Weigh Bridge Interface

Dear ABAPers,
I am in Cement Implementation Project and they asked for an interface between ERP and Weigh Bridge in SD cycle .
Kindly could anyone tell me how can i start with this task? or can anyone provide methodology for performing this interface?
Thanks

Do you have a process controlling the gate, identifying the truck, and collection two weigh-tickets empty/loaded from teh weighbridge?
If so we have an integrated solution to collect all relevant documents (weigh tickets, delivery sheet, truck identification, even photo), outside SAP, and when all is complete send it as one object on-line to the SAP screen for entry validation. This way you get two important benefits: No SAP load for programming and server load, robustness.
Have a look at [SIP Ltd > solutions ISEC|http://www.sip.com.gr:8081/triboni/exec/x/gr.sip.site.display/xsl/display/displayChapter/solutions/displaySubChapter/ISEC/page/chapter.html] the Integrated Services ERP Connector does this exactly. Its a separate server communication directly with SAP. This way the whole process of weighing and making the invoice is off line, easy parametrizable, and on-line with the SD.
Hope this info helped

  • Interfacing of weigh bridge to SAP system

    hi guy's,
    our client receiving the raw material by the trucks,  so they required the interfacing the weigh bridge to  std SAP system. plz light on this scenario,
    thanks in advance
    mohan.m

    Hi,
    Hope your scenario is that you are ordering raw material from a vendor and transporting the raw material ,you have a transport vendor.Once the raw material unloaded in the factory,immediately you have to pay to the transport vendor(Truck) and later based on the payment term you will pay the payment to your raw material vendor.
    1.Create material: MM01,
    2.Create Raw material Vendor: XK01,
    3.Create Transport Vendor: XK01,
    4.For Aumatic Pricing Create Calculation Schema and mataioning the Condition type for Material price,Discount, Taxes and Freight chages .
    5.Create PO(ME21N) Ordering material to Raw Material Vendor and come to Condition Details.In the Condition Details , select Frieght Condition type and assign to Fright Vendor.
    6.Now Go for Goods Receipt with MIGO with Movement type101
    7.Now immediately you have to pay to Feieght Vendor, so do Invoice Verification For Fright Vendor.Go to T.Code: MIRO and Select planned Deliver Cost and do the Invoice Veification.
    8.Now go to T.Code:F-53 and pay to Fright Vendor,
    9.Later you can go Invoice verification for raw material for selecting Goods/Service item
    10.F-53: pay to raw material Vendor.
    Hope the above will be helpful.
    If helpful then reward and close the thread.

  • Weigh Scale Interface with SAP

    Hello,
    Can anybody please tell me how to Interface the Weih bridge With SAP Inventory Management. The requirement is that the Truck will be weighed at the Weigh Bridge, first when it is Loaded with the Material and then it will be again weighed at another weighbride when it is empty. We have to get the Net weight of the Material and create an Inbound Delivery against the Purchase Order.
    Please let me know your thoughts on this.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Himanshu.

    Hi,
    to create an inbound delivery you need:
    Purchase order
    material number
    so you can create it like this:
    1. create a table that will contain "process delivery"
    2. create an interface (mobile, sapgui, anything) that will
    create an entry to this table - with material number and PO number
    3. when the Weigh will send any info XI (or any other middleware)
    can look up this table for PO and matnr and send an inbound delivery to SAP
    to see how to create delivery IDOCs:

  • What is the Weigh Bridge System and How to Implement

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement from a client to interface with Weigh Bridge systen and to generate the delivery order record.
    Could someone explain to me what is the Weigh Bridge system and how it is being implemented in SAP.
    Thank you!
    Regards,
    Yvonne

    Hi,
    this is to inform you that,
    this weigh bridge concept is very simple its an interface with other or software which the company which is implementing SAP.
    for EG:
    my company is cement company in production plant you will be getting raw materials in tons and out going finished products will also be in tons.
    in that plant there is weigh bridge where in flow of materials will be wieghed and if it matches to the paper which is getting along with then he ticks OK other wise NOT.
    the above case applies to out going of goods in tons also.

  • We want to read data from weigh bridge and display in oracle forms & store

    Sir/Madam,
    in our organisation we had one requirement. i.e is reading data from weigh bridge using serial port, displying that data in oracle forms and when ever user click save button we store that into my oracle database. we are using oracle 8i and forms 6i and windows OS environment. we don't know reading data from serial port and placing that into form items. please help me as early as possible if there is any property available in d2k regarding this requirement .
    thank you,
    vishnu

    There's no property in Forms that makes you read serial ports, but as far as I know you need to know the API of the machine which you want to read data from (it should come with machine's manual) and then it will be easy to store it in forms item.

  • Weighing scale interface with SAP PI sheet

    Dear all,
    I have questions related to SAP and weighing scale interface and PI sheet handling, seek for expert advise.
    As project rquirement we have to implement integration of weighing scale with SAP ECC 6.0
    We have used the ERP scale pocket program to make hardware and communication with scale, in SAP did configuration to communicate with pocket program, created a new RFC and made config on Packing profile,
    We dont want to  use the packing station code HUPAST
    Instead planned to call weighing from PI sheet,hence planned to use dynamic function call on PI sheet  with modified function module which calls HU_GET_RFC_DATA (fm of HUPAST), is it right approach?
    Can we call multiple time dynamic functional call from PI sheet, earlier i tried with some other functional module, i get variable lock and ready only error when processing second material. I believe its a variable issue of dynamic function call on PI sheet. How can i resolve it?
    Thanks and regards
    Vijay

    The main benefits of using SAPODA are:
    - Direct integration with PI sheets using configuration only without the need for custom developments
    - Using ERP-Scale you can trigger processes in SAP automatically when the weight on the weigh scale changes. SAP ODA provides data subscriptions which ERP-Scale fully supports and uses a call-back into SAP to execute functions in SAP.
    SAP ODA will be supported in release V3.0.7 of ERP-Scale which will be released soon.
    The reading issues you are seeing with the PI-Sheet might be caused by incorrect communication settings causing errors in the data flow between the weigh-scale and ERP-Scale. Please contact us [here|http://www.en.pocketprograms.com/contact.aspx] so we can investigate further.
    Also, are you testing using a trial licence. if not you can apply for a trial licence free of charge from our [web-shop|http://pocketprograms.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=34].

  • Reading Weight from Weigh Bridge....

    Hi.
    The scenario here is that we have to create module pool for picking up
    the weights of trucks from weigh bridge ( AVERY brand ).
    The existing system is in foxpro . Please find attached the text of AVERY guidance which exhaustively shows how the fox system is reading the
    weight from the port, to which the weigh bridge is attached, on the
    system kept at the location.
    I wish to have the info regarding how, this functionality can be
    achieved in ABAP as my perception is that this is not a simple
    execution / run of an external program.
    regards,
    Suman
    TEXT
    getwt.prg
    sample weight recieving program for Avery CTH
    this is demo program for getting weight from the CTH
    using the CALL and LOAD commands of dBASE III PLUS only.
    This demo program demonstrates the use of LOAD and CALL commands
    of dBASE III PLUS to get the weight from the CTH. The actual
    program to get the weight is a file called GETCTH.BIN
    To use GETCTH.BIN directly do the following:
       1. Start dBASE III PLUS normally.
       2. Type the command - LOAD GETCTH at the dot prompt of dBASE III PLUS.
          (Be sure to give the correct drive and/or directory where the
           file GETCTH.BIN resides in your computer system).
       3. The program GETCTH.BIN will return the weight in a variable
          passed from dBASE III PLUS, so first initialize a variable in
          dBASE III PLUS to recieve the weight.
          The weight string returned by the CTH is 26 charecters long so
          define a variable of length 26 by typing the following command
          at the dot prompt:
          WEIGHT = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"   { Any dummy value }
                                or
          WEIGHT = "2BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"   for COM2 port
          ( Note -> The choice for the name of the above variable is
                    purely arbitrary. Any name could have been chosen)
       4. Next type the following command at the dot prompt to call the
          GETCTH function :
          CALL GETCTH WITH WEIGHT
       5. After some time the dot prompt will return. At the dot prompt
          type the following :
          ? WEIGHT
          If the GETCTH function has been successfull in getting the weight
          from the CTH then this function will return the weight as a string
          of 26 charecters containing the weight and other information.
          Otherwise, if the function is not successfull then the value of
          the variable passed will be set to 26 spaces. The major reason
          for the failure of the function will be a timeout error i.e.
          the CTH did not respond after a preset time interval had elasped.
          The returning of 26 spaces makes it easy for a dBASE III PLUS
          program to retry the weighing operation if failure is detected.
          The use of this in a loop till the function succeeds in getting
          a weight is illustrated below in the program.
          The weight returned by the CTH consists of a string of 26 charecters
          A sample weight that could be returned is reproduced below:
          ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
            19600 kg    G 000016 O
          The following is the sequence of charecters :
          1. The first two charecters ( positions A - B above ) are
             space charecters.
          2. The next five charecters ( positions C - G above ) is the
             weight from the CTH - ( 19600 in this case).
          3. The next charecter ( position H above ) is a space charecter.
          4. The next two charecters ( positions I - J above ) are the weight
             units - ( kg in this case ).
          5. The next four charecters ( positions K - N above ) are space
             space charecters.
          6. The next charecter ( position O above ) specifies mode of
             operation. It shows 'G' for Gross mode and 'T' for Tare
             mode of operation.
          7. The next charecter ( position P above ) is a space charecter.
          8. The next six charecters ( positions Q - V above ) is the
             consecutive number which is unique for each weighing.
          9. The next charecter ( position W above ) is a space charecter.
         10. The next charecter ( position X above ) is the machine ID number.
         11. The last two charecters ( positions Y - Z above ) are
             Carriage return and Line feed charecters.

    As explained above the last two charecters of the weight string
    are the Carriage return (CR) and the Line feed (LF) charecters
    out of the total of 26 charecters of the weight string. So to get
    the whole weight string other than these last two chareceters we
    can use the SUBSTR command of dBASE III PLUS as follows :-
      @ 14,20 say "The weight is : " + substr(weight,1,24)
    This will show the whole weight string on the screen i.e. all
    24 charecters ( it will not show the CR and the LF charecters ).
    The CR and the LF charecters are as it is unprintable charecters
    and will show up as control charecters if printed on the screen.
    If the whole weight string is not required and only, say, the
    weight and the weight units are required, then the following command
    could be used :-
    @ 14,20 say "The weight is : " + substr(weight,1,10)
    This will show the weight value and the weight units (this substring
    will include the embedded space charecters in this susbtring).
    Similarly, other parameters from the weight string could be
    incorporated, if required, from the whole string to enhance
    the weighing process on the computer.
    The idea of putting the CALL statement above in a loop is that
    sometimes due to unavoidable reasons, there may some garbage
    charecters on the serial port. Thus it may be necessary to flush these
    charecters from the port by CALLing the function again.
    Sometimes, the function may return without a timeout error but the
    variable may contain some control charecters which do not make sense.
    In this case the function should called repeatedly till the proper
    charecters are returned. This occurs due to the reason explained
    above.

  • RIGHT SIDE OF BRIDGE INTERFACE "FADED OUT"

    I just upgraded from CS5 to CS6, and I get a "strange" occurrence in which a portion of the right side of the Bridge interface, where 2/3s of  the area of the METADATA/KEYWORDS are no longer visible, & the Window or Page "under" it shows through.
    EXAMPLE:  In Photoshop, the lower, right half of my interface has the History Palette.  When I "switch" to Bridge, though the Preview "Window" in the top right remains in tact, the Photoshop History Pallete is "covering" the right 2\3s of the METADATA panel.
    It occurs with any "page" below the Bridge interface; for example with the Bridge Forum web page open, the portiion that depicts "Top Participants" etc. covers the Bridge METADATA panel.
    I tried taking a screen shot but the problem "went away" in the screen shot interface.

    Selecting "NEW SYNCHRONIZED WINDOW" has apparently fixed the problem, but can't help but wonder why it happens at all.
