Hi!

Did you check that your BP data is valid?

You can check this in transaction PP01_DISP, or in table BUT000.

Hi Matthias,

Now that this Topic of BP validity will start, I have a basic doubt.

Is it possible to delimit BP as when i tried your Tcode its not even showing me valid BP which im able to Staff.

Im nt suer if this BP can have validity?

Any more inputs will be helpful for me and Yasar as well

Hi Matthius,

Yes, the BP is valid in table BUT000 table, am not sure how to check in transaction PP01_DISP, still i get the same above Error while selecting the BP in cProjects Recources > Staffing Tab..

Thanks & regards

A business partner can have a validity dates.

in PP01_DISP, if you don't see your BP, it means it does not exist.

Maybe you make a confusion between employee number (HR) & business partner (xRPM)?

Please check with your HR/xRPM consultant to be sure which data you have currently in your system.

Hi Matthias

Thanks for reply

we are on cprxrpm 4.5 sp 0006

I have HR integration active and the BPs are created autometically using PFAL

Location Time etc data is captured for BP from HR PERNR using RPM_TIME01 as well

Im workin as an RPM consultant only.

When i try in PP01 or PP01_DISP
 for Obj type BP > search is done for all BPs and BPs are shown as well 8 digits with 
2 alphabets as prefix as per customizing
 but it does nt show any data when i select BP and press enter

These BPs im able to staffin cProjects.

Issue is if an employee leaves then the BPs should not be visible in search which doesnt work.

for this i want validity else i have another work around which is not so good.

Strange behaviour

Any inputs on that front

Hi Niranjan,

We are also facing the same problem. Did you solved the issue.

Created the BPs via ALE from HR mini master.

We have terminated some employees and did it in HR side but the issue is the BP is not yet deactivated and still those employees can be staffed in the cProjects.

This also lead to another workflow issue.

So please help me out to solve this issue.

Regards

Raj

If you are sure of the BP not being used any more, you can use the transaction BUPA_DEL to permanently delete these BPs.

However, to avoid inconsistency (because these BPs would have been staffed in earlier projects), you cam rather have them locked.

Open the BP details under transaction BP. Here, you can have the BP maked for "Locked" or "Archive" under the "Status" tab.
