Business scenarios for the Steel industry

Dear All,
I need the various business scenarios used in the steel industry for the procurement and inventory management. In case anyone have worked on an implementation project for Steel industry can you please guide me which are the major scenarios common to all steel industries?
Thanks.

Hi,
Here are a few scenarios which I have worked:
1.Steel is usually procured in the form of plates of different dimensions (length, width & thickness).
To capture this, you can activate material class (class 001) for material master.
You can create your own class and have these dimensions as characteristics.
While creating material codes, you can capture the dimensions as characteristic values..
This way, you can maintain the uniqueness of material codes in the system.
2. Steel is usually procured in bulk from various sources, both domestic and imports.
As such, the price of the same material may vary depending upon the source and also when it was procured.
Hence, it becomes a necessity to manage the different lots separately.
You can activate batch management in inventory or better still, Split valuation by batch to handle this.
3. If steel is procured for specific project, then the purchase requisition/purchase order will be for specific Project (WBS element).
   This means you will be working with a/c assign.categ "Q"
4. You can have Order unit that is different from base unit (Stock keeping unit.)
    you can maintain suitable conversion factors for the same.
5. While issuing steel to Production, the big steel plates may be cut into smaller pieces and issued.
    So, you can have a different unit of issue in material master along with conversion factors.
6. If your client is having tender system for procurement, then you can have the RFQ to handle this.
    You can have different loading factors to assign different weightages for vendors while maintaining Quotations.
     You can go for an enhancement to RFQ screen to capture extra fields relating to tender.
    You can have a Z form to output tender comparative statement as per client requirement.
Hope the above info is useful to you.

Complex distribution Scenario using XI: MDM GL Account Custom Repository

Hi All,
We have a complex Landscape with multiple (4) businesses (multiple R3) instances and most common R3 --> DEV 4 instances with 5 clients each, QAS 4 instances with 2 clients each with some additional clients, PRD 4 instances with a client each and Training 4 instances with 2 clients each in the Landscape along with BW systems.
We are trying to implement standard MDM - XI - R3 distribution scenario. Only difference being MDM Production will be the Master distribution client and have to be distributing to all the R3 clients.
To achieve this syndication is being planned as MDM production to distribute files to 4 businesses to 4 file share folders. These files will be picked up by XI production and will be distributing(Creating IDOCs) on multiple receivers (R3 --> DEV, QAS and PRD) clients of the respective instances.
My question is: Is there an easy way to configure single file to mutiple R3 client IDOC receiver scenario? Also there might be additions and deletions of the R3 clients based on business requirements. Is there any proposed or already implemented procedure to achieve this complex distribution?
Your time and input is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
-Raj.

Hi Raj,
You can use the Syndication Server for a automatic distribution from MDM to XI. The recommended way is to distribute one file per target system. This means that you have to create the target systems in MDM and then use MDM Ports to distribute the message. You can configure a communication channel on XI in a way that it loops through your different port folders to pick the message. The you use the Receiver Determination to configure the receivers of your data.
A short question: do you always want to syndicate the data to all of you systems? The you could solve the issue easier: you send one file from MDM to XI using MDSS and a generic port. Then you use the Receiver Determination on XI to distribute the message to all of your target systems.
Kind regard
Michael

Web Catalog Publishing using MDM RPCM scenario

Hi Experts
Is it possible to do web catalog publishing using MDM Publisher or Publisher APIs? if yes, where can i get the information on how to proceed with it?
I came across this[thread|Re: Web Catalog Publishing]
where Markus has stated that web catalog publishing is possible with java APIs and SAP is having plans to include that functionality in Publisher tool as well, in its future releases.
I couldnu2019t find any straightforward answer for my question either in MDM Java docs or in Publisher guide.
Thanks in advance
SwarnaDeepika

Thank you Markus for the prompt reply.
The link was very helpful. The line
To build dynamic Web sites with complex MDM data layouts
was what i was looking for.
So using the publishing APIs MDM data can be sent through to a web site which acts as a online catalog, can you please confirm?
Can these APIs be used to expose the catalog using enterprise portal as well, instead of a normal website (just like how its done in SRM-MDM catalog)?
P.S: Kindly bear with me, if my questions are silly. An expert's opinion is all i need

Call ODI 11g scenario from Essbase calc script/business rule using ODI SDK

I am looking for any hints on how to use the ODI 11g SDK. I want to call a java application (CDF) that runs an ODI scenario using RUNJAVA in Essbase which I have successfully done in the 10g environment.
The java application has the odi-core.jar included in the project and registers OK with Essbase and I have replicated code from the Oracle sample code site. When I run the application in a calc script I get the following error:
EssbaseCluster-1.EFTS.EFTS.odi     Execute calculation script     June 17, 2011 10:20:40 AM NZST     Failed
Error: 1200456 Problem running [indigo.essbase.odi.RunODIScenario]: [java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/util/StringUtils]
When I comment out the code that calls the creates the OdiInstance then the java app executes fine - i.e. writes something to the Essbase log.
The research I have done so far indicates that a classpath is incorrect. If that is the case where do I start looking to correct the classpath? Is it the ODI classpath or the Essabase classpath?
Any tips would be grateful.
Thanks.

You need to import more jars to execute this
following are the jars
1)     bsf.jar
2)     bsh-2.0b2.jar
3)     commons-collections-3.2.jar
4)     eclipselink.jar
5)     odi-core.jar
6)     ojdl.jar
7)     oracle.ucp_11.1.0.jar
8)     persistence.jar
9)     spring-beans.jar
10)     spring-core.jar
11)     spring-dao.jar
12)     spring-jdbc.jar
Once you have this in classpath - your scenario will execute
Hope this helps.

XI Business content for MDM - Syntax error in IDOC adapter

Hi mates,
I'm trying out the Master Data Harmonization scenario for Vendor data with R/3 as the client system. I'm using SAP delivered XI Business content for MDM. The mapping program is generating ADRMAS and CREMAS IDocs but the IDOC adapter reports that there is a syntax error in ADRMAS IDOC. Find below the details.
<SAP:Category>XIAdapter</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="IDOC_ADAPTER">ATTRIBUTE_IDOC_METADATA</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>Segment 'E1BPAD1VL', segmentnumber '000001' not correct in structure ADRMAS02</SAP:P1>
<SAP:P2 />
<SAP:P3 />
<SAP:P4 />
<SAP:AdditionalText />
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
<SAP:Stack>Error: Segment 'E1BPAD1VL', segmentnumber '000001' not correct in structure ADRMAS02</SAP:Stack>
<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
Generated ADRMAS IDOC is
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf 8" ?>
<ADRMAS02>
<IDOC BEGIN="1">
<EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1" />
<E1ADRMAS>

<ADDR_GROUP>BP</ADDR_GROUP>
</E1BPAD1VL1>
</E1BPAD1VL>
</E1ADRMAS>
</IDOC>
</ADRMAS02>
Strangely, the control record is blank. I looked at the XSLT program, it is coded that way. I do not understand the reason. Is the error pointing to the control record?
Look at the code sample from XSLT mapping program
<xsl:for-each select="IDOC/*/E1ADRMAS">
 <IDOC BEGIN="1">
 
 <EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1"/>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
 </IDOC>
</xsl:for-each>
How can an IDOC w/o control record be posted?
Did anyone come across this error? Whats wrong/missing?
I appreciate ur inputs.
thx in adv
praveen

Moorthy,
I tried reloading the IDOC metadata from IDX2. Still I get the same error.
Regd, IDOC w/o control record, can u elaborate on "dynamic value while posting IDOCs". From where, XI message SOAP header with Business System replaced by corresponding logical system names?
Thanks
Praveen

Business scenario for CLIX

Dear Experts,
At what business scenario we need to use CLIX instead of MDM Console ?

Hi,
an example of CLIX that it can be used for Scheduled backups.
It helps in mounting, unmounting, starting and stopping MDM, and loading, unloading, verify and repairing MDM repositories.
CLIX is a separate MDM 5.5 application that allows you to manage MDM 5.5 repositories using a command line interface instead of the MDM 5.5 Console. CLIX makes most operational MDM 5.5 Console commands accessible via a command line interface and from within batch files, making it useful for scheduling and automating routine maintenance and backup operations.
+ An
refer to page 285 on console guide for more info. It has all the info for you.
In our project we had to use it since we required it to take backup every night and also load repositories automatically after all the software upgrades on windows server or db whenever the basis had to restart server.

Business scenarios for daily, weekly and nightly loads!!

Can any body tell some Business scenarios for daily, weekly and nightly loads where we monitor the loads in Production support.
Regards
srikanth.ch

Hi,
It all depends on your business needs. In general on daily basis you will load the SD and MM which will cover all the stock and sales done for day. Generally most of the clients use Lo Cockpit extraction for both the modules. FI chains will run on month end for example the AP(Accounts Payable),AR(Accounts Receivable) chains will be run on the month end.
Some SD datasources : 2lis_13_vdhdr, 2lis_13_vditm, 2lis_13_vdkon - all these to pull billing related data
Some MM Datasource : 2lis_03_bx and 2lis_03_bf.

Variable declaration in BEx - Business scenario's

Hi,
I need some documents about all kind of variable declaration with some example business scenarios in MM, FI-CO modules.
will assign you a reasonable points
Regards,
Pooja.S

Hi Pooja,
The processing type of a variable may be varies from business requirement.
In general we will use the processing type:
Replacement Path : If you specify a variable as a characteristic value, you do not have to specify a text for the characteristic value right away. Instead, you can fill the text field dynamically and specifically for the characteristic that you use for the variable when you execute the query. To do this, define a text variable with automatic replacement.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/bd/589b3c494d8e15e10000000a114084/content.htm]
Authorisations: If the user belongs to Asia PAciffic region and he must see only details of his region then we can create a variable Region vt Processing type Authorisations so that he vl able to see only that region's data.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/44/599b3c494d8e15e10000000a114084/content.htm]
SAP EXIT: If you want to define a query that only ever displays the data from the current month, drag the delivered variable current month (technical name 0CMONTH) for the characteristic calendar year/month (technical name 0CMONTH) into the query filter.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f1/0a5702e09411d2acb90000e829fbfe/content.htm]
Customer Exit: You want to use one characteristic value to calculate a second characteristic value. The InfoProvider only contains the calendar day. However, you now also want to display the cumulated value for the relevant period (beginning with the first day of a quarter) in a query.
For the first day of the quarter, use a variable with customer exit processing. If you now enter the current calendar day (for example, 06/19/2000), a start date of 06/01/2000 appears in the customer exit, and the cumulated value of this period can be displayed.

How to connect steps in business scenario

Hello,
After creating a project in Solution Manager, creating a business scenario in that project and creating a custom business process in my scenario, Iu2019ve defined the necessary steps that I want in my process. These steps involve 2 different logical components, a component specified for a SAP XI/PI system and a logical component for SAP ECC system.
The business process will involve interaction between the two logical components where Idocs will be exchanged. My first issue is, in transaction SOLAR01 when I click the tab Graphic, Iu2019m able to see the two separate components each with their steps but with no connection or relation between them or with any step order. Where can I define the order and flow for the steps in the business process? After defining the flow, will the connections be presented in the graphic?
One other question, if this business process involve interfaces, should I define this as a business scenario or as an Interface Scenario? What is the main difference between these two objects? Canu2019t I have only business scenarios and define the steps as interfaces?
Thank your for the attention.
Best regards,
Goncalo Mouro Vaz

Hello,
please be aware that only business process maintained in the operations part of SAP Solution Manager. i.e. the Solution Directory, are available for Business Process Monitoring. Processes defined within SOLAR01 are in the project part and hence not directly available for monitoring. But those processes can be copied into the Solution Directory.
For BPMon only "Business Scenraios" are of interest. "Interface Scenarios" need not be maintained but can be used for additional documentation purposes.
Please refer to http://service.sap.com/bpm > Media Library > Technical Information > Setup for Interface Monitoring.pdf

Real time bpm business scenarios

could some one please clearly explain me real time business scenarios where BPM(XI) implemented, this would help me a lot for my interview preparation.
i really appreciate any help

Hi Vijay,
BPM is mainly used in senarios where extra functionalities are to be done with the source message which cannot be done using the normal mapping and user-defined functions, like
->Collecting of messages till a certain count or for a specific criteria.
->Merging messages
->Spliting messages
->Processing of error files and sending to specific location and sending alerts.
->Parallel processing of two criterias at the same time can also be done using BPM.
Hope this helps.

Jesse.
