  • Client Merge! precautions to be taken from BW point of view

    Hi,
    We are in a process of merging two clients in R/3 which are typical source systems for BW!
    What are the steps that we should take care of while the client merge is on from R/3 side.
    these two clients are ofcourse very important for BW system as almost all for everydata load the extraction logic in FM to the ABAP routine in selection of infopacakge is different!
    in a scenario such as this, what are the things that should i make a note from BW point of view?
    Raj

    Hi,
    1.Internal table with header line will not support in ECC 6.0 for that u need to create internal table and work area using TYPES.
    2.Mostly u need to do some PATCH WORK for the STANDARD programmes.
    Patch work in the sense for SPAU objects in Mysap is there any code written by client(INSERT {....END INSERT....}) this type of code u need to add in ECC 6.0 code....
    3.Mostly u have to resolve EPC(Extended program check) errors.
    In that u will find so many type of errors...Field attribute errors,Perform interface errors,Obsolete stetement errors,....etc.
    4.First thing u need to what r the SCOPE and OUT OF SCOPE in your upgradation.
    5.If u find any Fmodules obsolete...U just press F1 on that Fmodule it will show which function module can useful instead of that obsolete one...
    6.If they want UNI CODE compatiable .....
    EX Report...
    Go to the attributes of the report...
    There u can c a check box to check UNI CODE Errors...
    U have to resolve these errors also...
    After doing all these things u have to show 0 errors on CODE INSPECTOR fro each n every object...
    Thats t as per my knowledge...
    Regards,
    Kishore Reddy.

  • Adding field in Maintenance view of table

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a custom maintanable table.  Now the requirement is I need to add one more extra  field in the maintenace view of the table which should not be in the table fields and is for display only in the maintencae view.
    I tried adding a cloumn by editing the screen program generated by the table maintenance generator. I get the the display in the maintenance view of that extra field. But I dont get the values populated.
    Can you please let me know in which PBO or PAI i should write the module programe ..
    Help will be rewarded with points.

    Hello Bluesh
    Normally the extra field should be from a table that has a foreign-key relationship to your main table. Thus, add this additional table to the list of tables for the view. If it does not have a suitable relationship you cannot add it to the list of tables.
    Afterwards add the required field to the list of view fields and set its property to 'R' = read-only.
    If correctly defined there is no need at all to modify the screen(s) or the coding of the PBO/PAI modules.
    Example: your z-table contains field KUNNR (value table KNA1) and you want to add the NAME1 field to your maintenance view
    add table KNA1 to the list of tables
    add field NAME1 to view fields
    set its property to 'R'
    regenerate function modules and screens
    Regards
      Uwe

    1.     How data is stored in cluster table?
    Each field of cluster table behaves as tables which contains the no. of entries.
    2. What are client dependant objects in abap/sap?
    SAP Script layout, text element, and some DDIC objects.
    3. On which even we can validate the input fields in module progams?
    In PAI (Write field statement on field you want to validate, if you want to validate group of fields put in chain and End chain statement.)
    4. In selection screen I have three fields, plant mat no and material group. If I input plant how do I get the mat no and material group based on plant dynamically?
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR MATERIAL.
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' to get material and material group for the plant.
    5. How do you get output from IDOC?
    Data in IDOc is stored in segments, the output from Idoc is obtained by reading the data stored in its respective segments.
    6. When top of the page event is triggered?
    After excuteing first write statement in start-of-selection event.
    7. Can we create field without data element and how?
    In SE11 one option is available above the fields strip. Data element/ direct type.
    8. How do we debug sapscript?
    Go to SE71 give lay set name , go to utilities select debugger mode on.
    9. Which transaction code can I used to analyze the performance of ABAP program.
    TCode AL21.
    10. How can I copy a standard table to make my own z_table.
    Go to transaction SE11. Then there is one option to copy table. Press that button. Enter the name of the standard table and in the Target table enter Z table name and press enter.
    Following are some of the answers which I gave upto my knowledge.
    1. What is the use of 'outerjoin'
    Ans. With the use of outer join you can join the tables even there is no entry in all the tables used in the view.
    In case of inner join there should be an entry in al the tables use in the view.
    2. When to use logical database?
    Ans. Advantage of Logical databases:
    less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
    Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.
    3. What is the use of 'table index'?
    Ans .Index is used for faster access of data base tables.
    4. What is the use of 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'?
    Ans. To avoid nested select statements we use SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statement.
    If there r more than 10000 records SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is used.
    Performance wise SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is better to use.
    5. Can you set up background processing using CALL TRANSACTION?
    Yes,Using No Screen Mode.
    6. What are table buffers?
    Table buffers reside locally on each application server in the system. The data of buffered tables can thus be accessed
    directly from the buffer of the application server. This avoids the time-consuming process of accessing the database.
    Buffering is useful if table needs to be accessed more no. of times in a program.

    Deepti
    1. There are other ways of entering data into a DB table. ex. B D C
    2. Collect statement collect/adds the records basing on a key field. allows to create summarised data sets.
    Append will append/add a record at the end of existing records
    8. to release an object - use se10/se9
    9. sales doc flow: S. A. - S. O. - Delivery - Billing
    12. Delivery - invoice.
    15. field symbols are used for dynamic allocation. at runtime u can assign a concrete field to field-symbol.
    Kishore
    1. you can go to abap editor (se38) and use insert statement for insertion update for update and modify for modifications.
    2. collect will not allow duplicate entries, while append can allow duplicates.
    3. if any changes are made to objects they are to be transported to different systems i.e, change and transport.
    4. in user exits we go by general method for enhancements while BADIs we use objects (oops concepts)
    methods for enhancement.
    14. table controls are enhanced version for step loops where we can expand rows .main difference between these two
    is step loop can be expanded to two lines table controls can`t.
    15. field symbols are just like pointers concept which are used in C language. We use them when we want to refer to
    the fields considered,it doesnt allocate any memory for it.
    Venu Rapolu
    1. Ans: Using BDC., LSMW,,ALE., BAPI
    2. Ans: Collect: it adds the numeric fields to the existing non numeric key field records., thereby avoiding duplicate
    values., and append will simply adds the record
    3 . Ans: The CTS contains work bench organizer and transport system :
    The workbench organizer is used to record and contol changes to the ABAP/4 development objects;
    The transport system is used to move objects from an SAP dev.system to production system
    6. Ans: Outbound interface is used to send IDocs to the ALE server.,
    Inbound interface is used to Analyse the received Idoc.
    7. Ans: We (ABAPers) don't do.
    8. Ans: se09 or se10
    13. Ans: MATMAS
    CREMAS
    DEBMAS
    GLMAST etc...
    14. Ans: to display records in table format., we use in Screens
    15. Ans: we assign the field content at run time with ASSIGN stmt.
    Satish D
    1. goto se16 u can view the table contents
    2. collect will collects all the numeric fields of nonnumeric field values
    append will append record at the end of table
    3. when we are creatiing new task like dev. a new prg.. after completion of dev. that will be trnsported to testing system or production system to do that we are assigning an
    transport request from our dev.class(system) by using se09
    4. badis are dev. by class and inheritence methods where as user exitsdev by SAP only and empty shells filled wit user logic
    5. go to system then status
    6. outbound generating an idoc in ale layer with master_idoc_create_messgetype,
    inbound is receivng system with idoc_inbound_process, gives an return variable wether it is sucess or not
    7. no we have to configur that
    8. go to se09 or se01 there write your task no and use release button it will asks whats the other system name
    and number enter them and relase by pressing jeep button
    9. inquiry
    quotation
    sales order
    shipping
    delivery
    invoice
    return goods
    12. after creation of delivry note invoice is prepared
    13. master_idoc_distribute will generate standard idoc
    Deepti
    I am enclosing some of answers which I know.
    1. We can use t.Code SE16 to enter values into table only if table maintainence is allowed for that table.
    2. Append will add new entries into the table where as collect add into the numeric type fields if other charatcer fields
    matches to your selection criteria.
    3. CTS used for creation of ABAP development transport requests.The transaction code for this is SE10.
    4. UserExits r used for adding additional functionality to the existing SAP standard transactions.Using UserExits we can add additional functionality standard SAP functionality without making any changes to the original code.BADI is a standardized interface for ABAP sources that enables partners and customers to enhance SAP-delivered programs in their namespace.
    5 .We can identify User exits by using transactions CMOD and SMOD.
    6. After entering transaction code SE10 select the transport request which u want to transport and click on transport icon(Truck symbol) to release it.
    10. Purchase Requistion->RFQ->Vendor Evaluation->Purchase Order(ME21).
    14. Table control is the only facility provide thru dialog programming when we come acrosse the use of updating standared,deletion,insertion and all database operations.
    15. Field symbols r pointers to the existing data types(like 'C') which does not allocate any memory space. These are used faster access of data.
    Answers to some ABAP Interview Questions:
    Questions which I have faced in an interview:
    1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
    2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done anything to improve the performance?
    3) How to transfer the objects? Have to transferred any objects?
    4) How did you test the developed objects?
    5) What is the difference between SAP Memory and ABAP Memory?
    6) In order to upload Purchase order details, how you handle multiple values for a single field?
    Eg: Item field may contain no. of values for a record
    7) What is the procedure you followed to upload the data?
    8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
    9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
    10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
    11) How to pass the variables to forms?
    12) How to create a link between modified form and modified print program?
    13) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
    14) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
    15) What are Standard Texts?
    16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
    17) What is pf-status?
    18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
    19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
    20) Where we use Chain and Endchain?
    21) Do you use select statement in loop endloop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
    22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
    Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
    Go thru these answers:
    1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
    It's checks program execution time in microseconds. When you go to se30.if you give desired program name in performance file. It will take you to below screen. You can get how much past is your program.
    2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done
    3) How to transfer the objects? Have you transferred any objects?
    4) How did you test the developed objects?
    I was testing a developed object. There are two types of testing
    - Negative testing
    - Positive testing
    In negative testing we will give negative data in input and we check any errors occurs.
    In positive testing we will give positive data in input for checking errors.
    8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
    We can create a internal table like 'bsgmcgcoll'. All the messages will go to internal table. We can get errors in this internal table.
    Below messages are go to internal table. when you run the call transaction.
    - Message type
    - Message id
    - Message Number
    - Variable1
    - Variable2
    - Variable3
    9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
    Call transaction is faster then session method. But usually we use session method in real time...because we can transfer large amount of data from internal table to database and if any errors in a session. Process will not complete until session get correct.
    10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
    ABAP/4 provides some interactive events on lists such as AT LINE-SELECTION (double click) or AT USER-COMMAND (pressing a button). You can use these events to move through layers of information about individual items in a list.
    Drill down report is nothing but interactive report...drilldown means above paragraph only.
    11) How to pass the variables to forms?
    12) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
    Table contains vertical and horizontal lines. We can store the data in table as blocks. We can scroll depends upon your wish. And these all are stored in database (data dictionary).
    Which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms? (I don't know).
    13) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
    14) What are Standard Texts?
    16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
    A pooled table is used to combine several logical tables in the ABAP/4 dictionary. Pooled tables are logical tables that must be assigned to a table pool when they are defined.
    Cluster table are logical tables that must be assigned to a table cluster when they are defined.
    Cluster table can be used to store control data they can also used to store temporary data or text such as documentation.
    17) What is pf-status?
    Pf status is used in interactive report for enhancing the functionality. If we go to se41, we can get menus, items and different function keys, which we are using for secondary list in interactive report.
    18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
    I guess, 'move corresponding' is very efficient then 'move' statement. Because usually we use this stamtent for internal table fields only...so if we give move corresponding. Those fields only moving to other place (what ever you want).
    19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
    20) Where we use Chain and End chain?
    21) Do you use select statement in loop end loop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
    22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
    Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
    SAP ABAP interview questions
    Thanks to the reader who sent in this question set:
    1. What is an ABAP data dictionary?- ABAP 4 data dictionary describes the logical structures of the objects used in application development and shows how they are mapped to the underlying relational database in tables/views.
    2. What are domains and data element?- Domains:Domain is the central object for describing the technical characteristics of an attribute of an business objects. It describes the value range of the field. Data Element: It is used to describe the semantic definition of the table fields like description the field. Data element describes how a field can be displayed to end-user.
    3. What is foreign key relationship?- A relationship which can be defined between tables and must be explicitly defined at field level. Foreign keys are used to ensure the consistency of data. Data entered should be checked against existing data to ensure that there are now contradiction. While defining foreign key relationship cardinality has to be specified. Cardinality mentions how many dependent records or how referenced records are possible.
    4. Describe data classes.- Master data: It is the data which is seldomly changed. Transaction data: It is the data which is often changed. Organization data: It is a customizing data which is entered in the system when the system is configured and is then rarely changed. System data:It is the data which R/3 system needs for itself.
    5. What are indexes?- Indexes are described as a copy of a database table reduced to specific fields. This data exists in sorted form. This sorting form ease fast access to the field of the tables. In order that other fields are also read, a pointer to the associated record of the actual table are included in the index. Yhe indexes are activated along with the table and are created automatically with it in the database.
    6. Difference between transparent tables and pooled tables.- Transparent tables: Transparent tables in the dictionary has a one-to-one relation with the table in database. Its structure corresponds to single database field. Table in the database has the same name as in the dictionary. Transparent table holds application data. Pooled tables. Pooled tables in the dictionary has a many-to-one relation with the table in database. Table in the database has the different name as in the dictionary. Pooled table are stored in table pool at the database level.
    7. What is an ABAP/4 Query?- ABAP/4 Query is a powerful tool to generate simple reports without any coding. ABAP/4 Query can generate the following 3 simple reports: Basic List: It is the simple reports. Statistics: Reports with statistical functions like Average, Percentages. Ranked Lists: For analytical reports. - For creating a ABAP/4 Query, programmer has to create user group and a functional group. Functional group can be created using with or without logical database table. Finally, assign user group to functional group. Finally, create a query on the functional group generated.
    8. What is BDC programming?- Transferring of large/external/legacy data into SAP system using Batch Input programming. Batch input is a automatic procedure referred to as BDC(Batch Data Communications).The central component of the transfer is a queue file which receives the data vie a batch input programs and groups associated data into “sessions”.
    9. What are the functional modules used in sequence in BDC?- These are the 3 functional modules which are used in a sequence to perform a data transfer successfully using BDC programming: BDC_OPEN_GROUP - Parameters like Name of the client, sessions and user name are specified in this functional modules. BDC_INSERT - It is used to insert the data for one transaction into a session. BDC_CLOSE_GROUP - This is used to close the batch input session.
    10. What are internal tables?- Internal tables are a standard data type object which exists only during the runtime of the program. They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables and for re-organising the contents of database tables according to users need.
    11. What is ITS? What are the merits of ITS?- ITS is a Internet Transaction Server. ITS forms an interface between HTTP server and R/3 system, which converts screen provided data by the R/3 system into HTML documents and vice-versa. Merits of ITS: A complete web transaction can be developed and tested in R/3 system. All transaction components, including those used by the ITS outside the R/3 system at runtime, can be stored in the R/3 system. The advantage of automatic language processing in the R/3 system can be utilized to language-dependent HTML documents at runtime.
    12. What is DynPro?- DynPro is a Dynamic Programming which is a combination of screen and the associated flow logic Screen is also called as DynPro.
    13. What are screen painter and menu painter?- Screen painter: Screen painter is a tool to design and maintain screen and its elements. It allows user to create GUI screens for the transactions. Attributes, layout, filed attributes and flow logic are the elements of Screen painter. Menu painter: Menu painter is a tool to design the interface components. Status, menu bars, menu lists, F-key settings, functions and titles are the components of Menu painters. Screen painter and menu painter both are the graphical interface of an ABAP/4 applications.
    14. What are the components of SAP scripts?- SAP scripts is a word processing tool of SAP which has the following components: Standard text. It is like a standard normal documents. Layout sets. - Layout set consists of the following components: Windows and pages, Paragraph formats, Character formats. Creating forms in the R/3 system. Every layout set consists of Header, paragraph, and character string. ABAP/4 program.
    15. What is ALV programming in ABAP? When is this grid used in ABAP?- ALV is Application List viewer. Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length. In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
    16. What are the events in ABAP/4 language?- Initialization, At selection-screen, Start-of-selection, end-of-selection, top-of-page, end-of-page, At line-selection, At user-command, At PF, Get, At New, At LAST, AT END, AT FIRST.
    17. What is CTS and what do you know about it?- The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in your system landscape. This documentation provides you with an overview of how to manage changes with the CTS and essential information on setting up your system and client landscape and deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow this documentation when planning your development project.
    18. What are logical databases? What are the advantages/ dis-advantages of logical databases?- To read data from a database tables we use logical database. A logical database provides read-only access to a group of related tables to an ABAP/4 program. Advantages: i)check functions which check that user input is complete, correct,and plausible. ii)Meaningful data selection. iii)central authorization checks for database accesses. iv)good read access performance while retaining the hierarchical data view determined by the application logic. dis advantages: i)If you donot specify a logical database in the program attributes,the GET events never occur. ii)There is no ENDGET command,so the code block associated with an event ends with the next event statement (such as another GET or an END-OF-SELECTION).
    19. What is a batch input session?- BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
    20. How to upload data using CATT ?- These are the steps to be followed to Upload data through CATT: Creation of the CATT test case & recording the sample data input. Download of the source file template. Modification of the source file. Upload of the data from the source file.
    21. What is Smart Forms?- Smart Forms allows you to create forms using a graphical design tool with robust functionality, color, and more. Additionally, all new forms developed at SAP will be created with the new Smart Form solution.
    22. How can I make a differentiation between dependent and independent data?- Client dependent or independent transfer requirements include client specific or cross client objects in the change requests. Workbench objects like SAPscripts are client specific, some entries in customizing are client independent. If you display the object list for one change request, and then for each object the object attributes, you will find the flag client specific. If one object in the task list has this flag on, then that transport will be client dependent.
    23. What is the difference between macro and subroutine? - Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition are expanded at compilation / generation. Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs . A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice. A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external). A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external. Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (I’ve never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION.

  • Document Management System for sap mm point of view steps

    Hi All.
    Document management system for sap mm point of view steps required.
    Thanks in advance for all sap mm forum members.
    Regards.
    Parameshwar

    Hi,
    Customizing settings can be collected by processes into Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets). BC Sets make Customizing more transparent by documenting and analyzing the Customizing settings. They can also be used for a group rollout, where the customizing settings are bundled by the group headquarters and passed on in a structured way to its subsidiaries.
    BC Sets are provided by SAP for selected industry sectors, and customers can also create their own.
    When a BC Set is created, values and combinations of values are copied from the original Customizing tables into the BC Set and can be copied into in the tables, views and view clusters in the customer system. The BC Sets are always transported into the customer system in which Customizing is performed.
    Advantages of using BC Sets:
    1.     Efficient group rollout.
    2.     Industry sector systems are easier to create and maintain.
    3.     Customizing can be performed at a business level.
    4.     Change Management is quicker and safer.
    5.     Upgrade is simpler.
    To create BC sets follow the below step:
    Choose Tools ® Customizing ® Business Configuration Sets® Maintenance in the SAP
    menu, or enter the transaction code SCPR3 in the command field.
    Choose Bus.Conf.Set ® Create.

  • Enhancement Point Creation in Internal table

    Hi,
    I want to create a Enhancement Point in Internal table declared in Customize Program.
    This is more related to clarification of concept related to Enhancment Point.
    But when i am putting the cursor inside the internal table and right click and Enhancment -> create ,it is giving me a message
    that "Position of enhancement section/point statement is not allowed".
    This means that we can't create Enhancement point or Enhancement Section inside the Internal table and solution is we can use
    only Implicit Enhancement point.
    But the doubt is that i had seen SAP programs where they have created the Enhancement point in the internal table declarations.
    How that is possible then?
    Please provide your helpful answers to get me more clarification on Enhancement Point/
    Thanks,
    Manish

  • Cin in sd point of view

    Hi sd gurus,
    can u send me the screen shots for cin in sd sales point of view,like what are condition types in pricing procedure,and when we are doing sales,what about pricing procedure like we have to use two pricing procedures standard rvaa01 and what about taxinn ,or else we have to include all condition types in taxinn plz send me in detail step by step
    thanks & regards,
    srinivas.T

    Dear Srinu,
    What is CIN?
    CIN Means Country India Version
    In Indian Taxing procedure, Excise Duty plays a vital role in manufacturing cenario’s. Excise related configuration is known as CIN configuration. CIN Configuration is a topic in itself. 
    Some info on CIN Configuration (it may not appear as understandable below, but if you check on screen, it will be understood better)
    Country Version India comes with four pricing procedures as follows:
    - JINFAC (Sales from manufacturing plants) 
    - JINEXP (Export sales) 
    - JINDEP (Sales from depots) 
    - JINSTK (Stock transfers
    CIN: IMG > Logistics - General > Tax on Goods Movement > India > Basic Settings > Maintain Excise Registrations
    In this IMG activity, you maintain the data relating to your excise registrations.
    - Enter each of your excise registrations, specifying a four-character code for each Excise Registration Ids
    In this activity, you maintain excise registration IDs. You create one ID for each of your business's excise registrations.
    - For each excise registration in your business create a registration ID, and state:
    - Which taxes the registration covers (additional excise duty, special excise duty, and cess) Fields for any taxes that are not covered will be hidden in transactions involving excise duty.
    - The maximum number of items to be printed on each excise invoice
    - Whether you are allowed partial CENVAT credits
    Maintain Registration ID NUMBER, Excise code number, excise registration number 
    ECC Number: Specifies the organization's ECC number. 
    Excise Registration Number:  A number assigned to each premises or location that has registered as a manufacturer with the excise authorities.
    Every entity with an excise registration number is required to keep its own excise books.
    Excise range: Specifies the excise range in whose area the excise registration is located.
    Excise Division: Specifies the excise division in whose area the excise registration is located.
    Excise Collectorate: The code of the excise collectorate in whose area the excise registration is located.
    Indicator for confirming, AED usage Additional Excise duty Percentage.
    These are livable under the additional duties of excise act. These duties are in addition to basic excise duty and special excise duty. Example - Additional Excise duty is livable in case of textile products, tobacco and sugar.
    Similarly for SED CESS Number of Items in Excise Invoice Shows the maximum number of line items that the authorities allow per excise invoice.
    Dependencies - This information is used when you create an excise invoice in Sales and Distribution (SD) for factory sales and for other movements.  This information is used to split the transfer postings' items into multiple subcontracting challans.
    Excise register set description: Description of the excise registers set.
    Partial CENVAT Credit: Indicates that the excise registration ID is allowed to credit only a portion of its input excise duty to its CENVAT account
    Dependencies - When you post a goods receipt, the system splits the input excise duty on the material into its deductible and nondeductible amounts. It posts the deductible duty to the appropriate CENVAT account, and adds the nondeductible duty to the material value.
    This information is also shown when you post the vendor's excise invoice.
    Maintain Company Code Settings. 
    In this IMG activity, you maintain the data relating to your company codes.
    Document Type for CENVAT Postings. 
    It controls, which document type the system uses when making CENVAT postings in Financial Accounting (FI). Here ED is document type for cenvat posting.
    Indicator for providing debit account overwriting 
    Debit Account Overwrite Indicator. X - Indicates debit accounts can be overwritten. Use In excise journal voucher transaction. It provides the flexibility to the user to enter the debit account of his choice depending on the nature of transaction.
    Automatic balance Indicator - Excise year start month.  The calendar month marking the beginning of the excise year.  This start month represents the month for the start of the excise invoice number range. The month 04 is entered here indicating April of the calendar year as the start month for excise invoices. Any change by the Excise authorities regarding start month should be taken care of by an entry in this field and initialization.
    Excise invoice selection procedure :Excise invoice selection type. To indicate the method opted by the company for selecting the excise invoice. It can be either earliest or latest invoices that were received. Number of excise invoices to be selected Indicates the number of excise invoices that needs to be selected in the excise invoice selection.
    Days to be considered for excise invoice selection Number of days from document date for excise invoice selection. 
    Example - If the value of this field is 20 and today is 28-03-97. The excise invoice selection will show the related invoices only for the period 08-03-97 to 28-03-97.
    Document type for TDS FI posting: Financial accounting document type for TDS posting.
    Document type for FI posting on Utilisation Financial accounting document type for TDS posting.
    Indicator for item level excise duty round off - This indicator is to be used for deciding whether Item level excise
    duty amount rounding off is required during procurement cycle. If marked 'X' then the excise duty amount will be rounded off to the nearest rupee at the Purchase order level. This will not round off the CENVAT credit to be taken. If the duty amount is less than one rupee then no rounding is done
    Rounding off of Excise duty for outgoing excise invoice - You can round off the Excise amount to be paid during an outgoing
    Excise invoice by marking this indicator as 'X'. The rounding is done at the item level for each item where the amount is greater than 1 Rupee. 
    Immediate Credit on Capital Goods - Instructs the system, when you verify a goods receipt for capital goods, to immediately post half of the input excise duty to the appropriate CENVAT accounts.  The rest is posted the CENVAT on hold account, for use in the following year.
    CVD Clearing Account - Specifies which G/L account the system credits when you take a CENVAT credit on countervailing duty in the Incoming Excise Invoices transaction.
    Exchange rate type - Key representing a type of exchange rate in the system. 
    - You enter the exchange rate type to store different exchange rates. Example - You can use the exchange rate type to define a buying rate, selling rate, or average rate for translating foreign currency amounts. You can use the average rate for the currency translation, and the bank buying and selling rates for valuation of foreign currency amounts. 
    Exchange rate type to be used for Export excise duty converts - When you are creating an Excise invoice for export sales then the exchange rate for duty calculation will be picked up using this Exchange rate type.
    Maintain Plant Settings - In this IMG activity, you maintain excise information relating to your plants.
    Plant Settings - In this activity, you maintain excise information relating to your plants.
    For each plant:
    - Specify whether it is a manufacturing site or a depot.
    - Assign it an excise registration ID. - You can assign the same ID to more than one plant, if required.
    Depot - Indicates that the plant in question is a depot. - Depots are required to prepare register RG 23D, and follow different procedures for goods receipt and invoice generation.
    - Number of goods receipt per excise invoice.
    - Multiple GR for one excise invoice, Single credit
    - Multiple GR for one excise invoice, multiple credit
    Maintain Excise Groups - In this IMG activity, you define your excise groups. For each excise group, you can also control how various excise invoice transactions will work.
    Excise Groups - In this activity, you define excise groups. An excise group allows you to maintain a separate set of excise registers and excise accounts. The RG 23A, RG 23C and PLA serial numbers are created for an excise group.
    Recommendation - Under normal circumstances, excise authorities require every business to maintain only one set of excise registers and one set of accounts.  But through exemption from the authorities, multiple books can be maintained.
    If your company has only one set of excise registers, then you need to maintain only one excise group.
    1. Create one excise group for each set of registers that you need to keep.
    2. Assign the excise groups to plants.
    3. Maintain whether this Excise group is for a depot or not. 
    If you receive only one consignment for an Excise challan then you can leave GR's per EI as blank. If you receive multiple GR's for a given Excise challan and would like to avail multiple credit mark the GRs per EI as 'Multiple GR's for one excise invoice, multiple credit'.   Alternatively if you want to availa the credit only after all the goods receipts have been made mark it as ' Multiple GR for one excise invoice, single credit'.
    4. If you want to automatically create Excise invoice during Sales cycle at the time of billing the tick the indicator 'Create EI'
    5. During depot sales if you do not want to do RG23D selection and posting separately and would like to complete RG23D selection in one step mark the indicator 'RG23D Auto post'. This will post the selected records into RG23D automatically. You cannot cancel the selection later. 
    6. If the indicator 'Default GR qty' is marked system will default the Excise challan quantity on to the Goods receipt if the Excise invoice number is given in the pop-up.
    7. If the indicator 'Folio no create' is marked system will generate Folio numbers for RG23D during receipt of excise invoice into depot.
    8. 'Automatic posting' when ticked will post the Excise invoice other movements automatically along with creation in single step.
    9. 'Create Part1 for Block Stock' when marked will create a Part1 during the receipt of material into Blocked stock .
    10. 'Create Part1 for STO' when marked will create a Part1 during the receipt of material through inter plant transfers. 
    11. 'Create Part1 for consumption stock' when marked will create a Part1 during the receipt of material into consumption stock. Excise Group Governs which set of excise registers a business transaction will be included in.
    Following is the relation between excise group, plant and registration. - In define excise groups in Customizing.
    Then, in transactions involving excise duty, for example, when you post a vendor's excise invoice, you specify which excise group you are using. This information tells the system which G/L accounts to post the excise to.  At the end of the period, when you come to prepare your excise registers, you create different sets for each excise group.
    Indicates that the plant in question is a depot. - Depots are required to prepare register RG 23D, and follow different  procedures for goods receipt and invoice generation. 
    - GR Per Excise Invoice
    - Multiple GR for one excise invoice , Multiple credit
    - Multiple GR for one excise invoice , Single Credit
    Create Excise Invoice Automatically - Instructs the system to automatically create a Sales and Distribution (SD) excise invoice immediately you create a commercial invoice or a pro forma invoice.
    The excise invoice is created in the background. - If you want to make use of this function, you must also define the
    default plant, excise group, and series groups in Customizing for Sales and Distribution (SD), by choosing Excise Group - Series Group Determination.
    RG23D Sales Creation and posting option - RG23D Automatic Option if selected will create Depot excise invoice by  posting the selection of excise invoices in single step.   If this is not selected then you need to separately do RG23D selection
    followed by PGI and then RG23D verification and posting.  If you need automatic posting of RG23D selection then the Post Goods Issue should have been completed before running RG23D selection. 
    Default excise qty in GR - If this indicator is ticked then while doing Goods Receipt using 'MB01' system will default the excise invoice quantity on to the Goods receipt document.
    Folio number for depo Posting - If this indicator is marked then while creating Excise invoice for other movements system automatically does the Verify and Post. You need not separately Post the excise invoice
    Also we can set indicator for creation of part 1 for:
    - Blocked stock 
    - Stock transport order
    - Consignment stock
    Maintain Series Group - In this IMG activity, you define the different excise series groups within your company. Series groups allow you to maintain multiple number ranges for the outgoing excise documents.  Based on excise regulations and exemptions from the authorities you can  maintain multiple number series for outgoing documents. But each of these series has to be declared to the excise authorities.
    - Define excise series groups based on type of outgoing document
    - Assign series group to excise registration ID
    - If no financial postings are required for an Excise invoice in this seris group then you tick the 'No utilization' indicator.
    - If the CENVAT has to be paid immediately and you need not wait for the Fort nightly payment then mark the 'Immediate Utilization' Iindicator.   Example - You could define two series groups, group 001 for excise invoices, and group 002 for 57 F4 documents. 
    - No account postings for CENVAT in sales cycle 
    - No utilization Flag
    If you do not need any CENVAT utilization for an excise invoice but would like to just generate an excise invoice then you need to mark this indicator.
    If the flag is checked then system will create an Excise invoice in the given Series group but there will not be any account postings or Part2 postings. 
    Immediate Utilization of CENVAT - Specifies that when you create an excise invoice, the system immediately pays the amount from CENVAT and creates the Part II entry. Such invoices will not be listed for fortnightly utilization.
    If you have both fortnightly and immediate utilization for the same excise group, the account determination within CIN IMG should point to the ED interim account.
    Account determination for immediate payment will be done exactly the same as being done for fortnightly utilization program.
    Maintain Excise Duty Indicators - In this IMG activity, you maintain the excise duty indicators. 
    IMG > Logistics - General > Tax On Goods Movement > India > Basic Settings > Determination of Excise Duty > Select Tax Calculation Procedure
    In this IMG activity, you specify which tax procedure you want to use for determining excise duties and sales taxes on input materials in  India.
    - If you use condition-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINN.
    - If you use formula-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINJ.
    This tax procedure also supports condition-based excise determination, so that you can work with both concurrently.
    We strongly recommend that new customers use condition-based excise determination. Note that once you have started using a tax procedure, you cannot switch to another one, otherwise you will not be able to display old documents. 
    Maintain Excise Defaults - In this IMG activity, you define which tax procedure and pricing condition types are used in calculating excise taxes using formula-based excise determination.
    If you use condition-based excise determination, fill out the CVD cond. field and leave all the others blank.
    If you use formula-based excise determination, fill out all of the fields as follows:
    - Enter the tax procedure and the pricing conditions that are relevant for excise tax processing.
    - Specify the purchasing and sales conditions types used for basic excise duty, additional excise duty, special excise duty, and cess.
    - Specify the conditions in the sales order that are used for excise rates.
    - Specify the countervailing duty condition type used for import purchase orders.
    See also : SAP Library -> Logistics -> Country Versions -> Asia-Pacific -> India -> Materials Management (MM) -> Condition-Based Excise Determination and -> Formula-Based Excise Determination. 
    IMG > Logistics - General > Tax On Goods Movement > India > Basic Settings > Determination of Excise Duty >
    Condition-Based Excise Determination 
    When you enter a purchasing document, for example, a purchase order, the R/3 System automatically calculates the applicable excise duties using the condition technique.
    Features : The standard system comes with two tax calculation procedures. TAXINN is only supports condition-based excise determination, whereas TAXINJ supports condition-based excise determination and formula-based excise  determination. Both tax procedures contain condition types that cover all of the excise duties and sales taxes applicable.
    Since the exact rates of excise duty can vary on a large number of factors, such as which vendor you purchase a material from, or which chapter ID the vendor stocks the material under, you create condition records for every sort of excise duty.
    When you come to enter a purchasing document, the system applies the excise duty at the rates you have entered in the condition records.
    Customizing : Make the settings in Customizing Basic -> India -> for Logistics – General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements Account -> Excise Duties Using Condition Technique and …-> Settings Determination. 
    These activities include one activity where you define a tax code for condition-based excise determination.
    Master Data - Create condition records for all excise duties that apply, and enter the tax code for condition-based excise determination in each. 
    Day-to-Day Activities -  When you enter a purchase order or other purchasing document, enter the tax code for condition-based excise determination in each line item. The system then calculates the excise duties using the condition records you have created.
    When the ordered materials arrive, you post the goods receipt and the excise invoice. The system posts the excise duty to the appropriate accounts for deductible input taxes when you enter the excise invoice. 
    Creating Condition Records for Excise Duty 
    1. In the command field, enter FV11 and choose . 
    2. Enter the condition type that you want to create a condition record for and choose . 
    The Key Combination dialog box appears.
    3. Select the combination of objects that you want to create the condition record for.   On the dialog box, Control Code means "chapter ID." So, for example, to create a condition record for a tax that applies to a combination of country, plant, and chapter ID, select Country/Plant/Control Code.
    4. Choose . 
    5. Enter data as required.  - In the Tax Code field, enter the dummy tax code that you have defined. 
    6. Save the condition record. 
    Formula-Based Excise Determination  -  When you execute a business transaction involving materials that are subject to excise duty, the system automatically calculates the duty for you.
    In order for the system to be able to determine which rate of excise duty to apply, you must have maintained all the data on the Excise Rate Maintenance screen, which you can Master Data®access from the SAP Easy Access screen by choosing Indirect Taxes Excise Rate Maintenance. 
    You maintain the following types of data:
    - Plant master data
    You assign each of your plants an excise duty indicator. You can use the same indicator for all the plants with the same excise status from a legal point of view, such as all those that are in an exempt zone. See also the information about manufacturers that are only entitled to deduct a certain portion of the duty (see Partial CENVAT Credit).
    - Vendor master data
    For each of your vendors with the same excise status from a legal perspective, you define an excise duty indicator. You must also specify the vendor type – for example, whether the vendor is a manufacturer, a depot, or a first-stage dealer. You must also stipulate if the vendor qualifies as a small-scale industry.  For each permutation of plant indicator and vendor indicator, you then create a final excise duty indicator.
    - Customer master data
    Similarly, you assign the same excise duty indicator to each of your customers that share the same legal excise status.
    Again, for each permutation of plant indicator and customer indicator, you then create a final excise duty indicator.
    - Material master data
    Each material is assigned a chapter ID. 
    - Excise tax rate
    For every chapter ID and final excise duty indicator, you maintain the rate of excise duty.
    If your business only qualifies for partial CENVAT credit, you must customize your system accordingly. 
    Let us consider an example to illustrate how the system determines which rate of excise duty to apply to a material. Assume you are posting a sale of ball bearings to a customer. The system automatically determines the rate of excise duty as follows:
    1. Looks up the customer master data to see what status you have assigned the customer. 
    Let's assume you've assigned the customer status 3. 
    2. Looks up the plant master data to see what status you have assigned the plant. Similarly, your plant has status 2.
    3. The system looks up the table under Excise Indicator for Plant and Customer to see what the final excise duty indicator is for customer status 3 and plant status 2: It is 7. 
    4. The system determines the chapter ID of the ball bearing for the plant. 
    Let’s assume the chapter ID at plant for the ball bearings is 1000.01.
    5. Finally, the system looks up the table under Excise Tax Rate to see what rate of duty applies to chapter ID 1000.01 under 
    status 7. 
    Define Tax Code for Purchasing Documents -  In this IMG activity, you define a tax code for the purposes of calculating excise duty when you enter purchasing documents. Only carry out this activity if you use condition-based excise
    determination. 
    - Create a new tax code, and set the tax code type to V (input tax). Do not make any other settings for it.
    - Assign Tax Code to Company Codes
    In this IMG activity, assign the tax code for purchasing documents to the company codes where it will be used.
    Only carry out this activity if you use condition-based excise determination.
    Classify Condition Types - In this IMG activity, you specify which condition types you use for which sort of tax. Note that this only applies to condition types that you use with the new excise determination method. The system uses this information when you create a document from  another one. For example, when you enter an incoming excise invoice from a
    purchase order, or when you create an outgoing excise invoice from a sales order, the system determines the various excise duties in the excise invoice using the information that you have entered here. In addition, when you create a purchasing document, the system only uses the condition types that you enter here.
    - For taxes on purchases, use the condition types contained in the tax procedure.
    - For taxes on sales, use the condition types contained in the pricing procedures.
    The standard system comes with sample settings for the tax calculation procedures and pricing procedures.
    Use these settings as a basis for your own.
    IMG > Logistics - General > Tax On Goods Movement > India > Account Determination
    Define G/L Accounts for Taxes - In this IMG activity, you specify which G/L accounts you will use to record which taxes.
    Requirements - You have set up G/L accounts for each of the processing keys listed below.
    - Assign an account to each of the following posting keys. The accounts for VS1, VS2, and VS3 are used as clearing accounts during excise  invoice verification.
    - VS1 (basic excise duty)
    - VS2 (additional excise duty)
    - VS3 (special excise duty)
    - VS5 (sales tax setoff)
    - MWS (central sales tax)
    - MW3 (local sales tax)
    - ESA (service tax)
    - ESE (service tax expense)
    Specify Excise Accounts per Excise Transaction - In this IMG activity, you specify which excise accounts (for excise
    duty and CENVAT) are to be posted to for the various transaction types.  Enter all the accounts that are affected by each transaction type.  If you use sub transaction types, enter the accounts for each sub transaction type as well.
    Transaction type UTLZ is used for determining accounts only while posting excise JVs and also if the payment of excise duty has to be done fortnightly.  The fortnightly CENVAT payment utility picks up the credit side accounts from the transaction types of GRPO, EWPO, and TR6C for determining the CENVAT and PLA accounts. There is no separate transaction type for fortnightly payment.
    Example:
    - Excise TT DC ind Account name
    - GRPO CR CENVAT clearing account
    - GRPO CR RG 23 BED account
    - GRPO DR CENVAT on hld account
    Specify G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction - In this IMG activity, you assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L
    accounts. When you come to execute the various transactions, the system determines which G/L accounts to post to by looking at the: 
    - Excise group
    - Company code
    - Chart of accounts
    Furthermore, if you want separate account determination settings within an excise group, you can also use sub transaction types. 
    Requirements
    You have already:
    - Defined the G/L accounts
    - Defined the excise groups
    - Maintained the transaction accounts
    Activities - For each excise group, assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts. For most businesses, one set of accounts will suffice for all transactions.
    Note : you need not remit the CENVAT to the excise department immediately, so maintain the credit account for transaction type DLFC as an excise duty interim account. This will be set off when you remit the duty.  Config setting needed to be done in order to get the Excise Details Screen in Material Master.
    Even though this functionality is available in enterprise version, a small configuration step has to be made in Screen Sequences for Material Master.
    Following document helps you to do this configuration.
    - Material Master à Logistics General 
    1. Go to IMG Define Structure of Data Screen for each Configuring the Material master Screen Sequence.
    2. Select your screen sequence. Usually it would be 21. Select the same and click on Data Screen in the left frame.
    3. Once the data screens are exhibited, select data screen no. 15, ie. SSq. 21and Scrn 15, which is “Foreign Trade: Import Data”. Select the same and click on Sub screens in the left frame.
    4. Go to the last sub screen i.e. 21-15-6 - SAPLMGD1- 0001 and select the same. Click on tab view sub screen and ensure that the sub screen is blank.
    5. Now in the last sub screen i.e. no.6 you delete SAPLMGD1 – 0001 and instead add SAPLJ1I_MATERIAL_MASTER and in the screen no. 2205. 
    6. Save the setting.
    7. Create a Material Master and check whether in Screen Foreign Trade 
    – Import, Excise related sub screen appears.

  • BC SETS creation and usage for sap mm  point of view

    Hi All,
    Need Information About  BC SETS  creation and usage from sap mm point of view.
    Thanks in advance for sap mm forum guys.
    Regards.
    Parameshwar.

    Hi,
    Customizing settings can be collected by processes into Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets). BC Sets make Customizing more transparent by documenting and analyzing the Customizing settings. They can also be used for a group rollout, where the customizing settings are bundled by the group headquarters and passed on in a structured way to its subsidiaries.
    BC Sets are provided by SAP for selected industry sectors, and customers can also create their own.
    When a BC Set is created, values and combinations of values are copied from the original Customizing tables into the BC Set and can be copied into in the tables, views and view clusters in the customer system. The BC Sets are always transported into the customer system in which Customizing is performed.
    Advantages of using BC Sets:
    1.     Efficient group rollout.
    2.     Industry sector systems are easier to create and maintain.
    3.     Customizing can be performed at a business level.
    4.     Change Management is quicker and safer.
    5.     Upgrade is simpler.
    To create BC sets follow the below step:
    Choose Tools ® Customizing ® Business Configuration Sets® Maintenance in the SAP
    menu, or enter the transaction code SCPR3 in the command field.
    Choose Bus.Conf.Set ® Create.

  • What are the questions they will ask for CIN point of view?

    hi,
    if anybody will have material for CIN configuration settings and questions
    for this point of view.
    thanks to all.

    Hi Arunteja,
    Basically Cin is divided in to two types:
    1. TAXINJ - Is a Routine Based that is used in the condition types. it will work on the logic what ever is there in the Routine.
    2. TAXINN: - Is a condition Record based. Means we have to create condition records for each and every condition type that you are going to use in the Pricing Procedure.
    Since Version 4.7 this TAXINN came into picture and start using this.
    And one of the important point is since 4.6 c CIN comes a separate package. But after introduction of 4.7 Version, CIN is coming the SAP Package itself and even in the Customer Master Record also we will find the CIN Icon.
    Basically 4 types of Pricing Procedures are used in CIN and are as follows:
    1.JDEPOT - Depot Sales
    2.JEXPOR - Export Sales
    3.JFACT - Factory Sales
    4.JSTKTR - Stock Transfer
    Country Version India comes with four pricing procedures as follows:
    • JINFAC (Sales from manufacturing plants)
    • JINEXP (Export sales)
    • JINDEP (Sales from depots)
    • JINSTK (Stock transfers

    Indicator for item level excise duty round off
    This indicator is to be used for deciding whether Item level excise duty amount rounding off is required during procurement cycle. If marked 'X' then the excise duty amount will be rounded off to the nearest rupee at the Purchase order level. This will not round off the CENVAT credit to be taken. If the duty amount is less than one rupee then no rounding is done
    Rounding off of Excise duty for outgoing excise invoice
    You can round off the Excise amount to be paid during an outgoing Excise invoice by marking this indicator as 'X'. The rounding is done at the item level for each item where the amount is greater than 1 Rupee.
    Immediate Credit on Capital Goods
    Instructs the system, when you verify a goods receipt for capital goods, to immediately post half of the input excise duty to the appropriate CENVAT accounts.
    The rest is posted the CENVAT on hold account, for use in the following year.
    CVD Clearing Account
    Specifies which G/L account the system credits when you take a CENVAT credit on countervailing duty in the Incoming Excise Invoices transaction.

    Exchange rate type to be used for Export excise duty converts
    When you are creating an Excise invoice for export sales then the exchange rate for duty calculation will be picked up using this Exchange rate type.
    Maintain Plant Settings
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you maintain excise information relating to your plants.
    Plant Settings
    In this activity, you maintain excise information relating to your plants.
    Activities
    For each plant:
    • Specify whether it is a manufacturing site or a depot.
    • Assign it an excise registration ID.
    You can assign the same ID to more than one plant, if required.
    Depot
    indicates that the plant in question is a depot.
    Dependencies
    Depots are required to prepare register RG 23D, and follow different procedures for goods receipt and invoice generation.
    Number of goods receipt per excise invoice.
    Multiple GR for one excise invoice, Single credit
    Multiple GR for one excise invoice, multiple credits
    Maintain Excise Groups
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you define your excise groups. For each excise group, you can also control how various excise invoice transactions will work.
    Excise Groups
    In this activity, you define excise groups. An excise group allows you to maintain a separate set of excise registers and excise accounts. The RG 23A, RG 23C and PLA serial numbers are created for an excise group.
    Recommendation
    Under normal circumstances, excise authorities require every business to maintain only one set of excise registers and one set of accounts. But through exemption from the authorities, multiple books can be maintained.
    If your company has only one set of excise registers, then you need to maintain only one excise group.
    Activities
    1. Create one excise group for each set of registers that you need to keep.
    1. Assign the excise groups to plants.
    2. Maintain whether this Excise group is for a depot or not.
    3. If you receive only one consignment for an Excise challan then you can leave GR's per EI as blank. If you receive multiple GR's for a given Excise challan and would like to avail multiple credit mark the GRs per EI as 'Multiple GR's for one excise invoice, multiple credit'. Alternatively if you want to avail the credit only after all the goods receipts have been made mark it as ' Multiple GR for one excise invoice, single credit'.
    4. If you want to automatically create Excise invoice during Sales cycle at the time of billing the tick the indicator 'Create EI'
    5. During depot sales if you do not want to do RG23D selection and posting separately and would like to complete RG23D selection in one step mark the indicator 'RG23D Auto post'. This will post the selected records into RG23D automatically. You cannot cancel the selection later.
    6. If the indicator 'Default GR qty' is marked system will default the Excise challan quantity on to the Goods receipt if the Excise invoice number is given in the pop-up.
    7. If the indicator 'Folio no creates' is marked system will generate Folio numbers for RG23D during receipt of excise invoice into depot.
    8. 'Automatic posting' when ticked will post the Excise invoice other movements automatically along with creation in single step.
    9. 'Create Part1 for Block Stock' when marked will create a Part1 during the receipt of material into Blocked stock.
    10. 'Create Part1 for STO' when marked will create a Part1 during the receipt of material through inter plant transfers.
    11. 'Create Part1 for consumption stock' when marked will create a Part1 during the receipt of material into consumption stock.
    Excise Group
    Governs which set of excise registers a business transaction will be included in.
    Following is the relation between excise group, plant and registration.
    Dependencies
    In define excise groups in Customizing.
    Then, in transactions involving excise duty, for example, when you post a vendor's excise invoice, you specify which excise group you are using. This information tells the system which G/L accounts to post the excise to.
    At the end of the period, when you come to prepare your excise registers, you create different sets for each excise group.
    Indicates that the plant in question is a depot.
    Dependencies
    Depots are required to prepare register RG 23D, and follow different procedures for goods receipt and invoice generation.
    GR Per Excise Invoice
    Multiple GR for one excise invoice , Multiple credit
    Multiple GR for one excise invoice , Single Credit
    Create Excise Invoice Automatically
    Instructs the system to automatically create a Sales and Distribution (SD) excise invoice immediately you create a commercial invoice or a pro forma invoice.
    The excise invoice is created in the background.
    Dependencies
    If you want to make use of this function, you must also define the default plant, excise group, and series groups in Customizing for Sales and Distribution (SD), by choosing Excise Group - Series Group Determination.
    RG23D Sales Creation and posting option
    RG23D Automatic Option if selected will create Depot excise invoice by posting the selection of excise invoices in single step.
    If this is not selected then you need to separately do RG23D selection followed by PGI and then RG23D verification and posting.
    If you need automatic posting of RG23D selection then the Post Goods Issue should have been completed before running RG23D selection.
    Default excise qty in GR
    If this indicator is ticked then while doing Goods Receipt using 'MB01' system will default the excise invoice quantity on to the Goods receipt document.
    Folio number for depo
    Posting
    If this indicator is marked then while creating Excise invoice for other movements system automatically does the Verify and Post. You need not separately Post the excise invoice
    Also we can set indicator for creation of part 1 for:
    Blocked stock
    Stock transport order
    Consignment stock
    Maintain Series Groups
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you define the different excise series groups within your company. Series groups allow you to maintain multiple number ranges for the outgoing excise documents.
    Based on excise regulations and exemptions from the authorities you can maintain multiple number series for outgoing documents. But each of these series has to be declared to the excise authorities.
    Activities
    • Define excise series groups based on type of outgoing document
    • Assign series group to excise registration ID
    • If no financial postings are required for an Excise invoice in this seris group then you tick the 'No utilization' indicator.
    • If the CENVAT has to be paid immediately and you need not wait for the Fort nightly payment then mark the 'Immediate Utilization' indicator.
    Example
    You could define two series groups, group 001 for excise invoices, and group 002 for 57 F4 documents.
    No account postings for CENVAT in sales cycle
    No utilization Flag
    If you do not need any CENVAT utilization for an excise invoice but would like to just generate an excise invoice then you need to mark this indicator.
    IF the flag is checked then system will create an Excise invoice in the given Series group but there will not be any account postings or Part2 postings.
    Immediate Utilization of CENVAT
    Specifies that when you create an excise invoice, the system immediately pays the amount from CENVAT and creates the Part II entry. Such invoices will not be listed for fortnightly utilization.
    If you have both fortnightly and immediate utilization for the same excise group, the account determination within CIN IMG should point to the ED interim account.
    Account determination for immediate payment will be done exactly the same as being done for fortnightly utilization program.
    Maintain Excise Duty Indicators
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you maintain the excise duty indicators.
    IMG > Logistics - General > Tax On Goods Movement > India > Basic Settings > Determination of Excise Duty >
    Select Tax Calculation Procedure
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you specify which tax procedure you want to use for determining excise duties and sales taxes on input materials in India.
    • If you use condition-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINN.
    • If you use formula-based excise determination, use a copy of the tax procedure TAXINJ.
    This tax procedure also supports condition-based excise determination, so that you can work with both concurrently.
    We strongly recommend that new customers use condition-based excise determination. Note that once you have started using a tax procedure, you cannot switch to another one, otherwise you will not be able to display old documents.
    Maintain Excise Defaults
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you define which tax procedure and pricing condition types are used in calculating excise taxes using formula-based excise determination.
    Activities
    If you use condition-based excise determination, fill out the CVD cond. field and leave all the others blank.
    If you use formula-based excise determination, fill out all of the fields as follows:
    • Enter the tax procedure and the pricing conditions that are relevant for excise tax processing.
    • Specify the purchasing and sales conditions types used for basic excise duty, additional excise duty, special excise duty, and cess.
    • Specify the conditions in the sales order that are used for excise rates.
    • Specify the countervailing duty condition type used for import purchase orders.

    Condition-Based Excise Determination
    Use
    When you enter a purchasing document, for example, a purchase order, the R/3 System automatically calculates the applicable excise duties using the condition technique.
    Features
    The standard system comes with two tax calculation procedures. TAXINN is only supports condition-based excise determination, whereas TAXINJ supports condition-based excise determination and formula-based excise determination. Both tax procedures contain condition types that cover all of the excise duties and sales taxes applicable.
    Since the exact rates of excise duty can vary on a large number of factors, such as which vendor you purchase a material from, or which chapter ID the vendor stocks the material under, you create condition records for every sort of excise duty.
    When you come to enter a purchasing document, the system applies the excise duty at the rates you have entered in the condition records.
    Activities
    Customizing
    Make for Logistics – General, by&#61614; India &#61614;the settings in Customizing Basic  Excise Duties Using&#61614;choosing Taxes on Goods Movements Account Settings Determination.&#61614;Condition Technique and …
    These activities include one activity where you define a tax code for condition-based excise determination.
    Master Data
    Create condition records for all excise duties that apply, and enter the tax code for condition-based excise determination in each.
    Day-to-Day Activities
    When you enter a purchase order or other purchasing document, enter the tax code for condition-based excise determination in each line item. The system then calculates the excise duties using the condition records you have created.
    When the ordered materials arrive, you post the goods receipt and the excise invoice. The system posts the excise duty to the appropriate accounts for deductible input taxes when you enter the excise invoice.
    Creating Condition Records for Excise Duty
    1. In the command field, enter FV11 and choose .
    2. Enter the condition type that you want to create a condition record for and choose .
    The Key Combination dialog box appears.
    3. Select the combination of objects that you want to create the condition record for.
    On the dialog box, Control Code means "chapter ID."
    So, for example, to create a condition record for a tax that applies to a combination of country, plant, and chapter ID, select Country/Plant/Control Code.
    4. Choose.
    5. Enter data as required.
    In the Tax Code field, enter the dummy tax code that you have defined.
    6. Save the condition record.
    Formula-Based Excise Determination
    Use
    When you execute a business transaction involving materials that are subject to excise duty, the system automatically calculates the duty for you.
    Prerequisites
    In order for the system to be able to determine which rate of excise duty to apply, you must have maintained all the data on the Excise Rate access from the SAP Easy&#61614;Maintenance screen, which you can Master Data &#61614;Access screen by choosing Indirect Taxes Excise Rate Maintenance.
    You maintain the following types of data:
    • Plant master data
    You assign each of your plants an excise duty indicator. You can use the same indicator for all the plants with the same excise status from a legal point of view, such as all those that are in an exempt zone.
    See also the information about manufacturers that are only entitled to deduct a certain portion of the duty (see Partial CENVAT Credit).
    • Vendor master data
    For each of your vendors with the same excise status from a legal perspective, you define an excise duty indicator. You must also specify the vendor type – for example, whether the vendor is a manufacturer, a depot, or a first-stage dealer. You must also stipulate if the vendor qualifies as a small-scale industry.
    For each permutation of plant indicator and vendor indicator, you then create a final excise duty indicator.
    • Customer master data
    similarly, you assign the same excise duty indicator to each of your customers that share the same legal excise status.
    Again, for each permutation of plant indicator and customer indicator, you then create a final excise duty indicator.
    • Material master data
    each material is assigned a chapter ID.
    • Excise tax rate
    For every chapter ID and final excise duty indicator, you maintain the rate of excise duty.
    If your business only qualifies for partial CENVAT credit, you must customize your system accordingly.
    Activities
    Let us consider an example to illustrate how the system determines which rate of excise duty to apply to a material. Assume you are posting a sale of ball bearings to a customer. The system automatically determines the rate of excise duty as follows:
    1. Looks up the customer master data to see what status you have assigned the customer.
    Let's assume you've assigned the customer status 3.
    2. Looks up the plant master data to see what status you have assigned the plant.
    Similarly, your plant has status 2.
    3. The system looks up the table under Excise Indicator for Plant and Customer to see what the final excise duty indictor is for customer status 3 and plant status 2: It is 7.
    4. The system determines the chapter ID of the ball bearing for the plant.
    Let’s assume the chapter ID at plant for the ball bearings is 1000.01.
    5. Finally, the system looks up the table under Excise Tax Rate to see what rate of duty applies to chapter ID 1000.01 under status 7.
    Define Tax Code for Purchasing Documents
    Use : In this IMG activity, you define a tax code for the purposes of calculating excise duty when you enter purchasing documents.
    Only carry out this activity if you use condition-based excise determination.
    Activities: Create a new tax code, and set the tax code type to V (input tax). Do not make any other settings for it.
    Assign Tax Code to Company Codes
    Use
    In this IMG activity, assign the tax code for purchasing documents to the company codes where it will be used.
    Only carry out this activity if you use condition-based excise determination.
    Classify Condition Types
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you specify which condition types you use for which sort of tax. Note that this only applies to condition types that you use with the new excise determination method.
    The system uses this information when you create a document from another one. For example, when you enter an incoming excise invoice from a purchase order, or when you create an outgoing excise invoice from a sales order, the system determines the various excise duties in the excise invoice using the information that you have entered here.
    In addition, when you create a purchasing document, the system only uses the condition types that you enter here.
    • For taxes on purchases, use the condition types contained in the tax procedure.
    • For taxes on sales, use the condition types contained in the pricing procedures.
    Standard settings
    The standard system comes with sample settings for the tax calculation procedures and pricing procedures.
    Use these settings as a basis for your own.
    IMG > Logistics - General > Tax On Goods Movement > India > Account Determination
    Define G/L Accounts for Taxes
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you specify which G/L accounts you will use to record which taxes.
    Requirements
    You have set up G/L accounts for each of the processing keys listed below.
    Activities
    Assign an account to each of the following posting keys. The accounts for VS1, VS2, and VS3 are used as clearing accounts during excise invoice verification.
    • VS1 (basic excise duty)
    • VS2 (additional excise duty)
    • VS3 (special excise duty)
    • VS5 (sales tax setoff)
    • MWS (central sales tax)
    • MW3 (local sales tax)
    • ESA (service tax)
    • ESE (service tax expense)
    Specify Excise Accounts per Excise Transaction
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you specify which excise accounts (for excise duty and CENVAT) are to be posted to for the various transaction types. Enter all the accounts that are affected by each transaction type.
    If you use subtransaction types, enter the accounts for each subtransaction type as well.
    Activities
    Transaction type UTLZ is used for determining accounts only while posting excise JVs and also if the payment of excise duty has to be done fortnightly.
    The fortnightly CENVAT payment utility picks up the credit side accounts from the transaction types of GRPO, EWPO, and TR6C for determining the CENVAT and PLA accounts. There is no separate transaction type for fortnightly payment.
    Example
    Excise TT DC ind Account name
    GRPO CR CENVAT clearing account
    GRPO CR RG 23 BED account
    GRPO DR CENVAT on hld account
    Specify G/L Accounts per Excise Transaction
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts.
    When you come to execute the various transactions, the system determines which G/L accounts to post to by looking at the:
    • Excise group
    • Company code
    • Chart of accounts
    Furthermore, if you want separate account determination settings within an excise group, you can also use sub transaction types.
    Requirements
    You have already:
    • Defined the G/L accounts
    • Defined the excise groups
    • Maintained the transaction accounts
    Activities
    For each excise group, assign the excise and CENVAT accounts to G/L accounts. For most businesses, one set of accounts will suffice for alltransactions.
    Note
    You need not remit the CENVAT to the excise department immediately, so maintain the credit account for transaction type DLFC as an excise duty interim account. This will be set off when you remit the duty.
    Config setting needed to be done in order to get the Excise Details Screen in Material Master.
    Even though this functionality is available in enterprise version, a small config step has to be made in Screen Sequences for Material Master.
    Following document helps you to do this configuration.
    &#61664; 1. Go to IMG Define Structure of&#61664; Logistics General &#61664;Material Master  Configuring the Material master Screen Sequence.&#61664;Data Screen for each
    2. Select your screen sequence. Usually it would be 21. Select the same and click on Data Screen in the left frame.
    3. Once the data screens are exhibited, select data screen no. 15, ie. SSq. 21and Scrn 15, which is “Foreign Trade: Import Data”. Select the same and click on Subscreens in the left frame.
    4. Go to the last sub screen i.e. 21-15-6 - SAPLMGD1- 0001 and select the same. Click on tab view subscreen and ensure that the subscreen is blank.
    5. Now in the last sub screen i.e. no.6 you delete SAPLMGD1 – 0001 and instead add SAPLJ1I_MATERIAL_MASTER and in the screen no. 2205.
    6. Save the setting.
    7. Create a Material Master and check whether in Screen Foreign Trade – Import, Excise related subscreen appears.

    2. Material / Chapter id combination :- Excisable materials with chapter id details for a plant is maintained in this master. In case of Raw and Packaging materials we will be maintaining for branch plant only. But in case of FG even CPs details will be maintained. If the material is a base material used for subcontracting then give a ‘tick’ in the check box in the coloumn subcontr’s. Choose relevant material type from drop down menu. In the coloumn GR-xref, select Multiple GR for one Excise invoice-Multiple credit from the drop down menu. Enter ‘1’ in the declared coloumn. With out this value in this coloumn the material will not be subjected to excise procedures.

  • Applying support packs, is there way to see all tables/view/clustered table

    We are applying support packs, and they are taking awhile.   Upon review it looks like it's adding some fields to some tables/clustered tables.  Is there a way to see all the tables/views/cluster tables that were updated.  I know I can look at version management, but if somebody can point me to the base tables to look at and I can do an sql to sort them for what I am looking for.   I want to make the changes to the update tables ahead of time by adding the column at the end, so there's no need for a conversion.

    you can find all the changes in Transport requests logs as below ;

  • Which design is best from a performance point of view?

    Hello
    I'm writing a small system that needs to track changes to certain columns on 4 different tables. I'm using triggers on those columns to write the changes to a single "change register" table, which has 12 columns. Beacuse the majority of tracked data is not shared between the tables, most of the columns will have null values. From a design point of view it is apparent that having 4 separate change register tables (one for each main table that is being tracked), would be better in terms of avoiding lots of null columns for each row, but I was trying to trade this off against having a single table to see all changes that have been made across the tracked tables.
    From a performance point of view though, will there be any real difference whether there are 4 separate tables or 1 single register table? I'm only ever going to be inserting into the register table, and then reading back from it at a later date and there won't be any indexes on it. Someone I work with suggested that there would be more overhead on the redo logs if a single table was used rather than 4 separate tables.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    David

    The volumes of data are going to be pretty small,
    maybe a couple of thousand records each day, it's an
    OLTP environment with 150 concurrent users max.Consider also the growing of data and if you'll put data constantly to an historical db or if the same tables will contain the increasing number of record.
    The point that my colleague raised was that multiple
    inserts into a single table across multiple
    transactions could cause a lot of redo contention,
    but I can't see how inserting into one table from
    multiple triggers would result in more redo
    contention that inserting into multiple tables. The
    updates that will fire the triggers are only ever
    going to be single row updates, and won't normally
    cause more than one trigger to fire within a single
    transaction. Is this a fair assumption to make?
    David
    I agree with you, the only thing I will consider, instead of redo problem, is the locking on the table that could be generated when logs of different tables will have to be put in a single table, i mean if after insert of a log record you could need to update it....
    In this case if 2 or more users have to update the same log you could have problems.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    ok this is very funny so if someone gets a good way to code he should wait till he gets 1198 points till he write a performance wiki
    so that means ppl who has high SDN points only can write wiki
    for your information wiki definition is
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki |http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki]
    its all about contribution and sharing.
    did you try that code on a production or a Quality server. If you did you wont say that coz the results i have shown in that blog is what i my self tested on a Quality system of our client.
    and for your information i did my internship at a SAP AFS consultancy firm and i created the account at that time. I have joined that company and now working as a developer over there.
    if you have worked on a client system development on SD and MM you will know that most of the time
    we use header and item tables like
    likp,lips
    vbak,vbap
    vbrk,vbrp
    most of the time we come across nested loops with smiler kind of condition.
    in this Q he has MATNR as reference.
    if you see it properly you can see both tables are sorted.
    and the select statement is for all entries.
    for your information there can be a delivery document item with out a header if you are aware of DB concepts in that case there will be a foreign key error.
    ok lets think about a situation like that even in that case if there ant any header data then simply the client wont request for that record.( you would know if you have worked with clients )
    last but not least i dont care about my points rate at SDN i just wanted to share what i know coz anyway i have a very good job here. dont try to put down ppl just because they are new.
    Thomas Zloch  : i never told its my code i saw it some where then i checked and i bogged it so that i can get it when i want and i saw it in se30 ( its not se38 ) but i know most of ABAP developers dont check it much so i just wanted to help.
    Rui Pedro Dantas   : ya your correct we dont need to use it most of the time since sorted table is easy but there are programs which works with bulky data load we can use it in places like that. Thanks for talking the truth
    Nafran
    sorry if i said anything to hurt anyone.

Maybe you are looking for
