Copying of Attributes for Materials

Hi SAP Gurus!
Is there a facility in the material master wherein you have a hierarchy of materials that whenever you change the high level material, these changes will affect the low level items?
Hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks in advance.
Juan

Hi you can try this solution
Purchasing> purchase Order> Define Screen layout at Document Level
Copy NBF as ZNBF > Details >Under Administrative data, item Make Info Update as Display
Copy NBF as ZNBS> Details >Under Administrative data, item Make Info Update unchecked
     Purchase Order> define Document Type> Create a Separate Doc Type ZSER for Service PO. Suppose ZNB is u r PO doc type of all other purchase
     Assign field selection ZNBF with ZNB. Delete Item Category D from Allowed item category of ZNBF for finer control
     For ZSER (Service Doc type keep only D as allowed item Category. Assign field selection ZNBS with it.
So You will be able to create all other purchasing except Service by using ZNB doc type and PO price will be updated from previous PO by means of Info Update option. For ZSER doc type you will be able to create only service PO and it will not take the reference of previous PO
For making PR mandatory for service PO there is no standard option. If ypu have some specific user for making Service PO then you can follow the following route:
TCODE OMET> Create function auth 15 , Check Ref to PR
SU3>PARAMETER> Maintain Parameter ID EFB & Parameter value 15

Copy Paste Attributes

First off - I will admit I am a FCP editor who is figuring out Motion in fits and starts. Basically what I am building is a bullet point graphic of 5 list items where it starts with all 5 visible, fully opaque, and after a couple seconds, 4 lines dim to 10 percent opacity and the 5th line grows larger and moves to the center. I built the first version of this, keyframing all the opacity and move/grows. I then save the project and rename it "2nd line move." What I want to do is be able to copy the attributes from the one line that grows and moves ("1st line move") to the new, renamed project. In FCP I use copy/paste attributes for situations like this. I can't seem to figure out how to do it in Motion, without pretty much creating new keyframes on each version of the same graphic.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Steve

hi,
a simple way is to click on the object you have animated, and then simply to click and hold on the position parameter name in the inspector and drag it to the object you want to copy the animation too.
You can do this for the scale parameter as well.

Using Static Variable against Context Attribute for Holding IWDView

Dear Friends,
I have a method which is in another DC which has a parameter of the type IWDView. In my view, I will have an action which will call the method in another component by passing the value for the view parameter. Here, I can achieve this in 2 types. One is - I declare a static variable and assign the wdDoModifyView's view as parameter value and I can pass this variable as parameter whenever calling that method or the second way - create an attribute and assign the same wdDoModifyView's view parameter as its value. Whenever I call this method, I can pass this attribute as parameter. What is the difference between these two types of holding the value since I am storing the same value i.e., wdDoModifyView's view parameter. But when I trigger the action from different user sessions, the first type of code (using static variable) prints the same value in both the sessions for view.hashCode() and View.toString(), but the same is printing the different values when I pass the attribute which holds the view parameter.
Clarification on this is highly appreciated
The problem I face is when I use static variable to get the view instance and export the data using the UI element's id, the data belonging to different user sessions is mixed up where as when I use Context Attribute, the same problem doesn't arise. I want to know the reason why it is so. Is there any other place or way where I can get the current view instance of each session instead of wdDoModifyView?

Hi Sujai ,
As you have specified the problem that we face when we use static attributes, when end users are using the application .
Static means i have n number of objects but the static variable value will remain same every where.
when it is context attribute for every object i.e nth object you have a nth context attribute i mean nth copy of the context attribute.
so every user has a unique Iview parameter , when context is used and
when static is used , assume you have userA , his iview is set this intially and u have another user B , when he is using , since the variable is static and when you access this variable you will get the value of userA.

Error - The attributes for user could not be determined

When I login as a Buyer (with role ZTSX_EC_BBP_PURCHASER - copy of SAP_EC_BBP_PURCHASER), I get the foll. error while trying to Process Purchase Orders:
The attributes for user could not be determined
It does not happen on other transactions (like Sourcing or Issue POs).
The buyer is in the org. plan and I have checked the attributes and they seem ok.
What could be the issue ???

Copy new attributes in new releases

Could you please provide detailed steps using WCF_CC or manual process of new attributes in CRM 7.0 EhP1?
I'm working on message in UI Configuration check in WCF_CC which states,
"Context node Attribute does not exist: STRUCT.ZZFIELD in Object type BP_ACCOUNT, Subobject Type ZZI5EEWCONTACT Role Config key <DEFAULT>, Component Usage <DEFAULT>"
Selecting the edit button directed to UI Config Tool where I could see the missing attibute in the custom configuration which saved newly in a customizing request.
Recheck on the UI Configuration for the view resulted with a new error which is,

Imported XSLT cannot create attributes for generated XML element

I have two xslts. One imports the other.
The imported xslt creates XML elements with attributes and this XML is stored in a variable in the main stylesheet
If I perform the transformation with JRE prior to 1.6.0.18 then all works fine
If I use 1.6.0.18 or 1.6.0.19 then the attributes aren't added.
If I add attributes in the main xslt it works fine or if I output the element directly instead of first storing it in a variable then it also works fine.
Problem seems to be when you try to add attributes from an imported stylesheet and store the generated element in a variable.
Below two stylesheets to illustrate :
First MainStylesheet.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"
extension-element-prefixes="exsl"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes" />
<xsl:import href="innerstylesheet.xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="/TestData">
<xsl:variable name="generatedElementXml">
<xsl:call-template name="generateElement">
<xsl:with-param name="s">testValue</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="exsl:node-set($generatedElementXml)">
*** GeneratedElementXML {<xsl:text>
</xsl:text><xsl:copy-of select="*"></xsl:copy-of>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>Next innerstylesheet.xsl

        <xsl:template name="generateElement">
                   <xsl:param name="s"/>
                <TestElement testAttribute="$s" />
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>The result output by jres before 1.6.0.18 is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
               *** GeneratedElementXML {
          <TestElement xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" testAttribute="testValue"/>
               }          The result output by jres since 1.6.0.18 is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
               *** GeneratedElementXML {
          <TestElement xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
               }          Note : the 'testAttribute' attribute is missing

Have found the difference in the code
In both JRE1.6.0_17 & JRE1.6.0_18, the class 'com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.dom.AdaptiveResultTreeImpl' has the following method
public void addUniqueAttribute(String qName, String value, int flags)
        throws SAXException
        addAttribute(qName, value);
    }In JRE1.6.0_17 the next method is
public void addAttribute(String name, String value)
     if (_openElementName != null) {
         _attributes.add(name, value);
     else {
         BasisLibrary.runTimeError(BasisLibrary.STRAY_ATTRIBUTE_ERR, name);
    }In JRE1.6.0_18 the next method is
public void addAttribute(String uri, String localName, String qname,
            String type, String value)
     if (_openElementName != null) {
         _attributes.addAttribute(uri, localName, qname, type, value);
     else {
         BasisLibrary.runTimeError(BasisLibrary.STRAY_ATTRIBUTE_ERR, qname);
    }Note - the addAttribute method has additional parameters in JRE1.6.0_18 but the call from addUniqueAttribute wasn't updated.
So in JRE1.6.0_18 addUniqueAttribute actually invokes the following method in the base package com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serializer.EmptySerializer
public void addAttribute(String name, String value)
        aMethodIsCalled();
void aMethodIsCalled()
        // throw new RuntimeException(err);
        return;
    }and as you can see this does nothing. Hence the fact that the attribute isn't added.

SAP CRM MObility Activity Survey to create Marketing Attributes for a BP

ATtrHi Gurus ,
I have to create an Activity from IPAD ( CRM Mobility ) which will create a survey response,and the survey responses have to be captured and then create Marketing Attributes for the BP related to the Activity. I am not able to use the Callback Function given to IPAD Application.
So my Approach so far has been :
implement a badi that gets trigerred at Survey Response submission.
in that call function module crm_svy_activity_pai.(Made a Z-copy of this to enforce COMMIT WORK )
I am not able to pass the parameter lr_values for FM: CRM_SVY_ACTIVITY_PAI
These are the 2 links that has been useful so far . Kindly add to this if possible.

Hi Jacques,
Once you click on Marketing in Web UI you will find "Marketing Attribute" in the Work Area.Click on that.
You need to give ID No. and Attribute Set name.
You need to mark Persons and Organisation checked also.
Below that you will find 2 blocks " Attributes" and "Value"
Under Attribute gve your Attributes Names you want to define ( e.g. Age,Salary or any client defined..) then select the Format ( Numeric or Chracter etc...)
Once you have filled in all the Attributes you click on one attribute and below you need to fill the Values ( e.g 20-30 yrs etc...) . If you want to make that value a default one you can select default check box against each value.
That way for each attributes you can define values. Hope this would help you.
Regards...

Master data maintenance and attributes for GTIN/EAN

A review of the SAP documentation indicates that "You can use the consistency report to change the attributes (for example, quantity, length, height, and so on) of certain materials". The "and so on" seems to imply that the attributes can be user defined. If this correct, where is this data kept? Or do the attributes only include the fields from the Basic data 1 Dimensions/EAN data and Plant Data storage General data?
I would expect we can use LSWM to mass update the GTIN for our existing material numbers. However, for new material master creation is there a function module that would be able to pull the next available GTIN number from the internal number range? Please note that we use LSWM to create all our material numbers. We would like to have the LSWM insert the next available GTIN number.
Thank you for your response
Brian

Hi
I had tried all sorts - attribute change run and manually activating the master data. Still doesnt work.

Material number are same but attribute of materials are different.

What if we have two system connected with APO with similar material numbers but in fact different material in description.
I mean, numbers are same but attribute of materials are different.
How to address it in APO.....?
Regards

HI,
An SCM system (APO) can be integrated with multiple ECC systems (logical
systems). It may therefore be the case that the number assignment for certain
master data objects, for example, material masters, is not the same in all these
logical systems. In the example above, material number A in logical systems 1
and 2 signifies the same cube, whereas the same material number in logical system
3 (perhaps a subsequently purchased plant) is a cylinder.
If logical systems 1, 2 and 3 are planned with the same SCM System, the problem
arises that the system cannot simply transfer the ECC material numbers into APO,
as they may be ambiguous.
To guarantee that the naming of master data in distributed system landscapes is
unique, business system groups are defined in APO as areas of the same naming
convention. A Business System Group (BSG) groups different physical systems to
form a higher-level logical unit.
If, for example, two logical systems (LS1 and LS3) exist in a system landscape in
which you want to integrate APO and contain different materials with the same
name (Material A is a cube in LS1, but a cylinder in LS2), this conflict must
be resolved for integration in APO. First of all, both logical systems are to be
assigned to different business system groups (BSG1 and BSG2).
check and revert back , Hope it will help you.
Regards
Ritesh

RECIPIENT DESCRIPTION IN BDF and SEND COPY TO ATTRIBUTE ON FIELD

I have a field that is 20 bytes long has the "send copy to " attribute selected.
My BDF has a recipient INS and the description is "INSURED COPY" Data prints in field as "INSURED.COPY........" (where periods are spaces) I actually want the information to print as "....INSURED.COPY...." so that it displays centered in the field. I used to be able to put spaces before the recipient's description in 11.3 by using the <RECIP_NAMES> and added the required spaces before the actual description. Doing this I could force the information to be centered for each recipient, even though one recipient might be "AGENT COPY" and another might be "HOMEOFFICE COPY", I could force the information to be centered by adding extra spaces in the description.
Now, in release 12.2, I can not add spaces before the recipient description in the BDF. Every time I add spaces prior to the description Documaker strips them out. Is there some other way to center the recipient description in the field? Can I add the JUSTFLD rule to a field that has "send copy to" attribute selected?
I was able to do the alt+0160 to force a description field to be spaces but I don't think I can add more than one alt+0160 to the description.
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Just to confirm have gone through here Menu > Messaging > "gmail or yahoo wwhatever it is" > options > E-mail settings > User settings > Send copy to self

Urgent: Entity Attribute for this View Attribute cannot be in 'irc'

Hi ,
I am trying to extend AplAssgHistoryVO.xml to one extra field 'Chnaged By' as per our critical ptoduction requirement.
I have downloaded the following TOPs under $JAVA_TOP

I have copied these TOPs to my 'D:\p6908968_R12_GENERIC\jdevhome\jdev\myprojects' directory.
Now when I have cerated one .JWS file and one .jpr under that.
Now when I tried to expand oracle.apps.irc.applicant.server it is giving the following error:

Please could someone tell me why this error is coming. Whether I have to download any other patch/library/TOPs for this.
Thsnka in advance for your help.
Thanks and regards,

Snow Leopard (10.6+) - could not copy extended attributes to *

I have a NAS device running Samba version 3.0.26a.
Many files I download with Safari, view with iPhoto, or use in many other OS X applications, get extended attributes added to them.
These extended attributes "cannot" be copied to my network devices using the Finder copy dialog. Finder will copy the file, report it failed to copy extended attribs, then delete the file!
However, the cp and rsync commands work, but cp complains about the extended attributes. But at least it actually copies, and leaves the file on my network appliance!
Here is a summary of the log:
mbp-stnt-09-01:Desktop josh_miller$ cp LexmarkX940eX.dmg /Volumes/projects/_Software/
cp: LexmarkX940eX.dmg: could not copy extended attributes to /Volumes/projects/Software/Lexmark_X940eX.dmg: Operation not permitted
Here is an example of an Extended attrib on that file:
mbp-stnt-09-01:Desktop josh_miller$ xattr LexmarkX940eX.dmg
com.apple.diskimages.recentcksum
All other OS X versions back as far as I can see, work fine. This is a new issue with Snow Leopard and I'd very much like it corrected!

If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over posting here or submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Adding new Condition Rule attribute for "ICRULE-Intent Driven Interaction"

Hi Experts,
I want to add a Z attribute for context "ICRULE- Intent Driven Interaction".
Under SPRO path Customer Relationship Management->E-Mail Response Management System->Define Repository
I define new Condition Attribute Z_BP_NUMBER with is the copy of BP_NUMBER Attribute.
1. if i define a Rule to trigger the Alert with Condition Attribute BP_NUMBER is XYZ. then Alert gets Triggered.
2. if i define a Rule to trigger the Alert with Condition Attribute Z_BP_NUMBER is XYZ. then Alert is not Triggered.
After defining Condition Attribute Z_BP_NUMBER at Define Repository (spro) do i need to include at any other placel?
Please help me with your valuable input.
Thanks and Regards,
Vimal

Hello Vimal,
Yes, you also need to create your own data collector class and fact gathering service to use your new attribute! If you have a subscription to CRM Expert, you can read this detailed article that I co-wrote on using your own custom attributes: http://www.crmexpertonline.com/article.cfm?id=5475.

Copy text attributes using shortcut in ID CS 4!

Hi!
I want to copy text attributes using shortcut keys. Is it possible? It is possible in MX Freehand.
Here, I want to copy attribute (Magenta colour) and apply to another word (Magenta colour).
Thanks.

You use the Eyedropper too for this. The shortcut is i, unmodified, so you can’t call it while editing text. But you can click on the tool. You then click once to load the eyedropper with the desired formatting, then click wherever you want it applied. Click and Drag, like selecting text, to apply formatting to a word or words. I have not tried editing the shortcut so it can be called while editing text, but you can try. Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, and go to Tool under Product Area.

Escape attributes for hidden tags

Hi all,
We have a migrated app that created escape attributes for some hidden tags.
ie.
<jato:hidden name="stBeginningCommission" fireDisplayEvents="true"
escape="true" /> <br>
Looking at the jato.tld and the code for HiddenTag.java, the escape
attribute isn't one that get used for hiddens.
We did a quick clean up and removed the attribute from the JSP but I though
I might be worth a mention for future releases.
It's interesting is tomcat 3.2.1 allows this and 3.2.3 does not.
