Configuration Structure

Hi Experts,
What is the best way to reuse/share all Configuration Structure elements such as folders, documentation, etc.
We would like to use Solution Directory as a central repository for all project documentation but as far as I know we can't import configuration structure including the documentation into the Solution Directory.
Please don't post any URLs to the SAP Help as I have seen it all.
We are using a template project but this is still doesn't meet the requirement of 1 document version for projects and operations.
I need some clarifications from an expert who have been in this situation.
Regards,
Ridouan

Thanks Michael,
I understand your point, but does projects really do that way? I mean that configuration is scattered partly in configuration structure (for common configurations) and partly within different levels of project structure and Organizational and Master data.
Has anybody choosen to consolidate all configuration in just configuration structure, where it will be easy to locate rather than finding pieces there and pieces here.

SOLAR02 Configuration structure versus Configuration tab

SOLAR02 offers two approaches to implement configuration in solution manager project tools:
maintain configuration structure (you find this in hierarchy tree on left-handside)
OR
configuration TAB on Business Scenario, Business process and Business Process step levels
configuration TAB on master data and organizational data nodes
What is the point having so many options?
Why would I use the Configuration structure option instead of configuration TABs? Examples of using Configuration structure?
Best practises???

Change Configuration Structure in SOLAR02 in SOLMAN 7.10

Folks,
I am looking to document the configuration of my project in SOLMAN and have created a project. In version 7.01 I was able to go into transaction SOLAR02 and click on the Configuration folder (not tab) and then choose 'Change Configuration Structure'. In the following screen I could create the hierarchical structure that would allow me to document and configure the supporting setup of my project.
However, in version 7.10 when I go to 'Change Configuration Structure' it gives me a screen saying that there is no configuration structure but no way to create it.
The Help documentation for version 7.10 indicates that I should be able to do this in the exact same manner as in version 7.01. I am on SOLMAN 7.10 SPS3; a ST01 authorisation trace indicates no errors and I have the appropriate work centre role (SAP_SOL_TC_COMP).
Any help in figuring out how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ciará

Folks,
The solution to this was the implementation of note 1674781. This applies to SP4 and is very new so has not been translated into English as yet but SAP Support assure me that there are no pre or post manual implementation tasks.
I've implemented the note and Configuration in SOLAR02 works perfectly now.

How to read configuration structure (SD)

Hello,
i've to read the whole configuration structure of an SD-order item, which isn't expanded to sub-positions. Means: the material in item 10 is an BOM head-material and a KMAT. The materials in the multi-level BOM are configured via the configuration of the head material. If you press the "Configuration" button in the SD-sales order, you see the whole configuration structure. Does anybody know how i can read the whole structure from the database if i know only the SD-order and the item number?
Thanks,
Richard

use FM to get config, you'll have to pass cuobj there.
call function 'CUCB_GET_CONFIGURATION'
   exporting
        instance                     = vbap-cuobj
   importing
        configuration                = z_instance_tab
   exceptions
        invalid_instance             = 1
        instance_is_a_classification = 2
        others                       = 3

How to configure structured material

when I try to post material with movement type 319 by MB1B, system showed to me 'Movement type 319 can only be carried out for structured material'. Please tell me how to configure structured material? it is better to provide more detail information.thanks,

Hi
I can see the question has been in the forum for quite sometime, but I would like to provide input perhaps to enable you to close it. Structured material based on my experience only applicable to IS-Retail. It is meant for gift pack that contains a few articles in it. Since you log this question in this forum, I would assume you dont have IS Retail. Perhaps you should consider other mvt to solve the problem that you are facing right now.

How to copy documents from SOLAR02 configuration structure into Solution

Hi,
in SOLOA02 we have stored our cross scenario configuration in the solution structure on top level node 'configuration' as described in the help 'Implementation and Upgrade Projects'->'projects'->'configuration'->'Edit cross scenario configuration'.
During hand-over from project to support I want to copy the information stored under configuration into our solution directory (TC SOLUTION_DIRECTORY). In the solution structure there is no top level node 'configuration'. Only 'Org Unkits, Master Dtaa, Business Scenarios, Interface Scenarios, Systems, Servers.
Can I customize the default solution structure and add the missing node? Is there another way to copy the documents?
Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
the only way to relate the configuration structure from a project to a solution is via a maintenance project. You need to assign a maintenance project to your solution (on the solution settings tab). This will create a solution node in the maintenance project. You can now copy the configuration structure from your implementation project to the configuration structure underneath the solution node of the maintenance project.
Best regards,
Michael

Ibase and configuration error while creating a Service Contract

Hi,
I am creating a Service Contract programatically and not manually through the T-code CRMD_ORDER.
I am using the Function module CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE for the same as the FM BAPI_BUSPROCESSND_CREATEMULTI and CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN did not work for me because of the number of parameters that needs to be passed for creating the Service contract.
The Service contract does get created but there are errors corresponding to the Point of delivery and configuration missing.
The error corresponding to the point of delivery says "IS-U:allocate a point of delivery to the item" even though I am passing the values in the REF_OBJECTS field of the CRMXIF_BUSTRANS_ITEM structure.

In Solution Manager, where can I find the SRM 7.0 Configuration Guide?

Please give me directions on how to download the SRM 7.0 configuration guide within Solution Manager, these documents are not available on the service marketplace. We have sol manager 4 I believe, it's not sol manger 7.0.
Also, if you could send me the guide at matt.joseph at thq.com that would save me from losing more time trying to figure out Solution Manger
Thanks for your help.
Matt

Matt,
1. Log on to your SAP Solution Manager system.
2. To be able to access configuration documentation, create a project as follows:
1. Create your project with transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN for project administration.
2. Connect your SAP system to SAP Solution Manager with transaction SMSY for the SAP Solution Manager system landscape.
3. Create a project structure and add the required scenarios for your SAP system to your project structure with the Business Blueprint transaction SOLAR01,
4. Add your SAP system configuration structures to your project structure with the configuration transaction SOLAR02.
3. Go to the project structure folder <project name> using transaction SOLAR02.
4. Access configuration documentation for SAP NetWeaver usage types at Configuration StructureSAP NetWeaver 7.0.
5. Access configuration documentation for all areas of SAP SRM at Configuration StructureSAP SRM <release>.

BW FICA extract structures corrupted after upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6

Hi All. After the upgrade an include (FKKBWP) in the extract structure FKKOPBW_BASIC contained a field belonging to the APPEND structure ZAFKKOPBW_BASIC (originating from enhancing the configured structure). Also ZAFKKOPBW_BASIC is not visible in FKKOPBW_BASIC anymore, although when checking/activating the structure it complains about duplicate fields, which can only happen if ZAFKKOPBW_BASIC is still referenced. Furthermore, some new includes have also appeared in the extract, amongst others FKKOPBW_EVOLVED.
I have not been able to find any documentation regarding this. Two different systems were upgraded and the structures were corrupted in both systems in the same way, so this is not a fluke.
The application dumps when one tries to access it via SBIW->Settings for Application-Specific DataSources->Contract accounts receivable->Define Fields for the Extraction of Open Items, because the config and structures do not match.
All of this also applies to the Cleared Items as well.
Has anybody encountered this or can somebody point me to some documentation referering to this problem?

Johan Loock

Watching price condition in sales order during configuration product

Hello evrybody,
I have a little question about product configuration during the sales order creation.
I have done all my configuration structure and I have add prices on certain characteristics.
However, I would like to see the price of each value of characteristic when I click on the matchcode to select the component what I need (column Condition scheduled to dysplay "Pricing information on a value").
Can you help me please ?
Thanks a lot for your help !!!
Thierry

Hi Rieu,
I believe you are referring F4 to display the prices values instead of the conditions. You need two notes to avail the functionality. Notes 1259021 (VC ) and 1267335 (SD). If you want the values to be shown then please ensure that c_condition_price is set to X in INCLUDE LCEI0FS4

Error Occured when Applying Structural Authorizations in E-Recruitment

Dear Experts,
The E-Recruitment functionalities were working fine when no structural authorizations are applied. However, when structural authorizations are configured for the user on the backend SAP system (I configured structural authorizations for the user to have access to only his own department), the E-Recruitment module does not work.
When I tried to access requisitions-> maintenace, application management->applications, etc, (i.e. when the E-Recruitment module tries to retrieve data from the backend), the the following error message occurred.
Error when processing your request
What has happened?
The URL http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_int/application.do was not called due to an error.
Note

The termination type was: RABAX_STATE
The ABAP call stack was:

Please advice if E-Recruitment supports structural authorizations. If it does, are there additional configuration required to enable structural authorization. Kindly enlighten me on how to resolve this error. Any help will be much appreciated.

Hello Louis,
I implemented e-recruiting with structural authorizations for a customer and encountered exactly the same error. Anything in the e-recruiting implementation leads to this problem. When you miss some object authorizations the implementation generates an infinite callstack which results in this short dump.
So be sure you assigned all necessary objects to recruiters and also candidates (NA, NB, NC, ND, NE, NF, BP, CP, P, Q, QK, VA, VB, VC) but this might be difficult esp. with the P object, when you use structural authorizations for other purposes, too. This usually generates problems in manager involvement (e.g. manager can't choose a recruiter to approve his requisition as he has not the structural authorization for the hr department members).
It is also a bit strange that candidates need for example change rights for the requisition (NB) although they won't actually change it but without it the relation application->requisition, candidacy->requsition cannot be created correctly.
Last but not least be always sure that you refreshed the authorization buffers after changing structural authorizations. They are usually switched on for better performance.
Best regards
Roman Weise
PS: be aware that using structural authorizations will keep you busy for some time. we needed ~2 months to set up the system in a way that e-recruiting worked as the custoimer wanted without interfering any other productive hr component (admin, org. mgmnt., managers desktop).

Consuming Material Having Variant Configuration

HI
We are using Variant Configuration for our semi finished product and its
batch managed.There are two plants in one plant say A and B. In A plant
we are using Variant configuration.The same material is stock transferred
to plant B and is further processed.
We are creating CIR in plant B. After taking MRP run we are converting
planned order to purchase requisition and subsequently Stock transfer
purchase order on Plant A. When the material is produced in plant A,it is
transferred to plant B on stock transfer order mentioned above. But the
material is against CIR in plant B. We remove the material from CIR
through 411E movement and system keep it as free stock in unrestricted.
Now when i am consuming this material for further processing in
production order of Material getting manufactured system is asking me for
Variant Characteristics.
System should not ask me variant characteristics once it has been removed
from CIR i.e. special stock.
Any Work around avilable.
Regards,
Anand.

Hi Anand,
Finally, I could understand your issue from your CSS message.
In your description, AA is configurable material in both plant A and plant B, BB is not a configurable material in plant B, AA is a component of material BB, so when you produce BB, there will be dependent requirement generated for AA from BB, now you want to use the stock of AA to fullfill the dependent requirement, however, the system will require you to enter the characteristic at that time.
Then where is the stock of AA comes from? I have mentioned this in my previous reply. But as I have mentioned it is not correct to have unristricted stock for the configurable material, therefore, your process to have free stock of AA is not correct.
Another point is that, your process to have configurable material as a component of a non-configurable material is also not proper.
For example, material BB is a Car, material AA is the Door of the Car, your Car is not configurable, but the Door is configurable, you may have green door and red door according to the configuration, but as your car is a firmed material then what's the meaning to have different door, if you want to have different door, then that means you also need to have different color of the car, like green door for green car, red door for red car, then that means your car should be also a configurable material to make you can select the color of the car too.
Or if your Car is a firmed material as green car, then do you think there is any meaning to configure the door of the car? Unless you do want a red door for a green car, but this can also be realized with a configurable car.
So normally, like your situation, you should use multi-level configuration structure to do the production in make to order scenario.
Therefore, still the problem has been described in my previous reply, no matter how you get the stock of AA, the AA is produced with the configured configuration module, so the stock of AA is also with the configuration data, then no matter how you want to consume the stock of AA, system will always ask for the characteristic of the requirement to compare it with the stock configuration to see if they are same.
For example, you are producing your Car, but as far as I can see you should have no place to configure the door in production order, therefore when you try to consume the door, the system will of course need to know which color you want, because if you want red door but there is only stock of green door, then how the system should do in your opinion?
Then finially, the best way of solving your issue is to have material variant for the configurable material, like the door, you may have material variant as green door and red door, if your firmed Car is green car, then you can use green door as the firmed component, if your firmed Car is red car, then you can use red door as the firmed component, also when you do the production, you could simply produce the green door directly without configure the door, because the material variant is a stockable item but the configurable material is not, then your scenario would be very simple and there will no such problem any more.
If you do still want to keep your scenario, but don't want the system requires you enter the charateristics, then you may have to do the modification of the goods movement transaction to disable that, but it may lead to the inconsistency situation, like actually you want red door, but what you have in stock is green door, without that, you may consume the green door stock for the red door requirement, then it will mess up all the following process.
Also as you are doing the goods movement in MM transaction, so if there is user-exit could be used to change this behavior is decided by MM function, however, base on my checking there will be no such user-exit to control this behavior at MM side, because the consequnce is really dangerous for the system operation.
Therefore, I think the best way for you is still adjust your production scenario to make your production standard, then SAP system will accept that standard production scenario under your requirement.
Thanks and regards,
Rachel

Problems with variant configuration using BAPI on Business connector

Hi every body I need help.
Steps.
1.- I created an RFC with BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 and then a commit function,
I call this RFC via SAp business connector
Im triying to create a Configure order(With characteristics) I fill all configuration structures exactly like note 567348.
I created a sales order but when i checked ti in VA01 transaction the order quantys are diferents at configuration tables, if the function is executed on directly on SAP this work fine the error is only in a SAP Business Connector
Is necesary to send another parameter when i Execute Bapis on SAPBC?

Edited by: Jan Stallkamp on Jun 27, 2008 4:21 PM

Hi,
Just debug your SAP BC service in which you are calling the RFC and check if proper values are getting mappend to your input variables of RFC.
If that is correct than there wont be much chances of problem in BC.
