Setting Due Date for task using business days

While this may not be new news to many, I found little information on how to add a certain number of business days to determine the due date for a task to be used in a workflow. For SharePoint 2010 environments that cannot run custom code, I have
found a solution that utilizes two additional columns in the task list. The first column I named
Deadline (a number with no decimal places), which will contain the number of business days until a task is to be completed.
The second I named Business Deadline (a calculated column returning a
Date and Time). The formula for the calculated column is:
=[Modified]+INT(ROUNDDOWN([Deadline]/5,0)*7)+ IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5))<MOD([Deadline],5), IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5)+2)=7,MOD([Deadline],5)+4, IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5)+2)=1,MOD([Deadline],5)+3,MOD([Deadline],5)+2)), IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5))=7,MOD([Deadline],5)+2, IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5))=1,MOD([Deadline],5)+1,MOD([Deadline],5))))
The workflow on create in the task list then is:
Set Deadline to {number of business days}
then Wait for Deadline to equal {number of business days} 'Necessary to ensure the Business Deadline has been set
'then Set Due Date to CurrentItem:Business Deadline
Hope this helps a few others that are beating their heads against their desks like I was.

Can't set due date for to do in iCal

I'm not sure if I'm blind or not, but i can't seem to set a due date for my to-do events. There's an option to say that there is a due date, but all it does is that it bring the view to the current day and changes the icon to an alert icon.
Is anyone else facing this problem?
I'm using iCal Version 3.0.5 (1270).

qwertyjem,
Click on "due date" and define your requirements (day/month/year) ...if...you have set the preferences to match your requirements in System Preferences...>International>Formats>Region:/Dates/Times.

Hi All,
I have a simple query which is below:-
Declare @reportdate date

select * from dbo.Table
where date IN (@reportdate)
I need this query to pull the data for the last 3rd business day .So lets say today is monday then i need the data for last week wednesday which is 3 business days back from monday, if today is a tuesday it would be for last thursday ( as 3 business days for
tuesday would be thursday). But if today is wednesday then i need to be last 3rd business day which is last friday and i also need to get the data for saturday and sunday.
Can someone please help me how cani change my filter to do this?
Please let me know if i am still unclear.
Thanks

Hi SqlDev12,
Based on my understanding on your requirement, you can reference the below sample.
CREATE TABLE BusinessTable
Bdate DATE,
Wd VARCHAR(10)
;WITH Cte(DT,WD) AS
SELECT CAST('20150401' AS DATE),DATENAME(WEEKDAY,CAST('20150401' AS DATE))
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(DAY,1,DT),DATENAME(WEEKDAY,DATEADD(DAY,1,DT)) FROM Cte
WHERE DT<GETDATE()
INSERT INTO BusinessTable SELECT * FROM Cte
SELECT * FROM BusinessTable
SET DATEFIRST 7 -- Set Sunday as the first day of a week
DECLARE @givenDay DATE ='20150415' --Wednesday
SELECT * FROM BusinessTable
WHERE Bdate BETWEEN
--For Monday and Sunday, select last wednesday
(CASE WHEN DATEPART(WEEKDAY,@givenDay) IN(1,2) THEN DATEADD(DAY,2,DATEADD(WEEK,DATEDIFF(WEEK,0,@givenDay)-1,0))
--For Tuesday and Wednesday, last week's Thursday and Friday
WHEN DATEPART(WEEKDAY,@givenDay) IN(3,4) THEN DATEADD(DAY,-5,@givenDay)
--For Thursday and Friday, current week's Monday and Tuesday
WHEN DATEPART(WEEKDAY,@givenDay) IN(5,6) THEN DATEADD(DAY,-3,@givenDay)
--For Saturday, current week's Wednesday
ELSE DATEADD(DAY,2,DATEADD(WEEK,DATEDIFF(WEEK,0,@givenDay),0)) END)
AND
(CASE WHEN DATEPART(WEEKDAY,@givenDay) IN(1,2) THEN DATEADD(DAY,2,DATEADD(WEEK,DATEDIFF(WEEK,0,@givenDay)-1,0))
WHEN DATEPART(WEEKDAY,@givenDay) IN(3) THEN DATEADD(DAY,-5,@givenDay)
WHEN DATEPART(WEEKDAY,@givenDay) IN(4) THEN DATEADD(DAY,-3,@givenDay)
WHEN DATEPART(WEEKDAY,@givenDay) IN(5,6) THEN DATEADD(DAY,-3,@givenDay)
ELSE DATEADD(DAY,2,DATEADD(WEEK,DATEDIFF(WEEK,0,@givenDay),0)) END)
DROP TABLE BusinessTable

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow
I need to set it today because there are tasks that is needed to be completed on the same day.
Is there a way without modifying the page/form. like a configuration or something?
----------------------- Sharepoint Newbie

Hi ,
As Ajeet said, for implement your requirement, you can change the data validation on the Due data field.
You can do as the following :
Open the site with SharePoint Designer 2010
Click on Workflows on the left launch, then find ‘Approval-SharePoint 2010’, click on it
On the Forms section, click ‘ReviewApproval_***.xsn’
Then you can find Due Data for All Tasks, and change the validation
In addition, if you create an approval workflow with SharePoint Designer, you can use a specific date, it contains hour and minute.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Difference between Due Date for All Tasks and Duration per task in an approval workflow

Hello,
I'm starting to read up and learn about approval workflows in Designer 2010. I am confused by the fields "Due Date for all Tasks" and the "Duration per task". I understand that the Due date for all Tasks is the date that all
of the tasks in the workflow must be completed by. And I understand that the duration means each task has x number of days to complete.
But I dont know whey we need them both. If I have the task duration set to two days and there are 3 tasks involved, then wouldn't the due date be 6 days from the start? Why would I have a due date for all tasks that is completely different than
the sum of the duration of days for each task?
Please help shed some light!

Hi Michelle,
Due date for all tasks, this setting specifies the date by which all tasks are due. It’s used for serial and parallel
task.
Duration per tasks, this setting specifies the date by which an individual
task is due, it’s used for serial workflow participants.
Note, when you create an approval workflow, select task process participants(approvers oob approval workflow), we can also
select once at a time(serial) or all at once(parallel).
For more information, see

How to set due date on sharepoint workflow task

I'm sure this is a very trivial question for this group, but...
Using SharePoint Designer 2013 to build a workflow. I have assigned a task. How do I set the due date for a specific number of days out, i.e. 10 days from the task creation date?
It seems like this should be really simple but I'm just not seeing it.
Thanks.

Hi,
Please follow below steps,
- Go to Tasks lists --> list settings --> change due date column to calculated value and add the following formula,
[Today]+10
I hope this works.

DUE DATE FOR CREDIT MEMO

Hello,
I have a question about credit memo -due date.
Using MIR7, MIRO for credit memo the due date for net payment is the same with baseline date.
e.g. document date:18/07/2007
posting date:18/07/2007
baseline date:18/07/2007 terms of payment are 30 days
the system issue due date : 18/07/2007 but correct is 18/08/2007
What can I do to calculate due date correct for credit memo ? (baseline date + terms of payment) ?
Thanks.

Hello
Check the settings in "Terms of Payment"
Check what you have checked in "base line date calculation', I think you need to enter 1 in the box additional months.
Next in the default date setting, check if you ticked "posting date "
Reg
*assign points if useful

Any easier way to set due dates?

By and large, I'm pretty happy with the functionality of iCal, even if it's a bit basic. But setting due dates on to dos and events is very frustrating!
Let's say you add a new to do, then click the due date box. Today's date is filled in, say, 26/08/2007 in my part of the world. I want to schedule the to do for next month. To change it you click on the day part, enter a number (say, 08), then tab or click on the month part. At this time the iCal display jumps to 08/08/2007 (in the past!). Now I get to manually type in the new month, 9, and press Return or tab and things are good again. It's all kind of long-winded and messy. What's sorely needed is a drop-down calendar picker, or the ability to click on the existing calendar at the left to pick a date.
Does anyone know of any easier way to enter due dates? I've even looked for external programs that handle to do functionality, but can't find any that automatically sync changes to iCal for syncing to my Palm Treo. Anyone know if iCal in Leopard is any better in this regard?
Thanks in advance!

I couldn't agree more. I can't believe that this has escaped Apple for so long, and didn't even make it into Leopard. Let's say its the middle of November and I want to schedule a to-do due date for the end of the week, say Friday, second week of December. I do this all the time. Sorry, but I can't do the math this quickly, so I need to open up a calendar, or scroll down the calendar, then enter the exact date manually.
Just give me a quick pop-up. Travel web sites do this. Now Up To Date in 1992 had drop down calendars. So does Entourage, which is what I use ONLY because of this one glaring pain. Entering due dates, reminders, etc, is just a pain in iCal, and even worse now in Mail.

Check to see if Priority is assigned to calendar or using business days

How do I check to see if priority 2 is set to use a calendar or it is using business days to calculate the start and end dates?
Thanks,
Annette

Ususally, the system will take Factory Calendar into consideration if you select the day as unit (start and end date units), where as for other units -e.g. hours non working hours are not consedered.
You can check your priority type config settings in qm - quality notification - notification processing - response control - define priorities.
Hope it helps.

FBL5N - incorrect Due Dates for Downpayment invoices

Hi.
On a Down Payment Invoice to customer, the Due Date shown (on Invoice Form) is Correct according to the Terms of payment. (eg : Baseline date + 8 days)
However, in the FBL5N, the Net Due Date field shows the Baseline date as due date !
Why is it so? How do I ensure that FBL5N displays correct due date according to the terms of payment.
Thanks in advance for your suggestion.
regards,
Jai

Hi,
I had a similar problem with CREDIT MEMO.
The System behaves as following:
a credit Memo without an Invoice Reference is always due on the Baseline Date (the Exceptions to this are Credit Memos which have an explicitly-stated Value Date)". This Logic was introduced starting from Release 3.1I. Please see Details in Note 79871 and 84137.
Summary:
1. Credit Memo with Invoice Reference have the same Terms of Payment
and Baseline Date as the Invoice.
2. For the Credit Memo without Reference to an Invoice, there are 2
methods available for choosing the due Date :
a) The Due Date for Net Payment (RFPOS-FAEDT) is identical to the
Baseline Date for Payment (BSEG-ZFBDT). The Period for Net Term or
the Term of Payment is not taken into Account. This is the Default.
b) Or the Credit Memo is due based on the Payment Terms. For this,
you must enter the Indicator "V" in the Credit Memo Field BSEG-REBZG
"Invoice Ref", in addition to the specified Payment Method.
You can modify this Field for the Credit Memos already posted.
=> the above Details are documented in the Help F1 behind the
"Invoice Ref" Field.
Manual filling of the Field can take place during the Entry of the
Credit Memo, or in a Document Change Transaction:
Run transaction FB02 to call up the Credit Memos. Drill down
to Customer Line Item. Here, you should be able to see the Field
"Invoice ref.' (BSEG-REBZG). Place a 'V' in this Field. With this,
the Credit Memo is due based on the Payment Terms.
To automate this process:
You can use user exit SDVFX001 to fill the value "V" in field
BSEG-REBZG. Steps to activate the user exit
- transaction CMOD to create a project, your own naming convention,
include SAP enhancement - SDVFX001
- The function module called by SDVFX001 is EXIT_SAPLV60B_008,
make your ABAP coding in include program : ZXVVFU01. Populate field
ACCIT-REBZG with 'V'.
- Activate project via CMOD.
I hope this could be helpful for you.

Due Date for Emails

Hi Experts,
System: SAP CRM 2007 (WEB UI)
I am trying to set-up ERMS Due date for incoming emails. I am trying out the Standard funtionality by using the two services
FG_ESCALTIME
UT_ESCALDETERM
Can any one help me with the Properties that I should set up for FG_ESCALTIME service. Also, when I am using Property--> METHOD and PROPERTY VALUE --> 2 for the service UT_ESCALDETERM, the routing is failing.
Can someone help me fix this.
Regards,
Namita

Hello,
Have you tried using the BADI "CUSTOM_HIT_LIST_SORT" to define that email work items should be sorted in ascending order? You might also look at some of the other BADIs for the Agent Inbox as well such as "AFTER_SEARCH" or "COMPUTE_DEADLINE_AND_PRIORITY". Please take a look at the 82 page FAQ document attached to SAP Note 882653 (Frequently Asked Question about IC Agent Inbox) in case you have not already done so.
Warm regards,
John

Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days. I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,change remotes, no change.Help please.

Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days. I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,changed remotes, no change. Latest software update. This is really annoying. iPhone remote app works just fine. Any suggestions?

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

New Due date for reversed Invoice

Hi Experts,
Can we determine a new due date for reversed invoice through standard configuration? The due date of reversed invoice remains the same as that of the original invoice even if its reversed after a year. It looks very odd that a FICA entry has a due date of past.
I tried by assigning the out-going payment term to the FICA payment term configuration but it doesnot determines a new due date from the posting date I provide during invoice reversal.
Any Clue ?
Regards
Satyajeet

Hi Satyajeet,
As per standard SAP, the due date of a particular invoice is derived from the date you are posting it in SAP and the payment terms configured in the contract account master, irrespective of the fact that whether it is a cancel-rebilled invoice or a normal invoice.
So if a invoice is posted on 05.08.2011 and the payment terms mantained at the CA master is 5 days then the due date will be on 10.08.2011.
The due date of a invoice is determined in event R417. Check if any custom FM is assigned in there which is changing the standard SAP functionality.
Also check event 1330, which gets called from event R417 to determine the due date.
Hope it helps.....
Thanks,
Amlan

Sales Credit Memos, Payment terms and due date for payment

Hello all,
does anyone out there know how to get the terms of payment assigned to sales credit memos taken into account when the due date for payment is calculated in the accounting document? (I know this is a bit puzzling as why should one need payment terms for a credit memo)
I have looked at SAP notes 17410 et al..but remain unclear re how 'V' is populated in BSEG-REBZG.

Number of the Invoice the Transaction Belongs to
For line items which are related to another line item, this field contains the number of the partner document.
Use
In the standard system the field is used for:
o   Credit memos which refer to a particular invoice item
o   Subsequent invoices for an invoice item
o   Partial payments for an invoice item
o   Partial clearings of down payments.
In the first two cases mentioned, the terms of payment are copied from the cross-referenced invoice item into the item currently being processed. This ensures that items due on the same date are paid together by automatic payment.
A special rule applies to credit memos which have a "V" in this field. The due date is determined in the same way as for an invoice. If the field is empty (containing neither a document number nor a "V") the due date is the baseline date for payment.
