Scheduling comparision in Gantt Chart- Project planning board

Hi All,
I Need to use the "Scheduling comparision" in Project planning board gantt chart. This is to compare the original status of activities before and after scheduling.
But the "Scheduling comparision" button in the PPB does'nt seem to work.
( I am selecting the activity and then pressing the button for"display original status" )
How do I use this functionality?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Potluri Srinivas ,
After some tests, I still donot get, how does this functionalties work either.
I assume, it is linked with the setting in 'option' -> 'planning board' -> 'diagramm area' -> 'orginal schedule'. But I donot know, how the two things linked directly.
If you find it out, please post it.
Thanks and regards,

MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling) - Show operation status in Planning Board

Because the current MRS thread is some long and complicated I chose to move this question into a seperate thread:
Initial question:
Like many companies, it is not unusual at my customer for their Planners to create orders with multiple operations, particularly since many orders require different crafts to perform the work. When the Planning Board is launched and Planners lok at work scheduled for the past week they want to be able to see at a glance which operations have been completed and which operations, perhaps from the same order, have not and may need to be rescheduled. Their preference is to select "final confirmation" when using transaction IW41 and thereby set the operation system status to CNF when the work on an operation has been completed. They then want to somehow use this CNF operation status to drive something visual in the graphical Demand layout display and Resource layout display to enable the Planner to see at a glance that the operation has been completed. I've tried several approaches with configuration of abstract statuses and the user interface profile without success. My customer's interest in being able to see the completion status of an operation in the MRS Planning Board makes a lot of sense to me. I'm hoping someone can help me with a technique for modifying the Planning Board so that it displays the completion status of an operation in a visual way.
Response from Varun Verma:
Hi Mark,
The problem at your customers end is nothing new.
What you can do ( many other customers have done it in similar way ) is:
1) you integrate the status CNF into MRS.
Check the customizing: Basic Settings -> Assign ERP Objects -> Status
2) configure in MRS that for status CNF, the assignments and demands (only in item work list or Hotlist) is colored to GREEN (or any other color)
Check customizing: Set Up Scheduler Workplace -> Workplace Profiles -> Define User Interface Profiles
Thus the users will know visually, that the green colored assignments are already completed.
By the way, in your work list you can also filter the demands based on their status
Regards
Varun.
Followup question:
Varun,
Thanks for the response. I thought I had tried this but perhaps it's because in the UI profile I had not entered something in both the status groups for assignments and the status groups for demands. I have a bit more testing to do but it appears that the demand status now gets updated from the operation status of PCNF (linked to abstract status WORK_START) and CNF (linked to abstract status WORK_STOP). I also get a red bar (C4) for PCNF and a green bar (C1) for CNF. Do you have a better status group I should be using in place of C1 and C4? Status groups C1 and C4 give me a bar but it doesn't look like the demand bar with a outline and alphanumeric description of the demand, it's just a colored bar.
I know the work list can be filtered based on their MRS "planning" status, however, it doesn't appear to permit filtering by the status of the operation unless I add the operation status as an additional field in the worklist. Is there something I'm missing here? And even if it did, my customer wants to be able to see the CNF status indication in the Demand layout and schedule using the work centers so the worklist is not being shown like it is in the Resource layout.

Hi Mark,
Well I assumed that you have confirmations integration active !! But I guess not because you say that the status is not integrated always.
What you need to do:
1) I assume you have SP05 or later.
2) Implement the user exit: CONFPM05. In the implementation of this exit you need to call FM: /MRSS/RSG_PM_ORDER_CONFIRM
3) Go to customizing: Basic Settings --> Assign ERP Objects --> Status
-- Here, define an abstract status (MRS Status) for confirmed and partially confirmed
-- map it to R3 status CNF and PCNF.
After this, whenever you enter confirmation for PM order from transaction IW41, the status will be integrated.
Now you can use the MRS statuses defined in step 3 to configure the colors.
Implementing the user exit CONFPM05 might require some technical input. But it is easy. Just a few double clicks and copy paste.
Contact an ABAP developer for the same.
This should solve your issue.

MRS: PRT Tool Resource does not appear in Planning Board

Hi Experts,
I am trying to perform tool assignment but somehow the tool resource does not appear in the planning board. I have the following set up:
- Tool created as both material and Equipment (category P)
- Equipment assigned to work center linked to Org Unit
- Order with operations created with PRT assigned
What I am seeing in the planning board:
- I can see the operation with the linked PRT
- I can see the HR resource under the same work center Org Unit
- However, I cannot see the Tool resource.
Am I missing somethng here? Any kind of pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Jk

Thank you for your response, Varun.
I do have the equipment work center set to be the same as the operation work center. Also, when I try to add the PRT manually in the planning board, I get 2 error messages:
"Resource is not available"
"Selected equipment 0 is invalid"
Have you encountered this before?
Thank and Regards,

Error while transporting Planning board profiles from Dev to QA

Hi All,
I have created planning board profile by copying an already existing Non-Standard profile.
The Profile is working fine in Dev and i am able to see all the charts and Graphical objects as per the settings in the profile.
But when i transport the profile to QA, it is giving error SAPBARC with text "Illegal number of columns in Chart". I checked what setting have been transported, and found that many of the setting have not been transported for the profile.
Also tried to move all the profiles, thinking, there might be some dependcy among them. But the problem still persists.
Awaiting for help...
Thanks in advance..:).

Hi Davis,
Before transporting transformation make sure either of source or target should availble in target system.
suppose you have a transformation between Data source and Data Target, first transport Data source, then transport Transformation along with data target.
Before tansporting Transformation either source or target should be avaialble in QA system..then only transportation will happen smoothly..
Hope this helps.

Reason for delay on the DS planning board grafic

Dear SAP Fans
Have you done any development on the DS planning board to show reason of the delay of a planned order?
We are implementing PP/DS and this is a hard requirement for the acceptance. The users have another schedule system with this functionality, when an order is delayed you can see the reason in the chart by clicking on the delayed order. When they see the reason they can see all the constraints that prevent the optimizer to schedule the planned order in an early date, for example:
- Order 0001 is delayed to 15.04.2011 because;
         - Reason 1: Machine A is unavailable up to 30.03.2011
         - Reason 2 : Componente 0001-01 have purchase order scheduled to 15.04.2011
         - Reason 3 : PRT is under maintenance up to 10.04.2011
With this information on hand the user can take some actions to antecipate the order in case this order is causing delay on a priority A customer order. For example the actions could be:
          - For reason 1, rearrange orders in the machine to schedule the order in an early date.
          - For reason 2, negotiate with supplier an early delivery date.
          - For reason 3, negotiate with plant maintenance to accelerate it.
Maybe something related to look for the delay log of a specific order.
Appreciate any insight.
Thanks and BR

hello,
first check the operations of the order.
right click on the produce operation and navigate to Order Processing.
In the order tree open all nodes for operations.
Is the set up activity visible there?
If yes doble click on the activity.
does the set up activity have a duration?
If yes check the status of the set up activity.
go back to the planning board.
in the menue select extras-> Legend
a pop-up with the graphical objects is displayed.
Check the graphic objects for the activity status you read before.
did you change the customizing settings for the graphic object?
If yes check them again or reset them to the default SAP settings.
I had a similar problem with a set up activity when I wanted to change the color of the activity according to the set up group. I changed the settings in the customizing Maintain Planning Board Profiles.
It is very difficult to maintain the decision table for graphical objects.
If you did this recheck the decision table.
Go back to the SAP default settings and check the planning board again.
Are the set up acitvities displayed now?
Then the porblem is with the decision table.
rethink every step again.

Dear Mr. Virendra Pal,
Thank you very much for the detailed reply.
I have removed the tick for forcast date and actual date from set of dates view button on the planning board, and kept tick only for basic dates and earliets dates, Now the pop-up window is not coming, when I am clicking schedule icon.

PAM - Maint. Planning not creating Reservation in Graphical Planning Board

Hi All,
I am implementing Pool Asset Management for the booking in and out of plant.
Everything seems to be working well apart for the maintenance part. In the SAP Documentation [Repair Measures|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/0b/5ad2c9e2f249abad4df1479243a001/frameset.htm] it states that a reservation is automatically created for the asset in question for the period it is in the workshop.
I have found no other guidance other than what is in the above link. So far I have tried the following:
Maintenance Plan creating M1 Notification for the relevant asset. Does not appear on the Planning Board.
Maintenance Plan creating a Demand with no PAM details. Doesn't show up on the Planning Board.
Maintenance Plan creating a Demand with PAM details including the specific PAM Pool. A demand is held in the Planning board but requires manual intervention.
I have searched hi and low but still haven't found any answers for getting the Maintenance Planning of Assets appearing in the Planning Board.
Any Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dean

Hi All,
I have now found a solution to the issue I posted below.
It is simply a case of setting a maintenance notification in the IMG Edit Object Processing and setting it as Direct Entry.
Thanks to Udo Schumacher for the [solution|Re: Maintenance schedule not visible in PAM03 Planning table].

Pool asset management planning board (PAM03)

Hi experts,
PAM03 comes with default icons/labels for vehicle pooling. For example in the tool bar there is a filter for 'licence plate' or 'vehicles' for sorting. As you know the PAM can be used for variety of assets such as IT. I wanted to know if you've ever attempted to update the planning board to be used for assets other than vehicles.
I believe in note 1272432 there is mention to this functionality using function module PAMS_GRAPH_UC_OTHERS. I'm still trying to figure out how this works so any input is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi PAM user, the steps necessary for PAM are described in the following places, at the sap Help portal
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/2b/1a73268dd74a0988c00a90171294f7/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/0b/5ad2c9e2f249abad4df1479243a001/frameset.htm
Make sure you activate the SAP Business Function for PAM, which is LOG_EAM_PAM (via transaction SFW5). This will also provide the right settings within config for the planning board and Pool Asset Management.
Only thing that does not automatically gets updates, is table PAMS_VSTAI, which needs to have the following entries:
Pool Asset Management   ABGH    04      Productive Split        I3908   Picked Up
Pool Asset Management   AUFE     02      Completed Split I3910   Settled
Pool Asset Management   DISP       01      Productive Split        I3902   Assigned
Pool Asset Management   GELA              Completed Split I3905   Deleted by requestor
Pool Asset Management   GELD              Completed Split I3903   Deleted by planner
Pool Asset Management   NDIS      01      Reqmt   I3901   Need
Pool Asset Management   RESM    06      Productive Split        I3907   Reserved
Pool Asset Management   RGBE    03      Completed Split I3909   Returned
Pool Asset Management   STAN    05      Completed Split I3906   Need revoked
Pool Asset Management   STOR    05      Completed Split I3904   Planned need revoked
Pool Asset Management   SY01    08      Absence         Maintenance/ Repair
Pool Asset Management   SY02    07      Absence         End of Leasing
I hope this helps you in setting up the solution. Feel free to provide feedback on if it worked.

Pool Asset Management- Planning Board

Hi Guys,
We are in the process of implementing PAM in our company.
I have done the config based on the note ; 1272432 up to certain extent. When i go to PAM03-planning board, the following message is appearing " Illegal number of columns in chart(231, 1, 0), Sum of columns in chart is not equal".
I could not able to find the configuration part for this.
Also in the planning table, i could able to see the request, but i am not able to see the equipments assigned to Pool (functional location category).
Kindly provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks&Regards,

Campaign Planning: wrong campaign description.

Dear Experts,
I am working in a PPDS project for a process industry company, company production highly depends on materials allergens, changeovers between materials with different allergens is very time-costing and moreover company needs to ensure that materials does not get any others allergens as it could be dangerous for the customer.
Company wants to visualize allergens for each operation on DSPB and also on order list. Each allergen is a setup group and I am using Campaign Planning (after Optimizer) to make it more visual, and also take profit of the campaign alerts. Then campaig descriptions should provide information on Order List (I can add a column in the layout cmpgn descript), however campaigns are getting the description from the first material within the campaign and not the campaign description from the campaign profile (customizing).
-Can anybody help with the description issue? I think it should show the campaign description from the campaign profile, it does take the color from the profile but not the description!
- Do you think it is a good solution? Suggestions are welcome!
Thanks in advance!
Carlos

Hi Datta Kadam,
I have been checking the Campaign Badis. It seems that the BADI "Assign Campaign Description after Optimization" -SAPAPO/PCM01_TXTOPT is only intended for when campaigns have been created through Campaign Optimization and it is not my case.
What about the BADI "Change Respresentation of Campaign Bars" - /SAPAPO/PCM04_PT_PRS?
In the standard system, the campaign bars displayed in the resource chart of the DSPB are labelled with info: the APO campaign number, short text, and status.
We can use this BADI tooverride this standard setting and tailor the label for the campaign bar according to our own criteria. Any type of information can be displayed. In addition,we an override the campaign color and status-dependent hatches.
My requirement is to see in the campaign description, per example on the receipts view transaction or on the DSPB, the setup group as description. So I would be enough with the campaign number and the description (setup group) that I wanna see.
Thanks a lot!
Carlos

Follow up to MRSS planning board how to populate

Thanks for teh reply Varun. It was correct as I did not knwo that the create/save populate teh planning board data via the BADi.
However 3 of the 4 added fields TPLNR, ABCKZ, and ILARTa re being populated in the Order Change (IW32) transaction but the field called Remaining Work field OFMNW_2 is not. It is generally calculated when teh actual work in teh IW41 confirmation is changed to less than planned. I.E. if the planned work was 8 and the operator puts 4 in actual work, then the IW41 screen shows remeaining work field filled in with the difference (4).
How can I populate this field via the BADi implementation PUSH_TO_MRS method. I tried to link the user exit for confirmation save (Enhancement CONFPM05, user exit EXIT_SAPLCORF_005 INCLUDE ZXCOFU05) to then invoke the instance of the class method call in the user exit after saving the remaing work field in an EXPORT to MEMORY ID:

Hi Stephen...
I think you are going wrong...
From you post I understand that:
1) You have implemented the user exit EXIT_SAPLCORF_005.
Note: This is called when you enter the confirmation in IW41.
2) Your understanding here is right that you need to integrate this information into MRS and you can do it from the above user exit.
3) But you are wrong -- if you call the BADI here.
Note: BADI methods will not work if you call them arbitrarily anywhere !! They work only when called in a specified program flow.
The given BADI is called during the forward integration -- meaning when the order is saved. After the BADI is called MRS save is called and the data is saved in MRS.
Calling the BADI method alone has not effect.
I suggest that you read more information about BADIs and User Exits.
Regards
Varun.
