Variance - BL1 Finish Date

Hello to all...
Kindly need the help of who
ever experienced that the definition of "Variance - BL1
Finish Date" values are contrary to my experience. I mean
to say that my current finished date is later than the
Baseline Finished Date but i got a (+) possitive value and
vice versa.

Hello,
The correct calculation
should be BL Finish - Finish for Baseline Variance
Finish Date.
This is a know
issue P6.0 has been corrected in Project Management P6
version 6.1. Please contact
http://www.primavera.com/upgrades for the latest
upgrade.
Thanks,<br

FINISH DATE VARIANCE AS OF DATA DATE

Hello to Everybody,
I would like present a tabular report with a column for "Finish Date Variance as of Data Date"....
I would appreciate much for your immediate reply.
Thanks and Regards,
Raymond

I tried using a UDF but had to use the Global Change at Every Update. The Equation i used is UDF = DD - Planned Finished Date, but I got a results other than the expected, i mean wrong difference.
Please Help.

Scheduling as per given project finish date

I need to know if it is possible to arrange the project structure to do below described scheduling.
Urgent reply will be highly appricated..
thanks,
he.
I would like to give the "project finish date " ;
I would like p6v7 would schedule such that ;
- project finish date would be the date that I gave,
- all activity dates would be defined accordingly even if they should have been start and/or finish before project start date.
I should say that there is not any resource / cost assignment. Just activities/ original durations/ and relationships have been entered.

user9166529,
By you saying "project finish date" I have to assume that you have some sort of mandatory completion date such as a contract deadline.
Or do you mean that you want to add a date constraint to the project finish date such as "must finish on or before" your date of completion?
If needed, you could even apply a "mandatory finish" date constraint (not highly recommended).
On the other hand, by building your initial schedule you will be able to determine your planned finish date by tracing your longest path. If this completion date does not meet your needs you then would need to adjust your scheduled activities (durations) to fit within your planned finish date.
After settling on your initial schedule, save it as a baseline (copy) in order to perform periodic comparisons between your original (baseline) and the current (real time) schedules. The result of performing these comparisons will produce your schedule variance data.
Hope this helps,

Trying to update Project scheduled finish date - newbie help needed!

Guys, I am super new to Oracle Projects, I have never used it before. I've just learned a few things in the UI and read through the docs documenting the stored procs. My question is simple (hopefully) In the UI I choose a responsibility, then under "Projects : Delivery" I choose "Search Projects", I enter the Project ID in the field and click Go, I am able to see all the project details and the Tasks. No problem there! What I would like to do through the Update_Project API is to change the "Scheduled Finish Date" of the Project.
I have the following information that I have managed to scrape up:
Project_id, Responsibility_id, User_id, Resp_Appl_Id
I retrieved the project id using:
         Select project_id,name from pa_projects_all
          where name = 'My Project';
So first I call set_global_info with the appropriate parameters, then this:
    -- SET GLOBAL VALUES
     pa_interface_utils_pub.set_global_info(
     p_api_version_number => 1.0,
     p_responsibility_id => fnd_profile.value('57203'),
     p_user_id => fnd_profile.value('1013415'),
     p_msg_count => l_msg_count,
     p_msg_data => l_msg_data,
     p_return_status => l_return_status);
     l_project_in.pa_project_id := 4608;
     l_project_in.scheduled_finish_date := to_date('2008-02-27', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
--UPDATE_PROJECT
          pa_project_pub.UPDATE_project(
                    l_api_version_number,
                    p_commit => l_commit,
                    p_init_msg_list => l_init_msg_list,
                    p_msg_count => l_msg_count,
                    p_msg_data => l_msg_data,
                    p_return_status => l_return_status,
                    p_workflow_started => l_workflow_started,
                    p_pm_product_code => null,
                    p_project_in => l_project_in,
                    p_project_out => l_project_out,
                    p_key_members => l_key_members,
                    p_class_categories => l_class_categories,
                    p_tasks_in => l_tasks_in,
                    p_tasks_out => l_tasks_out);
What I am getting is the message "error :Project ID is invalid" and the status is "E"
I'm not sure why it is invalid as it is the exact Project ID from the projects table. The only thing I can think of is that the p_pm_product_code is set to null but I am not sure where this value comes from and why it even matters. I checked the documents and it says it refers to some external system. Why does the external system code matter if I am changing data within Oracle Projects?

Hello,
Looks like you are not setting the Initialization values correctly. Oracle Project APIs are Org specific and require proper initialization before being called for them to work.
Few things i noticed from the code is :
1. The following is being used to set the User ID and Responsibility ID :
     p_responsibility_id => fnd_profile.value('57203'),
     p_user_id => fnd_profile.value('1013415'),
I think the call should be like this. This should be used only if you are going to call the API through a concurrent program from the submit request window (Oracle Apps environment). fnd_profile.value will get the responsibility id and the used id of the user running the program and assign it to the variables.
     p_responsibility_id => fnd_profile.value('RESP_ID'),
     p_user_id => fnd_profile.value('USER_ID'),
Or If you are directly passing the IDs hardcoded then, This can be used if you are running the script from a Non-Oracle Applications environment, for example from SQL*Plus.
     p_responsibility_id => 57203
     p_user_id => 1013415
2. I notice that you are not passing P_OPERATING_UNIT_ID parameter in the call to pa_interface_utils_pub.set_global_info. This is fine if you are not using MOAC and you have set MO: Operating Unit profile for the responsibility being passed. If you are using MOAC or are not sure, then it is always a good practice to explicitly pass the P_OPERATING_UNIT_ID parameter in the call to pa_interface_utils_pub.set_global_info.
Note : DO NOT use fnd_profile.value('ORG_ID') to set the P_OPERATING_UNIT_ID parameter. In a MOAC environment this may not work.
3. Always ensure you check the return status of the pa_interface_utils_pub.set_global_info for success before calling the Project APIs. This will save you a lot of frustration when testing.
4. You might find the following note useful
Project API Overview and Reference (Doc ID 1424156.1)

Planned order creation with PDS valid on only order start date and not finish date

Hi All,
We have requirement to allow creation of planned order manually if production version is valid on order start date and not finish date. This is because lead time of order is longer. I refered OSS notes 385602. I could find out solution for this is implementation of OSS note 694140 to change validity mode at activity level to consider start date of first produce activity in validity interval. Problem is even If I create order in APO by implementiong this note planned order is not transfered to ECC and it gets stuck with error production version not valid.
Is there any way in ECC to control this? Any config or customization?
Regards,
Santosh

Nilesh,
I think there is a simple procedural skip happening in your business process. You are right when a planned order is created after MRP it would default assign it to the first available production version. 2options available for us,
1. First use transaction MF50 and do the line loading and assign the quantites to the production versions/Production lines, so that the actual capacity planning is getting completed. This way you can have planned orders with both the production versions and matching to your actual line capacity.
2. Use Quota arrangement concept, to automatically split the Planned orders during MRP for a percentage based on individual production versions.
Now when backflush is performed S225 table is updated and Planned order qty also gets reduced.
Hope this helps....

Process Order Basic Finish Date and Scheduled Finish Date

Folks,
I have a requirement from the business to be able to update the Process Order Basic Finish Date and Scheduled Finish Date independently from each other.
In other words, update the Basic Finish Date and the Scheduled Finish Date cannot change or update the Scheduled Finish Date and the Basic Finish Date cannot change.
I believe the reason for this is to be able to use the Basic Date to maintain the ATP accurately and keep the Scheduled Date to mark when the order was originally due from the shop floor to be able to measure if orders are being completed on time or late.
I have worked in tnx OPUZ and had some success with other issues with these dates but I can't seem to make them work independently from each other.
Or does anyone have any ideas how to measure proces order performance to the production schedule?
Thank you for your help,
Greg

Rajesha, thank you for your reply but it doesn't solve my problem.
Let me restate my scenario:
I start a process order and both the basic and scheduled finish dates are the same, June 1.
At some point, shop floor tells me they will be late and cannot deliver until June 15.
I need to update a date in the system so the ATP and the MRP planning runs have correct information for promising customers, I will update the Basic Finish date with June 15.
I also need to keep the original June 1 date in order to measure the shop floor performance to the production schedule to measure how early or late the order was delivered. How can I keep the original finish date or how can I measure if a process order is early or late??
Thank you for your help,
Greg

Finish date deleted automatically

If I delete a resource from a taks that is marked as finish, Project automatically (sometimes) marks the task as unfinished.
Is there any way to keep Project from trying to be too clever? In most cases there was minimal or no work needed, or done by someone else.. this does not matter as the task is finished and I'm only using Project for planning.
Valgardur Gudjonsson

Hi Valgardur,
I've never heard of such a bug. Nevertheless MS Project has a powerful scheduling engine that requires to follow scheduling best practices. Such as not deleting a resource assigned on a task with actual work which results in loosing the actual.
That being said, many parameters could create such an unexpected behavior such as the task type (fixed work or duration), constraints on the start date, deleting actual start and finish dates, other resources assined on the same task, new task
creation date parameter (project start or current date), ...
If you're willing to dig into this issue, please send me your file at guillaumeDOTrouyreATgcosiDOTcom (replace caps) with some more details and I'll be pleased to investigate.
Hope this helps,

How to get the finished date of production order

hi guys
now i want to get the finished date of production date. when i search in the table afko , i found the field GLTRI is '0000.00.00'.
BUT IN the production order display view , the confirm date is '2007.1.1'. so how can i get the confirm date with the production order number? thanks.

For costing report, you have to read the following tables: based on material Qty/value/ Machine rate and machine posting date , machine rate ( T-code kp26) and also types of material Raw, finished and semi finished ..
AFRU ,AFPO,AFKO,AFVV,AFVC,CAUFV FOR PRODUCTION ORDER.
For material calculation MARA, MSEG and MKPF as well as MAKT...
Hope thisll help you .

Get earliest finish date for a task of cProject

i found this method CL_DPR_TASK GET_SCHEDULE_ATTRIBUTES to retrieve earliest finish date.
but i don't know how to assign the parameter IR_SCHEDULE_OBJECT to this method.
could you help me with this?
if i don't use this class, is there any other way to fetch the earliest finish date for a task of project?

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.

Need to count the number of times the Basic Finish data chages

HI Expertes,
I have a requirement I need to count number of times the Basic finish date chaged for PM work order. I went throug our forums I got some info like using a standard function module
CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HDRS_ONLY
CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS
CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS
But all the above function module will not be suitable for my requirement since CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HDRS_ONLY it gives whole changes but my requirement is just need number of changes occurred in Basic Finish date but CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS can give the filed number which has been changed but still I need change id.
So kindly suggest me wether there is any other Standard FM to get number of changes occurred in Basic Finish date?
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Debbie,
     To count the number of groups please try the folling steps:
1) Create a formula @reset and place this formula in the page header
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i:=0;
2) Create another formula @evalgroup place this in the group header where you want to count the values.
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i:= i+1;
3) Create another formula @display and place this in report footer.
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i;
In order to display the count of details which are printing in the detail section place the eval formula in the detail section and the @display formula in the group footer.
Hope this helps!!!

Basic Start and Finish Date coming as default while Order Creation (IW31)

Hi Members,
I am in situation where in i am trying to cretae an order from IW31 but after the order creation basic start and basic finish date is being updated as default date which is the current date of creation.
I have written my code in Include LCOINFNJ where basic start and basic finish date should get populated as per my written code .After debugging i found that the code is populating the dates in structure CAUFVD-GSTRP(basic start date) and
CAUFVD-GLTRP(basic end date) but whill posting at user command SAVE the fields are getting updated back to default dates.
Even after adding an enhancement point at the end of below given FM where in i am hardcoding the values still the issue remains the same .
Function Module : CO_ZV_ORDER_POST is the FM responsible for posting.
Please help regarding this issue .
Thanks and Regards.

Hi ,
If you do not want start and finish date as current date then u can do it via config
spro ->pm -->maintenance order processing -->Maintenance and service orders -->general data -->Activate default date for current date as basic date here for a particular plant remove the tick mark in default current date , thus when u create MO on that plant then u will not get any default dates in basic start date and finish date ...

Scheduled start and Finish date .

Hi Everyone,
I am facing a problem in dates in creating a process order in Production .
In the tcode COR1, when input the BASIC START DATE manually, the BASIC FINISH DATE ,scheduled start date and finished dates should get calculated automatically as per standard SAP.
The problem that I am facing is that , if I input the BASIC START DATE in future , the scheduled start date and finished dates are always coming as the system date.
whatever date I input in the BASIC START DATE the scheduled start date and finished dates are always coming as the system date.
But this is not happening in quality and development server .
Please help me if you have any solution
Thanks
Bijay

Dear ,
1.Scheduling parameter for new process order type and plant combination, to be defined at OPUZ . U can copy the settings at standard order type PI01.Here you should keep Backward Scheduling as Scheduling Type and Keep the adjustment Scheduling as Adjust to Basic Date , depenent requirement Date .
Now Order Basic finish date = Order Basic start date + float before prod + Lead Time of Operations (operation time from routing )+ float after prod.
These floats are predefined in SMK and assinged to material master .It comes through Planned Order after MRP run andcoped to Production Order .
.2.Check and Define Scheduling Margine key in MRP -Carry All over all palnt paremtres (OPPQ)
If you are MTS process , then Keep the Scheudling Type as Forward .Enter the Basic Start date and Scheduling Margine Days ( Opening periods , FBP, FAP) and then hit the Scheduling Indicator .It will calcuate all the dates based on the SMK and operation setup and propose you Basic Finish Date .
So adjust the Flaots in SMK tab in process order , enter Basic Finish Date , Choose Bacward Scheduling to arraive Basic Start or Go in reverse direction by choosing Forward scheduling .
Hope its clear

Scheduled finish date for process orders not updating in BW

We are having problems with the scheduled finish date (GLTRS) for process orders. When the process order is already released, changes done in R/3 on the scheduled finish date will not result to a delta hence data in BW is not updated. Table AFKO, where data is coming from, is always updated with the changes though. 2LIS_04_P_MATNR is used in extracting the data.
Has anyone experienced the same problem? We are looking for possible ways on how to have a delta whenever there are changes on the process order even after it is already released.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hi Donna,
If I've understood your problem correctly, you can increase the load frequency as Sriee has pointed out.
If you want latest data frequently and if you are on BI 7.0 then you can look at Real Time Data Acquisition(RDA)
