PPM 6.1: Mandatory completion of a dependent task to complete the following

[former_member192883]

Hello Everyone,

Is it possible to restrict the completion of the following task until the dependent task is complete if it has a "finish to start" relationship?.

Ex: Task A & Task B has a finish to start relationship, task B shouldn't be set to complete until Task A is set to complete.

If not, what's the purpose of the having a relationship when a user can complete the tasks at any sequence.

Hi Mohan,

in the standard, there is no logic that would check if a relationship exists to prevent the completion of a task. There is only a check with regard to subtasks, see also IMG activity 'Define Task Types', flag 'Completion' and 'Completion of Subtasks'.

You could use BAdI DPR_ATTRIBUTES, method CHANGE_STATUS_CHECK to allow the status 'Completed' only if the task has no predecessor/successor. There is also a sample code available, which you can change according to your needs.

Regards,
Silvia
