Actual dates are written when you Confirm a Task. There is an app for Confirming Tasks. To get accurate scheduling you need to confirm a task when it is started and in process. Confirm the Start Date and enter a POC or remaining work.

Please give me more details on your question.

Do you know the actual dates and want to get them into the system?

Or are you looking for them in the system? If so, what processes are being followed? Are they confirming tasks?

Question is regarding how the actual dates gets updated for project and phase not for the task. I.e when I complete a specific phase will my phase actual dates get updated on the date of completion ?

Actual dates are only entered on the tasks via confirmation. These actual dates can be used to calculate the scheduled which will roll up to the Phases.

Hello.

The /S4PPM/TASK table may help you.

With a GUID or EXTERNAL_ID to identify the object, you can filter by object type (OBJECT_TYPE), e.g. PPO=Phase, DPO=Project,...).

You can also filter by status for each GUID/EXTERNAL_ID, e.g. if the object is completed (Completed=40).

With this information you can reach the ACTUALSTART and ACTUALFINISH of each object, corresponding to the dates.

I hope it helps you.
