Hello All!
I'm trying to determine how to utilize the Project Online PPM reports; Deficits and Surplus Report and Requirements Detail report, and I'm having a hard time tracking down good explanations. I have the A. <g class="gr_ gr_128 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="128" id="128">Lavitsky</g> document, but I was hoping there was something more current and more detailed to help me balance these reports to determine how to staff projects. As always, any clues to the clueless are gratefully appreciated!
Cheers, Ray
I can't seem to find anyone else having this issue, even though I poured all over the internet, as usual.
Project 2010, Dec 2012 CU, issue is in both our Prod and Test environments. (The test server has the same data (a couple months old) as our Prod server - the main difference is that PROD was upgraded from 2007 and the test server was a fresh 2010 install.)
We just recently enabled master projects on the system. It's working fine, except for one issue - When you insert a linked project into the master project, then open the information dialogue, the "Project Information" button is greyed out and can't be selected.
It's definitely linked properly, and the button will flash when you first open it - like it might let you click it, but after a milisecond it goes grey and you can't mess with it.
The weird thing about this is that I was trying to record a macro to see if I could "force" my way into that dialogue, and suddenly the button became usable again - but only for a session. I know that sounds insane, but there you have it. So what could be happening that would cause this to be unselectable? There might be some setting or preference somewhere, but if so, I can't find any mention of it either online or in any of my books. My uber fear is that it has something to do with our Enterprise Global, which we've had to kick in the face a few times recently and I would really not like to rebuild it. If I don't get any other suggestions from this post, I'll rebuild it on the test server and see where I get.
Help would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,
my workflow is in a weird behavior.
I have developed a sharepoint designer 2013 workflow for project online, and the normal flow is like this:
User 1 selects a value (yes/no) of a field in project online
stage 1 : assign task100 to user1
if value= yes => go to stage 2
if value= no=> go to stage 3
stage 2: assign task200 to user2
and whether they approve or reject => go to stage 3
stage 3: if user1 selects "NO"=> assign task300 to user3
if user2 Approved his task200 => assign task400 to user3
if user2 Rejected his task200 => assign task500 to user3
Now in the transition stage:
if user3 Approved his task300 =>go to stage 4
if user3 Rejected his task300=>go to stage 1
if user3 Approved his task400 =>go to stage 4
if user3 Rejected his task400 =>go to stage 2
if user3 Approved his task500 =>go to stage 1
if user3 Rejected his task400 =>go to stage 2 (My PROBLEM IS HERE)
It always redirects me to stage 1 rather than stage 2!!!!!
please see the screenshots and maybe you can help me.

I've been trying to identify what is the correct way to get data from Project Online for some time now (I just want to get data, not update it). I can find documentation on ProjectData and a lot of examples using it. But it requires permission edition on the Project Online configuration.
I Barely can find any example or documentation for the ProjectServer and its endpoints seem to have fewer options than ProjectData.
Which one should be used to GET info from the ProjectOnline and why?
Doc for ProjectData: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/project-odata/jj163015(v%3doffice.15)
Hi everybody,
I'm the Project Server 2010 administrator and I need to transfer all pending Timesheet approvals from one manager's central into a second manager, so the second manager may evaluate them and approve/reject them. Anybody knows how? I hope that the solution is not to contact all employees in order for them to recall their timesheets, and re-send them to the new manager. I'm talking about a lot of pending timesheet approvals. As a note, I'm not looking on transferring pending project Status Updates nor pending Administrative tasks.
Thanks in advance,
Jorge

Hi,
here is an easy one... Can someone help refresh my memory... with regards to EPM version 2010, when in PWA > Resource Center > Resource Availability...
When toggling resources in the Resource Availability's legend, did the capacity line in the various histogram views adjust accordingly or was/ is it static?
In Project Online, with the Resource Request/ Engagement feature enabled I noticed that the capacity line does not adjust/ change (ie., it is static). I could swear that it use to adjust in previous versions of PWA when I used to toggle the resource names within the legend of the PWA > Resource Center > Resource Availability views. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance,

I want to be able to select a Custom Field that I have created called "Skill" (that uses a Custom Lookup Table also called Skill) in the "Role Custom Field" dropdown during the resource analysis portion of Portfolio Analysis; however, "Skill" is is not available. How do I make this available in the dropdown for selection.

Anyone seen the problem of the Project Summary web part not showing accurate information? There are 5 late tasks (shown correctly in the task list "Late Tasks" view). But the PSWP only shows one late task and that is a parent task. I have removed and re-added the web part. Pointed it to another task list then back to the original. SharePoint/Project Online connected site. Everything else seems to work but something is not reading correctly from the connected task list. No other forums seem to have seen this problem.
Hey Guys, we have gone head first into Visual Studio Team Services (Online) and have thus far been able to do everything we need to do. I see that you can connect Power BI to VSTS, but have yet to be able to find a way to connect the data in VSTS to Project Online or Project Pro which our portfolio manager would very much like to be able to do. We aren't committed to any version of Project yet, so we're pretty flexible.
Can anyone here help me get started? It seems like there must be a way to do this.
Thanks!
Hi all,
Our current resource engagement process only tracks project work allocation/forecast for resources using 'EPM Resource Plan' however, we also want to track the 'Resources forecast' for all non project work activities includes BAU, Initiatives, Ad-hoc.
Currently, in regards to timesheet actuals we create a 'Project name abc - timesheet task' and resources capture their actuals against that task within timesheet. This means that resources are not assigned at WBS level within the schedule just only a timesheet task get created within each project.
For tracking the non project work activities, I was thinking to introduce the Non Project Work schedule template to capture the resources forecast for non project work activities as per below with the default resource booking type as "Proposed" in schedule as I don't want task to be appear in resource MY Task, Existing Timesheet and New Timesheet views otherwise it conflicts with the existing process but it should appear in the Resource Assignments view so that data can reported using SSRS report. Can I change the enterprise resource booking with in the project schedule different to set in resource center or do you see any issues?
I would appreciate if you can share your experiences or recommendations and what do you think about above approach? Please help to provide your guidance on setting up the non project work schedule template e.g non project work project will created for each financial year, Should I set the tasks to fixed duration, non-effort driven and auto scheduled and what is the best way to allocate resources for non project work activity?
Many thanks

Hi all,
Has anyone come across this duplicate values issue with the multi-lookup table? Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Environment– Project Server 2013
[Business Manager_New] is multi-lookup project server custom field column
The only one value is selected by the user as per above screenshot for the project. However, the SQL query returns the duplicate values in EPM_ProjectWebApp.dbo.[MSPCFPRJ_Business Manager_New_AssociationView] table for this project. This issue is occurring for multiple projects and showing more than 1 duplicate records.

Hi everyone
I'm currently looking for microsoft project server 2016 (2019) and Online certification, not an user certification like 70-348 but a technical one (How to configure and so on) and I'm looking for the same for Server 2016 (or 2019 will be better)
Any idea if these formation exist?
Thank you
Hey.
I have setup a Microsoft Project 2016 Server, but if i try and create a new project via the ms project site collection like "http://MySharePointSite/sites/MSProjectPWA/_layouts/15/pwa/Wizards/CreateProject.aspx?src=GettingStarted#{"stage":1,"eptUid":"09fa52b4-059b-4527-926e-99f9be96437a"}", it just returns the error "GeneralInvalidColumnValue" to the UI" and
the ULS Log states
"Error is: GeneralInvalidColumnValue. Details: Attributes: PROJ_OPT_CURRENCY_CODE . Standard Information: PSI Entry Point: Project User: i:0#.w|REM Correlation Id: 61f90dbe-2f5f-e811-972f-00155d008604 PWA Site URL: http://MySharePointSite/sites/MSProjectPWA SA Name: MS Project Server PSError: GeneralInvalidColumnValue (20000)"

If i create a new project from Ms project from office or i import it it works fine.
I also get errors other places, like if i try and access "Additional Server Settings" i get a cultural error in the ULS Log
Application error when access /_layouts/15/pwa/Admin/ServerConfig.aspx, Error=Culture ID 4096 (0x1000) is a neutral culture; a region cannot be created from it. Parameter name: culture

I have tried to setup ms project on 2 different farms with the exact same result.
