cProjects : Mass updation of dates for phases and tasks

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Need to extend the project Phase and Tasks, resource assignment to 31-01-2015, for multiple projects which contain more phases and tasks.

Is there any standard program to change the end date of Phases, Task and resource assignments?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Venugopal,

For the mentioned object types (project, phases, tasks) there are corresponding BAPI methods, which you can use to modify the value. E.g. BAPI_BUS2172_CHANGE for the project.

What more straightforward is to do database update directly using a customer report, if you have some ABAP knowledge. The involved tables & fields you can find use report dpr_get_tree.

After all the changes of a project are done, trigger the BAPI_BUS2172_SCHEDULE for the project header.

Attention: donot mixed up the constraint dates (Can be changed)  with the scheduled dates (Must not changed, only determined during scheduling).

Kind regards,

Zhenbo

I'm not aware of any standard program that would allow changing phase, task, and resource assignments. You can try exporting the project(s) into MS Project or XLS format, making changes there, and uploading the data back. Or, depending on the volume of data to be changed, write a custom program.
