Automating the process of equipment creation

Hi,
I am Pretty new to this domain. i want to know some basic functionality on CS processing. As i know we are make use of equipment master for the warranty related information and against this we are creating notification. My question is can we take serial number as reference object and is there any why in which the equipment master can be automated with all the sales information to avoid the data entry process. Please apologies in case you find the question meaning less.
With Regards

Hi,
Welcome to the FORUM.
Yes It should be possible. as follows:
As you are Maintaining Serial Number profile, you would have assigned to Material Master , in that there is an option to check for automatic Equipment creation, so when you make delivery with serial No. you mention Serial No. in "Extras" > Serial No. Field. (in VL01N), In the Display Box after entering the serial no. Please check the "Eqpt" Box, This enables you to get equipment created automatically, then you do PGI, billing.
So We can control w.r.t Serial No. for the Equipments at Sales order level, or even at Delivery level.
Now In order to Update your equipment details you try with "LSMW" use either "VA01u201D (Ref, Sales order) or "VL01N" (Ref. Delivery Doc.) Here you do proper Field Mapping for the required sales details including Serial No.s etc.
Hope this should work out.

DSR

I am automating the process of sending appointment reminders to my clients. I started with an alert with an email in calendar using the clients email address as a custom entry in my me card in my contacts. this was resulting in three emails being sent with slightly different versions of the same address (see my previous post). Heating someone else's suggestion I created a workflow file to send an email and calling that file from an alert on my calendar. This is working and sends only one email to the client.
My calendar is on I cloud and I access it from three different computers so I can keep my appointment calendar current. The files that send the email only exist on one computer. My other computers show error messages when those emails get sent. It seems that each computer wants to send the email. It's a small problem but is there a way that I could not get those alerts.
But appreciate any thoughts about this. It seems like both problems might be related to the iCloud system.
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Good work, catch so far Michael, does seem to be a "feature" of iCloud syncing, not sure what you could do to disable it.

Automating the process of changing SAP servers when one server is down

Hi,
We have observed that sometimes users are unable to run a CRM IC web application due to server being down.
So we want to automate the process that if a server is down then it will change to another server so that the application can run and the downtime is reduced.
Can you please let me know if anyone has done anything on this front.
Kindly send your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Jaisish Mohanty

You can use sapwebdispatcher together with logon groups for this purpose:

Starting Https service : automating the process.

Hello.
We're trying to automate this process under windows NT (wich is not so
hard, net start ....) but :
The process waits for the password (trust database ?)
Is there any mean to automate this (command line, iplanet configuration ?)
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Create a password.conf file under config directory of the SSL instance (a
text file) and put the password as a plain text in that file.
It should read as
Communicator Certificate DB : <password that you have set>.
But this has got a high security risk as the password is a plain text and is
not recommended.
Thanks,
Srivatsan.

Hi
Data Creation in Idoc
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

Strock transfer process - Automating the document creation/flow

Hi,
I am working on an implementation of ECC6 where the client has a requirement to automate creation of many of the system documents.
We are following the standard SAP BBP J51: Internal Procurement (Stock Transfer With Delivery). To summarise the BPP, the following process is followed:
Stock Transfer (Purchase) order is created -> Outbound delivery is created with ref to the PO -> Picking/Goods Issue is done by the sending plant against the Outbound Delivery -> Inbound delivery is created -> Goods are Goods Receipted into the receiving plant.
Our client has a requirement that the process is done as follows:
- PO/Stock Transfer (ST) is manually created when a ST is required.
- On Saving of the ST, the Outbound Delivery is automatically generated by the system with reference to the PO/ST.
- The Picking is done and the Goods Issued.
- On saving the Goods Issue, the inbound Delivery is created with reference to the outbound delivery or PO/ST (or creation can be done at the same time as the creation of the Outbound Delivery).
- Goods Receipt is then manually completed by the receiving plant and the process is complete.
After searching various forums, I have found some people say it can only be done through ABAP customisation and and others who say that from version ECC6 onwards it can be done via SPRO config. The instructions I have found on how to do this via Config were unclear and I was unable to get the process working. I have been unable to find any information on this through help.sap.com or OSS notes.
If anyone is able to provide the steps required to set this up or a link to reference documents i can use to find the answer, it would be much appreciated. Please advise if you need more info.
Thanks

Automated TR creation while release the Process Order

I have to split the quantity into smaller units based on the ‘LE quantity’ before TR creation. In transaction LB03, there should be additional line items after the quantity split.
I am using the EXIT ‘EXIT_SAPLLCPP_001’. It is triggering during the transaction run. But it doesn’t serve the purpose.
Can anyone help me to achieve this functionality?

Hi,
In Process Order Header Screen Go to ---> Log ---> On Release.Here you will find the detail error behind this problem.Go though it .Resolve it and then try to release the Process Order, and if required get back to us.
Suppose reason may be,
- Missing part
- Missing Capacity
- Batch Determination is required to perform.
- Any User Exit (Other then std. SAP)

Assignment of the asset during the equipment creation

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on the PM-AA interface which consists in linking the asset field (ITOB-ANLNR) of an equipment with the asset number given in the purchase order. The goods receipt (MIGO) creates automatically an equipment (thanks to the serial number profile of the materiel).
As the purchase order contains the asset, I expected that the system would put this value in the corresponding field of the equipment.
In the customizing, we have made the following changes :
- equipment is modified synchronously with tha asset modification
- the assignment of master data fields of assets and equipment includes the asset fields itself
- the serial number profile is assigned to the material and allow the creation of the equipment during the goods receipt.
Has someone already experienced this case? What do I have to do to have the asset number saved in the equipment during its creation?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for you answer.
I've already checked these customizing aspects but tjey are not saisfying enough : my customer wants the equipment to be created at the goods receipts in order to save the serial number registered during the reception.
Furthermore, I'm not sure of the process if I create the equipment formerly : will it take into account the material and serial number that are given during the reception of the goods? And how does the system react with more than one equipment?

Without equipment creation serial number required at the time of delivery?

Dear SAPIENTS,
Without equipment creation serial number required at the time of delivery? In customizing i have defined that equipment not required in serialization profile. But still i am getting equipemnt number at the time of delivery of sales order.

Dear Venu,
You want to generate Alphanumeric Serial Number that is possible by following Enhancement for Serial Numbers:
Pls find here some details about generating alphanumeric serial numbers as below :
You can generate alphanumeric serial number with the following BADI / Customer Exit:
Name of Enhancement : IQSM0001
Name of Function Module Exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001
Name of Include : ZXQSMU01
ZXQSMU01:
This user exit can be used to create the serial numbers automatically for material of a production order. Number of serial numbers generated will be equal to the total number of quantity. The purpose behind development of this user exit was to attach prefix in each serial number generated.
so as per your requirement you can generate serial number like ABC0001 etc.
Process Steps:
For exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001
1. Get serial number profile for a material in respective plant.
2. Check if the profile is u2018XYZu2019.
3. If profile is u2018XYZu2019 generate the serial numbers for the given quantity of material in production order.
General Program Structure
For exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001
1. Get the serial number profile using function module 'MARC_SINGLE_READ' for a material.
2. Check if the profile is u2018XYZu2019.
3. If the serial number profile is u2018XYZu2019 then generate the serial numbers for the given production order quantity of a material.
4. Concatenate ABC as a prefix to the all generated serial numbers
Provide above details reg. implementation BADI / Enhancement to your ABAPer and go ahead.
You can implement above Enhancement in CMOD.
Hope this helps.
Revert in case of any doubt.
Award points if useful.
