Change in Screen Layout of PO for a particular Item category

Hi,
We are facing a typical issue after Upgrade of our system from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
Whenever we try to create a PO (in the newly upgraded system) with the Item category S (Third Party PO), the material number field goes blank and it becomes Non-Editable (even before saving the PO)...
However, on saving, EKPO table has the entries for the material number specified before entering the Item Category S. If we try to display the PO, it shows blank in the MATNR field.
This works fine with other item categories......we see this problem only with the item category S.
All the configurations (Screen Layout for Document Type, External Representation of Item category) are fine....but still we are facing this problem....
Any suggestions on this?
Thanks and Regards,
Gaurishankar

Hi Ninad,
I think I have mentioned it very clearly that it works for other item categories assigned to the same document type. It is a very basic setting that one has to check for issues related to PO screen layouts and I have done all those checks.
As stated earlier, this issue has come up after Upgrade, so just want to know if there is any known SAP Note or solution to this problem (if someone has faced it earlier).
However, thanks for your reply...
Regards,
Gaurishankar

Reason for creating new item category

when should we create a new item category

HI premkumar
A rule of thumb in SAP is "Not to change the Standard Setting" Either it is Order document, item category,schedule line, pricing procedure, delivery type, billing type e.t.c.
Basically it depends on the BUSINESS REQUIREMENT,why we go for customization. 90% of the BR will not fit into SAP STANDARD setting. So, when u have to change any of the existing setting like creating a New sales order document for particular business only ( Foods business..) ( though we generally use TAN as standard item category ) we can derive a cusomtized one as per our needs.
BR needs may be:
1. New Partner Determination procedure
2. New Text determination procedure.
3. New pricing setup
4. New incomplete procedure.
there are a lot more to come. When your Business needs any change in the existing TAN setting, SAP gives u the flexibility of creating new Item category.
Also, if you start changing STANDARD setting ( TAN) as per your needs, SAP doesn't support it when u have some problems or any UPGRADE issue.
This is the real need of CUSTOMIZATION in any Business /CLIENT.
Hope this helps.

How to create a sequence for an particular item in my apex form

Hi friends,
I created an database application, of a form with a report, and it is working fine...
But in my form, i have a requirement....The below are the existing fields in my form
issue no
created by
start date
status
priority
due date
Among these fields in my form i need to create a 'Sequence' for my field "issue no",
So that whenever i opened the form the 'issue number' must generate automatically like 1 for the first time, 2 for the second time and so on..
For that i created a sequence
CREATE SEQUENCE "ORDERS_SEQ"
MINVALUE 1
MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999
INCREMENT BY 1
START WITH 1000
NOCACHE
NOCYCLE;
But for validation where i need to write the sequence query for the particular item 'issue no'....i dont have any idea of where to write the validation query for the sequence..
please tell where i need to write in step wise manner..please help me friends...
As the below is my validated sequence query for item 'issue no'
'select seq.issue_id.nextval into issue_no'
This is my above validation query whether the query that i mentioned is right..if not let me know the validation query..
And also i need where to apply this validation query in steps..
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Harry...

Harry,
Rik is on the right track. Here is a sample insert trigger: Would need to substitute you sequence ORDERS_SEQ with my sequence las_log_seq, how you define or use timestamps is up to you.
DROP TRIGGER LASDEV.BINS1_LAS_LOG_TBL;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER LASDEV."BINS1_LAS_LOG_TBL"
   BEFORE INSERT
   ON las_log_tbl
   FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
   -- Description: Insert log_seq, creation_dt, creation_id,
   --              lst_updt_dt and lst_updt_id.
   -- Maintenance:
   -- Date        Actor          Action
   -- ====        =====          ======
   -- 07-Sep-2010 J. Wells       Create.
   :new.creation_id := nvl( v( 'app_user' ), user );
   :new.creation_dt := SYSDATE;
   :new.lst_updt_dt := :new.creation_dt;
   :new.lst_updt_id := :new.creation_id;
    SELECT las_log_seq.NEXTVAL
      INTO :new.las_log_seq
      FROM DUAL;
END bins1_las_log_tbl;

Individual serial number for a particular Item

Hi,
At reciept level when we are manually assigning Individual serial number for a particular Item in the serial entry Form (serial_entry Block).
Manual process For 10 Quantity its ok, but is taking time for 1000 Quantity.
Pls let us know if there any process to reduce manual activity to assigning Individual serial number for a particular Item in the serial entry Form (serial_entry Block).
Thanx,

You can receive by range.
Enter the starting serial number, enter the qty and then Oracle will generate 1000 serial numbers automatically.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A60725_05/html/comnls/us/po/connum.htm
Hope this answers your question,

Purchasing Info record screen layout not working for ME11

Dear All Experts,
I got requirement where GR Based IV and GR should be required for one vendor. So htought to create PIR from where I can make these two fields DEFAULT. So I went to table T162 from where I can make these two fields mandatory for ME11.
I followed the path : SPRO - Materials Management - Purchasing - Prcahsing Info Record - Define Screen Layout for making fields mandatory for ME11.
It is not working at all, as well I can see rest irrelevant fields which are not of my use are required. Have I missed any piece of configuration somewhere in MM ?
Experts guidance from forum will be very much appreciable.
Regards,
Revati Joshi.

HI,
as you know we can create purchasing info record manually as well as automatic at time of Po creation
If you mark it in ME11 manually it will be helpful to you
or you can mark its required field in Vendor master record as well for your vendor account group in following path.
Logistic general - Bunisess partner -vendors > control > define accont groups and field selection > select your account goups and click on details and double click on purchase data and check for "GR based invoice verification" and mark required field

Is there a way to change the ring tone to none for one particular contact?

I see there is an option to turn the text message settings for a particular contact to 'none'. Is there a way to change the ring tone to 'none' or 'silent' for only one contact. This is a person who calls way too often and I used to turn their ringer to 'none' when I had a blackberry. This way I can talk to this person when it is convenient for me and not have to listen to the ringer everytime they call.

You need to sync a silent ringtone to your phone & then assign it to that contact. Here's one already made:

Sending multiple email for free goods item category??

Hi,
we have requirement to send email (Z report in smartforms) automatically when sale order save in tcode VA01/VA02.
we made reqd config in tcode NACE and we set access sequence on ORDER TYPE and it's working fine. but the problem is that when order booked for item category free goods it sends multiple emails. (i.e. no. of line items = no. of email) for one order no. All other item category is working fine. only problem with the free goods.
I am an abaper. all config are made with the consent of SD consultant.
pls help.
thanks
Radhashyam Sahoo.

If you are an ABAPer, then it sounds like you simply need to debug the processing to identify where/why the fault occurs. As for the NACE settings, you should understand the config as well as your functional counterpart. It will make you a better developer and help you understand the processing code.

Consingment process for Brazil using item category K

Colleagues,
I found in SAP Help this document describing the use of item category K for Brazil environment.
This document shows the use of the item category together the brazilian movement 821, tax codes K5/K6 and notas fiscais.
http://help.sap.com/bp_bl603/BBLibrary/HTML/139_EN_BR.htm
This document information is different for the recomendation of forums. (consignment plant, consignment storage location, split valuation, 2 materials and others)
If this SAP document really works for Brazil will be very helpful.
Any colleague already used this solution for Brazil ?
How do you handle MIRO for this process ?
Fernando Moya

Ho colleagues,
The use of transaction MRKO does not apply for Brazil legal environment.
All Account payables should be done according the legal Brazil document called *Nota Fiscal* and them must go to the legal fiscal book.
The Brazil Environment has many specific details to cover legal requirements and SAP provides the country package for Brazil, including many new material movements to cover part of this legal requirements.
The consignment process is one of this process and by this reason the standard SAP routine cannot be used.
My question is specific to cover Brazil Localization and legal requirements.
Will be very helpful answers of colleagues with knowledge about Brazil localization.

Intercompany transfer for material with item category Erla

Hi,
I have a typical requirement.
I am creating a value pack(finish good) with item category mainatined as ERLA(while mat master creation) which consistes of 2 items.
I have maintained a BOM for this value pack(finished material).
Since ERLA is maintained,I can explode BOM in Sales Order creation(correct me if I am wrong)
This is okay for sales cycle.
I have following requirement
I want to do a Intecompany stock transfer of this value pack(i.e. finish good) with doc type NB.
The problem in this is that it gives error while creating outbound delivery stating some entries missing in table (do not exactly remember)for NLCC/DOGN.. something like that.
If anyone has done this type of scenario earlier then request you to send me the configuration settings required to be done in terms of Item category/Delievry combination etc etc .
This is quite urgent for me.
If there is any different way to map this Intecompany Stock Transfer of Material (with Item category maintained as ERLA) then please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
manOO

Hi
You maintain "Item category group" NORM in the Sales org 2 tab, this is used for sales organisation and distribution channel for Outboumd delivery.
The "General Item category group" does not refer to the Sales organisation and distribution channel, this is used for Inbound delivery.
In can create the material master in MM01, specify the "Material type" and "Industry sector" .
For, Item category determination in VOV4, you need to assign like this as below,
Sales doc type + Item category group + usage + Item category of higher level item = Item category.
Item category determination for free item,
OR + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN.
As beacuse you are giving the normal material as free, therefore you must give the indication to the system to use it as free material by specifying the usage as "FREE".

Changing Logon Screen WebAS ABAP: image for header

Hallo,
we would like to change the default logon screen of a WebAS ABAP 7.0 service (CLPBID - APO Collaborative Transportation Planning). The problem is the image for the header (SICF, service, tab error pages, tab logon erros, configuration, adjust links an images).
When we enter - for testing purposes - the URL "/SAP/PUBLIC/BC/Webicons/w_approv.gif", the GIF is displayed correctly. When we choose the URL "/SAP/PUBLIC/BC/Icons/s_aanode.GIF", the GIF is missing. We also created a new folder (SE80, MIME repository), e.g. "/SAP/PUBLIC/TEST" with a file test.gif. But this file is also not displayed on the logon page.
What is the difference between those folders. Are there any prerequsites for using other folders in the URL field? Security concerns? For claritys sake, we would like to create new folders with our own ressources...
Thank you very much
Sven Westenberg

We have not found a satisfactory solution up to know. We chose the WebIcons folder....

Configuration to add/Change WBS Screen layout ?

Hi Experts,
I am working on capital project; and required to chnage the WBS master data layout to only include relevant fields to capital process ..
I see that in SPRO, we can define screen subscreens in WBS. These subscreens will later be assigned against the project profile.
My question is how do i define subscreen in the first t-code. How /Where do i know what program and screen number to define in the configuration??
Also, if i want to include the assignment of IM position assignment as part of a WBS tab. (Edit > WBSE > Investment program > Investment program) How do i define this in the subscreen configuration??
Points will be awarded for helpful answers.
Monica

Go to SPRO and navigate to the settings for Layout for WBS element detail screen and then go to Define layout for WBS element details screen
click on copy standard button
enter your project profile and in the act cat enter *
You will now see the details for your WBS layout
Let us say thatyou want to enter the IM position etc on basic data tab then do as follows
when you can see the Detail screen 1,2,3,etc in the next empty one enter 17
Save
This can also be done from CJ20N, but I would not suggest that
Also when you transport you need to attach the whole table otherwise the transpot will not come through
