Change RPM Item Type after Item creation

There is a requirement where RPM Item Type needs to be changed for an Item after it is created.
Using the Override in SPRO we can enable field for change. But it does not really change all Decision points etc. I think it would not happen since ITem type drives everything once the item is created.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Also, any other alternatives for this requirement besides starting all over again to create the Item?
Thanks!

Hi,
1 - Map the permitted item types in the path: SAP Portfolio and Project Management > Portfolio Management > Global Customizing > Portfolio-Independent Settings > Define Portfolio Item Types
Select an item type, a decision point and then set the permitted item types for switch to.
2 - Make settings for process flow in the path: SAP Portfolio and Project Management > Portfolio Management > Global Customizing > Portfolio-Independent Settings > Process Flow for Items > Make Settings for the status mapping for itens
3 - In the portfolio item click in the "Change Process" yellow button.
3.1 Chosse the item type
3.2 Select "Delete previous decision points"
3.3 Save
Best regards,
Jonatan

Workflow with item type and item key is in progress. Abort existing workfl

Dear all,
I'm using the below code from the submit button event to launch the workflow. The workflow works fine when I submit for the first time, when i try to submit for the second time from the same session it throws me the error as Workflow with item type and item key is in progress. Abort existing workflow.
Where I am struck,Kindly send me any solution.
I am using below code in oaf
public void workflow(OAPageContext pageContext,
String headerId,
String empName,
String userName
String wfItemType = "XXSample";
String wfProcess = "XXSample";
String wfItemKey = headerId;
OANavigation wfClass = new OANavigation();
// Create Workflow Process
wfClass.createProcess(pageContext, wfItemType, wfProcess, wfItemKey);
System.out.println("Workflow created");
wfClass.setItemAttrText(pageContext,
wfItemType,
wfItemKey,
"XXHDRID",
headerId);
wfClass.setItemAttrText(pageContext,
wfItemType,
wfItemKey,
"XXEMPNAME",
employeeName);
wfClass.setItemOwner(pageContext, wfItemType, wfItemKey,username);
wfClass.startProcess(pageContext, wfItemType, wfProcess, wfItemKey);
System.out.println("Workflow started");
Thanks,
Kumar.

Item type and item key forms unique record for the workflow session, you cannot have 2 instances of the workflow running for the same header id, in your case. Check if the process exists for the header id. If so, display a warning message without launching another workflow session, else start the workflow process.
Thanks

Item Type "List Item" dosn't work

I've tried to give the item type of a item to List item
After compiling, I launch the form and I get this:
NoClassDefFoundError
Plugin Java 10.7.2.11
Version JRE 1.6.0_31-b05 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
Could it be because of something incompatible in my versions? But it's first time it happens (only with List items)
Database: Oracle 10gXE
Forms Builder: 10.1.2.0.2
JRE: 1.6.0_31
Jinitiator: 1.3.1.22
Thanks in advance!

This error should only appear when you use a list-item with the list-type set to combobox. A combobox in forms is a listitem where you can also enter your own text. If you nly need a dropdown list, set the liststyle to poplist. This works also without patching. if you really need the combobox, patch.

Changing a fields type after validation

I am having an issue with trying to figure out how to change a fields type (i.e. User Entered - Required) after I validate a test sheet that the user filled out. It is basically an interactive answer sheet that grades itself when the user is finished answering the questions, I just need to know how to make that field read-only after the user has finished the test. Any ideas on how to go about doing this?
Thanks,
Ryan Crocker

No, it would be
GradeTest.access = "open";

Unable to check'relevant for delivery' for 'Standard' Item type in Item cat

Hi
I am facing a strange situation in SAP when I tried to create a new
Item category with Item type as 'Standard' & 'Relevant for Delivery',I
am getting a message that 'Relevant for Delivery'is possible only with
Value Item & Text Item...We have an other Item category in the system
which is of Item Type 'Standard' & 'Relevant for Delivery'..We could
create that Item category without any issues..Could you please let me know
why system is behaving differently when we have same combinations( Item
type as 'Standard' & 'Relevant for Delivery'.)
Regards
Prasad

Hi Ramesh
Thanks for your response..
Only if we check'relevant for delivery' field the item will appear in the delivery document.

Changing FPGA target types after Obselescence

Hi. Can anyone advise of a clean way to migrate or copy / paste my CLIP modules between FPGA targets, please? I've about 30 test rigs, each testig a different product. Each contains a PXI-7833R card. We had one fall over recently and I learned that the card is now obsolete. The PXI-7842R is touted as a drop-in replacement. I'm finding the software support for migrating in the project to the new FPGA somewhat cumbersome. I had hoped I could simply change the device type in FPGA target properties, but it appears that I can't change the FPGA target type; apparently the target device can only be set when the target is first created in the project. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, since the contents of the old (7833) target can be copied and pasted into the new (7842) target within the project. However, my FPGAs are now using VHDL components and the CLIP properties cannot be copied / pasted: they need to be added and configured manually, which is quite labourious. Each of my pijects might have 10 CLIP modules to manually configure and I'm dreading it, but in order to minimise test rig downtime in the event of a failure, I wish to build each of these projects for the new PXI-7842R target hardware in advance of requiring it. Anything the community can suggest would be a help. Thanks.

It probably would have been a good idea to hit "Preview" before posting. This is a re-post, but much more pleasing to the eyes!!

Ship to party address no change in sales order after delivery creation

hi
We have a below requirement
After creation of delivery document,we should not be able to go and change ship to party in va02 of sales order..
Tried using partner functions config,but it disables ship to party change completely...
But we want to disable ship to party change only if delivery is already created.
regards
sudha

hi swetha,
as per my understanding goes:
you need to make SH field GREY when a delivery document is generated for it.
but now even if delivery is created or not SH field is GREYED.
you can use
USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK in program MV45AFZZ
LOGIC : when ever the sales order status is completed or partially completed then only this SH field should be GREYED other wise NOT.
hope this clears your issue & please check from your end

Change of "Revenue posting" after the creation of an order

Hi all,
I would like to change the tick "Revenue posting" on the internal order level. There was a mistake in the setting while creating internal order type (I forgot to say "Revenue postings allowed" on the internal order type level). Since then many internal orders have been created and changing of this status on internal order type level does not help anymore for the created internal orders.
The SAP help says: You set the indicator in the order type. It is copied from the order type when you create new orders. Order that already exist are not changed when you set this indicator at a later date in the order type.
Do you have any experience with this? What did you do?
Thank you for any advice.

Hello Vaclav!

Possible to conditionally change item type?

Hi there,
I've been trying to find a possibility to change the item type (text item) into another (disabled text-item) based on the value of that field.
Thus far I haven't found it. Is there anybody who knows if this is possible and how I can do it?
Thanks!
Jacob

Hello Jacob,
>> I've been trying to find a possibility to change the item type (text item) into another (disabled text-item) based on the value of that field.
You should check the “Read Only” section of the item. It allows you to define a condition to set the item as “readOnly”, and in version 3.1 also allows you to define a proper (different) style for it.
Hope this helps,
Arie.

Hi Muthu,
Thanks for your quick response. Now I solved the issue of product category. Actually problem was that, we have huge number of product categories (approx 2000) and I have maintained (*) in attribute. So when system is searching for product categories, it takes lots of time and later it time outs. Now I have maintained a small range of category in attribute and it works.
Now one more problem is coming. When I am trying to check or save the shopping cart system throwing a short dump. Kindly help

Portfolio Type dependent Item Types

Hi,
Is there a way in which we can restrict the item types to a particular portfolio type?
During the creation of an item, the item types relevant for that portfolio type should only be displayed for selection.
Please let me know on how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Priyatham

Also, just a heads-up:
If you enable this feature while rendering obsolete any older Item Types, the "Item Type" field in the Item Details screen of older Items will display its Code and not its Text values. Not to worry though if the Items are closed or in final state (and no longer require modification), as the Item Dashboard will still show textual values regardless of portfolio-specific settings.
Crisis averted there.
True scenario:
I made this change fairly recently along with modifying Project Templates. The requirement was to change template/standard project structures, and I thought it best practice to retain and simply "Flag as Obsolete" any older templates. The major change in the template was that the the number of Phases in the new template are now less than the template to be retired. Some projects were already in-flight and we could not simply reuse the old Item Types (and modify their DPs) as while testing I found that the deleted DPs would:
Display in the UI with their code values (like 'ZDP001')
Disallow status updates, and
Automatically set the "Active DP" flag for the deleted DP, within items with final DP set to final status. (i.e. project is ready to close)
The result was that Items couldn't be closed properly! Either way, the above approach caused data inconsistencies so it was unacceptable. Hence, this would be one practical reason to maintain portfolio-dependent item types
Just for reference, here's what the configuration looked like, with Portfolio-Dependent Settings and default/Permitted Item Types:
Portfolio-Dependent Item Types:
Default Templates: (shows obsolete Item Type codes)
Item Type field displayed as code in Item Details:
(Note: In standard, this field is set to Read-Only, but for the sake of illustration I'm showing you the valid item types in the dropdown --- and it does NOT include the obsolete Item Type 'Z001')
Solution:
Implement the following OSS Note:
Note 1953807 - Item Type ID is displayed in Item Overview
I hope this helps you get out of a pickle, before your users even get to that state.

Changing doc. type after creating a doc. type.

Hi Friends,
We are doing our time ageing from the time of creating the document in DMS. We created a document with particular doc. type wrongly, after two days we found that the DMS creation was done with wrong doc. type. In this how to transfer to new correct doc. Type, if we delete this & create a new we canu2019t get any info that it was created two days back.
We made Z report for this time ageing report.

You cannot change the document type after the document has been created. The only way to do this would be with an enhancement and this would create major issues with the integrity of your system

Item Type Icon

I added an icon to my URL "Item Type Properties". But, I don't see the icon on any URL items. I added every attribute to the "Displayed Attributes" for the region, and I still don't see any item type icons. The "Available Attributes" in "Edit Region" doesn't list anything like "Item Icon" anyway.
Oracle Portal Version: 10.1.2.0.2
How can I show the item icon? Or, what is it used for?
Thanks.

Hi Brian,
You're talking about a mime type icon, and those are shown for a File Item. Those work fine. I'm talking about the Icon associated with the Item Type, where you specify the Icon in the "Item Type Properties" when you edit the Item Type.
For example, I made an "External URL" Item type:
Base Item Type: Base URL
Name: EXTERNALURL
Display Name: External URL
Description: <none>
Icon: <this is where I added my icon, and it's displayed in the properties here...>
Help URL For Add Item Wizard: <none>
Help URL For Edit Item Wizard: <none>
In this Edit Item Type area, there are also tabs for "Item Type Attributes" and "Procedures". I don't think those apply.
When I make an External URL item, there's no icon.
Again, the portal version I'm using is 10.1.2.0.2.

Changing Document Type after making progress with project. Is it possible?

Can I still change my document type after I already started my project? I want to change it to print type.

Just what do you mean by "print type"?
Do you mean changing the document Color Mode to CMYK color from RGB color? If so, sure, you can do that at any time.
If you mean changing the "file type" (file format) (say from PSD to TIFF, etc.) you just do a Save As to create a new document in whatever format you want.

Traded Item Types

Hello,
I am curious if there are some additional examples or information you can provide that help to further clarify the intended use cases of traded item types within PLM4P:
Traded Unit
Traded Unit (copack)
Traded Unit (not for resale)
Traded Unit (not for resale - copack)
Consumer Unit
Consumer Unit (copack)
Consumer Unit (not for resale)
Consumer Unit (not for resale - copack)

From the online documentation:
Item Type—The item type selected determines which fields and sections are visible on
specification. For example, co-pack items have sections available to create supply
associations and formulation breakdowns. These sections are unavailable for other
trade item types. Available item types are as follows:
Consumer Unit—Represents the lowest levels of the item hierarchy. This type
can be used to represent Eaches and Inner Packs depending on what other
specifications are linked to it.
Consumer Unit (co-pack)—Represent the lowest level of the hierarchy that is
produced for you by someone else. This type has the ability to record percent
breakdown information and might be used for a can of green beans produced
on your company’s behalf.
Consumer Unit (not for resale - co-pack)—Represents the lowest level of the
hierarchy that is produced for you by someone else but is not intended for
individual sale. This type might be used for a bottle of pickle relish in a picnic
pack that is produced on your company’s behalf.
Consumer Unit (not for resale)—Represents the lowest level of the hierarchy
that is not intended for individual sale.
Traded Unit—Represents the orderable units of the item hierarchy. This type
can be used to represent Cases, Pallets, Display Shippers, or Mixed Modules
depending on what other specifications are linked to it.
Traded Unit (co-pack)—Represents the orderable units of the hierarchy that
are produced for you by someone else. This type has the ability to record
percent breakdown information and might be used for a case or pallet of green
beans produced on your company’s behalf.
Traded Unit (no children - co-pack)—Represents a specification that is both
the orderable unit and the consumer unit all in one. It does not have any
children linked to it but can have a percent breakdown. This type might be
used for a barrel of vegetable oil that is produced on your company’s behalf.
Traded Unit (no children)—This type would represent a specification that is
both the orderable unit and the consumer unit all in one. It does not have any
children linked to it
Is this the information you needed?
Regards,
Ron
