Can we move SAP standard Function Group and Table defintion to BW

Dear Forum,
We are in a pilot process of migrating SAP R/3 Custom development objects to our BW client and we have a few questions that we would like to know if possible.
We are currently in the To Be Blueprint Phase of migrating SAP 45B to ERP2005 as a Ramp-Up customer and we need to determine as soon as possible the feasibility of moving one particular Custom application
from our SAP R/3 environment to BW. This application primarily performs computational processing and does reporting of the results at the
conclusion
We have selected one Custom R/3 ABAP program to do a pilot to determine the feasibility of migrating it to the BW platform. This Custom program utilizes objects from standard SAP Function Groups which are non existent in BW. In this particular case Function groups KMS0
(Cost Center Selection) and KAB2 (CO Reporting: General).
Questions:
Are we allowed to move these 2 standard SAP Function Groups to BW ? Would it alter the BW environment integrity as intended and designed by SAP?
If we move the Function Group KMS0 and KAB2 will
SAP support our BW environment if we decide to move them?
Would it be considered a SAP Best Practice to move standard SAP R/3
objects to BW?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Paulo Silveira

Hi Paulo and welcome on board !
Please don't post twice the same question...(look in the other one...)
..and don't forget to rewards the answers...it's THE way to say thanks here !
Anyway, I'd suggest to close this thread to avoid to receive answers in both threads...

Function Groups and Function Modules

Hi,
Can anyone give me the detail steps for creating Function Group and then from that function group creation of function module with example?
Regards,
Chandru

Hi,
Function Group creation -
 A function group is a program that contains function modules. With each R/3 system, SAP supplies more than 5,000 pre-existing function groups.
 In total, they contain more than 30,000 function modules. If the functionality you require is not already covered by these SAP-supplied function modules, you can also create your own function groups and function modules.
 We can put all the relevant function modules under one function group and all the global variables can be declared in this FG.
FG Creation:
1) Function group can be created in SE80. There choose the 'Function Group' from the list of objects.
2) Then give a name for ur function group (starts with Y or Z) and press ENTER.
3) The click 'YES' in the create object dialog box and give a short desc. for this FG and save.
Function Module:
 A function module is the last of the four main ABAP/4 modularization units. It is very similar to an external subroutine in these ways:
Both exist within an external program.
Both enable parameters to be passed and returned.
Parameters can be passed by value, by value and result, or by reference.
The major differences between function modules and external subroutines are the following:
Function modules have a special screen used for defining parameters-parameters are not defined via ABAP/4 statements.
tables work areas are not shared between the function module and the calling program.
Different syntax is used to call a function module than to call a subroutine.
Leaving a function module is accomplished via the raise statement instead of check, exit, or stop.
A function module name has a practical minimum length of three characters and a maximum length of 30 characters. Customer function modules must begin with Y_ or Z_. The name of each function module is unique within the entire R/3 system.
Defining Data within a Function Module
Data definitions within function modules are similar to those of subroutines.
Within a function module, use the data statement to define local variables that are reinitialized each time the function module is called. Use the statics statement to define local variables that are allocated the first time the function module is called. The value of a static variable is remembered between calls.
Define parameters within the function module interface to create local definitions of variables that are passed into the function module and returned from it (see the next section).
You cannot use the local statement within a function module. Instead, globalized interface parameters serve the same purpose. See the following section on defining global data to learn about local and global interface parameters.
Defining the Function Module Interface
To pass parameters to a function module, you must define a function module interface. The function module interface is the description of the parameters that are passed to and received from the function module. It is also simply known as the interface. In the remainder of this chapter, I will refer to the function module interface simply as the interface.
To define parameters, you must go to one of two parameter definition screens:
1) Import/Export Parameter Interface
2) Table Parameters/Exceptions Interface
Then in the FM interface screen, give the following
1) Import parameters
2) Export parameters
3) Changing parameters
Then give
1) Define internal table parameters
2) Document exceptions
You enter the name of the parameter in the first column and the attributes of the parameter in the remaining columns. Enter one parameter per row.
Import parameters are variables or field strings that contain values passed into the function module from the calling program. These values originate outside of the function module and they are imported into it.
Export parameters are variables or field strings that contain values returned from the function module. These values originate within the function module and they are exported out of it.
Changing parameters are variables or field strings that contain values that are passed into the function module, changed by the code within the function module, and then returned. These values originate outside the function module. They are passed into it, changed, and passed back.
Table parameters are internal tables that are passed to the function module, changed within it, and returned. The internal tables must be defined in the calling program.
An exception is a name for an error that occurs within a function module. Exceptions are described in detail in the following section.
Syntax for the call function Statement
The following is the syntax for the call function statement.
call function 'F'
 [exporting p1 = v1 ... ]
 [importing p2 = v2 ... ]
 [changing p3 = v3 ... ]
 [tables p4 = it ... ]
 [exceptions x1 = n [others = n]].
where:
F is the function module name.
p1 through p4 are parameter names defined in the function module interface.
v1 through v3 are variable or field string names defined within the calling program.
it is an internal table defined within the calling program.
n is any integer literal; n cannot be a variable.
x1 is an exception name raised within the function module.
The following points apply:
All additions are optional.
call function is a single statement. Do not place periods or commas after parameters or exception names.
The function module name must be coded in uppercase. If it is coded in lowercase, the function will not be found and a short dump will result.
Use the call function statement to transfer control to a function module and specify parameters. Figure 19.9 illustrates how parameters are passed to and received from the function module.

What is the difference between function groups and Object Orientation

Hello all
I have read about this on the help.sap.com site, I still do not understand it completely, can some one explain me with a simple example please ? (Not the increment counter example please !).
Thanks a ton.
Rgds
Sameer

Hello Sameer
When you call a module of a function group for the first time in your program then the entire function group is loaded. However, this can happen only once within your report and all global variables within the function group will have the same values all the time (except they are manipulated via fm's).
In contrast, you can create as many instances of the same class as you want and all of them can have different global attributes. And all these instances are independent of each other.
On the other hand, if fm_A changes global attributes of the function group and fm_B reads these attributes then fm_B read the changed values.
Or in other words:
Function Group = can be instantiated only ONCE
Class = can be instantiated unlimited

Where-Used List: Modifying SAP standard function module

Hi,
We have decided to modify SAP standard function module SD_SCHEDULING. But before that, we need to understand what impact this modification will have in the system. We will also estimate the risks with this modification.
Therefore, I have taken Where-Used List for this function module. We are aware that this list is not comprehensive.
Do you know any other way we could use to understand better what impacts this kind of modification may have? My colleagues say that this is the only way.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Jarmo Tuominen

Hi Jarmo,
Try this
1). Goto Se16 and check the contents of table 'CROSS'.
2). Enter 'F' in the first selection screen field
3). In the NAME field enter the Function module SD_SCHEDULING and execute.
4). The list will give you where all the FM has been used.
Kindly note this is almost the same as doing a where used list. The where used list will only work correctly if the 'Update Navigation Index' works correctly in your system. So just to ensure the result of your where used list you can follow the above steps. This does not require the Update Navigation Index.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Lst of all sap standard function modules???

can anyone provide with a list of all sap standard function modules???

Question about SAP standard functionality related to the GL master record.

My question is;
Is this a SAP standard functionality to update the description ( long text or short) of a GL account (in master record) in one company code when we change the description of the same GL account in another company code which is assigned to the same chart of account?
For example we have two company codes and both are assigned to the same chart of account and we are changing long text of one GL account in one CoCd. Should it update the long text of the same GL account in other CoCd assigned to the same chart of account? If so, then is this a standard SAP functionality or there is any setting where we can turn this functionality on or off.
Thanks in advance for help n answer.

Hi
GL accounts control takes place two leval
1.Chart of account leval
2.Comapany code leval
In chart of account leval Type/Description,Keywoard Translation,Information of Chart of Account of account tabs are controlled ,if u made any changes above tabs that should be applicable to all company codes using same chart of accounts.
u r changing the short text,long text these are controlled by char of accounts leval this should be applicalbe to all company codes, u can't maintain company code leval type and description.

Is there any detail description of SAP standard function?

HI
I just curious about wheather any references of SAP standard function exist.
for example. I found 'UMB_VAR_TO_FISCPER' function which is someone's abap code but I can't get any clue what that function use for.
I only can see type description in function source code.
Is there any references of SAP function?
thanks.

Can we integrate SAP PM functional location into sap ehs waste management?

Can we integrate SAP PM functional location into sap ehs waste management?
We have already imported functional location into Incident Management.
The requirement is that we need to somehow integrate either functional location of PM or location of Incident Management
to EH&S Waste Management module.
Any comments/ideas would be highly appreciated !!

Hi !
Through this IMG activity you can integrate Waste Management business partner to other objects. What you have asked should be possible. But default settings provided with this IMG activity are,
You can integrate Business partner to,
1. Plant
2. Company Code
3. Cost Center
4. Controlling Area
5. Order
6. Customer
7. Vendor
8. Storage Location
9. Plant for Storage Location
You can see this in the structure, “EHSWAS_MDINTO”.
See this IMG activity,
Environment, Health & Safety -> Waste Management -> Master Data -> Basic Settings for Master Data -> Specify Object Types for Integration.
“A waste management business partner can be identical to other objects in the SAP System, for example, a plant, a company code, or a cost center. In the master data for the Waste Management component, you can also assign a waste management business partner the object in the SAP System to which it is identical.
In this IMG activity you specify which object types you can assign to the waste management business partners.
Standard settings:
Default settings are delivered. You cannot change these settings, but you can add more settings.”

SAP Standard Functionality ?

Hello PP members:
In GAP analysis, the clients requirement is "capacity to be checked during MRP run and if sufficient capacity is there then MRP run should not create orders"
But SAP standard functionality MRP run always creates orders irrespective of capacity checking
Is there any work around for this problem, If yes please let me know
Thanks for your time & efforts
Thanks Again,
Suren

Hi Suren,
basically what MRP does it create Planned order that means it is booking hours into m/c, when you do lead time scheduling dates will be thrown to free period where no capacity is booked and if dates not matching it reschedule the planning
Thats wat standard SAP does
Thanks

Function Group and Module Transport

Hi All,
I have created a new Function group and is part of transport request. Created new function modules and assigned to the same function group. When i see object list in SE09 for the transport request i see only function group, all the FM are part of same transportable package of Function group. Do i need to assign them manually in object list through SE09 as pseudo changes to FM is not capturing in the request.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Kunal.

There is no need to manually assign fm to fg. If you transport the fg , objects under the fg get transported automatically.
Next time if you changing only function module then your se09 entry will be

Function Group and Subroutines

Hi all,
I have two Function Groups.
I have a subroutine defined in one Function Group and want to use same subroutine in another Function Group.
Is there any way to do it, without redefining same Subroutine in another Function Group?

Hi,
 either define subroutines in include
 and inlude in function group
 include ztest.
 perform abc .
 perfrom add.
Function group ZFG
 include ztest.
Function group ZFG1
 include ztest.
 or
perform test(prog1).

My arrow scroll mechanism is no longer there (Firefox 3.6 in Mac) ... I can only move an 'invisible' arrow up and down to the right ...
I had first installed F 4.00 beta, but got rid of that one fast ... it couldn't deal with any add-ons, and it was even loading films in YouTube!
I thus installed F 3.6, and have no scroll arrows to the right, but I can move my cursor north or south on the right-hand side, which moves the page.

Wow, lightning fast and absolutely right!
Thank you so much!
