Changed on Date at Proj Def level

Former Member

Hi All,

I have few projects in which when I REL or TECO one of the master WBS of that project, the changed on date is updated at master WBS level. However the same is not flowing to the PD level.

Shouldn't the "Changed ON" date at PD level aslo get updated with the date on which the status of master WBS is updated?

Has anyone faced such kind of scenario? Any suggestions on the probable root causes?

Thanks

Regards,

D Patel

Hi,

Change in status of PD from CRTD to PREL is only for reference. It will not update any change history for the Project Definition as it only shows lower level WBS element's information.

Change any value/Status for the PD and it will update the "Changed on" field.

Hi Amol / Vengaiah

But I do have some projects where the changed on date (PROJ-AEDAT) is getting updated if I change the master WBS status to REL/TECO. Its happening for few cases , but for few cases it is not working.

Any other inputs ?

Hi Dhwni,

Check if change document for status is active in project profile used. (chance that you might me using different profile and hence finding different behavior in update of Change On.

to check on change log of status follow the path :

PD-> basic data-> click on system/user status (nest to system status)-> check change document is checked->extra->change document->all then click on history it show status changes happened for object and date.

Hi Pradeep,

In our case, the change document for status is active in project profile . I want to understand why does PROJ-AEDAT is not getting updated when the status of PD changes to PREL automatically


Thanks

Hi Dhwni,

Are you saving project once the changes are completed? and then back to project to check the field "Change On".

Hi Dhwni,

In the project profile config, you need to activate change documents check box in two places

One in Basic Data and another in Status Management. When you activate the change document, when you click on PD Status Icon,

If this is set, you should be able to get the status change, if the WBS status is changed to REL, PD status will change to CRTD / PREL

Once done create a new Project and Check

I am not sure, whether you have done this or not. Below is the result of this setting.

Hi Dhwni,

I think this is so called "by design".  You have PD change documents and you have Status change documents.  For direct changes it can update both, for indirect changes it will update only status change documents.

Yes Pradeep, I am saving the project and then checking the fields "Changed on"

Hi Terence,

In my case, the check box is activated in both the places. The issue is that the PROJ-AEDAT is not getting updated when the status is changing from CRTD to PREL.

Hi Dhwni,

I have gone through OSS notes, and found some notes are relevant. Check below note

Hi Patil,

PD and WBS are different objects. Updating WBS will not update PD.

Hi Vengaiah,

If i release the master WBS, the PD system status is changed to PREL automatically. In this case since the status is being changed at PD level too, shouldn't the "changed On" date at PD level be updated ?
