Creation of change pointer for condition split

Hi,
We have SAP system which is integrated with PMM(mainly used for pricing).
Scenario is as explained below.
There is one condition record whose validity is from 25/12/2011 to End of TIme (EOT) for one price record.
Assume today (08/02/2012) business created new condition whose validity is 08/02/2012 to EOT for another price.
Now what happened is in condition table split happened one from 25/12/2011 to 07/02/2012 and one more from 08/02/2012 to EOT.
But we observed that while sending the information to PMM system through idoc system is not sending the condiion record 25/12/2011 to 07/02/2012.
*Now question is whether this is SAP standard functionality (not to send Past validity records) or it is custom change specific to company
.*Assume user creates conditon record whose validity is from tomorrow (09/02/2012) to EOT then split happens like 25/12/2011 to 08/02/2012 (which is today) and 09/02/2012 to EOT.
In this case idoc sends both the condition record as 08/02/2012 is today and not in the past.
Thanks and Regards

FYI... While pricing condition determination in sales order will refer the pricing value from condition record (with proper validity) based on pricing date.
Say, you condition record for base price as PR00.
Rate
UoM
Valid from
Valid to
100
per EA
01.01.2011
31.01.2011
120
per EA
01.01.2012
31.01.2012
Now you are creating a sales order on 09 Feb 2012. But the pricing date is 21.12.2011.
Then system will copy pricing as 100 instead of 120.
This example practical happens when you create sales order with reference to contract or quotation.
Now, in SAP PMM, I hope you are maintaining condition records through Idoc or may be real sync, then you should have provision for accommodate, these change in pricing and validity.
Now question is whether this is SAP standard functionality (not to send Past validity records) or it is custom change specific to company
Now it totally depends on your/client organization/business process requirement.
I hope this can assist you in understanding. If you have any further concern or doubt, do revert back

Change pointer for Sales Order

Hi,
Using change pointers I want to create an IDOC when ever a specific field in the sales order line item is changed. I have activated the change pointer for message type ORDRSP. Also maintained the following entries in BD52
VERKBELEG(Object) VBAP(Table) ABGRU(field).
After this when I change this field at the sales order line item, it inserts entries into change pointer table.
But my problem is creating IDOC's from those change pointer entries. I am not sure which function module (MASTERIDOC_CREATE_XXXXX) works for this.
Anyhelp on this highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Ram,
I don't think so you can use change pointer for sales order changes. Usually, it is done through transaction code<b> NACE</b> - configuring condition for output type.
You can setup requeirement in procedure control to trigger IDoc ORDRSP for any changes in item level.
Hope this will help you and give an idea.

How to set a change pointer for a perticular table?

Hi,
Please let me know how to set a change pointer for a perticular table.

what do you mean by 'change pointer'? normally this idiom is used for sending ÍDOCs from one system/client/org-unit to another ...
do you generally want to record changes to a specific table? then set parameter rec/client using RZ10 for your instance profiles and restart the instances in order for the parameter to take effect.
set the table to 'record all changes' using SE11.
you might re-consider if the table has a lot of data and is accessed very often for performance-resons.
change protocols can be evaluated using tx, SCU3.

Change pointer for functional location- deletion flag & activation status

Hello,
Im trying to use change pointer for functional location outbound interface. I did all required settings in BD52. The problem is with deletion flag and acive/deactive status.
I found that those two are stored in:
table     field
TAPL     LOEKZ
TAPL     PARKZ
The problem I have is that I cannot find the object for those table, and due to that it cannot be customized in BD52.
Could You please advise which object class should I use or alternatively which other table/field and object should I type in to activate change poiters for deletion flag and active/ not active status?
For object IFLO, and its table (IFLOT, IFLOTX, ILOA)- there is no field for del flag and active status.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, standard didnt let us fulfilling this requirement. What we did- we extended table IFLOT with additional field for the status and used an user exit when saving FL, to take the value (status) from table JEST/TJ02T and copy the value to the newly created field. Then BD52, iflo, iflot, and the new field and it worked. Of course the function module for the message type (BD60) had to be changed to add this status value in additional segment/field for the idoc. Hope this will help You, as there is a lot of technical background behind it, and this is only functional overview.

Problem to create change pointer for custom message type - Idoc creation

Hi,
We want to create IDOC and send it out when the data of "planning calendar" changes. So we are trying to generate change pointers whenever entries in Table T439I (Planniing calendar) data change.
We created a message type, activated change pointers generally and maintained change relevant fields for message type (not sure if this step is done correctly). But not getting any change pointer in table BDCP2 when I create a new planning calendar in MD25.
Can anybody help / guide?

Thanks once again,
I had linked idoc type and message type in we82. Now after i activate the change pointers. I try to generate the IDOC type using BD21. It gives me the error message :<b> "Message type ZP2PPROJ_MSG cannot be sent with change pointers"</b>
whereas in my segments i am using all the master data only (i.e. PRPS, PROJ,PRHI). Please throw some light on this.
Also please clarify, do i need to make an entry of this custome message type in the partner profile ?

Issue with the change pointer for the reduced message type ZMATMAS

Hi All,
I have created reduced message type ZMATMAS for the MATMAS to create a Idoc when change or insert material master data fields( MARA-LAENG, MARA-BREIT, MARA-HOEHE) . My Problem is that the Idoc is generated with the status (03) but the fields(LAENG, BREIT,HOEHE) are not getting fill with the values. They are always filling with the values '/'). I have done the following steps to create idoc for the change pointer. Please check whether i have missed some steps.
1.     Create reduction maintenance ZMATMAS (Tcode BD53)
keep the default selected segments E1MARAM, E1MAKTM
2.     Add following data to maintain table view for the message type ZMATMAS (Tcode BD52)
Object      Table Name     Field Name
MATERIAL       MARA      KEY
MATERIAL     MARA     LAENG
MATERIAL     MARA     BREIT
MATERIAL     MARA     HOEHE
3.     Activate particular change pointer in BD50
Message Type       Active
ZMATMAS         yes
4.     Activate change pointers u2013 Generally (Tcode BD61).
5.     Assign Segment fields to change document fields (Tcode BD66 )
Segment Type     Field Name     Object     Table Name     Field Name
E1MARAM     BREIT     MATERIAL     MARA     BREIT
E1MARAM     HOEHE     MATERIAL     MARA     HOEHE
E1MARAM     LAENG     MATERIAL     MARA     LAENG
6. I have done the distribution model settings (BD64) and the idoc configurations
1.     Logical System
2.     RFC destination
3.     Create port
4.     Create partner profile
7. I changed the fields in material master data(Tcode MM02) and I executed the Tcode BD21.
Idoc is generated but the fields are not getting fill with the values
(Note: some fields are filled with values e. g material number, material description)
I checked the Idoc data segment E1MARAM (WE02)
Fld name   Fld cont.
LAENG       /
BREIT       /
HOEHE      /
Can you please let me know the issue

Issue is solved when I select the segments and the fields in the segments (Tcode :BD53)

Idoc trigerring with change pointer under conditions

Hello dear experts
Could you please tell me how can i trigger an outbound idoc using the change pointer ( RBDMIDOC program)?
I have to generate the ARTMAS outbound idoc ONLY when the material status which is the table MARA is set to a certain value.
I can manage to trigger the outbound idoc but i did not manage to restrict this triggering according to the value of the material status fields.
Thanks for all your answers.
Best Regards.
Yannick

I tested using filter on Dist Wh and change pointers - for us, Dist Wh filter for material set on plant. When we made change to matierial, only if change to plant was made, so plant was included in idoc segment, did the filter work. If change material description, plant not on idoc segment so was sent . Looking for alternative...

Activate change pointer for a new screen field in MM42/41

Hi,
I created a new screen field for Article master(MM41/42/43) under basic data. If there are changes made to this new field how will the system create a corresponding IDOC? does this have something to do with the change pointer thing?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeffrey,
first of all got transaction SALE :
ALE
-> Modeeling and Implementing
-> Master Data Distribution
-> Replication
-> Activate Change Pointer generally
Check if Changepointers are generally on.
Then goto BD50 and activate change pointers fpr message type.
Finally goto BD52 and check if your field is "watched".
After that you can generate idocs from BD21.
Hope it helps.

How to change 'Wait for condition' period?

Hi
The job name is SWWCOND change the job schedule timing for every 1 min. Your wait step will be executed after every 1 min. User name is WF-BATCH.

PO Change history for Condition types

Hi All,
I need to develop a PO ammendment report, where my client wants to capture all changes in the PO. I have checked and found that for fields like pricing/ tax conditions and texts SAP does not keep any track of change. Say for example my freight earlier was $100 and now have changed to $200. In report I need to capture against the FReight condition type what was the old value and what was the new value. CDPOS even does not capture in which condition type I have chanegd the value.
Please suggest the way ahead. Is ther any provision to activate change histoty for these fields?
Best Regards

I have also checked with version management. But it does not capture in which condition type I changed the price. It only reflects the changes in Gross and net price. IN CDHDR also it did not capture. Please suggest the way ahead. Is ther any provision to activate change histoty for these fields?

Change pointer for Extended IDOC

Hi guys,
I have Extended a standard IDOC MATMAS and added few additional fields into it.
Now i have make Change pointers enabled for this IDOC extension.
Is it possible?
Can some one guide me as to how can i create Change pointers for EXTENDED IDOC?
any extra steps required?
Sahil

Hi,
you can use BD52 transaction to add the extended idoc fields inorder to activite the change pointers for them.
Please note that the fields in the extended idoc should have chnage entry in CDHDR whenever you change the field in MM02 transaction. if not change pointer will not work.
If these fields are not marked in change entry in MM02 transaction you can use user exit while saving MM02 and then create the change document for them by coding inside those user exit.
Hope it helps,

Activate change point for message type - message type FIDCC1 not in list

I want to set up idoc for sending entire FI documents.
For this I want to use the change points in the message type FIDCC1 but this message type is not in the list of transaction BD50 (neither if I go via SALE)
I'm not allowed to add it myself, I get a warning the name is not in the namespace (Zxxx or Yxxx).
Is there a way I can add this message type in this list?
-> change points are generally activated
-> ECC 600
edit: I see the message type is in WD81
Edited by: Renaat Vanhaverbeke on Apr 28, 2010 11:05 AM

I found the solution: when I tried to add the message type in BD50 I got the warning the name does not match the namespace rules. But by opening the Performance Assistant I could start the transacion RDDKOR54 to display the namespace rules.
By exiting this transaction I got the question if I want to bypass the namespace check and by answering positive on this I could save the new entry.
PS: I also found that alle message types are defined in table EDMSG
