How to Create a Cross Reference of an item in an E-Business Suite

Hi ,
I need Help ,how to Create a cross reference of an item in an E-Business Suite
Regards
Srini

Hello Srini,
Prerequisite to create a cross reference for an item in eBusiness suite is that the item should be created in the master organization and assigned to your organization.
Navigate to screen Inventory > Items > Cross references. Enter a name for your cross reference.
Then, click on Assign : a screen is opened. In this screen, you can enter Item and Cross reference value. Note that a cross reference can be defined for an organization or common to all organizations.
Another kind of cross reference you can create is Customer item (it defines how a customer designates your item). It can be defined through screen
Inventory > Customer item > Customer Item and Customer item cross references.
Please refer to Inventory user guide for more detail about this functionalities.

Create material with reference using BAPI

Hi
I need to create material using refrence to another material for all material Views. Can I use BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA.
Which parameter I need to fill for reference materia
Moderator message: please do your own research before asking.

Hi Goutam,
You can use the BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA, which will create/update the material. You can pass the reference material in the filed BAPI_MARA-PL_REF_MAT. And you can pass reference material for all view like this.

Create material from reference material for all org.levels

Hi,
i want to create a material from a reference material with all MARA, MAKT, MARC, MBEW, MARD, MARM, MVKE, MLAN, MLGN and MLGT content for all organizational levels of the reference material.
For instance, my reference material has 200 MARC entries. All these entries should also be created for the new material.
Transaction MM01 will copy from reference but only for 1 organizational level. To create 200 plants manually with MM01 is not an option.
I have to develop a copy from reference transaction, where i select the new material number, the reference material number and the required tables (MARA, MAKT, etc)
I can read the current tablevalues and insert new entries into the required SAP standard tables, but that is not nice.
Is there another option to do the job ?
I know there are bapi's, but these are related to one org.level. For 200 plants, i have to execute 200 bapi to get the data from the reference material and another 200 bapi's to create the new material.
with kind regards,
Hans

Create Material with reference

Hi all. I have the next requeriment:
On a Z program, a user creates a relation between 2 material in 2 different plants, when the material on the 2nd plant doesn't exist must be created as a copy of the original material. For example:
Original MATNR --> MATERIAL01
Original WERKS --> IN55
Copy MATNR --> MATERIAL02
Copy WERKS --> IN25
In this case, the material MATERIAL02 doesn't exist in the IN25 Plant, so it must be created as a copy of the MATERIAL01.
This could be done manually on MM01 trx and adding the MATERIAL01 value as the reference material, but this needs to be done automatically, and the easiest way to do it is using BAPI.
Does anybody know a BAPI to do this??
Thanx.
Jesus

You can use the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. You will have to get all of the data for the reference material, then swap the material number, then call the BAPI.

Create material using reference material

Hi All,
I need to create a material using a reference material. I am using the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA and passing the reference material in the PL_REF_MAT field. But this is not working fine. I have searcged the forums as well but couldn't find any solution.
Another solution that I am thinking to implement is to use BAPI_MATERIAL_GETALL and get the details of the reference material and then pass those details to the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA. But as the structures for the two BAPI's are different I need to mapo each field one by one which is quite cumbersome as each view of the material has almost 100 or more fields.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Manish

Creating a "space" for insertables characters in cross references

Is it possible to create a cross reference that has a "space" where text can be inserted later? I am thinking of a reference like "see No. __ in Fig.42 on page 8-3" with __ being the space where the number from the image can be inserted. My idea for a cross reference would be like this:
see No. <$inputChar><$inputChar> in Fig. <$AbsNumExkl> on page <$chapnum>-<$SeiteNum>. The tag <$inputChar> being a space for an insertable character. Is such a thing possible in FrameMaker or is there even a default tag in FrameMaker for such a "space"? I haven't a clue what I should be looking for to find a solution, hence posting my question here.
Any help or ideas would be very mucha ppreciated!
Thanks

Hi Matt,
and thanks first of all for your reply. Indeed I am looking to "call up" a call reference in an image. I have a document where the images have call-outs IN the images (bitmaps). I have only just now started to use FrameMAker 11 and i just stumbled across the Hottspot feature (I am not sure when the Hotspot feature was included) and will delve into that sometime when I have the time.. (harhar), hoping I migt find a work around to meet my needs with that.
Anyhow - for now, my prob is that I wish to make a reference to a call-out number in an image.
The cross refernce is (e.g.) "see No. __, Fig. 42, Page 87".
The Xref I CAN refer to without problem naturally is "Fig. 42, Page 87", but as you can see, I had hoped to be able to "be lazy" and have FM automatically also put down "see No." for me but leaving some space, where it is possible to insert text, meaning to leave a blank of some sorts in the "code" of the cross reference. Theoretically the Xref would be interrupted where text could be inserted (in the example fill in the "__" in my example).
Does makle that a little clearer?
As I had to meet my deadline I did put down my very own individual "No. XYZ" each time before setting the cross reference but it is far from ideal.
On the whole, I find working with images with call-outs is tedious in FrameMaker.- I would absoloutely LOVE a feature where it would be possible to work on different layers.
I have a few ideas I would like to try out and fiddle around with to find a solution for my problem. Unfortunately I am not properly trained on FM itself, I have been through all other DTP tools starting with Quark and PageMaker, Indesign etc. I am HTML-savvy, dabbled with Javascript, php and some XML, but the structured Framemaker is still only an untouched yet intriguing concept.
If any more ideas come your way, or if you have any recommendations for my to may be find work arounds let me know!
Thanks
still slightly
puzzled but 4ever hoping

Creating Cross-References in an InDesign Tags file

I am tyring to create cross-refs to images in a tagged text file. Typically this will be used to create references like "See our display ad on Page n". I have studied the tags documentation and I can see how to create the cross-reference tag but I can't see how to link the tag to the appropriate image. If I create a test document, insert a couple of pictures, and add cross-references to those pictures, when I export the text to a tagged text file it refers to the pictures as, for example, "<HyperlinkDest:Anchor>" and "<HyperlinkDest:Anchor 2>". But I can't see how to specify exactly which image "<HyperlinkDest:Anchor>" refers to - there doesn't appear to be an "anchor" tag around the picture tp identify it.
So how does this work?
TIA
Pat

Hi Pat,
BEfore exporting the tagged text.
1. You have to create the Intereactive->New Hyperlink Destination [Figure 1.1].
2. Create a Intereactive->New Hyperlink [See Figure 1.1] in this select the dest as [Figure 1.1]
3. Then export as tagged text.

Cross Reference Source text options

Creating a Cross Reference linking to a Paragraph. In the paragraph where the cross-reference source is inserted, may the cross-reference link be applied to existing text in that paragraph so that the cross-reference destination text does not appear? Text anchors can be created to accomplish this, but that is an extra step (I can create a cross reference linking to a paragraph all in one dialog box). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi, Seir:
I agree that it's confusing. Here's how I do it:
To create a text anchor at the insertion point location:
* Open the Hyperlinks/Cross-References panel's menu (also called "flyout menu." It's the small icon at the upper-right of the panel, below the double-arrow (>>) icon that collapses the panel.
* Choose New Hyperlink Destination. THIS SHOULD BE NAMED NEW TEXT ANCHOR!!!
* Choose Type: Text Anchor
* Name the anchor as you like Click OK.
To create a cross-reference to a text anchor:
* Place the insertion point where you want it.
* Click the Create new Cross-Reference button on the bottom of the Hyperlinks/Cross-Reference panel.
* Choose Link To: Text Anchor
* Choose the target document
* Choose the text anchor
* Choose the Cross-Reference format
* Choose Appearance properties
* Click OK
I'm not sure what could cause the straight/curly quotes problem other than perhaps the font doesn't have curly quotes. Have you tried other fonts?

Cross-reference between structured and unstructured FM documents

Hello,
Is it possible to retain FM cross-references from structured to unstructured FM documents during an XML round trip?
From what I know, cross-references between or inside structured documents form pairs of ID and IDREF, while cross-references to unstructured documents are dumped as normal text and lose their functionality.
The unstructured target documents might be converted to Structured FM at some point, but for the time being I'd like to find another solution. Do you know any solution to this?
Thanks,
Johannes

Johannes,
This is just a guess, because I do not do this.
First, of course, you cannot export the unstructured file to XML, because it is unstructured.
Second, IF the cross-reference from the structured file to the unstructured file were done via your cross-reference ELEMENT, then the cross-reference element should export to XML as an XML element with one of its IDref attribute set to the ID of something in the unstructured file. When you open the XML file in FrameMaker, the cross-reference is re-established.
In other words, when exporting to XML, FrameMaker does not care to what you are referencing. It just converts the cross-reference element into an element with an attribute in the XML file. So, it should work as expected when opened in FrameMaker. Of course, I am assuming your read-write file is set up to handle cross-references.
On the other hand, IF you are creating your cross-reference from the structured file by simply inserting a cross-reference, that is NOT as an element, then I do not know what happens. If it is being exported as text, then I am not sure FrameMaker will know what to do with it when you reopen the XML file.
Hope this helps,
Van

Cross-Reference to Multi-Level Paragraph

Hi,
Is it possible to create a cross-reference that does something like this:
'1.B.(1)(a)2) on page XXX' from the following:
I have created a cross-reference format as follows:
<$paranum[1. Heading]><$paranum[A. Text/Heading]><$paranum[(1) Text/Heading]><$paranum[(a) Text/Heading]><$paranum[1) Text/Heading]><$paranum[a) Text/Heading]> on page\ <$pagenum>
This works if I cross-reference from 'text10' to 'text9', which returns - '1.B.(2)(b)2)a) on page 6001',
and 'text10' to 'text2' returns '1.B. on page 6001'.
It fails when I go from 'text10' to 'text13' giving '1.C.(4)(b)2)b) on page 6001' instead of just '1.C. on page 6001'.
Any help on what I'm doing wrong?

In support of Niels' response, I'd written almost the same thing, but 1.__AG__, entered a more objective response (well put, AG!) before I sent my impressions.
I agree with Niels that
The reader might appreciate a more direct numbering system (the milspec standard of 1.2.2.2.2.1 would be the equivalent section to your 1B2b2a example
The tags used would be easier to navigate if they used a 1List 2List 3List convention, and that the punctuation used in numbering is a bit confounding at first glance
The xref format is straightforward if all levels are displayed at that point
Sadly, and as always, we can help with everything but the politics of your situation!
I do like Niels' suggestion of using the Running H/F to display the current section, if you're forced to use the numbering scheme as-is!
Best of luck navigating this with the powers that be.

Cross Reference an Object??

How do I cross reference an object using Indesign CS4?
I've got a PDF that I've dropped into a frame, which I applied an Object Style. Now I need to create a cross references in the document, that point to the PDF (a chart). I've got to do this with several PDF's.
When I go to create a cross reference, I can only apply it a Paragraph Style or a Text Anchor, I don't get an Object Style to choose from.
I could put some text in behind the chart, and arrage the chart to the front, but i'd rather create a cross reference to the Object itself.
What do i do?

Cross-references only point to text - either a text anchor or a paragraph - not to objects.
If your placed PDF is in an anchored frame, you can point the cross-reference to the paragraph in which the frame is anchored.
If your placed PDF is not in an anchored frame, you can do what you suggest above, or you have these other options:
* place the PDF into a text frame
* create a text frame and group it with the PDF; point the cross-reference to the paragraph in the text frame, or insert a text anchor in the text and point the cross-reference to it.
* you can paste the grouped PDF and text frame object into a text frame to make it an anchored frame.
The idea of a cross-reference is usually to point to a caption or heading. You can't point to the text in a placed PDF because it's really a graphic. You'll probably want a caption to identify the chart. The caption is the text you cross-reference to. The caption can be in the paragraph that holds the anchor, in a text frame grouped with the graphic, in a paragraph above or below the graphic, or in an anchored frame that's positioned near the graphic.
If your layout will not reflow, you probably don't need an anchored frame, but if the layout will reflow, you'll want to use the ability of an anchored to move with the text.
Read about cross-references and anchored frames in Help. If your caption will be numbered, such as "Figure 3," also read about numbered lists and numbering properties of paragraph styles.

How do I cross reference to text (as in a reference citation)

I am using Frame 7.0. I want to create a cross reference to text (not a heading). For example, I have a citation such as (Smith, 1980) and I want to link that to the following:
H. Smith, 1980 "Have a good day" Martin Press, pgs. 46
I only want Smith, 1980 to appear as the link, not the entire description.
Thanks.

Another option is storing the custom text version in a paragraph autonumber that is entirely hidden, and use a cross-reference format that retrieves that autonumber only. The custom "autonumber" will be paragraph override (or otherwise you will have to define a unique paragraph tag for each source citation).

Cross-Reference using Text Anchor problems

I am having problems with creating "New Cross-Reference" using a "Text Anchor" in CS4 Indesign.
I can mimic what I want using a "Link to Paragraph", selecting the paragraph style and link, and then using the "Partial paragraph and Page Number" options.
I would prefer doing this using a Text Anchor.
I've tried creating a text hyperlink, but in whatever I am doing, I never get any "Text Anchor" OPTIONS in the New Cross-Reference menu.
Adobe should also change the Text Anchor menu item, since there are "Text Anchor" options in InDesign that appear to have nothing to do with Cross-Referencing.
The other problem I am having is that in defining the open-quote and closed-quotes around the Paragraph Text variable, I wish to have typesetter's quotes instead of the default vertical quotes. If I use the Splat button to choose ^{^} options, then I get funky "G"'s in my reference instead of typesetters quotes -- even if I choose a "Character Sytle for Cross Reference" and force it to my current font choice. What's going on here?

Hi,
When i create the word template, the bookmaks and the cross-reference referred to the bookmark update correctely. The problem is when I try to change the bookmark using "report generation from template vi" the bookmark change but not the cross-reference and the error generated is "Error! Reference source not found".
I make coople reasherch and i think they have no solution for this because : "if the text in a heading referred to in a cross-reference is revised, the cross-reference to the heading may no longer work" (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/troubleshoot-cross-references-HP005189368.aspx).
To "resolved" this problem I create an other bookmark in the template who have the same value white the principle bookmark.
I use Labview 2011 and Micosoft office 2010.
