WFM in cProjects

I am using cProjects 4.0. I was able to staff the HR resources using integration directly under Resources tab.
Now I installed WFM core and I am able to see an additional tab on the top called "Resource Planning". When clicked on the I am able to see Resource Overview, Demand and Assignments tables but with no data in them.
My question is what is the purpose of WFM and functions can it provide, can any one send a documentation on the same.
Thanks

Hi!
1. Your main start point must be [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ppm400/helpdata/en/e8/00c73c52aacf5be10000000a114084/frameset.htm]

3. Also look [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/e6/0f2288993743198bf26a2191635525/frameset.htm]
4. [SAP Workforce Management|http://www.filefactory.com/file/733bdf/]
In order to see anything on Resource Overview, Demand and Assignments tables you must:
1. At first, for Business Partner maintain him/her availability and create for him/her Service Arrangement (use for this BSP Application COMM_SERV_PROVIDER or Portal). After that you may see him/her on Resource Overview table. Draw attention you must choose correct period for calculation of availability.
2. Demand Overview: create a project with a role, which in Role Type has parameter "staffed by" is set "Resource Manager via Authorization".
3. Only after correct 1 and 2 steps you can assign a person to project.

WFM in cProjects: tranfer recurrence type in rule maintenance for BP WFD?

Hi,
I created service arrangements for BP's in UI COMM_SERV_PROVIDER and afterwards i used report RPTWFMIF to tranfer the infotype 0007 'Planned working time' from HCM to WFD.
Everthing works okay as i can see the availability lines in UI COMM_SERV_PROVIDER; except for the fact that field 'Recurrence type' in all the lines (i got a line for every working day) is empty but it is also a required field.. In the pull-down menu for the field there are the options ' ' (blank), 'Weekly rule' and 'Monthly rule'
How can i fix this problem?
Thanx,
Joris

Hi!
I look on our field 'Recurrence type' and is empty too.... It amazing but full staffing process work correct (staffing through RPA+WFD, resource master data maintained in HR, cProjects 4.0 on CRM 5.0).
Did you use in your system only english (or what else) language?

CProjects - Issue related to WFM & Project role

Hello All,
Immediately after log-on I see two errors:
"Communication with the WFM Core system is not possible"
"Unable to establish connection to LiveCache"
Ignoring these message, if I go ahead creating project, system allows me to create the project. But when I hit on "Save" button, I get following error message:
"Saving is not possible because the WFM Core data could not be adjusted"
"Message was caused by reference object 'Berater'"
"Resources" Tab is greyed out. I can delete/ edit the project role here.
I checked the configuration for "Collaboration Projects -> Resource Management -> Workforce Deployment -> Workforce Deployment Server -> Dispatcher Settings -> Switch between livecache and Built-In Dispatcher ". LIVECACHE DISPATCHER is selected & this screen is greyed out. I can not change it to BUILTIN DISPLATCHER
I have searched the forum & I didn't find suitable solutions these issues.
Looking forward to suggestions from you all.
We are on cProject Suite 4.0

Business Partner Role 'Employee' - not in WFM Core

Hi,
Having created a Business Partner (under role Employee), when I try staffing this resource to a task at the front end (I am using cProjects 4.0), I am not able to. Instead, I get the message "Person XYZ is not known in WFM core."
What's to be done? Transaction "PRP_WFM_ADMIN" leaves a message "Transaction PRP_WFM_ADMIN is obsolete." Please share the tcode I should be using and/or any other issue I should take care of to see through this.
Thanks all...

Do you create in the BP as general and then as employee?
I created the BP under Employee role. The resources are also available to be staffed at the front end. However, when I try staffing, I get a message that the 'person xyz is not known in WFM Core'.
Transaction PRP_WFM_ADMIN is supposed to tranfer BPs from PRP to WFM. But this transaction is reported to be obsolete. And therefore, I am not too sure of the next move.

Resource Search in cProjects 4.0 not fetching results

Hi All,
Working on cProjects 4.0, I have specified the qualifications catalog and selected a few items from the catalog for a role. These are the items I have set for the resource (Business Partner). However, when I do a 'Resource Search' at the front end, the system does not throw the list of resource I expect the system to do.
Where could I be going wrong?
Thanks all...

Hi Zhenbo,
Thanks for your response. This, however, does not help.
As mentioned, I have defined the qualification catalog and selected the qualifications for the role. The resouce (BP) does have the required qualifications. However, the 'Resource Search' fetches no results.
Do I have to have the resources defined in WFM to be able to fetch? I guess no...
Do suggest.
Thanks and Regards...

CProjects 4.0 - Resource Appointment / Calendar

How do I get the calendar for resources ('Appointment' tab under 'Resources' tab)?
This calendar enables me view the calendar of the selected resource (staffed to a project role). What all add on (if any) do I have to incorporated to get going on this?
I am working on cProjects 4.0.

Hi Bittu,
this functionality is included when your are using the Work Force Management (WFM) as far as I know.
Please have a look at the cProjects configuration guide in the section "Configuration of Groupware Integration".
For getting the latest Config Guide please refer to Message "978997".
Hope this helps you.

CProjects 4.0 - Resource Availability

How does the Resource Availability feature work in cProjects 4.0? Can the resource maintain his calendar in cProjects?
Staffing of a resource happens when the resource has the qualification for the role? How does the system take care of 'Availability?'

Hi Bittu,
Some information to enhance Thorsten's answer about availability, it is not very straightforward.
First of all, does WFD server (other name WFM core) is used? If Yes, then the availability is controlled by the WFD server (External).
If No, then the program using the cProject internal logic frequences to determine the availability:
1. The BP has the availability maintained. for example BP 'Mr. Hugo Boss' works 8 hours each day.
2. The BP has a location, and the availability has maintaned for the location.
for example: 'Mr. Hugo Boss' has location 'Germany' and location 'Germany' works 7,5 hours.
3. The BP has not the locaion . But the role has maintained a location.
For example: Role 'Software development' should be done in location 'U.S' and location has 9 Hours each day.
4. If none of above is maintained, then the program check the customizing of distribution. The standard SAP dilivery has 8 hours each day.
The note 958573 is the prerequisite, and explain the same logic.
Please rewards point, if it is useful.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

CProjects - RPA - staffing resource within 1 Org. Unit only

Hi Experts,
We're implementing cProjects with combination planning - staffing with cProjects and RPA (WFM).
In project role type's setting, I choose: 'Staffed by: Resource Manager via Responsible Organization' with expectation that the resp. Staffing Manager within the stated Organization only able to staff resource within the same Organization.
(Staffing Manager from Org. Unit 1001 only able to staff Resource within Organization Unit 1001).
But, apparently it does not work like that. The Staffing Manager can staff all resources from all Org. Unit - as long as the resources have Service Arrangement.
Any one can help me pointing where I go wrong with the customization?
thank you & regards
Bernadette

Hi,
When you search the resources, put the Org unit as the search criterion along with that of Qualification. This will yield only those resources who are from the specified Org unit.

Message MOPZ_CHECK107 with RPM and cProjects

Hi all,
I'm using SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 SPS26. I want to upgrade our ERP EHP3 system to EHP5. I'm running a MOPZ session and I get following errors:
Successor installed for SAP XRPM 4.0.
Successor installed for SAP CPROJECT SUITE 4.00
In fact SAP cProject Suite 4.50 is installed here.
I already saw a similar problem in this forum (Error in maintenance optimizer), but it doesn't help me. I tried to apply recommendations of SAP note 1495419, without success.
Our ERP EHP3 system is currently defined in SMSY like this:
- SAP ERP 6.0, with SAP ECC Server marked as relevant and SAP cProject Suite marked as also installed;
- EHP3 FOR SAP ERP 6.0, with Central Applications marked as relevant;
- SAP CPROJECT SUITE 4.50, with cProject Suite with WFM Core marked as relevant;
- SAP RPM 4.5, with RPM Core marked as relevant.
Logical component Z_ERP (ERP 6.0) is in our solution.
I also tried to use the Landscape Verification Tool (transaction LVSM), then ran a new MOPZ, but without success.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Kind regards,
Christophe

Hi,
for the error - Successor installed for SAP CPROJECT SUITE 4.00
try this solution:
- Remove first SAP RPM, SAP CProjects Suite 4.50 and SAP Portf and Proj Mang 5.0 from the system.
- Now, add only CProjects Suite 4.50 and while adding, say "NO" when this window with respect to Product Assignment appears. Save the system.
- Now, add SAP Portf and Proj Mang 5.0 and save the system.
Run a new MOPZ transaction and it should work.
Regards,
Mohan.

CProjects initial views configuration (PPM 5.0)

Hi,
I am new to PPM 5.0
In the earlier version, we used to configure the initial views of the cProject by configuring the "Define Initial Views for cProjects". I was not able to find that node in PPM 5.0 (IMG). I have a requirement to add approval tab for a phase.

Fields for creation of BP in cProjects front-end are read-only

Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner in SAP-Development/Customizing so I hope this question isn't too easy
I can't create a Business Partner using the cProjects front-end (Ressources > Staffing) because the necessary fields and buttons are read-only... (> web-Dynpro Component: DPR_ROL_STAFF; View-Info: VI_SEARCH_CREATE)
I'm using CPRXRPM 450_700 patch 0006
The field-control is standard-SAP (0SAP).
My user-account has all cProject-roles + SAP-ALL
I assume i can change the behaviour of these fields in the Field Control but I can't identify which is the corresponding Object Category to apply the changes.
- Is there a documentation which field belongs to which Object Category in Field Control?
- Or can somebody tell me a procedure to find it out on my own?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
generally it is recommended to use transaction BP or ALE distribution to get the business partner be created.
If you would like to create the BP in web UI directly, the user must have the Structural Authorization, see customizing path:
Collaboration Projects -> Resource Management -> Organizational Management.
It is very HR related topic, you may contact a HR consultant to know more details about it.
Kind regard,
Zhenbo
