Automatic calculation for batch characteristic

Conversion factor is a batch characteristic which is to be calculated based on the other batch characteristics values entered by the user at the time of confirmation.
I have maintained the objectdependency in the batch class (023). The dependency type maintained is "Procedure". The batch class is assigned to material master. The formula is as follows
$self.conversionfactor=((($self.actthickness-0.067)*$self.density)
($self.paintgsm$self.metalgsm))*$self.width/1000
The formula is appearing in 2 lines in the dependency editor. There is no syntax error. As well as the dependency status is also "released".
But at the time of confirmation, if the values of the other characteristics are entered, no calculation for the characteristic conversion factor is done by the system.
Can anybody please guide on this???

Manish

thanks a lot

Need to restrict values in F4 help for Batch Characteristic

Hi,
I need to restrict values in F4 Help for a batch characteristic based on values entered for another characteristic. I could not find any BADI or Exit for this purpose. There is a BADI CACL_VALUE which is triggered after an entry is selected from dropdown list but nothing when we press F4. I thought of using Object Dependency but I need to write a programming logic for the requirement. Please let me know if there is any way to write program in Object Dependency or any other way for this requirement.

Hi nikhil simha,
first of all, find out which search help is called.
[Hierarchy of the Search Help Call|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0b/32e9b798da11d295b800a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm]
may help you.
If you know the search help, you may enhance it, but first of all you should check the where-used-list and make sure that the search help shows the requested behavior only in the context where you want it to.
If it is your own program, you may be better off to create your own search help and define the triggering fields as search help interface input fields. Then you can use the values to filter results.

Object dependency for batch characteristic

I have 1 class with multiple characteristics and 1 of the characteristics should be entered (mandatory) in case of a certain split valuation type (which is covered in the batch info). This should be done via object dependencies within the charateristic. Anyone knows how to do this?

Dear Sairam
As explaind to you in the earlier thread for product or proportion unit. you need not maintain object dependency for the characterestics. You have to maintain product unit which will appera as alternatvie UOM. While making GR the Alternate or product UOM will be seen as per the plan value(conversion factor) maintained in material master. You can change both Basic UOM and Alter UOM as per the actual caonversion recieved. This conversion factors will be saved in the batch classification.

Digital Signature automatically inserted for batch processing

hey guys... hope you can shed some light...
Is it possible to generate a non-interactive form with a digital signature already in-place?
We're generating invoices in batch processing and need to have a digital signature in place when we email the PDF to our vendor. The digital signature will always be the same.
I did see this in the LCD help:
"You can use Adobe document services to sign a document, validate a
signature, select the collection of objects to lock, or certify a PDF
document programmatically. This workflow is ideal when a large number
of documents require a signature because they can be signed in a batch
process.
To sign PDF documents in Adobe document services, configure the web
service for secure access using the secure sockets layer (SSL). For
details about this configuration, see the Adobe document services
Configuration documentation."
I have a link to the older ADS config document [-Here-|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/30a9630b-4f89-2a10-6fab-e311b3ffd9a6] and am in the process of looking through it.
However, has anyone done something like this already?

Otto,
thanks!
I hadn't checked out the demo - i didn't even know there was a demo program provided . BTW, it's FP_TEST_07.
I do believe you're correct that it needs to be an interactive form - that wont be an issue for us.
There is some documentation floating around that we're trying to piece together - we have our Basis team configuring the ADS for SSL connections.
From what I've seen, I think we have to store our signature in the ADS and attach it at run time.
Too many moving parts - I don't like it when I have to get more than 1 group involved to complete a develoment item.
I'll keep this thread updated as we progress.

Editing the formula in batch characteristic

The product is maintained with batch. The batch is created for the finished product manually at the time of confirmation. The batch characteristic values are maintained at the same time.
One of the characteristic value is to be calculated by using algebraic formula which includes simple mathematical operations on the values of the other characteristic.
for ex---
characteristic a---- 89 (VALUE entered by user)
characteristic b---- 1 (VALUE entered by user)
characteristic c---- 5 (VALUE entered by user)
characteristic d-----Automatic calculation based on above values & the formula.
I want for characteristic D----
Char D = {(a-0.03-0.07) * b + c} / d
How can I do this???? What will be syntax for this???
Please if anybody can help on this........

Dear Ramanujan,
I have received the reply from you & thanks very much for ur quick reply.
I have tried the settings suggested by you, but having still the problem.

Service Tax Calculation for Condition Types

Dear Experts,
In an Import Purchase Order for Coal, along with the Basic Price of the Coal, the following Conditions are also entered, in the Condition Types maintained in the Import Pricing Schema
-        Water front royalty
-          Port Dues
-          Berth Hire Charges
-          Port terminal charges
-          Surveyor charges
Each of these conditions may have a separate Vendor, hence the Purchase Order creator will select each condition and assign the required vendor.
Each of these conditions is subject to Service Tax, Educational Cess and Higher Secondary Educational Cess, the User want that separate service tax calculation be made available in the pricing schema for these individual conditions and the relevant vendor be assigned to these condition. the service tax on individual conditions be paid to the relevant vendor along with the basic value for the condition.
Separate Condition Types (15 nos.) for each of the above conditions for Service Tax, Educational Cess and Higher Secondary Educational Cess can be prepared and added in the pricing schema, the user will have to enter the percentages in the relevant conditions.
The user wants that the Service Tax be automatically calculated for these conditions, instead of manually entering the same. Please guide how can this be achieved.
Thanks in advance.
AJ

Hi,
For this you have to maintain the all your charges in your pricing procedure along with each charge you have to maintain 3 condition types for service and chesses.
Ex:
step counter cond.type des.                   from                 to
1 1 P000 Gross Price
1 2 P001 Gross Price
25 0 JM00 Water front royalty                 1
26 0 ser1 service                                  25
27 0 edu1 educationcess                      26
28 0 edu2 se.edu.cess ;                        26
29 0 jm01 Port Dues                                1
30 0 ser1 service                                   29
31 0 edu1 educationcess                       30
32 0 edu2 se.edu.cess                           30
like this you have to built your pricing procedure in a m/08. after that for you want the service tax automatically so for that you have to put the accesses sequence in you service condition types (ser, edu1,edu2).in m/06.
After that you have to maintain info record for that material and import vendor. in me11 in that in condition tab you have to maintain percentage for ser, edu1, edu2 . the system will calculate the service charges automatically.
Thanking you,

If statement in calculated batch characteristic (dependencies)

I have a little problem with calculating a certain batch characteristic.
The situation is the following:
I have batch char A, batch char B and batch char C. Batch char C is the result of the sommation of char A and B. The problem I have now is that batch char C only should be calculated when batch char A and B are different from 0.
I have a custom build interface that imports QM data to the batch chars. Default, all my batch chars are set to 0 so if I just say $self.charC = $self.charA + $self.charB, I always get a value.
Is it possible to some sort of IF statement to check if the value is different from 0?

Dear,
You need to try with variant table
take all the combination and enter in a variant table and see the result...it works
example
A     B      C
0      0      space
0      1      sapce
1      1      space
I hope you got it

Batch Characteristic not updating with result for linked MIC

Hi,
I have created a MIC and linked to a batch characteristic i.e. potency and included the characteristic in a specific batch class. This MIC is part of the inspection plan for a certain material.
If I generate a lot of origin 01 and 09 for the material and record a result for the MIC and apply a UD, the batch characteristic is not updated with the result recorded in the batch master record..
If I generate a lot origin 89 for the same material, when the result is recorded for the MIC and apply a UD the batch characteristic is updated with the mic value in the batch master record.
Can you help regards?

Ok. I am a little bit further.
I put a trace (ST05) on the result recording and I find a difference between 4.7 and ECC6.0.
In ECC6.0 I've an deletion in table "AUSP". This deletion isn't performed in the 4.7 system.
Hope that this can help to solve my problem.
Regards,
René

FSCM-CR: Automatical Interest Calculation for Late Payments

Hi all,
Do you guys know if there is a standard functionality ( on SAP Collections Management or in SAP Credit Management) for automatical interest calculation for the customers late payments ?
Our client is on FINBASIS 6.00
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Hi,
It will not be possible to post from Collections management as it would in general not be done by receivables team.
However, interest on arrears is a standard function available in Financial Accounting itself. Maybe you can use them for your requirement.

Linking MIC & Batch characteristic

Hey All
My understanding is that to move values from batch characteristic to MIC we need to maintain the link in MIC and this relationship is one to one relationship.
We have a business requirement as below. I do 2 types of testing i.e. official & vendor. First i do vendor testing and this will be reflected in the batch. After this i do official testing and this needs to overwrite the vendor results and update the batch automatically.
If i have to use the batch characteristic + MIC link, then i need to create 2 batch characteristics & 2 MIC's / test i perform on the material.
Is there a way by which i can have multiple link between batch characteristic & MIC and manage this link via some user exit or
do you have some suggestions on how to handle this business requirement?
Regards
TOM

You only need one inspection characteristic.
You don't indicate in your process how or when these two types of inspection happen.
You can create a source inspection lot with the tests the you use to record the vendor results on.
Then when you receive the material, you have an 01 inspection lot created for recording your actual results.
The second set UD on the 01 lot will over write the batch record results from the first source inspection.
If you have one inspection lot that is created at goods receipt, use two operations. Operation 10 has the vendor tests. Operation 20 has the in-house testing. When the UD is made the test results from the last operation will be written to the batch record.

Batch characteristic in classification not updating

Hello expert,
I have created classification for batch (class type 023) with characteristic MCH1 -LWEDT to record last GR date. Batch number has to be entered manually during GR posting. And i expect that during GR posting, characteristic value of GR date will be automatically updated in the classification but i've found that it is blank.
My query is, do GR date in characteristic value of batch class can be automatically updated during GR posting?
If it yes, what's wrong with my class? and how to make it works as expected?
Really appreciate your help.
Thank you in advance

Hi Rahul,
Just to make sure. Have you created a characteristic named MCH1-LWEDT or have you actually linked your characteristic to the field MCH1-LWEDT in the "Addtnl Data" tab in CT04?

Are you using a separate batch selection class versus the batch class?
There are characteristics that must be in the selection class, but cannot be in the batch class.
See OSS note 33396.
1. If you want to search for batches on the basis of a remaining shelf
         life in batch determination, the system has to calculate a requested
         shelf life expiration date dynamically from the information you
         give.
     2. Add characteristic LOBM_VFDAT to the batch classes.
         For the revaluation of reference characteristics, refer to Note
         78235.
         Characteristics LOBM_RLZ and LOBM_LFDAT must not be included in the
         batch classes!
     3. Add characteristics LOBM_VFDAT, LOBM_LFDAT, and LOBM_RLZ to the
         selection classes.
         Maintain a remaining shelf life in the strategy records for batch
         determination. Relational operators (> , < , <= , >=) are considered
         in the dynamic calculation of the shelf life expiration date in
         batch determination.
From your note you have placed LOBM_RLZ and LOBM_LFDAT in your batch class. You cannot do that.

About the effect for batch level conversion from material to plant level

Dears,
Now we use batch management at material level in our system, now we want to change to batch level from material level to plant level, what effects or risks it will bring during the process of conversion?
Thanks a lot
Zhongkai

Hi
check the following SAP help link it is very helpful:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/es/d2/1d4b6e5733d1118b3f0060b03ca329/content.htm
at the link you can find the following
Specify batch level and activate status management
In this IMG activity, you specify the following:
the level at which batch numbers are unique
whether batch status management is active in the client
the plants in which batch status management is active
the initial status of new batches
Batch level
Batch numbers can be unique at the following levels:
at plant level
at material level
at client level for a material
If you choose plant level, the batch number is unique in conjunction with the respective material and the plant. If you choose material level, the batch number is unique together with the material. At client level, the batch number is unique in the whole client.
To change the batch level, you have to start a conversion program. This program first checks whether conversion is possible and outputs an error log containing all batch numbers that occur more than once at the new level. Now you need to manually transfer these batch records to numbers within Inventory Management using a transfer posting 'material to material'.
If you change the level from plant level to a higher level, it is possible that batches with the same batch numbers in different plants are actually identical. In this case, all you have to do is remove stocks (including previous period stocks) so that all batches with the same batch numbers, except one, can be reorganized.
When you convert from plant level to material level, the material is then to be handled in batches in all plants in which it is defined.
Standard settings
In the standard R/3 System, batches are unique at plant level.
Activities
To change the batch level, proceed as follows:
      1. Choose the level at which you want your batches to be unique.
      2. Save the new settings and choose Back.
      3. Select function Batch level -> Conversion.
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Further notes
Note that you cannot reset conversion from plant level to a higher level in the standard.
If you create a client by copying an existing client, initially, there are no settings in the target client at batch level. The system makes the settings in the target client only when you have carried out an activity (maintaining master data or posting a goods movement, for example).
SETTINGS BEFORE/AFTER CLIENT COPY:
Source client Target client
Client level Material level
Material level Material level
Plant level Plant level
Batch status management
Batch status management is an additional function provided by the standard R/3 System.
Standard settings
Batch status management is not active in the standard R/3 system.
Activities
To activate batch status management, proceed as follows:
      1. Choose Batch status management active.
      2. Save the new setting and choose Back.
      3. Choose Batch status management -> conversion.
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Further notes
Batch status management is linked to the batch level. At material and at plant level, the status management settings are valid within the client, that is for all plants. However, if you have defined batches to be unique at plant level, you have to select the plants in which status management is to be active using function Plants with status management.
If you activate status management, all existing batches are assigned status 'unrestricted'. If you deactivate status management, the systems transfers all restricted batches to unrestricted stock within conversion. Restricted stock only exists if status management is active.
If you create a client by copying an existing client, status management is automatically activated if batches exist in the target client, independent of the settings in the source client. If no batches exist in the target client, it is not activated. In this case, you have to activate or deactivate status management manually, if required.
Plants with batch status management
Activities
To select the plants in which status management is to be active, proceed as follows:
      1. Set characteristic Batch status management for those plants in which batch status management is to be active.
      2. Save your settings and choose function Back.
      3. Choose function Batch status management -> conversion
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Initial status of a new batch
Using this function, you can specify for each material type which initial status new batches are to be assigned. However, if you use a quality management system, this specifies the status of the batches.
Hope it will help
Best Regards

GRN Date or MB1C date should be considered for batch

Dear All,
Our customer wants to include GRN date (MIGO) and Goods posting date (MB1C) as a Characteristic for a batch.
And he wants the system to pick up these dates automatically for batch.
So in batches will be sorted out based on GRN (MIGO) or Goods posting (MB1C) date.
How to achieve this functionality.
