Oracle Techno Functional module career path suggestions

Hi,
My educational background is BE(Computers) and MBA (Banking and insurance). At present I am working as QA lead and have 5 years of work experience in QA. But I want to switch my career path from QA to Oracle techno functional consultant with oracle finance module. Can anybody please suggest what will be my future prospects or career path for this. I wanted to sign up for a oracle techno functional training but before this wanted to get some expert advise if this will be beneficial. Any help in this matter will be deeply appreciated.

I was an accoutant by trade 1991-1999 and started learning DB concepts and reporting in general. I was able to get a job writing crystal reports for Solomon accounting package. That led to support for the accounting package. That was in 2000.
Our company purchased the Oracle ERP suite in 2003, so i was able to go to train and be here for implementation and go live. I was lucky in that i was able to get training. You have a good business background, which is very important for functional analysts. The tough part is too get a foot in the door in a company that uses Oracle.

Dear Ayyappan,
It is you to decide whether you should opt for technical or the functional expertise based on your qualifications and interest areas. As you are the best judge of your own skills!!
As per my take, seeing your experience i strongly feel that you have some technical background and should opt for the technical ABAP expertise. In case u feel that you are good at the functional expertise as well and can make a mark then you should go for techno functional modules which requires the knowledge of both the technical as well as functional i.e., in case of all Industrial modules like the ISU etc.

Hi Patrick,
If you do not want to use the function module then the other option that you can use is do selects from the tables that the FM 'HRPP_FI_ACCT_DET_HR' is using to get the importing "parameter gl_account_debit         = wl_razao" outside the loop.
So steps will be:
Debug FM 'HRPP_FI_ACCT_DET_HR' to find out how it getting importing data using exporting parameters.
Then before the loop is called do a select for all entries on table tg_rubcr. And id muliple tables are used Read statements to populate a final table with gl_account_debit         = wl_razao value.
Then use the final table to get this value inside the loop.
Please let me know if you need more details.

Call ABAP function module from script?

Hi,
I have an ABAP function module, which works fine when I call it in a transformation.
Since I don't need to execute this function for each record but rather for each file I process, I would like to move the call from the DataFlow to a script in the WorkFlow. When I click on the 'functions' button the ABAP FM is available in my SAP Datastore, so I drag and drop it into my script. I also make sure to populate all required variables.
There are no error messages or warning when I check my job definition.
When I execute it, I get the following RFC error:
Function call <xxx ( abcd ) > failed, due to error <150413>: <RFC CallReceive exception <FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND>.>.
Is it just not possible to call an RFC enabled function module in SAP from a script or am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks,
Jan.

Could you please let me know how I can call an abap function module from a transformation? (from abap xslt program). I know how we can call methods of a class from the transformations, but no idea how we can call function modules. Any suggestions or a sample code snippet towards this will be very useful for me.
Thanks,
Shashi.

Some issue with the Function Module u0093'SKWF_FIND_BY_QUERY' in a BW ECC6.0

Hi All,
Need some urgent help..
Iam facing some issue with the Function Module 'SKWF_FIND_BY_QUERY' in a BW ECC6.0 system.
As shown below, in the function module, the Table IT_PROPERTIES_RESULT gets populated with some values based on inputs like IT_CLASSES, IT_QUERY, and L.
This updation of IT_PROPERTIES_RESULT table is happening for some of the services sent through IT_QUERY and is not getting populated for some.
call function 'SKWF_FIND_BY_QUERY
exporting
CONNECTION_SPACE         =
    OBJ_TYPE                 = 'L'
PTYPE                    =
X_STRICT                 =
IMPORTING
ERROR                    =
     tables
     CLASSES                  = IT_CLASSES
     QUERIES                  = IT_QUERY
     RESULT_OBJECTS           = IT_LOIO
PROPERTIES_REQUEST       = PROPERTIES_RESULT        = IT_PROPERTIES_RESULT.
The values are as follows:-
Values getting populated in IT_CLASSES BW_LO_TRAN               Values getting populated in IT_QUERY 1) BW_QUERY, 2) /BIC/ZSERVICE
I would like to know whether any Standard Customizing BW transaction is present that is maintaining IT_PROPERTIES_RESULT table properties and fetching through this Function Module.
Also, suggest how this issue can be resolved
Thanks & Regards,

Deactivate authorization checks in BSP or function modules?

Hi all
I have a BSP application that seems to use a standard function module that performs an unwanted authorization check on object M_MATE_VKO (Material check on sales organization)
I know it is possible to globally deactivate authorization checks in certain SAP transactions (SU24)
Does anyone know if there is a similar functionality for BSP applications or function modules? Any suggestions on how to deactivate such authorization checks in BSP applications?
Regards
Mike

> I will also check with my developer if this function module has any return codes etc that can be useful for a custom authorization check. However, I thought these checks were all done within the function module and that it will only return a true/false authorization, sort of... and I am not sure it's a good idea to override all standard authorization checks in this function module
Sometimes you can handle the messages, but your developer will be able to help you decide whether that is a good idea or not.
Globally deactivating the object for the whole system is most likely not a good idea, as you seem not to want to grant it because you need it somewhere else...
Deactivating all checks for the function module is probably not wise either, as I would think that it applies to the whole function group. Developers can do such things sometimes, but often it results in all end users being able to do the same.
I know that proposal indicators can be set for function modules, but have not tried check indicators. Again, I suspect that it would apply to the whole function group.
I would think that a carefull choice of function module and consulting with your functional guru about config which will not interfer with other requirements is the best route to take.
I like threads like this. If I bump into a specific solution I will remember it. Try using the search here at SDN on the names of some of the FM's which you are considering - someone might already have solved it...
Cheers,
Julius

Changing delivered class/function module.

Hello All,
Can I change delivered ABAP class "CL_HRMSS_RECRUITING_WF" (add functionality to a method "CREATENBOBJECT"). Also can I change a delivered function module "HRWPC_EREC_CREATE_EREC_OBJECT" .
My original problem.
I am trying to pass the my object (with few attributes read from tables) using CREATENBOBJECT as a parameter to the function module "HRWPC_EREC_CREATE_EREC_OBJECT" (CREATENBOBJECT calls HRWPC_EREC_CREATE_EREC_OBJECT).
The "CREATENBOBJECT" is called as an activity in the workflow (personnel requisition workflow).
Kind regards.
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
Using SE24 to copy CL_HRMSS_RECRUITING_WF to say Z_CL_HRMSS_RECRUITING_WF
Copy Class:
Path:
1> Goto SE24
2> Type in CL_HRMSS_RECRUITING_WF in screen field Object Type
Menu path
3> Object Type/More Functions/Copy. Here you mention your class name (ex: Z_CL_HRMSS_RECRUITING_WF)
Copy FM:
Path
1> SE37
2> Type in HRWPC_EREC_CREATE_EREC_OBJECT in screen field 'Function Module'
Menu Path
3> Goto Function Module/ Other Functions /Copy. TYpe in your FM say Z_HRWPC_EREC_CREATE_EREC_OBJECT
I hope this solves your problem of copying. Herewith make your changes with these new objects.
Please reward points if it has satisfied your requirement.

Posting inv. doc. using function module 'MB_CREATE_INVENTORY_DIFFERENCE

Hi Gurus,
I am posting inventory document using transaction using MI10 transaction. I am debugging the standard code and have put a breakpoint at function module 'MB_CREATE_INVENTORY_DIFFERENCE'. No pressing F8 after entering the debugger is taking me inside this function module but my objective is to know how the tables that are input to this function module are getting populated.For this i have to go back in debugger just before calling this function module.Please tell me how to acheive this.Why i need this information is because i want to post inventory document directly from 'MB_CREATE_INVENTORY_DIFFERENCE' rather than MI10. For this i need to know whatall fields are required to be filled for successful posting and hence creation of MBLNR which is EXPORT parameter of this function module. PLease suggest how to do it.
Thanks
