Automatic Confirmation of Vendor Changes

Hi friends,
We are developing a Z report to automatically confirm some modifications in vendors. On the first part of this Z report we describe an internal table and fill it with the vendor codes (field LIFNR) that need to be confirmed.
On the second part of the report we are suposed to update field LFA1-CONFS for these vendors, but direct updates of databse are banned (of course). I've found a function Module called "VENDOR_UPDATE" that could help, but it needs tons of mandatory tables, so I wonder if there is any other Function Module to update this field: LFA1-CONFS, or if someone can propose any other approach to this problem.
Many Thanks for your help.
Ignacio.

Hi Robert,
It looks you're right about VENDOR_UPDATE, it would be like a direct update so it's discarded.
About RFBIKR00 it looks that field CONFS is not allowed here so I doubt it is a way.
I am now thinking on the following commands:
set parameter id : 'lifnr' field aux_lfa1-lifnr.
call transaction 'FK08' and skip first screen.
As transaction FK08 is the correct one to confirm the changes and keeps a trace it looks the better approach. The problem is that I can't get this commands working fine, maybe I should add more parameters.
How can I know the parameters I can use with this command?
Thanks for your help. Your answer have been helpful and points have been assigned.
Kind Regards.
Ignacio.

PO confirmation creates PO change message

Hi.
I have setup a SRM -> XI ->SUS -> XI -> SRM scenario.
Everything is working fine accept that when the vendor confirms the PO and Sends the SUS PO confirmation the SRM automatically creates a PO change message back to the SUS system.
This causes the PO on SUS to go to "in process" state again.
Any idea why this is happening.
I do see this in the tracking tab under Chnage documents:
Status:
"Variance in PO Response Newly Added"
Many thanks
Rodney

Already i appended customized field in this table. Now i want to add one more column in this table control screen using any screen exits or BADIs.Is it feasible or not? if it is feasible,Pls give me further steps..

Automatic creation of Vendor in FI from Business Partner

Hi, experts!
We are looking into a process to automate the creation of vendor master data in FI Accounts Payable for our employees and to keep them in sync as employees' names, banking and address info change over time. We use concurrent employment, and we noticed that running PRAA as a mass-update job to create vendor records for all employees will create duplicate Vendors for employees who have more than one active Personnel Assignment.
We are now looking into the possibility of using the Business Partner as a means of pushing HR data into FI within the same ECC6 system. So far, we have been able to turn on the automatic creation of BPs when new employees are 'hired' into our test system via transaction PA40. We can also use the program HRALXSYNC to create the BP for existing employees. Once these BPs are created, master data updates flow from the employee master data in HR to the BP. However, we can't seem to get the system to automatically create a Vendor record for this BP and have that linked together at the same time.
Is this possible? If not, is there a transaction that can be run to do a mass creation of Vendor records for Business Partners that don't already have one?
I can see that our BPs have been assigned to the proper Role in table BUT100, and we have "define(d) vendor link for business partner roles" in V_TBC002 to be "vendor-based". What configuration step might we be missing?

Hi, Mahesh
Thanks for the response!! We have already created an entry in this table for Role Category = BUP003 (the SAP-delivered role category "Employee"). In this table, we have chosen the "Vendor Based" radio button, since we want Vendor master data to be created for all BUP003 business partners that are created.
Which function modules need to be activated via the SPRO path Cross-Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Data Distribution -> Activate Function Modules in order to have Vendors automatically created whenever a specific role of BP is created?
Thanks again for all your help!

How to avoid automatic confirmation of BP in Interaction Center

Hi Experts,
in SAP CRM when finding the correct BP the system automatically is confirming him. But I don't want the automatic confirmation. Where can I find the customizing so the user always has to use the button 'Confirm'.
Best Regards
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
You can change the configuration at your identification profile, at t-code CRMC_IC_BPPROFX
There, change the 'auto continue' options for your profile.

Automatic replication of vendor masters from SAP R/3 to EBP

Hi
For this issue I found the below program and steps to do the automatic replication of vendor master from SAP R/3 to EBP
PROGRAM BBP_VENDOR_SYNC
The program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC automatically synchronizes the backend vendors with the SRM system.
To run the program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC, you first have to make the following settings:
Path in the Implementation Guide (IMG):
Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server -->Technical Basic Settings -->Settings for Vendor Synchronization --> Make Global Settings
Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server -->Technical Basic Settings -->Settings for Vendor Synchronization --> Define Settings for Each Backend System
Then you have to make the following settings in transaction SA38:
· Enter program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC.
· Click on the pushbutton Background.
· Enter the report name BBP_VENDOR_SYNC.
· Either define a new variant or use an existing variant ( The new Variant as Test Vendor)
· Click on the pushbutton Schedule.
· Enter the job.
· Define the start date.
· Either schedule once or schedule periodically. Then you have to define the period interval.
I followed the above mention steps and I am able to setup the Schedule on timely basis and the job was completed successfully, but the vendors are not replicated successfully .
I am receiving the below error in transaction code SLG1.
1.The Specified Node does not Exist in the Org. Plan(Message no. BBP_VENR006).
2.No Vendor Replicated from Backend MD1CLNT(Message no. BBP_VENR017).
Please check and advice.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sadasivam,
Make Global Settings
Use
In Customizing for vendor synchronization, you define between which mySAP or ERP backend systems and the EBP System you wish to automatically synchronize the vendor master data. This setting is necessary in order to start a job-based execution of the synchronization, so that the vendor master data that is newly created or changed in the backend is updated regularly in the EBP System.
Requirements
You wish to use the automatic vendor synchronization functionality.
In the Implementation Guide (IMG) activity Define RFC Destinations, you have defined the RFC destinations for your systems.
Under Define Backend Systems, you have defined the backend systems for your systems.
Activities
Customizing for Vendor Synchronization consists of two parts. In the first part you make those settings that are valid for all backend systems. In the activity Make Settings for Each Backend System you can define or display detail data for the individual backend systems.
Make Global Settings
By setting the indicator Create New Vendors Also, you can determine that those vendors newly created in the backend systems are also newly created during the synchronization. If this indicator is not set, the only data updated is that of the vendors in the Enterprise Buyer System whose data was changed in the backend systems.
Note:
If you have not yet made an entry here, an empty screen appears when you start the activity. To make the settings, choose New entries or press F5.
Further Settings:
Carry Out Address Check for Duplicates :
Organizational Unit in EBP for the Vendor
Enter the eight-digit number, for example, 50001234.
Vendor Number Assignment Type
In the dropdown box, choose the method with which the number is to be allocated when a new vendor is created, for example, internal number allocation.
Hope this makes you more clear. My mail i.d is [email protected]

Automatic Payment to Vendors

Dear All
We woould like to change the automatic payment to vendor through "X" bank with a payment method "N". Earlier we used to make the payment through "Y" bank with a payment method "S".
In the configuration, we have activated the payment method "N" & changed the vendor master too. Also we changed the ranking order through " OBVCU " and given "X" bank as Rank-1 with the following combinations.
Payment Method = N
Payment Currency = INR
Rank Order =1
House Bank = X
However, we are unable to settle the automatic payment through F110 un less we change the house bank manually. The system is not picking by default. Also, we have checked the bank balance in the respective GL, the same is carrying the enough balance
Kindly adivse, do we have missed any configuration steps.
Regards
Anilkumar

Hi
Not only the Ranking order, but also check the entire Bank Determination as follows:
- Ranking Order
Payment Method = N; Payment Currency = INR; Rank Order =1; House Bank = X
- Bank Accounts:
House bank = X; Payment Method = N; Payment Currency = INR; Account ID = XXX Sub Account = 123456
- Available Amounts:
House bank = X; Account ID = XXX; Days = 0; Payment Currency = INR; Available for outgoing pmt = 99999999; Scheduled incoming pmt = 99999999
- Value Date:
Payment Method = N; House Bank = X; Account ID = XXX; Acount limit = 99999999; Payment Currency = INR
Hope this works.

Confirmation of Vendor and Customer General Data

Hi,
I have a following scenario. we want to allow the person with specific company code to confirm the vendor and customer data of his own company data.
User1 with Company Code C1
User2 with Company Code C1
User3 with Company Code C2
User4 with Company Code C2
Suppose User1 creates or changes the vendor data. Now only User2 with company code C1 should be allowed to confirm the changes using T-CODE FK09(for vendor) and not any other user 3 & 4 with Company code C2. and vice versa.
Is there any user exit in FK09 that will allow me to add these checks or any other possible solution.

Hi,
Define Shipping Data
Here in this step you maintain the customer number of the receiving plant. This customer number is used in SD shipping processing to identify the goods recipient (ship-to party) if stock transfer to be carried out with an SD delivery
A goods receipt can be planned in the receiving plant.
You can enter a vendor (transport vendor) in the stock transport order
In IMG step "Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".
You can assign sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location through Plant only.Means this Vendor is created for entering in the STO .This vendor is created for the the Plant (Supplying Plant)so as u can create STO.

Automatic multi backend vendor partial replication

Dear all,
we have a question around Vendor Replication:
Here is the scenario.
We are SRM 4.0 in Classic Scenario.
We have a Multi-Backend environment.
In addition we have a another R/3 serving as Central Vendor database (not MDM).
There the common vendors are created in a central (specific) number range but with minimal Purch Organization assignments.
Then the vendors are replicated to backends in a pull mode (via ALE).
Then there the additonal Purch Organisations are defined locally in the local Backends.
Then for SRM we want to replicate replicate same vendor for all BG's to be sure to have the correct Purchasing Organization assignments. And we want to have also all the vendors created in that range in SRM to give list of available vendors as preferred vendors to the requisitioners
However we don't want to replicate the local vendors that are Backend specific and are in another nr range.
To do all that we have available the transactions BBPGETVD and BBPUPDVD and the program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC.
The problem is:
a) BBPGETVD and BBPUPDVD have vendor nr selection but can not be set in a job.
b) BBP_VENDOR_SYNC is possible in a job but has no vendor selection and not choice only update or also new per system.
How can we achieve our goal?
Thanks

No Automatic confirm for TO from PC

Dear Expert,
I will use external racking system and use idoc to the interface. I have problem when using Posting change movement type 309, when source and destination bin is same bin. The TO showing the first line AS1 - 922 was automatically confirm and 2nd line 922 - AS1 no yet confirmed
Our scenario need that both of line item should not confirmed, and will confirm using idoc.
I already deactivate all setting auto confirmation in storage type, define movement type and interfacing movement type MM-WM.
There is any advise to deactivate automatic confirm, or any users exist?...
regards,
Irwan

Hello Irwan,
this is a unlikely behaviour for posting changes TOs.
In older releases (as far as I rembember), it was possible to get 1st item created unconfirmed but it was not possible to confirm the 1st item with a difference.
The difference behaviour is the reason why it does not make too much sense to leave the 1st item unconfirmed after creation, because it was - and is - still not possible to confirm it with a difference or use a WMCATO to cancel it.
So even if you manage to get it created unconfirmed and sent it by WMTORD, the only WMTOCO for this item is a confirmation, even if your subsystem does not find the stock/SU at the source bin. The difference hast to be reported in 2nd item all the time.
We integrated this in our subsystem by detecting a posting change TO with 1st confirmed item and do not create a WMTOCO for this item after executing the posting.
Best regards,
Matthias

EREC : To send automatic confirmation mail

hi experts,
Is possible to send automatic confirmation mail to the candidate's e-mail after competing application ?
can it be done through process template ?
Is there any standart workflows for this ?
Regards
Garayev

Hi,
I'd like to add a general thought
When I learned SAP workflow (I admit, quite some years ago) there was a rule that SAP delivered workflows are in every case only examples you can check to get an impression what the application is capable of but they are never meant for production use. So you should never use SAP workflows in production. You might copy them but I see this as an option only for one or two of the e-recruiting example workflows. The others are just unmaintainable if you add everything for a production scenario.
Similar rule applies to the SAP entries in customizing tables. While it is quite nice to use the e-recruitng search customizing from standard delivery as it is really a hell of work to do this from scratch, the activity customizing is anywhere between questionable and nonsense. Esp. with EhP 4 and above where SAP changed the application in a way that leads to new design recommendations for the acitvivity customizing but did not change the examples. The way to go is to delete the SAP entries and create a process and activity set really reflecting the project needs. So again the SAP example workflows won't match as you will have your ovn activity types.
Rgds.

Automatically confirm CR after Urgent Correction closed

How do we setup ChaRM so that when an URGENT CORRECTION is closed, the CR is automatically confirmed.
ie. Urgent correction > Imported to Production > Confirmed > Closed
(at this point the CR would automatically change from Approved to Confirmed)
Thanks!!

Hi shivjansi
I have checked the config in the IMG (as per your suggestion) and can confirm I have already set this up.
ZDHF E0008 SET_PREDOC
and
ZDHF E0010 SET_PREDOC
This should change the ZDCR status when the ZDHF is closed (E0008) or withdrawn (E0010). But it's not happening
With the ZDMJ I have added similiar config:
ZDMJ E0013 SET_PREDOC
and
ZDMJ E0014 SET_PREDOC
This is working fine for ZDMJ. When a ZDMJ is withdrawn (E0014), the ZDCR goes from Approved to Pending Approval. When a ZDMJ is closed (E0013), the ZDCR goes from Approved to Confirmed.
Just need to get ZDHF doing the same thing!
Shivjansi - is there something else I can look at for ZDHF to get this working? Thanks!!!

Service desk settings, automatic email status message change

Hi,
I'm working at Solution Manager 7.0 SP16. I've configured and working Service Desk scenario and it works. Now I'm trying configure automatic email at status change of messages, but It doesn't work
I'm following spro transaction, and SAP Note 691393. I am configuring Service Desk Specific Scenario Settings -> Automatic Email at status change.
I've checked:
- SCOT is correctly configured and working OK.
- Business partners emails are mantained.
I made the configuration suggested as described SAP Note 691303 SAP Tutor. Following SAP Tutor I go to transaction sppfcadm->select crm_order->botton "define action profile and actions"->Action Profile(left view) and SLFN0001_ADVANCED(right view)->mode change->new entry...   I follow the next slides at SAP Tutor.
At the end, when I check results, I go to the support message (transaction crm_dno_monitor) to edit-> Fast Entry->service process->status->In process and I press button save. So I go to Transaction data->Actions but any about the send mail action
Please could you help me??
Thanks and Regards
Raul Aguilar

Hi Mahantesh,

&CRM Service Process.User    =
Status&                                  E0002SLFN0001
I create a new support message (help->create support message) -> transaction crm_dno_monitor->open the support message just created->button change->fast entry->service process-> status->In process->button save
In order to test I go to Transaction data->Actions:
I've a line: wth a red circle, Action="send an email to author when status of message has changed" and start condition:
&CRM Service Process.User      =
