Catch Weight Management Activation Dilemma

Hello experts,
We're looking into activating Catch Weight Management in our development client or a sandbox client. We have read the documentation available, but we have found what seems to be either a "contradiction" in the documentation, or a "misunderstanding" on our side. It is probably just a misunderstanding on our side, so we would appreciate some clarification on this.
The following link says that:  Note that this activation affects all clients and that you cannot reverse the characterization of the ERP system as SAP CWM.
Activation of SAP Catch Weight Management - SAP Catch Weight Management - SAP Library
This other link says that: Before you can use SAP Catch Weight Management (SAP CWM), you must activate SAP CWM at client level.
Activating SAP Catch Weight Management - SAP Catch Weight Management - SAP Library
The questions is: Can we activate CWM in our development client or a sandbox client without affecting the other clients (QA and Production)?
This is a big irreversible change, that's why we need proper clarification before we make a change.

Hi Oscar,
When you activate CWM, it will strip your ERP of some reports, t-codes, and functionality.
You choose on material level if material is standard or CWManaged.
To answer your question, it is implemented on Client level, and you assign the indicator for CWM on material level. You need to maintain CWM view.
In addition please read SAP Note 886761. It tells you what major changes/retrictions are implemented after CWM activation.
Also, if you are using RF devices in WM, and you want to process CWM materials through RF too, you will need to implement this - SAP note 738159 : Catch Weight with Radio Frequency.
It isn't that easy to do that, but after implementing the changes, you will have screens for CWM on your RF devices.
Otherwise, you would always get an error that you need to enter the qty in parallel unit of measure...
Please read this thoroughly, it will help you catch up wth CWM

  • Catch Weight Management UD

    Hi gurus.
    I'm trying to post stock to unrestricted from giving usage decision to various inspection lots, but I simply can't. When I try to save the UD, the next message appears:
    Material 100003 is not a catch weight material
    Message no. /CWM/MD009
    There are catch weight materials and non catch weight as well, does this mean that I can't have QM inspections in all material types? There wasn't any problem with creation of inspection plan or inspection setup at any moment.
    Thanks in advance for you help.
    Arturo

    1)It happens with status
    INSP RREC SPRQ
    and
    REL  CALC SPRQ
    2)The quantity in QA02 is 300 UN.
    The quantity to post in unrestricted is also 300 UN.
    We just found the note 1490528:
    "When determining conversion factors using alternative units of measure from
    the material master, the system does not take into account that Catch
    Weight Management (CWM) is activated. As a result, following the processing
    of the load file, there are times when you may receive the message
    /CWM/MD009 "Material _ is not a catch weight Material."."
    I'll let you know if this helped.

  • Catch Weight Management - CWM: Classic Accounting VS Inventory Accounting

    Hello dear experts,
    The info below was extracted from this link: SAP Catch Weight Management - SAP Library
    The link says:
    To implement SAP CWM, you need the following components:
    · SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC)
    · LIME as a component of SAP AP (for inventory management)
    · Inventory Accounting based on SAP SEM
      After you have installed the components you must activate the SAP CWM solution at client level.
    I understand that you have to "install" LIME and Inventory Accounting in order to activate CWM, but my question is:
    Do we have to "implement/use" Inventory Accounting in order to use CWM? or is Inventory Accounting just an option that is offered with CWM and the only requirement is to "install it but not necessarily implement/use it"?
    We are currently operating under Classic Accounting and we would like to stay like that for the moment, but we would also like to implement CWM, so we're looking for some guidance.
    Can we use Classic Accounting and CWM together?
    This is the last piece of info we need before we make a decision as to whether or not to implement CWM. 

    Hi
    You cannot user REM for CWM material types.  For others you can stil use.

    Hi,
    SAP CWM provides processes and functions to allow materials to be carried in two independent units of measure throughout the entire supply chain (sales and distribution, purchasing, materials management, production, quality management and logistics execution). SAP CWM also contains costing and inventory management functions and supports integration of Financial Accounting and Controlling, allowing you to map requirements in the valuation area.

  • IS Catch Weight Management vs. REM

    Hi,
    Note 1180040 says that repetitive manufacturing is not supported in CWM. Does that mean that you can't use REM at all or can I still use REMfor materials which are not CWM enabled.
    Any experiences?
    thanks,

  • Open Item Management activation for GL accounts in ECC 6.00

    Hi Experts,
    There is an issue about Open item Management activation for GL line items of FBLL03 for VAT GL code. Unexpectdly do not check the open item management in VAT GL account Master record while created the GL master record in 2007. Now we activated Open item Management in GL master record for same GL to nulify the balances with setoff account and same reversed after activation. Now issue is how it is possible to activate Open item Management for previously posted documents ? Is there any standard SAP Program for ECC 6.00 Release SAP _APPL 600.
    Please revert.
    Best Rgds
    SumaMani

    Hi PVC,
    I got below mentioned message while execute the suggested program in SAP.Please suggest
    Do not use the report program to set up open item management for the
    account.
    Create a new account with the correct account assignment. Post your
    items to the new account. If you want to use the original account
    number, you must bring the account balance to zero, change the account
    assignment, and repost the items. You can remove the old items by
    archiving the documents.

  • Ask timesten 11.2 Using Oracle Clusterware to Manage Active Standby Pair

    Using Oracle Clusterware to Manage Active Standby Pairs
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13085_01/doc/timesten.1121/e13072/cluster.htm#CCHCFAAD
    What is that mean ?
    I have to use Share Storage for... Oracle Clusterware?
    I think right?... or wrong ?
    Can I have VIP on Master node, and then master down... standby will active with VIP, right ?

    A TimesTen A/S pair is a replicated configuation where a pair of TimesTen datastores, usually located on different machines, act in many ways as a single unit. The active master can process both queries and DML (insert/update/delete) while the standby master can only process queries (think of this as a little like Active Dataguard). Applications that run on the same machine as one of the TT datastores can connect to it via the very high performance 'direct mode' while applications running on other machines can access the datastores in client/server mode. There is a clearly defined procedure for failing over if the active master fails (which involves promoting the standby master to active) and for recovering a failed store back to the correct role. Direct mode applications must failover with the datastore whereas for client/server applications the connection(s) need to be failed over. The basic A/S pair replication mechanism has been available since TimesTen 6.0. The replication configuration is defined via special SQL syntax and monitoring and management (failover control etc.) is performed by way of built-in procedure calls. However, in TT 6.0 and 7.0 the actual monitoring and management of the A/S pair, including failover, is left for the user to implement themselvses or via some custom integration with an external cluster manager.
    TimesTen 11g adds two major new capabilities:
    1. Automatic client connection failover for client/server connections. Think of this as very similar to Oracle DB TAF and FAN. This does not require VIPs or Clusterware since it is implemented completely within TimesTen. However it works very well when used in onjunction with Clusterware.
    2. A deep integration between TimesTen and Oracle Clusterware. All aspects of Timesten A/S pair definition, deployment, management and recovery are handled by Clusterware. There is just a single configuration file and a single TimesTen utility (ttCWAdmin) involved. Of course you need a properly configured Clusterware setup first which will require some form of shared storage (for OCR and voting disks) but TT storage (checkpoint and log files) does not need to be on shared storage. Setting up TT for use with Clusterware is very quick and easy (maybe 30 minutes the first time you do it and much quicker thereafter once you know what you are doing). From then on Clusterware will manage all aspects of failover and recovery completely automatically. VIPs are not required but can be used if desired e.g. for application failover purposes. Clusterware can also manage the failover of direct mode applications. Also, you can define automated backup cycles and spare nodes that can be used if a node suffers some permanent failure. The Clusterware integration offers very rich functionality but also very fast failover (typically just a few seconds in my testing).
    Hope that helps clarify.
