SAP PPM language problem Portfolio to cProjetcs

[former_member472438]

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with the mapping of Portfolio element description (PROJ_DESCRIPTION) to cProjects description.(DESCRIPTION)

I have realized the mapping of these both attributes by DFM. If I create a cProjects from Portfolio element the cProjects is created and the project gets the same name like the Portfolio element. cProjects is customized to use only one original language (English)

So far, so good.

By starting cProjects with English logon language, everything is correct.

But If I start cProjects with German logon language, I see only the number (object ID) instead of the description. (see Image)

Has anybody an idea, how I can solve the problem?

Thanks in advance

Bernhard

Hello Bernhard!

This is a known restriction in PPM language handling. The Item description respectively the project description is not language independent when logging in with EN or DE. So you have to maintain the description in both languages in EN and DE.

At the moment only notes can be customized as language-independet

=> area 0007 (General Default Values)

=> name 0017 (Notes Language Independent)

=> Settings value = 'X'

best regards,

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your answer.

My problem is as follows:

To make the description in Portfolio language independent, I have enhanced the
save routine in this way, that the description will be set to all languages.

I want to take over the description to cProjects by the standard functionality of
DFM. But by this, the description is set only to the logon language.

For example: Logon in German language, the description is transferred from item to
cProjects on the German layer, but on the English layer the Name of the
template is not modified/ overwritten.

If there is no functionality by standard, I think, I have to enhance the save
mechanism on cProjects side in the same way like on Portfolio side.

Do you have another idea?

Thanks
in advance

Hello Bernhard!

How did you enhance the save routine and where in special have you done your z-coding?

Have you traced the application, when creating projects out of items?

However, in the end the table CGPL_TEXT gets populated by function module CGPL_TEXT_POST.

Hi Bernhard,

I had the same requirement than you when I impemented PPM. We created the item  and cProjects and the name of the cProjects was only updated in the logon  languages the other languages remains with the template name.

I rised to SAP this issue but I didn't obtain the solution, then finally we decided to let the users logon only in EN (PPM) and they can use other languages in other SAP applications.

Hello Peter,

my developer has enhanced odify the METHOD if_ex_rpm_proj_cust_fields~cust_proj_prepare_to_save. So, by saving the item the description will be set to the defined languages.

Now, we have made an enhancement in the save routine in cProjects to get the same result in cProjects, too.

Thanks for your responses and help.

Hi Clara,

Thank you very much for your reply

But I have the requirement that the NWBC for Desktop is used for SAP PPM and PLM. So if I make the logon language only in English, the other PLM users get also the PLM application in English. But for PLM applications the SAP logon language should be available in all languages.

So in this case, it is no solution for me to set the logon language to English.

Thanks for your answers and your help.

Best Regards

Hi Bernhard,

Have you maintained the language in customising SPRO-->SAP PPM-->Project Mgmt. -->Basic Settings-->Specify Text languages.. before creating project from portfolio element.

Hi Ravi,

I have maintained only the English language in customizing. In
Portfolio part I have realized by programming that the description is set to
all languages.

The mapping from item to cProjects I want to make by DFM, but
only the sap- logon language will be transferred to cProjects. If I activate
the German and English language in
customizing I have the same effect.

Have you an idea, how I can transfer the description from item
to cProjects in English and German language?

Thansk in advance

Bernhard
