Interlock for confirmation of activity

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

My scenario is as follows -

I have created project structure, It has single network and activities looped into.

Activities are spread across several WBS elements.

I have done scheduling of netwok by linking all activities and defined relationship (FS) in network graphics.

The finish to start sequence is like this

10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 and so on

Problem - After releasing the project and network, I am able to confirm any activity in above sequence.

Requirement - system should not allow me to confirm activity 30 before confirmation of activity 10 and 20.

But I am able to confirm activity 30 before confirming 10 & 20.

Pl suggest me which settings I may need to do. Useful answer will be blessed with full marks.

Thanks and Regards

you need to attach a milestone to each activty with a milestone function to release the subsequent activity

this way when activity 10 is completed, it will triger the releae af activity 20 and so on

obviously if not REL then you cannot confirm

Dear Parimal,

Please go to the T-code OPSU and find the control key used in your network profile. Now change the confirmation indicator to "2 - Confirmation Required".

This will solve your requirement

It's not OBSU, instead it is OPSU

Dear Paul,

The option you have suggested will not solving the problem.

That option is not for the interlocking of the activity....rather it is just specifies wheather confirmation is required or not.

It has nothing to do with the sequence of confirmation.

Dear Gurus....

Pl help me out if u have any solution on this.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

After doing the necessary changes in OPSU, if you link the different activities with relationship as F-S (Finish to Start) or F- F or S-F or S-S then the system will work.

Please tell me if any more problem is there

Hi,

I doubt that user status will solve the issue. User exit CONFPS04 may help you. Also check CONFPS01, CONFPS02, CONFPS03, CONFPS05.
