Changing section numbers depending on order

I work on a lot of documents that have numbered sections. These sections are headed by "Section Title: Section Number" on the initial page and "Section Title: Section Description" on subsequent pages of that section. My problem is that frequently the names of the sections change as well as the order that they're in.
I set up custom text variables for the section titles. That seems to work well enough. I can go in and change the variable which changes all instances of it in that section. My bigger problem is that whenever a section get reordered I have to go in and manually update all the section numbers.
Is there a solution to this? Thanks in advance.

Does the section number appear on the document page somewhere, like in a heading? You'd normally pick up smething like that using a Running Head type variable, which can be set to pick up either a paragraph style (so it grabs an entire paragraph) or a character style (limited text). You can apply character style that is nothing but a name, with no acutal attributes, to selected text to make it work in the variable, if you need to.
You also have the choice of first on page or last on page. If there is no text on the page with the style, ID looks backwards through the document until it finds the first instance to use.

Keep Quote line item numbers in Sales order

While creating a Sales order from Quote, SAP always creates line items with 100,200,300...and so on.
If quote has 3 line items say 100,110, & 120 and we create a sales order with reference to this quote in VA01. The sales order line items become 100,200 & 300.
The requirement is for Sales order to also have same line item numbers i.e. 100,110 & 120.
To retain quote line item numbers in Sales order the ABAP change will be in VOFM or user exit?

Hi,
It is not a straight forward thing. Adding data to table XVBAP won't work. It will create inconsistency. There are so many other tables involve here too, like, VBPA, VBUP, VBKD, KONV. There can be other tables too based on how your sales order is configured.
Also, modifying these tables (XTAB, YTAB ) in this user-exit may cause database inconsistency.

U00A7LO-VC - Changing Fields in a Sales Order

Hi LO-VC / SAP Guru's,
I had a question to see if any one is using or if my understanding of the functionality available in user exits: Exit_SAPLCEI0_001 and Exit_SAPFV45S_002 is accurate.
What we are trying to accomplish:
1. Using a generic material (say a configurable Vehicle) we would like to change the part number in the sales order line item to change the configurable material to the appropriate type Car / Truck that we want to configure.
For example;
1. Material = Vehicle
Characteristics selection = Car or Truck selection.- I'm going to choose a CAR for this example.
Depending on if it is a Car or Truck the configuration exits, changes the Sales line item to CAR and we are able to enter all the configuration attributes now for CAR since the part number on the sales line item has been automatically changed.
Goal: Simplify our order entry process for our sales team, so they do not need to remember if they should choose Part number CAR or Truck (configurable KMAT's). While this example is very simple, our business is complicated and has upwards of 1000 KMAT's. So we need a method to simplify the front entry screen and provide a logical CU60 table to choose what KMAT material the sales line item should use (e.g. Magic Decoder Ring).
Thoughts, Comments, Suggestions on how to accomplish this differently or more simply?
Thanks,
Ed

Hi Ed,
Base on your information, it seems you want to enter material Vehicle first in the sales order item, then in the configuration screen, you select the characteristic of Vehicle as Car, then the sales order item will change to Car and the configuration also changed to others to enable you configure Car instead.
I don't think it is possible in standard, because even you have many configurable materials, when you create the sales order for the customer, you should already know what material the customer want, so I can't see the meaning to change the material in order item, why when you create the sales order you only know the customer want Vehicle but don't know they want a Car? If so why do you create such a sales order when you don't know what you need to sale?
Second, when the material is maintained in the order item, the system will always read this material to do the configuration, I don't think it is possible to switch the configuration between materials. Maybe you can have the Car and Truck as the class node component or something else in the BOM for Vehicle, then a multi-level configuration could take place in the sales order...
Please review SAP note 644574 for the two user-exits you mentioned.

Rachel

I'm having a devil of a time changing page numbers even though I'm following the instructions for doing so. Any tips?

I imported an already paginated text from Word into Pages to format it for a book. I don't wan the first few pages numbered, so I've been trying to begin page one at the beginning of chapter one. I've followed the instructions for changing page numbers, i.e., click next to page you want to change; in dialogue box click "start new header /footer; a new section is created; click Setup, click Section; in page numbering section, select "Start at" and enter a new starting number." In trying to do this often I can't get the dialogue box, or when I do, I get a new section that commences with a blank page. Or, the dialogue box that should allow me to change numbers never appears. Help!

Is this for the Mac or iOS?
You only have iOS 7.0.4 as atag.

Change WBS in CJ20N - Service Order change log

Hi PS experts
Scenario.
Service order 1 has WBS element A.
User goes into CJ20N and changes the WBS ID/ name to A2.
Service order 1 now automatically has WBS element A2. However, if you look at the change logs on the service order, there isn't one for the allocation of this WBS change. Is there a way of updating the change order log for the service order? When saving in CJ20N it must update the service order through the back door.
Thanks for looking.

System stores the WBS element using external and internal numbers. What the user has changed in your case is only the external number and the internal number (which is system generated) would remain the same.
That's the reason the external ID is updated in SO. Don't think you can get his logged in change log of order. Is change document activated for the order type? Even if checked I really doubt if this would be logged using standard.
Let's see other views on this.

Changing page numbering

Hi everyone,
I have a 24-page facing pages document. The first and last pages are the cover for this booklet I'm doing, and the first page will be on the inside cover and therefore a left hand page. I'm using master pages for the inner pages of the booklet and have used automatic page number on these master pages. With it set up like this, the second page of the file (which is actually page 1 of the inner pages) is showing as page 2 since it's a left hand page being the inside cover, but I need it to show page 1. I tried clicking on this second page and choosing "Numbering and Section Options" and then chose "Start page numbering at 1", this changes the page number to 1 but it also makes this page a right hand page whereas in fact I need it to stay a left hand page and just change the numbering.
Is this possible in Indesign CS2?
Appreciate any advice.

^ There is something to be said for David's response and I would certainly check with your printer before sending it to them.
If you do need to number your pages such that odd numbers fall on LH pages, uncheck "Allow Pages to Shuffle" from the flyout menu of the Pages Palette before changing the section start.
We actually have to do this in Teacher Editions quite frequently because the A, B, C teacher insert pages frequently start on a the left page (and A is equivalent to 1 in InDesign's pagination brain).

FM 10 Index section numbering issue

I have created an index and everything is perfect except how the section numbers have been generated. The number 10 is generating before 1-9. (Please note the reason 10 generates before 1-9 is because within the Reference page, I have switched the tags to read as follows: <$numerics><$alphabetics><$symbols>). I have also tried the <$paranumonly> tag, and that did not help. However, If <$numerics> is after <$alphabetics> and before <$symbols>, the section numbers will generate: 1, 10, 2-9.
Here are a few examples:
Massachusetts
6.4.10 441
6.4.11 442
6.4.12 443
6.4.13 445
6.4.14 445
6.4.15 446
6.4.8 439
6.4.9 439
- showing that 6.4.8 and 6.4.9 should go before 6.4.10
federal law
10.5.5 625
10.5.6 627
10.5.7 628
10.5.8 632
1.2.11 37
- 1.2.11 should go before 10.5.5
I have researched this for a couple days and cannot find an answer. Please help me.
Thank you!

Emalie – I think there are some basics you haven’t got the hang of:
Square brackets in entries are optional; if they don’t exist, it’s the ordinary, non-bracketed text, that is indexed.
if you do add square brackets to the index entry, the entry is considered in two parts.
The text outside the brackets is what is printed in the index, i.e. what the reader will see.
The text in the brackets is the sort order and does not appear in the visible entry.
It’s useful if you want to index St as Saint, for example: St Paul’s Cathedral[Saint Paul] would be indexed before Stepford; or to list names in firstname-surname order, but alphabetise them by surname, such as Tony Blair[Blair T], George W. Bush[Bush G], which would make an index in which Bush follows Blair, despite the fact that George would come before Tony.
Note that you don’t need to put the whole entry inside the brackets, just enough to make sure it sorts as you wish. The content is never seen by the reader.
Now that I see more of your index, I’m prompted to ask a more fundamental question. It’s there to guide the reader, and would normally contain terms that the reader is going to look up. Are entries such as 6.4.13.445 meaningful to someone consulting your index? Forgive the interference, but do they need to be indexed at all?

Reports to track changes on Deliveries and Sales order

Hi All
Do you perhaps know of a specific report that could possibly track changes made to a Sales order and delivery at line item level.
The problem is change log only logs the deletion of the line item but not the actual material number.
Do we have to enhance existing reports to achieve visibility for deletion of line items.
Regards
KC

Hi Lakshi
Thank you very much for that feedback the thing is that you can search that on an order per order basis and even when you get to the change log you will not be able to see what material number was deleted.
That is the problem.
Has anyone experienced this wher the requirement was to have a report to run so see what changes have been made to orders or deliveries that they could view wholistically.
Kind Regards

Change Delivery date in Sales Order

Hi all
I want to change Request Delivery Date in Sales Order. But when I changed Request Delivery Date system appear" The default date is not copied into existing schedule lines"
And Delivery Date didn't change.Could you tell me how to change Delivery Date ?
I setup Request Delivery Date - September 21th but Availability Date is September 19th. Could you tell me how to setup loading time, picking time, packing time ?
Thank and Best regards,
Thang

Hi,
When you change the Request Delivery Date, it automatically changes the schedule line date of all the materials, but by default does not change the schedule line date of the ordered material.
So just check the ordered material schedule line date and change it manually in the order.
Similarly maintain the same date in all the resp fieldsi in the delivery, wherever you see the date.
Regards,
Siddharth.

How do I change the value of the Order By field in an MP3 file?

good day Guys,
I'm new here in the forum and I have a question that is "breaking" the order of my songs and my head too ...
How do I change the value of the Order By field in an MP3 file?
for example, in the photo below, the song "The Bad Touch" is coming BEFORE the song "A Little Respect", this happens because of the Name field to Order ...
My "problem" is in the photo below, the "tab" Order, iTunes will not let me erase what is written in the "Sort As" ...
I've been "collecting" several songs over SEVERAL years
I'm currently with more than 1,500 songs on HD and several backups on DVDs and external hard drives and I think, download it again, will be a "little" laborious and boring
I DON'T WANT to be filling the tags of songs (name, singer, CD, year, etc.)
I have used the program Mp3tag to remove the music tags
I've tried to download the song again and go through Mp3tag program as if it were a new song
I've changed the music access permissions, folder and even entire hard drive (my Windows has only one user)
I've tried to catch the song again, from a previous backup
I've tried to create a copy of the file at iTunes own
I've tried to create a new music file in a music recording program
NOTHING of what I did above resolved
-> I'm using Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate
-> I'm using iTunes 12.1.1.4 for 64-bit Windows
-> My iPad is the third generation (a little old, I know) with Wi-Fi and 3G, but it has served me VERY WELL
-> The iPad is updated with iOS 8.1.3 and is not unlocked
I'm sorry for the GIANT post, but well, I think I could explain as much as possible and for my English, too bad, by the way, I'm from Brazil and I'm using Google translator
Hugs and await answers,
Paulo Ricardo

hello turingtest2,
my language is Brazilian Portuguese (there are some little differences between Brazilian Portuguese and the Portuguese of Portugal, but nothing that interferes with the script)
at this time, I'm managing songs manually, I don't know if this will interfere with the execution of a script or command
as I picked up this iPad recently, I still don't understand how to set up the iTunes Music Library and the person who gave me, told me it was easier to put the songs manually
as you said, in my iTunes, 95% of the songs are with ALL the blank fields, including the Name to Sort field, only songs that begin with a/an/the standing with the Name to Sort field filled with name of the song, without the a/the
I do not know what to do...
I want to learn to ride the iTunes Music Library, that my work is less
you know any site that teaches create/manage my iTunes Music Library?
this site/forum may be in English, no problem
thanks for all your help and the help of others who responded to my request

When creating a custom SearchPlugin, is it possible to add more code such as uppercase conversion of the SearchText and IF statements that change the URL depending on what is typed?

When creating a custom SearchPlugin, is it possible to add more code such as uppercase conversion of the searchTerms and IF statements that change the URL depending on the searchTerms? Every time I try to add something firefox doesn't want to add it as a search plugin. I need to create a more powerful search tool for personal use.

I've found some external software applications that will do it, so that leads me to believe its not possible within ID CC.

How to change the Organizational Dependency of a Set Type

Hi All,
With the creation of a new set type we made the mistake to not select "Distribution-Chain-Dependent" in the "Org. Dependency"-field.
Now we already maintained a few materials (only in development system) with data in the attributes of this set type, but noticed that the data is not Sales org. dependent. Seems logical, because we forgot to set this org dependency in the set type, but now we want to correct this and I hope you could provide us with the best way to do this.
The field it self is no longer editable in change mode (seems logical, since all tables/structures/relations are already created and messing with this dependency could mess things up) but we really need the org dependency for our product attibutes. So, I wanted to create a new set type, and replace the old one with this new one in our category, but I can't even delete the old set type from our category, because I get the message: "Products of this category already exist; Set type cannot be deleted".
What would be the best way to solve this? (is there a way to change the org dependency of the existing set type?/should I create a new set type? If so, how to delete the old set type and it's data?)
Br,
Martijn.

Anyone?
