Budget control during PO generation

Dear Sir,
We make the PO against the Account Assignment . The Account Assignment is the WBS Element . We use Project System and mention the Budget against the WBS Eleement .
Sir , we desire that at the time of PO saving , System should check the Budget Balance and should not allow to save the PO incase it exceed the Budget Balance amount .
Kindly guide us as what steps are required to have this check pl .
Regards
B Mittal

Hi
If you have maintained the Budget in the WBS elemnt as per the Standard Process the Sytem will stop you to Create or Save the PO once Budget is exceeded.
THis Check is already maintained in the System, Just ensure that Budgetary control is maintained for the PO.
Thanks & Regards

OWB 11.2 internal error during mapping generation

Dear all,
Ever since switching to OWB 11.2 I have been sporadically receiving unexplicable errors during mapping deployment. It only happens when I generate more than 1 mapping simultaneously, and it appears to be completely random. One or more mappings will fail during the generation phase of the deployment with an 'internal error', after which I get the option to continue deployment of those mappings that did generate correctly. What I usually do next is trying to deploy the failed mappings again, which always works - the internal error does not reoccur. But it seems to be that this second generation does not work properly either.
For example, today I had to redeploy my entire set of mappings, due to a server change. Of the 60 mappings I had, about 5 failed with the forementioned error. (Sadly I can't include the exact error here since the job logs in the control center do not record this failure to generate, it looks like the failed mappings never were included in the job in the first place.) One of them I deployed aftewards, and found the query in the pacakge to look like:
    INSERT
    /*+ APPEND */
    INTO
      "SA_BETMD_01" "SA_BETMD_01"
      ("DEWNKNR",
      "DEBTMCE",
      "DEBTMOM",
      "DEBTMO2",
      "DEBTMO3")
      (SELECT
/*+ NO_MERGE */
/* DRBETMD_RS.INOUTGRP1 */
"DRBETMD_RS"."DEWNKNR" "DEWNKNR",
"DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMCE" "DEBTMCE",
"DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM" "DEBTMOM",
NVL("DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMO2", "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM")/* ATTRIBUTE NVL_BTMO2.OGRP.DEBTMO2: EXPRESSION */ "DEBTMO2",
NVL("DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMO3", "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM")/* ATTRIBUTE NVL_BTMO3.OGRP.DEBTMO3: EXPRESSION */ "DEBTMO3"
FROM
"SRC"."DRBETMD_RS"@"SRCDBP@SAFE_SRC_PRD_RET" "DRBETMD_RS"
    ;However, generating the preview code in OWB results in a more correct and complete version of the code:
    INSERT
    /*+ APPEND */
    INTO
      "SA_BETMD_01" "SA_BETMD_01"
      ("DEWNKNR",
      "DEBTMCE",
      "DEBTMOM",
      "DEBTMO2",
      "DEBTMO3",
      "DEBTMO4")
      (SELECT
/*+ NO_MERGE */
/* DRBETMD_RS.INOUTGRP1 */
"DRBETMD_RS"."DEWNKNR" "DEWNKNR",
"DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMCE" "DEBTMCE",
"DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM" "DEBTMOM",
NVL("DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMO2", "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM")/* ATTRIBUTE NVL_BTMO2.OGRP.DEBTMO2: EXPRESSION */ "DEBTMO2",
NVL("DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMO3", "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM")/* ATTRIBUTE NVL_BTMO3.OGRP.DEBTMO3: EXPRESSION */ "DEBTMO3",
NVL("DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMO4", "DRBETMD_RS"."DEBTMOM")/* ATTRIBUTE NVL_BTMO4.OGRP.DEBTMO4: EXPRESSION */ "DEBTMO4"
FROM
"SRC"."DRBETMD_RS"@"SRCDBP@SAFE_DGN_PRD_RET" "DRBETMD_RS"
    ;The same goes for other packages, all of which crash due trying to insert NULL values in a mandatory column! (In case, DEBTMO4.)
Funny enough, if I generate the mapping again a bit later - without making any changes to the mapping - the code is complete and everything works properly.
Does anyone else ever had this problem? My main problem is that I can't just reproduce this problem, so I can't exactly report it as a bug and expect it to be solved...
Kind regards,
Kurt Geens

Good morning Dave,
I do mean during deployment. As you probably know all too well, the deployment of a package is split in two parts: generation of the code, and the actual deployment. The internal error occurs during that first part - the generation of code. The exact steps I went through when the error occured are the following:
1) I selected about 15 mappings, and chose to 'replace' these mappings in the database. The code was generated, with 4 mappings having the forementioned 'internal error'. After pressing the play button the deployment of the 11 remaining packages continued without problem.
2) Within the same session, I selected the 4 failed mappings, and chose to 'replace' these again. The generation and deployment was succesful - no internal errors occured.
3) I exited OWB and started a daily workflow process. One of the mappings that had an internal error in step 1 crashed with a 'cannot insert null into' error.
4) I restarted OWB, opened the mapping, chose to generate the code, and compared the generation result with the package code in the database. This resulted in the difference mentioned in my original mail.
5) I deployed (replace) the mapping once more, and verified the code in the database. This time the code was complete (no missing column).
Regards,
Kurt

Beginning Balance of Accumulated Repair Cost and Budget Control

Hi All,
My client has two requirements which I have problems working on in SAP.
1. How do we put the beginning balance of accumulated repair cost of each equipment? Example Equipment A had $ 40, 000 worth of repairs prior to the company's use of SAP, and this balance becomes the initial balance during repair cost reporting (thus if the first work order issued for that equipment in the SAP system costs $5,000, accumulated cost in cost analysis shatll be $45, 000 alread) .
2. How do we implement budget control in Plant Maintenance, such that a work order that is over budget cannot be released? or needs to be approved by another more superior user before release?
Thanks, answers would be of great help.
Regards,
Andrew

Andrew,
I suspect the only way to do this without Asset Accounting is to create a bespoke ABAP report. You would also need a customer table to hold the repair cost/equipment data. Alternatively, if you have a cost object per equipment (say cost centre) then you could add this value to the cost centre. Either way I would discuss the issue with you finance team first.
In terms of budgetting; this can be done 3 ways:
- Investment programs (IM)
- Projects and WBS (PS)
- Individual maintenance orders (PM)
You can set threshold parameters which determine if the order can be released..

Budget controlling for PO using internal order

Dear experts ,
can anyone tell me the step by step procedure to have a budget controlling on PO based on budget ?
Regards
anis

Dear Anis,
Create Statistical IO and assign budget to them. Then at the PO enter A at the Account assignment or K and you enter the IO number.
If you want the system to check for budget go to SPRO -> Controlling -> Internal Orders -> Budgeting and Availability Control you define Budget RPofile etc and at the selection 'Define Tolerance Limits for Availability Control' you define for you Company code how the system reacts during PO creation. You give tolerances to display messages if the budget is close to depletion etc
Bare in mind that PO create commitments and when the invoices are posted the amount becomes actual. You can check report S_ALR_87013019.
Hope it helps. Generally i have used it, it is very good solution and easy to implement.

Hi,
This is a standard SAP behavior. You may assign any DUMMY commitment item in FM derive for Consumption G/L. Create a derivation rule based on G/L and wherever you dont want budget control, put dummy commitment item. Goods receipt and issue are two different flow. As you said, fod goods issue, there is no reference of corresponding goods receipt. Thats the reason why this happens.

Sudeep.

Project-Internal Order Budget Control

Concerning on the Internal Order Budget in SAP, we have the following questions & need clarification :
1) Since the promotion involving SD module, could we enhance the SD module with Internal Order functions & budget control as well? According to the SAP help desk documentation, its possible, pls provide guidelines.
2) I've checked on SAP helpdesk that budget data (including sales & promotion) could capture in COPA via I/Order & pricing conditions. Could we use budget cost in COPA to control the sales & promotion posting in SD module ? pls provide guidelines. We had just implemented COPA with plan but not budget. Could we add this budget as new value field ?
3) I/Order can be updated through different cost elements but would system allow us to control budget by each cost element but only using one for all the cost element ? According to the helpdesk, we could split the I/Order budget by cost centres, transaction group or budget object. Does this similar to our requirement ?
4) I/Order Budget will control the spending by actual posting data or commitment ? Could we control both at once ? Example :
Budget             500k
Actual posting     300k
Commitment     300k
Budget              -ve 100k not +ve 200k
5) Concerning on the issuance of Credit note requisition (CRQ), if we using manual process as entry as Park document then post to FI (currently) and not using PR/PO process, then, how would we have commitment data ?
6) During year end, we may need to perform closing and carry forward the I/Order budget and commitment balance to next fiscal year. Does this mean that controlling need to perform period close also and order settlement even its statistical I/Orders ? we didn't practice this in controlling currently.
7) I/Order budget is control annually. Once the budget I/Order completed fully, it cannot be used again. Hence, does this mean that we need to have different set of I/Order for different year?
Please feedback to us the above soonest possible.
Thanks..............
Elaine

Lot's of questions;
1) At the time of entering a sales order you can enter an Internal oder number as well. That then could be used as part of a tracking process.
2) You control the budget by setting up availability control. Then at the time of entry it checks against the budget to see if you are within you tolerances. Youn can also have reporting in COPA to compare actual to plan and budgets. But there won't be the availablity control. It will be analytical reporting instead.
3)The budget for internal orders is one total. You won't be able to set it up for different cost elements there.
4)The availability control looks at all the components. Yes you can control both
5)The credit will be picked up when posted as an actual posting
6) You will need to do carryforward for all I/O.
7) You can set up the budgets to be for a particular year not overall for I/O.
try to limit the size of your questions in the future to make the response easier
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

Error during context generation

Dear Friends,
In interactiveForm UI, when i put adobe form name in Templatesource and try to generate context automatically,
i get an error message ' Error during context generation ' and an empty context node is created.
i manually create attributes under that node and populate them in wddoinit method.
but i dont get those values on PDF output.
What may be the error ??
Kindly suggest.

Hi Otto,
I want to display data of an internal table in adobr form using web dynpro abap and adobe interactive form.
my web dynpro abap application is ready and adobe form is also ready.
when i integrate adobe interactive form on WDA and put form name in TEMPLATESOURCE and press enter
it throws an error message - 'Error in context generation' and an empty node is generated in WDA.
on running the application adobe form is displayed but no data is displayed.
what may be the error ?
i maintained attributes of node manually but then also no data is displayed.
that means data binding is not successful.
what may be the case ???
kindly suggest

An error has occurred during SWF generation.

Hello
We are receiving the error message "An error has occurred during SWF generation. Please contact the file creator or your system administrator" while trying to publish a dashboard to the BO server. But we haven't been able to assure the client what's causing the problem.
Here is some background about the dashboard and the error:
- It does not contain any unsupported formulas.
- It contains about 3,000 rows distributed on different tabs.
The error appears to happen randomly. I have succesfully exported the swf file locally (on my computer) a couple of times. Using the preview button also works sometimes, but when we try tu publish we get the error. We also have other dashboards, and publishing them works fine with them.
I think this might be a resources issue, the computer from which we are trying to publish has 2GB in RAM, and although it doesn't seem to be consuming all memory when trying to publish, it looks pretty close to do so.
I've succesfully deployed the swf file on locally on an other computer that has 8GB in RAM, but it is not in domain, so I cannot publish from there, and due to company's policy we cannot copy the swf files directly to the server.
I'm looking for help on the error, or for an explanation on what does Xcelsius do when generating the swf, for the tests I've run I would say it is a resources problem but I don't have a way to support this.

Hi,
You can try to reduce the size and complexity in excel.
Just export your excel to local machine, open and save it again reimport the same excel.
By doing so your excel file size will get reduced. (To see the difference record the size when exported from xcelsius and after saving xls).
One more suggestion is try to reduce the complex formulas. All i can say is replace the Vlookup formulas with Match and Index.
Reduce if more countif() or Sumif() are used.
Last but not least, try to increase flashs buffer size.
Hope this might help you.
If these things are not going to work......... Last option is to increase your machines RAM.

Budget Control at top level WBS only

Hello All,
I have a requirement from client where I need to activate the Budget control (90% warning and 100% error). I have done the setting accordingly.
Now the scenario is such that when client is doing budgeting, they are allocating the budget only at top level WBS (they have a different legacy, where they are doing there detail planning n budgeting, but since they want the feature of budget control in PS, they will do minimal budgeting in PS). As per my settings when I budget top level WBS and save the availabity control is activated (with no budget on lower level WBS). Now when I try to do some postings/or assign that WBS to PO, even with a value of 1 USD, i am getting an error of budget exceeded, which is fine as per the settings as that WBS is having 0 budget.
The requirement from client side is such that they want AVAC to be activated only at top WBS and do postings to lower WBS. But if the total of lower WBS exceed the budget of top WBS, they should get an warning or error. For example:
WBS level BUDGET ACTUALS
1               100
2                              50
2                              50
so as soon as the actuals touch 100, the system should give an error/warning. Note that the 2nd level WBS are not budgeted in SAP, so budget is 0 on them.
I have 2 questions:
1.Is it possible to activate AVAC only for top WBS ?(without any enhancement/development)
2.How the AVAC will work, if the total of 2nd level WBS exceeds the budget of top WBS (as explained in example above)?
Awating your replies.
Thanks
Sarang

Thanks Virendra, it was useful.
I tried other way round also i.e. by not marking the release tab in OPS9 and activating AVAC in CJ30.It works in that way too.
For my other question, regarding activating AVAC only at top level, we can achiebve that by using transaction control in user status.
Thanks
Sarang

VLD-1141: Internal error during mapping generation.

I am getting the "VLD-1141: Internal error during mapping generation" error when deploying a mapping. This mapping was previously working fine. As part of a re-factoring effort, for all the underlying tables and views, we replace 2 existing columns with a new column. All the objects were successfully re-imported and synchronized in the mapping. The mapping is using Mapping Input Parameter, Lookups, Expression Transformations, Splitter, Set Operator, Source & Target Tables. All these transformation were part of the earlier working version of the mapping.
On doing validation within the mapping, I get a success message followed by 4 warning for the Lookup Condition on key Lookup does not contain a complete unique key. Before the re-factoring effort, I was getting the same 4 warning messages, however the mapping was executing correctly.
When I do Generate within the mapping, I get the following message:
Code cannot be generated.
Click the message tab for details.
In the Design Center, when I do a validation on the mapping I get the following error:

Hi,
I think your mapping is corrupted by converting two columns to one. The owb has always a problem if you change the structure of a table which is bound to a table operator. The way to avoid this is to drop the table operator after changing the table in the table editor and recreate it with the changed table definition.
Make a test: select the new attribut in the table operator and look left on the configuration window. To which table and attribute it's bound?

How do we enable Variable Substitution during Contract Generation

Hello experts,
I am working with the Contract Generation Variable Library and according to some of the Help documents, it is possible on the Contract Tokens to override the default values during Contract Generation.
I am not sure why, but on our system, this function doesnt seem to work.
So for eg, if my token "Valid From" picks up the value from the system, it becomes non-editable.
Effective Date | <%Agreement.EffectiveDate%> | 26-08-10
I would like to override the value 26-08-10 before the Document is generated.
Please let me know if anyone has faced this problem before and found a solution.
Thanks & Regards,

I kept searching through MSDN and found a page that describes SqlPackage.exe (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh550080(v=vs.103).aspx). This page says that SQLCMD variables
can be specified on the command line.
"SqlPackage.exe initiates the
actions specified using the parameters, properties, and SQLCMD variables specified on the command line."
The page does not describe the syntax for specifying SQLCMD variables nor whether values specified on the command line overwrite any values in the .dacpac file. Can somebody confirm that specifying SQLCMD variable values on the command line will overwrite
any values included in the .dacpac at build-time?

Determine Lines in Table Control During BDC

Hello
I am trying to determine the number of lines shown on a screen for a table control during a BDC session. I know the number of lines shown in the table can be different as users can have different screen size, fonts, etc. My goal is to know how many lines are on the screen in the table so then I know how far I have to page down before I can select the appropriate line I want and then proceed with the BDC. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Eric
If you use CALL TRANSACTION to run your BDC you can resolve your problem passing the parameters OPTIONS FROM <your structure> with these informations:
<your structure>-DISMODE = 'N'. "BackGround
<your structure>-UPDMODE = 'S'. "Synchronous
<your structure>-DEFSIZE = 'X'. "This field indicate that screen will be in standard size. So the lines you have in transaction SHDB will be always the same.
*The <structure> will be like CTU_PARAMS.
CALL TRANSACTION <tcode> OPTION FROM <your structure>.
Have some ways to count the lines during the execution of BDC, but I need to find in my programs.

An error occurred during swf generation

Hi I have a spread sheet has quite a lot of formulas in it,
eg..
=COUNTIF()
=COUNT($H$2:$H$65536)-COUNTIF($H:$H,"<51")-COUNTIF($H$2:$H$65536,">60")
=DCOUNTA($A$1:$L$15099,10,M38:N39)
=IF(V18=0,0,IF(V18=1,IF(W18=0,0,IF(W18=1,IF(X18=0,0,IF(X18=1,1))))))

=SUMIF($L$2:$L$65536,BN6,$U$2:$U$65536)
=SUMIF($BC:$BC,$BS2,BE:BE)
all of which seem to be supported in xcelcius engage 2008 (sp3)
but when i try to preview the dash board I get the "an error occurred during swf generation and so on" error
I have checked all of my addins on excel and disabled them all,
I have checked to see if there is any blue tooth settings in the registry, (all seems ok (none))
Does xcelcius have limitations on file size? My file is 23,852KB
My calculations are based on a maximum of 15000 rows
I'm desperate for some kind of solution as this has now been driving me nuts for 5 days
Steve

DCountA does work! :
I had a similar issue with Xcelsius and DCOUNTA does work! NOTE: DCOUNTA does work, however, it doesnu2019t perform the same way that it does in Excel (which is very confusing). In my case, in excel when I left a criteria cell blank, it would basically omit that criteria. As if to say in SQL (Considering fields County, Industry and Class)
Select * From Table Where County = Wicomico, MD AND Industry = Retail
However, once compiled as an SWF it was as if it were saying:
Select * From Table Where County = Wicomico, MD AND Industry = Retail AND Class = u201Cu201D
Sou2026to make it work you must use the WILDCARD Operator * in the criteria cell to indicate ALL.
Select * From Table Where County = Wicomico, MD AND Industry = Retail AND Class = *
And it worksu2026
See a modified example dashboard of the difference between * and u201Cu201D at: http://staff.salisbury.edu/~jrgarrity/dcounta.swf

An Error Occurred during CHART Generation in BI Launch Pad 4.0

Hi Guys,
I am creating a report on BI launch Pad, the query result shows fine in the "Table" format but when i "Turn Into" chart it gives me an error " An Error Occurred During chart generation, The chart cannot be displayed".
I created the same report in Rich Client and everything is working fine but on the portal the charts cannot be displayed.
Let me know if anyone has faced this error or has any solution for it.
Thanks in Advance,
Sheikh Hassan Ayub

try the following:
1) We created a new Adaptive Processing server by stopping the existing one.
2) Enabled and Started the new server.
3) And now you were successfully able to Create, Open and Modify any web Intelligence reports in BI Launchpad.
It worked for me.
But the problem is that i had to re create the charts in BI launch pad, the old charts didnt work.
If you have any other solution let me know.
