Decommissioning Service Items

Hi
Just wondering how other organisations deal with service items that need to be decommissioned. As we don't have any formal asset management or CMDB solution in place, we're hoping to leverage LifecycleCentre as much as possible.
We've setup services that automatically create a service item, I've also setup decommission services that updates the status of the service item but I need to work out how to remove the customerID association so that it no longer shows up in a users service item list.
One thought is to have a DB adapter task trigger which does this, as I can't see how you would update using the service item task type. How do the others do it?
Thanks, Meghan

This capability is provided via the Service Item task.
To remove a customer ID from a service item, the SIBD (Service Item Based Dictionary) used in the service that decommissions the SI *must* include the CustomerID and OrganizationID (default fields for SI history which can optionally be included in the SIBD). If you include these fields in the dictionary, and don't assign any value to them, any previous values assigned will be nulled out in the SI when the Service Item task that updates the SI is executed.

What is the Merits and De-Merits if we choose Item or Service Items.

Hi,
Please guide me what are the merits and de merits if we choose Items or Service Items when we are adding AR Invoice under AR Modules.we are using SAP B1 43.
Item: Item to create a sales document for items defined in the Inventory module
Service Item:Service to create a sales document for a service that has not been defined as an Item in SAP Business One, such as a one-time consultation. please share your points.
Regds,
Samapth Kumar Devunuri.

Hi Samapth,
It is clear based on the definition you known. Depending on you business process, the more of the item types, the better. That is because you can do all kinds of analysis and breakdown the accounting details easily. Service types are usually only applied to one time or small amount sales.
Thanks,

Service Item data in Datamart?

Hi,
Just wondering if there is a way to send Service Item data into datamart using ETL? We want to be able to reporting on the SI data in a custom report.
Thank you.

Hello, I am interested in learning more on this new feature. We have requirements for ServiceItems we are planning on implementing services using SI, but most likely won't occur until we upgrade to 10R2. I have been reading 9.4 documentation for ServiceItems and find it difficult to follow. Are there other sources or resources to assist with learning how to use a serviceitem? Outside training is not an option. Thanks again. Bev

Creating a service item

I'm in the middle of creating a new service and am having a problem with service items. I have designed the service item, created the dictionary added some fields, created an active form and finally created a service. In the plan for the service my first step is to create a service item. Then I call the CPO process which updates the service item and finally I do an update service item.
My problem is the service item never gets created. I plan on using this service item for subsequent services but can't as it never exists. The CPO process gets called properly and updates the requisition form properly but no service item.
Can anyone give me some clues as to what I've done wrong? I'm using CIAC 3.0. Haven't yet upgraded to 3.1.

Maksim,
It turns out that in my active form I wasn't creating a value for the Name field and thus it was refusing to save my Service Item. I only discovered this after trying to create a Service Item manually and accidentally leaving the Name field empty. I am not using the Name field in my form so now instead it's set to hidden but I also generate a GUID for it and this now works as expected.
Just little things to keep us on our toes!

Different tax codes in the MIRO for single service item

Dear all,
Customer wants to enter 2 different tax codes in the MIRO for single service item. How it can be achieved?

Milosavljevic Sreten wrote:

It is cross-counties transportation. Part of route outside company country is non-taxable, inside part is taxable. Amounts are proportional to distance and hence become known only at time of invoice receipt.
Users do not want to create 2 separate invoices. They would like to have ability to enter 2 lines in MIRO. But I need your help to understand, how it can be done? Service receipt is done by single line (because actual taxable / non-taxable amount is unknown at that time). So, is it possible to enter non-taxable amount in MIRO in some additional line?

How to track Service Item in Install Base

Hi,
How to track a Service Item in Install Base. If I'm right, when we define the item as Service Item in Inventory, Install Base Trackable cannot be enableed...
Scenario:
Customer is doing some services to its customer which has a contract for 1 Year. So we are creating service as Service Item in Inventory and then we create a contract for this service item.
How do we track this in Install Base?
Please help
Thanks & Regards,
Pavithara R.

Hi,
A service item by definition need not be tracked in IB. The service may be provided on a machine or asset which will be tracked in IB. Since service item is not a tangiable item, it is not IB trackable.
Kindly explain the business scenario to track the service item in IB.
Regards

No more than one service items on PR

Hello,
I'm sending Purchase requisitions to an external system thru an interface. This system doesn't support multiple items per line items (i.e., 2 services lines in the same PR line item).
So I need to restrict the service line items to contain only one service line. I tried to implement exit EXIT_SAPLMLSP_031 from enhancement SRVESLL to call an error message when the document has more than one service item, but it results on system locking the line until error message is cleared, but it can be cleared with the screen locked on the second item.
Is there another way to approach this issue? may be an exit on document check that contains the tables for the service items?
Thanks in advance,
Nelson.

Hello Prabu,
Thanks for your reply.
What I actually need is to have various items, per document, but only 1 service item per line item.
i.e.
PR 1000000001
Item 1 - Consulting support
            Service item 1 - MM Consulting
Item 2 - Consulting support
            Service item 1 - ABAP Consulting
instead of:
PR 1000000001
Item 1 - Consulting support
            Service item 1 - MM Consulting
            Service item 2 - ABAP Consulting
Any ideas to achieve this?
Regards,
Nelson.

Account assignment for service item not copied from PR in PO

Hi,
We have a PR created for a service item from SRM. When we run ME59 it automatically creates the PO without issues by copying the account assignment details from the PR. The problem is as follows:
1. If we try to manually create a PO using ME21N from this PR, the account assignment is not getting copied from the PR but it throws the account assignment pop up screen where we manually have to enter the account assignment.
2. The client is using a Z transaction of ME59 which is copy of Me59 but with a few validations (nothing to do with Account assignment). This Z Tcode also fails to create the PO with the error 'no account assignment'. Indicating that the PR account assignment details are not getting copied.
Note: This is happening for all PR's irrespective of whether its created in SRM or created using ME51N.
Please let me know if someone has faced a similar issue
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Ability to modify Account Assignment Category for Service Item Categories

Dear experts,
Our customer has a requirement to modify the account assignment category when the item category is set to "D" services on a PR and PO line item. This scenario is specific to indirect procurement scenarios in SAP ECC 6.0 MM.
End users may potentially create a PR against a service item category with an incorrect account assignment category. These PRs are created using free form text. No service master exists in these scenarios. During the approval process or during PO creation, an approver or the buyer may need to correct the account assignment category. The account assignment category is "display" only and cannot be modified when the item category is set to "D". The user must delete the line item and create a new line item with the correct account assignment category. The copy function cannot be used because the account assignment copies from the existing line and cannot be modified.
Any recommendations to this issue using standard SAP configuration solutions?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Item Category to Account Assignment Category combination is already configured. For Service Item Category, we have three account assignment categories configured. All three categories are valid in different scenarios. Sometimes the user selects the incorrect account assignment category (out of the three available) depending on the business scenario. PT9F configuration is already set to Account Assignment category "optional". However, the account assignment category still cannot be modified on the PR when the item category is "D" service.
Any other recommendations?

Unable to find mapping Interface columns for Service Items in Sales Order

Hi All,
I have a requirement to create a service item for a Sales Order through Interface tables. Once the oe_headers_iface_all and oe_lines_iface_all tables are populated, order import program is run to populate the data into the base tables.
I am unable to figure out the interface mapping columns for the base table columns namely,
(oe_order_lines_all table)
service_ref_order_type
service_ref_order_numbe
service_ref_line_number
service_ref_shipment_number
Also, the above mentioned base table columns are mandatory and not able to create a Service item through Order import.
When checked in the front end, per record history these columns are taken from oe_order_lines_v, however when checked in the query of this view am unable to trace the above four columns.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay

Delivery completed indicator in purchase order for service item

How can I make the delivery completed indicator (EKPO-ELIKZ) in a purchase order for a service item ready for direct changes.
Per default this field is hidden on purpose for service items (according to SAP note 735404). Please inform me of customizing entry where that can be changed!
Thanks,
Johnny

delivery completed indicator only gives information for MRP ( That not consider balance qty as onorder stock), it has no control on GR, so I am not sure what you will achieve to mark it in service PO?
