Automate PDF creation

Hi All,
I was wondering if there is a possibility to create a kind of droplet for InDesign CS3 (Windows), were you can drop an InDesign Interchange (.inx) that creates a PDF with a certain preset?
After translation I want a possibility for translators to create a PDF without dealing to much with InDesign. And their output format is an InDesign Interchange (.inx).
Any suggestions
Thanks a lot
marco

If you add text fields to your PDF you could do it with a mail-merge type
script...
Alternatively, you can use the Data Sets functionality in Illustrator, I
believe.

Acrobat stops functioning halfway through PDF creation

I have to convert a very large WORD document (a book, 680 pages including illustrations, tables, index etc.) to PDF. Let me begin by explaining that I've already done this in the past, using Acrobat Professional 5 and Office 2000 Professional; it took ages to create the PDF file, but I was able to do it. At that stage I actually had Acrobat 6, but since it blocked halfway through PDF creation, I went back to Acrobat 5 and managed to create my PDF file.
I've recently had to revise the document in question, but I now have Office 2007, Acrobat Professional 8.1.2, and a new laptop (Acer Aspire 5105, AMD Turion 64x2, 2.0 GHz, 160GB HDD). I tried converting it to pDF yesterday, but once again found that the program blocked halfway through (while creating Tags; it gets up to 60%, and then just stops functioning). I thought this might have something to do with the sceensaver starting up, or else the automatic saving of the WORD document, but I don't think this is the case.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be, and how o solve it?
Mark

It should convert exactly as long as you have done the editing with the Adobe PDF printer selected. This is a WORD issue. The ability to do the conversion was my concern and tags are likely the issue for such a large document, particularly if you have a lot of graphics. Keep in mind that to create the PDF, a PS file is first created -- that is a format that is not very small in terms of storage and could be huge. Your TEMP folder is typically limited by windows and may need to be emptied to hold this file.
Optimizing the graphics up front is also good. Using Mike's suggestion to find the problem graphic would be useful, but is hard to do with PDF Maker (I don't think you can select the pages with PDF Maker). Printing to the Adobe PDF printer will check the layout and also the ability to do the conversion. If the latter works, it is then a matter of determining what you need in PDF Maker.
If you do not need the markup (or wish to add later), then you can save a lot of space by simply printing to the Adobe PDF printer. With PDF Maker, you likely need to go back and review the defaults.

Can we automate user creation or responsibility addition

HI,
I would like to know, if by any way we automate user creation in apps. or If not user creation, at least responsibility addition. Lets say we create users with some default responsibility. And after that with the use of user management or CRM HTML Admin some automation can be done like, they select the responsibility they want, it reaches next approval level, once approved it automatically gets added to user account.
Not sure if this can be done or not. I heard someone did in his project using user managemenr or CRM HTML ADmin, not sure though

Hi,
You can do manually (as per your other thread).

I am looking for a way to automate index creation using Adobe Reader Pro without having to use the screen user interface, as the indexing has to be run by a batch process.

Automatic PO creation of free text PR

Hi!
We have all our PRs in free text since we are not yet using material master. One of our purchase organization will only order from one vendor and they will enter that vendor and price in the PR. Is it possible to create a PO automatically from that PR without a material or source list?
Sincerely
Anders

Hi
Thank you very much. Is it possible to restrict the automatic creation to a certain purchase organization?
If I understand you right:
1) Create PR with item category D Service
2) Activate automatic PO creation in ML91
That will create POs for all PRs created as a service?
Sincerely
Anders

Problem during automatic PO creation

Hi,
I have run MRP for a certain material using MD03 .Message shows MRP run successfully.Then I checked the status of this by using transactions MD04 and it shows the PR no for that material.But when I want to create automatic PO through ME59n using that PR no , message shows no suitable PR exist.I have also set the Automatic PO indicator in Material master Purchasing view.
What is the reason behimd it.

Hi,
For automatic PO creation follow the below points.
1) Material Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box
2) Vendor Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box.
3) Maintain Source list for Vendor & Material.
4) Maintain Purchase Info Record.
5) Create a Purchase Requisition.
6) Use T.Code: ME59N & execute for PR for vendor, you will be able to create automatic PO.
Ensure that Purchase Info Record should be there.
If you have more than one vendor then fixe only one vendor in source list.
Did you set source determination during PR creation

Error during automatic po creation ME59N

Dear All,
Following errors has been shown after automatic po creation by ME59N:-
Message text Message Class Message Number
PO could not be created
PO header data still faulty MEPO 2
Enter Validity End ME 83
Enter Latest GR Date ME 83
Can delivery date be met? ME 40
Requisition could not be converted
Please suggest how to solve above .
with regards,
Pradeep Bhardwaj

Hi
From the messages it seems that system is expecting a Validity end date at PO header & Latest GR date at item level.
Do you have these two fields as required in the PO??
If these are required fields then you need to have process to populate them automatically (Programatically) to resolve the error.
Thanx

SRM Classic - Automatic PO creation in R/3 only for PReqs based on catalogs

Dear Experts,
in SRM 7.0 Classic Scenario, i am facing the following question w.r.t. automatic PO creation on the R/3 side:
Is it possible to have automatic PO creation in R/3 only for those purchase requisition items, that are based on shopping cart items from a third party punch out catalog?
The idea is, that the requisitioner on the SRM EBP side shops in a catalog. Once the the SC is approved and the purchase requisition is created in the R/3 system, automatically a PO should be created based on that PReq. This would save the time for the buyer, who do not need to pay attention to this document, because the purchase from the catalog guarantees the buyer, that the already pre-agreed conditions are getting applied.
But PReqs that are based on Free Text shopping cart EBP items must not be taken into account for the automatic PO creation.
Is there a way to distinguish between the catalo-based and the non-catalog based PReq positions?
Thank you.

Hello Ashutosh,
thank you very much for that idea!
I would have the following question w.r.t. to such configuration:
If i configure that the PO creation for complete SC should happen for a certain purchasing group, would it be somehow possible to arrange that when a Catalog item is put into the shopping cart, that only that certain purchasing group gets defaultet? (the idea behind this is, to leave the free text shopping carts to already known purchasing groups and to keep the purchase requisition as the backend object for this configuration. And additionally to create new purchasing groups, that should be linked to the catalog purchases and to POs as the backend objects).
Thanks again for the help!

Hello,
to check the errors issued I suggest to try to create the PO converting the PR from transaction ME21N.
I guess that some fields, mandatory for the PO creation, were not filled in the Purchase Request and could not be determined in any different way. If you can't maintain them on the PR you should set them as optional, if possible, in the customizing for Screen lay-out of transaction ME59N, under "Materials Management --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Define Screen Layout at Document Level".
Hope to be useful.
Best regards,
Andrea

Automatic PO creation from SC

Hi Experts,
I am using SRM 7.0 with extended classic scenario and I have issue in the automatic po creation. For some Shopping Carts the PO is not automatically created. The SC is having Source of Supply Assigned and all the approves have completely approved the SC. The latest status is I1111 Item in Transfer Process.
I checked in RZ20, ST22 and could not find any error or dumps.
For the SC item under BBP_PDBEI the BE_OBJECT_TYPE is BUS2201 and BE_OBJECT_ID 1, once I trigger the PO creation manually the PO object id is reflected here.
For such SC I am running the report BBP_ALERT_SB_NOTTRANSFERED manually which puts the SC in I1112 Error in Transmission Status and later I can trigger the SC creation from the alert monitor.
For POs created in this manner the PO is created in Held Status without any line items, is this normal?
I have two questions which I want to understand, how is the automatic po creation from SC setup, is there any customizing involved for the po creation from SC to happen automatically?
What else should I check to find the reason why the the SC was stuck in I1111 status and PO was not created?

You need to configure the Purchasing group and this will take care of automatic transfer of Doc to sourcing cockpit. Make sure you also maintain the customization for sourcing always carried out for Prod categories.

Automatic Po creation With MB01 i am getting Error

Hi ,
While doing goods receipt for Automatic Po creation i am getting error
MM activated Automatic Po
VM activated Automatic Po
101 Mov Type is also activated
Item 00010 of purchasing document 9999999999 does not exist
Message no. ME706
Diagnosis
Purchase order 00010 with item 9999999999 was not found.
Procedure
Enter a different purchase order.
i given the Vendor and quantity after entering error is coming
Please help
Manjunath

HI,
Pls ceck the points mentioned below.
Define one of the purchase organizations as Standard Purchase Organization
Assign your plant to Standard Purchase Organization
Maintain purchasing information record with price
Maintain the indicator for movement types 101 & 161
Define Default Values (MB01) for Document Type
Now you can enter a goods receipt without entering the purchase order number, a purchase order will be created automatically when you post the goods receipt. All such goods receipt will be valuated at the price maintained in the purchasing information record.
First you can try this with T. Code MB01 if it is working then try with T. Code MIGO, if you face any error or functionality is not working check with your basis consultant some authorization or some patches may be missing. Ask him to apply all relevant patches.
Thanks
Chandru

Automatic PO creation (ME59)

Hi,
1) source list and purchase info records both are mandatory for automatic PO creation ? with missing data in either of one, can I proceed ME59
2) if i have mentioned one material for two or more vendors in ME01 and ME11, which vendor will be assigned to PO
regards

Hi,
Just to add make sure your material master IS TICKED for automatic PO creation and vendor record is also ticked.
You should have a valid info record that consist of valid conditions.

In case of automatic po creation from third party order we have attach purchase organization and vendor to sales organization. This restrict only one vendor against sales organization.
Is any BADI available which we can use which to change vedor dynamically ?
Best Regards,

Dear Vasant,
For automatic PO at the time of GR following are the prerequisites:
1) In Customizing
a) Auto PO generation must be activated in Mov. Type 101 & 161
b) the plant for which GR is entered must be assigned to standard Pur. Org.
c) Default Document type for PO must be specified in GR ( MB 01)
2) Application - Front end side
a) material must be valuated material
b) Purchasing Info record must exist for vendor , material & standard Pur Org.
c) Conditions in Info Records must be valid.
d) Applicable for stock items & not consumable items
e) you cannot enter any movement in GR block stock
f) Material Master & vendor master records must.
If you ensure all above settings then it is possible to have auto PO during GR.
Please try,

Thank you.

Auto PO transaction ME59N comes with huge selection crieteria. If you can distinguish between catelog vs non catalog requisition then it very easy to set up variant to filter non catalog based requistion. you can also think about ehnacement of polulating text fields like Requisitioner or Requirement tracking number with unque idetifier in case of non catalog based PR then you can set variant to filter out those requistions..
