Creation of SDEB instead of PReq

Hi Guys
I have a concern in MRP results. I am getting SDEB elements instead of PReqs. for externally procured product.
I understand that MRP will give SDeb (purchase proposal) if MRP execution date is out of opening date and start date of the requirement. However in my case as given below:
Requirement 1:
Requirement Date: 30 Oct 2011, Sunday
GR Time=0
Opening period=0
Planned del time = 7
and MRP date = 23 Jul 2011
So I expected the MRP should say SDeb, But it showed: Preq on 25 Oct 2011, Tuesday
Requirement 2: (Same Material, same MRP execution)
Requirement Date: 29 Jul 2012, Sunday
GR Time=0
Opening period=0
Planned del time = 7
and MRP date = 23 Jul 2011
MRP Result: SDeb on 24 Jul 2012, Tuesday
Also note that the Planning calendar has only Tuesdays in it (not sure if this impacts the decision of SDeb vs Pur Req)
Can you guys please suggest why is system behaving in this fashion.
Thanks in advance

Hi
I think you used the parameter 'Create purchase req.' as 2 (Create purchase requisition in the openning period).
In this case, if the delivery date calculated (e.g. requiement date - lead time like planned delivery tiem) fall in the openning period (The end date of the openning period = current date + openning period of the scheudling margin key) then the purchase requistiion will be created otherwise the planned order will be created. Howver if the openning period of schedule margin key is zero as your case, no purchase requisition can be created as the end date of the openning period cannot be determined.
You may maintain the enough long time of opennin period to cover the proposals created.
Or you'd better run mrp with creation indicator 1.
Furthermore, please note that there is one customization which has higher priority for the creation indicator than the one of initial screen of MRP running transactions.
Customization: OPPQ, go to the plant, click the button 'Creation indicator' there you would see the same parameters.

Creation of SDEB's instead of Purchase requisitions while running Plant MRP

Hi Gurus,
we noticed that after the weekend run of MRP that the system has produced SDEB''s rather than Purchase requisitions. When we run individual MRP for a part then a purchase requisition is created and if run an MRP total region requisitions are not created. Can you please explain why this is happneing as it is affecting the ordering of goods for producton.
thank you,
Naveen.

Thank you.

Creation of SDEB's for MRP type = VB materials.

Hi Gurus,
When we run plant wise MRP, SDEB's are created instead of Purchase requisitions for all Manual re-order point materials. We understand that SDEB's are created when the stock of tha material is above tha Re-order point, and this SDEB's indicate tha MRP controller whether he can create manually Purchase requisitions or not.
But, we are getting these SDEB's for the materials that have stock below the Re-order point as well. Which is not correct i think.?
For your information, when we run material wise MRP there are no SDEB's at all.
Please explain what might be the Root cause and the solution to over come this..
Thanks for your understanding..

Dear colleague,
without checking the issue it is difficult to know if there is an error.
Please check if the following information can explain the behaviour of your system:
A)When you do MD01 or MDBT the creaton indicators defines in the
customising are used . whereas when you run MD02 or MD03 the creation
indicator on the individual screen is used.
Single-item planning and total planning follow a different logic
concernng the creation indicators.This is also described in the
documentation for Master Planning/Materials Planning (Chapter 4, Section
2) and in the Implementation Guide.
Single-item planning:
        The entered creation indicators are generally valid.
Total planning:
       The entered creation indicators are used as default values.
       For materials from an MRP group, the values from the MRP group
       apply (if available).
       The creation indicator for delivery schedules can additionally be
       specified per plant. This is used if nothing was specified via
       the MRP group.
       Thus, the priority is as follows:
      1. MRP group
      2. Plant
      3. Initial screen
B)In MD02 system can de multilevel (For components of a header Materia)
or/and Multiplant (Stock Transfre ) planning. In such cases for all the
materials involved the creation indicator used in the screen is used.
C)The creation indicator makes sense only for materials having
procurement type external procurement (F) in material master. For the
materilas which are produced in house (Procurement type E) system will
always create planned orders.
    And Materials having procurement type X(Both procurement types ) is
treated as Inhouse produced material by planning . Thus for such
materials system will always create a planned order. Now this planned
order can be converted into a production orer or into a purchase
order(via purchase Requisition).
    When you run MRP with "Create Purchase Requisition " in the opening
period , then the syetm uses in the opening period defined via the
scheduling margin Key. In material master , MRP 2 View we maintain
scheduling margin key. And in Transaction OPP1->Planning->Scheduling and
Capacity Parameters ->Define floats we maintain the opening periods per
plant. I am attaching details of Opening period :
   opening period: Opening period is the time which the MRP controller
needs to analyse.Thus he has this buffer with him to rectify any issues
before converting the planned order into purchase requisition.
The opening period is only used in backward scheduling.
Suppose There is a requirement for a material on date =RD1
Let the Goods receipt processing time is= T1
Let the planned delivery time =L1
Let the purchasing Processing time = X1
Let the opening period for this material is P1
Time line for external procurement:
        Planned Del   Pur proc         GR Process
          Time            Time          Time
___|__________|_________|___________|___
              L1            X1         T1
   SD                                         RD1
Now accoring to Basic scheduling:
   Receipt/Requirements Date(RD1)
   Release/Start Date(SD) = RD1-T1-L1-X1
Now let me explain to you when the planned order an purchase
Requisitions are created:
Let us say the date on which you do MRP be MR1
OD = Opening Date
From above diagram :
                                 Opening Per
                                 In Sch Mar Key
__________________|______________|
XX                          OD                 SD
                                              Release/Start Date
If your MRP date(generally Today) is lying between XX and OD (and
excludind OD)then
MRP creates planned order and if it lies between (and indclind OD)
OD and SD then we create purchase req.
when your MRP date comes between the period OD and SD then you do not
have time left to analyse and therefore instead of you in such cases
forgetting and delaying system automatically creates purchase req.
      In general if , if your order start date or release date is after
the opening period from today then MRP will create planned order.
Oterwise it creates Purchase req.
Check also if you have the note 1063969 applied in your system.
I hope it solves the issue. Otheriwse I think you should open an OSS message with connection to your system,
best regards,
maria

To Simulate PR creation and capture errors in SRM

Hello Experts,
We are on SRM 7.0 EHP 1, classic scenario.
SC is created in SRM, post which, PR and PO gets created in ECC.
Sometimes, though SC is ordered successfully, it goes into error due to various reasons. (Mostly PR creation at ECC fails due to some data error etc)
Is it possible that:
In SRM, once we order SC,
> it will simulate PR creation in backend, Instead of actually creating a PR
> capture error if any at the time of PR creation simulation
> and display the same to user in SRM? So that user knows what the error is and hence can modify data and order SC successfully at one go?
Will it be possible to do this custom enhancement? Any pointers?
Is it possible to trigger an email to appropriate requestor based on RZ20 status? (As RZ20 captures error, can we send the SC error reason to requestor? But again this will increase requestors work of re-ordering the SC)
Are there any other simpler/better options?
Thanks,
Dhananjay

Hello Ankit,
Thanks for your reply.
1. We do not have SC approval process in SRM. Once the SC is ordered its get auto-approved. So is there any BADI which I can utilize to simulate PR creation > capture error > and display it to Requestor?
2. In the case email notifications, will it be possible to send the exact error reason for SC error? Do we have any standard FM to do this? or it will be custom code query on standard tables?
Pls let me know.
Thanks,
Dhananjay

Search Reference document UI not showing up during complaint creation

Hello Gurus,
I am trying to create a Follow Up Complaint from a service request, but when I select my follow up complaint transaction type I am directly navigated to Complaint creation overview page Instead my requirement is I should be navigated to "Search Reference document" UI screen because we wanted to search for ERP Sales Transaction to add items into CRM Complaints.
I know that it can be achieved from Item assignment block of Complaint transaction but I wanted to the ERP Sales order Search option available.
for the same Complaint transaction type when I try to create it by clicking on work center "Complaint", I get the "Search Reference document" UI Screen, I want similar screen when I create the complaint as follow up to CRM Service Request as well.
how do I achieve this?
Thanks

Hello Hari,
Sorry for the delayed Response, will check this BADI and if it helps then I will update this thread

CRM - SAP ECC 6.0- How to keep creation user data

Hello gurus,
I'm working on a SAP project which scope is CRM - ECC6.0 (IS-U +SD) - BI 7.0 and we are facing an issue trying to extract from IS-U the user who created a business operation.
You have to know that process designed is :
- business operation is created in CRM (as for business partner, contract account ...) by a user A.
- business operation is replicated from CRM to IS-U
- Communication user set up is called RFCUSER.
So that every business operations created in CRM, is created in IS-U and get mentioned in user creation area : RFCUSER instead of user A.
Similarly when an business operation is modified from ISU to CRM, the modification user is RFCUSER.
This is an issue when we try to know which user has created this business operation in ISU. We must go in CRM to read data.
So I want to konw if it's possible to change the communication user (make every user a communication user. It seems to be the worst solution, or if we can change bdoc structure exchange to keep creation user data, or if a customizing exists to solve this issue).
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Jacques Toubon.

Hello
Please give me suggestions on prerequisites for upgrade.
Start with these SAP notes and the guide.
https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001228732011
1566412 - Enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0: Required SWC

1.How can we decide it is one step proces or two step process?
Upgrade from EHP4 to EHP6 is a single upgrade.
Bear in mind that EHP6 needs a higher version of OS and DB.
Please check PAM for supported OS and DB for EHP6
2.can we skip shadow instance creation step??
Download the SUM guide and read the chapter "Preconfiguration Mode Planning" and the "Current Capabilities" section. Here is the SUM guide for SAP on Unix with Oracle.
https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000783532011E
There are different upgrade scenarios. The section "Recommendations for Choosing the Preconfiguration Mode" explains the use of each mode and the mode you should select.
3.can we copy sum tool in /usr/sap/sid/sum??
Yes you can. But I suggest you to create a new file system called /usr/sap/SID/SUM for the upgrade purpose instead of creating a directory called SUM under /usr/sap/SID file system.

Unable to Customize SharePoint 2013 Discussion Board

Hi,
We are trying to customize SharePoint 2013 Discussion Board app and are unable to modify existing Flat, Subject, and Threaded views or create new views. Following are the error messages we are getting:
*** Error message when creating new views based on view types Subject, Flat, or Threaded:
TypeError: Unable to get value of the property '0': object is null or undefined
Note that when creating the view no options are available (only option to name and make default are available). The view created after display of this error message does not have any Columns, Sort, Filter or
other properties defined. Manually defining these properties does not make the view function as desired (Flat view is not flat).
*** Error message when editing existing default views Subject, Flat, or Threaded:
Cannot complete this action.
Please try again.
Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.
Note that this is nothing to troubleshoot or error number provided. The URL shows /_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=65001. Also, the edit screen does not show any view property to change.
Note that both ability to edit existing views and create new views work in SharePoint 2010. This issue is with SharePoint 2013. Please guide to resolve this. View in other apps can be edited.
This issue is only with the Discussion Board app.
-Thanks, Maqsood.

You will not be able to modify the default view in SharePoint 2013 i.e. Subject/Flat or threaded. However you can create a new view based on your requirement and use it.
When you try to create new view, the fields will not be available for you to select during creation of view, instead create a view with proper name, once the view is created, go back for modifying the new view and you will have the fields available for selection.
Note: Make sure you have mandatory CU installed on the farm.

Update Fund & Fund center data in auto generated PR during MRP RUN

Problem in the MRP auto generated PRs.
The normal PRs created manually have all relevant fields of fund center viz CO area ,commitment item,Funds center, fund.
But the problem is with respect to the Purchase Requisitions generated automatically during the MRP RUN.
How to include the fund centers in MRP generated PRs automatically in the creation stage itself instead of going into change mode using ME52n Transaction code and change it to include fund centers one by one for each line item.
We require this as we have hundreds of PRs generated every day.

Hi,
In order to fulfill this requirement, transaction FM_MRP_PR should be used.
Please also take a look to FM_MRP_PR on-line documentation :
The PRs generated from the MRP run are considered as planning documents
and do not have any impact on the budget. To encumber these PRs in the
corresponding settlement receivers, you have to execute this program for
the relevant PRs.

Seperate Inco Terms on at Plant level

Hi
I am new to this forum and I need your help to find out if there are any quick solution to my below issue. Our business has a requirement where there would be a new plant rolled-out under the same company code but having a different delivery address so for any external purchasing from Vendors, they are suggesting we have a new Purchase Organisation in order to in-corporate a seperate Inco-terms so it would appear on the PO print. I am not sure if this is the correct solution as because that would be lot of work in terms of Master data creation, etc. Instead I proposed we could maintain Inco-terms at Plant level in the PIR's so that would be picked on the PO output. But since we also have A/c assigned PO's and other Service items for which there are no PIR's, how can we handle this situation? Obviously for these orders, the Inco terms are getting picked from the Vendor Master. And I am sure this is not a unique problem as anyone will have the same issue!!
Could you please tell me if there is any better solution or any user exit which solely handle these type of situations? We are on ECC 6.0 btw.
Thanks in advance
Cath

Hi Ajit / Jurgen
Your valuable answers pointed me to the right direction, many thanks for that!! When we wish to raise a PO with A/C assignment (free text items) or for service items, the concept of Inco terms does not arise. So in these cases, the Alternative data in the Purchasing view of Vendor Master really helps to have different sets of data with the plant combinations. So when I maintained different Inco terms for two seperate plants for the same Vendor (even though he is with different Company Codes!), I could able to create two PO's with outputs showing different Inco terms. So this test proves what I am aiming for and clear any confusions (I am talking about me
Thanks once again guys

Login information for RFC call

Hi there,
I would like to know if there is a way to authenticate a user via bsp and get that login information to make the RFC call to different systems.
i tried the to call an FM via RFC directly from abap and it forces me to login and it works but when i put that code to bsp. I just get a "page cannot be displayed" error.
I know i can enter an ID and password on sm59 for the connection but i need to let the user login
I am using this for a user creation tool.. instead of using su01 to create a user it will be done via bsp and would like to reflect the changes done when running the reports from SUIM
thanks in advance
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
I will assume your RFC Destination already trusted system and using current user logon (see my previous reply).
However this still prerequisite for the next step.
Now, please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
In your reply, you have at least 2 System, right?
S1 & S2.
Where S1 has BSP Application (Ex:/ FormRegistration)
And S2 is where you control the user and Function Module.
Do you put, generic user for all BSP Service in System S1?
You can create another BSP Application in System S1 (Ex:/ CallingFM)
but this time don't put default user in BSP Service.
And from BSP Application FormRegistration, you create 1 button to call the BSP Application CallingFM.
I will give you sample code:
FormRegistration: address:http://systemS1.sap.com/FormRegistration/page1.htm
HTML Part:
===========
<HTML>
<input type="button" value="Register the user" onclick="submitUser();">
<script>
   function submitUser(){
       document.forms[0].action = 'http://systemS1.sap.com/CallingFM/page1.htm';
       document.forms[0].target = '_new';
        //it will open new window, just put it empty if you don't want to open new window.
       document.forms[0].submit();
</script>
</HTML>
Now, when user click Button "Register the user" it will open the new window.
But because it doesn't allow you to using default user, it will prompt user id and password.
After that it will submit the data to CallingFM
Now in CallingFM we already have the sy-uname = user-B.
CallingFM: address-> http://systemS1.sap.com/CallingFM/page1.htm
OnInputProcessing Part:
=================
call function 'zcreate_user' destination 'S2'
Why you need CallingFM BSP application? because you need to re-assign sy-uname in S1 from default user with user-B ID, and use it to connect to System S2, S3, etc.
Please note: SM59 and User Id must be set before this.
Because when you call RFC from other destination, SAP will refer to Logon setting in SM59 for that destination.
Hope this will help you.

Consume Web Service in ECC6

Hello
Im sure somebody can help me with the question here.
Im trying to create proxy client in ECC6 by using SE80 ( and press Enterprise service tag ), which is the path for 640. But I could not find creation button. Instead, system tells me Connection to integration builder. It seems to me that we have to create proxy client in XI. Is it still possible to consume a web service in SAP for ECC6 without going through XI ?
Thank you for any answers, insights, or speculations.

Doubt in SUBMIT command

Hi,
I am calling rvv50r10a program in my report using submit command. I created a variant in the selection screen of rvv50r10a. Now I want Deliv.creation date to have space for both low and high value. Am not able to save the high value as SPACE in the variant. How to make the high value as space.
Please advice.

Problem with Time Capsule under Samba + timestamp

I´m using TimeCapsule with a Linux machine via samba. I have found out that there seems no way (over samba) to copy a file to the time capsule and maintain it´s creation date.
The same command for rsync -av ./folder_source /Volumes/TimeCapsule/ on the MacOs behaves different over AFP (copies correctly the file creation date) and Samba (doesn´t copy the file creation date, and instead uses the current time).
This means I can´t use Rsync with Linux, as everytime, it tries to copy everything again, instead of only copying new files.
Help I tried doing the same command on a Windows samba share, and it correctly maintains the file date. Is this a time capsule behaviour bug? Is there any config I can make to change this?

So this is probably a dead thread, but I came across this same problem and want to note what I did to solve a very similar problem. For me it was copying from the TC, via samba, to a linux box using rsync.
The key resolution, use cifs, not smbfs, as the mount type. When I used smbfs, the files on the TC didn't report the proper timestamp. Some where stating the year 1940 (which isn't even any epoch date). Also, for files over 2G the dates were fubared (perhaps overflow in the stat struct passed from the TC) and won't copy anyways due to smbfs file size limitations.
Here is a sample cifs fstab line:
//10.0.1.1/TimeCapsuleShare /mnt/timecapsule cifs ro,noauto,user,credentials=/etc/samba/tc.creds,lfs,uid=farl,gid=farl,filemode=0770,dirmode=0770 0 0
This does not solve the funky creation timestamp issue, most of my creation dates when checked over smb were Fat32 epoch of Jan 1 1980, but were correct when checked over afp from a Mac. I'm uncertain if this is a smb deficiency or TC bug, but I didn't look too much into that since by default rsync uses sizes and modification dates (AFAIK), so it shouldn't matter.
Also, if you were like me and only discovered this after copying huge amounts of data that you don't want to recopy here's a quick script I found and modified to change local timestamps to match what's on the TC and prevent rsync from recopying files that shouldn't be recopied:
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
# assumes TC is mounted on /mnt/timecapsule.
# assumes /mnt/store/timecapsule/weekly.0/store/ is the rsync backup of /mnt/timecapsule/store/, the directory you want to pull the true timestamps from.
use strict;
if (`mount` !~ m/timecapsule/) {
