Calling up the Dates Overview (SAP Library

Calling up the Dates Overview

Prerequisite

You have defined events in Customizing the Project System under Material ® Monitoring Dates.

You have assigned the relevant components and events to a group.

In the dates overview, the system only displays dates for components and events that have been assigned to a group.

If you are using a profile for monitoring dates and you have entered a Group in the profile, when you call up Monitoring Dates the system automatically generates a group that contains all the selected components. If you want to work with this group, you only have to assign it the relevant events.

Procedure

Choose Logistics or Accounting ® Project System ® Material ® Planning or Execution ® Monitoring dates.
On the initial screen, enter the object(s) for whose components you want to monitor the dates. Such an object could be:

A project
A WBS element or a range of WBS elements
A network or a range of networks

Choose Dates.

You can also call up the dates overview from the overview screens for groups, components, and events, if for instance you have previously checked or changed the groups.

Result

An overview of the dates appears. This contains the dates for the components and events that are assigned to a group. Date variances are highlighted and have a traffic light displayed. You can also manually set statuses. You can filter or sort the overview according to various criteria.

If you have the necessary authorization, you can change the dates that the system does not derive from reference dates.
