Unable to Change Project Start Date in Project Server 2013

Dear All,
I have created new EPT in Project Server 2013. After that, when i am creating any new project in PWA 2013 by using newly created EPT, then i am not able to change Date as per my requirement.
Basically, EPT created on 02/18/2015 & even though i am changing Project start date then its again showing same date (02/18/2015)
Kindly suggest what i can do.

Hello,
Does this new EPT have a project plan template associated? What happens if you set the EPT not to have a plan template then create a new project from this EPT? Does that let you update the start date? The start date should default to today (date the project
plan was created). If that works as expected, add the plan template back to the EPT (if you had one to start with) and test creating another project to see if that then works or you then get the same behaviour. This will point us to the cause hopefully.
Do other EPTs work as expected?

Project Start Date – modification after project was saved.

I created new project with a start date 01/April/2015 and saved it. Next, I change the start date to 14/April/2015 in the setup.
However still in statistics windows I see the start date as 01/April/2015. Additionally, every new task has start date 01/April/2015.
Could you please advise me how can I change that?

MS Project Standard 2013

Thank you for your prompt reply.
1.Firstly I set up project start date as 01/04/2015 in Project, Project Information and in File, Project Information and save document.
2. Afterwards, I modified start date into 14/04/2015 in the same places.
However, the date in Project, Project Information - Statistics was still 01/04/2015 (please check screenshot).
3. But finally, after several openings and closing of the document the date in Statistics is correct (hard to say what is the reason).

Actvities before the Project Start Date

Every now & then, we will get an activity which is a precursor to a project kicking off as a project start date so in theory from that start date would be known as either week 1 or Month 1.
So in this case, any actvivity starting a month for example before the kick off date should be shown in "- Month 1" but in Project 2013, it takes this new date as Month 1 even when the Project Start Date has not changed.
The earlier versions of Project, you could manipulate this so what's changed?...Is there a way around this?
I am not using Project server as will never use it to save myself from grief & stress!...prefer to keep it simple!

I couldn't test it with 2013 but with 2010 the week numbering starts at the project start date, so you can have a project start date on a certain date which will be your week1, and then set predecessors with no impact on the numbering.
If you confirm that this behavior jas changed with 2013 version, an option could be to enter as manually scheduled tasks with no dates the tasks prior to the project start date, using custom fields to enter the actual dates.
Hope this helps,

Help scheduling tasks from both project start date and from later deliverable dates

I am trying to set up a project scheduling template for a number of similar projects.
These projects will require initial work to be completed at the project start date, working through the critical path to an end date.
However. Certain milestones/deliverables are required on specific dates in teh project (they are recievable by internal customers on firm dates). I am having trouble scheduling my predecessors for these deliverables to occur as late as possible.
I.e. I want my procurement to start x-weeks (depending on the task) before the deliverable is due.
Trying to manually set the deliverable date and hoping project will work back and adjust the predecessors to fit isnt quite working... is this possible?
Im using MSP2010 standard

nategalambos,
Actually this is probably a very common scheduling scenario. Schedules often have interim milestones, sometimes with fixed dates.
Just-in-time scheduling has received a fair amount of press in the past but in my view it has some very real negative downsides. I believe the best plans have contingency built in to allow for unknown problems. For example, let's say you have a task that
must deliver an item on a particular date and in order to build that item you need to order material. You know the built and test time, it's all done by machine, takes 10 days, and doesn't vary from item to item. The lead time for the material is 6 weeks,
so you set up the schedule to place the material order 8 weeks before the delivery date. However, there is a problem, the vendor who supplies the material has a problem at his factory and the material is delayed such that it won't be delivered in 6 weeks but
instead it will take 8 weeks. Because you have not allowed for contingency in your plan, your delivery date is now in jeopardy.
But to answer your question, one way to set up the predecessor you want is as follows. Using my example above, the Place Order task, let's say the delivery date task is task ID 5 and is a milestone. The place order task could have a predecessor of 5SF-40d,
or 5FS-40d will also work if the place order task and the delivery date are both milestones.
Hope this helps.

Update SharePoint list with project finish date on Project.Updated event

Hello,
I want to update a column in a SharePoint list with the project finish date when a project is updated on Project Server. My OnUpdated event handler is being called ok, but if I change the project start date Project Server runs an asynchronous republishing
on the project, and my event handler ends up being called before the finish date is update by the republishing job, so the code writes the "old" finish date on the SharePoint list. The solutions I could think of are:
Identify the republishing job on Project Server queue, pool the queue waiting for it to finish, then read the finish date and update the list item in SharePoint.
Include a custom job on Project Server queue after the republishing job, that reads the finish date and update the list item in SharePoint.
I don't know if any of the solutions are feasible and how to implement them. Has anyone coded something like this and/or have a better solution?
Thanks,
GB

I vote for the option 1.
I did for one of my event handler..Did you try "on published" event?
            projectSvc.QueueUpdateProject(jobUid, SessionUID, projectDss, false);
            //WaitForQueue(q, jobUid);
            jobUid = Guid.NewGuid();
            projectSvc.QueuePublish(jobUid, e.ProjectGuid, false, string.Empty);
            jobUid = Guid.NewGuid()

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

Need to change to starting dates of employees

Hi All,
I need to change the starting dates of two employees from apr-2012 to apr 2008, now if i end date the employee, how can i change the dates
Regards,
Sajid

If I understand your goal, you may change the latest start date. You must be in the earliest person record to do this, but you can enter a new date in that field and save. It will change the accompanying assignment and salary records. However, if you do this any data on the records will have to exist as of the earlier start date. Work structures, for example, have to be dated early enough to accomodate this. If you are using Benefits and life events they will have to be reprocessed. There may be other things connected to the person record and hire date that have to be considered before doing this.

Workflow Tasks spontaenously changed their start date without user input.

The issue I have is that a task list with a workflow attached to it spontaneously added major versions to over 200 items that changed the 'start' and 'end' dates. The user's name who was tagged as the one doing the update was not using sharepoint or even
at his computer for the time that this occurred.
Not all of the tasks in this list were affected and I can't find a pattern as to why -
I have seen this happen before at a different agency/installation where a user's name appeared suddenly on fresh updates a year and a half after he retired and was removed from the system.
Any ideas as to what might have happened?
Any suggestions on how to revert over 200+ task items to their previous version programmatically without having to edit each individual one?

Hi,
As I understand, you want to know why the task will change the start date spontaneously and how to revert your 200+ task list items version.
How do you remove the user from the SharePoint 2013? And what permissions did the users have before you removed them?
Check if there is a rule that will change the start date spontaneously in the workflow attached with your task list, or if there is customer code or solution that will change the start date spontaneously.
If you want to revert the version of your task list items, you can achieve it by PowerShell script.
The article below is about how to restore versions by PowerShell script.

After Changing the start date for a task in a project we are not able to save

Hi
When we are updating the task start date of a particular task the below message is poping up in Project Professional and when we trying to update in Pwa and saving it automatically the save is becoming undone.
We are logging in with that user credentials and checking where the user has not charged any actuals on that task.
Then a message pops up saying:
"The actual work in "xxxx" is out of sync with the actual work updated from timesheets. Actual work can only be updated by team members through PWA. Changes you have made to users' actual work will be lost during the save."
Can any body throw some light on the above issue.
Thanks
Geeth If you feel that the answer which i gave you is Helpful please select it as Answer/helpful.

It seems you have enabled the option in server setting >> task Settings and Display >> Protect User Updates>> for restricting updates to PWA only ? this is one cause when this error message appears when the update restriction is to PWA
and PM tries to modify the Plan, the only exception to this is milestones which can be updated via Proj pro,
this being the case becomes a conflict when you say updates can be done only via PWA and try to overwrite the actual via MSP

How to track changes in Start date

Hello Everyone,
Currently I am facing a new issue (requirement from management) that they want to track the activity start date change and generate a trend report on that so we cna display it to client that this many activities changed this times.
To give you the overview, currently we are working on Asset Renewal project where there is no fix scope it comes as per priority. And unfortunately priorities get changed as well.
So as an example originally we may have planned a particular activity on 04/08/14 acording to priority and then we get the new date and plan it again for 20/07/14 then we get our possession request knocked back and replan it to 20/08/14 then we encounter a problem from supplier and we replan it to 25/08/14. So this is just a scenario I have given but it changes say atleast 10 time before it gets executed.
So I know traditional way in primavera to capture the change is maintain baselines but that would not be applicable in my case as I have hundreds of sites in 1 program and they change as i explained above so is there any way I can track that changes in primavera or any other way available. i am really open for all suggestion including new softwares or exporting to Microsoft Excel.
I have tried my best to explain this situation but if you require any further info please let me know.
Thanks in advance
Nirav

Pl take a look at the Std Report RPUAUD00 used for Infotype Logging. The Report Documnentation details the steps needed to turn the logging for the PA infotypes, which in your case could be 0167,0168,0169 etc..
