Remove an End_Date on a Vendor

Hi- I have a custome interface to do Supplier adds and updates in R12.
My issue is that once a update comes in for an already end_dated supplier, the customer wants the updates done, and the supplier reactivated.
I have no problem making the updates, but passing null into the API does nothing to remove the end_date on the supplier.
How can I do this? Is there an API to re-activate a supplier? Should I just pass in '31-DEC-4912' instead of null?

Hi Jason,
You can try this as well...

  • Customer cheques given to vendor error

    Hi,
    when we run the t. code ftr03 "customer cheques give to vendor", normally there should be created two documents, however when we control from cheque history we see one document and an error saying:
    Error:
        ICC_TR186
    Diagnosis
        When you posted the bill as Presented to vendor, the system created two
        documents. The first is a bill of exchange usage document; the second
        creates an open item on the vendor's account that effectively removes
        the entry on the vendor subaccount posted by the first document.
        The system could not read the second document from table BSEG.
    Procedure
        Use the bill of exchange history to identify the cause of the error.
    thx for help.

  • Vendor plant number

    Hi
    In my vendor master additional purchase org data,i had removed plant details.but still in T001W table against the vendor plant is appearing.
    Could you please guide from where I need to remove this entry.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    After removing the plant from the vendor master data of the plant vendor, the vendor number will be deleted from the table T001W against the Plant.
    As per the error message, the error might be due to material type configuration for the corresponding material.
    Please check in the IMG as below,
    Go into IMG > Logistics general > material master > Basic Settings > material type > Define Attributes of Material Types
    Select your material type and click Quantity/Value update for the required plant.

  • Function to remove a material in classification system

    Hi Folks!
    I'm seeking a function that removes a material from a class belonging to a vendor from the classification system.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Folks!
    Thanks for your replies, I really appreciate your help.
    I was looking for the BAPI: BAPI_OBJCL_DELETE
    However im having some trouble to make it work. I read the documentation, and I think this should work.
    The problem I'm having is filling the BAPI:
    I don't know if you have worked with this BAPI but I don't get what to pass to the parameters:
    I'm doing as following, for the field:
    OBJECTKEY: I'm passing the material number.
    OBJECTTABLE: I'm passing 'LFA1'.
    CLASNUM: I'm passing the name of the class, for example 'MATSERVPROVEEDOR'.
    CLASSTYPE: I'm passing '010' that means vendor class.
    What I don't understand neither is where to pass the vendor number so it only removes the material from the vendor. Another thing also is they KeyDate, don't really know what date I should pass?
    After testing with no success on objectkey passing the material number I passed to the ObjectKey the vendor number, but the result was the deletion of the entire class and its values, and that wasn't what I expected, I only want to remove some values of the class, not the entire class.
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks Again.

    Gilberto Li.

    Hi All,
    My customer wants to remove some fields in the vendor search screen ( BP DUNS , Email ..). Can anyone give me some input on how to go about this.
    Points for sure!!

    Hi
    This is only possible by making changes to the search help using SE11 Transaction. Copy the relevant search help and make changes in your custom search hhelp and instead of calling the Standard search help, call your search help.

  • I can't uninstall and reinstall itunes?

    Hey,
    For the past few months I have had several problems with Itunes.
    1. I can't use the itunes store because the screen in itunes store is completely white
    2. I can't install the updated version of itunes and quicktime, I get error messages
    3. I can't uninstall itunes because it says itunes doesn't exist
    4. I can't install itunes again from the website because it gives me error messages and shuts down
    5. I can't install or unistall itunes at  all from any location

    You likely have a deepr problem either with Windows or malware on your system.
    Sounds like you need to backup your files and do a factory restore of Windows:
    Once you've done all this Windows will be extremely responsive, and iTunes likely will run with no issues at all.
    Factory Restore instructions:
    1: Backup all your files to cd/dvd. if possible as it's write/delete protected or a hard drive.
    2: Consult your PC vendor site how to do a "factory restore". Old machines used a disk, new ones have a encrypted locked partition on the drive someplace usually called "Recovery". Before you start, make sure the computer can't connect to the Internet. This may mean turning off your router and disconnecting Ethernet cables. You need power and you need to set the screensaver & monitor NOT to activate or sleep in your Control Panel (and set again after you restored)
    3: Note that your going to lose everything, that's the object. And get the machine like it was when you bought it. (All self installed programs you'll install again from fresh sources later)
    The factory restored anti-virus, Flash, Java, Reader, and all old programs on it are vulnerable. These all your going to have to remove, along with the PC vendor bloatware, trial ware, games and other garbage. In your Add/Remove Programs. If you don't do this, these old programs will get online and do a update and your machine can get pawned. Why you don't want a internet connection until they are removed. You just want Windows and nothing else. Enable your Windows Firewall in Security.
    4: Now get online with a wired Ethernet connection to a fast Internet service at home, because (Vista over 200 updates, 2 days) and Windows 7 (SP1 + Win Live, a few hours) is going to take some time.  Windows Update is in your Control Panel/Security or Start Menu > All Programs.
    Install and activate the free Microsoft Security Essentials or free Avast anti-malware the first chance you get.
    When doing Win 7 SP1, if it seems to stop, there is a Windows Live window behind the update window that needs to be "ok-ed" before it continues.
    Vista updates are going to be especially painful, just rinse, reboot and repeat over and over until you get them all and there is nothing more it will give.  Check the Start Menu > Shutdown for a indicator that it's going to install updates and perform the restart.You must keep clicking the "check for updates" until it's really clear.
    5: Once the updating pain is over, you need to do a Windows Disk Cleanup and a Defrag before adding programs. (important for speed!) This can take hours. Will make Windows considerably faster.
    6: Optional (good for notebooks): You can head to Performance > Advanced Setting and tone down Windows eye candy. Set to custom and delete everything but four options, the thumbnails, font and box smoothing and the last one. (or Windows will look like basic XP)
    7: Make sure you do a System Restore Point of this "pristine" and very fast Windows. If you have the ability to make System Restore Disks and Images to DVD's DO IT!! Save yourself having to do this again one day.
    8: Now install your programs and plugins: Flash, Java, Firefox 4 (fastest and the best) VLC, LibreOffice. CCleaner. etc.., Recommended sites: Qualy's Browser Check/ Mozilla Browser Check.
    9: If your computer is still slow, check the RAM. Windows 7 & Vista needs 2GB just for themselves. So add more to your 4GB max (or more if your on 64bit). Check Crucial.com to make sure you get the right RAM specs for your computer.
    10: Do a malware scan of the external drive/cd/dvd's before transferring files, always download new versions of programs from fresh sources so they are free of lingering malware. If all possible, use a Mac or Linux machine to scan for malware as they are much safer operating systems by default. Free ClamXav for OS X, ClamWin for Windows, Clamav for Linux. Update those malware definitions before a scan.
    Good Luck!
    Note: I recieve no compensation for free product or site mentions.

  • ISSUE in cancelling of MRKO settelment

    Hi Friends,
    I am NOT able reverse the consignment settlement (MRKO) and
    I have follow the following steps:
    1. Goods Receipt (GR) is made
    2. Goods issue (GI) is done
    3. MRKO is done with reference to material document (GI)
    4. While trying to cancellation of GI, I am getting message saying that” Batch (LMN) has already been posted in stock K"
    5. i believe once Material documents(Goods Issue) is cancelled then i have to run MRKO again?
    Is there any alternate to reverse the consignment settlement??
    Best regards
    Shrinivas

    Hi,
    You could create a manual credit memo for the value you wish to credit, but if you really want to reverse the GI and remove the stock back to Vendor consignment stock then I am not sure why the system would stop you?
    The message seems incorrect, it is basically saying that you can't post the reversal because the batch has already been posted to vendor stock???? Are you sure that this is the EXACT wording?
    How are you "reversing" the GI? Are you cancelling the document or simply posting a reverse movement (202 K if you issued straight from cinsignment stock)

  • GRIR Automatic Clearing at the time of GR

    Hi Experts
    In GRIR clearing account system automatically cleared open items when perform following entries:
    1. Entry at the time of GR
         Inventory A/C      Dr
         GRIR A/C          Cr
    2. Entry at the time of LIV
         GRIR A/C           Dr
         Vendor A/C          Cr
    When performing second entry system should automatically cleared open items but in my case it wonu2019t, when I go to FS10n and seeing the GRIR account system shows both debit and credit entries but they are still showing OPEN as red sign, although my balance in GL showing zero, due to this there is a long list of open item showing which is wrong, if any one have an idea please comment or share their valuable input.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards
    Ashfaq

    Hi Ashfaq,
    You should check the configuration that has been made for automatic clearing of the GR/IR account.  You can search for "automatic clearing" in SPRO or directly use transaction code OB74.
    Here you define as to based on which parameters F.13 will match the Dr. and Cr. and clear the same.
    You can also define and assign tolerances.  For eg if there is a small difference between the Dr and the Cr. you can tell the system to still clear these two items.
    Based on what you mention, I think you are confusing the postings here.  F.13 will not post anything on to the vendor account.
    Are you sure you ran F.13 not in test mode and in production mode?  Please check this to make sure the GL items have been cleared.
    Also when you run F.13, remove the flag from the vendor account.  In the selection parameters only provide the GR IR Account.

    Hi Nitin
    You have to follow all the steps mentioned in the Wrokflow menu path.You can set a payment block for accounting line items. Workflow enables you to carry out a check of individual line items and then requires a separate payment approval and release.
    In each WF variant  you can specify  the amount  from whicha payment release should  be checked. and the release group to be assigned in vendor master. you can also maintain 3 approval & release level for releasing payment block.
    If you dont want to triggere WF you can remove the assignemtn with company code and remove the release group in vendor master

    Hello,
    Just a thought, When I had the similar problem, it appeared to be a BOM (Byte order mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) in the xml file, which is the very first character in the xml file, so the file was not identified to be a valid xml file. Removing the BOM from the xml file fixed my problem, however, I did not spend much time in fixing using B2B, the vendor  (sender of the file) fixed the file and started sending without BOM. So my work was easier.
    The character is not visible in all XML editors, however, it was visible in JDeveloper. I used a tool to identify and remove during testing until the vendor fixed the file, the tool is called file bom detector,http://www.bryntyounce.com/filebomdetector.htm
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks,
    Venkatesh

  • UCS Shortcomings?

    I regularly hear a few specific arguments critiquing the UCS that I would like someone who knows the UCS ecosystem well to clarify before my organization adopts it.
    1. The Cisco UCS system is a totally proprietary and closed system, meaning:
         a) the Cisco UCS chassis cannot support other vendor’s blades.  For example, you can’t place an HP, IBM or Dell blade in a Cisco UCS  5100      chassis.
         b) The Cisco UCS can only be managed by the Cisco UCS manager – no 3rd party management tool can be leveraged.
         c) Two Cisco 6100 Fabric Interconnects can indeed support 320  server blades (40 chassis, as Cisco claims), but only with an unreasonable         amount of oversubscription. The more realistic number is two (2) 6100s for every four  (4) 5100 UCS chassis (32 servers), which will yield a more      reasonable oversubscription ratio of 4:1.
         d) A maximum of 14 UCS chassis can be managed by the UCS  manager, which resides in the 6100 Fabric Interconnects. This  creates islands of       management domains -- 14 chasses per island, which presents an interesting challenge if you indeed try to manage 40 UCS chassis (320 servers)        with the same pair of Fabric  Interconnects.
         e) The UCS blade servers can only use Cisco NIC cards (Palo).
         f) Cisco Palo cards use a proprietary version of interface virtualization and cannot support the open SR-IOV standard.
         g) The Cisco 5100 chassis can only be uplinked to the Fabric Interconnects, so any shop that already has ToR switches will have to replace them.
    I would really appreciate it if anyone can give me bulleted responses to these issues. I already posted this question on Brad Hedlund's web blog -- he really knows his stuff. But I know there are a lot of knowledgeable professionals on here, too.
    Thanks!

    Robert, thank you very much for those most informative answers. I really appreciate it.
    I have responded to your points in blue. Can you look them over right quick and give me your thoughts?
    Thanks, again!
           a) the Cisco UCS chassis cannot support other vendor’s blades.  For   example, you can’t place an HP, IBM or Dell blade in a Cisco UCS    5100      chassis.
    [Robert] - True.  This is standard in the industry.  You can't put IBM blades in an HP c7000 Chassis or vice-versa can you?
    I believe the Dell blade chassis can support blades from HP and IBM. I would have to double-check that.
         b) The Cisco UCS can only be managed by the Cisco UCS manager – no 3rd party management tool can be leveraged.
    [Robert]   - False.  UCS has a completely open API.  You can use any XML,  SMASH/CLP, IPMI, WS-MAN.  There are already applications that have  built-in support for UCS from vendors such as HP (OpenManage), IBM  (Tivoli), BMC Bladelogic, Altiris, Netcool etc.  There's even a  Microsoft SCOM plugin being deveoped. See here for more information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/ps10265/ps10281/ucs_manager_ecosystem.html
    This is very interesting. I had no idea that the Cisco UCS ecosystem can be managed by other vendor management solutions. Can a 3rd party platform be used in lieu of UCS manager (as opposed to just using 3rd party plug-ins) ? Just curious...
           c) Two Cisco 6100 Fabric Interconnects can indeed support 320  server   blades (40 chassis, as Cisco claims), but only with an   unreasonable         amount of oversubscription. The more realistic   number is two (2) 6100s for every four  (4) 5100 UCS chassis (32   servers), which will yield a more      reasonable oversubscription  ratio  of 4:1.
    [Robert]  Your oversubscription rate can vary from 2:1 all the way to 8:1  depending how many uplinks in use with the current IOM hardware.  With a  6120XP you can support "up to" 20 Chassis's (using single 10G uplinks  between Chassis and FI) assuming you're using the expansion slot for  your Ethernet & FC uplink connectivity.  You can support "up to" 40  Chassis using the 6140XP in the same regard.  Depending on your  bandwidth requirements you will might choose to scale this to at least 2  uplinks per IOM/Chassis (20GB redundant uplink). This would give you 2  uplinks from each Chassis to each Interconnect supporting a total of 80  servers with an oversubscription rate of 4:1. Choosing the  level of oversubscription requires an understanding of the underlying  technology - 10G FCoE. FCoE is a lossless technology which provides  greater efficiencies in data transmission than standard ethernet.  No  retransmissions & no dropped frames = higher performance &  efficiency.  Due to this efffciency you can allow for higher  oversubscription rates due to less chances of contention.  Of course  each environement is unique.  If you have some "really" high bandwidth  requirements you can increase the uplinks between the FI & Chassis.   For most customers we've found that 2 uplinks never becomes close to  saturated.  You best bet is to analyse/monitor the actual traffic and  decide what needs you require.
    Actually, I should have checked this out for myself. What I posted was preposterous and I should have spotted that right off the bat. And you should have hung me out to dry for it! :-) Correct me if I'm wrong, but two (2) 6140 FICs can handle A LOT more than just 4 UCS blade chassis, as I stated earlier. In fact, if a 4:1 OS ratio is desired (as in my question), two 6140 FICs can handle 20 UCS chassis, not 4. Each chassis will have 4 total uplinks to the 6140s - 2 uplinks per FEX per FIC. That equates to 160 servers.
    If 320 servers is desired, the OS ratio will have to go up to 8:1 - each chassis with 2 uplinks, one from each FEX to each FIC.
    Is all this about OS ratios correct?
           d) A maximum of 14 UCS chassis can be managed by the UCS  manager,   which resides in the 6100 Fabric Interconnects. This  creates islands   of  management domains -- 14 chasses per island, which presents an   interesting challenge if you indeed try to manage 40 UCS chassis (320   servers)        with the same pair of Fabric  Interconnects.
    [Robert]  False.  Since the release of UCS we have limited the # of Chassis  supported.  This is to ensure a controllable deployment in customer  environements.  With each version of software released we're increasing  that #.  The # of chassis is limited theoretically only by the # of  ports on the fabric interconnects (taking into account your uplink  configuration).  With the latest version 1.4, the supported chassis  count has been increased to 20.  Most customer are test driving UCS and  are not near this limiation.  For customers requiring more than this  about (or the full 40 Chassis limit) they can discuss this with their  Cisco Account manager for special consideration.
    It's  always funny how competators comment on "UCS Management Islands".  If  you look at the competition and take into consideration Chassis, KVM,  Console/iLO/RAC/DRAC, Ethernet Switch and Fiber Switch management  elements UCS has a fraction the amount of management points when scaling  to beyond hundreds of servers.  
    I understand. Makes sense.
         e) The UCS blade servers can only use Cisco NIC cards (Palo).
    [Robert]  False.  Any UCS blade server can use either a Emulex CNA, Qlogic CNA,  Intel 10G NIC, Broadcom 10G NIC or ... our own Virtual Interface Card -  aka Palo.  UCS offers a range of options to suite various customer  preferences.
    Interesting. I didnt know that.
         f) Cisco Palo cards use a proprietary version of interface virtualization and cannot support the open SR-IOV standard.
    [Robert]  Palo is SR-IOV capable.  Palo was designed originally to not be SR-IOV  dependent by design. This removes dependencies on the OS vendors to  provide driver support.  As we have control over this, Cisco can provide  the drivers for various OS's without relying on vendors to release  patch/driver updates.  Microsoft, Redhat and VMware have all been  certified to work with Palo. 
    Correct SR-IOV is a function of the NIC card and its drivers, but it does need support from the hypervisor. That having been said, can a non-Cisco NIC (perhaps one of the ones you mentiojned above) that supports SR-IOV be used with a Cisco blade server in the UCS chassis?
           g) The Cisco 5100 chassis can only be uplinked to the Fabric   Interconnects, so any shop that already has ToR switches will have to   replace them
    [Robert]  Not necessaryily true.  The Interconnects are just that - they  interconnect the Chassis to your Ethernet & FC networks. The FI's  act as your access switches for the blades which should connect into  your distribution/Core solely due to the 10G interfaces requirements.   I've seen people uplink UCS into a pair of Nexus 5000's which in turn  connect to their Data core 6500s/Nexus 7000s.  This doesn't mean you  can't reprovision or make use of ToR switches, you're just freeing up a  heap of ports that would be required to connect a legacy non-unified I/O  chassis.
    I understand what you mean, but if a client has a ToR design already in use, those ToRs must be ripped out. For example, lets say they had Brocade B-8000s at the ToR, it's not as if they can keep them in place and connect the UCS 5100 chassis to them. The 5100 needs the FICs.

  • RFFOIT_B - Italy Payment Advice is blank

    Hi,
    We are currently on a European Roll out.
    For Italy automatic payment program we are using RFFOIT_B, Dataset LIST3S.
    However, the payment advice form is trigerring, but it is just showing blank.
    Whereas, we have tested different payment advices in other languages. But, all the times, we used to get the payment advices.
    When it comes to Italy, we are struck up with this. We have debutted the above program with test data.
    Has anybody faced similar kind of issue.
    Any ideas will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    Hi,
    We have used BTE process 00002040 and this triggers an email through transaction code SOST.
    In other countries, when we are testing, if an email is triggered there will not be any SP02 (spool) for printing.
    But, in this case, it is misleadingly triggering both spool as well as mail (in case if I use mail). We have identified this.
    If we do not use any mail then the system will not triggering any mail.
    Solution: We have removed the email on the vendor master and it triggers payment advice.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Issue with trading partner

    Hi ,
    I have a issue with trading partner,
    While clearing the bank clearing account with bank main account user has got the below error
    "Consolidated companies ' ' are different"
    The issue is because u201CTrading Partneru201D, document number xxxx has the trading partner.
    I have given the below solution to client,
    Proposed solution:
    Reverse the payment & invoice documents
    Edit the vendor master data (Remove the trading partner from vendor master data)
    Re-post the invoice
    Do the payment document
    Now client does not want to revere the document, do we have any other way to do this?
    Regards,
    Sridhar

    Hi Sridhar,
    if you make wrong entry in VBUND, it is necessary to REVERSE the document first and re-post with the correct VBUND information.  BSEG-VBUND is one of the important organizational fields which should be managed in the same manner as company code, business area etc. These organizational fields cannot/should not be changed.
    Please refer to note 4152, which provides valuable information on why
    the error F5080 arises in your system.
    Also please consider the following points:
    There is also another note, 109925, which describes in detail the
    possibility to transfer, into all the line items, the trading partner.
    Use
    o  If you want the trading partner to be transferred to all line items,
        do NOT set this indicator.
    The System behaviour is the following one:
    1) Both indicators switched OFF:
    If a trading partner is maintained in G/L, vendor or customer master
    record, VBUND is copied to all document lines. VBUND is unique
    in FI-document.
    2) Indicator "Multiple companies" switched ON and indicator
    "Enter trading partner" switched OFF:
    The company ID (= trading partner) is not inherited to other items for
    document types that allow cross-company postings.
    3) Indicator "Multiple companies" switched ON and indicator
    "Enter trading partner" switched ON:
    You can enter a trading partner when posting to a G/L account and in
    the G/L master record, no trading partner is stored.
    In this case, the company ID specified manually is entered in all
    line items that not yet received a company code from the customer
    or vendor master record.
    Kind Regards,
    Mateus

  • [SOLVED] Intel driver is not loading.

    As you can see, i915 is not loaded for the VGA controller, even though it should be. I do a modprobe i915, in case for whatever reason udev can't seem to do it, run lspci -k and nothing changes. dmesg doesn't even seem to acknowledge that I did anything.
    Does the i915 driver not support this chipset? That seems highly unlikely.

    My computer on my signature is newer than yours and its supported.
    I guess there is a backlight issue on your computer. try removing nomodeset and append
    acpi_backlight=vendor
    to your kernel comand line. Tell us what u see.
