Creating HR objects via IDoc HRMD_A05

Hi to all
I want to create HR objects via IDoc HRMD_A05 and want the objects numbered using INTERNAL number range.
The IDoc documentation says to pass an exclamation mark '!' to OBJID to make the system generate new number. However, the field is numeric and can not contain '!'.
Has anybody tried this way before and achieved to create objects numbered internally?
Thanks

Hi
I have told the issue to the SAP OSS and their feedback was:
"As explained in note 741165:
'There is no provision to carry out an internal number assignment using
ALE in the target system. Therefore, the numbers must be assigned when
the IDOCs are created in the source system.'
The documentation in the Interface Repository is wrong.

Creating PCD object via API

Is is possible to programmatically create PCD objects such as iViews/Pages etc.?

Hi,
The way to create PCD objects such as iViews and pages is documented in the following link in the help portal (Portal --> Developer Guide --> Developing Applications --> Creating Content --> Managing iViews and Other PCD Objects:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fd/ea5c42da4de92ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Here's an overview for creating an iView from a PAR and adding it to the folder at pcd:portal_content/myFolder :
IiViews iViewSrv = (IiViews)
    PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IiViews.KEY);
INewObjectDescriptor IVtoCreate = (INewObjectDescriptor)
    iViewSrv.instantiateDescriptor(CreateMethod.NEW,
        "par:/applications/myProject/components/myComponent",
            request.getUser());
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,

InitialContext iCtx = null;
try
    iCtx = new InitialContext(env);
    String folderName = "pcd:portal_content/myFolder";
    Context ctx = (Context)iCtx.lookup(folderName);
    ctx.bind("myNewHelloIV", IVtoCreate);

Create vendor invoice via IDOC INVOIC

Hello,
We are using IDOC with message type INVOIC for creation of vendor incoming invoices in Logistic Invoice Verification. Can You answer me, is it possible to save (park) correct documents (without price/quantity differences), which later could be posted manually?
Thank You in advance!
Natalija

Hi Natalija,
ok this need is covered.
You can post the SD document and park the FI document (park).
Therefore you have to customize the billing-type.
Under: SPRO-> Sales and Dist. -> Billing Documents -> Define Billing Documents.
==> you will found on top the checkbox "Posting Block".
To release them you can use VFX3.
I hope it helps.

How can create the object ? Via class.forName

Hi,
i want to create the object via class.forname?........
i have tryed like this Class obj=Class.forName("sample.Employee");
but it gives error like this......
java.lang.InstantiationException: sample.Employee
 at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:291)
 at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:259)
 at sample.ArrayListTest.main(ArrayListTest.java:22)

The line
Class obj=Class.forName("sample.Employee");does NOT create a new object of class
sample.Employee. It only loads the class and creates
the Class object. You have to call newInstance() to
create a new instance of the class:
Object obj =
Class.forName("sample.Employee").newInstance();I guess you already did something like that, because
forName() itself doesn't throw an
InstantiationException.
For this to work, class sample.Employee must be in
the classpath and it must have a public constructor
that takes no arguments.this is my full code it dosn't work i don,t know
public class ArrayListTest {
public ArrayListTest() { }
public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList employees = new ArrayList();
// create some employees
/* Employee employee_1 = new Employee("John", 2000);
Employee employee_2 = new Employee("Carl", 3000);
Employee employee_3 = new Employee("Ron", 4000);*/
/*instead of this Employee employee_1 i want to create the new obeject by using*/
try{
Object obj = Class.forName("sample.Employee").newInstance();
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
// add them to your list
//employees.add(employee_1);
//employees.add(employee_2);
//employees.add(employee_3);
// display only the names your list
for(int j = 0; j < employees.size(); j++) {
Employee temp = (Employee)employees.get(j);
System.out.println("nr. "+(j+1)+": "+temp.getName()+"\nnr. "+(j+1)+": "+temp.getSalary());
// invoke the toString()-method from Employee
for(int j = 0; j < employees.size(); j++) {
Employee temp = (Employee)employees.get(j);
System.out.println(temp.toString());
} // class ArrayListTest
again the same error occur................

Hi NGM
Could that be related to the user privileges? Please control with another account that can make create/alter table ?
What are the privileges of your user?
It works fine for me on the release : Oracle IDE 1.5.1.54.40.

drangineni, assuming you know the service requestid or externalId of the
Sr you are dealin gwith you would first set that value.
ServiceRequest1[] objSRList =new ServiceRequest1[1];
objSRList[0] = new ServiceRequest1();
objSRList[0].ServiceRequestId = <YourSRId>;
Then you create an array of activities and initialize the first one:
objSRList[0].ListOfActivity = new Activity[1];
objSRList[0].ListOfActivity[0] = new Activity();
Now set the data fields
objSRList[0].ListOfActivity[0].Subject ="My Subject";
objSRList[0].ListOfActivity[0].Description ="My Description";
objSRList[0].ListOfActivity[0].Display = "Task"; //valid values are either
"Task" or "Appointment"
Then call the ServiceREquestInsertOrUpdate method on the ServiceRequest
WebService and pass in the above variable.

Ah yes, I forgot you also need to specify a unquie Id for the activity.
It's kinda strange.
Try adding this:
ServiceRequest[0].ListOfActivity[ActivityLength].ActivityId = "DummyId";
//OD will overwrite this with a real Id
Or if you have a unquie ID for your Activities you can use:
ServiceRequest[0].ListOfActivity[ActivityLength].ExternalSystemId = <Your
Unique Value>;
Hope that helps,

Hi all,
I have a similar problem, but mine is returning a message that field
"Display" is required. Looking at this post and the documentation it is
obvious that Display is a required field, but my WSDL did not include a
field called "Display", so my proxy did not generate one.
I tried adding a field called Display to the WSDL and the proxy class, but
I get a different error... I figure I maybe cannot add it manually like
that - but I think the bigger problem is it is not part of the WSDL that
Siebel OD generates for me in my admin account.
On top of that Display is not shown in the list of fields for Activity
through the admin interface.. is it possible my account is bugged? Am I
missing something simple here? BigSlick, I see you mention a .Display in
your code sample so I thought you might understand what is wrong. Here is
my code (I am trying to add a activity to a lead).
Thanks for any insight into this!
private void InsertLeadActivity(Session session, NameValueCollection data,
string leadID)
try
if (blnDebug)
Response.Write("Setting up Activity ";
// instantiate the proxy service
Activity_Service.Activity activityProxy = new Activity_Service.Activity();
// set up the target URL
activityProxy.Url = session.GetURL();
activityProxy.CookieContainer = session.GetCookieContainer();
// set up input argument
ActivityNWS_Activity_Insert_Input input = new
ActivityNWS_Activity_Insert_Input();
input.ListOfActivity = new Activity1[1];
input.ListOfActivity[0] = new Activity1();
if (blnDebug)
Response.Write("Getting Data ";
// dg note: name value
// input.ListOfActivity[0].MrMrs = data["MrMrs"];
input.ListOfActivity[0].LeadId = leadID.ToString();
input.ListOfActivity[0].Description = DataToString(data);
input.ListOfActivity[0].Subject = "Website Submission Activity";
input.ListOfActivity[0].Priority = "3-Low";
//input.ListOfActivity[0].DueDate =
DateTime.Now.AddDays(7).ToShortDateString();
input.ListOfActivity[0].Owner = this.defaultLeadOwner;
input.ListOfActivity[0].Type = "Call";
//input.ListOfActivity[0].Display = "Task";
input.ListOfActivity[0].ActivityId = "DummyId";
input.ListOfActivity[0].ExternalSystemId = "web";
activityProxy.Activity_Insert(input);
catch (Exception exInsertActivity1)
if (blnDebug)
Response.Write(" Error inserting activity. " +
exInsertActivity1.ToString() + " ";

Figured it out.. the field "Display" is also known as "Activity"........
Here are some notes for other people.. good luck and feel free to write me
at raskawa-at-gmail-com if you want a code sample.
Some unpublished nice to knows for Siebel On Demand Activities....
In summary:
- .Activity is also known as Display in documentation and on the error
messages coming back from the WS. Also, it appears based on these boards
some people actually have a .Display field. Maybe different accounts
generate different WSDL's.... buggy.
- If a error message is thrown saying "Description is required" it really
means "Subject is required" (make sure .Subject has a value)
- If a error message is thrown complaining that ActionType is not right..
that is really .Type.. make sure it's lookup value is valid for the
dropdown values in your CRM OD system.
My code/values that worked..
input.ListOfActivity[0].LeadId = leadID.ToString();
input.ListOfActivity[0].Description = DataToString(data);
input.ListOfActivity[0].Subject = "Website Submission Activity";
input.ListOfActivity[0].Priority = "3-Low";
//input.ListOfActivity[0].DueDate =
DateTime.Now.AddDays(7).ToShortDateString();
input.ListOfActivity[0].Owner = this.defaultLeadOwner;
input.ListOfActivity[0].Type = "Call";
input.ListOfActivity[0].ActivityId = "DummyId";
input.ListOfActivity[0].ExternalSystemId = "web";
//input.ListOfActivity[0].Display = "Task"; //doesn't work
input.ListOfActivity[0].Activity = "Task"; //does work.

Hi,
This is surgientweb (under my own login now..)
Anyway, I wanted to add that I figured out that there are two ways to add
a Activity to a Lead. Via the Lead object (by getting a ListOfActivities)
OR by creating a Activity directly and just adding your "LeadID" to it (or
you can also add a "ContactID" to relate the activity to a Contact.)
Feel free to email me for a code example (raskawa....at....gmail)

Hi Stephane,
You can definitely read the categories using Tables in CRM. The logic is a bit complicated though.
Use the following steps to retrieve Categories using Std. CRM Tables:
1. Pass transaction GUID in field GUID of table CRMV_REPORT_SUBJ and get KATALOGART, CODEGRUPPE and CODE field values in lv_catalog, lv_codegrp and lv_code.
2. Now you need to concatenate these 3 fields values carefully like this:
CONCATENATE lv_catelog lv_codegrp ' ' lv_code into lv_category1.
Remember there are 4 spaces between lv_codegrp and lv_code.
3. Now pass this lv_category1 in field OBJEXT in table CRMC_ERMS_CAT_OK and get OBJGUID in field lv_objguid.
4. Pass this lv_objguid in field OBJ_GUID and LNK_TYPE = 'IS_CODE' in table CRMC_ERMS_CAT_LN and get value of CAT_GUID in lv_cat_guid.
5. Pass this lv_cat_guid in field CAT_GUID in table CRMC_ERMS_CAT_CA and get value of CAT_ID in field lv_cat_text.
Remember this lv_cat_text is the text value of your last level of category of transaction.
6. To get its upper cateogry level value, simply use table CRMC_ERMS_CAT_HI and get parent guid value and pass this as CAT_GUID again in table CRMC_ERMS_CAT_CA to get its text.
Alternatively, you can also use class method cl_crm_ml_category_util=>get_parse_all to get all levels of categories.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Creation of sales order via IDoc ORDERS05 - specify a reason of rejectio

Hi,
I want to create a sales order via IDoc (type:ORDERS05), i specify for an E1EDP01 segment a reason of rejection (ABGRU),
The sales order is created succefully by calling the FM IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS but the order quantity of the item where i have specified a reason of rejection is equals to 0.
Is this normal? i want that this will take 3 value either 0?
Could anyone help me?
Thx

Hi,
Thank you for ur answer.
I've followed the procedure that you have explained and the Quantity 3 have been succefully passed to VA01 but is set to zero when i execute the next OK-CODE (=UER2, i think it is llike Enter button ). I simulate the same procedure by creating a sales order on VA01 and i've finally found the problem : at item level, if i enter the Material (MATNR), the order Quantity (KWMENG) and the Reason of rejection (ABGRU), the quantity is set to zero after clicking the enter button ; but if i enter only The material and The quantity followed by enter button, and enter after the Reason of rejection, it works fine, the Quantity doesn't change.
What is the solution that you propose to me?
I've try this one on debugger mode:
The FM which interpret the Idoc create the sales order by CALLING TRANSACTION 'VA01' USING bdcdata....
I've modified the bdcdata to implement the sequence of the steps before (MATNR + QTY <ENTER> ABGRU <ENTER>).
1. Is it possible to code this modification?
2. Is there a way to structure the Idoc for having this sequence in bdcdata?
Thanks in advance!

Transfer of data from APO to ERP via IDOC

Hi,
I know we can transfer the of transactional data(Planned orders) from APO to R/3 is done via CIF.
Suppose if I need to transfer the same via IDOC instead of CIF how can I do it?
Let me know the steps to follow and way to find out how the data got transferred by IDOC?
For e.g. When I have transfer a planned order from APO to ERP, the data should be populated in the IDOC LOIPRO01 on the ERP side.
Cheers,
Simha.

Hi,
For a thouht If you want to use that IDOC data to be transfer to an other system from R/3 then let the data flow through CIF and in INBOUND exit wright code to create IDOC.
But Iam not sure whether it works.
Please eloborate requirement.

Best practice "changing several related objects via BDT" (Business Data Toolset) / Mehrere verbundene Objekte per BDT ändern

Hallo,
I want to start a
discussion, to find a best practice method to change several related master
data objects via BDT. At the moment we are faced with miscellaneous requirements,
where we have a master data object which uses BDT framework for maintenance (in
our case an insured objects). While changing or creating the insured objects a
several related objects e.g. Business Partner should also be changed or
created. So am searching for a best practices approach how to implement such a
solution.
One Idea was to so call a
report via SUBMIT AND RETURN in Event DSAVC or DSAVE. Unfortunately this implementation
method has only poor options to handle errors. Second it is also hard to keep LUW
together.
Another idea is to call an additional
BDT instance in the DCHCK-event via FM BDT_INSTANCE_SELECT and the parameters
iv_xpush_classic = ‘X’ and iv_xpop_classic = ‘X’. At this time we didn’t get
this solution working correctly, because there is always something missing
(e.g. global memory is not transferred correctly between the two BDT instances).
So hopefully you can report
about your implementations to find a best practice approach for facing such
requirements.
Hallo
ich möchte an der Stelle eine Diskussion starten um einen Best Practice
Ansatz zu finden, der eine BDT Implementierung/Erweiterung beschreibt, bei der
verschiedene abhängige BDT-Objekte geändert werden. Momentan treffen bei uns
mehrere Anforderungen an, bei deinen Änderungen eines BDT Objektes an ein
anderes BDT Objekte vererbt werden sollen. Sprich es sollen weitere Objekte geänderte
werden, wenn ein Objekt (in unserem Fall ein Versicherungsvertrag) angelegt
oder geändert wird (zum Beispiel ein Geschäftspartner)
Die erste unserer Ideen war es, im Zeitpunkt DSAVC oder DSAVE einen
Report per SUBMIT AND RETURN aufzurufen. Dieser sollte dann die abhängigen Änderungen
durchführen. Allerdings gibt es hier Probleme mit der Fehlerbehandlung, da
diese asynchrone stattfinden muss. Weiterhin ist es auch schwer die Konsistenz der
LUW zu garantieren.
Ein anderer Ansatz den wir verfolgt hatten, war im Zeitpunkt
DCHCK per FuBA BDT_INSTANCE_SELECT und den Parameter iv_xpush_classic = ‘X’ and
iv_xpop_classic = ‘X’ eine neue BDT Instanz zu erzeugen. Leider konnten wir diese
Lösung nicht endgültig zum Laufen bekommen, da es immer Probleme beim
Übertragen der globalen Speicher der einzelnen BDT Instanzen gab.
Ich hoffe Ihr könnt hier eure Implementierungen kurz beschreiben, dass wir
eine Best Practice Ansatz für das Thema finden können

It seems SAP doesn't support Credit/Debit Memo Request with reference to Billing document via IDoc. Via IDoc, we can create sales document only with reference to contract or quotation but not with reference to billing/invoice document.
Wanted to check if anybody came across such requirement and what would be the best way to acheive (Other than custom program using BAPI).

"New Smart Object via copy" via JavaScript?

I'd like to know how to copy a smart object but, so every smart object is independent.
I know you can copy layers via layer.duplicate() but that function just copies a instance of the object instead of creating a new object. So how would you do it?

Install Scriptlisener Plugin and do menu layer>Smart Objects>New Smart Object via Copy
javascript action manager code looks like this
// =======================================================
var idplacedLayerMakeCopy = stringIDToTypeID( "placedLayerMakeCopy" );
executeAction( idplacedLayerMakeCopy, undefined, DialogModes.NO );
Look quit a bit like Michael's above append one may execute faster the the other.

New Smart Object Via Copy

Hello Everyone.
I have a smart object, and, If I apply Control "J" Or Drag It to the New Layer Icon, It will Duplicate the Layer.
And If I Go to Layer-Smart Objects- New Object Via Copy, It dose the same thing.
What Is the Different between Control J, or Go to Layer- Smart Objects- New Smart Object Via Copy.
Thanks

You can have duplicated smart object layers that share a common embedded object and you can have duplicated smart object layers with independent embedded smart object. To get independent embedded object you need to use Layers>Smart Objects>New Smart Object via Copy. There are several way to create duplicate smart object layer with shared embedded object.
