Task types without resources assigned

Hi,
I hope someone can help me figure this out. May sound dumb, but hey, no harm in asking.
Since task types, resources and effort driven option all tie in together, does it matter if using Fixed Units or Fixed Duration for tasks don't have resources assigned and are
not effort driven? What difference will it make since 2 entities are not being used?
FYI - Project tasks are currently as Fixed Units.
Thanks

Hi,
As you well defined that all these parameters (Work, Work type, Units & Durations) are tied and formula too works based on the values in these fields. Duration = Work/Units so the moment you take off units from the formula you are taking off the calculation
functionality (related to these parameters) of the tool and everything gets dependent on your manual inputs.
Even though based on the value you manually enter in work or % complete your actual work and remaining work plus remaining durations etc. do get calculated, yet I would say assign the resources to reach out to factual calculations.

CProjects-MS Project - import and export of task-role-resource assignment

Hi,
We are on PPM5.0
We are currently working on cProjects-MSP client integration.
What we have not been able to configure for import/export so far is:
1. Task-Role-Resource assignment
Whereas we are are able to import/export the "Person Responsible" and "Role Responsible" fields, we have not been able to align the task-role-resource assignments.
We see a "Resource Name" column (Standard) in MSP. When we click on the drop down, we see all the roles from the cProjects project. But the alignment does not happen.
Summary:
On export and import, we need to automatically see the role-resource-task assignment. How is this possible?
2. Code field to "VC_BUPA_GUID" gets a number which is not the BP ID.
Is it possible to import the BP numbers in MSP. Also, how can we assign a number to the role in MSP such that on import into cProjects, the role is already staffed with the corresponding BP.
3. Is it possible to export all the resources (BPs) into a drop down in MSP - like we see the Project Type, Role Type etc.
Thanks.

Hi Anuradha,
Thanks for your inputs.
When we export to MSP, we see the cProjects roles under the "Resource Name" drop down in MSP.
However, they are only seen when we expand on the drop down.
For e.g. RoleA, and RoleB are two roles in cProjects project, along with many other roles.
Both of these roles are assigned to a task, say TASK1.
When exported to MSP, we expect both of these roles to show against TASKI, as "RoleA, RoleB" under the "Resource Name" column. However, these roles are not seen. They only appear as elements of drop down, along with all other roles in the project, when we explicitly click on the drop down.
Please let me know if I are missing out on something.
Thanks.

One or more of the specified resources could not be re-assigned. This can happen if the proposed resource to be assigned has already an assignment on the given task or the specified assignment is deleted or rejected.

I create a brand new plan based on a template.
A task in that plan has a team resource assigned. the task is fixed work. The PM may change the work and duration but not the team resource.
The plan is published.
I delegate my self as a team resource: and try add myself to team task in the timesheet area (using insert row). I can choose some tasks and the add. Most tasks throw this error. This happens if nothing on the plan is changed - it is brand new - minutes
old

Trying to stop the swap to Salesforce - but the errors keep a coming

oooch - I can fix it - I need delete the task and recreate it. Which is amazingly tedious as I cannot see if a task needs recreating or not. There's 10 template plans and an average of 200 tasks - then I have to rename the template - the assign the
new template to the EPT - this will be a long night; with only complaints at the end.

What is difference btw project Assignment, Resource Assignment and task Assignment.

Hi,
I am new project accounting Module .
what is difference btw project Assignment, Resource Assignment and task Assignment.

Project Assignment, Resource Assignment refers to the resource management part and Task assignment is basically the work assignment to the resource.
An assignment/requirement is created in PJR for create demand for the resource requirement of the project and when the resource is aligned he can be assigned to the task in the work plan.
Refers to the top down approach in this case.
Additionally a resource can be assigned to the work plan and a assignment can be created to get the resource allocated to the project.
Refers to the bottom up approach in this case

A resource assignment for new task during another task MS Project 2010

I would like to assing a new task during another task.
Resource A is assigned Task X from May 12th - May 16th. 5 hours per day.
I would like to assing new Task Y for May 14th. It will take 7 hours. So I would like to set up in MS Project 2010 as:
May 12th Task X: 5 hours
May 13th Task X:7 hours
May 14th Task Y:7 hours
May 15th Task X:8 hours
May 16th Task X:5 hours
I set up Task X for Resource A as from May 12th - May 16th working hours as 25 hours in gant chart.
Then I set up Task Y for Resource A as May 14th working hours as 7 hours in gant chart.
I see Resource is as follows.
May 12th Task X: 5 hours
May 13th Task X:5 hours
May 14th Task X:5 hours Task Y:7 hours -> Total 12 hours
May 15th Task X:5 hours
May 16th Task X:5 hours
Please let me know how I set up what I would like.

2 X options:
1) You may be tracking too granularly. A task should create something and then hand off to another task. in this case, you may as well just combine them into a single task for about a week or so. Most companies don't track hours per day
that granularly as well. I'd look to schedule by the week.
2) Split the tasks into multiple tasks and establish dependencies between them. Assign the resource to each task at different amounts of work.

Multiple resources assigned to task, single resource complete it to 100%?

I would like to assign a task to multiple resources (say, for example, the computer services techs) and have whichever one completes the task mark it as complete. Any time this happens, it completes it only up to the fraction of the task they have. For example,
if I have assigned 5 of them to a task, one of them finishes it, and marks it as complete, the project only shows 20% complete, which is wrong. Is there another way to do this?
Thanks,
Ian

Hello Ian,
Are you working with MS Project Standalone (ie not connected to Project Server)? In case you are, you have to set the remaning work for the other resources (that didn't actually worked on the task) to 0. For that I'd advice to split your window in MS Project
and use the task form in order to edit the remaining work for each assignments.
In case you're using Project Server (which version?) with timesheet or/and task updates, you could use the team assignments. This feature allows you assigning tasks to a team, then members of this team will self-assign themselves to the appropriate tasks
and update those tasks.
Hope this helps.

Con not assign TASK TYPE for Put away during PO receipt

Good morning everyone!
I spent a lot of time to setup WMS Task assigment rule with no result.
My goal is to make Task assigment for inbound tasks. Particulary put away after receipt.
Expected behavor: after receipt in receiving area system should assign task type. This can be checked via "Warehouse control board" form, "Task type" column.
Actual (current behavour): task is created and even can be seen via "Warehouse control board" form. But there's no task type. For Task assigment the only rule exists.
To be sure that it works with other tasks types I've checked on Move order. Works well.
NEED YOUR ADVISE
Thanks in advance.
Eugene.

This case happened to me too in R12.
The system did not assign task type after receipt in the receiving area. Moreover, I cannot update status from "Pending" to "Queue" to the user via "Warehouse Control Board" form for these put away tasks. It always show the error message "Cannot update putaway task." after press execute button. So How can I assign these task to specific user?
Need your advise too,
Thanks,
Surachai.

Project Server 2013: Project progress task available to only assigned resources.

I have a project in project server 2013. In that I am preparing the project plan. Now I want that only the respective person to whom I have assigned the task can modify the % complete. Not even the owner can edit it.
Shruti Vyas

Associate Development Services.

Project owner can modify the the plan either from PWA or from MPP.
As far as % complete is concerned for assignment only Resource who will be assigned to the task can fill the actual for the task either from Task page or from Timesheet page if Single Entry Mode is enabled. No one else can fill the actual for the task from
Timesheet page and task page. AS assignment will be available to the only that resource who is assigned to the task.
But Project owner can do the modify the project plan any time either from MPP or from PWA you can not restrict him/her. But as far as % complete is concerned do the setting
To prevent the project manager from updating a team member's actual time worked, select the Only allow task updates via Tasks and Timesheets check box. it will be
available on server setting --> Task setting and display

EIC Task Types

Dear Experts,
I'm currently involved in an EIC implementation, and we just discovered we did some overzealous customizing. We'd like to undo the changes we've made, but we need some specific information that is now lost.
Before we take steps that are perhaps more complicated then they need be, I was wondering if someone could provide us with a screenshot of a certain IMG step.
Though please only help if you meet the following two requirements.
- You have ERP 6 with Enhancement Pack 2 and some serivce pack installed on top of that (if the entry FOLLOWUP_VP is in the table, it's the right version)
- The table has not been customized on your system.
The table I need a screenshot for is in IMG step Personnel Management / Employee Interaction Center (EIC) / Interaction Center Web-Client / Application Functions / Agent Inbox / Define Inbox Task Types
If a screenshot is not possible, then the specific information I need is the object ID for FOLLOWUP_VP
And the 'tracking' and 'completed' settings for all the following entries:
FOLLOWUP_VP
FU_INITIAL
FU_ACT_CMPL
FU_BACK
FU_CMPL
FU_ERROR
EICREQUEST
Thanks in advance for anyone able to help,

Type conflict with ASSIGN in BADI for Virtual Key Figures

We get the below error dump in ST22 when executing BEx queries that contain virtual key figures.
error message - 'Type conflict with ASSIGN in
program "ZCL_IM_THR_RSR_OLAP_BADI======CP".'
We have a BADI implementation that calculates few virtual key figures included in some infocubes & multiproviders. The error would arise if we execute two queries (containing common Virtual Key figures) one after the other without closing the first query.
We found a note "Note 1237689 - Virtual chars. and key figures in input-ready querys" that could be relevant to our issue and wanted to apply this note but unfortunately the note is only applicable to SAPKW70016 to SAPKW70018 and we are support pack 15.
Can you please advise what the problem could be/suggest corrections for the same.

Hi Kulmohan,
Did you fix your issue? We are facing the same issue. Could you please let me know if you have any solution for this issue,
Thank you,

Error message: 'Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card' - then - 'Error. Out of memory'

Hi all. This is a new error I've never seen before.
It's stopping me doing anything at all really.
As soon as I start up FCP and click on a sequence I get this message: 'Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card.'
Then I click on OK and it says 'Error - Out of memory.'
I've heard rumours that it could be the fact I'm using a strange type of JPEG, but it still happens with PNGs.
I've made sure my scratch disks are all going to the right place. I also have 100gb of free space.
The version of FCP I'm using is 6.0.5. I'm using an iMac with OSX 10.4.11 (yes, I know it's old!) and I've downloaded the latest version of Quicktime.
Help, anyone? I have an assignment due in tomorrow.
Many thanks...

p.s. having looked at other posts, perhaps I am missing some (or all) of the relevant codecs?
In the folder Macintosh HD > Library > Quicktime
there is basically nothing. Do you think this is the problem?
If so, where do I download FCP codecs from?
Many thanks..

Put on account without reference assignment.

After completion of the payment design F110 are some types of documents (the order for costs) put on account without reference assignment.
This problem occured after recording SAPKB46C15.
Many thanks for your help.

My understanding of offers..... The $300 Reward Card for triple play services is an ONLY offer, meaning no monthly discount being applied. No 12 month commitment, cancel anytime without $180 Early termination fee.This is primarly for short term user who knows that service time will be limited. The $150 Reward Card for triple play is with discount offer. You may request to give up your $50-60 a month discount, to receive the $300 Reward Card but will be hundreds of dollars behind in savings over 12 month contract. http://www.att.com/u-verse/explore/offer-details.jsp

MM - output type not *allways* assigned during posting with MB1C?

Hi guys,
in one of our R/3 4.6C systems we have developed an automation process, where one of the steps is to call transaction MB1C in background mode and to do some postings in K-stock (expenditure), depending on input data. There are few output types, which are supposed to be attached automaticaly to the newly produced MM document, and further to be printed out by end-users.
Everything goes as expected at development and test stage. Even in production there were allmost allways no problems. But in some unpredicted occations output types are not automaticaly assigned. In case output types are not automaticaly assigned, end user is supposed to assign them manualy, which is annoying (obviously).
The problem does not arise at our testing system.
Due to roll-out of the automation process to more stores at the client' company this problem rises more times.
We have started some investigation, but are stuck up to now.
Does anyone have a clue what might goes wrong and where to push our efforts in order to resolve the problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
thanks for comment. Perhaps I missed something in my explanation. There are few output types, which are assigned automaticaly to MM-document when it is posted. "Few" means 8. And all of them are assigned as expected in case of manual processing, and even when posted in this automation procecess in background.
Well, I have found the problem. As I explained, this is an automated process. There might be more than 1 document to be created one after another. Allways the 1st document is created correctly with output types assigned, but all next documents (2nd, 3th...) are created without output types assigned automaticaly.
The issues was - there was missing check in the recording RM07M-XNAPR = 'X' (GI/GR slip Print = 'X'), and further output types were not assigned for the 2-nd (and next) documents. Strangely it appears in the document preview (via MB03 for example), even if it was not supplied. Even more strangely, 1-st document gots all the output types assigned, which perhaps was due to some inheriting behaviour.
We reproduced the problem in test system and fixed it.
Thanks again.

Ivaylo

CIF: ECC Material without plant assignment

Hi Experts,
i have a question regarding to CIF'ing of ECC materials to APO.
Is it possible to CIF ECC materials to APO without an assignment of a plant to this material? If yes, how is this possible?
We have several materials without such an assignment maintained in ECC (material group packiging material) and they are needed in APO.
Kind regards
Jens

Jens,
When I say 'planning system', I am not talking about predictabiity. I am talking about the generic term concerning the management of supply and demand (which is mostly what APO does).
In ECC, a packaging material is not normally treated as a resource. It is a material. It is unclear to me how you are using packaging materials to represent resources.
A Product master can exist in APO without locations assigned. Therefore, I suspect that using enhancements, it might be possible to CIF across only MARA data and not MARC data, but I have never tried it. Perhaps one of the other Gurus can offer additional insights.
Best Regards,
DB49
