Approvals for Service Document

Experts,
I am trying to write a query to use in an Approval Template, that will activate when the user enters an AP Invoice with a document type of Service.
Thanks,
Peter

Gordon,
Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, this query is still not working for me.
- Approval Procedures box is checked
- I'm entering the service AP Invoices logged in as the Originator on the Approval Template
-AP Invoice is selected on the Documents tab
- One Stage is set up
- On the Terms Tab, Undefined Type is checked by default, and the query is selected in the Query Name section
- The document Adds as normal, and there is nothing in the Approval Status Report

Tax Calculation for Service Process at service entry level

Hi all ,
We have Service process where the tax calculation is Purchase Item level and the Tax calcaulation is happening from there .
and also during MIRO .
system is not able to determine the tax calculation at service entry level , how can we achieve this ?
can some help me on this .
thanks ,
ksr

Hi,
please check additionally the following OSS notes:
495316     Taxes with services
See consulting Note 498878 for information about the functioning of
taxes for service documents.
For service orders, you can set in Customizing (Transaction ML100 or the
following path: -> Materials Management -> External Services Management
-> Taxes at Individual Service Level) whether the taxes are calculated
at individual service level or at item level.
If you set the 'Taxes at individual service level' indicator for a
country, you can maintain tax data (tax indicator MWSKZ and tax
jurisdiction code TXJCD) in a purchase order at service level AND at
item level in Customizing.
The tax calculation only occurs at service level.

But, it still does not resolve my problem. I also upgraded the version to SP16 and yet it does not resolve the problem. Can someone tell me what could be wrong?
Thanks for all your help in advance.

Hi,
All the form-related services have to be started first: the IIOP on dispatcher and server, all the Document Services *, PDF manupulation and XML form module.
Then you should be able to register your credential.

Delivery Document for Services

Hello Experts,
I have a scenario which I am looking for an SAP solution. My client provides consultancy services and bills customers for it. At the beginning of the contract, customer gives a letter of intent (LOI) which authorised commencement of work. After work is completed, the customers signs a job completion form/service entry sheet, which is the basis on which the client can invoice the customer for the hours/days spent. Thinking along OTC, it looks to me that the LOI could represent a sales order, but I am looking for a document to represent the job completion form/service entry sheet. Can we have a delivery document for services? Is there any other document that can perform the same function as delivery in this scenario? I think there has to be another document after the sales order that will represent the actual hours/days spent on the job which the invoice can reference in billing the client.
Thanks for your prompt help.

Its part of Customer Service. And widely know as After Market.
Is very much integrated with SD as well as PS.
DP90 csan be used by PS & SD both.
Whereas, if your refer DP90, its purely based on Sales Document.
Refer following SAP Help link for reference/understanding:
- [ Resource-Related Billing |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/en/59/54fc37004d0a1ee10000009b38f8cf/content.htm|also CS billing process]
Also refer, SAP Note 301117 - Enhanced documentation for dynamic item processor (DIP).
As DIP profile(TCode ODP1) is the critical part of RRB configuration.

Java startup property for Adobe document services

Hi guyz, since a while i'm facing a random issue when i generate pdf. All the configuration has been done, but when look at in configtool i see a missing parameter:
-Dorg.omg.PortableInterceptor.ORBInitializerClass.com.sap.engine. services.ts.jts.ots.PortableInterceptor.JTSInitializer
Because it's in the recommendation parameter guide i guess it should be in, but someone can tell what those parameter deals about ?

Hi,
Yes, this service is mandatory if you want to use Adobe document service. It should be set for all server nodes in the config tool. This is Java startup property for Adobe document services. Without this parameter adobe service will not start as a result you will not be able to open adobe documents.
Thanks

I guess it is caused by the fact that some of variables in the binder refer to the first workflow item. My bet would be dDocName.
Try to find out what's in the binder if you approve the second item from GUI and what's there when you do it from your program. That should give you enough info what you need to change.

Service group for particular document type or Purchase Organisation

Dear Gurus,
I want to add service group as like Material group. but my objective is to restrict those service group for particular document type or Purchase Organisation??
Is it possible, if so please advice me the SPRO Settings
Thanks
RS

Hi,
Basically, this task (both customized table activation via SE11 transaction and user exit activation via SE37 transaction) will be done by ABAPer. All you should do is to prepare the functional specs document in which you require -
1)   A generation and activation of the customized table which consists of at least four columns -
     a)   Purchasing Organization;
     b)   Purchasing Document Type;
     c)   Material group/service group
     d)   Purchasing Document Creation Date
2)   A coding and activation of the related function module (You can use SMOD transaction to view the enhancement MM06E005 to view related user exit).
Cheers,
HT

Proceeding document for service order

In the case of recall/upgrade for service industry, product service letter can be created as a proceeding document for service order. I used to 0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H for the service order. The BI content ODS for service order header is 0CRM_PROH. It contains an infoObject for proceeding document 0CRM_PREDOC. But it is not mapped in the transformation.
I have 2 questions:
1. which source field should 0CRM_PREDOC be mapped to?
2. is it possible to include produce service letter in regular service order? The object type for produce service letter is BUS2000210. I noticed only BUS2000116 (service order) is being extracted via 0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Madhu,
I am sure you can create a follow-up transaction from a Service ticket to Service Order, All you have to make sure is the setting in IMG for Follow-up are active and right.

Service order as followup document for service order

HI gurus,
Can a service order be created as a followup for service ticket. The call agent creates a service ticket for a channel partner. The channel partner should open the service ticket and create a followup document service order for the service ticket.
Can we create a followup document which has the leading business transaction category same as the preceeding document.
Thanking u, Madhu.

Table Name to see the Document Flow for Service Order - T. Code IW33?

Hi,
can u advise the Table Name to see the Document Flow for Service Order - T. Code IW33?
Ravi.

Hi,
From SERVICE ORDER you cant get the INVOCIE NUMBER,
You will get the SALES ORDER number for that Service order in QMEL table and fetch the Sales order and then goto VBFA to get the Invoice number for the sales order with the DOCUMENT CATEGORY M.
hope it will serve you.
thanks,

Release Procedure for Service Entry Sheet Wr to the Purchasing document

Hi,
I have configured the Service entry sheet release procedure on the basis of Purchase order document type by creating Characteristic With table -field (CESSR - BSART) and also class is maintained where the defined characteristic has been assigned.Release group is assigned to the class and all necessary customizing activities carried over. I assigned release group n Strategy thru Cl20n and also checked in Cl30n for the document type where system is exactly proposing only one value for the document type. But when i create Service entry sheet thru ML81N after saving the document i checked for release strategy through Goto-> Service entry sheet -> Release Strategy which is grey mode.
I tried thru ML85 System says that no suitable purchasing document is available for release.
thank u
