Handling Material/Part revision in SAP

Hi all,
We have a specific business requirement to handle both Part (Material ) revision and Drawing revision as separate attributes in SAP ECC Material Master. These will be enterprise attributes (not plant specific).
We are already using Drawing number and Drawing revision attributes in Basic Data 2 view to capture Drawing revisions for a Material.
Need your help and expertise to understand if SAP ECC offers any standard attributes to accommodate Material (part) revision (Material types used HALB and HAWA ).
Please let me know if you have any queries to understand this.
Regards,
Vinay

Hi Raghavendra,
Thanks for your reply, appreciate the same, I have now added the relationship objects as per your post above in comm_hierarchy for the particular category
Now in the product master , I am now able to view the tabs(screen shot attached)
Next I create my BOM in ECC with BOM Usage 5 and save the same
Next I run the initial download for the adaptor object BOM in SAP CRM
When I check in commpr01 for the material 4561 the component and the main material have not come.
Can you please advice further.
Kind Regards
Atul

Material Stock revision no wise

Hi,
I need to maintain a part no. with revision in SAP. Stock for these part nos. with revision to be maintained in SAP.
I will take an example and explain, say for a part no: 5213066
Part No.         PartDesc.         Revision   Stock
5213066         Xyzabc                   01            100
5213066         Xyzabc                   02            110
5213066         Xyzabc                   D1            140
5213066          Xyzabc                   D2            200
5213066         Xyzabc                   R1            120
Just like we are checking the stock in TCode: MMBE, we should be able to check the stock for each revision.
I would like to know from the experts out here that how such part nos are managed in any manufacturing or automotive industry which undergoes many phases and part no remains same only revision changes and for each revision stock is also there.?
Thanks,
Tutika.

The batch level is required to be activated for the batch management. The batch management should be activated at the plant level in case the material is batch managed in one plant and not managed in the other plant.
In case the batch management is activated then the batch should be selected at the time of the goods issue. Which is quite obvious as the material having the different material versions, we will need to tell the system which version is to be issued!
The PO will not be affected by batch activation.
Invoice is also out of question to get affected. The Batch activation will only affect the GR and GI.
In case there is different price of the materials of the diffrent versions the same can be managed by the split valuation at the Batch level.
hope this helps

Material Part number or Manufacturer Part number

Hi Gurus,
1. Is there any difference between Material Part number and Manufacturer Part number?
2. Is Material Part number maintained in material master? If yes, where can I find it?
Thanks in advance.

Refer below link
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/106f94ee-8dc2-2a10-a485-882871fa5c11
I think Material Part number & Material number both are same.

Handling the context when integrating SAP with WBIMB

I need to integrate SAP systems with an integration platform that is based on WebSphere Message Broker 5 (WBIMB). Now I am looking for a feasible solution to integrate these platforms.
I am concerned about how to handle the context when integrating SAP with WBIMB.
I have read the topic SAP XI and WBI adapters (SAP XI and WBI adapters) in this forum with interest. However, my requirements are slightly different, and my knowledge on development in SAP is limited.
The WBIMB integration platform acts as an Enterprise Service Bus in a SOA. We have a general requirement about guaranteed delivery i.e. once and only once, and therefore the transport protocol is MQ. The HTTP protocol does not satisfy this requirement. Thus we can use Web Services when they are carried as SOAP messages over MQ, but SOAP/HTTP is not acceptable.
The SAP systems can act as service provider as well as service consumer. The WBIMB act as an intermediary, which routes service requests to the proper provider and service responses back to the consumer.
When acting as a service consumer, the SAP system shall specify the context such that WBIMB is able to route the service request to the service provider. Routing is based on the context, which is specified as a property in the MQRFH2 usr folder. Thus the MQ message containing the service request from the SAP system shall specify this usr property, and the value will depend on the requested service. In JMS, the value can be set by calling the TextMessage.setStringProperty method e.g. as TextMessage.setStringProperty(MyContext, XYZ).
When acting as a service provider, the SAP system shall pass the context from the request back in the response message to WBIMB. Actually, I want to pass the complete usr folder from request to response, because it contains more information than just the context property.
I need answers to the questions:
1. How can I set the context from SAP when it acts as service consumer?
2. How can I get SAP to pass the context (MQRFH2 usr folder) from request to response when it acts as service provider?
3. I have looked at the SAP XI JMS Adapter. It looks as I can set additional JMS parameters. But the property value will depend on which service to call. Do I need to setup a JMS Adapter per service or can I set the value dynamically?
4. Can the SAP XI JMS Adapter pass the context from request to response?
5. Are there better alternatives than using the SAP XI JMS Adapter?
Many thanks for any help you can give me in advance.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your answer. I expected it would turn out this way
So the good news is that when SAP is acting as service consumer it sounds fairly easy to set up a mapping from XI message to MQ context.
But when SAP acts as service provider it sounds as more customisation is required and I am worried about having to save the state. It will hit performance when the context is not carried as part of the message. In this case I prefer to use a generic solution on WBIMB, where I can handle the context for SAP (as well as other service providers). Then I only depend on the ability to set correlation in the response. But it will still cost performance because WBIMB also has to save the state on temporary MQ queue.
Ideally, the SAP XI/Adapter should be able to pass the context 'out-of-the-box' to better support intermediaries like the WBIMB as ESB. I put this on my wishlist
Anyway, I appreciate that you was able to confirm my observations.

Check the Stock of a particular material is available in SAP R/3 from Java

Hi all,
We have both SAPR/3 and Java Based Systems and going to integrate with XI.
For Java user is it possible to check the Stock of a particular material is available in SAP R/3 system or not.
For this requirement can we create any scenario and get the stock available info from SAPR3?
If so then which type of adapters we have to use in this case.
The Java user don't want to store any data here and there but just view the stock is available or not just from his end only.
bye
regards
konala

You can use synchronous Java Proxy-XI-RFC.
Code the RFC to get the stock of R/3 material and route the response back to proxy.

MATERIAL LINK TO ONE SAP SYSTEM TO ANOTHER SAP SYSTEM FOR IDOC TRANSFER

Hi Experts,
How the MATERIAL LINK TO ONE SAP SYSTEM TO ANOTHER SAP SYSTEM FOR IDOC TRANSFER?
Scenario : when 2nd system create the invoice,it will create a po in the 1st system.
51 error msg we are getting material does not exists.but the material is available in the receiving plant.
Please suggest

If you say the material master is available in the 1st system (where you create the order), then the material number in the IDOC may not match with the material number in your database.
leading zeros. material number stored as alphanumeris instead of numeric.

How to handle data that got from SAP by Webservice?

Hi, Gurus.
I am working on IFbA with ABAP and Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
I've developed a function module in R/3 system and created webservice, connected the WSDL address to the form. The problem is how can i handle data that got from SAP by Webservice?
It's Ok if i bind the dataconnection node to the form element, but how can i handle data without binding to the form element? I mean that how can i use the data retrieved from Webserivce in the Javascript, please give me some sample code or script method.
Thanks.

Hi Yang,
If you are using Web Service, then the binding will be done automatically.
It can't grow automatically, what else should i do to achieve this?
1.Select the table(make sure you are not selecting subform) in Hierarchy view
2. Under table select the Row which is having the required fileds for data
3. In the Binding of that row, check the checkbox "Repeat Row for each item data" and under that check the Min Count which will set the default row **** to 1

Synchronizing Material Master revision level across multiple plants

Hello,
If an organization uses material master revision level to maintain the details of material's validity across different plants then we see a material master with different revisions in that organization. Now I would like to understand the impact of this practice in big organizations , is it advisable to have a material master with different revisions in different plants? , if not then which is the best way to synchronize these material masters ( with different revision level ), which are already in use?
Bets Regards,
Avinash
Message was edited by: Ulf Petzel

Hello Ulf,
Thanks for your reply, the actual issue is..
There are two companies; both are using the same material.
We are building a central system and synchronizing the materials from all companies.
While synchronization, we found that revision level are different across companies.
1.      Should we avoid using revision level in our organization?
2.      If I can find the validity of a material with change no + material + plant, then what is the purpose
         of the revision level?
3.     What will be the impact, if we remove the entire revision level across all companies?
4.     In real world, across different organizations, how revision level is synchronized across companies or at least in the central system.
Please let me know your valuable inputs.
Thanks
Sridhar

Is it possible to create a Material Group Hierarchy in SAP ECC?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a Material Group Hierarchy (not a Product Hierarchy) in SAP ECC.
I've read some discussions about this theme:
MM Material group hierarchy ?
but still I'm sure if it is possible to create a Material Group Hierarchy in SAP ECC or if it is only an IS Retail functionality.
Thanks in advance,
Luis.

[SCCM 2012 R2] How SCCM 2012 handles Software Update Revisions?

Hi All,
There are a lot of questions regarding how SCCM 2012 handles Software Update Revisions.
Does anyone know what happened if:
Windows update publish some update with revision #1
Same update downloaded and deployed via SCCM 2012
Windows update publish same update with revision #2 or any newer revision
What is happening with SCCM and already deployed and downloaded revision? How should I know what revision is really on my distribution points?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,

In WSUS Revision History is very simple:
Where I can find revision history in SCCM??? (please do not mention dates):
Possible scenario in SCCM:
Windows update publish revision #1 for one update
SCCM Download and Deploy same update and revision #1
Windows update change revision to #2
What SCCM does after this scenario?
Auto update Distribution Points with new revision of already deployed and downloaded update?
Clearly state in SCCM Console that there is new revision of already deployed and downloaded update and waiting for admin to act?
Just update the revision in SCCM Console and leave old revision od Distribution Points?????
