Project Gantt - Performance Issues

There are major issues regarding performance when working in the Project Gantt chart. Even a small WBS will be a challenge and for example creating activities and creating/adjusting dependencies can take minutes.  I know this has been a challenge for several years and there are a few topics on the matter.  Can we expect any improvements in the near future regarding this issues? Running on 23R2.

Report Project Cost = On project screen nets to zero

We created a Project Cost using Report Project Cost - Non personal.This uses posting control PRJC3 and 4. But all that happens on the project monitoring screen is that the Debit and Credit offset one another to 0.How do you get it to show the committed cost you have posted and not offset. The debit and credit below just offset. We do not want this, we want one line to appear with a value of 10 so Revenue then shows 10.00

Customer Order Line (Sales Part= Manufactures Sales Part) Connection to Project Activity

Hi, I have an urgent clarification to be made based on Customer Order line Connection to a Project Activity. We are connecting a Customer Order Line to a Project. Sales Part is a Manufacturing Sales Part. However, Planned Cost to the Project is not reflected from the connected customer order line. Is this behavior correct? If we connect a Purchase related sales part from customer order to activity the planned cost is reflected in the Project. Regards,Rasfe.

Gantt Chart Scheduling start date issue after activity three

when scheduling a project, dependencies are created between activities. The most common type of dependency is finished to start, which means that the activity cannot start until the predecessor activity is finished. When scheduling the project, the system considers these dependencies to plan the start and finish dates of the activities.   Notice that start date had not change after activity 3 May I kindly know if this is due to a basic data issue.Thank youUdanee

Restrict edit access to projects

Hi, We are trying to achieve the following and currently the only option we see is to create a custom event. Looking for suggestion if this can be achieved in product. We have created template projects that are copied when a new project is created. We need to restrict the edit access to the template projects to only a certain group. The other users should be able to view the template but not edit.

How is #FIELD meant to work in Custom Help?

Hi all,I am testing to setup Custom Help in the lower Help Pane and I wonder how it is meant that #FIELD is meant to work. Preferably I would like the #FIELD could take you to a chapter in the Help File, but how do I tag the HTM file then? Or is it even possible?It works fine to configure the base profile for windows we want a Custom Help File, so that is very useful as it is, but i.e. in Work Task we have a large number of custom fields and it would be so nice if the focused field value could take you directly to the correct part of the document describing this custom fields.We are running App10, upd18 if this helps. ;)Thank you so much in advance!

Single invoice for Customer Order, Project, and Work Order

As far as I know, when you have project transactions and Work Order Transactions there is not a way to send the customer a single invoice.  You have to invoice the project transactions using a project invoice and you have to invoice the work order transactions through a Customer Order.  Am I right on this?Is there a way to combine both into a single invoice?Our customer is concerned about the acceptability of receiving multiple invoices.Any ideas might be helpful.Thank you.

Create Sales Contract from Business Opp Sales Values not copying

I’m trying to create a sales contract from a Business Opportunity.  In the Create Sales Contract dialog, in the lower section I set my line no, description and set my Calculation type for Sales Value and my calculation method of Rate Only and Fixed.  When the Sales Contract is created, the only values that come over from the Opportunity and ones where I’ve set the calculation method to Fixed.  Does anyone know why the values when I am using Rate Only are not coming over to the Sales Contract?

Material Holding: Projects

HiI have a client who has a a project activity set up as Material Holding and Progress method as Connected objects.  It seems that when creating tasks that it does not notify the warehouse/procurement that a new part number is needed.  When the client uses MATL Project Material and Progress Method: Manual or Consumption based, the warehouse/procurement is notified that a new part number is needed.Has anyone came across this problem?  Is the problem with the use of Material Holding and/or Connect objects?

Connection between planning resources in maintenance module and project module App10 upd 11

We are using both the maintenance module and the project module for planning resources (hours, not cost) in our company. Due to how our company is organized, we prefer to group planning hours by organization code, and not by resource group.We connect work tasks to some projects, and group all planning hours by organization code added to that specific work task.Some hours are planned directly on activities in the project module by resource group, but we are not able to find the organization code those hours are connected to in the activity section. Does anyone know if there is a solution for this issue?

How to monitor costs of specific materials in project management?

I want to monitor various costs derived from postings of transactions (purchase order, shop order etc.) for a specific material in a specific project. This material is defined in project product items as well.I considered creating a specific activity in WBS for this purpose, and I suppose I need to use code part values and cost elements in this process, so tried to match a cost element (materials in this case) with a relevant code part (MaterialG) using PCE Code Part tab, but I cannot figure out how to assign the code part value to material so that it can derive the cost.I maybe going in a very wrong way, and appreciate any ideas.
