Subprojects having Portfolio Items

Can we assign Subproject (to a Project Task) that is already assigned to a Portfolio Item, which in turn is under an Initiative?
We have a scenario wherein we have Initiative (as the upper most umbrella). We have Items under the Initiative, and these items have associated projects along with. Now, to the task of the project, we plan to assign subprojects. What we have not tested (and would like to know) is the system behavior when we assign projects as subproject that already has an Item assigned to it which in turn is assigned to another (or same initiative). How does cost flow and other operations work?

Hi Deepak,
I have not tried in the system the scenario suggested by you. But as per the functionality, it should work perfectly.
An initiative can have multiple items, an iten can be assigned to project in cProjects. And a specific project can have task linked to sub-project.
Have you tried it in the system?

Amit

Creation of cProjects automatically from creation of Portfolio Item in xRPM

Hi,
If we check out the box for the automatic creation of cProject along with creation of Portfolio item then the cProject as well as an internal order is created in the system.
While I am creating an item and selecting for automatic creation, I am not able to get the internal order and not even the corresponding cProjects.
Help please !!

Portfolio Item & Initiative - What is the difference?

Dear All,
I have a basic question.
What is the difference between Portfolio Item & Initiative?
Regards,
Bhushan

Hi,
A portfolio item is used to represent a single idea, concept or project. An initiative is typically a very large project or program or initiative which can contain multiple portfolio items. That's a high level explanation, let me know if you have anything more specific in mind.

Portfolio item template

Hi SAP PPM experts,
I am currently working on SAP PPM5.0
3 requirements
1. When creating a portfolio item, there are 2 options:
via item template
via item type
==> I would like to make mandatory the use of item template.
2. When creating an item template
authorization data can be filled
however it is not posible to add document structure template as well as linked authorizations
==> I would like to add document structure data and authorization linked to folder/document in item template.
3. When copying an item to another item
yo have to choose the new bucket
you can only select an item type as item template option is not available for input
==> I would like to make possible the choice of item template when copying an element to another.
Any ideas, suggestions???
Thanks in advance.
Sanaâ.

Copy portfolio item text to cProject description

Dear all,
When creating a new portfolio and setting the flag "automatically create cProjects-project" a new cProjects-project is created. However, the project description is left blank and we would like to have the portfolio item text copied.
Is this possible?
Kind regards,
John.

Hi John,
You can do this by mapping these two fields in DFM attribute synchronization. The item text will then get copied to the project long description field.

Status Synchronization in Portfolio Item to Project Definition

Dear Gurus;
This is my first time in custom the Synchronization andi need help to make this "Status Synchronization"in Portfolio Item to Proyect Definition.
I know that i can make this in the follow SPRO:
1. Maintain DFM Business Transactions
2. Map Business Transactions for Synchronization
3. Synchronous and Asynchronous Status Synchronization
4. Map DFM Business Transactions to Project / Initiative Business Transaction
5. Map Portfolio Management Status to DFM Business Transaction
6. Map DFM Business Transaction to Portfolio Management Status
I made all of this configuration but still not work.
Please help.
Regards,
Mariano

Hi Santhosh;
First of all, you have to know that the function of Portfolio Status (Item or Decision Point) are "User Status" and in Project Status (Project definition and Phases) are "System Status", you can't configure Portfolio User Status to the Project User Status.
For Example: I have been setting the Item User Status "Suspended" that are synchronized to the Project System Status "Canceled", and it's worked fine.
Do this steps:
1) Maintain DFM Business Transactions -> don't touch this (SAP standard)
2) Map Business Transactions for Synchronization -> don't touch this (SAP standard)
3) Map Project / Initiative Business Transaction to DFM Business Transaction -> Here you have to map the source bus transaction to the DFM bus transaction (are the same).
PDCP PPO DX05 DFM5
4) Map Portfolio Management Status to DFM Business Transaction -> It's the same as point 3, but in reverse.
PDCP PPO DFM5 DX05
5) Map Portfolio Management Status to DFM Business Transaction -> Here you have to set the old status to the new status (i used to define the Item Status to he DFM Business transaction).
PPO Item PDCP 185 190 DFM5
6) Map DFM Business Transaction to Portfolio Management Status -> It's the same as point 5, but in reverse.
PPO Item PDCP DFM5 190
Hope this help you.
Best regards.

Saving a Portfolio item

cannot save a portfolio item because the save button is not activated. Any ideas on how to activate this button?

HI Cook,
I have no idea becuase I understood that if it was a authorization problem you cannot modify the item not you can modify and not save it,
Could you check the standard webdynpro SE80 --> Package RPM_UI_WD --> Application Configuration --> RPM_ITEM_DETAILS_CFG --> Start configuration --> display --> go to componet configuration :
here you see : varianr RIH _ CREATE or RIH _EDIT ( select the option you are doing) and check on the right screen if the button 'Save' is active.
If it is active, then I assume that the issue i something related to authorization or something custom you have in your system..
If it is inactive , I suppose you have a problem in your system,
I hope this can be useful,

Portfolio Item - Timeline monitor

Hi,
on Portfolio Item level I'm not able to access the Timeline Monitor. As I don't get any Java error message and a table view is displayed instead, I'm suspecting some missing configuration.
I've looked into the Launchpads configuration and compared this towards a SAP demo system in which the Timeline Monitor is displayed as default (Gantt Chart). I have not yet come accross any inconsistent configuration.
Does anyone know of some configuration prerequisites required in order to display the Timeline Monitor?
Thanks :-)
Lars

Hi Lars,
Normally the graphic view contains a set of screens.
1) Table - on the left hand side
2) Graphic - On the right hand side (refer the below screenshot).
Same concept is with PPM-Project management graphic view also.
I see this as an java issue in your PC.. Can you try this with a different PC.
If it does not work in the other PC also, then it is better to raise a OSS message with SAP.
And one more thing..were you able to solve a different graphic issue in Portfolio structure.
