Project display only

[Former Member]

Hi,

         Could someone let us know how to open the project in the edit mode from within the portfolio item. If you click on the project tab within the portfolio item and choose either tasks or roles, the project opens in a window but it opens in display mode. Any pointers is highly appreciated.

Hello Anantharam,

The way to achieve this is to switch to inplace navigation between the item and the project.

The behaviour you are experiencing with the standard launchpad customizing (i.e. without inplace navigation) is that the project will open in a new window. This means that both item and project are open at the same time, and thus one locks the other (optimistic locking is not supported in this scenario). The user needs to manually toggle the item to display mode before they can edit the project.

With inplace navigation the following happens instead: the project will open in the same window in which the item was previosly opened. The system releases the lock on the item and therefore the project can be opened in edit mode.

In transaction LPD_CUST you will need to change the link navigation mode in the following launchpads to "inplace" in order to ensure inplace navigation:

Navigation from item to project:
Role RPM_RIH   instance OIF
-> application links INM_UI_NAV/TASKS and INM_UI_NAV/ROLES (under INM_UI_NAV/PROJECT)

Navigation from project to item:
Role RPM_RIH  instance DRILLDOWN
-> application link INM_UI_NAV/ITEM_DETAILS

For additional information you can refer to SAP note 1405902 (including the attached document, which provides exhaustive information concerning the navigation customizing in PPM).

Best regards
Francesco
