Publishing event when error log is written

[Soden, John]

The responsible person is set in the 'Responsibilities' tab in txn CJ03 f=
or
the WBS element
 
Another path to the tolerance settings is  SPRO > Project System > Costs =
>
Budget > Define Tolerance Limits (this takes you to the same maintenance
view)
 
Availability of 1 generates a warning, 3 generates an error, you should s=
ee
different % values in the usage for these two entries. If you increase yo=
ur
tolerance limits you should be able to get around the time confirmations
error

Hi John,
 
that looks interesting! I will try to find out who configured this part i=
n
the IMG and the reasons why there are 2 entries for the profile; one of t=
he
entries has the availability control set to 1 and the other entry is set =
to
3.
 
If I set to 2, how does the system knows who is the person responsible?
 
Much thanks!
 
Cristiana

Hi Cristiana
 
You can actually configure the BP messages to be sent via email to the
responsible person for the project via 'SPRO > Investment Management >
Projects as investment measures > Planning and budgeting > Define toleran=
ce
limits for availability control' setting the 'Availability control action=
' to
2 (Warning with MAIL to person responsible)
 
Cheers john

Hello all,
 
still trying to trigger a workflow...We are in 4.6c.
 
Do you know if there is a way to publish an event / start a workflow when=
 an
error log is written?
 
If a time confirmation is entered against a work order that is linked to =
a
 
WBS element (via the additional data screen) and the calculated actual co=
sts
of the time confirmation exceed the budget amount for the object an error=
 is
produced.  The person entering the time confirmation (tx code
IW41) is able to exit out of the error log screen and is able to save the
confirmation. Whilst the confirmation has been saved the actual costs are=
 not
reflected in the work order's actual cost data nor are they represented i=
n
any of the control reports available for the project. The problem does no=
t
affect orders that have a reference to a WBS element in their settlement
rule.  However an error is generated and saved in an error log at the tim=
e of
settlement (table AFRC - Incorrect Cost Calculation from Confirmation). I=
t is
a business and functional requirement for employees to be able to book th=
eir
time to work orders.  It is not appropriate that the processing
 
of time confirmations be aborted as a result of the actual costs exceedin=
g
 
the available budget.
I need for a workflow to be triggered when such an error occurs i.e. trig=
ger
a workflow when error BP 603 happens. The standard SAP delivered system
publishes AFVC_PM PARTIALLYCONFIRMED regardless if there was an error or =
not.
I suppose I could trigger a workflow whenever AFVC_PM is published and ha=
ve a
FM checking if the workflow should start or not...(a bit ugly, isn't it?)=
=2E
The error log can also be seen by running transaction code COFC. For Orde=
r
Category 'Network', SAP provides the option of triggering a workflow on t=
he
scenario that I described above by switching on a flag in SPRO (Project
Systems > Workflow > Configure Standard Tasks for Workflow in the Project
Systems. Unfortunately, for Order Category 'Maintenance Order', such opti=
on
does not exist (SPRO > Plant Maintenance and Customer Service > Maintenan=
ce
and Service Processing > Completion Confirmation > Define Control Paramet=
ers
for Completion Confirmations). If else fails i.e. none of you can suggest
anything better!, I am thinking
 
of writing a program that will check table AFRC for errors and
SWE_CREATE_EVENT if applicable? Any ideas or suggestions are very welcome=
d!!
Thanks and regards
 
Cristiana
