Approval for scheduling overview

Hi PM experts,
Here my issue is that, how to provide approval for preventive miantenance schedule.
In brief, In the plant person responsibile for maintenance is creating the preventiv emaintenance plan for one year and he is scheduling for on eyear and he need to take the approval for the schedule (ie. for planned dates in the year) from his HOD. I think we can achieve the scenario by using the user status but there is no status display for Scheduling (In IP10) and i found one BADI for inserting digital signature in scheduling but i dont know the functionality (How it works). Pl give ur suggestions at the earliest.
Thank You,
Venkat

Dear,
U can take assiastance from Basis person and design authorisation matrix dat which person suppose to create the plan and schedulde the plant . it can be done by authorisation ,.so take help from BASIS person and design hirechary in the department which person is authorised for creating plan,scheduling plan and executing the same.in authoriasation its possible ok
take care ,
bye

Slowly but surely..finally approved for BofA

I'm new to this forum, but I have been following for several years. I really want to thank everybody for sharing their experiences and advice. I hope that my story will help others just the same as you have all helped me...n I'd like to apologize ahead for the super long essay lol ;P During my sophmore year in college, I messed up big time on racking thousands of dollars on credit card debt and losing my job. 4 accts ended up in derog (prob around 10k), so my mid 700's dropped to the low 500's. I still had a few retail cards open and good standing student loans, but I had to kiss all my major cc's goodbye. 3 yrs later, I decided to start my journey on rebuiling my credit. I received a preapproval letter from Cap1 and figured I had nothing to lose. I was approved for the Cap1 Platinum MC with an initial 500CL and 22.90% APR w/ an auto CLI to 2500 after 5 months w/ heavy util. 1 yr later, i was approved for an auto loan through Cap1 w/ 6.96% APR. Couple months after that, I applied for the Cap1 Journey Visa and was approved with 500CL and 22.90% APR w/ auto CLI to 750 after 5 months and another auto CLI to 2750 after an additional 5 months. Cap 1 upgraded my Platinum MC to Quicksilver MC shortly after getting the Journey Visa. I know lots of people have their gripes against Cap1, but wow, they really provided a platform to improve without paying any AF's. High interest, but I made sure to PIF after the 0% promotional periods ended. I'd highly recommend Cap1 as a rebuilder as long as you can manage your finances well since 22% APR would cost a lot in interest. After babysitting my credit score for a year, I was so hesistant to apply for the BofA Cash Visa. I recently saw an "invitation to apply" through my online banking and decided to jump the gun. I was approved on spot with a 500CL and 17.99% APR. I'm a bit disappointed that the CL is so low, but so glad to have a "prime" lender approve me. Hopefully BofA will do an auto CLI after a year. *cross my fingers* So after 3 years of careful planning, my score is now steady at 655 (idk my score didn't change after BofA's HP), for EXP and TU. I'm not planning to apply for anymore CC's, but starting to consider if I should do an auto refi. All of my baddies are scheduled to drop in one year, so my ultimate goal would be to be back in the 700's so that I can eventually buy a house. Of course my baddies dropping will help, but are there any other recommendations to increase my score? Thanks and wish me luck!

Vendor approval for outside operation

Hi,
I am trying to define a process for vendor approval for an external operation. We have service operations on our production orders and we are not using the 04 but only the 03 inspection type. Since the service operation is for account assignment F (production order) and does not have a material as a line item, how do I prevent the 101 goods receipt for the production order in case of an unapproved vendor was sent the service operation. Usually businesses do this as they have a vendor who is approved for other processes and hence the assumption is that he will eventually be approved and is good enough for an additional process. So they purchase at risk. If we had a 04 inspection type I could have given a one time skip MIC for the vendor approval and controlled it there. But since we dont have 04 inspeciton type how do I control this.
I am pretty sure this is a common scenario and someone on this forum might have had implemented this.
Thanks

Hello,
You can use scheduling agreement for your vendor approval process. For approved vendor you can set your rules and grouped all approved vendors in scheduling agreement. based on that system will take only those vendors from that grp and depend upon terms and contracts w.r.t scheduling line system will allow for PO.
I am not a MM consultant but yes you can take this as refference and ask MM consultant how to execute the same in your case.
Secondly for vendor approval you have any process like testing of its product or service or any document verification etc. ?
if it is there then just maintain the Q- Info and put quality controls over vendor master. w/o quality approval system won't allow to use the unapproved vendor.

WSUS Manage Approval for different Groups

We have different products the the company hosts and they require that servers be patched on Test servers prior to a code release. Once the the servers are tested then the same set of patches should be deployed to the production servers during a scheduled
time when the code is released to the production servers. And that is the case for other products but the cycle between the product is always different. So we always want test group be product match the production group by product. What is the best solution
to implement for this type of environment to be able to approve any missing update to the test group for a product and when time comes how to push the same updates to production groups.
The way I have it seems messy because i have bunch of nested groups by datacenter > product name > purpose of the server "wether it is QA webserver, prod webserver, dev webserver, other servers,
etc... and what i do is from Update Reports, run "Update Status Summary" report on the test group that has a status of "Needed, Failed, No Status" and from there approve the updates to that test group. Install the updates, etc... and then
when I want to deploy the updates to certain groups, I run the "Updated Tabular Status for Approved Updates", select the same test group that was deployed to and the option "Installed/NotApplicable, Needed" and approve to the Production
group. Seems like I am doing this all wrong. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

Hi,
I’m not sure if I have got your idea correctly. After you approved for test group, and there is any problem. You need approve for production group or all computer group.
A similar question here:
How does the WSUS approval process work ?

Unable to Reserve and Approve the Scheduled Releases in 11.5.10.2 version

Hi All,
We are newly implementing the Planned PO’s for our client. Now we are successfully reserve and approve the Planned PO’s using the Position Hierarchy but when we try to reserve and the approve the scheduled releases using the same Position Hierarchy here the Approve button is frozen, but from Tools we are able to check the funds.
EX: A, B, C are in the position Hierarchy
1. A is forwarding the document to B
2. B is able to open the Scheduled document from the Notifications but here when he try’s to reserve and approve the document here the Approve button is Frozen.
Note: if B is approving the document from Notifications the document is sending to the next manager and he is able to approve the document but in action history for reserve it’s showing the ‘C’ name instead of ‘B’.
Can any one help me on this issue ASAP?
Regards,
Kevin.

Are Solaris Zones approved for SAP production environments?

All,
I am trying to find an official document from SAP that confirms that Solaris Zones are approved for use in SAP NW production environments. I checked the product availability matrix but it does not address Containers or Zones.
Thanks,
Guenther

They don't state it explicitly because you can use it. I comes with the operating system and if they would deny that, there would a be a note stating that explicitly.
On top of that, SAP would not create notes how to install and configure a zone if it wouldn't be supported
We run many instances under zones (production, test, sandbox) and make use of ZFS heavily and it works like a charm.

HOPE IT WILL WORK

How to change default approval for ResourceAuthorizerApproval ?

Hi,
I'am new in OIM and I follow documentation where I found some predefined workflows. I'd like to use them.
Could you tell me, step by step, how to change default approval for ResourceAuthorizerApproval (only for my new defined resource).
I'm using OIM 11g and Design Console 11.1.1.3.0.2.0

Ok, I made new tamplate (copy of existing one), there I changed Template Level Approval Process and set allowed resources. It seems to be ok :)
If there are other solutions please share with me

Exit for role determination via exit for scheduling agreement and contract?

Hi..
I have a requirement to fetch the agents in run-time for PO,PR,SCHEDULE AGREEMENT, CONTRACT..
For PO i am using EXIT : - M06E0005
For PR release i am using EXIT :- M06B0001
By using above 2 exits i am getting the agents at run-time...
Same way i need the EXIT for SCHEDULE AGREEMENT and CONTRACT..
if there is any EXIT for this please share with me..
Regards,
Imtiaz Khan

Hi Imtiaz,
Ideally you should have your agent determination logic in workflow itself instead of determinining them in EXIT.
Can you tell me why you are determining agents in exit and how you are making use of it ?
Also let us know how your workflows are getting trigger for all these documents.
Regards,
Ibrahim

Delivery Schedule for Scheduling Agreement

Hi Gurus,
Can I do GR for scheduling agreement(with delivery schedule) if the GR is earlier than delivery date? What should I do to be able to do so?
Thank you very much

Hi
'Propose all Items" is ticked so that MIGO proposes all the items irrespective of the delivery date and quantity. This means that even if the delivery date has not yet been reached or the complete qty has been received, the system will still allow you to do the GR.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks

RE: Firming for Schedule Lines

Hi MM Gurus,
I have posted this question to ERP Manufacturing (PP) forum as I thought this is related to MRP settings.
I am working with MRP creating schedule lines automatically, I need way to have firming indicator for the schedule lines that created out of MRP. I have checked the forums and did some research, all mentioned about the time zones
Firm zone (zone 1) - Firmed
Trade-off zone (zone 2) - Semi Firmed
Planning zone (zone 3) - Forecast
But checking my Scheduling Agreement, ITEM > MORE FUNCTIONS > ADDITIONAL DATA, in the scheduling control portion the FIRM ZONE field and TRADE OFF ZONE field are not modifiable. I have changed SA-->Define document type for SA type to ensure that the indicator for scheduling agreement release documentation is ON. And defined the scheduling control field as optional, but still the FIELDS are grayed out/unmodifiable.
Is there any other configuration change I need to do in order to activate this?
Thanks,
Richard
