Adding CMS for Promotion Manager

We are on BOE version 4.0 SP5 Patch 5. I am trying to locate instructions how to add new CMS so we can connect and promote objects from one system to another using 'Promotion Management' on CMC. By default only current CMS can be selected.
We have the systems - Dev, QA and Prod. We needed to reinstall Dev from scratch. After reinstall we cannot connect and pull content from other system
I searched for instructions but I could not find specific ones for SP5.

You don't need to add CMS for promoting objects from one environment to another.Only when youa re using override settings, you have to CMS systems.
Create a job, while creating a job, it will ask for source and destination systems locations. and then add the objects you want to promote.
Check if all the systems are same domain.

CMC - Promotion Management Tool

Hi,
I created a user account in CMC for promotion management tasks. Promotion is successful only if the user is a member of Administrator. I have given all rights for the user under CMC--->Application -->Promotion Management tools.
BI 4.0 Edge. SP06 Patch 1
Any help is appreciated.
Thank You
Veena

Yes Veena, I think Users may not have to be part of Administrators group in order to promote the content from one environment to another if they are provided with access to the Promotion Management through CMC>Applications area and also if they have access to the content to be promoted.
Refer to Promotion management section(15.1.3 Application Access Rights) of the below guide for more details on granting access to other users to promotion management.

Windows AD user cannot use Promotion management, Why?

A Procedure is distributed by SAP how to Use ”Promotion Management” in a OTAP/ DTAP street.
See Chapter/Secton 05 of this document: https://archivesaptechedhandson.hana.ondemand.com/contentArchive/AP263_Exercises_VHO_FINAL.pdf
This is a very good/useful procedure. This procedure works with an “Enterprise” Account.
In our environment we ONLY work with “Windows AD” accounts. (to keep users management very straight forward.)
We do not get the procedure working with “Windows AD” account.
Our procedures stops at Section: “07.3 Add to VM”:
The selected webi document, within the promotion Job, is not getting "checked in" in Version Management.
After that all other steps are useless.
Windows AD user cannot use Promotion management, but Why?
(If we use version managment on the individual webi report, with a windows AD user everyting works fine)

Sebastian,
you showed us the right direction.
We run SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 2 Patch 3.
In SAPBO4.1 we had to extend the properties of 2 services:
AdaptiveJobServer and the AdaptiveProcessingServer.
Now we can use windows active directory for promotion management,
thanx.

BADI for Claims search in trade promotion management

Hi Experts,
I am enhancing the Claims search in trade promotion management with a custom field. I added a custom field in the search screen of claims.
I want to filter the records based on that custom field. The component is BT311S_CSR and the search query is BTQCSR.
Is there any BADI for claims so that I can filter the records.
I tried to put a breakpoint in the badi CRM_BADI_RF_Q1O_SEARCH and searched but it is not stopping.
Does this badi works for claims? Or first do i have to create a implementation with the filter object as BTQCSR then try to check whether it will stop in the badi while searching the claims.
Please suggest me.
Regards,
Dinesh.

Hi Dinesh,
Now this becomes tricky. Since your requirement is very specific there is no way that standard sap can help. You may end up in enhancing n number of classes.
I can propose a solution though Please put of in front of your business/ functional team and then go ahead..
Now we will change our approach...Please follow below steps:
1. Add a altogether new field to your claim transaction using AET for sales office (description as 'Sales Office').
2. Make this field search and result relevant.
3. Whenever a sold to party is selected for claim transaction, based on the sold to party you would set value of this field.
4. Since your field is search relevant it will automatically appear in your search query (control this in view configuration.)
5. You may or may not display this field to end user in claim detail screen, You can control this by configuration.
6. Depending on your requirement you can show/hide standard sales office field in search query.
If you follow this approach then it will serve the purpose.
Trust this solves your issue. Give points if it helps.

Bhushan

Problem in adding Custom Provider for Work Management Service

Hello,
I'm facing an issue in adding custom provider for work management service. As you are aware, Work management service is a Provider model and we
can integrate with other systems by adding custom providers. So with that confidence, i have started writing a connector as mentioned below.
Step - 1: Added new provider xml in the below path
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\CONFIG\WorkManagementService\Providers"
Provider Name: provider.bizagitasklist
Provider XML Content:
<Provider ProviderKey="DAA52AF3-A147-4086-8C0C-82D2F83A089D" OverrideProviderKey="" Assembly="adidas.TaskProvider, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5d6f3e6be60a351b" > </Provider>
Step -2: Added a class which inherits "IWmaTaskProvider" and implemented the override methods.
public class BizAgiTaskListProvider : IWmaTaskProvider
public string LocalizedProviderName
get { return "BizAgiTaskListProvider"; }
public string ProviderName
get { return "BizAgiTaskListProvider"; }
public Microsoft.Office.Server.WorkManagement.CalloutInfo GetCalloutInfo(IWmaTaskContext context, string taskExternalKey, string locationExternalKey)
return null;
public DashboardExtensionInfo GetDashboardExtensionInfo(IWmaBasicProviderContext context)
return new DashboardExtensionInfo { ClassName = "SP.UI.SharePointExtension" };
public BulkEditResult HandleBulkEdits(IWmaTaskContext context, BulkEdit updates)
return null;
public TaskEditResult HandleTaskEdit(IWmaTaskContext context, BaseAggregatorToProviderTaskUpdate taskUpdate)
return null;
public void RefreshSingleTask(IWmaTaskRefreshContext context, string externalKey)
public void RefreshTasks(IWmaTaskRefreshContext context)
//context.WriteProviderCustomData(
Step – 3: Written a class to fetch the tasks from BizAgi System which has method to provide the task data.
But I’m not able to feed those tasks in the class written in Step – 2 as I’m able to find any method which will take Tasks as Input and I’m not
sure about the format of tasks.
I’m able to debug the provider, and the breakpoint hitting in only one method and two properties.
(LocalizedProviderName, ProviderName, GetDashboardExtensionInfo).
Can you please help me to proceed further in implementing the above solution?
Best Regards
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
Although the implementation of work management service application is based on the provider model, I reckon the current SP 2013 RTM does not support custom providers. Only SharePoint task lists, Project server and MS Exchange are supported for now.

Path for Content Management System (CMS)?

Hi All!
Has anyone configured Authoring environment for learning Solution. Can anyone please provide me the step-by-step details.
Also can anyone please explain the process of setting up the path for CMS (Content Management System) Address in KM for ECC6.
Ours is a EP7.0,ECC6.0 (NW2004s) new implementation.
Thanks
regards
Madhu

Hi,
"CMS" would in the first place only be a generic term that you can call any product that manages content.
At SAP I am aware of the following similar terms:
KM - Java-based CMS, integration framework for 3rd party CMS's and more of SAP NetWeaver, runs in the Portal
CM - The architectural part of KM that deals with basic content management services. With additional services and TREX this combines to KM.
DMS - "Document management system", R/3-based system for management of engineering documents, bases on "KPro" in Web AS ABAP, part of mySAP PLM, integrates into KM via repository manager
KW - KPro-based system for managing SAP-related documentation and training
Content Server - Object storage location for KPro-managed documents (see DMS)
KPro - "Knowledge Provider", deep level very generic set of ABAP methods to manage document attachment objects in an R/3 environment
Hope that clarifies...
Regards, Karsten

Trade promotion management for rebates processing

Hi All,
I am looking for configuration or step by step procedure on trade promotion management for rebates processing. Any document that gives the condition types to be used, set up of trade promotion, determination of the trade promotion related conditions in sales order, accruals of such rebates will be helpful
Regards,
Praveen

sorry, I can't login a CRM server now, but I try to answer your question by my memory
u2022 What condition types are required for rebates
the condition type for rebate is special, different the normal pricing condition, the rebate condition has a different condition usage. you can define the rebate condition record in rebate related SPRO path
u2022 How are they linked to TP and how the conditions flow to ECC
the condition generation configure in TP link the condition with TP type, you can check the configuration in SPRO
u2022 How are these conditions determined in sales order
the rebate also need to configure to the sale order, this configuration is under SD rebate path, and you can upload the configuration by middleware synchronize object from CRM
u2022 Are there any agreements that need to be created
the aggrement will be created automatically if the rebate condition can be generated in CRM TP. pay attention that the spend type table in TP WEB UI page has a button named 'rebate generate'
u2022 How does accruals happen
the accrals is depend on the funds plan, if fund plan created and configure for accrualls, you can launch a job background for accrual base on a fund plan from WEB UI
u2022 How is it linked to funds, what set up of funds is required
the funds is link to fund plan, fund plan link to TP. There is no directly link between funds with rebate, but they have indirect relationship through spend category, method,... E.G. you configure a rebate belong to a spend category, and you can configure the spend category in fund determination with TP.
The funds will be determined when TP created
u2022 How validation happens from claims
validaion happens in claim processing, in claim, the spend value will be fetch from fund usage, and bring to the validation screen, you can edit the validation data, and claim will generate the billing due list according to the validation you input.

Working with version management and promotion management best practices BO 4.1

Hi Experts
I wondered if anybody knows if there is a document or something about best practices to work with the version management and promotion management in BO 4.1?
Our Environment includes two servers. The first one is our development and test server. The second server is our prod system.
Now on the dev server we have basically two folders called dev and test. We control access to them with a right system based on the folder structure.
My question now is how you would work in this scenario (third server is not an option). Main target is to have as few reports as possible. Therefore we try to work with the version management system and only have one version of each report in the dev folder of the cms. But this is where problems start. Sometimes the newest version is not the version we want to publish to the test folder or even prod server.
How would you publish the report to the other folder? Make a copy of the concerned report (transport to the same system via promotion management is not possible). Also how would you use the version management in regards to the folder structure? Only use version management in dev folder and export reports to test folder (out of vms control) or also use vms in test folder and how would that work?
Further more I’d be interested in learning best practices with promotion management. I found out that the promotion of a report that doesn’t exist in prod doesn’t make any problems. But as soon as an older version already exists there is only partial success and the prod folder gets renamed to “test”.
Any suggestions on how to handle these problems?
Thank you and regards
Lars

Thank you for your answer.
So you are basically proposing to work with the vms in the dev folder and publish the desired version to the test folder. And the test folder is out of version control in this scenario if I understood you correctly (like simple data storage)?
And how would you suggest promoting reports to the prod system? Simply by promoting the
desired version from dev folder directly to prod? This would probably lead to inconsistence because we would need to promote from dev system to test and dev to prod instead of promoting a straight line from dev over test to prod. Furthermore it would not solve the problem of the promoting result itself (A new folder called dev will be generated in prod but the report gets promoted to the prod folder if there was no report before).
Thank you for the link. I came across this page just a few days ago and found also lots
of other tutorials and papers describing the basic promoting process. The promoting process in general is clear to me but I wondered if it is possible to change some parameters to prevent folder renaming for example.
Regards
Lars

Field extension in TPM (Trade Promotion Management)

Hi experts,
I have a requirement where I have to extend a field in the New Web UI of the Trade Promotion Management.
In the Trade Promotion Creation, I have to add the Planning Channel Group field in the Trade Promotion details Assignment Block.
Could someone help me to do that?
I suppose I have to use the EEWB to extend the field, but honestly I don't know if is an extendable field.
If it is, I don't know which is the Business Object to extend and what Type to extension is it.
Thank you very much in advance.
Guillermo Buscemi

The Genil Component for trade promotion ( TPMOE) is CRMD_MKTPL_TPM.
If you look at the data model then you will see we are using Trade as root object and Trade Element as acciless object.
Refer the structures attached to them. They are mainly CRMS_MKTPL_IB_TPM and CRMS_MKTPL_IB_TPT and the are extendable via EEWB and include.
You should not have any issue adding new Fields.

Specific Identification Cost for batch managed items (Follow-Up from P2P)

Specific Identification Cost method is used for serial and batch managed item. Using this method, the outbound cost of such items would be the original cost of specific goods, which can be determined according to the serial or batch number of that item.
Business One allows the user to receive batch managed items with a batch number that already exists in the DB. Its possible that the received quantity is added to on-hand quantity in the warehouse. In such case, the quantity on-hand of that batch and the received quantity may have different costs.
What should be the system behavior in such case:
1. Block receipts to the same batch with different costs.
2. Write the difference to a price difference account, as done in Standard Cost method.
3. Manage the batch cost with Moving Average method.
This thread is continuation from 'Specific Identification Cost for batch managed Items' <a href="http://p2p.sap.com/businessoneforum?type=join&login=1&uid=41FB661A76CED536C825C4E2B6FF4397&cid=91&go=z37225">discussion</a> in P2P SAP Business One Forum (Product Development Collaboration).
Previous discussion on P2P is summarized in the attached file.

Hi Peter,
This is a very important functionality that you are describing here. For example, in the Steel industry, it could be extremely useful to cost by batch or serial number.
If you receive a batch that already exists in the system and if the costing method for the product is moving average, then teh cost of the batch should be calculated based on the moving average as well.
If the costing method is standard, then the cost should go in a variance account.
If the costing method is FIFO, then it is a getting trickier...

I can no longer see anything in the "Manually Added Songs" field when managing music on my iPhone4. why?

If you are using iTunes Match, your songs are long gone.

How can i get newly added contacts for a Mailbox User in Exchange Server 2013

Hi all,
I need to synchronize contacts in Exchange Server and Sugar CRM Application, for that
i need to get newly added contacts for a User in Exchange Server 2013 by using EWS Managed API.
I know how get the list of all contacts for a particular user , but in the list how i can find
new contacts ?

Hi Dora,
that's the fun thing:
You add your own property (and it'll be invisible to outlook users, not to worry).
Extended Properties allow you to define custom property on Exchange Items. And it has a
method for setting those too.
Here's a short post doing a very simple intro on using Extended Properties.
Glen's Exchange Blog is a generally useful resource when working with EWS, I'm confident you'll be able to find lots of tips there as well.
Cheers,
Fred

Disabling Action Button for only manager in Manager Self Service

Hi people,
I have a requirement in SSHR. I created one SIT for training assessment and added this function to Manager Self Service. So, if a manager logs into the system and clicks this function, he will be able to see the subordinates reporting to him. He can choose Action button against any of them to fill the assessment form. But the Action button is also visible against the manager name. My client Wants the Action button to be hided for Manager (as manager should not be allowed to fill his own form) and only wants action button to visible for subordinates reporting to him. Is there any way to achieve this through any profile option or personalisation
Thanks

Hi,
I am not sure if it is possible through personalization please, give a try.. If this doesnt work I think you can go for user hook and put validation like if selected person is same as initiator then throw an error.
Thanks,
Avinash

More info:  This thread suggested that fully patching their server resolved their issue, but I can confirm my server was fully up to date with all critical, security, and updates for Server 2008 R2 SP1 through 04/2014. I have .Net Framework
4 Client profile and Extended installed with their patches current. I wonder if upgrading to .Net 4.5 would have prevent this?

I also found a this article that talks about deploying the .MSP without the Patchwizard.exe wrapper, so sounds like I should be good.
The *Patchwizard.exe file is just a wrapper, so if you have a tool like Configuration Manager you can use the .MSP file directly for deployment and skip deploying the executable. This is a fully supported scenario so if that better suites your needs
then feel free to deploy the update using this method instead.

Hi,
Some of the companies are having a practice of paying payables with the rounding off rules. This rounding of in India could be from Rs.0.01 to Rs.10.00. For examble, there is a payable amount of Rs.125125.25 this can be rounded off to Rs.125125.00 or Rs.125130.00 while making payment. The balance amount should hit the rounding off difference account.
The same things is applicable for receivables also.
Over/under payment GL can be configured by using T Code OBXL
There is an another use, for details see the below link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/01/a9b9a6455711d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
There may be some more reason where you need to do this configuration,
Disc. difference
Incorrect cash discount rate
To be paid without deduction
Credit memo without backdated cash disct
Cash discount period exceeded
Reduction without doc.number allocation
Incomplete payment advice note
Payment amount is different
Debit reduced not paid
Debit reduced not paid
Reduced twice
Paid not reduced
Damaged goods - disputed
Goods damaged during transport
Quant.delivered not same as order quant.
Freight charges not paid
Miscellaneous deductions
Price variances - disputed
Partial payment
Returns
Residual item creation
Trade Promotion
Payment differences on debit side
Hope it clears your doubt.
