Configure-to-Order (CTO) Production with Variant Configuration and Assembly

We are trying to create a Configure-to-Order (CTO) Production with Variant Configuration and Assembly Processing.
I have set up the required master data for variant configuration which is working fine in a sales order. I have used startegy group 82 in the MRP view of the material master for Finished goods/header material. A production order with BOM explosion is getting generated automatically during the creation of the sales order.I have stock of components available. Uploaded using 561 movement type (unrestricted stock).The requirement class that is being determined is 201.
ISSUE:
Availability check of the components in the production order that is getting automatically generated during sales order creation is failing. The components are not getting confirmed inspite of initialising the stock of the components in the plant we are using.
I am looking for pointers on the important settings related to the availability check in Configure to Order scenario that have to checked to resolve this issue.
TIA

Hi,
Availability check controls for Production order will be done in OPJK for plant , order type combination. Based on the settings either for creation or release system will carry Availability check of components. you can set the controls such that release can be possible even if parts are missing.
If you have settings to restrict the release if components are missing and there is stock in unrestricted, then you need to transfer the stock to the sales order using MB1B and 413 movement type so that system can recognize the availability and allow the release of order.
Based on your requiremnts you can map the settings in OPJK
Hope this will help

The Mystery of the Duplicating Photos with Varying resolutions and Sizes by Sony Z1 Compact

about the duplicating photos with varying resolutions and Sizes problem... I have a band-aid fix to this without deleting everything in your phone. What you do is to find time to actually MANUALLY DELETE the extra photos. Don't delete it by Taping on the Album app and deleting everything on the home photos.
Instead tap the album then on the UPPER LEFT CORNER (If you've updated the albums) tap the 3 bars beside the album icon to access the album menu, then tap the FOLDERS choice.
You should see alot of folders with Thumbnails named with numbers and different resolutions. Delete all the folders labeled as Thumbnails or cache. *note that you cannot delete whole folders but the folder gets deleted automatically after all the contents inside it is deleted
Afterwards, go to your phone's settings->App-> Album
Then tap the Clear Data button
After that restart your phone.
This actually "fixes" the problem for a while but usually after a few restarts or Phone charge the folders comeback and you have to redo the whole process again. But the folders that are made becomes fewer than the 1st occurrence of this problem and deleting the photos shouldn't take as long as the 1st.
Honestly i think this is definitely an Application bug and should be fixed by Sony, since you know its their built in app for Multimedia

yea that also helps since it's a bug caused by the new update. I'm just waiting for Sony to fix the bug, i don't really mind deleting the thumbnails

ok. I hope someone can answer my question. I am new to photoshop. I need version cs4 in order to work with a designer and printer on some logo work. I've tried to download it but it just gives me individual files with no installer and nothing - including the adobe "instructions" seems to work. How can i get this software in a downloadable format? is it actually free - I'm assuming it is... Hope someone knows the answer to these questions...

The download itself is free and is valid for 30 days only. After that, the software ceases to work.
CS4 is pretty old, no longer sold and no longer supported by Adobe. It's also not compatible with many modern OSes.
Why do you have to work with such an obsolete version of Photoshop?
What kind of "designer" uses it?

Make to stock planning for a finished product with variant attributes

Hello All,
I have one finished product with different characteristics like color and sizes, I have to create demand for the same finished product
and to define different characteristics but should get one planned order for each combination of characteristics. Can anybody suggest how to create demand in make to stock situation.

Hi ,
Try using "Planning with Planning Material' .
1: Define Planning material ( which is never produced) & it's BOM with only common assemblies( Finished product specific assmblies should not be added here)
2: Create Finished products seperately & assign planning material to Finished products. Finished product BOM should contain common assemblies & Variant assemblies
2:Enter Planned independent req for planning material & run MRP , it will generate procurement of it's common componenets
3: SO for Finished product reduces PIR of planning material & triggers Final assembly.
4: Planning with planning material should be 60 strategy . it must be entered in both planning material & Finsihed goods.
This is possible with make -to stock as seperate Finished goods are created for each combinatin of color & sizes.
Hope it helps,
Jatin

Sales Order cost estimate with variant config

Hi
I'm hoping for some advice on costing on a variant material.
I have created a sales order for a variant material and ran a cost estimate to get costs for the sales order. Should this populate a cost condition within the sales order pricing? How can the margin be seen in the sales order?
Thanks for your help.
Ashley Shannon

Hello Ashley
Yes, if you have done your settings correctly, especially Requirements class set up (see the documentation link), then the cost estimate will flow to a condition type in Pricing, usually EK01/EK02 conditions. These conditions are used to calculate sales prices (PR00) in cost-plus (mark-up) scenarios.
Link: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/90/ba6da4446711d189420000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
However Profit margin as calculated in a sales order comes from VPRS condition (which is based in Material Master) and is the difference of net value and VPRS condition value in normal circumstance.
Hope other more knowledgeable experts will weigh in.

Creation of Service Product with Set Type and Attribute

Dear All,
Please guide me with proper step by step process,
How to create the product with the set type and attribute for service industry in sap crm 7.0
Regards,

Hi Nitin,
Before creating the Service type of product, you have to define the Base category for Service type product. Generally the category for service will be created under the R3 hierarchy R3PRODSTYPE. You can create this category using the TCode:
COMM_HIERARCHY. Here you have to select the product type as Service and have to assign the set types to the category.
You can create a service product using the transaction : COMMPR01 -> Click on Service ICON -> Select the Category for Service Type. Then fill in the details for Service Product description, Service ID(Based on number range settings for products), Language.
Also fill other details like Base Unit of measure, Pricing condition for different sales areas for the service product.
Since you are using CRM7.0, you can do all these activities using a POWER USER role.
For more information about Set types and hierarchies please refer the following help link:

"Make-to-Order Production with Variant Configuration (147)" doesn't work ..

Hi, I'm trying to run through this scenario ) on the Cloud Showroom and clearly the document I have (147_BPP_EN_UK.doc dated Oct 2008) is out of date or at least out of sync with the system as configured u2018in the cloudu2019 u2026.. the necessary roles specified in the document are not available in the cloud and some of the transactions are not there, e.g. VL10I.
But more infuriating is that the process just does seem to work, for instance from page 13 u2026.
Item 7 ...
"If a material variant can be determined on the Display Material Variant screen, select the configurable line item and choose Enter. In this case the previous configurable material number will be replaced by the new configurable variant that was created. For example, F1000-M1 will replace F1000 if Type of Material Material Metal and Type of Packaging Normal is selected."
In my case Iu2019m not clear what the u201CDisplay Material Variant screenu201D is u2013 the previous instruction (Item 6) from the document says u201CWhen all of the configurable choices have been selected, choose Back.u201C which takes you back to the document overview. Highlighting the line and pressing enter doesnu2019t do anything and there is no option to select the configurable line item that I can find so the expected material substitution doesnu2019t happenu2026.
I've got a couple of screen scrapes that show the approriate variant material being specified and found (Characteristic Value Assignment) but there doesn't seem to be any way to attach to the forum. I have tried to double click the variant material on the Characteristic Value Assignment screen and also tried clicking clicking once and then 'entering' but neither method resulted in the necessary substitution (i.e. the overview screen still shows F1000 and not the variant material F1000-P1 that has been specified?
Also the schedule line was confirmed as deliverable u2018todayu2019 even through there is not stock u2026 all very puzzling u2013 any help much appreciated.
Regards.

I found the answer to this myself - I was looking at out of date best practice documents on our server, the latest bast practive documents are written for EHP4 and therefore should work on the 'cloud'.

Can no longer order an iMac with wireless KB and mouse?

Hi,
I just figure out that when someone try to order the iMac, the only keyboard choice is wired. I think this disapear at the same time the wireless mighty mouse arrived.
Am I wrong?
Thanks

Hi,
I had this problem. The stores had them in a package with the wirelesss
keyboard and mouse but they were not available on-line. I had to order on-line to get some upgrades but could not have the wireless package...Catch 22.
So when I called in my order I complained that I could not effectively get what I wanted and without much pressure I was offered a discount if I bought the wireless keyboard and mouse as extra. They knocked off £50 sterling (I'm in the UK) from the total cost. So, for about £40 more (which was the extra cost of the wireless pack in the store) I got what I wanted. With the added bonus of having a spare wired mouse and keyboard which are currently still all wrapped up in their box.
I only placed my order on the 17th and receieved it last Friday so it should be a current deal. I hope it is not too late to help you out.
Cheers.
Chris

Need table with Variant ID and Long Description

Hello,
I have a list of ZPAK_* infopackages that I want to translate to their Long Description names. I can search by the Variant ID in RSA1 and find the name but this is a long process and I have over 100 infopackages.
Does anyone know of a table that has both of these fields?
Thank you

Thank you

Problems with bill copying control and materials with variant configuration

Hi experts,
I have a problem with a bill copying control and the way that my customer is trying to create and print the Bill (VF01).
Let me explain...They have in a Sales Order a material with variant configuration per position, each one can have many characteristics. This characteristics must be printing on the billing document, creating different bills 'coz the max. lines number is 18, so the bill must change page per material-characteristics.
Example:
Max. Number Lines = 3
Position 10
Material A
     -Characteristic A
     -Characteristic B
     -Characteristic C     (Bill 1)
     -Characteristic D
     -Characteristic E
     -Characteristic F     (Bill 2)
Position 20
Material B
     -Characteristic A     (Bill 3) counting characteristics upside
     -Characteristic B
     -Characteristic C
     -Characteristic D     (Bill 4)
I created on Tx VOFM (Data Transfer-Billing documents) a routine trying to control this jump, but my problem is when I'm creating the Bill document (VF01) this work only by position, the debugging enter per position.. so I don't have any control to tell the program must count the characteristics and create another bill.
So... Somebody can help me..or have any idea to solve this problem.....
Thxs a lot!!!!
Diego Helfer

HI Diego
For our coming assignment, we do have similar sort of situation. Currently we are in Requirements Gathering phase.
Though we do not have Variant Configuration in place, we do have restriction for no..of items to be used for printing in Billing Documents.
Current proposal is that we will restrict at Sales Order Creation. If the number of items are increasing, we will restrict saving the document and loading has to be done again. As itz better to restrict at initial phase.
Our schema is One Sales Order -> One Delivery -> One Billig Document.
   Will post if we can manage to acheive some other way and do request you the same.
Kind Regards

GR for Production order not possible with settlement receiver as IO

Hi
I have created a production order and the settlement rule is to an internal order. But it does not allow me to do goods receipt. Pl tell me what to do.
Thanks
kamala

Hi,
SAP recommands production order settlment to be beow object and additional CO Object COPA.
Settlement Receivers Depending on the Scenario
1.Make-to-stock production >>The make-to-stock inventory (receiver = material) >> COPA
2.Sales-order-related production with a valuated sales order stock>>The valuated sales order stock (receiver = material)>>COPA
3. Sales-order-related production with a nonvaluated sales order stock>>The sales order item (receiver = sales order)>>COPA
The scenario you are trying is doesn't fit into standard SAP framework for production order so please try said scenario with CO production order. Again CO production orders mostly recommondable without PP so figure out impact on cross modules.
Regards,Ashok.

Add purchase order in SAP with sdk

Hi Experts:
I am doing an aplication for to export a purchase order to SAP with the SDK and I need to read the document number of the last purchase order that was added.
Wich method can I use?
Thanks.

Hi Silvia,
You can use the GetNewObjectKey method right after you have created a new document. You can then get the DocNum using the GetByKey method.
Here an example in VB.NET (if you use C#, it is easy to translate):
'We declare a new document of type delivery
'and set all the necessary properties and values
'We then add the new delivery note
If oDeliveryNote.Add = 0 Then
     Dim tmpDel As Documents = vCmp.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oDeliveryNotes)
     'Then using the GetByKey method together with the GetNewObjectKey method,
     'we can get all kinds of interesting info about the newly created delivery note
     If tmpDel.GetByKey(vCmp.GetNewObjectKey) Then
          'Let's populate some variables that we declared earlier
          DelNr = tmpDel.DocNum
          NumAtcard = tmpDel.NumAtCard
          CardCode = tmpDel.CardCode
          DocType = tmpDel.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_type").Value
    End If
End If
The same code applies to all document types.
Good luck,
Johan

Copying Queries from one infoset to the other with variants

Hello Gurus,
I have two infosets (A & B) based on logical database PNPCE. Infoset A & B are exactly the same. Now, I want to copy the queries of infoset A to infoset B.
I am unable to copy the queries with variants. And I am getting following message:
Error when copying query report XXXXXXX= with variants. Error when importing query
FYI, I am able to copy the queries without variants successfully, using 'Sap Query: Special Copy Functions'.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ikram

I think you are right. I see now that I am overcomplicating things.
To answer your question, no I do not add any color adjustments to the individual compound clips. I double click into the compound clips and make color adjustments to each of the angles from the multicam clip. When copying a clip made from the same multi cam clip from one project to another, any color adjustments made to the angles of that multicam clip that was copied over from the other project, does not carry over to the same multicam clips to the new project it was copied to - even if you break the compound clip apart to just the multicam clip, at least that's what I've noticed.
But as you said, the easier thing to do, and this makes total sense now, would be create your multicam clip, and use keywords to label the parts in the browser, then drag the clips to the timeline as you need them. I'm assuming that the color corrections you apply to the angles on the timeline will be automatically applied to new keyword clips you drag to the timeline? Also, to name those multicam clips on the timelines, would you use markers? Is this correct?
I really need to watch a few online tutorials on compound clips, but what Luis said has really cleared things up for me.
Thanks so much for your help and patience guys!

Need help with workflow: New iMac with SSD & HDD and Pegasus Promise

Hello everyone! I've decided to upgrade my iMac and ordered an i7 with the SSD and HDD drive configuration as well as the Pegasus Promise 12TB drive. I've been researching as to what's the best way to manage both the SSD and HDD drives and I really haven't seen an end-all answer. Now with the purchase of the Pegasus Promise, I'm more confused as to what's the best approach to take. Here are my thoughts:
1. Use the SSD as the boot and application drive and the HDD for the users folder.
2. Use the SSD as the boot and application drive, the HDD for the users folder, and photos and pics onto the Pegasus.
3. Use the SSD as the boot and application drive, the Pegasus for the users folder, and the HDD for ???
4. Just use the Pegasus drive as the boot drive and use it for everything. (being that it's a RAID drive, then all my files are backed-up already)
Majority of my space-filling files are my iTunes folder, tons of pictures from using Aperture, and iMovie for videos.
Thanks in advance for everyone's input and help!

I'm working on a similar premise. i7, SSD, HDD, Promise raid, etc.
I'm nowhere near as savvy as a lot of the people here, but after a lot of research I decided that focusing on how the Pegasus gets configured is the most important for me. My concerns are for a business in photography, btw.
I can't budget the 12TB unit so I'm trying to make the most of either the R4-8tb or th R6-6tb.
I'm planning to launch the applications from the SSD. I will use the Mac HDD for typical non-photographic files, iTunes (mine's not so big), and standard fair. This is all backed up via Time Machine to a 3TB Western Digital MyBook for the time being.
As for the Pegasus, I believe I've settled on: taking an R6-6tb unit, placing the 6th drive in my firesafe from the moment I get it. Configuring the remaining 5 drives in a level 5 setup. Leaves me 4TB to get started and buys me a few succesful quarters to plan on daisy chaining another unit when memory is needed. This way, I may not have maximum possible drive space, but I've got a replacement drive on the ready should I experience a drive-failure. Then, I'm not sitting on pins and needles while I await a replacement; they'll simply be shipping me a new "spare".
I still need to actually speak to someone @ Promise to make sure this will work, as I stated: I"m learning as I go here. If this is an acceptable Raid setup, you would have 8TB available to you.
Personally, I am far more comfortable running systems in series and building the size as I go (to a point) than putting so much data in a single array.
[Edit] The raid bay is mainly for the Lightroom catalog, and I use standard external drives to store redundant backups off-site (1TB at a time).
