Delivery rescheduled during packing - problem

We have a process where we invoice packaging material. When we create the handling unit in the delivery packing, and use material with the relevant item category assignment, an item in the delivery is created.
The problem is that at the same time, the delivery is rescheduled. As we have set up pick/pack time = 1 or 2 shifts in shipping point dependent on route, and the packing is done as the last step before goods issue, the goods issue date shifts 1 u2013 2 days into the future.
As we are in a common system and client with other countries, and the shipping and scheduling process is handled differently, the delivery type is set up with scheduling active. On delivery create we override the parameter with user exit MOVE_FIELD_TO_LIPS. (In our process we want to keep the schedule coming from the sales order in the delivery).
Apparently this user exit is not active when items are added from packing.
I have searched all documentation I can find, as well as this forum and the Wiki. So far I have found no reference.
Any tip of how we can solve this, would be appreciated.
System is 4.6C
Brgds & thanks up front

Thanks a lot. I searched OSS notes, but did not find this one. (I guess I need to learn more about finding OSS).
It had a reference to note 350462. This says it stops the rescheduling for item type = C. Item type C are items added from packing. So to me it this looks to meet our requirement.
there is the issue that if packing materials are stock managed, you can get problems in MRP. So we might need to develop something that take care of that, in case somebody running on our system want to have packing materials managed in stock. The developers have told me, that they don't find any user exit to manage this.
I can keep you posted on what solution we end up with, if you are interested.

Batch number is blank and not editable during packing into Handling Unit

Hi, we have an issue that the batch number (VEPO-CHARG) for delivery line item is not showing up and not editable during packing into Handling Unit through shipment transaction VT01N.
When we have a batch split for one delivery line item, we want to be able to choose which batch to be packed into each handling unit.
Does anybody know any userexit to populate that field or at least make it editable? Is there something in the configuration that make it not show up?
We tried all the SAP suggested userexit for VT01N but nothing seem to control the handling unit packing screen.
Any hint is appreciated and point will be rewarded.

you should take the ovn on the effective date. A max will not always work.
Is the max also not hiding a no data found?

Delivery Split during creation of delivery using ME2O

Bin Packing Problem

Hello all,
Can you please help me out a little bit on bin packing problem?
I have a jpanel and i want to divide its space in order to put rectangles but having in mind that i have to take advantage of all the empty space provided by the jpanel
thnx,
John

Maybe you mean 2-dimensional bin packing?
An example bin packing problem is this:
Jill has 42 files (of various sizes) that she needs to copy to another computer. She wants to use floppies (which hold 1.44 Mb of data). What is the minimum number of floppies required AND what combinations of files would be saved onto each of those floppies?
As an extension, a 2d bin packing problem incorporates a notion of area into the calculation.
(note that both problems are NP complete).
Here is a commercial company that specializes in this (found with Google, 2d bin packing algorithm):

Scan products by bar code during packing process

Hello al SAP experts,
During packing process in my company, for some products of finish goods we would like to scan them by bar code one by one ( like a point of sale in a super market) instead of scanning the material number and typing the quantity.
Like in serial mode where you scan one by one we would like to do it also for non serial products- to scan the catalog number
(or the EAN/UPC code) and the system will sum up the quantity according to the number of items scanned.
Are you familiar with such an option?

Hi
Scanning barcode at packing means, do you mean scanning the HU/carton? can you explain your requirement in little more detail?
We do have the similar requirement & its happening through RF gun. Have barcode for the HU/Carton ready, scan that which creates carton> then pack the product>scan the carton for the SSCC number which gives assurance for the right SKU, qnty & process PGI further.

Java Bin-packing problem

Hi all,
I have a evolutionary algorithm that I want to try and solve, but it's hard getting started and knowing where to start exactly. Here is the description below, it would be great if anyone could give me a few tips on how to go about it:
"The bin-packing problem involves 'n' items, each with its own weight (there are 500 items in fact, and the weight of each is 4 times its item number).
Each item must be placed in one of 'b' bins (there are 10 bins). The task is to find a way of placing the items into the bins in such a way as to make the total weight in each bin as equal as possible.
A chromosome (solution to the problem) is represented as a list of 'n' numbers (500 numbers), where each number can be anything in the range from 1 to b.
Basically, if the 1st number in the chromosome is 4, then this means item number 1 is in bin 4. "
I obviously don't expect anyone to give me code to this, but it would be a great help if someone could assist me in how to get going (i.e. what classes to have and what variables they would take).
thanks

Ok then, thanks for that. This is how I picture it so far, a possible way of doing this:
You would have an Item array, of 500 items, each with their own number (1-500) and each with their own weight (4 * their item number).
Then there would be a Chromosome array, which would be an array of Items (500 of them). Each of these would be put into a random bin (from 1 - 10), and calculations would be made so that the bins' weights would be cumulative.
Then there is a Population array, which is an array of random Chromosomes, that would all have their own fitness function worked out (in this case, fitness function is equal to the heaviest bin - the lightest bin).
What does everyone think? Please correct me if this is not on the right lines. As I said, i'm a java n00b.
thanks

Is there a way to modify the delivery Quantity before Packing takes Place?

Here is the story.
ATP is currently allocating partial delivery unit qty's is the Sales order schedule lines. This is causing numerous problems from a business and logistical standpoint and I have yet after weeks of searching found a solution.
The standard ABAP User exits all make the modifications before the qty is known, or after packing therefore making them not useful. I have debugged the enhancement points and those also seem to not allow for the modification of the delivery qty.
Has anyone every successfully been able to do this. Help is dearly needed at this point.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Regards,
Christopher

Packing problem for parts

Hi Friend
I have a ticket which goes as below .
Part substitution for service parts.
Order is for 20pc of 195.S and 23pc of 145.S
195.S consumes part 195.F
145.S consumes part 195.F (part substitution)
We created delivery 80005617.
We pack the pallets. In the pack proposal tab, we pack each part one at a time using the _SP packing instructions.
When we packed the 195.S, the 145.S were packed together.
We did not do ?automatic? packing, the ?red and white? button. WE PACKED EACH PART SEPARATELY.
When we clicked on the 195.s to pack, the 145.s automatically packed together.
Therefore the parts were combined. See the labels that are attached.
The label printed:
145.S 13pc
195.S 30pc
Wrong quantities for each part.
But both line items consume same material . Line Item 1 is 195.F and line item 2 is 145.S , but line item 2 also consume 195.F only due to material substitution .
How can solve this problem , Could any one help me out on this issue as I new to this topic
But in the label, wrong quantity printed . when checked the print program there is no error found .it is a master label .
If I want to check packing instruction where I have check .
Could I request you to mention path in SPRO and T code to check packing instruction? .
As both line items uses same materials , have they got clubbed together while packing ?
Thanks In advance

Hi,
Packing instruction is master data in SAP. Using transaction POP3 you can check it.

Packing problem in STO

Hello All,
The problem is related to Packing process in case of Stock Transfer Order (STO).After making delivery while doing the packing procedure, in " Handling Unit " supplements 'Handling Unit Group 1' field is not getting populated automatically (under additional data tab) though all the master data against 'Handling Unit Group 1' are maintained.
Please suggest regarding what are the configurations missing.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra

Hi,
As per my earlier posts I have already maintained all the master data against 'Handling Unit Group 1' for example 00001 to 00500 and the combination of finished good & packing material in the packaging instruction in POP2 are also maintained.
Please note that in another scenario the handling unit is getting automatically populated in the packing process after delivery where also the above mentioned areas are not maintained, but still it is working properly.
The steps I have configured and which is also followed in the working scenario are as follows -
In outbound delivery change mode (T Code - VL02N) go to Pack -> Click on Pack Proposal -> Expand packing instruction -> select 602 -> Create HUs -> Message shown is Handling Units were created -> click on Pack material & select the 'Handling Unit' line -> then select 'Detailed view general' -> then go to Additional Data where in Handling Unit Group 1, value is automatically populated / assigned for example 00027.
In my process only the value for example 00001against each respective HUs are not getting automatically populated/ assigned. How to do this ? please suggest if I am missing any steps while configuration.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka

Delivery Rescheduled but I was never told...

I have been a longtime and loyal Best Buy customer. I am a Rewards member along with a Best Buy credit card account holder. Today, I had my first experience of terrible customer service with Best Buy that makes me rethink my loyalty.
I placed Order # (removed per forum guidelines) on 09/05/14 and scheduled delivery for 09/10/14. Shortly after placing the order, I received an email thanking me for my order and information that stated Best Buy would call me the day prior to delivery with atime frame for delivery.
On 09/09/14, the day prior to my scheduled delivery date, I did not obtain a phone call about the time frame of my delivery. Not a big deal I thought, mistakes happen. I logged into BestBuy.com and saw that my order was schedule for a delivery frame of 1PM - 3PM. I made plans to be home during these times and properly secured my dogs so they did not interfere with the delivery.
At 4PM on 09/10/14, my delivery had yet to arrive and I had received no updates on the status. I called 1-888-BESTBUY to inquire on the status of my delivery. I was eventually called back and advised that my order had been "rescheduled" and did not have a delivery date. I explained to the Customer Service Rep that I had not received any information about a rescheduling and he confirmed there were no "notes" in the system. I was offered a delivery date of 09/12/14 or 09/13/14. Unfortunately, my job requires that I work Friday-Sunday (6am-6pm). I explained this to the Rep and scheduled a delivery date of 09/15/14.
After I scheduled the delivery date, I asked the Rep "how is this going to be made right?" The Rep advised that the only thing he could do was reschedule the date and had no control over anything else. I then figured that if my business wasn't important enough for Best Buy to "make it right", I wasn't shopping at the right store. I promptly cancelled my order. When I cancelled the order the Rep didn't even try to keep my business, he cancelled the order without question and the transaction was over.
I am highly disappointed in Best Buy and the customer service that was provided. I understand that mistakes happen, but not trying to make things right is highly disappointing. I have now ruined an entire afternoon due to a simple customer service mistake. I hope that Best Buy will make things right, but I don't plan on purchasing a TV from Best Buy after this poor customer service experience.

Hello ccm2114,
Every customer that reaches out to us deserves to have their issue looked into more than you have received at this point. I would be happy to look into your order and provide you with some information on what happened. As this has never happened to me, I cannot empathize with your situation. However, I will respect your inquiry and look into this for you more!
After using the order number you provided, I took a look into what might have happened with your missed delivery. It appears that on the date your delivery was supposed to occur, your item dropped into a Backordered status. You should have received a call from the warehouse that was performing your delivery to notify you of this untimely inventory constraint. The phone agent you spoke with should have been able to look up your order, as it sounds like they did. Although, he may not have been able to see the information I did at the time you called in. The system can take a bit to update for the line of sight of all of our agents.
I see that you also spoke with my teammate, Arian, through Facebook. On Facebook, our responses are very much in the moment and can sometimes make it difficult to provide you with an in the moment resolution without having you email into us. Here on the forums it is much easier for us to assist you because we typically have enough of your information to look into your issues before even responding. I apologize if this gave you the wrong impression.
It appears the TV you originally ordered is no longer in that Backordered status; if you would still like to purchase the TV, I would be happy to help you create a new order for it. I will need more information from you in order to help you with this. Please check your private messages by clicking on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner while you are logged into the forums.

Delivery document during GR of Production order

Hi All,
I am working on MTO scenario...where we have created the production order against sales order.
So i want to configure during Goods recipt of the Production order system should create the delivery document for sales document.
Can you please provide me the solution.
Regards,
Shailendra

Hi
I dont think there is any standard config for this that upon GR delivery should be created. You may need to write a program with the logic of creating the delivery automatically upon posting of the GR against prod order.
Please advice if you have any question.
Thanks

Extraction Pack Problem in Integration of DataStage 7.5.1 with BI 7.0

Hi,
I am facing problem in loading data using DataStage Extraction Pack. I am using DataStage version 7.5.1A and BW pack 4.2.1. The Load Pack is working fine.
In Extraction Pack properties, The InfoSpoke "xxxxxxxx" is appearing in the search, while trying to select the InfoSpoke the system is showing 'The InfoSpoke "xxxxxxxx" was not found'.
Can you please help me in over coming the issue. Any input is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Kindest Regards

Hello,
But the problem is that when I close the terminal all connection are lost and given error "The requested URL could not be retrieved" That's not very surprising, as APEX Listener is running in Standalone Mode in your current scenario. If you close the terminal session that the JVM is running in you kill the JVM and hence APEX Listener.
You could use a tool like "nohup" to detach the process you start from your terminal session. But using the Standalone Mode for a (long running) production scenario is not recommended anyway, and...
I want to configure listener with EBS .When I start instance automatic start apex listener... obviously not your actual aim.
So, EBS shall be your target. Shoudn't be a huge problem, as EBS comes with an OC4J Container and OC4J is one of the Containers officially supported by APEX Listener. I'm not sure if your EBS already ships with the JDK version needed, but as soon as it runs at least 1.6.0_20 it should work.
As I've already replied to your question in {thread:id=1118604} there is a working approach described in {message:id=10069317}.
Did you try that one? If so and it didn't work out, could you please describe the problems you've encountered?
Thanks,
Udo

Indesign CS5 crash during startup - problem with Graphics.rpln

I work in an architectural company and already several of our computers have experienced this very rare and unusual behaviour. During start up of Indesign (not clicking on any file but just launching Indesign) it crashes with the following error:
"Adobe Indesign CS5 has stopped working"
We use Windows 7 64bit, so the first step I did - I went into Application Log which says, so appears to be a problem with Graphics.rpln.

I have tried everything I could think of - removed and reinstalled Adobe CS5, manually removed Adobe folders under %Appdata%\Local and %Appdata%\Remote folders (why can't Adobe delete those things during uninstallation is always a total mystery), changed video adapter drivers, cleaned Temp folders, everything I knew...
None of the other apps like Photoshop or Illustrator CS5 malfunction - only Indesign. What is going on?
Can it conflict with other software we use? We have Bentley Microstation, 3D Max, Office 2010, Kaspersky Antivirus and LOGMEIN installed on this computer...Any clues, guys?

Looks to me like you've never installed any of the patches. Last patch for CS5 was 7.0.4, so I'd start with that and see if ti helps.

Password reset/change during migration [Problem an...

Hi all,
I would like to share a password change problem I have encountered, and some remedial steps to resolve it during the migration from Yahoo Mail to BT Mail.
Background:
I am a relatively new customer (less than a year) and I have a ABC@btinternet BT ID and email account name. I recently received an email informing me of the pre-requirites for the migration. I have attempted to change my password since then which resulted in being effectively locked out of my account. I tried all of the usual remedies ranging from clearing cookies and browsing data, to different browsers, deep virus and malware scans, to a completley new installation of the OS (Win 7) and even using a Linux distribution.
Problem:
After logging in via the BT main portal email link, I attempted to change my password via the account settings page. This appeared to be successful, and a confirmation email was received via previously set up forwarded address, which would also indicate this assertion. However, after logging out, I was unable to log back in with neither the new password, nor the old. Any attempt to reset using the lost password wizard resulted in the same initial indication of success, but ultimate failure to log in. This is rather counter intuitive.
After several hours of live chat and telephone conversations with the help department, it was found that using the BT main page to initiate a password change for the email service was at fault.
Solution:
There is an alternative using the Yahoo (www.mail.yahoo.com) sign in page to initiate a password change/reset, and will work as intended. Exactly the same user experience, ie wizard completes and confirmation email, but this time the change will come into effect when logging in from the BT main page.
[Edit]
If you have found this after already being locked out of your account (which is very likely to be the case) simply go to the Yahoo sign in page and enter your old password. You will then be able to access your account settings to change to your new one. Similarly, a forgotten password will work from here too.
Things to look out for:
Some of us are under what is dubbed a "mierge journey" and this appears to be at the root of the problem. If the URL for a "Forgotten Password" contains something like
"... /managepassword/merged_consumer_journey/forgottenpass ..."
Then you are probably in the same situation and this advice should apply.
Thanks go to the help team for thier tireless efforts in uncovering this issue, and please reply with any ommisions or other suggestions/situations that will help others and I'll ammend/add to this post.
TLDR:
Do not use the BT email sign in link when changing or restting your password.
Do use the alternative Yahoo sign in page to change or reset your password.

Update:
Workaround: log in using a different client machine.
Scary.
It looks the same problem reported, without response, here: Apex.oracle.com SaaS Login - Must Change Password.
