Project System - Actual start Date - Activity

Dear Friends
Can any body let me how do i put actual start date of activity in project structure?
Thanks and regards
Kaushal

Hi Kaushal
Actully when you set the start date at the Project level, it will automatically flow to its sub hierarchy levels as well eg. WBS, NW and other project elements. If you still want to change the actual start of an activity project structure, you can do that by going to date tab of a specific activity say cost activity and change the date from there.
Thanks and Kind Regards

Actual Start Date vs Actual End Date - Activity

In an Activity, I would like to seperately enter the Actual Start Date and Actual End Date.
- If I try this using (partial) confirmation, I receive a pop-up with an error that the two dates must be entered together or no dates can be entered.
The activity in my project can take over a year to complete and the requirement is to confirm start (at start) and to confirm end (at end).
Does anyone know of a solution for this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Patrick,
I think you need to research a bit more on confirmations in PS. Actual dates in partial confirmations are practically interpreted as provisional actual start dates and actual finish dates. The actual start for the activity remains the same however the actual finish date is overwritten once the final confirmation is entered.
For example, take an activity with start date 05.09.2011 and finish date as 14.09.2011. Now when you provide confirmations on a daily basis, you can use the following strategy:
Day 1, 05.09.2011: actual start 05.09.2011, actual finish 05.09.2011, % complete 10%
Day 1, 06.09.2011: actual start 05.09.2011, actual finish 06.09.2011, % complete 20%
Day 1, 07.09.2011: actual start 05.09.2011, actual finish 07.09.2011, % complete 25%
Only when you provide the final confirmation the actual finish date is confirmed. The various confirmation line items may be viewed via CN48N.

Need to update the actual start date & time of a operation in workorder

Hi Experts,
I need to update the Actual Start date and Actual start time of a Operation of a WorkOrder through a Function Module.
I was looking into the BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN FM, but i couldn't find any field relating to the actual start date and start time of a operation.
Kindly Suggest me which Function module i can use to complete my task.
Thanks in Advance
bye

Hi,
It is system's standard behavior and no other MRP type will help you in moving the start date outside the planning time fence. With MRP type P3 new requirements are covered at the end of the fixing period, the end date is set and planed order is scheduled backword. Hence the start date will lie within the planning time fence.

Request vs Actual Start Date in Scheduler Jobs

Hi, I want to run a PL/SQL block, all days, at 1:00 AM
I've defined the following scheduler job, in a new (and empty) Job Class:

SQL> select job_name, repeat_interval, job_class, job_priority from dba_scheduler_jobs where job_class = 'MY_NOCHE_JOB_CLASS';
JOB_NAME...........: UNIFICA_CLIENTES
REPEAT_INTERVAL....: FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=1;BYMINUTE=0;BYSECOND=0
JOB_CLASS..........: MY_NOCHE_JOB_CLASS
JOB_PRIORITY.......: 1

However, the process is starting later, for example:

Request Start Date....: Nov 10, 2010 1:00:00 AM -02:00
Actual Start Date.....: Nov 10, 2010 4:06:33 AM -02:00

Why is the difference between Request Start Date and Actual Start Date ?
Is there any way to enforce the start of the Job at any time ?
OS: Solaris 10 8/07 s10s_u4wos_12b SPARC
DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production
Thanks in advance

The database is not down since at least 2 months

SQL> select LAST_START_DATE from DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS where job_class = 'MY_NOCHE_JOB_CLASS';
LAST_START_DATE
────────────────────────────────────
17-NOV-10 04.21.00.447083 AM -02:00

Any advice ?

Has anyone experienced a activity actual start date moving when updating progress

When updating an activity progress in a small schedule i notice that one of my activities which had already started on march 19th and was about 10% complete from a prior update jumped to March 23rd as start date. What is going on???

Could the activity be a Level of Effort or a WBS Summary? If so, it will follow any change to the earliest starting activity, if you made a change to this activity.

Exit/Badi for Updating Actual Start Date in CJ20N

Dear Experts,
In transaction CJ20N, under Dates Tab for a particular Activity, there is one field viz. Act i.e. Actual start: Execution (date). My requirement is to display PR date in this field. Besides this, Actual finish: Execution (date) should also get updated depending on the Duration field.
I searched all the exits in the package 'CN' and 'CORU', but none of them seems to be useful
Please suggest a user exit/BAdI which could help resolve this.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
That BADI would trigger when you change any thing on the WBS and hit save.

Like Trevor I couldn't find the option in 2013 version nor in previous versions of MSP. Maybe a more experienced fellow will jump in and bring more knowledge.
That being said, there is the following advanced option which could be seen in a similar way if you look at the description. By default (option cleared) if you enter a %complete, Project will spread the actual work until the actual duration. If you check
the option, it will consider the status date instead. Thus it will apply for your definition where you enter 100% complete.
Hope this helps,

Actual start date in WIP

Hi all,
I want the following confirmation whether the data picked up on the "original WIP job quantity" and "original WIP job start date" fields are truly the original ones and not any subsequent amendments as both of these fields can be amended after the original release.
Here for the original WIP job quantity Iam considering the start quantity and for the original WIP job start date Iam taking the minimum transaction date from the mtl_material_transactions table.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Sandeep V

2LIS_04_P_MATNR Delta - Actual Start and Finish Dates

My company is experiencing a problem with retrieving the actual start and finish dates and times from the 2LIS_04_P_MATNR data source with delta extraction. The R/3 source system is version 4.6C. The BI system is version 7.0. Specifically, the data source fields GETRI, GEUZI (finish), GSTRI, GSUZI (start) are sometimes never populated with data. These fields are often blank in the production data extracted. It was observed that the actual delivery date for the order (posting date of goods receipt from process order) was often an earlier date than the GETRI date. This scenario was tried in test systems, and it was found that if the final goods receipt for the process order was posted before the end of the last phase was confirmed, the actual finish date and time fields were not transferred to BI from R/3. In fact, it was noted that a new record was not created in the 2LIS_04_P_MATNR delta queue when the end of the last phase was confirmed. Regarding the actual start data, this is missing if a goods receipt from the process order is posted before the start of the first phase is confirmed.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? How was it resolved?
SAP Notes have been searched regarding this problem, and in fact, a customer message has been opened with SAP for this problem. However, we thought we would try asking the community as well, to see if any other users have experienced this, and how the problem was resolved. We also understand that it may be an unusual practice to post a goods receipt from the process order before the end of the last phase is confirmed. In a more general sense, has anyone else experienced that some of the data source fields are never populated if the R/3 information is entered after the posting of the final goods receipt against the process order? Our testing indicated that no more delta records are created for the 2LIS_04_P_MATNR data source after the final goods receipt was posted.
Thank you,
Chris Sopek

Hello,
we are experiencing your same problem! The only difference to your scenario is that wer are currently operating on SAP ECC 6.0.
Did you receive any answer from SAP?

Version 999 Project System Plan Data Issue

I am using transaction CJ9B to copy the Project System related plan data i.e. plan data at the WBS element level from Version 10F, period 1 to 12 in year 2010 to version 999, period 1 to 12 in year 2010. The transaction CJ9B runs successfully in the update mode. But when report CJI4 is executed for version 999, period 1 to 12 in year 2010 then we do not find plan data in sync with version 10F.
I analysed this issue, had a meeting with end user and blanked out target version 999 using source version 9ZR for the year 2010. Then I again copied version 999 from version 10F. Still plan data in version 999 do not exist as they are in version 10F. I have checked the version 999 master data in transaction OKEV. Integrated Planning for SPL, COPA, cost center accounting and business process is active. COPY Allowed is also enabled. Version 999 is unlocked as well.
Hence I am not sure why the copy functionality is not working fine for version 999, period 1 to 12 in year 2010.
Can you please take a look and revert with your opinion so that this issue can be fixed ?
Thanks,
Umesh

Hi,
If you want to copy all the plan date from 10F to 999, then in Txn CJ9B
select the indicator reset and overwrite in target version and execute in test mode.

Project Start Date – modification after project was saved.

I created new project with a start date 01/April/2015 and saved it. Next, I change the start date to 14/April/2015 in the setup.
However still in statistics windows I see the start date as 01/April/2015. Additionally, every new task has start date 01/April/2015.
Could you please advise me how can I change that?

MS Project Standard 2013

Thank you for your prompt reply.
1.Firstly I set up project start date as 01/04/2015 in Project, Project Information and in File, Project Information and save document.
2. Afterwards, I modified start date into 14/04/2015 in the same places.
However, the date in Project, Project Information - Statistics was still 01/04/2015 (please check screenshot).
3. But finally, after several openings and closing of the document the date in Statistics is correct (hard to say what is the reason).

Intergation: cProject + Earned value + Project System + Accouting

Hi,
I'm trying to intergrate cProject & Project System & accounting. currently I'm facing some problems:
PS is generated automatically from cProject (Automatically, Task base, WMS, level = 99).
I don't know how to entry actual start date for each WBS. so POC is zero. ==> BCWS, BCWP is zero too. I think actual start date have to be determined by cats or confirmation from cProject but It is not true now.
can anybody help me?
Thank you very much
Long Nguyen

Dear Long
I'm afraid that u may have to manually enter the actual start of the respective WBS element, as SAP works on the principle - actual start of the subordinate activity can be different from the actual start of the WBS Element.
