Activity Confirmation - Gantt Chart - Planning board

Hi
suppose i have a activity duration from 1st february 2009 to 28th february 2009
on 15th february i confirm 0nly 10% of the work as completed in the activity confirmation screen in the degree of processing field and also enter the start date as 1st february 2009 and the finish date as 15th february 2009.
when we look at the planning board in CJ20n transaction subsequently (gantt chart) the activity bar shows a colouring from 1st february to 15th february instead of showing only 10% of the activity bar coloured for completion of the work
where is it possible to see the percentage completion of an activity graphically as 10% this data is available in table format in CN48N transactio

Hi,
we can view in table format by selecting the fileds related to percentage of completion in the project planning board (gantt chart).
The requirement you had explore is possible in MS projects, but in standard SAP we can't view in the graphically mode.

Follow up to MRSS planning board how to populate

Thanks for teh reply Varun. It was correct as I did not knwo that the create/save populate teh planning board data via the BADi.
However 3 of the 4 added fields TPLNR, ABCKZ, and ILARTa re being populated in the Order Change (IW32) transaction but the field called Remaining Work field OFMNW_2 is not. It is generally calculated when teh actual work in teh IW41 confirmation is changed to less than planned. I.E. if the planned work was 8 and the operator puts 4 in actual work, then the IW41 screen shows remeaining work field filled in with the difference (4).
How can I populate this field via the BADi implementation PUSH_TO_MRS method. I tried to link the user exit for confirmation save (Enhancement CONFPM05, user exit EXIT_SAPLCORF_005 INCLUDE ZXCOFU05) to then invoke the instance of the class method call in the user exit after saving the remaing work field in an EXPORT to MEMORY ID:

Hi Stephen...
I think you are going wrong...
From you post I understand that:
1) You have implemented the user exit EXIT_SAPLCORF_005.
Note: This is called when you enter the confirmation in IW41.
2) Your understanding here is right that you need to integrate this information into MRS and you can do it from the above user exit.
3) But you are wrong -- if you call the BADI here.
Note: BADI methods will not work if you call them arbitrarily anywhere !! They work only when called in a specified program flow.
The given BADI is called during the forward integration -- meaning when the order is saved. After the BADI is called MRS save is called and the data is saved in MRS.
Calling the BADI method alone has not effect.
I suggest that you read more information about BADIs and User Exits.
Regards
Varun.

Ability to display multiple texts within graphic planning board Gantt chart

6       AFVG    Order operation                       USR08    User field for date
I have found that the 2nd text field (USR08) must be added as the last step (#6). When I had it as #1, the planning board did not display the USR08 value.
Now both are displayed in the Gantt chart graphic. However, it is difficult to see this long string of data as the bars in the Gantt chart may not be long enough to display the data.
Therefore we would like to use the "hover over" text which is displayed in the status line at the bottom of the screen. We have tried using both the Info Text and the Quick Info options within the Bar Chart: Options Profile (OPG0). Only the first text (the material descirption) is dislayed within either the Quick Info or the Info Text.
Is it possible to have multiple object values appear in Quick Info or Info Text? Or is it possible to control which text is displayed in the Quick Info or Info Text?
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated, as this is a make-or-break issue for the business to use the planning board. Thank you!

I'm also looking for a standard customizing alternative to do the same thing.
Still, if you're interested, I've already done it successfully with user exit PLAT0001.
Hope this helps.
Best regards.

WBS in Planning Board

Dear All,
Need help in understanding how and when will the % duration of work which we get while confirming an acitivty will show up in higher WBS.
Eg.
       WBS level 1                                   % duration of work doesnt show up (no time bar visible)
                           WBS level 2               % duration of work - doesnt show up (only actual time bar visible)
                           Activity 1                    % duration of work 20- visible in plan board
                           Activity 2                    % duration of work 20- visible in plan board
Requirement at higher WBS it should show % duration of work as it shows in Microsoft project.
Please Help

Any function module to change the mode in Planning board

Hi guys,
Is there any function module to change the mode in Planning board?
I would like to call a custom screen to to chagne the mode since the strandard function cannot show enough info.
Thanks.

Thanks Bhanu for ur quick reply.
Is that enough to change the technical name in the table RSZCOMPDIR.
Let me give some more information, idea is to change the technical name of all the queries present in a system based on a new naming conventions.
Eg.
Change all the technical name of queries ZQSAP to ZQXYZ.
If there is function module which allows to change the technical name of the queries that not only updates the table RSZCOMPDIR but also all the interlinked tables.

Hi Hari,
Once you are into CJ2B, Please follow the following steps:
1. Click on the icon " Planning board Assistant"
2. Select the gantt Chart----Misc. in diagram Area
3. In the Selection of the "Text" of "Date Descript."--- Select "Dates one-line " ( This is applicable if your date is on the left or right side of the date bar)
4. Now you can change the Font colour, Font and Font Size, Bold or Italic.....
5. To Confirm the setting Click on "Update graphics" button on the screen.
6. Now, If you notice, the dates fonts will be as per your requirement.
If this does'nt work.. Try to explore in this area only..Probably try selecting other "Text" in the "date Descript."
Hope this helps.

Rescheduling the order in planning board

The error is "Activity is outside the planning period" and the detail Log contians 'reschedule activity 180501 0010 0015 S, which is outside the planning period'
(I found that the order valid to order is 04.10.2010 for this perticuler order if this is the reson then how this field is getting updated?)

Hi,
Check in the initial screen of the access to DS Planning board the planning start and planning end period defined.
You are doing a rescheduling activity which is out side the planning end period.
In the strategy profile you can define that in case of scheduling error termination can happen .
Thanks,

MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling) - Show operation status in Planning Board

Because the current MRS thread is some long and complicated I chose to move this question into a seperate thread:
Initial question:
Like many companies, it is not unusual at my customer for their Planners to create orders with multiple operations, particularly since many orders require different crafts to perform the work. When the Planning Board is launched and Planners lok at work scheduled for the past week they want to be able to see at a glance which operations have been completed and which operations, perhaps from the same order, have not and may need to be rescheduled. Their preference is to select "final confirmation" when using transaction IW41 and thereby set the operation system status to CNF when the work on an operation has been completed. They then want to somehow use this CNF operation status to drive something visual in the graphical Demand layout display and Resource layout display to enable the Planner to see at a glance that the operation has been completed. I've tried several approaches with configuration of abstract statuses and the user interface profile without success. My customer's interest in being able to see the completion status of an operation in the MRS Planning Board makes a lot of sense to me. I'm hoping someone can help me with a technique for modifying the Planning Board so that it displays the completion status of an operation in a visual way.
Response from Varun Verma:
Hi Mark,
The problem at your customers end is nothing new.
What you can do ( many other customers have done it in similar way ) is:
1) you integrate the status CNF into MRS.
Check the customizing: Basic Settings -> Assign ERP Objects -> Status
2) configure in MRS that for status CNF, the assignments and demands (only in item work list or Hotlist) is colored to GREEN (or any other color)
Check customizing: Set Up Scheduler Workplace -> Workplace Profiles -> Define User Interface Profiles
Thus the users will know visually, that the green colored assignments are already completed.
By the way, in your work list you can also filter the demands based on their status
Regards
Varun.
Followup question:
Varun,
Thanks for the response. I thought I had tried this but perhaps it's because in the UI profile I had not entered something in both the status groups for assignments and the status groups for demands. I have a bit more testing to do but it appears that the demand status now gets updated from the operation status of PCNF (linked to abstract status WORK_START) and CNF (linked to abstract status WORK_STOP). I also get a red bar (C4) for PCNF and a green bar (C1) for CNF. Do you have a better status group I should be using in place of C1 and C4? Status groups C1 and C4 give me a bar but it doesn't look like the demand bar with a outline and alphanumeric description of the demand, it's just a colored bar.
I know the work list can be filtered based on their MRS "planning" status, however, it doesn't appear to permit filtering by the status of the operation unless I add the operation status as an additional field in the worklist. Is there something I'm missing here? And even if it did, my customer wants to be able to see the CNF status indication in the Demand layout and schedule using the work centers so the worklist is not being shown like it is in the Resource layout.
Mark
Edited by: Mark Scott on Aug 10, 2009 3:35 PM

Hi Mark,
Well I assumed that you have confirmations integration active !! But I guess not because you say that the status is not integrated always.
What you need to do:
1) I assume you have SP05 or later.
2) Implement the user exit: CONFPM05. In the implementation of this exit you need to call FM: /MRSS/RSG_PM_ORDER_CONFIRM
3) Go to customizing: Basic Settings --> Assign ERP Objects --> Status
-- Here, define an abstract status (MRS Status) for confirmed and partially confirmed
-- map it to R3 status CNF and PCNF.
After this, whenever you enter confirmation for PM order from transaction IW41, the status will be integrated.
Now you can use the MRS statuses defined in step 3 to configure the colors.
Implementing the user exit CONFPM05 might require some technical input. But it is easy. Just a few double clicks and copy paste.
Contact an ABAP developer for the same.
This should solve your issue.
Regards
Varun

CM25 planning board

Dear experts,
I have been working on the CM25 graphic planning board. So far I have not been able to show if a production order is scheduled to be finished in time.
Do you know if it is possible to show this somehow?
I am thinking in two directions:
1) The planning and scheduling log gives a warning message if the "scheduled finish date" differs from the "basic finish date" (also when it is produced too early). Can I change the settings of the scheduling and planning log?
2) I know how to link different colors in the planning board depending on a user status. Is it possible to determine a status which compares the "scheduled finish date" and "basic finish date"?
Are there any other solutions?
Will definitely reward points!!!
Regards,
Tim

Dear Rachael,
One thing I learned is that CM25 is full of surprises. In the end I did manage to compare the "basic date" and "scheduled date" and assign different colors to them. Our customer requirements are converted via MRP which calculates the basic dates of our planned orders. As long as the basic dates are correct, the colors of the planning board will indicate if an order is still on time or not.
The problem is that if a planned order is firmed or if a production order is created the basic dates will no longer change even if the customer requirements change...
It turns out that we will be able to use this solution for our client, but I did not find a real solution to compare production with the customer requirements.
If you need more info, please come back.
Regards,
Tim

DEtailed scheduling planning board - scalling of objects in the charts

Hi,
I am wandering if there is a possibility of changing the scale in the graphical planning board in APO PPDS, eg. in the resource chart. in the way that I could change the scale just for a certain period of time or one object.
for example:
the planning period choosen is 10.09.14 to 01.10.14., scale unit is hour, but the duration of some orders or operations is less than a minute. Woud it be possible to somehow change the scale just for 1 day or 1 hour within the shown period? zooming in does not help as then I cannot see the other lines that I need to look at when scheduling that specific order or operation.
thank's for any helpful hint!
br,
Wojtek

Hi Mike,
thank you for responding to my query.
I know the functionality with the right-click. this unfortunately does not help as the whole time frame is stretched-out => they cannot seen some objects, while the planners would like to strech-out only part of the shown period.
I also checked the possibility of changing the scale down to seconds cause some operations have a duration of less than a minute (timescale editor = double left-click on the scale). But the production is still unhappy. They have seen in some software such a possibility and wish the same in the graphical planning board. they want to see just part of the time frame in another scale so that the objects outside the scale remain in the same time unit but the objects within the considered time frame would be displayed in another time unit.
In the resource chart if you right-click an operation you can select the option shrink/stretch operation => I am not sure if there is sth wrong with my connection but most of the time when I click this option nothing happens. Just a couple of times while clicking on the same operation I manged to get a pop up "change operation duration" where you can define in % the new duration. but have to choose a new duration between "min and max duration" that are in this pop up zero => so I cannot change anything and have no clue where this zeros for min and max come from and in the end if that might solve my problem.

MRS: PRT Tool Resource does not appear in Planning Board

Hi Experts,
I am trying to perform tool assignment but somehow the tool resource does not appear in the planning board. I have the following set up:
- Tool created as both material and Equipment (category P)
- Equipment assigned to work center linked to Org Unit
- Order with operations created with PRT assigned
What I am seeing in the planning board:
- I can see the operation with the linked PRT
- I can see the HR resource under the same work center Org Unit
- However, I cannot see the Tool resource.
Am I missing somethng here? Any kind of pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Jk

Thank you for your response, Varun.
I do have the equipment work center set to be the same as the operation work center. Also, when I try to add the PRT manually in the planning board, I get 2 error messages:
"Resource is not available"
"Selected equipment 0 is invalid"
Have you encountered this before?
Thank and Regards,
jk

MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling) - Manager Planning Board

My understanding of the MRS Manager Planning Board is that it will only display those orders that have operations that have been assigned to a resource. If true, this would mean that the Manager Planning Board would be of little value to an organzation that is only using MRS to schedule to a work center because there would be no demand that had been assigned to a resource. It would only start to be of some value once the organization began to assign demands to resources. Is this correct? Or, do you see other value in the Manager Planning Board for an organization that is only scheduling to a work center?
I've also found that when I run the Manager Planning Board that the resources are displayed, however, I have to hit "refresh" in the Planning Board to get the orders/operations (demand) to display.
Mark
Edited by: Mark Scott on Aug 18, 2009 1:15 PM

Hi Mark,
As you already figured out correctly that the Manager planning board displays the resources (in display mode). It displays all the information about the resource: Its availability and assignments. since assignments are displayed, obviously the (related) demands are also displayed.
If the fine grained planning ( planning at resource level ) does not happen, then obviously it does not make sense to use the manager planning board transaction.
PS: As the name suggests this transaction is for managers who are not authorized to change anything but only for display. So they will see the resource availability and assignments in this transaction.

Varun
