Network activity component requirement date default to current date

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a question for you. Network components requirement date is initially set to network release date. After some time, users will go in and change the components quantity (add more), in this case as well, the requirement date is still set to network release date, which is actually causing a lot of trouble to procurement dept. Even there are no change documents active to see, who are the users changed it. Now, client wants to set the changed components requirements date to current date(system date) and issue message to users. Is it possible to set the date by doing some config change or may be by doing some technical work? Please advice, I am an MM guy, so don't have much idea about it..

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. But it seems, in this case it will not work to set the date to current/system date. Moreover, client want to restrict users or even they set the date back to network release date, it has to reset back to system date.

Thanks Virendra. I found a User-Exit and did a quick check, it's working.

Hi!

i need to have the today date in "Requirement Date for the Component" and "Manual requirement date" by default when create/insert a new material component in CJ20N or CN21/CN22.

Could You tell the user-exit?

Thanks

I have seen the Note 1127691 - User exits while processing materials in Project Systems; but i didn't find any to use the current date.

You can use the 'Work Flow' functionality available in PS to track the users who have changed the quantities/ dates/ vendor etc.
