Not getting Drop down option for project type in SAP PPM

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

As I am new to SAP PPM, I required help on creating a project under the Project management in SAP PPM modue.

While creating the project, I am not getting any drop down option under the field 'Project Type' Though I defined the Project Type configuration in customization.

Can some body help me where I missed anything?

Hello Rajesh,

In customizing activity "Define Project Types" there is also a flag called "Activate Project Type". Please check to ensure that you have set this flag for the project types which you have defined in the customizing.

You should also check that standard authorization role SAP_CPR_USER is assigned correctly to your user (as specified in the Configuration Guidelines for PPM). This authorization role contains an authorization for object CPRO_PTYPE, which is needed in order to be able to select project types.

In case the issue persists, please provide some more information about the behaviour you are encountering: are you creating a project directly in Project Management or are you doing so as part of the creation of a Portfolio Item? Is the dropdown for field "Project Type" empty or is it disabled (i.e. you cannot even open it)?

Best regards

Hi All,

Thanks for your reply, the issue is resolved. I don't have the authorization for object 'CPRO_PTYPE'

Hello Rajesh,

Did you release the project template you created before you attempt to create the project?. If you don't release the project template, it won't appear in the drop-down field.

This action will display the project type you defined or used to create the template.

Regards,

Mohan

Dear Rajesh,

First check, if you are using an implementation of BAdI DPR_DEACTIVATE_TYPES where the project-types are removed in the methods of the BAdI.

Otherwise, you can set breakpoints at:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1)

Webdynpro: DPR_WORKLIST_LOCATOR
View: VI_CREATE
Mathod: GET_DD_PROTYPE

...
check lv_attr_name = 'PROTYPE'.
lt_name_value = lr_entry->get_name_value_list( iv_node_name = 'PROJECT_TYPE' ). >>> Breakpoint

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Check, if table lt_name_value contains any entry when returning from the class/method.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

2)

Class: CL_DPR_API_SERVICES
Method: GET_OBJECT_TYPES_CUST

*/ Get project types
call method cl_dpr_pro_type_cust=>get_all_instances >>> Breakpoint
receiving
rt_type = lt_pro_type_cust.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Check, if table lt_pro_type_cust contains the project-types.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Francesco,

I checked the said role (SAP_CPR_USER) by you, It is assigned to my ID. Still the drop down options are not coming, am I missing some configuration?

Thanks Francesco for your reply.

I will check the role mentioned by you.

Yes I am creating the project directly in Project Management, During creation Field 'Proj Type' Does not give any drop down option. Though I have created Project Type In customization setting.
