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 ?

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.

Early schedule start date, early schedule finish date

I want early schedule start date, early schedule finish date and project cost plan in my report. This is a PS requirement. In the standard cube (0PS_C02) I can find actual start date and actual finish date. Has anybody used early schedule start date and early schedule finish date in the reports? If yes then did you get it using standard cube/ODS or you went for enhancement?

HI,
He have to go for few tables in which u can find all the data.
Firstly u have to enhance the datasource .
First go to table AFKO here you insert AFUNR (Order Number) this table you will get AUFPL .
Then take AUFLP and go to AFVV table and insert AFUPL . you will get all the activites and all dates of each activity for example early start date ,early finish date, foirecost date etc.
Thanks and 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.

Can anyone confirm the date used for pushing the data into AR interface table? Is it abse don Actual ship date or scheduled ship date?

Can anyone confirm the date used for pushing the data into AR interface table? Is it abse don Actual ship date or scheduled ship date? We are facing a scenario where trx date is lower than the actual ship to which logically sounds incorrect.
Appreciate any quick response around this.

Hi,
Transaction date will be your autoinvoice master program submission level date (If you haven't setup any logic.
Please check the program level default date, if user enter old date ststem will pick the same.
Customer is trying to set the value of the profile OM:Set receivables transaction date as current date for non-shippable lines at the responsiblity level. System does not set the transaction date to current date in ra_interface_lines_all.
CAUSE
Customer has used the functionality in R11i. But after the upgrade to R12, the system functions differently than R11i.
SOLUTION
1.Ensure that there are no scheduled workflow background process run.
2.Set the profile "OM: Set Receivables Transaction Date as Current Date for Non-Shippable Lines" at Responsibility level only as Yes.
3.Now switch the responsibility to which the profile is set.
4.Create order for Non-Shippable Lines and progress it to invoicing.
5.Ensure that the 'workflow background process' concurrent program is run in the same responsibility and this line is considered in it.
6.Now check if the 'SHIP_DATE_ACTUAL' is populated to ra_interface_lines_all

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

Restriction of Validity start date in Scheduling agreement

Hi,
I am not able to convert the message 06 170( Start of validity period is in the past) in error message , when i am going to define attributes of system messages in purchasing and converting this message into error , system still does not give error message when i am selecting back validity start date in the header of Scheduling agreement (me32l)
What can be the possible reason.
Regards
Sachin

Hi,
I believe the message 06-170 is hard-coded in Include "MM06EFRP_EKKO-KDATE" in the Program SAPMM06E
Laufzeitbeginn in der Vergangenheit -
 IF ekko-kdatb < sy-datlo.
 MESSAGE w170 INTO gl_dummy.
 mmpur_message 'W' '06' '170' '' '' '' ''.
Please consul your ABAP Team on this to change it to Error.
But SAP does not recommend changing standard Programs, so please discuss this and see that its really required and will not have any effects to your business process, because there may be instances wherein you might require to create scheduling agreements with a past validity date sometime in future based on business requirement.

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.

Basic start date and scheduled finished date...can we have Planned date?

Is there any "Plan Start Date" in SAP, the date where scheduler must put manually in the system to determine the "committed" date for the work to be executed - based on earliest and latest start date which automatically calculated by SAP?
Our plant must keep the Basic Finish Date unchanged since it is the Required Date of the Work to finish. We found that the Plan Date does not change and I was wondering if there is any way we can have the Planned date on the order header or have the basic finish date unchanged?
Appreciate your advices

Hi
As per your query screen variant is the better option to be choose so that here you can go with user id based restriction

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.

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

Pricing conditions for the articles are getting triggered one day before the actual activation date to 3rd party systems through job WPMU.

Hi SAP Guru´s,
Currently we are sending the pricing, promotions & article master data delta load to 3rd party system from SAP ECC via SAP XI through IDOCS using daily scheduled batch jobs WPMU. IDOC segment - WP_PLU.
Here the issue is the promotion & pricing data are sent to 3rd party system one day before the actual start date.
Eg: Promotion 123456 which has start date as 15/05/2014 & ending on 30/05/2014 & was created & activated on 13/05/2014.
This promotion 123456 is getting triggered from SAP ECC through batch job on 14/05/2014 morning & 3rd party system receives the data on 14/05/2014 & the promotion are getting activated at 3rd party system end on 14/05/2014 itself which actually gets active from 15/05/2014.
Same in the case for Standard Pricing data which needs to be active from 31/05/2014 once the promotion 123456 ends on 30/05/2014.
The standard pricing data gets triggered from SAP ECC on 30/05/2014 through batch job & reaching 3rd party system on 30/05/2014 & getting activate on 30/05/2014 itself.
This creates more issues at the store end as well as affecting business.
We checked at 3rd party system end & they replied that their system considers the updated time stamp & date to activate the prices & it does not considers the actual active from & active to date. They need the data to be sent from SAP ECC on the effective date of the pricing & promotions.
Can any one help me how to change the pricing conditions beign triggered through batch job in SAP ECC based on the actual promotion & pricing conditons start date or is there any other process to trigger the data through the batch job on the actual promotion & pricing data activation date.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks & Regards,
P.P.Shankar

Hello Shankar,
Change the lead time in the POS Outbound Profile. You can't put less than 2 days there so data for today and tomorrow will be transferred which also means you need to adjust your batch timing accordingly.
Sales and Distribution -> POS Interface -> Outbound -> Maintain Profile for POS Outbound.
See if it helps. The best option would still be that the 3rd part system considers the activtion date.
Kind Regards

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
