Task custom field and formula custom field don't correspond Project Server 2013

Hi people, I have an interesting case in Project Server 2013 SP1 CU Apr:
I have a custom task number field called AM. This field get's filled by a PSI action with actual material costs from an external system.
I also have a custom task cost formula field that is called AM*. This field is a formula field that has the formula [AM]. And summary tasks use the formula field as well.
As soon as I create a project, assign costs in the external system and let PSI fill the values within AM I get correct values in AM. But nothing is calculated on AM*. If I edit the project in the browser and publish, check in and revisit the project
AM* still isn't filled.
If I open the project in MS Project Pro the calculation comes through nicely, however I do not want to use MS project Pro to see correct data in browser.
Some tests I have already done:
I have noticed that when I create a new calculated task field AM2*, this get's calculated correctly on the already existing task.
I have also noticed that opening the custom field in server settings and just saving the field creates correct values on AM*.
What is going on? I don't want to save the custom formula field every day... There are 11 custom formula fields in the environment at the moment.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for the quick response. Please note that the fieldnames are [AM] and [AM*]. There is a difference in field name due to the astrix. However I did think about the situation and changing one of the field names all together didn't do anything for the
situation at hand.
It looks like some kind of refresh thing, because without changing anything in the custom field just saving the field in server settings will turn op good values. However, values already turned up good in Project Professional 2013. And that suggest
that there is a calculation error on the PWA side wouldn't you say?
Anyway, thank you for taking time to look into this matter.

  • Pull large amounts of data using odata, client API and so takes a long time in project server 2013

    We are trying to pull large amounts of data in project server 2013 using both client API and odata calls, but it seem to take a long time. How is this done
    In project server 2010 we did this creating SQL views in both the reporting database and for list creating a view in the content database. Our IT dept is saying we can't do this anymore. How does a view in Project database or content database create issues?
    As long as we don't add a field in the table. So how's one to do this with creating a view?

    Hello,
    If you are using Project Server 2013 on premise I would recommend using T-SQL against the dbo. schema in the Project Web Database for your reports, this will be far quicker that the APIs. You can create custom objects in the dbo. schema, see the link below:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee767687.aspx#pj15_Architecture_DAL
    It is not supported to query the SharePoint content database directly with T-SQL or add any custom objects to the content database.

  • Project Server 2013 not saving custom field data

    Hello all,
    I have a Project Server 2013 deployment with several Project-level custom fields.
    One of them, never saves the info typed in. All others work just fine but this one does not like to save anything. There's no error in queues or the ULS.
    I'm so lost with it. Any thoughts?
    Rene Alvarez

    An update on this issue.
    I could isolate it to the project plan template. If I use my custom fields with an EPT without a plan template, I have no problem.
    So the problem is the template right? Well, I did the following:
    Create a blank template and attach it to the EPT. Result: all Ok.
    Create a template with 10 tasks (task name only) and attach it to the EPT. Result: all Ok.
    Create a template with my full 135 tasks (task name only) and attach it to the EPT. Result: all Ok.
    Create a template with the 135 tasks (task name and WBS) and attach it to the EPT. Result: all Ok.
    Create a template with the 135 tasks (task name, WBS and milestones) and attach it to the EPT. Result: FAIL. Cannot save custom fields again.
    A user noticed something. If he opens a problematic project in Project Pro, and publish it again (no changes) then the project accepts data in the custom fields.

  • How to make the 'Finish Date' field Editable in Project server 2013

    Hi All,
    In Project server 2013 on premises deployment, When I try to create a new enterprise project [Also in case of new custom project type], Only the 'Start Date' field is available. The 'Finish Date' field is by default taking the value of the 'start Date' itself.
    I am unable to make this 'Finish Date' field editable.
    Any pointers on this would be very helpful,
    Thanks
    Shanky

    Shanky --
    When you create a new project in either Microsoft Project Professional or Project Online, the system does not allow you to enter both a Start date and a Finish date for the project.  Here is how the software works:
    You enter the Start date of the project.
    You completely plan the project with tasks, task dependencies, task Durations, and assigning resources to tasks.
    Based on the Start date you provide, plus all of the task information, the software calculates the Finish date of the project for you.  So, you cannot provide both the Start date and the Finish date, nor is they any way to force the system to allow
    you to do this.  Hope this helps.

  • Custom Column for Project Code Number & Search Box to search Content in Project Server 2013

    Hi all,
    I want to add a custom column in Project Center view for showing some Numerical Projects codes like 4523, 5248,8956 like that... Each code will represent Project assigned with that code in Project Server 2013. Also let me now if i can add some search box
    in Project Center page through which i can search Project Code or Project Name. Currently, provided search bar not working in Project Server 2013.
    Need it urgent..Kindly help

    Hi,
    If you want to add this column in a project center view, be careful to choose a project view in the "manage views" views' list. Also it must be a project custom field and not a task field. As Paul said, we assume that the field with the code exists
    and has been previousky created by you.
    Hope this helps,

  • Custom Ribbon Menu in MS Project Professional 2013

    Hi all,
    I want to create a custom ribbon menu in MS Project Professional 2013 but I am not sure how to save it as a template and apply it enterprise wide.
    Or is it something that needs to be packaged?
    Thanks!
    SJ

    Apologies for the delay. To get this working in VBA you need to construct a Ribbon XML format version of the menu as you want it. I've copied an example below, but there is a
    Microsoft page with information on how the schema works. Key lessons I've learnt are that:
    button id and group id values - doesn't seem to matter what they are, but they must be unique
    imageMSOs - for the gallery of images that you can choose from is published by Microsoft
    here. I found various pages that described how to add custom images to the ribbon in Excel, but I never managed to get them to work for me, so just stuck with the images in this file.
    Don't expect any meaningful error messages if you make mistakes in the XML - it just won't appear. I found putting the value of the string into an XML editor was useful for highlighting some errors.
    The ribbon menu is actually applied to projects rather than the application, so if you don't have any projects open, then the ribbon menu won't appear.
    Here's my example, which adds a "New Menu" tab to the ribbon, with a couple of buttons to launch macros. This can just be added to a new module in your global file.

  • Timesheet Error with custom Line Classifications in Project Server 2013

    We implemented Project Server 2013 last year and began using timesheets.  We are a billable consulting group.  In order manage our billing, we have created three custom line classifications, "Billable Onsite", "Billable Offsite",
    and "Non-billable".  We do not use "Standard" as a line where time is entered.  We are using SEM.  We have chosen no prepopulation on timesheets.  Our system is updated through the March 2013 update.
    The error we get is presented as "__error Loading" with the title bar of the pop-up reading "Message from webpage".  This occurs when you attempt to add a new line to a timesheet and choose one of the custom line classifications. 
    A confusing aspect to this, while we have prepopulation turned off, the timesheet is populated with "Standard" lines for the tasks that are currently assigned to the user.  We have come up with a workaround that works sometimes but not all the
    time.  When the user receives this error, they move away from the timesheet screen and then return.  They add all of the applicable lines to the timesheet with "Standard" even if they already exist on the timesheet and save.  Then
    they add the lines with the appropriate line classification and the time.  If they receive the "__error loading" error again, then the timesheet can not be corrected.  You must delete the timesheet and recreate.  We have been able
    to recreate the problem in a vanilla install with a custom line classification added.
    Just yesterday, I was able to find a error log entry that may help some of you identify the source:
    General Unhandled Exception in _TimeSheet.GetTimesheetForGridJsonFromViewUid_ Attributes:  System.ArgumentException: Assignment line already exists for assignment uid: d9afeb60-d589-e311-bd64-08edb9dd8afb     at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.BusinessLayer.Timesheet.VerifyLineIsUnique(Guid

    We have not been able to find any similar timesheet issues here or on other boards.  Our users, as you can imagine, are getting increasingly frustrated.  A ny advice?
    Thanks,
    Nate

    More scenario testing today. Tested with both "No Prepopulation" and populate assigned task options! no difference in our instance. We are only updated through March 2013, waiting for IT support. We have previously tried the deactivation/reactivation
    of custom classifications. Tried with and without template, no difference. So the new scenario and findings:
    1. Create a project with 2 tasks, one assigned and one not. Save and publish.
    2. Create a timesheet, do not use an existing timesheet. Here we found, in spite of population option chosen, the timesheet was populated with a Standard line for the assigned task. With no action taken other than creating timesheet, the reporting assignment
    table showed the new entry.
    3. Add an assignment to the other task in the project, publish.
    4. Open the same timesheet period. Now I saw the other task appear on the screen. It did not show in the database. I could not save to make it appear in the database unless I did something else to the screen to make it "dirty". Once I did that,
    I could save and the second Standard line appeared In the database. 
    If I tried to add a custom line class line to the TS when the Standard line was not in the database, I get the error. It doesn't matter if it shows on the screen.
    If it shows on the screen but not in the db, and I attempt to add a non-standard line, it will error, unless I manually add the standard line first.  The user would not know to do this.
    You will not be able to reproduce if you make the assignments and then create the TS. You need to try in reverse order.
    It appears as though there are issues with both the timesheet population options and the code that runs when the TS loads after it's initial creation. I'm wondering why on creation the standard line is created and committed to the db, but on reload with
    new tasks it doesn't' do the same. Also when No Prepopulation is turned on, why my time sheets are always prepopulated.
    Sorry for any typos, working from my ipad keyboard. Thanks for your help!

  • Project Server 2013 Ribbon Customization using a custom action

    Is it possible to customize the ribbon in the Project Center through a Solution? Is the only way to add a button to the Ribbon through an app?
    I am using Project Server 2013 on Prem and every time I deploy a custom action - button to the ribbon in the Project Center the button becomes greyed out/disabled and says "This control is currently disabled." I haven't been able to find any examples

    Hi sir,

    I have used client context for project server 2013.
    I have also load and execute query.but fail to resolve it Please suggest me and provide solution.
    vijay

    Hi,    
    If you use the Include<TSource> Method in the Load method, we will retrieve only the ids of items in this query, so
    the listItems.ListItemCollectionPosition will not be initialized.
    You can use the <ViewFields> tag in CAML Query to specify the field values to return with each item instead.

  • Project Server 2013 Tasks differ in project site and plan

    I have an Project Server 2013 enterprise plan that I created with an associated project site. The plan has tasks added to the timeline. The project site has a timeline webpart but the problem is the tasks added to the timeline differ.
    Does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem here? I checked the timeline webpart and it's correct.
    Thanks!
    [Images below].
    The following image is taken from the schedule PDP.
    This image taken from the project site depicts what is out of sync.

    Hi Guillaume,
    Yes, I've checked the queue while publishing the project. It's successful without any errors. I don't remember if I checked the ULS logs, but what I suspect is that it will say something along the lines of orphaned tasks in the project site.
    Anyways I've tried a number of things and I think the only 2 options I have are:
    Re-create the project site then sync the plan to it
    Ask MSFT for a script to resolve the orphaned tasks
    For the same of time, I'm going to assess how long it would take to re-create the project site.
    Thanks,

  • Creating custom Category for Risk & Issue in Project Server 2013

    Dear All,
    How to Change Risk & Issue Category default as per business requirement when selecting them through drop down or radio button?
    I can do only Project wise from project site & then setting changes. But i want to customize it for all projects which are getting published in Project Server 2013. So doing manually every time project wise not making sense & consuming time also.
    Kindly help..

    I have created custom template but not getting as demonstrated in  blog
    post from Prasanna  specially
    end part where Risk, Issue n all content can be seen. In My case only simple 3-4 items can be seen apart from risk, issue etc.
    After that i saved this custom template to my
    one of EPT in Project Server 2013. But unable to customize my Risk & Issue Category options for all projects. However, i have gone through that post & unable to understand as described in 2010 & i am using 2013 version.
    Kindly let me know after saving custom Template
    to EPT how to move further to customize these risk & issue categories globally.!!

  • Project Server 2013 Workflow Task Permissions Breaking Inheritance and Causing Workflow to Cancel

    I have an on-premise instance of Project Server 2013 with a workflow that includes an
    Assigned Task to assign users to Approve or Reject a WF phase. The workflow successfully assigns the task and notifies the user of the task. However, after (or possibly just prior) the user Approves the task, the workflow is automatically
    cancelled. 
    By default, the WF Task List is set to inherit permissions. After Approving an item, it appears that the list permissions automatically breaks inheritance, causing the workflow to cancel. This occurs somewhat regularly after resetting permissions to inherit
    from the parent site. Although there are stretches where the issue doesn't occur. I'm not sure what's causing the list permissions to change. 
    This issue occurs in both our Dev and Prod environments. Has anyone experienced this issue with permissions breaking inheritance automatically?

    Hi Vic,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow was cancled when you created a workflow with Impersonation Step to break inheritance permissions.
    After breaking inheritance permissions, make sure the workflow initiator (the creator) still has least edit permission on the list.
    In addition, please check the workflow history list to find more information about this issue.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Project server 2013 csom save and publish

    Hi,
    In Project server 2013 PWA when you edit project custom fields and save the queue job execute the following jobs: 
    - "Project Update from PSI"
    - "Project Publish Summary"
    - "Reporting (Project Publish Summary)"
    In my code (CSOM)  i can only use : " QueueJob Job = projChechedOut.Publish(true);"
    which is creating all these jobs:
    Project Update from PSI
    Project Publish Notifications
    Project Publish
    Project Checkin
    Prepare Project Web App Permission Synchronization For Projects
    Reporting (Project Publish)
    Project Workflow Check-in
    Synchronize Project Web App Permissions to Project Web App
    Synchronize Project Web App Permissions to Project Site
    Reporting (Project Sync)
    Is there way to "simulate" the save from PWA instead of fully publishing the project using CSOM,  because it is a lighter solution since my code is supposed to only set custom field value (if i only update, not publish it is written to the
    Draft) and secondly performance (less jobs) is better ?
    Thx in advance !!

    Hi,
    as an update to my post:
    - In PSI the method is project.queuepublishsummary(guid jobid, guid projuid)
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg200290.aspx
    the description says: Publishes the stage summaries of the specified project, in a partial publish operation.
    I am wondering if the equivalent method exists in CSOM. There is this method: PublishedProject.UpdateVisibilityCustomFields() but it seems doing exactly the same thing as publishing a DraftProject.
    Any ideas ?
    Thx

  • Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter can be set and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)

    My main question is: Can new PWA views be created whereby a filter for that view can be set, and associate to the view by default? (Project Server 2013 ONLINE)? and can I have a filter set to filter on person logged on to...
    In previous versions of Project Server, when CREATING a PWA view, we were able to apply/ define a filter for that view.  Does not seem like it is the case in Project Server 2013 Online.  And if I remember, we could also use the URL Guid_view_id. 
    Please confirm; and / or tell me how-to.
    What I was hoping to do is the following... Given that our standard that we have adopted for reporting time is 'My Timesheets' (fyi, Single Mode Entry=ON), we have some resources who have others who do it on their behalf via 'My Tasks' (ie., accomplished
    by using the 'Assignment Owner' field, accordingly).  Therefore, when entering time on someone else's behalf within 'My Tasks', we like to present the user that is logged in only the tasks that they are are assigned to update on others' behlaf.
    I know that there is another more elegant approach to doing this which may be to use the Delegation feature. But since we are trying to stick to Sharepoint Security mode for now, this is not an option for the time being.
    Any help appreciated would be greatly appreciated.
    \Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

    Hi Spiro,
    1- You still can define in Project Online a filter in the view settings, it is located just above the category setting. Here is a screenshot of the summary project center view:
    2- The view GUID is not anymore in the URL, since the URL triggers an action only on the webpart and not on the whole page. I agree this is annoying since it was great to send a URL with a specific view.
    3- Concerning the access to my timesheet versus my task, I'm not sure to get a full understanding but on a general way, it is much more easy to deal with those situation using categories which you cannot do with the SP permission mode.

  • Project Server 2013 - Approved Tasks not applied to Project Schedule

    Environment Details: Microsoft Project Server 2013 SP1
    When an Resource completes a tasks within the Task or Timesheet page at the end of each day, the tasks is routed to the Project Owner for approval. The Project Owner (Project Manager) approves the task. During this process no errors are displayed.
    When the Project Owner (Project Manager) goes into the Project Professional 2013 client to view how the project is progressing, and update the project completion date, the updates is not applied to the project. 
    This worked for some time, but has recently stopped working with no changes made to the environment. Any help would be great, as our project manager's are manually updating the tasks prior to approving them so they can report back on the project each week. 

    Hello ProjMgrMatt
    Sounds pretty serious, but I think something is missing somewhere.
    Make sure that the Status Manager field is the same as the Project Owner. 
    Check to queue to be sure that nothing is stuck and waiting.
    Create a new project, publish, submit, approve, etc and see if it still happens.
    Cheers!.
