Hello together,
there is a field in table TKA01 to activate ALE-distruibution of Business-Processes => Field TKA01-XBPALE
My problem is that i don't know to get this field flagged.
Can anybody tell me to get this field flagged?
Kind regards
Udo

Hello Yoda,
Through SPRO IMG (<F5> key): Controlling -> Activity-Based Costing -> Activate Activity-Based Costing in Controlling Area
Or directly through OKKP transaction.
There you can find for each Controlling Area the way to activate the CO-ABC for the mentioned Controlling Area.
Hope it helps you.

ALE Distribution Model

Hi,
I've created an ALE distribution model to process the interface concerning Set Up HR and Accounting. Initialy we make it all and distribute it to the receiving system (FI) and it seems to be ok. After that the funcional team generate some movements and the IDOC's were generated but they were not sent to the FI system. We've a look at tRFC and an error concerning user or password invalid appears, so i define again the user comunication and after a few adjustments to the model view we distribute it again to the FI system. When i execute it the following message appears : Model view HRFI-CFP has not been updated / Rreason: Distribution model is currently being processed.

Next step we delete the model view and created it again but the same error still remains.
Can anyone help me ???
Thanks is advance.

Hi
Distribution Model A model that describes the ALE message flow between logical systems.
Applications and the ALE distribution service layer use the model to determine receivers and to control the data distribution. The relationships between logical systems, message types, BAPIs and filters are defined in the distribution model.
Ex: The screen shot depicts customer distribution mode ALE_TRNG_Mar07.
Sender Logical System EC1CLNT800
Receiver Logical System SALES
Message Type CREMAS
No filter conditions defined.
This configuration step allows the installation of core ALE features on which data transfer activity will be based.
In the distribution model you can specify the messages to be sent to a given logical system. You can also define the conditions for the content and dispatch of messages in the filters.
The distribution model consists of one or more views that you can define
After creating the distribution model the model needs to be distributed to the receiver system.
Partner profiles need to be generated in both sender and receiver systems using transaction BD82 (automatically) or WE20 (manually).

Which ALE business processes are available?

Hi All,
Which ALE business processes are available?
Regards,
Chanda.

ALE business processes are integrated business processes that run across distributed systems. This can be two different SAP systems, links between SAP and non-SAP systems, SAP and Web-servers (Internet Application Components) or SAP and desktop applications. The links between the systems may be loosely (asynchronous) or tightly (synchronous) coupled. These business processes are release independent and can run between different release levels of the systems.
Many SAP applications offer ALE distribution processes. The following list gives some examples:
Master data replication (IDoc Types - Message Types - Master Data)
- Material
- Customer
- Vendor
- General Ledger accounts
- Bill of materials
Accounting (IDoc Types - Message Types -Accounting Business Processes)
- Links to logistic systems
- Distributed financial accounting
- Distributed cost center accounting
- Distributed special ledger
- Profitability analysis
- Distributed profit center accounting
- Consolidation
- Treasury
Logistics(IDoc Types - Message Types - Logistics Business Processes)
- Reallocation of materials
- Distribution of sales and shipping
- Product data management
- Purchasing contracts
- Sales and operations planning
- Warehouse management
- Links to warehouse control systems
- Links to production optimization systems
- Links to transport planning systems
Information systems (IDoc Types - Message Types - Logistics Business Processes)
- SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW)
- Exchange of data between information systems
- Web reporting
Human resources (IDoc Types - Message Types - HR Business Processes)
- Human resources as a single component
- Payroll results
- Travel expense accounting
- Links to time collecting systems
However, these standard solutions may not fit 100% for a company. There may be differentiation in the business process or a required distributed business process is not supported in the standard. If this happens, ALE provides tools that can be used to adapt a standard ALE business process or to create a new distributed business process.
Hope this is will help.

ABC Costing - Business Process

I'm working in a matrix organization and we need allocate expenditures and revenue to a Process.
One Cost Center allocates expenditures to different Profit Center, in SAP a cost center is relationed with only Profit Center.
Therefore, I think in Business Process object of ABC Costing. Now I would like to know:
1. Can I use Business Process in all relevant transaction in SAP?
2. Can I assign revenues to a Business Process?
3. Can I get a Profit & Loss state by Business Process?
Thanks in advance.
José Luis

Hi,
in general follow the link to CO-ABC documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/7e/cb7d1443a311d189ee0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm
Your questions:
1: see the link above, if you use "integrated CO-ABC" yes. Business process can be used as a fully integrated cost object.
2: yes
3: in SAP standard no, it depends on your effort to assign each P&L posting to a business process (price difference postings, inventory differences,... they do not belong to a single business process in SAP standard).
Best regards, Christian

Business Process - Sales Process through Distribution point but revenue booked to Manufacturing Profit Center

Dear Expats
Our company now planning to decentralized the sales by introducing Sales distribution Point.
We have three manufacturing plant and every manufacturing plant are individual profit center.
Material is same.
Now company is planning to introducing sales distribution point.
Goods transfer from three manufacturing plant to sales distribution point and sale from the distribution point.
Now our requirement is - revenue will be booked to every manufacturing profit center.
How can we process this business process.
Note : We don't want to create separate material code - manufacturing plant wise.

Hi
I have the issue like..
1. For each line item of the sales order check, whether the profit center is filled or not, if it is not filled then determine the profit center and populate.
2. If material of the line item is "sub component code" of a material that is "Offering component code", then compare the profit centers of line item with the profit center maintained for the material that is offering component code. If the profit centers are different, replace the sales order line item profit center with the profit center of the offering component code material.
3. Above activities should happen when the sales order is saved.
can somebody tell me which user exit ?? where coding can be dine.

Any Sales Distribution Business Process Website or Material on internet??

As most of the forums posts are about the issues on system level.I think I have improved on the system level thorugh these forums but is there any info on internet about business processes and scenarios of different companies.
It ould be great if anyone can provide me links as business knowledge I guess is much more important than system knowledge as you can con

Hi Sam,
You really need to explore yourself on that. For example if you want to find out the processes in say Cement industry, just google in Cement sales process and you will get some of the industry standards, processes and so on. From there you can build on it. This has to be exploratory only and there is no standard set of processes for each industry. Though the common processes are there, variations are abundant.
Just get into help.sap.com and search for each verticals, you will get the process standards for every kind of industry SAP has IS on.

Distribution of Business Partner Data

I'm trying to determine the best method of distributing business partner data from R/3 to CRM via XI.
Under CRM 5.0 help for Distribution of Business Partner Data, there are two ways given for distributing business partner data.
1. Replication by means of the SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (XI).
2. Distribution via the ALE/IDoc interfaces.
Does anyone have an opinion on which method is best? Method 1 obviously goes through XI, but I'm not sure about method 2.
We won't be using CRM middleware, so that's not an option. We do need to implement XI.
Thanks for any advice you can provide on this subject.

Hi,
with ALE/IDOC you can also go for XI (for monitoring purposes, errror handling)

Down payment process for Poland, new business process or not ?

Hello,
I'm a little bit confused about implementation down payment process for Poland.
The OSS-notes 818079 and 1007635 describe a solution for this.
How do I have to implement the correct down payment process for Poland ? Do I have to create an extra business process with new sales order type, new billing type, separate calculation procedure, new output type and so on ?
Or is it possible to use existing business processes in sales and distribution for down payment processes ?
Thanks in advance
Holger

hi,
Check the process for down payment processing
The following Customizing settings have to be made for down payment processing:
Settings for the billing plan - To activate the billing plan function, maintain the materials, for which you wish to process down payments, with item category group 0005 (milestone billing). This gives the item type TAO via item type determination. The item type TAO calls up the billing plan function.
You need to implement the following activities in the billing plan for down payments:
Maintain deadline category - This determines the billing rule (percentage or value down payment) for the down payment request. The system assigns billing type FAZ (payment request) defined in the standard system with billing category P. (For the billing type FAZ there is the cancellation billing document type FAS in the standard system).
Maintain the deadline proposal - Use the down payments that are due for the proposed deadlines.
Maintaining a Pricing Procedure with the Condition Type AZWR:
In the standard system the condition type AZWR is delivered for the down payment value already provided but which has not yet been calculated. You must include this condition type in the relevant pricing procedure before output tax.
Enter condition 2 (item with pricing) and the calculation formula 48 (down payment clearing value must not be bigger than the item value) for the condition type AZWR.
Before the condition AZWR you can create a subtotal with the base value calculation formula 2 (net value). If the condition AZWR is changed manually, you can get information on the original system proposal from the subtotal.
Maintain the printing indicator - The pricing procedure can not be marked as a transaction-specific pricing procedure (field Spec.proc.) The condition type AZWR has the calculation type B (fixed amount) and the condition category E (down payment request / clearing).
Maintaining the Billing Document - In the standard system there is the billing type FAZ (down payment request) and the billing type FAS for canceling . The down payment is controlled using the billing category P of the billing type. A billing type becomes a down payment request when the billing category P is assigned. You have to maintain blocking reason 02 (complete confirmation missing) for the billing documents and assign it to billing type FAZ.
Copying control - Copying requirement 20 must be entered in copying control at item level for the down payment request. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type FAZ for the item category TAO.
Copying requirement 23 must be entered in copying control at item level for down payment clearing. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type F2 for the item category TAO.
Financial Accounting settings - A prerequisite for down payment processing is that the account is assigned to the underlying sales document. To do this, change the field status settings in Customizing as follows:
Set reconciliation accounts (transaction OBXR) - For the `received down payments' and `down payment requests' from
the G/L accounts you have selected, you should assign the field status definition G031.
Maintain accounting configuration (transaction OBXB) - For the down payments (posting key ANZ in the standard system) and the output tax clearing (posting key MVA in the standard system), you must maintain the posting key.
You must also carry out a G/L account number assignment for the tax account.
Maintain the posting key (transaction OB41) - For posting key 19, set the sales order as an optional field !!!
Maintain the field status definition (transaction OB14) - For field status variant 0001, field status group G031, set the
sales order as an optional field !!!
Assign the company code to the field status variants (transaction OBC5)

Inquiry - A customers request to a company that they provide a quotation or sales information without obligation. An inquiry can relate to materials or services, conditions and if necessary delivery dates. The sales area that accepts the inquiry becomes responsible for further processing.
Quotation - A quotation presents the customer with a legally binding offer for delivering a product or providing a service within certain fixed conditions. This offer is legally binding for the company within a specified time period. A sales area can reply to a customer inquiry with a customer quotation or use it to refer to a business partner contact.
Sales Order - Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time.
The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.
Create Delivery:a. Picking - The picking process involves taking goods from a storage location and staging the right quantity in a picking area where the goods will be prepared for shipping.
b. Packing - Packing is part of delivery- and shipment processing. When you process a delivery, you can select delivery items for packing and assign them to handling units (HUs).
c. Goods Issue - As soon as the goods leave the company, the shipping business activity is finished. This is illustrated using goods issue for outbound deliveries.
Billing - Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing.

ALE distribution of HR master data to CRM - subtype CELL and MAIL

Hello,
Overview/Introduction:
we are using the ALE distribution of HR master data to CRM. The distribution has already been set up and it is running. We know that the infotype communication (0105) is especially distributing the subtypes 0010 (e-Mail) and 0020 (telephone number). This e-Mail address and the telephone number are stored in the business partner in the CRM system.
For this infotype 0105 there are also the subtypes CELL (cell phone) and MAIL (e-Mail address). Unfortunately this cell phone number and the mail address (from subtype MAIL) are not stored at the business partner in CRM.
Our request is on the one hand to store the data from subtype CELL into the field mobile number of the business partner. And on the other hand we want to store the e-mail address of subtype MAIL at the business partner instead of subtype 0010.
For some reason it seems that these requests canu2019t be setup within SAP standard.
So we found SAP note 758426 which suggests to use the BAdI HRALEX_INBOUND and the report RH_ENHANCE_BP_TEMPLATE.
Problem:
Now the problem is that the BAdI does not get called! The BAdI is active! We tried to set break points -> unfortunately did not stop! And we also implemented an endless loop in the BAdI -> even with this the system did not u2018stopu2019!?
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Roman

Hi,
First you need to create a distribution model using transaction BD64 : Edit > Model View > create.
Then you will need to maintain fields for description and technical name. In partner box you need to enter the source system (HR) and the target system (FI) in the second field. Then you need to assign a message type and filter settings if you need it. You need to create this distribution model in source system (HR).
After, still in BD64, go to environment > change partner profile or transaction WE20
Select your target system and enter the corresponding message type ( HRMD_A or HRMD_ABA depends on your scenario) with the correct customizing (receiver port, packet size, idoc type, syntax check and output mode).
Then please do the same things in your source system using WE20 for your source system and define your inbound parameters (Process code HRMD, processing by function module : use trigger immediately if it is not a production system or else trigger by background program and this case you will need to run report RBDAPP01 to process Idocs).
Once done, then go back to your model view in your source system (BD64) and go to Environment > generate partner profiles. Then please go to Edit > Model View > distribute
After all these settings done, it should work.
Please also check out documentation :

ALE distribution error - 0 communication IDOC

Hello,
We are getting 0 communication IDOC generated for message type DOCMAS error for ALE document distribution error. Please advice where to look for the error.
Anirudh

hi,
ani,
u check this,
If you want work items to be created when errors occur for the purpose of error handling, you need to assign the standard task TS40007915 PCROLL to a position or a workflow organizational unit.
Or
You can also distribute dependent objects manually for classes. You can use report program RCCLDIHI to distribute a complete class hierarchy including all classes characteristics, and characteristic values.
Only the message code (004 - change) is allowed for sending a document (message type DOCMAS). This function also creates the document in the target system.
You can control the sending of documents with the indicator Distribution lock. An object with this indicator in its status will not be distributed into other ALE systems.
You can set the indicator in Customizing Document Management System  Define document type  Define status. The distribution lock is read when a distribution automatically starts after a change pointer is set or for an Integrated Distributed PDM Solution (ID PDM).
You can ignore this setting by starting the distribution manually. When you set the indicator Ignore distribution lock in the initial screen, then all documents will be distributed overriding the previously set status.
You control the distribution of object links with the indicator You cannot maintain the object links via ALE and Object link unchanged in target system.
Information about object links are distributed through IDoc type DOLMAS01.
The data is transferred to the workstation application and to storage data in IDoc type DOCMAS04 if an original file exists to a document. The Remote Function Call interface protocol transfers the contents of the original file, for example text or design drawing.
You can determine whether you want originals of a certain document type to be distributed by ALE into another system under the setting Document Management System  Define document type  Define transport of originals for ALE. You can control distribution with various criteria.
You want to distribute all original files of the application WRD (Microsoft Word) for the document type R-1 (report) that are stored in vault VAULT1 (Vault for Office Applications). You do not want to distribute documents of the same document type for the application WWI (Winword 6.0).
You can process the status for the desired objects.
1. Select in Customizing Cross Applications Components  Distribution (ALE)  Standard ALE Business Processes  Logistics  Master Data Distribution  Integrated Distributed PDM Solution (ID PDM)  Object status (for example, Define BOM status).
2. Process the indicator Distribution lock

ALE Distribution Lock

Hi all,
can anybody tell me what is ALE Distribution Lock ...
regards
sreedhar rusuma

Here is the documentation for ALE distribution lock
You determine whether you want an object, for example, a document, to be distributed via ALE into other systems by setting the status, for example, document status.
The indicator Distribution lock prevents an object, for example, a document, from being transported into an ALE system.
A change pointer is always set for the distribution lock during distribution even when sending within the ID PDM Solution. The system automatically creates a change indicator and a Master IDoc for distribution when you change a distribution relevant field, for example, status, for a message type, such as DOCMAS for documents.
It is possible to ignore the distribution lock when you send objects manually. In this case, the entire object is transported into the ALE system according to the distribution model.
Manual distribution is only of importance for change master records within the ID PDM system.
See also:
Change Master Record : IDoc Type ECMMAS01
Objects
You can control the ALE distribution for the following objects within ID PDM via the status:
Material
Characteristic
Class
BOM (material BOM, document structure)
Document
Object dependencies
Change master record
