Start date for successor activity same as finish date of predecessor.

Have set the calendar correctly; i.e.: workdays, holidays set as well as the hours per day (8:00 AM to 5:00PM with one hour off for lunch) and all activities are using the same calendar. Have set all activities "% Complete Type" to physical because don't want duration as driver. Have never had this happen before and need some help.
Thanks

Hello,
Try the following:
1. Make sure that the Start Constraints (if any) are set to the beginning of the day, and the Finish Constraints (if any) are set to the end of the day.
2. Go to Edit > User Preferences > Dates > Time, and choose "24 hour".
3. Check the activities to see if any begin at 8:01AM.
4. For the first activity in the project that starts at 8:01AM, change the start time to 8:00 AM.
5. Go to Tools > Schedule, and check if the time of the Current Data Date is set to 00:00.
6. Go to Edit > User Preferences > Dates > Time, and choose "Do not show time".
Now run the schedule. This should solve the issue.
Good luck!

  • Finish Date of Predecessor is the same as Start date of Successor

    Has anyone run into this situation where the finish date of the predecessor is the same as start date of successor? Also, an activity with 1 day duration has a start date of 8/15/13 and a finish date of 8/16/13. This boggles my mind. Help!
    Edited by: 1007706 on May 23, 2013 11:52 AM

    No I haven't seen either of these here, but perhaps this is influenced somehow by Time Zone settings?  Is this a schedule imported from other resource (P6?) or created in Unifier?
      from oracle knowledgebase:
    The Time Zone setting affects the date stamp that appears on the actions that you perform in Unifier, such as
    saving or uploading files, and also affects due dates for tasks that are assigned to you. Within an Audit Log the
    date and time stamp of each event reflect users’ current time zone as set in their User Preferences.
    For user-defined reports, the time zone shown is used for date fields in the report. The default time zone is
    defined when the report is designed. It can reflect the time zone from your user preferences or be fixed to a
    particular time zone, such as the project location or company headquarters.
    Time Zone can also come into play when you create a "bidder" account so that vendors can log into Unifier and
    submit bids. Set the Time Zone field to match that of the bid requestor’s (either your company’s time zone, or
    the zone from which the bid invitation is sent). If your bidders are in a different time zone from yours, this will
    protect them from mistakenly submitting bids after the bidding process is closed.
    Refer to the Unifier User Guide and Unifier Administration Guide for additional details.

  • The successor activity begins on the same date as the predecessor finishes.

    How do I extend the working hours for each activity. I am currently encountering this problem.
    My calender is set as 8 hours day, 0800hr - 1700 my activity are as follow -
    Activity ID     Activity Name               Start      Finish
    A1020     1     16-May-12 08:00     16-May-12 17:00
    A1010     2     17-May-12 08:00     17-May-12 17:00
    A1000     3     18-May-12 08:00     18-May-12 17:00
    But when I change the calender to a 10 hour work day, it becomes
    Activity ID     Activity Name          Start     Finish
    A1030     1     16-May-12 08:00     16-May-12 17:00

    Is there anyone to change is such that my all my activity starts at 0800hr and finishes at 1900hr (10hour work day)?
    I have changed my settings in 'Admin Preference' ->'Time Period' ->'Hours per Time Period' to 10 hours/day and selected the "Use assigned calender to specify the number of work hours for each time period". But its still the same.

    Simply change your "Original Duration" from 8 hours to 10 hours. If it is a lot of activities, perform a global change that says: If(Original Duration = 8h) Then(Original Duration = 10h), or if you prefer Then(Original Duration = Original Duration + 8h)

  • Ability to set same Start date for two different discrete Job in ASCP

    We have two ATO Items and these to be built & shipped together which have different leadtimes, How we can have achieve same start date when we release from ASCP.
    E.g: ATO_Model1*24234 SO Line 1, the rolled up LT=10Days
    ATO_Model2*325325, the rolled up LT=3

  • Same order start date for 4 FG in same work center

    Hi All,
          I have four different Finished goods all have same lead time and same requirement date in same work center, I didn't have capacity planning so all FG have same start date in same work center after MRP run, how it is practically possible on the shopfloor.
    Is there any solution available.
    Sekhar

    The fact of running MRP (with or without Lead time scheduling) has nothing to do with the leveling of capacity. Lets consider both cases :
    Indicator "1" :
    - No capacity load is determined
    - Basic Dates from material master calculated to cover the requirements.
    Indicator "2" :
    - Capacity Loads are calculated.
    - Dates coming from recipes or routings calculated to fulfill the material requirements.
    - Overload displayed in CM01
    What you need is to run Capacity Leveling (CM25, CM29 ), dispatching the orders to the work center in a feasible date. But this step is never included in MRP run.

  • Basic start date and finish date changing in the past

    Hello Gurus,
    I set the scheduling parameters as " Do not adjust basic dates, dep rqmts to order start " and also assigned the priority to populate the basic finish date. System does calculate the finish date based on the priority and start date as current date but it does allow me to change both dates in past or future which should not happen.
    Please do note that I activated the defaulted date as current date as well. Even I removed this mark and did not work.
    Please let me know if there is any way to restrcit the changing it alteast in the past.
    Mahee

    This can be prevented using one the following ways depending upon your needs
    ---> Set the "start in past" field to appropriate value using transaction OPU7 for order type /Plant combination
    ---> Make the "Basic start date  and Basic end date" fields as "Display only" through the Field selection config for the order type.
    ---> Use the user exit on "SAVE" of the order to check for the same

  • 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.

  • Floats for order start dates

    Dear Experts,
    Please throw some light on Earliest start / End dates and Latest start / End dates . Will they affect scheduled dates . How the buffer Total float and free float affect these dates . In our system the field for total float and free float are in display mode . How to edit these fields.

    Hi
    Scheduled dates are affected by the Earliest start and finish dates as they are dependent on these dates.
    Float fields are the Calculated fields base on Basic dates and scheduled dates
    Definition of Total Float is "The time that an activity can be moved to the future starting from its earliest dates without affecting the latest dates of its successor or the latest finish date of the network."
    Similarly for Free Float "The time that an activity can be moved into the future starting from its earliest dates without affecting the earliest dates of its successor or the earliest finish date of the network.
    The free float must not be less than zero or greater than the total float."
    Hence these dates can not be in display mode as they cannot and should not be changed.
    Based on your basic start date and the duration of operations the scheduled dates will change on scheduling and Float will be calculated .
    Also Adjust Dates Setting in OPU7 plays an important role in scheduling.You may explore these settings in your IDES sytem

  • Calculating Remain Finish Date/ Remain Start Date

    Problem:
    I have an issue where I can't change the finish date because the following error message: Remain Finish date cannot be earlier than Remain Start Date.
    I want to change end date to Jan 25 but it keeps calculating/inputting Feb. 18
    Observed:
    All the Predecessor for this activity and the activity start date have been Actualized (December 21 or December 12). I do notice that Early Start for this activity is Feb. 18.
    I tried modifying the Duration: "remaining" and "at complete". I kept "remaining" at 0d; which keeps the date to Feb. 18; however, the "at complete" also gave me an same error message as above.
    Questions:
    1.) How do they calculate Remain Finish Date/Remain Start Date?
    2.) From my observation, my assumption is that early start is causing the calculation of Remain Start Date to stay at Feb. 18. If my assumption is correct, what do I need to push it back to mid-January?
    3.) What should I do?

    The early start of Feb 18th means either a constraint or another acitivity is pushing it out the start to Feb 18th (or you data date is set there).
    Check to see if there are any constraints on the activity.
    Even though you say the predecessors are actualized, running with retainined logic will cause any acitivities to push out if ANY predesessors are not statused. You will need to look at the predecessors of the predecessors (in some cases all the way back to the first activity).
    You can fix this by breaking the links to the non-finished predecessors or by changing the retained logic setting to progress override in the schedule options menu. This is usually not recommended and can cause unrealistic schedules.
    Try and find an activity that ends on Feb 17th. More than likely this activity will be tied to the one you want to change.

  • Change in start date of tax depreciation not for posting in mid of year

    Hi Experts,
    Tax depreciation area is not for posting. The fiscal year is from Jan to Dec. I want to calculate tax depreciation from May 2011 based on Net Book Value of tax depreciation as on 30.04.2011. But once I change the start date of tax depreciation in asset master to 01.05.2011, the system ignores the previous depreciation so I am not getting the NBV of tax depreciation of 30.04.2011.
    Is any setting is required to get this. I can not do changes in posting rules since this tax depreciation is not for posting any thing.
    The fiscal year 2010 is closed and NBV of tax depreciation as on 31.12.2010 of one asset is 80000, If I change the start date of tax depreciation from 1.1.2011 then system correcly take NBV of 31.12.2010 for further depreciation calculation. But if i change the start date of depreciation in between of year the system is calculating depreciation based on NBV of 31.12.2010 but ignores the tax depreciation from 1.1.2011 to 30.04.2011, which I previously run using AFAB.
    Need your assistance to know is it feasible to do this.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Harshad

    Hi Harshad
    The behaviour of the system is very much correct, it is designed to behave that way...
    One, you should not have changed the dep start date....
    two, NBV in SAP is always taken to be NBV @ the start of the year....
    The best wayout I can suggest here is, if you are on EhP4 and EA-FIN active
    a. Change the Dep Key in the asset... You can maintain Time Dependant Dep Terms in asset master i.e. Dep Key X from Jan-Apr and Dep Key Y from MAy onwards
    b. This will however, calculate dep based on NBV at the start of the year, but based on new useful life
    c. Considering your eg: The system is posting more depreciation i.e. 5333 instead of 5155.... So, calculate this amount outside the system and post a Manual Write up ABZU inorder to reduce the Dep and increase the NBV
    Even if you are on not on EhP4, you can follow the same approach as above.... i.e.
    a. Change the Dep Key in asset master.... This will throw up new dep figure, on the basis of New Useful life and NBV at the start of the year
    b. Post a write up from ABZU....
    No need to do Asset to asset transfer in my opinion
    Only diff between EhP4 and Non EhP4 is that the differential depreciation would be lesser if you are on EhP4... i.e. instead of 5333 now, system may throw up depreciation amount of 5666.. So, you may need to post write up of 5666-5155

  • Planned order creation with PDS valid on only order start date and not finish date

    Hi All,
    We have requirement to allow creation of planned order manually if production version is valid on order start date and not finish date.  This is because lead time of order is longer. I refered OSS notes 385602. I could find out solution for this is implementation of OSS note 694140 to change validity mode at activity level to consider start date of first produce activity  in validity interval. Problem is even If I create order in APO by implementiong this note planned order is not transfered to ECC and it gets stuck with error production version not valid.
    Is there any way in ECC to control this? Any config or customization?
    Regards,
    Santosh

    Nilesh,
    I think there is a simple procedural skip happening in your business process. You are right when a planned order is created after MRP it would default assign it to the first available production version. 2options available for us,
    1. First use transaction MF50 and do the line loading and assign the quantites to the production versions/Production lines, so that the actual capacity planning is getting completed. This way you can have planned orders with both the production versions and matching to your actual line capacity.
    2. Use Quota arrangement concept, to automatically split the Planned orders during MRP for a percentage based on individual production versions.
    Now when backflush is performed S225 table is updated and Planned order qty also gets reduced.
    Hope this helps....
