PPM - PS Integration - Error during PS Project creation

[Former Member]

Hi,

Could anyone please help me with an integration issue between PPM and PS?.

I am working with PPM 5.0 and EHP 6.0 for the ERP.

I am trying to configure the creation of a project in PS automatically when an item in PPM is generated.

Unfortunately an error is appearing when I try to generate it from the PPM item.

The error says that it was unable to create the PS Project because there were some fields required that were not filled.

In consequence the item in PPM is created but not the PS Project.

I have done the following:

I have already activated the master switch (Area 0002 Name 007 - Integration with PS and FI/CO).

I have created an item type exclusively for PS projects in Global Customizing > Portfolio-Independent Settings > Define Portfolio Item Types

I have created a model PS project including the WBS level 1

I have done the mapping between this two in Global Customizing > Portfolio-Independent Settings > Map Item Type to Project or PS

To mitigate the error I have modified the setting of all fields in PS Project and WBS so there are no required ones during the creation (I understood that doing so the error should not appear but it still does so).

This last thing I have done it in Project System > Operative Structures > Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) > User Interface Settings > Define Field Selection for Work Breakdown Structures.

Also, after leaving no required fields in the settings of PS, I have created a Project and a WBS in CJ20N and it does not pop ups the error that appears through PPM.

I am attaching the error and the configuration done as screenshots (I am not including the PS WBS and Project field configuration because it is too long but I have eliminated all required fields).

Thanks.

Regards.

Hi Santiago,

I know it is too late for reply on this thread.

Did you change the ID of Item while creating Item in PPM ?

Like you have Z/003-001 in your screen shot. We can mention the next available project number (Z/003-XXX) and save.

It will create the same Project structure as mentioned in Z/003-001 Project of PS.

Hi Santiago,

It might be something to do with OPUJ tcode, Field selection at PS Project level. When you try to create the project in PS when saving the portfolio item some fields which are required are not being indicated in the item.....

Dear Santiago,

In the customizing of "Map Item Type to Project or PS" you have maintained the item-type
with the object type 0INMPSPD.

Then go to the customizing of DFM "Common Functions > Decision Flow Management Settings:

=> Define DFM Object Link Types" and check the object type, which is used in the item-type:
Are the parameters maintained for: Log. System, Destination, Webserver... ?
Are you using the following parameters in the object type:

Key                  OLR3_TS_PROJ_INT_ID
Identification       OLR3_TS_PROJ_EXT_ID
Group                PD
Search Fields        OLR3_TS_PROJ_SHLP
Proxy Class          CL_DPR_OLR3_PROJECTDEFINITION
Implem. Class        CL_INM_OF_PS_PD

Proxy Class          CL_R3_OLR3_PROJECTDEFINITION

=> Maintain Objects for Synchronization:
Is the "Source Grouping" (Portfolio Item) with the "Target Grouping" (Project Definition)
maintained for the Category as "FALSE"?

To debug the creation of the PS-project you can put a breakpoint at:

In PPM-System:
FM: DFM_DO_CREATE_PROCESSING

Class: CL_INM_OF_PS_HELPER, method  CREATE_OBJECT_WITH_TEMPLATE
 

In ERP-System:
FM: BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN
FM: 2054_PROJECT_MAINTAIN

Judith,

Thanks for your reply.

I have checked the points you sent me above, but even though I had the same configuration, it still does not work.

Am I missing something?.

If you need more details please let me know.

Thanks
