Barcodes in P2P process

Hi Team,
Scenario - Barcodes are generated in SAP and printed to POs.
I would like to know further process from here. If the Barcode is generated in SAP, where does it contain the relation between PO details and the Barcode number?
If PO is sent to the vendor along with the Barcode, and the goods are received against the PO, from where does the Barcode number bring all the PO details into MIGO?
While coming to Invoice, how to maintain a paper-less office using Barcode? ArchiveLink is an option, is there any suggestions on alternative ways?
How to enable an additional field in MIGO/MIRO for entering Barcode number/scan - is it to be done by ABAP team?

Akash

Experts,
Please help me.

Re-Using XML file from decode barcode + extract xml process

I was hoping someone could put me in the right direction here. I am decodeing the information stored in a 2D Bar code and sending this information to an XML file, then I am trying to combine that xml file with a blank PDF template but the process is failing beacuse there are some additional tag fields the XML data from the Decode->Extract XML process.
The XML file from the decode process gives the structure below..notice therer some extra tags (lines 2- 4)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
<xfa:datasets>
<xfa:data>
<form1>
The XML structure that is expected by the PDF template is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form1>
So the xml output of the Decode barcode + Extract XML process has three extra lines of tag. Is there a way I could use a process within liveCycle to clean out those three lines in real-time before sending the xml to be recombined with the PDF template.
Thanks

Hi,
What you may do is to use the SetValue and its xpath builder functions to "serialize" the xml into string, "substring" to remove the extra tags, and "concat" to add the extra tags and then "deserialize" it again to an xml to be merged with your form.

MM - P2P process Multiprovider

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement from MM & FI as follwos.
The ability to look at data from Shopping cart creation to invoice paid will show clearer visibility of where the issues are in the P2P process. Also indicate how long the process is taking from start to finish identifying where business improvements are required. Will provide the business with a clear picture of all aspects of spend and whether predicted or paid.
For the above requirement we were asked to build a Multi Provider using the following 3 ODS's
1.     0BBP_SC - Shopping Cart - Individual Documents
2.     0PUR_O01 - Purchase Order Items
3.     0FIAP_O03 - FIAP: Line item
We built the Multi provide, but we are not able to get the required data.
Please let me know whether I need to add other ODS or Cubes to get the required financial data for the shopping carts.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sri

Hello.
The requirement you are facing is very broad, as it sounds like your client wants a complete spend analysis. This can be done, but it's not enough to put three DSO's in a multiprovider - you will have to customize a lot more than that in order to offer all sorts of analysis... But if you "just" want a report on the time it takes from the creation of a purchase order to when the resulting invoice is paid, you can take the clearing date of the acc.doc in the AP DSO and substract the PO creation date from the PO DSO. You will have to go through the GL to match the PO number to the acc.doc.
Once you give your client this kind of analysis, they obviously want more details, fx on invoice handling. You can get some info from the workflow, but you will have to create a custom extractor for this...

P2P process with WM activated

Hi All,
Can you tell me what are the T-codes that i need to use in my P2P cycle if WM is activated.
After PO i do GR, do i have to use any other transaction before or after GR if WM is activated, similarly during Goods Issue do i have to use any other WM transaction.
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks,
Regards
Raghavendra

Hello,
If WM is activated the process flow go as follows;
For Goods Reciept:
Purchase order creation: (ME21N)>> Inbound delivery creation (VL31N OR VL10B)>> Transfer order may be created automatically or manually, if transfer order creation is automatic then WMTA output type needs to be set in transcation NACE for application tpe E1- Inound delivery.
Once inbound delivery is created you can create transfer order manually also.
Go to VL32N enter inbound deivery number, now to go to subsequent function and create transfer order and save.
Now to confirm the transfer order created go to LT12 ,enter the TO number and warehouse number and save it.
Now do the post goods reciept , with VL32N transaction.
For Goods Issue:
Sales order created (VA01)
Outbound delivery (VL01N OR VL10A)
Tranfer order creation: (Go to VL02N enter the delivery enter and got to subsequent function and create transfer order and save.
Confirm the transfer order (LT12 Go to Tranfer order in menu bar and press Confirm To)
Now do the post gooods issue (VL02N , press PGI tab)

Creating deliveries from purchase order -Plant to plant process

Hi All,
I am carying out delivery creation in P2P process from a purchase order . There are two bill to parties assigned in customer. When i create delivery for first bill to party , system creates only one delivery for all line items . But supposed i create delivery for second bill to partyy , the system creates diferent deliveries for each line item . It gives message as delivery split because the partners are different . Can anybody help me why this is hapening .
Note : i have already maintained "order combination tick " in customer master and also in PO line item level .
Thankls
Rohit Chavan

Just check in the Second Bill-to party the following points as per the Line Items:-
1. Shipping point
2. Route
3. Ship-to Party
4. Incoterms
If the above mentioned are different,then delivery will be splitted into many Deliveries.

Differences between the O2C processes in SD and CRM

Hi
Can anyone tell me the differences between OTC processes in CRM and R/3?
Thanks
Tarang

hi
before that you need to understand what is the difference between the sales and business process
here it is
normal scenario of identifying the customer and getting the money for what we sold to him or gave him service is called Business Process.It includes a lot of activities like Sales Order, Delivery Picking(what kind of picking), and Invoice(what kind of invoice).But, where as a sales procees is nothing but it includes up to how we sold to the customer, like in SAP we can say that only up to sales order.
or
The sales process which relevant sales scenario such as sales order, delivery and billing where as business process which contains finance, material and sales scenarios it is nothing but complete business of the organization.
Bussiness process defines way of defining your businees needs,which includes
what type of businees you are carrying out.
Producion scenario to plaaning for production ,storage and dispatching with sales requirements to selling terms.
Sales process is part of your defined process ,how you do business with customers.(categarization of customers to discount to rebate)
Hope this will put some light on this issue.
Cheers
or
Sales Process is equiv. to the Order to Cash Process (OTC) which is an outflow process meaning an outflow of goods in exchange for cash, whereas a business process is equiv. to Procure/Purchase to Pay (P2P) process which is an inflow process meaning source of goods - where are goods sourced?....internal supply, external supply - which is an inflow process where good are sourced by company.
or
Business process is the Macro and Sales process is the Micro.
The sales process is limited just till processing the Sales Order. The Delivery - The Transfer Order (In case WM is active) - The Shipment are all a part of the Distribution process.
The business process complies of the way the whole sales cycle is carried out and it could be right from the inquiry till the Accounting Document is cleared.
now O2C is order to cash it is placed when ever final purchase order lies with the manufacturer,till date and end date bot are specified
rest you can have from above post
hope it will serve your purpose
best regards

Queries on Fusion P2P (on cloud) and Oracle GL (on premise) coexistence

I have a few queries around co-existence model e.g Fusion P2P on Cloud with R12 GL on premise.
In the Oracle Enterprise Repository (OER) , there is a scenario for coexistence solution of Fusion P2P (on cloud) with Oracle GL (on premise). Assuming P2P is on a SaaS solution, i am looking for specific guidance around the following ..
1. What are the incremental steps / activities needed to connect the SaaS P2P environment with on-premise R12 environment? Is there any Oracle document that talks about these steps ?
2. Assuming that there is no change to the Legal Entities, Ledger and COA as existing in the on-premise environment; how will these common setups become available in the SaaS P2P environment. Same for employees defined in HRMS software. Does this need additional configuration activities (outside of the Procurement and Payables configuration) to be done in SaaS environment ?
3. Should there be a need to have a new ledger and/or BU for this Fusion P2P process , does this Ledger / BU need to be defined on the Cloud environment or on the on premise environment ?
4. In the Oracle packaged coexistence model for Cloud P2P with on premise GL - is Cash Management considered to be part of Cloud or on premise environment? The swimlane process in OER does not show Cash Management module ..
Thank You !!

Hi Vladimir,
the clickjacking protection you mentioned is indeed in place, but it is meant to prevent the embedding of Fusion Apps (incl. Sales Cloud) UIs into iFrames.
Your scenario seems to be the other way around: you want to embed content into an iFrame provided by Sales Cloud, right? In that case, the clickjacking protection of the embedded UI served by OBIEE comes into play. And since it's on premises, you hopefully have control over it (though I don't know how you control it since I am not an OBIEE expert). The way I typically test whether a page can be successfully iFramed is by building a very simple static html page hosted on a server somewhere, with its primary content being an iFrame for the desired page.
For further reference, I wrote about iFrame issues on our blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/fadevrel/entry/troubleshooting_embedded_web_content
Hope this helps!

Printing Barcode SAPSCRIPT

Hi All,
I have to print the barcode for the process card using transaction code Co04. I have assigned the barcode character format AUFNR to the value. I have the barcode.dll installed in my pc. But i am not able to see the barcode in print preview it shows just blocks can you give your inputs to slove this problem.
regards,
Bala

buy a third party software like Barcode.dll and install on your frontend PC connected to the laser printer.
Now you have a barcode printed - what next?
Well there are two options, depending on your business requirements:
- You can use an existing SAP transaction on a regular workstation and get a barcode wedge reader to hook up between the keyboard and the PC. These wedge readers comes in a wand or scanner format. There are even wireless wedge scanners available that allows you to roam a few yards from the workstation to scan a label. This approach is mostly used where you want to prevent human errors in typing in long material, batch or serial numbers in receiving or issuing of material. The problem is that it's just replacing the keyboard input and you are basically locked down in one location and have to bring all the material to that location to process.
- Another solution is to use SAPConsole transactions
or write your own ABAP Dialog programs that will fit onto a barcode enabled wireless handheld terminal and that will follow the business logic as executed on the shop floor.
These programs are highly complex exercises in industrial engineering and ergonomics because of the limited screen sizes and limited ability to accept keyboard input. The user is instructed step-by-step and only scan and push F-keys to interact with the SAP system. Scan, scan, beep, beep, enter - highly automated.
Barcode Standard
To Create a Bar code prefix:
1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix

GR IR account for Oracle Apps

Hello,
I am working in an environment where they are developing reports for SAP and Oracle. I have a situation where they have an account called GR IR (goods-receipt/invoice-receipt) in SAP.
How this account works is as follows.
In the P2P process, after the company sends in a PO to a supplier, three cases might arise.
-- Goods received by the Company but Invoice not recieved
-- Goods not received but Invoice received.
-- Goods received and Invoice Received.
So, During the first two scenarios, SAP has an Account called GR IR account which is an internal account that stores the invoice data, like amount, invoice date, orders etc..
I wanted to find out if Oracle has anything like that. Does Oracle applications has any internal account like GR IR account.
ANy help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

BobHi,
If you are asking about Oracle E-Business suite then all your reports will be developed using a user "APPS".
This APPS is like super user and has privileges to read all the invoice details.

Accrual & prepaid Issue

Our current as is process:
-     For certain type of expenses (like AMC, insurance, property taxes etc) , we pay to vendors in advance for 3 months/ 6 months/12 months as the case may be.
-     In order to process the payment, user has to do reception of services in the system for the complete invoice amount on day one itself and the entire amount hits the respective expense a/c on that day rather than getting amortized over the total service duration.
-     Subsequent to this, AP team books the invoices for payment processing in AP module and being transferred to GL module.
-     Thereafter, GL team identify such cases based on period mentioned in the narration and transfers the amount to prepaid a/c pertaining to future period.
The above process is error prone and manual on following two counts:
-     Cases where user has done the reception but invoices are yet to be booked by AP at period end. The entire amount goes to P&L.
-     In cases where invoices are booked by AP team – completeness is an issue as this activity is manual and primarily depends on narration mentioned by AP team.
ALL THE ABOVE ARE DONE THROUGH P2P PROCESS I.E. STARTING FROM REQUISITION TO PAYMENT.
Hence, request you to evaluate the implementation of following suggested to be process:
To be process:
-     The complete invoice amount should move to prepaid a/c on reception by the user.
-     It should get transferred to respective GL code at the end of every-month by running the accrual engine or something equivalent.
Please evaluate the above or any other similar solution to avoid the issues mentioned above. In case of any query, please let us know.

HI
If you have created different links for each grade, then whenever the grade will change the old linked element entry will get end dated and new entry will get created as per your link definition for that grade. As far as absence is considered it will consider it as if one absence is end dated and new absence is assigned. In this case you will have to build a mechanism of transferring the old available balance whenever there is a grade change, but this is not the recommended approach at it will lead to lot of maintenance activity.
Whenever you design the absence solution try to create all the links a open links and try to manage the accrual into the formula as this is a salable mechanism which has minimum maintenance work and if in future you have any change in accrual logic you will have to only change the formula and not to worry about the link definition balance transfers ete etc..
Hope you get clarity and design the solution accordingly.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Release Strategy of Procurement in BI Content?

Hi,
Is there any standard datasource about Release Strategy of Procurement in BI Content?
Any helpful suggestion, I will give points.
Thanks.
Stephen

There are couple of approaches that can be taken with this issue since there are delivered extracters exclusively for Purchasing Requisitions.
1) Piggy back on PO ITEM Extracter (2LIS_02_ITM) or PO Schedule Line Extracter (2LIS_02_SCL).
Purchasing Requisition/Items (Table EBAN, TCODE ME53) are uniquely linked to PO/Item (Tables EKPO, TCODE ME23N).
PO Item (EKPO-EBELN & EKPO-EBELP) are linked to (EBAN-BANFN & EBAN-BNFPO).
Based on this you can extract the required fields from EBAN in the User Exit for PO ITM or PO SCL extracter.
This is what I did but my case was not same as yours. We primarily need PO Item/SCL information with some pertinent attributes from the requisitions
Pros: No need to write a seperate extracter.
Cons: If there are any requisitions that are not converted to PO's they will not be included in extraction till such time they are actually converted to PO's
2) As Bala indicated , Create a Custom extracter based on Table EBAN.
Pros: All Requisitions are extracted regardless of whether they have been converted to PO's.
Cons:
1) I am not certain if Generic Delta will successfully trigger all Changes to the Requisitions (depending on how the P2P process is configured for your Project).
2) If Delta does'ent work in all scenarios then a FULL load might be very difficult to manage based on the Data Volume.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Automatic purchase info record

how do you create automatic purchase info record, what are the steps to do it, and how that helps in p2p process?

Hi,
While creating external purchasing documents ( like PO) in item details materials tab infoUpdate check box is there
Info record update
Determines whether the prices and conditions of this purchase order item are suggested in future PO items.
Use
Selecting InfoUpdate causes one of the following situations to occur:
        If just one info record (with or without plant) exists, it is updated.
        If no info record exists and "plant condition requirement" was specified in Customizing, an info record with plant is created. Otherwise, an info record without plant is created.
        If two info records exist (that is, one info record with plant and one without plant) the info record with plant is updated.
Dependencies
You can specify that prices and conditions in purchasing info records are only allowed at plant level in the Purchasing IMG, under Conditions -> Define Condition Control at Plant Level.
Other Purchasing documents Scheduling agreement, Quotations (me47) Choose the required line item and click on the "item detail" icon and put the necessary value for info update
Indicator: Update Info Record
Determines whether:
    The purchasing info record for this vendor and material is to refer to this PO item, and
    The item is to be valid for the entire purchasing organization or just for the plant.
Use
The indicator determines which prices and conditions are suggested in future PO items.
Prices and conditions can apply to an entire purchasing organization or to a single plant within a purchasing organization.
For example, if you create a purchase order for a plant for which an info record has been defined at plant level, the purchase order is based on the conditions in the plant info record and not on the conditions that apply to the purchasing organization.
Procedure
Enter the relevant plant key:
A
Updating of the document number is effected at plant level as long as there is a purchasing info record at plant level. Otherwise the document number is updated at purchasing organization level.
B
Updating is effected at plant level if plant conditions are allowed for the plant.
C
Updating is effected without plant data if plant conditions are not necessary for the plant.
Dependencies
The level at which updating of the document number may be effected is defined for each plant.
Hope it clears.

PO Approval Date in Purchasing module

Hello,
I am working in Oracle 11i, I need to find out which column can I use for PO Approval Date?
Since am working in P2P process, I posted this in Financials forum.
Thank you
BOb

Hi Bob,
Check for APPROVED_DATE column in PO_HEADERS Table
OR
In PO_ACTION_HISTORY table check for your Object ID ( It is your PO_header_id), on the retrieved records, where the Action_code is APPROVE you should consider the ACTION_DATE .. which is your Approval Date..
