data from I1 instance so need to do it manually.
Many thanks

Hi
You may not be able to do this as the custom field GUID's are different in both the instance.
You may write a macro to copy the custom field data from one to another one

Discussion About The Use Of Project Server 2013 Timesheet Custom Billing Categories (Post SP1 and April 2014 CU Install)

In support of a consulting company using timesheet custom billing categories to designate project time as billable onsite, billable offsite, and non-billable, I've encountered a series of issues which appear to be associated with the custom billing category
timesheet lines. These issues cause timesheet users to get frustrated, and contribute to misalignment between project actuals and timesheet actuals. We're in Single Entry Mode, no pre-population, SP1 and April 2014 CU Installed.
I'll enumerate the issues here and pose the question to the community as to whether others are experiencing any/all of these things, and if so, ask if any workarounds have been discovered. We're working with Microsoft to validate these independently,
but I am posing the questions to the community to gather additional information, and hopefully save some folks time in troubleshooting similar issues.
1.When time is entered on an assignment into timesheet lines of multiple billing categories, only time entered since the last save is getting saved and ultimately sent, on timesheet submit, to the approval center. Although the previously entered and
saved time appears in the application interface when the timesheet is re-opened, only data since last save is actually saving to the server or processing through the approval center. We believe this is the primary cause for timesheet and project actuals
being out of alignment.
2."_ Error Loading". When assignments are added, deleted, or changed after a timesheet has been created, standard timesheet lines are added, deleted or changed (i.e. synchronize) with the assignments. However, for custom billing category
timesheet lines, they do not change when the assignments change, and they aren’t removed if the assignment is removed. We believe this causes secondary errors, like the "_Error Loading" (and others as will be described below).
3.When a timesheet with time in a non-standard billing category is deleted and recreated, time is arbitrarily moved to standard timesheet lines for the same assignment. If the task assignment is subsequently removed, the timesheet line causes the timesheet
to break.
4."Error Communicating with Server". When trying to submit a timesheet, a pop-up box appears indicating that there is an error communicating with the server. This error appears because a timesheet line is no longer associated with a project.
In order to submit the timesheet the orphaned timesheet line must be identified and manually removed. One technique we found which helps to identify an orphaned timesheet line is to select a task and submit task progress. Repeat for all timesheet lines until
you get an error. The timesheet line(s) with the error can be manually removed from the timesheet, fixing the error.
5. Unable to Open Specific Timesheets without Error. There are certain scenarios when the "Remove Task" feature is used or an assignment is otherwise removed after creation of a timesheet with custom billing category lines, which causes orphaned
timesheet lines. These orphaned lines can cause issues when trying to open a timesheet. The issue can appear when timesheets are in progress in multiple periods. In the problematic scenario, time is entered and submitted in one period and subsequently
the task is 'removed' from another period before the PM processes the first approval request. Process governance can certainly help here, but improvement in the way synchronization occurs between project assignments and custom billing category timesheet lines
would be great. The error can often be resolved by re-adding the assignment for the problematic timesheet user to the project (which creates a new assignment), and then allows you to open the timesheet. Then time can be moved from the old timesheet
line to the new timesheet line, and the old one can be removed.
In 4 and 5, sometimes we can't open a timesheet without error, and other times we can open it but not submit it. We are not 100% clear on all the different causes for each. Each of these issues are suspected to be contributing the the misalignment of
data between project actuals and timesheets, which can be a real problem for external projects for which time collected through timesheets are being used to generate invoices.
Although these may seem like separate issues, warranting separate questions, I decided to post them together because they all seem to be related to synchronization of project assignments and timesheet lines for custom billing categories.
Any thoughts or suggestions from the community would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Justin
Justin Naughton

There are many causes for each of the errors mention. It would be best to put one issue to the forum at a time. For example, some of these issues occur then tasks are deleted from projects but a timesheet has been submitted. Depending
on the scenario, some of these issues have been fixed with the latest service pack.
Other issues are due to bad scheduling habits with the project managers and so first determining what they have done can help resolve some the issues.
_error Loading, is because something is NULL in the data and the jave is choking when it build the form. Again, these may be because of delete tasks, resources, projects or someone doing copying and pasting of rows.
cheers!
PS. Train your PM to not COPY and PASTE rows in project schedules. It can be done, but it can create problems. There are over 500 fields and some have unique data and the copy paste creates havic.

[Project Pro 2013] User Custom Field w/ Formula does not calculates on Group Tasks

This issue happens only on Project 2013. When I make a formula (using Duration, Cost, Number, etc...) on a custom field and set "Use formula" option in "Calculation for task and group summary rows",
works fine without groups, on resume tasks. But when I Group the tasks, the group tasks values disappear.
When I open the same file on Project 2010, it works correctly.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the effort. This problem is a bit tricky and hard to explain without images or files.
I'll try to explain using your example:
- I do not coded my summary tasks with the value in the "Text1" field and
- I do not want to maintain hierarchy on groups like you show.
1. On "No Group" mode, the summary tasks works fine. All summary tasks shows the values calculated by the formula. Summary tasks are not the problem.
2. However, when you group the tasks by Text1, the Group Tasks (the colored ones that appear on group mode: Group: a, b and c) do not show the values calculated by the formula, even if you set to "use formula" on summary and group tasks.
3. When you open the same file on Project 2010 (default configs), group tasks values appears (values calculated for the groups of the detail tasks: a, b, c). If your Duration1 field stays the same or disappear, change some values and refresh the field to check
the formula is working.
4. If you see that everything are working correctly so far, try this on your file:
4.1. Maintain your tasks grouped by Text1.
4.2. Add three Fields: "Duration2", "Duration3" and "Duration4".
4.3. On every detail tasks, enter 2 days for Duration2, 3 days for Duration3.
4.4 Set Duration2 and Duration3 to "show Average" value on the resume and group tasks. Set the Duration4 to "use formula".
4.5. Create on Duration4 field a simple formula, like [Duration2]+[Duration3], or [Duration2]/[Duration3].
4.6. See that the formula works fine the detail tasks (Duration4 = 5 days).
4.7. Now the problem: The group tasks shows nothing. Duration4 should be calculated (average duration2: 2 days + avg duration3: 3 days = 5 days).
4.8. Save the file and open on Project 2010. If the resume tasks on Duration4 continues to show nothing. Refresh the field by clicking right button on field and going to "Custom field" and pressing OK.
See that Duration4 are calculated on Project 2010 correctly, but not on 2013 version. That is the problem
Thanks again. I hope it helps.

Project Server 2013 - New - Project, creates groups at the root site level, Server is in Project Server Permission mode

I created an Enterprise Project in PWA and moving up to the root site settings I see there was the four basic groups created there just for this project. This is not acceptable when there will be 500 projects on the server. Is there a setting to turn this
off. I guess we will rarely create projects with PWA, so I will see if creating a Project in Desktop has the same effect. Still would like to understand why this is happening. Thank you.
Site Provisioning settings are located under Central Administration -> Manage Service Applications -> Project Application Service -> Manage ->
Project Site Provisioning Settings
Turning that off allows the group creation to cease.
Then PWA Settings -> Operational Policies -> Connected Sharepoint Sites
allows selective creation of a Project Site (Workspace)
This set up is perfect for what I require.

I assume that you're talking about the SharePoint security groups for each Project site? If so, then this is as designed. Each site can have different users, so this is absolutely necessary when you use SharePoint. If you do not want to create project sites
for your projects automatically, you have already discovered how to turn off automatic site creation.
If you turn off the Project application service, you disable Project Server. I don't think that is what you want to do. I don't understand your objection to the groups because if you are running in Project Server classic permissions mode, Project Server
manages the group membership for you.

Project server 2013 - PWA: My Tasks page is not loading and disabled

Hi
i had an issue that suddenly occur for one of my users (just to him).
My Tasks page is not loading, it shows "Loading" in the middle of the page and stuck that way, and also the Ribbon buttons are disabled.
Anyone knows what could he had done to make this happen?
The print screen is in Hebrew but i described what appears.
Ofir Marco , MCTS P.Z. Projects

Hi Ofir,
I've had a similar issue in a previous version of Project Server. A corrupted assignment was causing this in my case. I found the corrupted assignment using the following procedure:
Retrieve all published assignments & related projects for the user (in the database)
Open each project one by one in MS Project & set the 'Publish' value to 'No' for the user's assignments and publish the project
Everytime after publishing a project, retry to open the Tasks page
At a certain moment your Tasks page should work again and you know now which project/assignment is causing the error, just replace the corrupted assignment by a new one and it should work again
Hope this helps

Custom field values are not storing in the data base

Hi Friends,
We have created one Custom field called ZZ_APPROVER in Rfx Header , we have included this field in the below stuctures
1.INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_BID
2.INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF
The data type of this field ( ZZ_APPROVER ) is CHAR and the length is 1 . we have given 2 fixed values in Value Range
1 -
X+2 Approver
2 --- Provisional Approver
so when we select either 1 or 2 ( in Drop Down ), its displaying properly on RFx Screen, but when we try save this document the values are not strong in the data base.
Can any one give me idea why its not stroring in the data base
Thanks in Advance
Kumar Srini

Hi Ganapathy,
A Record is created in table BBP_PDHSC , for other z fields, the values are stroing , but for this field ( ZZ_APPROVER ) [ drop down list ], the value is not stroring
Thnx

New custom field in MCVBAK not available for selection in RSA5

I added a custom field to the communication structure MCVBAK. When I go to RSA5 and select the Maintenance button to select it, it is not visible in the list. Do I need to do something other than add to MCVBAK to make it available for selection?
Thanks.

Hi Boater,
Have you included this new field from MCVBAK in the extract structure from LBWE T-code? If you haven't, you need to do this and it will be available in RSA6. Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

Custom Column for Project Code Number & Search Box to search Content in Project Server 2013

Hi all,
I want to add a custom column in Project Center view for showing some Numerical Projects codes like 4523, 5248,8956 like that... Each code will represent Project assigned with that code in Project Server 2013. Also let me now if i can add some search box
in Project Center page through which i can search Project Code or Project Name. Currently, provided search bar not working in Project Server 2013.
Need it urgent..Kindly help

Hi,
If you want to add this column in a project center view, be careful to choose a project view in the "manage views" views' list. Also it must be a project custom field and not a task field. As Paul said, we assume that the field with the code exists
and has been previousky created by you.
Hope this helps,

Project Server 2013 - "An unknown error has occured"

Hi !
Whenever I navigate to Project Center in Project Server 2013 the credentials window pops-up continuously even after entering correct admin account and after several clicks on OK button in credential window it says "An unknown error has occurred".
This is happening at every links. Even at Resources, Tasks, Reports, etc.. Is this Project Server 2013 stable or still has bugs in it.
I recently installed March 2013 hotfix for Project Server but still no luck. In ULS or Event Viewer I didn't got any
relevant exceptions.
I am even unable to connect to Project Server from Project Professional.
Thanks & Regards.

"An unknown error has occurred" usually means that the browser cannot resolve some data or something is missing. This can be caused by many issues. One for instance is deleting projects, but timesheets are still referencing it. Many others. This
is one of the harder issues to resolve, because often you don't find anything in the ULS.
Seeing that this error is occurring everywhere on PWA, I would first try rerunning the "SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard". If this fails at any place, that will be the first thing to fix.
Cheers
