Request to be able to close Projects in SAP

Hi SAP,
I have several customers who have requested that the facility to mark Projects as being closed is added to SAP.
The reason is that they have hundreds of projects, the vast majority of which are no longer 'open'. It is time consuming for users to find the correct project and too easy to select a defunct project.
Thanks
Greig

Hi
It's a good point to improve usability. Actually, the status of project has already been considered for B1 later version. So please keep patient.
Regards,
Yan

Not able to close project:

While closing a level 1 WBS, we are getting error message "Incoming order value not settled in full"
However for this project, All WBS below level-1 are closed and for level 1 WBS, no operative indicator is selected.
Not billing/ Planning or account assigned.
Also there is no order attached to this WBS element as wbs element is not a billing element.
Strange thing is now billing element indicator is gryed out.
So we could even not carryout CJA2/ KKA2 as this is not a billing element.
Also we could not reverse CJA2 as system gives error that WBS is non billing element. and we could not set it as it is gryed out,
CJI3 shows balance zero.
Also WBS settlement parameter we could not bring in edit mode so that we could change those.
Please assist how we could remove this error and close the WBS.

Hi Madhu,
Try CJEN. It may solve the issue.

Users are not able to edit projects even with right permissions

Hello,
We have a weird issue. Your help or inputs is appreciated.
A user is not able to edit projects in SAP PPM 50 unless 1)the project is created by the user and 2)user has access to ACO_SUPER auth object. For the projects, the user is trying to edit, we made sure user has write ACL access in the administration tab of the project.
Obviously, we can't give all users ACO_SUPER access. Please advise how to proceed.
Thanks in advance

Hi Pranith,
You are right..ACO_SUPER is not recommended for all users, it's an super user access.
In PPM-Project management, there are two authorizations
1) General Authorizations
2) Project Specific authorizations
General authorizations:
This is provided to user using a backend PFCG roles like 'SAP_CPR_USER' which contains business partner view access and other similar roles are assigned for project creation, template creation etc.,
Project Specific authorizations:
This authorizations are provided using ACL 'Authorizations' tab within the project and here you have different authorisation activities like admin, write, read & none.
As you said, the user who creates the project will get 'Admin' authorization and after that if you want give access to other users, then you need to add manually users in the project definition-authorisation tab or you can provide default authorization through project role type.
Have you added the users manually in authorisation tab?

Ravi

Hi,
Please check the charecterstic of Book Area 01 in customization. If net book value has been maintained as negative, then you have to run depreciation to make it negative.
If depreciation for all asset has not been run a particular fiscal year then you cannot close the fiscal year.
Please check wheather depreciation for all additional assets has been run or not.
Hope you have understood.

"Close Project" to be made inactive until a particular phase is reached.

Hi All ,
I am having requirement of making "Close Project" under Document tab in Document toolbaras inactive until the Project reaches the final phase of it.what I thght of it is like locking/inactivating the "Close Project" by scripting when the project is created and write the code to unlock/activating the "Close Project" in the Document Life cycle event context for a post phase change by checking if the current phase is the last phase of the Project.
But I didnt find any methods from RG to make the Close Project inactive... Did any one try this or suggest any methods from RG?.
(I guess in toolbar customizations you can only hide or rename the display names . I was able to only rename/hide the "Close Project"...).

You're right, iCal is well suited for creating calendars for presentation purposes.
You should let Apple know what you think here:

Premiere Pro CS6 6.0.2 hangs on Close Project

I have a project that I was working on today that seems to have somehow become corrupted. Everytime I open it, and then attempt to Close Project, premiere will stop responding.
I've tried creating a new project, and when I import the sequence from the older project file, save, and and attempt to Close Project, premiere stops responding...
A couple of other projects seem fine. So somehow, this project must have become damaged or something.
How can I debug this issue so i can get the sequence back to keep working?
Thanks,

I was able to find an auto-save version that only lost me some of the work I had done, so thanks for the suggestion.
As I began redoing the lost work, I reproduced the problem. So I spent the last hour narrowing down what is causing it, and have found that an audio track that I am imported will reproduce the issue every time.
I can even start a new project, and import that single audio track, and cause premiere to hang. It's clearly a bug, but I'm not sure how to figure out what's going on.
The track was an MP3, so I brought it into audition and exported it as an AIFF file. But importing that file causes the same issue.
What's the best way to get Adobe to look at this. It's a simple problem to reproduce, and since it causes the app to hang, it probably should be fixed. I also tried to just remove that audio item from the latest project file, but that doesn't help. Once I import the track, any attempts to save the project will result in a hang.
Thanks in advance,

Does " Close Project without Saving " key assignment work at all ?

I'm using Logic Express 8. I'd really like to be able to close a project without seeing the " do I want to save the project " box.
There is a function to do that in the Keypress Commands, but it seems broken. I've tried assigning several different keypress combinations to that function and all they do is crash Logic when I try to use them.
So, am I doing something wrong, missing something, or is that command broken ?
???

Come on, how hard would it be for someone out there to try this and let me know if it's my problem .. or a bug ?
Logic Express Preferences ... Key Commands .... Global Commands ... Close Project without Saving.... assign some key combo to that, then go back to a project and try it.
Oh, and then fill out the cute - report this to Apple- thing when it pops up after the crash so someone will fix this and I can move on

CProjects - Unable to close project

Hello,
I encounter a problem in cProjects 4:
I have a cancelled task which prevents me from closing the related project. In fact, when i try to close the project, i got a message telling me that this task as to be closed before...
Does anyone have any idea of how i can solve this ?
Any advice would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance for your help.
S. Talasi.

Hi Matthias,
First of all, thank you for your help.
Yes i meant "completed" but the problem is i'm not able to complete anything at all at levels higher than my task.
When i tried to complete the ITO above my TTO i got an error. As i thought i needed to complete all ITOs before beeing able to close my CTO , PPO, DPO, i thought i won't be able to close the project.
But, i realized that i can complete the CTO without changing the task or the item status which solved my problem.
Thanks again for your precious help,
Sébastien

Recently when opening up Photoshop, my Adobe CS6 Master Collection pops up saying there's some kind of offer going on the Creative Cloud. For awhile I was just able to close out of it and go about my business on Photoshop, but now it's not allowing me to open Photoshop unless I sign up/pay. I'm quite confused? I really NEED to have access to Photoshop ASAP.

Not able to close asset fiscal yearar

Hi,
Not able to close fiscal year in asset accounting for multiple company codes.
In OAAQ asset closed year is 2010 at company code level but in OAAR for depreciation areas there are different closed fiscal years for the same company code.
For depreciation areas 01 & 15 asset closed year is 2010 (matches with OAAQ) but for other depreciation areas 12, 16, 20, 31, 40 closed fiscal year is 2012.
I am unable to change fiscal year to 2011 for depreciation areas 12, 16, 20, 30, 31 & 40 and unable to close fiscal year 2011 via AJAB.
Do we have to update table T093B to change closed fiscal year for each depreciation area manually or any sap note available for the same.
Regards,
Durgasankar

Hi All,
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
1) When i am executing AFAB i am getting error that fiscal year 2011 to be close first.
2) When i am executing AJAB for fiscal year 2011 i am getting error that 2011 already closed for depreciation area 15 whereas for depreciation area 01 closed fiscal year is 2010.
I have applied the corrections of note 646691 and issue got solved.

'Close Project' in Captivate 4 not working

Hi,
I have a number of projects where I set the preferences to close the project, and it works in some and not others.
I have a slide with a 'Done' button. When the user clicks it, it goes to another slide with nothing on it but the background and a text caption from the previous screen, and it is set for only one second. Some of these projects close perfectly; others delete the text caption and leave the project open.
Any ideas?
Thanks, as always.

Hmmm, it was intended to show you that you simply cannot rely on the different means of closing the window. Close Project and the Exit button are essentially the same action, no? Perhaps I should amend the note so it specifically also mentions the action of Close Project.
The thing is, unless you are presenting your Captivat using EXE format, you are seeing a very generic overall issue with closing a browser window. And closing browser windows is inherently fraught with issues and seldom works as one would expect. The only way to make it work as you want most of the time is to ensure you always open the window using JavaScript so it's a child window. When you open in this manner you have more control over the behavior of the child window and can usually close it at will.
Cheers... Rick

In P6 version7 not able to copy project with the baseline.

Hi,
In P6 version 7 it is not able to copy project with the baseline. It copies only the schedule.
Please help.
regards,
Baber.

Tried the solution from another thread but did not work completely (as warned) - the workaround didn't quite work for me either:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1398462?start=0&tstart=0
Ended up taking a backup, did a fresh install, created the account as the first one so that it gets the same UID as the other Mac (on which my account was the first) and restored my data - was painful but finally on track.

My Firefox freezes whenever I try to search with Google. I am still able to close the browser, though. How can I fix this?

Whenever I attempt to utilize Google to search anything on the internet, Firefox will freeze. However, I am still able to close the browser window and end the firefox.exe process in order to open a new browser window, but it is annoying an inconvenient to have to do this frequently. Help!

Might be because of a malware.
