Dellivery date

Hi All,
Plz gives your input whether it is possible  to transfer STO doc date to delivery date by copying control.  we are using STO pricing at delivery level to create the proforma invoice where  as per business requirement  pricing in delivery will be applicable as per sto date not on delivery date.
regards,
sp shuklaa

Hai SP Shukla,
If you want the STO date to be your delivery order date and same be the pricing date then
program : SAPMV50A
include mv50afz1.
write code
IF sy-tcode = 'VL01N' OR sy-tcode = 'VL02N' OR fcode(4) = 'WABU'.
SELECT  prsdt FROM vbkd INTO v_prsdt WHERE vbeln  = lips-vgbel.
      ENDSELECT.
      IF NOT v_prsdt IS INITIAL.
      IF likp-wadat_ist NE v_prsdt.
          MESSAGE e000(zmsg1) WITH 'S.Ord pricing date and Actual GI date NOT MATCHING'.
Endif.
Endif.
Our checks whether in Delivery order Actaul GI date and Sales order Pricing dates are different it gives error.
If you are using Purchase order, with the help of abaper find the STO date and Actaul GI date are matching.
Else make provision to edit the field so that user compulsorily need to enter the STO date.

  • KANBAN cycle - Change of Schedule line dellivery date.

    Hi,
    I have some queries in KANABAN scenario
    1) How to change the schedule line delivery date generated from KANBAN cycle.

    Hi,
    1.It is not possible to change the schedule lines of the Scheduling agreement with kanban indicator. Only work arround solution is to remove the kanban indicator. Then you can change the schedule line.
    2.Using user exit, during emptying of the bin check whether scheduling agreement is released on not.If not released generate error.

  • How to get the Delivery date in PO line Item in SAPScript

    Hi Gurus,
    I am working on PO Script (MEDRUCK). I copied the Standard to a Z form. ZMM_MEDRUCK, Now I need to print the the Header text at the end of MAIN window.  I put Iem number along with the other line Item informmation like stanadrd PO Script MEDRUCK. I also want to show the delivey date with line Item, so Itried to use EKET-EINDT but it is returning the delivery date of last line item, means while printing the first line and other information it is showing the delivery date of the last line item, I tried with the  PEKPO-EINDT it is also not working.
    Can any body suggest me how i can get the delivery date for the respective line Item  ?
    Regards

    actually your are picking up the correct data from Table EKET (EKET-EINDT) but your are printing that in item data loop for EKET might have already executed in your script and the header of that internal table consist the last entry of the table so for that. Fetch the delivery date explicite from the Table EKET when your in item level processing and print that.
    For Example u can use this code.
    To print you have write the this code in Script item level printing window "MAIN" window
    Following perform is called to get the line item delivery date in PO

  • Very Disappointed with Lenovo Products & Support

    After spending times during the holidays researching the new laptop, I found out that T400 would be really powerful and slick and I was excited placing an order and could not wait to receive it.  Today, I received the product.  It was delivered couple days earlier than the dellivery date.  So far perfect!
    After having dinner, I jumped in the work - opened up the package and put the battery and plug the power on.  Here is what I've been waiting for.  Hit the power on!
    The system ran very quietly - greatly, then the system is setting up the VIsta Business OS. 
    Than PING!!!  'Install Windows - can not complete installation.  Restart the installation' error message displayed!
    Can't be!  Next thing I know I spent 0/5 hours recyclying the power and the error message was still in the loop.  Got no where!
    I called support for help.  The first guy asked me to hit F11 to go to recovery OS.  Tried that - the system had problem recovering the OS.  It gave me an error about Windows recovery proble.  The support guy told me that I need to go online to register my product, so my warranty is activated and then call back the Lenovo support to ask for System Recovery discs.  DId that and called back.
    The second support guy was on the call and tried to give me some help.  Didn't go anywhere.  He said he'd transfer me to talk to T400 support people.  Sound good!
    I was on the phone for 1/2 hrs with the third guy trying to ask me to hit all those F8, F11 key for system recovery.  At this point, my head was all of steam and ran out of patience.  I asked him if he knows what he's talking about.  He counter-argued with me and blamed on me for not following the process.  He finally came back to me to go to Lenovo website to find instruction how to create my own system recovery discs.  I followed his direction and go the the website he recommended.  After reading the instruction, the assumption is that you must be in Lenovo thinkpad and in Windows Vista to create the recovery disc.  This is typical to all Vista OS.  Struck out for the third time for the lousy support.
    I decided to call back for the last time.  Talked to the fourth support guy.  He read the case and asked me to go online and register and call back to ask for the System recovery discs.  That's it for me.  I told him that I had enough of the BS.  I've decided not to tolerate this scrappy support and pack this brand new T400 which I now believe it was the worst laptop I've ever bought.  I could buy a no brand name laptop and it worked even better and I don't have to talk to these kinda support people.
    What a nightmare!  No more Lenovo!  I'm sharing a real life experience with highly overated brand name Lenovo!  It's off my list for now. 
    Jeff

    OK.  Thing just got worse and worse which I'm now convinced that Lenovo organization is far below inferior.
    In the last couple days, I've placed multiple calls to the RMA dept. and dealt with 4 different analysts trying to have the MFG defected T400 RMAed back to Lenovo with full refunds.  These analysts advised me that I had to pay 15% restocking fee or I had to order the new laptop for exchange.  I told that I do not feel obligated to pay for the restocking fee since this is a MFG defected brand new laptop; otherwise, this would be a good but scammy business model that Lenovo is running.  These guys stuck with their policy, so I asked to speak with the supervisor/manager on duty to have this matter resolved.  I've already requested three times couple days ago and have not heard back from them.
    I kept calling them back.  The last analyst I spoke to with the name Akshatha Rxxxxxxx (x. 17xxx) based in India tried to asked me with same old questions from the previous analysts (one of them is Ahmed Sxxxx - x17xxx) which I declined to go through the same scripted interview.  I told this lady that I was just simply wanting to speak with the supervivor or manager on duty to have the matter resolved ASAP.  She told me that I had to answer her questions, otherwise, she will not help me with my request.  I then just told her to end the call and file a formal complaint with Lenovo.  She said you do so.  So that is what I have to go through.
    I can't imagine Lenovo's customer service stands at this inferior level.  Rightnow, I'm getting a brand new laptop that doesn't work and have to deal with these kinds of service flows.  Where does Lenovo stand at the customer's voice?
    I'll definitely file a formal complaint and raise this matter publicly.  I'll keep you posted...

  • I install window 8 and Unfortunatly all drive format. And all drive mix, now i have only 1 DRIVE C. I want Bit locker Drive's data Back

    Last sunday i install a window 8 and this window format my all drive & make it 1 drive (DRIVE C). Before all of this i have 5 drive in different size with 1 Bitlocker protect drive.
    So i try data recovery software to recover my data. i got back all my data without that ( bitlocker ) protected drive.
    so please guys help me how can i get back data from bitlocker protected drives.
    please please help me.

    Hi,
    I sorry for your experience, but there is no way to recovery the data encryped by BitLocker untill now.
    BitLocker is designed to make the encrypted drive unrecoverable without the required authentication. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or recovery key to unlock the encrypted drive. Therefore, we highly recommend
    that you store the recovery information in AD DS or in another safe location.
    Please refer to the link below for the statement:

  • Refreshing the Data from a embed view in a view container

    Hi everybody
    I would like to know how can I do to refresh all data from a View with a view container the problem is:
    that I have a window that has a view at the same time this has a view container.  The Main view brings the data of editable elements when I select one element of the main view the view container brings a list for that element (dependencies) but only the first time a choose an element loads the correct data, when I choose another one it brings the same old data and doesn't make the call for the wdDoInit() method.
    The question is:
    How do I force the view to refresh all the data or call again the wdDoInit() method?
    Thank you for your help

    Aida,
    Lets say you have two components C1 and C2 and you want method from C1 to be available in C2 then follow these steps:-
    1) Goto the Interface Controller of C1 and create a method there lets say doSomething
    2) Then goto C2. There you can see Used Web Dynpro Components --> Right click Add Used Component --> Give some name say C1Comp --> Click browse and select C1 --> Click Finish.
    3) Next goto Component Controller of C2 --> Properties --> Click Add and check if C1 is added. If not then select the checkbox and select OK.
    4) Now goto Implementation tab of C2 and lets say wdDoInit you can write following code:-
    wdThis.wdGetC1CompInterface().doSomething();

  • Format C drive, what steps to take for retaining all data of iTunes?

    Hello
    I want to format my C drive of Laptop and shift my itunes to E drive. I'm on windows 7. C drive is having itunes and in that I have synced my 2 iphones and 1 ipad.
    Now I want to format the C drive and want to retain all the data, backup, media etc of my synced data with the itunes.
    What I've done is that I transferred my music location from C to E drive by using apple forum discussion. I changed destination to E drive in ADVANCED TAB in Edit-Preferences. Then orgainzed data. That was successful.
    Now please help me on what to do next so that i can retain my all my data of itunes safe before formatting my C drive.
    Thanks in advance

    This definitely isn't intended as a substitute for tt2's tutorial (which is comprehensive and more detailed - in case of any differences I'd follow what's stated there), but in summary you should be doing the following.  I've assumed that, as per your original post, you've changed your media location to E:\iTunes and consolidated the library.  You now have a "split library" where:
    E:\iTunes contains a folder called iTunes Media which in turn contains several subfolders such as Automatically Added to iTunes, Audiobooks, Music, ...
    C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes contains the following folders and files:
    Album Artwork (folder)
    Previous iTunes Library (folder)
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb (file)
    iTunes Library Genius.itdb (file)
    iTunes Library.itl (file)
    iTunes Library.xml (file)
    I'd suggest making sure that you're running the latest version of iTunes before proceeding - by default, this will be the version that you download and install when you rebuild your PC.
    Before you change anything else, exit iTunes.  Now copy all of the folders and files in C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes to the same folder on your external drive (E:) that contains your media folder.  You should now have this:
    or something very similar.  Now restart iTunes while holding down the SHIFT key.  You will see this dialog:
    Select "Choose Library ..." and navigate to the folder on your external drive with the content as described above.  Select the iTunes Library.itl file and click OK.  iTunes will load - check that everything you expect to see is there.
    You now have a "portable library", i.e., all your media and the files that iTunes uses to organize them.  You can use this in conjunction with any PC running Windows and iTunes (noting limitations regarding your iTunes account and authorizations).  As tt2 suggested in his response, before you go any further:
    Make a backup of your new portable library to another device.
    De-authorize your iTunes account.
    Back up everything else you need to retain from the C: drive of your PC (this is beyond the scope of this forum - there's plenty of help out there on various Microsoft sites, etc.).  Just remember that once you take the plunge and reformat the C: drive anything that you haven't backed up is gone ...
    Once you've reformatted the drive and reinstalled Windows, install iTunes.  As befpre, hold down the SHIFT key when you start it up and select the iTunes Library.itl file on your external drive. You can then re-authorize iTunes and be back in business ...

  • I was given the wrong macbook when I gave mine in for repair.  I want to complain.  Also, they wiped ALL my data off the hard drive.  I want to complain to someone in authority.  How?

    I am extremely disappointed and angry with Apple service.  I am a writer and booked three weeks in Spain so that I could finish my book.  On the second day my laptop cut out on me asI was working on it, so I took it to Goldenmack in Cadiz.  Not only was I given someone else's macbook when I went back to collect it, but then when I returned to the UK, the Apple shop in Brighton managed to delete ALL my data from the hard drive because I was unlucky enough to get a trainee on her first day.  I have since learned she should not have deleted my data without even running a diagnostic.  She told me she was going to 'restore' the drive.  I took this to mean she was going to restore my work.  But no!  She erased the lot.
    I complained and eventually was put in touch with a supervisor, who I was told  had authority to resolve the issue. She said she would get the shop to phone me.  That was ten days ago and I'm still waiting. 
    Ok so there's nothing I can do now to get back the three chapters of my book that I have lost and didn't back up, but the  hard drive on this laptop is still faulty.  I try to back up my work every time I use the machine but as soon as I attach an external drive, the whole thing shuts down. I can't use it any more as I can't risk losing any more work.    This laptop is only just over a year old and this is just not acceptable, especially since I have really looked after it. 
    This is an appalling service I have encountered from Apple, and I am not going to ignore it.  I have contacted the young chap whose laptop I was erroneously given, and the repair of which I paid for! (although I did eventually get a refund),  to ask him if he had been given mine as well.  He said he had been completely unaware that his laptop had been given to me and he is furious as he had loads of "sensitive material" on it."  I have no idea in whose hands my laptop has been either, or indeed what damage it sustained while it was supposed to be in for repair.

    Contact Apple Support:
    http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

    Be sure to refer to the repair ticket number.

  • Data Back Up Plan

    Hi,
    My internal hard drive, 320 GB, 'fully loaded', on my 2 year old imac crashed 10 days ago.
    Since I had the extended warranty, the 'local' Apple store replaced the internal drive within hours
    at no charge and even loaded Snow Leopard and iLife. With a well updated TimeMachine on an external hard drive I was back working at my imac the next day. When I realized after the crash that my precious 250 GB of pictures in Adobe Lightroom and iPhoto, along with a few videos were saved on just one older Maxtor external hard drive, it made me think about a more solid back up procedure.
    The idea now is to move all big volume files to one or more external hard drives.
    In the meantime I have transfered the iPhoto and Lightroom files to an external hard drive (WD MyBook II, 2x1 TB in RAID 1), which gives me the first layer of back up: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/552322-REG/WesternDigital_WDH2Q20000N_2TB_My_BookStudio.html
    In a second step I am planning on making a clone (with SuperDuper or CarbonCopy) of the internal hard drive (mainly operating systems and applications) and the external hard drive (all big data files) on one additional external hard drive, i.e. OWC Mercury Elite AL Pro Raid 0, 2 TB http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/ME8Q7T20GB64/
    I am looking for advise here:
    Do SuperDuper or CarbonCopy (I only know the names from the discussion forums) allow me to make a clone from 2 separate hard drives
    Would it be good practice to create a large clone of ultimately 2 TB with ALL files or wouldn't it be better to make 2 clones , one of the internal and one of the external drive.
    TimeMachine had helped me to get back to work quickly after the crash. I expect to fill the WD 1TB drive rather quickly. Where should I plan on using Time Machine in my new back up plan?
    Would appreciate comments and advise.

    No. A clone is of your boot volume only. But those apps can make separate backups of multiple drives, either to multiple drives or to separate partitions on the same drive.
    Would it be good practice to create a large clone of ultimately 2 TB with ALL files or wouldn't it be better to make 2 clones , one of the internal and one of the external drive.
    2 is not only better, but your only option with CCC or SD.

    There is no "right" answer, just a number of possibilities. Some thoughts:
    You could use TIme Machine to back up both your internal HD and the WD set to the OWC, if it's at least twice the size of the data on both. It looks like it can be configured as a +Concatenated RAID set+ (both drives into a single 2 TB volume), so that should work well.
    Or use TM to back up your OSX drive, and CCC or SD to back-up the media drive.
    The CCC or SD backups usually aren't practical to run more than once a day, so consider them your "secondary" backups.
    Also strongly consider getting something off-site (safe deposit box, workplace, relative's house, etc.), so you're also protected against fire, flood, theft, direct lightning strike on your power lines. Portable external HDs are great for that. Some things may even be appropriate to take to DVDs.
    The problem with that is, there aren't many portables over about 640 GB (LaCie has a 1 TB for either $300 or $400: http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=11357).
    CCC is donationware, so you can use it free for a while. If you decide to keep it, send them some $$ so they can keep it up to date. SD has a free version, but to do updates (rather than a full replacement) or automatic scheduling, you need the paid version (about $30). Either is available via Google, VersionTracker.com, or MacUpdate.com.

  • How do I install all my old programs and data from an old system folder after I have reinstalled the same OSX system after a crash?

    The system is OSX10.5.8 Leopard on a 2009 imac. A new system was installed from the installation disks and the original system saved to a folder.
    I need to use my Adobe programs, rescue my email, i-tunes and iphoto data.  The disk utility indicates that my Time Machine back-up disk is damaged and I don't want to take a risk of having Time Machine erase my hard drive and try to reinstall the exact system existing at the time of the crash.  There was over 650 gb of stored files that I was copying and removing from the drive at the time it crashed. The total size of the original system file is still about 650 Gb.
    I would prefer to go back in Time Machine and only rescue the programs as most of the files have been copied to external hard drives, but I can't access the back-up hard drive from the new version of the Time Machine.  Or by I don't want the Time Mchine to start copying the new operating system which would include all the data in the old system file. Time Machine was working fine at the time of the crash.

    No, the disk was backed up with time machine a few hours prior to the crash.  I was unable to open the computer when I tried to restart it- got a grey screen with the spinning disk- after a few minutes the screen would go black and would reboot continuously, but not load any images or programs. I started the computer from the 10.5.4 installation disks and checked both the time machine external hard drive and the Imac internal drive with the disk utilities. Both showed as damaged --the internal drive and permissions were repaired, but the external drive (time machine back-up)  was damaged and not repairable by disk utilities. I don't believe that the external drive for Time Machine was connected to the computer at the time of the crash as I was copying files to a different hard drive drive. And I was not having any problems with the TM back-up drive prior to the crash.
    I accessed the Imac internal disk by firewire (as a target disk) and copied as many data files as I had room for on my external hard drives available.  And I deleted quite a few files from the imac internal drive (mostly just jpegs, duplicate tifs, etc--nothing that was used by i-photos, i-tunes or the Mail program).
    Then I installed a new OSX10.5.4 system from the installation disk and the old system was moved to a folder on the hard drive.  I previousy had had the option to reinstall the complete system from Time Machine when I connected that drive and booted with the installation disks with the C key depressed.  But it didn't seem like a good option because I was unsure of the condition of that external disk and whether it would be able to reinstall my data correctly, once it had erased my internal hard drive. 
    I'm considering buying some new external hard drives and backing up the present system to time Machine (so I'll still have my old data in the old system folder).  And then I would try using the old Time Machine back-up to try to reinstall the sytem previous to the crash.  That back-up would reinstall about 700gb of data and operating software and programs which sounds like a lengthy back-up.  Since I have never used Time Machine to do a full reinstallation (I've only used it for individual files), I'm reluctant to do anything rash.
    I'm a professional designer (with a deadline) but I can still use my Illustrator and Photoshop by opening them from the old system folder and saving the files to an external drive.  So it's not neccessary to do anything hasty except to delete some of the excess art and document files that were causing the computer to run slowly and the  Adobe programs to crash when I tried to save my work. I have quite a few books on tape in the i-tumes folder which is probably talking up tons of space but I don't where the i-tunes files live.
    Thanks for any help. Peggy

  • Data Recovery from Partitioned and formatted Bit Locker Encrypted Drive

    Recently because of some issues in windows 7 installation from windows 8 installed OS. it was giving as the disc is dynamic windows can not be installed on it. so at last after struggling hard no other solution i partitioned and formatted my whole
    drive so all data gone included the drive which was encrypted by bit lockers.
    For recovery i used many software such as ontrack easy recover, get data back, recovery my files professional edition but still i couldnt able to recover my data from that drive. then i found some suggestion Using CMD to decrypt my data first 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee523219(WS.10).aspx
    where it shows it successfully decrypt my data at that moment my drives were in RAW format excluding on which windows is installed and then in CMD i check Chdsk which also shows no problem found. but now problem is still i coudnt able to recover
    my data then i format the drive D and again tried to recover data using above software after decryption still no result. 
    Now i need assistance how i can recover my encrypted drive as it was partitioned and also formatted but decrypted also as i have its recovery key too. thanks

    Hi ,
    I am afraid that we cannot get the data back if the drive has been formatted even if use the
    BitLocker Repair Tool.
    You’d better contact your local data recovery center to try to get data back.
