Contract Management for CCM 1.0 items ? (Not in backend)

Hi guys,
I would like to enable Contract Management (Local & Global) in my SRM 4.0 sp8 environment. However, 90% of the catalog items in CCM (4,000 articles aprox) do not exist in the backend.
My very simple question is: Should I create all this 4000 items in the backend in order to enable contract management in SRM ?
Thanks for your valuable help guys !

Contract terminated for billing reasons flag did not remove

Hi
We have a critical problem.
We are using SAP ISU 4.72 version with CRM 4.0.
Sometimes when user is doing final bill reversal and moveout reversal from CRM, the flag "Contract terminated for billing reasons" (EVER-BILLFINIT) in SAP ISU is not removing automatically and this gives problem for further billing of the contract.
Can anyone suggest a solution for this problem that how to correct this problem or any notes to be applied to correct this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Satadal

Hi Olivia
I have already checked this note. It seems that this note is for manual billing problem which is not carried out here.
In our case if we are doing in SAP, the removal of flag is happening with reversal of final bill.
But sometimes when we are doing through CRM the reversal process, sometimes this flag is not deleting.
I am not very sure whether it is an ISU issue or this issue happens only from CRM.
Thanks for your help anyway

Activate "Open Item Management" for an Asset, line items posted previously

Dear Experts,
In Asset there are line items already posted but it is not "Open Item Management" only "Line Item Display" is activated. Now we want this as "Open Item Management". We are using ECC 6.0.
Please help... how to go about it?
- Nilesh

Dear John Sir,
Thanks a lot for the explanation which was really helpful.
As per last discussion : "If asset clearing account XXXXXX had not been maintained as open item management and posted with a balance. It canu2019t be changed directly using FSS0 in G/L master because of non-zero balance on account XXXXXX."
Please can you explain the detail steps involved for your suggested solution i.e; The step SA38 > RFSEPA02 should be used to achieve this purpose.
We are usin ECC 6.0. so do we need to convert program "RFSEPA02" to "ZRFSEPA02".? And what are the repucations involved if we execute this solution, as SAP itself don't recommend this program to execute.
Please help.

SRM -- MDM -- ECC integration for central contract management for SRM 7.0

Hi there,
I am questioned by a client with respect to the possibility of the following scenario -
1. There are several SAP back end systems in place.
2. SRM 7.0 will be implemented as single sourcing system.
3. The SAP back end systems carry different material master codes for the same material and this will remain the same and no cleaning effort to have a unique code across all systems is going to be done.
4. If we use MDM in the mix - will it be possible for the SRM system to act as a central contracting solution and create a central contract with the unique material code in MDM.
5. On distribution of this contract across to individual SAP back end system the back end should map the MDM code to correct material code in that respective system.
Any insights with respect to if this is possible with some enhancements or not at all possible will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Shantanu Joshi

Strange ATV2 behaviour - Movies can't be selected for downloaded & most menu items not selectable??

ATV2 fully online, previews movies, downloads YouTube, Homesharing all good (and a seasoned ATV owner and user)
However download movies is not working, and no error message just a "beep" sound when you select "rent movie".
Also many of the menu items cannot be selected. You cannot down select most of the items under General, so it's impossible to change settings, or to do any troubleshooting. You get the same "beep" sound when you select Name, Network, iTunes Store, Reset, etc.
I have done the usual power down, plus reset using remote, but the system doesn't seem to go back to factory default. I haven't tried the mini-USB connection to MAC as I don't have a cable but hoping someone can help?

Very puzzling that I have only seen the bad behavior on Win8.1, and not when debugging the extension. (Haven't been able to try the extension on Win8, but have tried it on several Win7 computers, and one WinServer 2012 R2 computer.)
Is there someplace to look for runtime exceptions? I haven't seen any in the Output window when the bad behavior occurs....
(If you want to try the extension, you can add a gallery and point it to www.cbates.net/VSIX/atom.xml.)

Itunes 9 had application management for my Iphone, i can not find it in itunes 10 and a lot of the writing such as check for updates does not show up, only the button is there

How do I manage applications for my iphone in Itunes 10 like I used to in Itunes 9? Also it appears that since the last update many of the words on itunes itself are missing, i see the button but no writing beside it how do i get it back?

Doublechecking before proceeding, tita. Are you seeing something a bit like this?
... or is something different going on?
Which Windows OS are you using? (XP, Vista, or 7?)

Activate "Open Item Management" for account, line items posted previously

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am having a problem when do a clearing for GL account due to "open item management" check box in Txn FS00 is not activated and only "Line Item Display" is activated. For your info, there are line items already posted and now we want this GL as an "Open Item Management". We are using ECC 6.0.
I did referred to a previous posting in this Forums Activate "Open Item Management" for an Asset, line items posted previously but i received these errors when following the solution. The errors are like below:
*Account 0039091200 is a reconciliation account in company code 5000
*Company code 5000 is not considered for the activation
What does it means by these errors? How do i rectify this error?
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Nazrul

Hi,
1. Executing report RFSEPA02 has a risk and also doubtful since it is not applicable in ECC 6.0 (New GL).
2. Create a New G/L with Open item management and transfer the balance to the newly created G/L.
Refer the earlier threads / replies else last option contact SAP (OSS).

Shridhar

Calendar items not appearing in weekly view

I have a number of account on my Z10 including work email. The work email items are not appearing in the weekly view, just on a daily or monthly view.
Any ideas?

Hello pohlipit,
Thank you for your question regarding items not appearing in your Work Calendar under the Week view on your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone.
Are you able to see these entries under other views within the Calendar? Do the entries display with a lock on them or not at all? Is this account set up on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server with BlackBerry Balance?
Thank you.

ToDo Items Not Appearing In Published iCal Calendar

We are a group of homeschool, high school students using iCal together. We each have MobileMe and use it to publish our calendars. Some published calendars show the users todo list, some don't. We have checked to make sure that todo items are published. We have followed all the suggestions found at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/2.0/en/wr20.html. But we can't get the todo items to appear. The problem can be duplicated repeatedly with the same users.

Why not construct an intermediate page after the
login page that has SESSION_UNSPECIFIED and
a refresh META tag. The page can then refresh
to either the login failed or login succeeded pages
depending on how the login went! Looks like...
1) Login page (SESSION_UNSPECIFIED)
2A) Refresh page (SESSION_UNSPECIFIED)
< HTML >
< HEAD >
< META http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;URL=<a href=
"http://www.blah.com/forte.cgi?PageName=3">http://www.blah.com/forte.cgi?PageName=3</a>" >
< /HEAD >
< BODY >
Login succeeded. Please wait...
< /BODY >
< /HTML >
2B) Refresh page (SESSION_UNSPECIFIED)
< HTML >
< BODY >
Login failed.
< /BODY >
< /HTML >
3) We're finally in. (SESSION_REQUIRED)
I'm not sure if this works on internet exploder.

Subject: (forte-users) Session management for page builder
Hi everybody,
We have a lot of legacy code making use of the page builder service to
produce web pages. These pages were originally written without session
management. I'm now busy adding session management to them, but there is
one problem with this approach and I will appreciate if someone can shed
some light on it. Here it is:
Page one is submitted.
Some validation (authentication) takes place and depending on the outcome,
either page 2A (SESSION_REQUIRED) or 2B (error page with
SESSION_UNSPECIFIED) must be displayed. In order to implement this, I
needed a place to make a decision. The way I've done it, is to pass a
'virtual page' (SESSION_UNSPECIFIED) to the page builder service. The
validation is done here and request.PageName is then replaced with the
PageName of pages 2A or 2B. The HandleRequest() method is then called
again. The problem is that the ValidateSession() method does not get
invoked again, thus allowing 2A through without a session. How do I make
sure that the ValidateSession() method get invoked again?
The approach making use of templates look to me as if it has all the means
to do this (redirect tag), but I don't want to rewrite everything if I
don't have to. Is there a way that a pagebuilder page can be specified by
the redirect tag? This will definitely help, but so far I've only managed
to call templates from the redirect tag.
Is the template approach better suited for session management? It is
definetely better documented...
Regards.
Jaco

ERP release for Central Contract Management with SRM 7.0 EhP 1

Hi all,
i would like to have clarification with ERP and SRM release combinations regarding SRM 7.0 EhP1.
Indeed, the "Software Component Matrix for SAP SRM 7.0 EHP1", for Operational Contract Management, tells 'EHP 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 required'.
Moreover, in RKT dealing with SRM EhP1 delta overview, ERP 6.0 with EhP5 is mandatory for an upgrade to SRM7.01.
Nevertheless, i would like to have confirmation regarding this point.
We do not want to use PI to execute the Enterprise Services for CCM. So, we intend to switch BF SRM_WSRM_1 on.
But on the ERP side (EhP5), the only BF dealing with Contract Management is LOG_MM_P2PSE_2 which description is about Service Procurement (and more exactly for item hierarchies).
Does it mean we can use SRM 7.01 with ERP 6.0 EhP4 and without PI but only if we do not use Central Contracts with service hierarchies ?
Thank you for your help.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hi Laurent,
Yes.
When Central contract was designed in SRM 7.0 with ERP EhP4, it was designed with no service hierarchy. But in SRM 7.01 Central contral was enhanced to handle service hierarchy and it works with ERP EhP5. The problem is when we have SRM 7.01 and ERP EhP4. To handle this complication SRM 7.01 was designed to send flat service lines to EhP4 and lower release even though Central contract in SRM has service hierarchy. So while transfering to ERP EhP4 system in standard, all outlines are not consider for transfer and only service lines (Functional items) are transferred to ERP. To do so user needs to maintain the backend destination information of the connected backend system in table BBP_BACKEND_DEST via SM30 transaction with correct system type (for EhP4 system it will be ERP_4.0 and for EhP5 ERP_5.0). SAP Standard program checks this while XML generation for transfer and if system type is ERP_4.0 system it removes all outlines from temp table before generating the XML data. When it is done, ERP has only service lines in its XML and it does the manupulation to create the replication of central contract.
Master Guide (Including Upgrade Information) - SAP SRM 7.01 states:
"The use of SAP NetWeaver PI is optional but it is required for outbound XML-based messaging or for connecting non-SAP planning or execution systems."
So service hierarchy is possible in SRM 7.01 and ECC 6.04 but only with PI. For other CCM functionalities, SRM 7.01 and ECC 6.04 without PI works fine.
Best regards,
Christian Zeuch

Using SRM for very large contracts and contract management

We are doing an SRM 7.01 implementation project. SRM will be used primarily for outsourced contract management. The contracts are all services associated with facilitites (plant) maintenance and also support services like cleaning or catering.
They have very large numbers of items priced individually (e.g. 10,000) per contract. The items price depends on the location the work is expected to be performed. The location is represented in SAP RE-FX architectual object. The price can be priced at any level of the hierarchy e.g. service A is priced the same across the whole state but service B is priced per campus.
q1. SAP advises that there are performance limitations on SRM contracts >2000 lines. Has anyone experience in a solution to provide very large contracts in SRM? How did you do it please?
q2. SAP advises to use the plant to represent the location for pricing purposes, but this would result in a very large number of plants. Has any one experience in alternative solutions to for variable location pricing in SRM contracts please? I.e. like integrating the RE-FX architectural object or similar into contract and PO line items.
thanks very much

Hi Prakash,
SRM does provide the facility of contract management with the help of Purchase Contracts and Global Outline Agreements but it is used as part of the sourcing for materials and services. The materials or services have contracts against some given target value against which PO is released. The contract is based on a material number ( eithe material or a service) which will be used as a source of supply during the creation of the Shopping Cart. It might not really fit in the scenario of carrier and freight forwarders but still can be customized for this kind of use.
The contract management functionalities in the R/3 space can also be looked on for this purpose.

Item cost not found for one or more items - Inventory Posting

Good Day Mentors,
My user has encountered an error during Inventory Posting and its "Item cost not found for one or more items".
The specific Message ID from SAP's System Message Log is 10001287.
I found a similar post which addresses this error here.
But unfortunately it did not help me solve my user's problem.
I already checked if the items had a defined "Item Cost" in the Item Master Data Inventory Tab, and they all have "Item Cost" defined.
I'm not sure if this will help, but below is the Inventory Audit Report of one of the items that is throwing the "Item cost not found" error.
I am not a business consultant neither am I literate in accounting, so thanks for the patience.
SAP Version: 9.0 PL5
Valuation Method: Moving Average
Thanks in advance!
Sean

Hi Augusto and Raviraj,
I've already verified in our production database the points you made:
- Is the "Manage Item cost per warehouse" selected in the Basic Initialization Screen?
YES
- Is the "Manage Inventory by Warehouse" ticked/checked in the "Inventory Data" tab of the "Item Master Data" screen?
YES
* I apologize for not have been able to give this information upfront.
Anyway, the database only has one warehouse at the moment.
I've checked the items, like the item in the screen shot above, and it does have an item cost.
Below is the screenshot of the sample item from my original post,
Thanks in advance!
