hiiiiiiiiiii Experts,
In Sap project systems I have created activities and defined their relationship.But it is allowing me to start the successor activity without closing the predecessor. plz guide me how this can be restricted ,unless the predecessor has finished it should not allow me to start the successor.
Another thing is how one can know that this particular activity has started.when I confirm a activity it takes todays date.then it askas for work center.In my plant there is no work center, If i define a work center for project managment what things i should care of.
Regards

hi brijesh,
u can use milestone for individual activity with function "release subsequent activity" to built the relationship control. But in project management, it is not advisable as we may force to carry out some activities parallelly due to schedule constrain. generally it is applicable in Plant Maintenance.
for activity confirmation, which is proposing today's date, change setting in confiamation parameters for order type not to propose dates.
As per Std SAP, whenever u r confirming work, system ask for work center to calculate internal cost. there is OSS note available, which will enable activity (work) confirmation without work center

1.The type of the relationship determines how the individual activities are linked with each other.
You might have defined Relationship type as SS ( Start -Start )
a/c your requirement you should define relationship type as FS ( Finish -Start ). In this case, unless the predecessor has finished it will not allow you to start the successor.
For the detail please refer this link.

2. From the activity actual start date you will get idea that activity is started.
3. For the workcner please refer this online material.

Nitin thanks for the answer.I have defined the relationship type as finish -start .Say for example 1.activity is drawing approval and 2. activity is purchasing.Now when the drawing approval finishes and i close this activity than only i should be able to start the purchase activity.Until than the system should not allow me to add component to the purchase activity and do me the purchasing.But this is not happening.Please help.
