Activity System status: differences between u0093Openu0094 and u0093In processu0094 status

Dear Experts,
What’s the difference between “Open” and “In process” system status? In help.sap.com it: “There are four system statuses that represent the life cycle of the business transaction:
• Open: has been recently created and not yet processed (for example, contract from the Internet)
• In process: administrator is clearing up questions”
But, how does the system assumes the “In Process” status ?? I‘ve tested business activities creation with different employees assigned and, when editing and saving the business activities with these BP’s the system status does not change.
However, in other “unknown” situations the status system is changed to “in Process”.
Any ideas about the meaning of the “In Process” status? And when the business activity switches to that?
Thanks in advance,
Joao

Hi,
These four system statuses that represent the life cycle of the business transaction:
·        Open: has been recently created and not yet processed (for example, contract from the Internet)
·        In process: administrator is clearing up questions
·        Released: contract is complete and legal. Follow-up processes can be started (printing, billing, distribution, releases and so on)
·        Completed: All actions directly linked to contract are completed
·        Closed: all actions indirectly linked to the contract are closed (for example, from R/3: batch run to actual costs)
Each status having its own control at the configuration level. If you observe the following process you may understand the importance of various statuses.
For example in any transaction by default status would be Open. Once the transaction opened by the respective responsible person he will change the status as In Process, Once the assigned task is completed he will change the status as Completed.
Please notice the configuration settings in the following navigation path:
SPRO->IMG->CRM->Transactions->Basic Functions->Status Management-> Change Status Profile for User Status->Select Quotation->Double click on the different status. You can observe the difference.
Hope I convinced.
Best Regards,
Johnny.

  • Setting system properties: difference between "-D" and "System.setProperty"

    Hi.
    I have a program that relies on the jogl library to display graphics. Internally, jogl loads a native library from disk, with a System.loadLibrary() call. In turn, loadLibrary searches the paths in the system property "java.library.path" to find the jogl DLL/SO files. So, it is my responsibility to ensure that the "java.library.path" property is correctly set.
    There are two ways that I know of to set system properties: as an argument to the JRE via the "-D" option and from within an application with the System.setProperty method. However, I have noticed that only the former gives the desired behavior. That is, if I do:
    java -Djava.library.path=lib MyProgram{code}
    the code in jogl.jar is able to successfully find and load the native libraries in lib/, but if I do:
    {code:java}System.setProperty("java.library.path", "lib");{code}
    at the beginning of main in my program (before the classes requiring jogl are loaded), I end up with an UnsatisfiedLinkError.
    Why does this happen? Why do the 2 methods produce different results? Is specifying native library paths on the command line the only way to ensure that they are found?

  • Difference between standard and actual activity rates

    Dear All,
    My client is having a process in which while downloading KOB1 the system is giving report of all the process orders wise  activities confirmed in that month against some cost center.
    Now when i am going into line item it takes me to process order confirmation display where activiies to be confirmed and activities yet to be confirmed are displayed.
    After that cost center report S_alr_87013611 is displayed wherein actual rates(quantity ) is displayed for that activities.
    Now the system shows difference between actual and standard activities.
    The difference is the calculated in excel on the basis of KOB1 report and difference is loaded process order wise  on calculation done in excel through LSMW (for transaction KB21n) wherein difference quantity is posted from cost center to process order.
    Now client needs automation in the sense that no excel calculation should be done and difference should be posted for that month for each process order in the ratio calculated in excel.
    Kindly provide any solutions if any, avaliable in standard or Z development has to be done.
    Thanks and Regards,
    VLM

    Dear AP,
    Have you any idea about how in above case Z development is to be done?

  • What are the differences between inactive and active ABAP objects?

    Can anybody tell me what are the differences between inactive and active ABAP objects?
    In my opinion,  an active object is compiled and system wide available, that means the system do not have to compile the program again before run or use the object. While An inactive object is not system wide available and every time you run an inactive object, firstly the abap runtime will have to  generate a tempory runtime object and this inactive object can not seen by others.
    Am I right? Can anybody kindly tell me other differences?

    Hi,
    "When it is inactive, it is like it would not exist at all:" no - it's like it only exists to you
    "If we just saved that one means it is stored in application server not in database": no - the inactive version is also stored in the database. You can log off and log on and it will still be there, in its inactive status.
    "Only active objects can be executed.": no - inactive objects can be executed by you
    When you create or modify a program, it is inactive until you activate it.
    With a change, there are two versions of the program stored in the database - the active version (as it was before you made your change), and the inactive version. If you attempt to run the program, you'll run the inactive version - the one with your changes. Everyone else on the system will run the active version.
    In this way, you can make changes without affecting anyone else.
    Once you activate your program, then the inactive version becomes the active version.
    With a create, there is no active version, until you hit the activate button. This means ONLY you can run the program.
    An additional benefit of this model, is that if you make a change, save it, and then change your mind without activating, you can recover the active version into the editor, using version management.
    A downside is that sometimes you have to activate your change before you can test it, if it interacts with other, active, programs.

  • Differences Between Object And System Privileges

    Hi,
    Whats the difference between object and system privileges in oracle?
    Cheers
    Paul

    System Privileges
    A system privilege is the right to perform a particular action, or to perform an action on any schema objects of a particular type. For example, the privileges to create tablespaces and to delete the rows of any table in a database are system privileges.
    Schema Object Privileges
    A schema object privilege is a privilege or right to perform a particular action on a specific schema object:
    For example, the privilege to delete rows from the departments table is an object privilege.
    Some schema objects, such as clusters, indexes, triggers, and database links, do not have associated object privileges. Their use is controlled with system privileges. For example, to alter a cluster, a user must own the cluster or have the ALTER ANY CLUSTER system privilege.
    A schema object and its synonym are equivalent with respect to privileges. That is, the object privileges granted for a table, view, sequence, procedure, function, or package apply whether referencing the base object by name or using a synonym.
    Granting object privileges on a table, view, sequence, procedure, function, or package to a synonym for the object has the same effect as if no synonym were used. When a synonym is dropped, all grants for the underlying schema object remain in effect, even if the privileges were granted by specifying the dropped synonym.

  • Difference between SYS and SYSTEM user

    Hi,
    Well, one of my colleagues have asked me the difference between SYS and SYSTEM user .. Normally these are the users which will be under the monitoring of the DBA .. So, how could I know the difference between these two users ..
    Please assist me
    Regards

    SYS is the owner of the database and the owner of the data dictionary.
    The objects belonging to SYS cannot be exported. But SYS has the SYSDBA privilege which SYSTEM doesn't.
    SYSTEM is a privileged administration user, and typically owns Oracle provided tables other than the dictionary.
    SYSDBA is not a role, it is a privilege. You'll find it in system_privilege_map, not in dba_roles.

  • Difference between BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP reports

    Could someone explain in simple way what is the difference between BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP reports? I have read the differences in standard documentation but it is a little confusing.
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Madhur

    Hi
    CLEAN_REQREQ_UP (Cleaner Job)
    You can use this function for document types Shopping cart, (Local) Purchase Order, Confirmation, and Invoice to trigger a synchronization with the associated documents in the back-end system. The system checks whether and how the (follow-on) documents were posted in the back end, and updates the object link and references, as well as the document status.
    A job (background processing) is generated for the program CLEAN_REQREQ_UP. When this is run, the system queries a database table containing the transfer information of the documents to the back end. The entries are checked with the data of the respective back-end systems. If the back-end transfer is successful, the respective entries are deleted and the prerequisites for further processing are created.
    BBP_GET_STATUS2 (Status Job)
    The status job was created by SAP to update the EBP system with data such as purchase requisition number, purchase order number, goods received or invoices recorded manually in R/3, etc. The report should not be run on a frequent basis at short intervals unless the order count from EBP to R/3 is not that high. Otherwise, a recommended interval for running the report is approximately every hour. Basically the schedule times depend on your business requirements.
    Until this job runs, the user will not see the number of the backend document created in R/3 for a particular shopping cart in the history tab of the check status transaction.
    Some more information :
    Go to:
    SPRO->IMG->Integration with Other SAP components->Advanced Planning and
    Optimization->basic Settings for the Data Transfer->Change Transfer->
    change Transfer for Transaction Data->Active Online Transfer using BTE
    Here you should maintain the application 'SRMNTY' with active flag.
    Once this customizing is enabled, whenever a follow-on document
    (either confirmation or invoice) for an extended classic PO is created
    in the backend R/3 system, the R/3 system communicates to the SRM system
    by creating an entry in the table BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB for this PO.
    The item level of the SRM PO has fields to store the actual quantity
    and values entered for the corresponding confirmations and invoices.
    After that, run the reports CLEAN_REQREQ_UP and BBP_GET_STATUS_2.
    When the report CLEAN_REQREQ_UP runs this will update the
    PO with statistical information. With the latest information in
    BBP_PDIGP table (statistical information) the query should work fine.

  • Differences between assets and G/L accts

    Differences between assets and G/L accts in the balance carried forward
    Message no. MQ 555
    Diagnosis
    Differences occurred in the balance carried forward when comparing asset summary records and G/L accounts.
    Procedure
    Using program RFEWSBAL, select the accounts for which differences occurred. To do this, proceed as follows:
    1. Changeover package: Active package
    Phase: ANALYZE
    Origin of change: AS
    Proceed
    1. Analyze the accounts containing errors using note 104567.
    If the document number field contains the entry "W004", this means that although a difference exists in the balance carried forward, this difference was charged off at the key date. Following local currency changeover, the system adjusts the currency differences at the key date only, but not in the balance carried forward.
    If the entry "W004" exists for all affected accounts, the status is set to warning instead of error. If the correction at key date described above proves sufficient, you can continue changing over the local currency without additional adjustments in the previous year.
    However, SAP does recommend that you make corrections in the previous year in line with note 104567 since this ensures that the balance carried forward is also reconciled.

    Hello,
    There 2 t codes ABST and ABST2.

  • Difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

    Hi,
    Can any one tell me the difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

    Hi,
    Actually OK_CODE and SY-Ucomm are the same. But experts suggest use of OK code for following reason:
    In each PAI event that a user triggers by choosing either a pushbutton on the screen or an element in a GUI status, the corresponding function code is placed into the system field SYST-UCOMM or SY-UCOMM and placed in the OK_CODE field (as long as the function code is not empty). Empty function codes are placed in neither the SY-UCOMM field nor the OK_CODE field.
    In your ABAP programs, you should work with the OK_CODE field instead of SY-UCOMM. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, the ABAP program has full control over fields declared within it, and secondly, you should never change the value of an ABAP system field. However, you should also always initialize the OK_CODE field in an ABAP program for the following reason:
    In the same way that the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program and the system field SY-UCOMM receive the contents of the corresponding screen fields in the PAI event, their contents are also assigned to the OK_CODE screen field and system field SYST-UCOMM in the PBO event. Therefore, you must clear the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program to ensure that the function code of a screen is not already filled in the PBO event with an unwanted value. This is particularly important when the next PAI event can be triggered with an empty function code (for example, using ENTER). Empty function codes do not affect SY-UCOMM or the OK_CODE field, and consequently, the old field contents are transported.

  • Differences between LSMW and BDC

    Hi All
    Please can you give me the few points about the differences between LSMW and BDC?
    Awaiting for your Responce
    Praveen

    Hai Check with the following document
    GOOD
    THERE IS THREE TYPE OF METHOD IN BDC
    BDC SESSION
    CALL TRANSACTION
    CALL DIALOG
    What is BDC or batch input
    The Batch Input is a SAP technic that allows automating the input in transactions. It lies on a BDC (Batch Data Commands) scenario.
    BDC functions:
    · BDC_OPEN_GROUP : Opens a session group
    · BDC_CLOSE_GROUP : Closes a session
    · BDC_INSERT : Insert a BDC scenario in the session
    · The ABAP statement "CALL TRANSACTION" is also called to run directly a transaction from its BDC table.
    It runs the program RSBDCSUB in order to launch automatically the session. The session management is done through the transaction code SM35.
    The object itself is maintanable through the transaction SE24.
    BDC methods:
    Method
    Description
    Parameters
    OPEN_SESSION
    Opens a session
    SUBRC (Return Code – 0 OK)
    SESSIONNAME (Session to be created)
    CLOSE_SESSION
    Closes a session
    None
    RESET_BDCDATA
    Resets the BDC Internal Table...
    None. Normally, for internal purpose…
    BDC_DYNPRO
    Handles a new screen
    PROGNAME (Name of the program)
    DYNPRONR (Screen Number)
    BDC_FIELD
    Puts a value on the screen
    FIELDNAME (Name of the field)
    FIELDVALUE (Value to be passed)
    CONSTRUCTOR
    Constructor - Initializes NO_DATA
    NODATA (No data character). The constructor is called automatically when the object is created.
    RUN_SESSION
    Launches a session with RSBDCBTC
    None
    CALL_TRANSACTION
    Calls a transaction with the current BDC Data
    MODE (Display Mode)
    UPDATE (Update Mode)
    TCODE (Transaction to be called)
    BDC_INSERT
    Inserts the BDC scenario in the session
    TCODE (Transaction to be called)
    BDC techniques used in programs:
    1) Building a BDC table and calling a transaction,
    2) Building a session and a set of BDC scenarios and keeping the session available in SM35,
    3) Building a session and lauching the transaction right after closing the session.
    BDC using Call Transaction
    BDC using Call transaction involves calling an SAP transaction in back ground from within the ABAP
    program. The process involves building an Internal BDC table containing the screen information needed to
    execute the required transaction and then passing this to the Call transaction command (See code example).
    The full procedure for creating a BDC program is as follows:
    What is the difference between batch input and call transaction in BDC?
    Session method.
    1) synchronous processing.
    2) can tranfer large amount of data.
    3) processing is slower.
    4) error log is created
    5) data is not updated until session is processed.
    Call transaction.
    1) asynchronous processing
    2) can transfer small amount of data
    3) processing is faster.
    4) errors need to be handled explicitly
    5) data is updated automatically
    BATINPUT/DIRECT INPUT
    A: Batch-inputs can not be used to fill the "delivery due list" screen because it is not a dynpro. This is a standard SAP report. A SAP report (check with "System -> Status") may be called using SUBMIT sentence with the appropriate options . It is preferred to call a report than create a Batch-input program.

  • Differences between BDC and LSMW

    Hello SAP Gurus,
    Kindly let me know the various differences between BDC and LSMW.
    Also, please tell me the STEPS of the CUT-OVER PLANNING (Shifting of Data from the Legacy System to the SAP System). Here, the "Data" means which data? Please explain in details.
    Looking for your early feedback.
    Regards,
    Kaushik.

    Hi,
    BDC- It is Batch data communication. Its used for data conversion from legacy system to SAP system. Only technical people can do it. Tcode is SHDB.
    LSMW- It is legacy system migration workbench. Its also used for data conversion from legacy system to SAP system. But it is role of functional consultant. 
    There are 14 steps in LSMW. As soon as you complete the one step, automatically it will go to next step.
    In general you can use LSMW. But if you want to transfer more than 40,000 data, then it is not possible in LSMW. That time you can take help of BDC.
    Cutover strategy depends upon how the organizations design their data load strategies. Normally, you decide the sequence of Data loads for Configuration  settings, Master data, Transaction data which follows whom and then you make a copy of the system as a  Production system a day before and after checking the successful data loads, you go-live 100% or partial again  depending upon organizational setup and policies.
    Cutover planning is highly site specific. There's no thumb rule. The stock data as on the date of going live should be correctly entered. But stock being a highly dynamic quantity, the strategy for loading should be crystal clear. Then you have to load all the back dated transaction on the stock. Some stock comes into your plant/storage location as return and some stock is actually delivered to your customer through sales orders of various kinds.

  • Difference between open_form and start_form

    difference between open_form and start_form?

    hi,
    Any driver program must contain Open_Form, Close_Form and Write_Form. Other function modules are optional.
    OPEN_FORM: This function module opens layout set printing. One must call this function module before he uses any of other layout set function modules like Write_Form, Start_Form, Control_Form etc., You need specify a layout set name in the export parameters of this function module. If nothing is passed to Open_Form then one should use Start_Form function module to open layout set before starting the output. The layout set opened by Open_Form should be closed by Close_Form function module, other wise output doesn’t appear. We can use any number of Open_Form, Close_Form functions in one single program. But Close_Form must be there for every Open_Form in the program.
    Some of the important export parameters we have to pass to Open_Form function module.
    Form: Enter the Layout set name here, which then controls the output formatting. If nothing is specified then we must use Start_Form for opening layout set.
    Language: Layout sets are Language dependent. Enter the desired language here. If the entered layout set is not in that language, then the function tries to open the Form entered in its original language. The default value is SY-LANGU.
    Device: SAP Script can format a text on different device types. The device can be ‘PRINTER’ or ‘TELEX’, ‘TELEFAX’, ’ABAP’ and ‘SCREEN’.
    Dialog: Use parameter DIALOG to determine whether to display a dialog box before printing, in which the user can set several spool parameters for print formatting. Possible values: SPACE displays no print parameter screen. 'X' display print parameter screen. Default value: 'X'
    Options: Use parameter OPTIONS to set several options for print formatting. The parameter has the structure ITCPO. The user can change some of the defined settings on the print control screen. The default value for Options is ‘ ‘. We will discuss about ITCPO structure in detail later.
    Other Export, Import and Exceptions are self-explanatory.
    Start_Form: In-between the function modules OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM, we can use different layout sets. This allows us to combine several different layout sets into one print output. However, we can combine only those layout sets that have the same page format. To switch layout sets, use the function module START_FORM. If another layout set is still open, we must close it first using END_FORM. If we specify no layout set name when calling START_FORM, the system restarts the last open layout set. If after OPEN_FORM no layout set was activated yet, the system leaves the function module with the exception UNUSED. Some of the important export parameters for this function module are
    Form: The parameter contains the name of the layout set you want to use for printing. If you specify no layout set here, the system restarts the last active layout set.
    Language: Layout sets are language-dependent. Enter the desired language here. If the layout set does not exist in this language, the system tries to call the layout set in its original language. If the parameter LANGUAGE is empty, the system uses the language of the last active layout set.
    Startpage: Usually, SAP script starts with the page specified as start page in the layout set definition. If we want to start output with another layout set page, enter the name of the desired layout set page here. If the desired page is not defined, the system uses the start page defined in the layout set.
    Program: To replace program symbols, SAP script must know which active program contains the work areas for the values to be passed. If we omit the parameter, the system searches for the field values in the program that was specified in the parameter OPTIONS (field TDPROGRAM) of OPEN_FORM. If we enter a program name, the system replaces the program symbols with the values from this program up to the next END_FORM.
    Exceptions and other Export, Import parameters are self-explanatory.

  • What are the differences between tracing and hierarchical profiler?

    There are many terms used by people, I am just wondering what are the differences between tracing and hierarchical profiler? Aren't they the same thing?
    Thanks a lot.

    Instrumentation and tracing are two different things; in fact they belong to two different categories - one's a thing the other's an activity.
    Tracing is following the execution path of a program. Tracing shows us the the calls a program makes, perhaps the internal choices it makes (ifs and whiles), exceptions thrown, etc,
    Instrumentation is code we build into our program to produce a record of its status. There are different techniques, from using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO calls to monitor status to writing log tables or files. Instrumentation can be used to generate a trace; it can do profiling; it can provide information reports on outputs and exceptions.
    In my opinion DBMS_TRACE and DBMS_HPROF are not instrumentation, because they are external to the program under investigation, rather than built into it. However, there is an obvious overlap between the insight they provide and what we might do with our own logging.
    Cheers, APC

  • Differences between APO and R3 sysytem.

    Hi everybody,
                        Can anyone list out the differences between the APO system and the R3 system.A detailed explanation will be helpful.

    Hi,
    APO
    APO is the supply chain tool from SAP.
    BW is the data layer for APO.
    SAP APO is for Demand Planning and is a component of mySAP SCM. It enables dynamic supply chain management and which in turn includes applications for detailed planning, optimization and scheduling, allowing the supply chain to be accurately and globally monitored even beyond enterprise boundaries.
    SAP BI is a reporting tool in SAP. It provides a complete view of the company. The solution is part of SAP NetWeaver and provides the tools needed to make the right decisions, optimize processes, and measure strategic success: data from all enterprise sources are merged effectively and can be comprehensively analyzed, business-critical factors can be monitored using external and internal benchmarks, the most important KPIs can be passed on to all the relevant forces in a company in real time, strategies can be rapidly adapted to changed market conditions, and the results of analyses can be graphically represented in a wide variety of formats, such as grids, graphs, and maps
    Check this:
    What is APO and how it is related to BW
    SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer is a component of the mySAP Supply Chain Management solution that you use for planning and optimizing supply chain processes at a strategic, tactical, and operational planning level.
    With APO - Simultaneous Material & Capacity Planning is possible, as against R/3 PP
    APO Planning is capable of taking all the constraints into consideration with Planning for Capacities/Scheduling
    APO Resource (workcenter in R/3) does a Capacity availability check before scheduling an activity, if capacity is not available, it finds the immediate next available slot & schedules the activity there. This is not possible with R/3
