Real Finish Date and Task Completion Percentage

Hi, Working With Project Server 2013,
User enter Task Progress setting the fields:
Percent Complete: 100%
But also changes the Finish Date to a later day.
And Hit "Send"
This is the information the PL gets, accepts and publishes.
If the user sees the task again on Tasks he sees a recalculated % percentage and not the 100% that he entered in the first place.
If the user doesn't change the finish date the 100% percent is not recalculated.
This behaviour is not seen on PS2010.
Is this by design on PS2013? is it configurable?

Andres --
In either Microsoft Project 2010 or 2013, if you enter a % Complete value of 100% for a task, and then change the Duration of the task, Microsoft Project will recalculate the % Complete value, reducing it from 100%. This is the default behavior of
the desktop tool, and Project Server 2013 mimics that behavior. I cannot test Project Server 2010 for this behavior, since I do not have an instance available to me where I can change the method of tracking to % of Work Complete.
To answer your second question, no, the Finish field is NOT the same as the Actual Finish field. In your situation, I would recommend that you add both the Actual Start and Actual Finish fields to the following views in PWA:
My Work view in the Timesheet section
Details view in the My Work section
My Assignments view in the My Work section
The process for using the above field with the % Work Complete method of tracking progress would be as follows:
When a team member begins work on a new task, the team member enters that date in the Actual Start field.
Each week the team member enters their estimated task progress in the % Work Complete field.
When a team member completes work on a task, the team member enters that date in the Actual Finish field (they DO NOT need to enter 100% in the % Work Complete field as the software will assume the task is completed by entering an Actual Finish date).
This is the process that we recommended to all of our clients who use the % of Work Complete method of tracking progress. Using this method gives you more accurate tracking, and will eliminate the problems you have experienced with Project Server 2013.
Hope this helps.

Actual finish date and % of completion in Open Ps

I am unable to download Actual finish date and % of completion while downloading project from SAP PS to MS Projects using Open PS.

From SAP Note 1332046:
07.Question: After downloading a project from SAP PS into MS Project, why is the Planned Finish Date in MS Project different when compared to project in SAP PS?
Answer:
When downloading projects with actual data, the actual work that has been completed by an activity element on an activity in SAP is assigned to the resource of a task in MSP.If there is remaining work and if the actual finish date in SAP PS is before planned finish date, the remaining work
will be equally distributed till the planned finish date. If there is remaining work and if the actual finish date in SAP PS is on or after planned finish date, the remaining work will be equally distributed till the forecast finish date for the activity. If a forecast finish date is not
available for the activity, remaining work will be equally distributed till the forecast finish date for the activity element. If a forecast finish date is not available for the activity element also, then MS Project does the allocation of remaining work.That is, if the actual finish is on or
after the planned finish and there is work remaining, while entering confirmations in SAP a forecast finish date should be supplied so that when downloading the project to MSP, the remaining work will be scheduled properly.
I do not understand. If we must mark the final confirmation it shouldn't be remaining work. I still do not understand why my finish dates do not fit with the actual finish date in SAP.

Earliest Start and Earliest Finish dates for Tasks

Hi experts,
Can anybody tell me in what table are the Earliest Start and Earliest Finish dates for tasks located? If no table is available does anyone know of a BAPI o function to obtain these dates?
Thanks and best regards,
Fernando

Hi Wendy!
Thank you so much for your explanation, we have done exactly what you mentioned in your post. In fact we are now using the SCHEDULED_START and SCHEDULED_FINISH instead of the PLANSTART and PLANFINISH.
OK so this is how it went:
In transaction SE11 we added the two fields in our append structure ZDPR_TS_DASHBOARD.
We added them just like they are named:
SCHEDULED_START type DPR_TV_SCHEDULED_START
SCHEDULED_FINISH type DPR_TV_SCHEDULED_FINISH
When doing so, it gave off a warning that SCHEDULED_START and SCHEDULED_FINISH are not customer fields and should have a YY or ZZ in front. I ignored the warning based on your advice and activated the append anyway.
So that´s how the append went.
Next on to the SPRO config:
In the define atributes part, SCHEDULED_START and SCHEDULED_FINISH are already defined as attributes, however I am not sure how the rest of the configurations should go, for example:
Attr.Type, Summarization Rule, Summ. Res, Init Vals., or Reference Attribute.
I left these values standard and didn´t modify anything in this part of SPRO.
Next I checked in the extract layout configuration in SPRO and verified if they were in the 0_Dashboard. It was there alright, but again I am not sure if I should flag any of the two flags in that configuration:
Always Extract and Calculate after Aggr.
I left them blank (standard).
In summary, I didn´t have to do any configuration in SPRO...
I went to the Tasks Dashboard in cProjects and the new columns keep coming with blank values...
What do you think Wendy? Am I still missing something?
Thanks again and regards,
Fernando

Process Order Basic Finish Date and Scheduled Finish Date

Folks,
I have a requirement from the business to be able to update the Process Order Basic Finish Date and Scheduled Finish Date independently from each other.
In other words, update the Basic Finish Date and the Scheduled Finish Date cannot change or update the Scheduled Finish Date and the Basic Finish Date cannot change.
I believe the reason for this is to be able to use the Basic Date to maintain the ATP accurately and keep the Scheduled Date to mark when the order was originally due from the shop floor to be able to measure if orders are being completed on time or late.
I have worked in tnx OPUZ and had some success with other issues with these dates but I can't seem to make them work independently from each other.
Or does anyone have any ideas how to measure proces order performance to the production schedule?
Thank you for your help,
Greg

Rajesha, thank you for your reply but it doesn't solve my problem.
Let me restate my scenario:
I start a process order and both the basic and scheduled finish dates are the same, June 1.
At some point, shop floor tells me they will be late and cannot deliver until June 15.
I need to update a date in the system so the ATP and the MRP planning runs have correct information for promising customers, I will update the Basic Finish date with June 15.
I also need to keep the original June 1 date in order to measure the shop floor performance to the production schedule to measure how early or late the order was delivered. How can I keep the original finish date or how can I measure if a process order is early or late??
Thank you for your help,
Greg

Actual Finish date and time

Hii
How can we set the actual finish date and time to be logged at the time of Technical completion ??
Thanks and Regards
BK

BK,
The "Work ends on" field should be open for edit in IW41.
This field entry populates the "Actual finish date" in the operation when the "Final confirmation" flag is switched on in posting the time confirmation.
Check the settings in the IMG for: Set Field Selection for Completion Confirmation.
It sounds as though this has been set to "display only". There is no reason to have this control unless the system is set to enable posting in the future. Then folks would be able to cheat on their time.
The future date posting should only be switched on in development or test clients for test purposes.
However, from your description of the process, I would have expected the date and time to have defaulted as the current date and time.
Could there be a user exit at work?
We seem to have wandered away from the original question you were asking about setting the order "finish" date from technical completion. Were you refering to "Basic Finish Date"?
The configuration in Define Proposed Reference Time for Technical Completion can be configured to be Current, Created on, Basic start, Basic finish, but this relates to the reference date of the order.
Or are we on track now with the problem around the operation "actual finish date"?

How Production Order finish date and time is being comptued by SAP?

Hello Expert,
How Production Order finish date and time is being comptued by SAP? for example, we create a Production Order via CO01, the basic start date is 29.09.2008 and time is 04:00 it gives us basic finish date is 29.09.2008 and time is 13:28.
how does SAP compute the time 13:28 as it finished time
Please explain me briefly.
Thanks
Ryan

Hello Guys,
When we create Production Order in R/3 the time is calculated by routing but it is extended at SetUp machine time. It is not correct?. SetUp imachines time used only for first Production Order for the same product and it is plan manually, for others Production Order we need calculate time for production without SetUp machine time being pick up to compute finish time. how could we achieve this? only those Machine time will be check.
thanks

Basic Start/Finish Date and Requirment Date in Maintenance Order

Sir,
We want to know the link between Order Start/finish date and requirement date in Maintenance Order.
As we are facing problem during change in dates.
When we change either start date or finish date in the order, the system automatically change the requirment date as of ondate of all the materials which has been earlier issued and also consider the today date.
Like in Maintenance Order
Basic Start Date - 01.04.2009
Basic End Date - 31.05.2009
We have issued materials on the order at different date by putting offset value for the requirement date.
Now if we increase the Basic End Date of order to n30.062.009 or whatelse, the system automatically changes the requirement dates of all the materials issue based on current date. Suppose we changed the Basic End date on 10.11.2009, the system changes all the requirement dates by calulating offset value from 10.11.2009. However these materials has been issued earlier.
I want to know if there is any remedy to stop to change the requirement dates automatically.
With Regards
Mudit Gupta

HI
In general the requirement date will get changed only when the IMG settings in OPU7 permits the requirments dates should be adjusted towards the order basic start and end dates
kinldy check and adjust as per the requirement

DMV to get Backup and Restoration complete percentage

hi all,
Any DMV to get Backup and Restoration complete percentage in SSAS Database like what we have sys.dm_exec_requests in OLTP.
Thanks

Hi Devbi,
According to your description, you want to get Backup and Restoration complete percentage by using DMV, right?
Analysis Services DMV are query structures that expose information about local server operations and server health. The query structure is an interface to schema rowsets that return metadata and monitoring information about an Analysis Services instance.
All the DMV are list on the link below, and based on my research, there is no such a DMV that return the Backup and Restoration complete percentage.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230820.aspx
If you have any concern about this behavior, you can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product. Your feedback enables Microsoft to make software and services the best that they can be, Microsoft might consider to add this feature
in the following release after official confirmation.

Timeline Start and Finish Dates - how to not display finish dates for tasks not added to timeline

I have a project, Project 1, with start date 1 Jan 2014 and finish date 31 Dec 2014. When I switch to timeline view, the timeline spans this period. I now want to create a second view for a sub project within Project 1, called Project 1A. It
starts 1 June 2014 and finishes 31 August. I only want to see Project 1A's tasks and time span on this second custom timeline view. I create the new view, add the tasks from Project 1A to the timeline, and save the view as CustomView1A. My problem: CustomView1A
shows the tasks for Project 1A, but also shows the dead space between 1 Jan 2014 and 1 June 2014, as well as the dead space between 31 August and 31 December.
I dont want to see the dead space. I want CustomView 1A's timeline to start and finish on Project 1A's start and finish dates.
How do I adjust CustomView 1A's timeline borders on the left and right to exclude the dead space?
Hanneliese Fourie

Dear Sir,
I checked in CO41 and it allows me to convert planned order to production order and not have any provision to re-scheduling the planned order . Any function to reschedule planned order to future dates ( whose start dates and finish dates are in past ) ?

Group By Date and Task

Hi Guys,
I have got a report and It was long query to get the data but now I am stuck as I tried to sort it by date but no luck.
I want to sort it so it only shows one date and sum all the tasks on that date.

Hi Mo Yusuf,
Per my understanding that you have sort by the ansactionDate field and want to groub by this field to sum all the task of the same date but failed, right?
Please find details information below about how to add the row group for the ansaction date and sum of the task in the report design:
Right click the field task and select the add group--Row Group to add Parent group like below:
Click to select the task under the task field you will get the "=Sum(Fields!task.Value)" which will sum the task based on the scope of ansactiondate, you can also use the expression "=Sum(Fields!task.Value,"ansactiondate")"
to include the scope of the sum function:
If I have some misunderstanding, please try to provide some sample data in the table and the query you are currently using in the dataset and more details information about the expect result you want to get.

GLTRS - Scheduled Finish Date and 2LIS_04_P_MATNR extractor

Hi Experts,
Its a strange situation. I have one process order which is showing GLTRS as 3/3/2009 in AFKO but when I extract this order (after filling up setup table for full load) using 2LIS_04_P_MATNR the record doesnt bring the same date; instead in the field "Scheduled Finish Date" it displays date 2/25/2009.
when I see in Tx COR3 date 2/25/2009 is schedule start date.
Can anyone help me on this?
thanks,
Purvang

Same problem here except for field GLTRP. I realize this is old post, but were you able to find solution?

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?
We opened a request for the same topic.

Changing basic finish date in Preventive maintenance orders

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to block PP work centre when maintenance schedule the equipment for preventive maintenance. I am making system condition as zero in generated preventive maintenance order but basic finish date is not changing in the order automatically. Can anybody please explain how to bring this? Finally my requirement is system should change basic finish date and time as time given in operation of task list.
Thanks in advance.
best regards,
Srinivas M

Hi Praveen,
I have done all setting and tested but there is no change.
My client requirement is like this - whenever maintenance plans are scheduled, for the scheduled dates, production capacity should not be considered by production. We could do this for breakdown orders but not happening for PM orders unless we change the finish date.
The issue is to get the finish date automatically when scheduling maint.plans with respect to values given in operations. Please suggest how to get the basic finish dates automatically.
best regards,
-Srinivas

Change of scedule finish date

Hi Gurus,
I have items of two operations on a routing with different work centers and control keys. Now, my production order is calculating the finish date as per the sceduling as of operation one.I need the production orders to work out the finish dates of an order by the operation two.
Please help me how i can handle this...?
Thanks for your understanding.
Naveen.A

Naveen,
In Scheduling parameters(OPU3) for the Plant & Order type combination define 'Adjust Basic dates to Scheduled Dates". Once this setting is there after the order is scheduled you would get have a same date for Scheduled Order finish and Basic Finish dates and this would be again based on the last operation completion dates.

Prasobh

Finish date changed in Scheduling

Hello All
I am facing one problem in scheduling.
I have one production order 7734413.
Order is not released.
Always I am using back ward scheduling. I am working on 4.7 version
In production order Basic finish date is 07.11.2007 and basic start date is 28.10.2007.
In factory calendar Tuesday is holiday.
Now suppose I want to change finish date as 08.11.2007 and then I do scheduling.
Then system is proposing 09.11.2007 as finish date and start date as 31.10.2007.
That means after scheduling system is proposing one day ahead of finish date.
But if I enter finish date as any Wednesday then it is accepting the same as finish date.
Suppose I enter 14.11.2007 as finish date and if I do scheduling then system proposes 14.11.2007 as finish date. Here system is not proposing one day ahead of finish date.
Other details are as follows :
Schedule margin key
Opening period 10 days
Float after production 5 days
Float before production 2 days
Main thing I facing problem in scheduling on all days except on Wednesday.
Please let me know the solution.

Hi
you an go through the following notes:
Basic finish date
Date on which the required quantity of the material is available (that is, the requirements date of the material).
If, on order creation, a planned order exists for the production order/ process order, the basic dates are copied from the planned order.
If no planned order exists on order creation, you must specify at least one basic date.
The scheduling type determines the basic dates that you must specify.
Dependencies
The order finish date is accurate to the day. However, for scheduling, production requires a completion date that also specifies the time. To ensure that the material to be manufactured is available on the order finish date, the completion date must be before 00:00 hours on the order finish date.
If, however, an in-house production time of 0 days is maintained in the material master, an exception is made to this rule. In this case, it is assumed that the material can be manufactured in a single workday. The completion date is then before 24:00 hours on the order finish date.
Example
The last operation of an order was completed on Thursday at 5 pm (17:00 hours). No float after production was maintained for the order.
If an in-house production time greater than 0 days is maintained in the material master record, the order finish date is Friday.
If an in-house production time of 0 days is maintained in the material master record, the order finish date is Thursday.
