Validation on Project Definition

Hi,
We configured a validation in Tcode OPSI where:
Prerequisite is -> PROJ-PSPID :1-4: = 'XXXX'
Check is -> PROJ-VBUKR = '####'
However, when we tried to create a project definition with special characters, system allowed us to save the project. Please note that the prerequisite is alpha and the check is numeric. How can we limit that the first 4 characters in PROJ-PSPID are alpha only and no special or numeric characters?
Thank you.

Hi,
I suggest you to check first your Project Coding Mask. And change according to your requirement.
OPSK - Maintain Special Characters Project Systems
OPSJ -Project Number Editing
System will not allow to create Project definition beyond its coding mask.

Validation in Project Definition No Range

Dear Expert,
I am creating a validation of project definition number range specific for a project profile but not get sucess.
Scenario is like this..i have a project profile Z000001 for which there is a number range of project code 1000 to 1999
i had created a validation as :-
Prerequisite :- PROJ-PROFL = 'Z000001'
Check :- ( ( PROJ-PSPID :4-7: >= '1813' ) AND ( PROJ-PSPID :4-7: < '2000' ) )
Project Code logic is XX/XXXX , ex PL/1814
But While creating Project Code system is giving the error massage in both right n wrong condition

Hi,
PSPID & POSID both dont consider special characters.
PROJ - PSPID = "SN-001".
Here :1-6: means "SN001" for 1-5 & "0" for 6 as characters.
PRPS - POSID = "SN-001-CIV"
Here :1-6: means "SN001" for 1-5 & "C" for 6 as characters.
In Your case just try changing your check statement to.
Check :- ( ( PROJ-PSPID :3-6: >= '1813' ) AND ( PROJ-PSPID :3-6: < '1999' ) )
and update the test result.

Validation in project definition

Hi,
We have a requirement where in we need a validation on the project definition while creating a project in the project builder (CJ20n).
The validation is that, if the project definition starts with the letter 'V', there should be an error message thrown and the project is not saved.
Can any one please let me know how is this done??????
Cheers,
Raghav.

Hi;
for the validation on project defination, you should create project coding masks for you projects.
As soon as the user creates a new project not on the criteria defined by you on coding mask it will generate error message and project will not be created/saved.
There is the way how u do it.
Go --> SPRO --> Project Systems --> Structures --> Operative Structure -->
Work Breakdown Structure --> Project Coding Mask.
Now here first of all u need to define special characters for Coding mask if u have any requirement.
Then on second step you will define Project Coding mask.
If you need any further assistance plz dont feel hesitant to ask ..
If u find it Valuable, plz close the issue and reward points.

Validation for Project definition

Hi Gurus,
We create project definitions with 12 char. Some time user misses out some characters hence I want to restric the same. I am trying to check the blank fields in the project definition using validation. I could succeed in stopping the user from proceeding in IDES through validation but when I applied the same logic in dev. client, it is checking but not stopping it from going ahead (I have given Error message only). The difference in the dev. client is that I have already created some validations for the PROJ-PSPID field. Is this disallowing the check or what should be the logic I should use to ensure all the 12 characters of the project definition fields are filled.
thanks in advance
Vinodh

Hi Vinodh,
Try this,
Pre-requisite:
PROJ-PSPID Not Equals Symbol ' '
Check:
PROJ-PSPID :1-12: Not Equals Symbol ' '
This should help.
Note: The place where i have written Not equals symbol, there you insert not equals symbol. Its not getting displayed here.
Also, input validation name in OPSA in Project defn. field and Tick on Automatic Validation

Hi,
Have you tried to save the project? Because validation rule will call at time of saving the Project.
I have created the same but for start with 'U'
When I create project and at time of saving, validation rule will call and system throw error if I don't create project start with 'U'.
Now If I am creating here, start with 'J'. System is throwing error as per validation rule.
Also Pl check if you have assigned same correct rule on project profile.

More than one validation in Project Profile

Dear all,
I have created a validation rule to validate the company code used between the Project Definition and WBS Element, and it must be the same. This validation is working
I assigned it in OPSA for the Project Profile that I am working on. The validation was carried out successfully too.
However, in the configuration in OPSA, there is only one field for assignment of validation rule created for one project profile.
Now I have more than one validation required for the same Project Profile. I need to carry out few validations. Is there any other way (in configuration) that I can do to achieve this?
Pls help.
Thanks.
Best rgds.

Thank you, Ahmed.
Already thought of that just at the point when you replied.
Anyhow, full points for you too.

Editing Project Definition

Hi experts,
My client needs project definition field should only be displayed(Not editable) once project status becomes'Released'.
How would I do this?
Regards,
Laxminarsimha

Hi,
If the requirement is not to allow change in proj def once the project definition is released then try following
1) It can achieved through small development.
2) Use BAdi BUS2001--- with the help of ABAPer write an implementation.
3) Use BAPI_BUS2001_GET_STATUS and pass Project definition as input. Output will be system status. If it is released ( in background it will be stored as I0002) than check value of PROJ : PSPID same as input else throw an error " Change in proj def name not allowed after release".
4) Also exits available in validations--- can explore same. However logic for the code can be as xplained above.
I donn think it can be possible by just customizing. I verifed in Field selection criteria for Project definition....system status is not in infulencing criteria.
Post ur observations after u try as advised.
Thanks

Hi,
For project defination internal number is assigned by system.
When you saves's project then system allocate one number to project defination, you can view it,
SE11 >>> table PROJ >> Click on contents >>> execute,
here you will get your project defination & number is assigned to project defination.

How to block reusage of archived Project definition and WBS element numbers

Dear All,
We have archived our projects using the TC SARA and the Project definition and WBS elements numbers no more exist in tables PROJ and PRPS etc.. When I now try to create a new project, the system proposes the next open number or allows to enter a number which is the same as one of the archived projects. But in our organization we cannot reuse the Project definition and WBS element numbers (even if it is archived) as a rule.
Can anybody guide me what are the possibilities to block or avoid the reusage of the numbers of archived project definition and WBS elements in a fool-proof way?
Thanks and regards

One Workaround:
Use T code OPSJ and lock the project coding mask. Doing this you can not use this mask any more.
But you want to continue using the mask but with different numbers. Not sure how this can be acheived. lets wait for others view

Short Dump while using BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT to set Project Definition Status

Hi All,
I am getting a short dump while using BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT for setting the Project Definition status..
The requirement is to create a Project Definition and then set its status to REL from CRTD. For this purpose i am using the BAPI's in the following sequence :
1. BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION
2. BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN
3. BAPI_BUS2001_SET_STATUS
4. BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT
5. BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
The Proj Def creation is happening successfully in step2. Interestingly, when I debug the program and stop at PRECOMMIT BAPI the program does not give a dump. I have also tried to give COMMIT WORK / WAIT FOR n SECONDS after BAPI_BUS2001_SET_STATUS, to give BAPI sometime for DB update but nothing seems to be a permanent solution.
Please give your views on a solution for this problem..
Thanks & Regards,
Somil

Creation of project definition and wbs element

I want creation of project definition and wbs element upto 4 level using bapis.
i am using transaction cj27,cj01,cj02
which function module to use for this??

Hi,
to create project definition with customer fields the BAPI you should use is : BAPI_BUS2001_CREATE
to create WBS elements with different levels and specific fields the BAPI you should use is BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI
these bapi must be used in the sequence of call :
BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION
BAPI_BUS2001_CREATE / BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI
BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT
BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
before using the bapi, you must apply OSS note :
637345 - Syntax error with enhanced PS tables
i sent you the oss note to your mail
please reward points if helpfull.

Problem one solved ......
Basically we need to put the status of WBS elememnts and then write a BDC for additional data tab.

1 project definition with several wbs elements or several project definitin

Hello
I need projects as account assignment elements in CO (when entering vendor invoices for costs). Should I have 1 project definition with all projects /wbs elements underneath, or should I have 1 project definition uniquely defined for each project/wbs element? Some projects are not settled to assets und construction, some projects are settled to assets und construction.
kind regards
Arjan

Arjan
I don't think you can have Projects as account assignment objects. You can have WBS element as account assignment object.
One alternative I can suggest, if you want to see project costs at higher level instead of breaking down the project into many WBS elements. Create a project with one WBS element only and use that WBS element as account assignment object.
It is only possible to have a project with one or more WBS elements. I don't think you can define projects within projects.
letus put it this way assume WBS elements are projects within a project. But make sure all the WBS elements are related to one project
Hope you are clear now.
Thanks
Prasad
