DFM setting from Decision Point to WBS for Status

[former_member613562]

Hi

I want to synchronize the Status for the following Scenario

1) Item - PS Project Definition

a) PS Project is created automatically created with the Lock Status and I want to Unlock the Project Definition based on the change of certain status in Item to the Project definition in PS

b) If the Item Status is Hold then the linked Project Definition Status should be Locked

2) Decision Pont - WBS

a) The linked WBS to Decision Point needs to be Released ("REL" Status) when there is a certain change in Status in the Decision Point

b) If the Decision Point Status is Hold then the linked WBS Status should be Locked

3) WBS - Decision Point

a) Change in Status of WBS for eg. TECO/CLSD there should be a certain change in Status in the linked Decision Point

4) Decision Point - Item or Item - Decision Point

a) Change in Status of Item should trigger the change in Status in Decision Point and similarly change in certain status in Decision Point will trigger the change in status in Item

In the setting SAP Portfolio and Project Management > Common Functions > Decision Flow Management Settings > Attribute Synchronization > Maintain Field Mappings you cannot map the Decision Point Status to WBS Status

Thanks and Regards

Hi Simon,

Before actual synchronization of objects, you must have completed the following activities in Customizing:

•Portfolio-Independent Settings -> Map Item Template to Project Template OR

•Portfolio-Independent Settings -> Map Item Type to Project Type or Project Templates

Also, hope you have checked/performed the following customizations.

Define DFM Object Link Types,

Maintain Objects for Synchronization,

Maintain Objects for Synchronization,

Maintain DFM Business Transactions: DFM1 – Release, AM05 – Lock, AM06 – Unlock,

Map Business Transactions for Synchronization,

Coming to exact your queries:

Query 1 and 2: Define the relevant mapping in customization "Map DFM Business Transaction to Project / Initiative Business Transaction".

Query 3: Define the relevant mapping in customization "Map Project / Initiative Business Transaction to DFM Business Transaction".

Query 4: Define the relevant mapping in customization "Map Portfolio Management Status to DFM Business Transaction".

In case, those do not solve your purpose; go for BADI "INM_OF_SYNC".

Regards,

Sandeep

Hi

I am able to trigger the change for Release but the change wrt Lock (i.e MDLK - Master data lock at Project Definition) and Unlock (i.e unlock the Master data lock at Project Definition) is not triggering from Item to Project Definition

is there some additional settings needs to be done

Thanks and Regard

Hi Simon,

I have achieved similar requirement using a BADI with the help of ABAPer.

But, we used Accounting integration process to create a project automatically from PPM to PS.
