Cross Validation in Segmentation System of SAP B1

Hi Everyone,
I want to know that in segmentation accounting system I have set up a compnay with segmentation accounting system and segment wise g/l accounts are made. Now there are two Branches like Branch A and Branch B and each branch has segmented G/l Account. For example Branch A has a segmented g/l account for Branch A printing and stationey and Branch B Printing and Stationey. Now while making the branch A the user makes a entry in Branch A printing and stationey but if by mistake he makes an entry in Branch B printing and stationey then the system should alert him for the wrong code and should not accept the entry...Now how to check this cross validaion rule in SAP Business One. So that the user in Branch GL is not able to make any entry in the other branch GL which is not assigned to him.
Please let me know your views for it.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for replying as I was not getting any solution for it. So I suppose there is no such work around can be done in it. Anyway if you find any solution then do convey it to me.
Regards

Cross-Validation Rules: How to re-validate segments all ready enabled?

Is it possible to call one of the APIs to re-validate the code combinations againts the Cross-Validation Rules? If the enabled flag is set to 'Y' then the CVR is ignored. I am aware of the Cross-Validation Rules Report which is helpful, but I need to go a step further. I'm looking to loop through the gl.gl_code_combinations tables, re-validate the combinations that are enabled, if CVR fails then determine if there are any amounts that need to be moved prior to disabling the combination.
I have a routine that:
1. creates temp table of all enabled combinations
2. loops through gl_code_combinations
3. deletes record from gl_code_combinations, do not commit
4. calls API fnd_flex_keyval.validate_segs
5. updates status of temp table
6. rollback deleted record
7. repeat 2 - 7 until done
8. query gl_balances using temp table combintions that have failed.
I'm a little nervous to run such a routine, because of the delete.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Jamie

Use where clause for that UDA's in attribute that refer to other attributes data source. the where clause may required use Lookupcodes, these lookup codes may have to be configure in the source attribute values table column.

Cross validation on cost allocation flexfield

We have setup a cost allocation ff with the option to cross-validate segments. We have correctly defined cross validation rules. Yet, when entering costing information for an element entry, the system allows us to enter a combination which violates our cross-validation rules. We have already checked that this combination was not existing before we created the rule so we do not understand why the rule is not working. Any ideas?

did u try with the below error message
ID HRD for the flexfield segment Profit Centre does not exist in the value set PROFIT_CENTRE.
checking value set which is is referring

Cross Validation Rules

I accidentally defined a cross validation rule (CVR) wrongly. My intention was to ensure that cost centre values other than 999 couldnt be combined with balance sheet accounts.
It appears to work initially, except that it prevents me from posting to any non-balance sheet accounts codes, because in the journal entry window the only cost centre segment value that I see is 999, and in the account code segment, the only values that I see are balance sheet account codes.
I need to see other cost centre values and account code values so as to post to P&L account codes, but they are not showing in the journal entry window. I have tried many times to disable the CVR but it hasnt help. I tried to change the CVR and saved it but it hasnt help either.
Can someone let me know how to remove this annoying cross validation rule altogether so that I will be back to where I started?

hi colin,
obviously it is not the CVR problem, coz CVRs will not effect the LOVs. check the security for the responsibility you are using.
thanks,

Integration between an external system and SAP OM

Hi everybody,
I need to integrate an external system with SAP OM, and I would like to know how to do it (idoc? BAPI? other?)
What we need is the following:
1. External system -
> extraction of data changes (Cost center, positions, jobs changes) to an excel file
2. Excel validated by HR administrator
3. Validation of this file -
> creates an Idoc (how do you create it?)
4. This Idoc feeds SAP OM
Regards, and thanks in advance for your answer.
Angie

Hi Pradeep,
Thanks for your answer!
I am fresh in this area of SAP, and I still have questions...
What are the BAPI and Objects to use in this case? (I can't find any for OM)
Thanks again for your enlightenment.

Sap test system needed / sap test system gebraucht

Hi,
maybe somebody of you could give some hint where I can find a test system for sap in a downloadable version 4.5 upwards. I have an sap mini basis system (mbs) in the version 4.6 (c) , but no valid license key on hand due to the fact that the old one has expired and there would not be any new license key available from sap company itself because of already having done the steps up to the latest version.
If somebody could also advise where to find sap test versions in between 4.5/4.6 and the latest it would fantastic to get to know - I need an test environment for abap programming in the first place.
Thanks in advance to you...!
Best regards and wishes !!!
Hallo,
vielleicht gibt es jemand, der mir sagen kann wie oder wo ich ein Testsystem für die ABAP-Entwicklung bekommen kann.
Ich habe für Windows bereits ein MiniSAP-System in der Version 4.6 (c), bei der der Lizenzkey aber nicht mehr funktioniert, da abgelaufen.
Falls mir jemand einen Lizenzkey für diese Version zur Verfügung stellen kann, wäre mir vorerst sehr damit geholfen.
Aber nichtsdestotrotz würde mich eine neuere Test-Version von SAP sehr interessieren. Falls mir jemand hiervon eine Kopie geben kann oder einen Hinweis darüber wo gebührenfrei oder kostengünstig eine solche zur Verfügung steht oder gestellt wird, wäre ich sehr froh darüber, da sich sicherlich seit 4.6 schon ein wenig geändert haben wird, in Menüs u.a. .
Danke im Voraus für eine Antwort auf meine Frage!!
Viele Grüße!!

Hi again,
during installation the java installation folder needs to be selected. After having chosen this the installation aborts by showing a message with the options retry, view log, stop.
This message is generated:
An error occurred while processing option SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR1 including Enhancement Package 1 > SAP Application Server ABAP > MaxDB > Central System > Central System( Last error reported by the step :The subkey 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AntiVirSchedulerService' does not exist on the 'localhost' host.). You can now:
Choose Retry to repeat the current step.
Choose View Log to get more information about the error.
Stop the option and continue with it later.
Log files are written to C:\Programme/sapinst_instdir/NW701/AS-ABAP/ADA/CENTRAL/.
Also some message about my anti-virus software came up saying that there is a problem with with localhost. I have now deinstalled all java from my computer to plainly install the version needed: version jre 1.4.2.x, but I can't find this version in the internet, I mean not in the way that it is obviously the right version. Some description says j2se and other more even though I was googleing for jre 1.4.2 download.
Is there anybody who can advise?
Thanks for any hint.
Best regards

RFC connection between two SAP systems (with SAP router)

Hi!
I would like to set up a RFC-connection from SAP Solution Manager to other SAP system.
The network connection between the servers is VPN.
How can I set up this RFC-connection, if my connection between two SAP systems looks as follows,
(I use the following SAP routers)?
my server --> customer
my server --> internal SAP Router server xy (10.101....) --> SAP Router customer 2 (10.1....) --> SAP System customer (134....)
Back-way
SAP Systeme customer --> SAP Router customer (134.1....) --> internal SAP router (212.6....) --> my server
How can I set up this RFC-connection, if my connection between two SAP systems looks as follows,
(I use the following SAP routers)?
something like:
/H/10.101..../S/sapdp99/H/10.1.4..../S/sapdp99/H/134...
Thank you very much!

Item master synchronisation from third party system to SAP

Hello ,
I would like to understand how we can desgin flow of data in case of changes in Catalog from third party system to SAP.
We have implemented Catalog functionality. Catalog maintained in third party system is accessed from SAP for procurement through catalog button.
Now we want to update SAP contracts when ever there is change in prices in third party system. In this we are also validating currency,UOM, delivery time etc.
How does we can make this synchronisation? What are the possible solution for this?
You valuable inputs will be highly appreciable.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi Neetu
you have to mainatin Item text and not for material PO text...
Do these settings:
SPRO->MM->Purchasing->PO->Texts for POs--->Define copying rule for item texts..
then check you should have a entry for "Item Text" if not then
Put a Consec no. and against it enter item text. then for this you have to maintain text linkage where u should have source object as Purchase requisition.
please confirm if these settings are already there?

Cross validation & Security rules

Hi,
In a typical business scenarios which are the code combinations recommended for
i)Cross Validation rule
ii)Security rule
to have better control?
Thanks

Hello.
It depends on your needs. Suppose you have 2 (01, and 02)companies sharing the same Chart Of Accounts. In order to avoid entering journals from company 01 into company 02 you should create a security rule to reject all code combinations starting by 01 when a Responsibility from company 02 is being used.
Cross validation rules are used to avoid the creation of code combinations that you may think as inappropriate within the company itself. For example, to use the Cost Center segment when the Account segment is not a cost or a revenue.

MCW_AA111 System not a valid BW target system for analytical applications

Dear Gurus,
Our project would like to use retail allocation strategy with reference to SAP BW, such as
Quotas based on SAP BW data
Top down (SAP BW)
Bottom up (SAP BW)
To retract the data from BW, we go to the configuration of Data Retraction for Retail/CP. (T-CODE: MCW_AA).
In the Maintenance of Queries for Analytical Applications, we wanted to add a new entry in the query list. We can find the Target Sys. But when we tried the input help(F4) of the Analyt. Appl. Query., the msg: "MCW_AA111:System is not a valid BW target system for analytical applications" prompt out.
RFC connection has already been established between SAP-retail and BW.
Does anybody have any clue?
Thank you.
Alex.

Extend Cross Validation Rule functionality

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to leverage Cross Validation rule functionality to check combinations against external data sources?
I am sure I have seen this before, but do not know how it was implemented techincally.
When users entered an invalid combination of two segments, maintained outside the EBS, an error message was generated and they could not continue posting the journal. The reason from maintaining the data outside EBS was due to the nature and volume of the relationship being defined.
Any help appreciated.
Kind Regards
Heath

Cross-Validation rules only affect new account combinations that are created after you define or enable the rules. If you have existing combinations that violate your rules, your cross-validation rules will not be enforced. You will need to disable all existing combinations that violate your rules before your cross-validation rules can take effect.
Check if the combination 101.399.1323.5240.000.0000.00000.000 was already created before you created your CV rules.
Thanks,
Anil

How to implement SSO to non-SAP systems using SAP logon ticket?

Hello,
We would like to implement Single Sign On between our SAP Netweaver system and a Siebel which is a non-SAP system using SAP logon tickets.
Can anyone please give me some leads on this, in particular:
1. Is there a JAVA API or an SAP plug-in that can be implemented on the Siebel machine to extract the SAP logon ticket?
2. As the other machine might seat on a complete different domain, is it possible to implement SAP logon ticket without using cookies (perhaps through the HTTP header?
3. In case you think using SAP logon tickets is not the best solution here I would be happy to hear any other suggestions you might have.

I'm currently using SAML as well. Unfortunately the SAP J2EE cannot work as authority (identity provider) but what you can do is using an open implementation of SAML such as opensso which is an open version of SUNs Java System access manager.
There are a couple of other projects such as opensaml, apache's wss4j or shibboleth that might be interesting in this context.
I just installed opensso and got it working with SAP J2EE 7.0 using SAPs JAAS SAMLLoginModule to authenticate users within SAP J2EE.
In this scenario opensso serves as identity provider just as you need! There are a couple of Policy agents available on SUNs Download site you can use with Apache, Tomcat, JBOSS, WebSphere, Bea Web Logic etc. in order to authenticate! Otherwise you just directly authenticate against opensso. When installing opensso you can configure the type of user store you want to use! By default it uses LDAP but you can also use different types of user store using JDBC or other mechanisms. Since you have a Directory Service you could easily connect it to your existing directory.
There is also a way to map user ids directly in opensso by adding a uid mapping class. I created some documentation with lots of screenshots about using opensso with SAP J2EE. You can easily use opensso with any other system that supports SAML. In the case of SAP the usage is currently limited to SAML versions 1.0 and 1.1. Version 2.0 is not yet supported but should be in one of the following versions.
Here are some links you might want to check:
OpenSAML: https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/OpenSAML/Home
wss4j: http://ws.apache.org/wss4j/
shibboleth: http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/
opensso: https://opensso.dev.java.net/
On SDN you will find a documentation on how to connect SUN Java System Access Manager to SAP J2EE (see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/906d9fc6-31b9-2910-1385-90edad7d7570). As I said opensso is based on the SUN Access Manager code and looks quite the same. So you can adapt this documentation in order to configure opensso or you can just ask me for the documentation.
Hope this is helpful...
Let me know if you need further assistance on this topic

Changing from Periodic inventory system to SAP

Hi All,
I have an accounting questions regarding company that switching from Periodic Inventory system to SAP's perpetual inventory system.
For company that practices Periodic Inventory System, the method to calculate cost of goods sold = opening stock balances + purchases - closing stock balances. All these is reflected in the P&L statement.
When they switch to SAP, do they need to enter all these figures into SAP for the opening balances?
As SAP will not have opening balance stock, closing stock and purchases accounts, do they have to create these accounts in P&L just to take in the balances?
Does anyone have implemented for company that changing from periodic to perpetual inventory system? How do you take in the opening balances? if possible please give example, thanks in advance.
Regards,
MH

Hi All,
Thanks for the reply. But what is the variance that you guys are talking about? Take example:
Old system:
Opening Stock balance = $ 5,000
+Purchases = $20,000
-Closing Stock balance = $ 9,000
Balance = $16,000
The amount that goes into Asset is Closing Balance $9,000 and the amount goes to P&L as COGS is $ 16,000? The rest for $20,000 and $ 5,000 can be ignore?
Thanks in advance if anyone can answer my question here.
Regards,
MH
