Problems with WBS elements Short Text, Translations

[alois_kronbauer]

Hi,

when i create a new project, the shorttext in wbs element  level 1 should have the same Short description as the project definition.

The  WBS elements have traslations in DE and EN. Both should be in DE (german).

Problem is, that using substituition updates only the text in DE.

Is it possible to update the wbs translations in DE an EN using badi IF_EX_WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE~BEFORE_UPDATE

and function in group CN_LDST?

Who can help?

Greetings Alois

Hi Alois,

I'm not sure that PS supports multi languages on short texts of project definitions/WBS elements. I heard about a business function in an enhancement package to solve this. Standard ECC6.0 without any EHPs cannot run with multi-languages in WBS elements and PS/PM/PP/QM orders ... unfortunately.

Texts are stored in table PROJ (project defiitions) and PRPS (wbs elements). A new business function my add a new langage driven text table.

The fields are:

PROJ-POST1 = short text of project definition

PROJ-TXTSP = language key (= language of the element creator)

PRPS-POST1 = short text of WBS elements

PRPS-TXTSP = language key (= language of the element creator)

If you have this new business function I think you can use BAPI_PROJECTDEF_GETDETAILto read definitions and BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN to manipulate and to write WBS elements. This BAPI should support mulit languages, if it is possible in generell. IF_EX_WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE~BEFORE_UPDATE or ~AT_SAVE is a usable BAdI for this, I think. Can you pls give me an answer, if you system (EHP ?) supports mulit languages ? Thank you ...

Pls rate if this was helpful ...

P.S. Hapyy new year !

Hi Markus,

thanks for the answer.

The multi-languages in WBS elements comes with EHP 3.

The customer uses ECC 6.0 with EHP 6.

The problem was that the wbs-shorttext in all languages should be the same as project definition shorttext.

I have solved the problem using the badi IF_EX_WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE~BEFORE_UPDATE.

In the badi I have updated the wbs-shorttext in all languages with any functions begins with 'CN_LDST.... from the paket CN_LDST. 

It was not easy but it works.

Hell Markus,

So we could communicate in our native language.

So if you have questions, send me your contact information and i contact you.
