Creation a new plant by copying

Dear all,
I working in a project where we need to merge on plant to a new company code.
I believe that can be solve with Tcode EC02, which actually will copy all characteristics from that plant to the new one under a different company code, won't it?
This basically means that also all the information related to procedures (like release procedure), Output types for inventory management, etc, etc will be copied, meaning that we wont have to do any new development?
I assume we will still need to do some customizing like MRP Controllers and so on, or this transaction will also copy all tables?
Thanks a lot in advance for your confirmation,
Mario

Hi Suraj,
That basically means that unless we decide to create any new development/customizing everything will be exactly copy as from the original settings, am I correct?
My question comes due to the project where I'm working now. Customer basically wants to close one company code and take everything to another Company Code, therefore we will need to replicate everything as it is now (Plants, SLocations, Controlling Areas, Sales Orgs, etc).
My assumption is that when we create new plants with reference from the old one, also all values under tables will be copied, so we won't have to spend time in customizing, and we will be able to focus on other activities that may require customizing or more work.
Could you please advice me on that point?
Thanks a lot for yor time!

Dear All,

what need to be looked for side effects if any?
pl give your valuable suggestions.
Thanks and regards
Ajay

If you create new plants - there is no adverse effect but you have to make sure that the plant you create is copying by the existing.
other things if you have any custom reports based on the plant then the new plant should be included, authorization needs to be consider if any basd on the plant,
etc

Creation of new plant and the impact of business

Hi to all
i am creating a new plant, and would like to know the impact of the plant, what are the changes to be made in the customization, i want to know what are the chages required, and let me know after unit testing and integration testing what activity to be performed, as i am at go live stage and in the production client how to extended the master data, what is data migration how it can be done,
thanking you

Hi there,
As an SD consultant, these are the things you need to take care.
Assign the plant to the company code in OX18.
You need to assign the new plant to the sales org / distribution channel in OVX6.
Then assign the shipping point to plant in OVXC. If WH is active for your plant, then assign warehouse WH to plant & storage location in LE assignment.
Reg the master data, you need to assign the material master to the new plant. Also maintain the MRP profiles, plant specific data in the MM01.
Maintain the shipping point determination in OVL2 & storage loc determination in OVL3 (OVL3 if required)
Check with MM, PP & FI if they need to maintain any plant specific configs. There are some configs from their end for sure. For eg for production orders, purchase orders, movement types etc.
Reg the testing, you need to ensure that plant gets proposed automatically when a new sales order is created. Also maintain the relevent plant specific condition records.
Similarly when PGI is done, it should update the transfer postings in MM & FI w.r.t plant.
Even tough your project is in final stages, you have to do a regrious testing when a new plant is created. Testing cannot be compromised for time lines. It will lead to serious production issues if tsting is not properly done.

Creation of new view by copying existing view in IC WebClient (BSP)

Hi,
we need to add a new view which will be a copy of existing view in IC web Client application. I ve created the new view & a controller for it(kepping the controller class same as that of old view).
I have also created a new Id in the viewset runtime framework for the new view. Added this new ID in the viewset, but in the presentation layer it keeps on displaying the old view twice.
Is there anything that I m missing out on???
Pls help
Thanks & regards,
Deven

Hi Deven,
I think you have to create a new controller class for the new view, even if you don't want to change anything. Because in the attributes(attribute name - VIEW) of controller class you have to maintain view name.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks

OX14 - Define Valuation Area (Tick one only- Once your system go live, no more changes)
             Most company take the SAP recommended choice - Value Material Stock at Plant level
             Value Material Stock at Plant or Company Level
If you valuate material stocks at plant level, the plant is the valuation area.
If you valuate material stocks at company code level, the company code is the valuation area.
The decision you make applies to the whole client.
OX10 - Create / Change / View Plants
OVXB - Create / Change / View Division
OX18 - Assign Plant to company code
              e.g.       0001 - 0001 - All Plants
                                      Px1   - Plant Px1

OX19 - Assignment of company code to the Controlling Area
OB38 - Assign company code to Credit Control Area

Creation of a new plant

Hi Gurus,
While creating a new plant in real time, is advisable to copy a standard plant or define a new plant ? Please give reasons.
When a plant is copied what are the various parameters that are copied to the target plant ?
Thanks & regards,
Surender

Surender,
SAP recommends creation of plant by copying. Generally when a new plant is created it should be copied from any of the existing plant which functions similar to the new plant.
The reason for this is when creating we may miss to update all the required configuration and all the configuration tables with links would not get updated. This also reduces time of setting plant as you need to just change/add configuration where ever required in the new plant.
But if you are a fresher trying to test in your test system... create it in create method so that you will understand in the hardway as what all needs to be configured, it will be a good learning which you will not forget. Please dont try this when you are working with a client system as this make give you lot of trouble and need lot time to resolve issues.
