Dedicated coding mask for standard template.

Hi Experts
I wish to maintain coding mask for: various varities of projects like:
1) PP/00000-00-00-00
2) PS/00000-00-00-00
3) PA/00000-00-00-00
To have the template functionality also in place, please suggest which of the following is best?
1) The above coding masks are allowed for both operative and standard. It means, the number series contains mix of both std and operative projects.
2) To have a dedicated coding mask ST/00000-00-00-00 which will be a common standard template for creating Operative projects using the above masks. I am still having doubt since i could not test this as the existing system coding masks not allowed for modication.
I request the experts, to suggest a best practice in this regard.
warm regards

The number series will not contain the mix of both operative and standard structures as you have mentioned in point 1. Please check.
As for point 2, Kabir is right. Create a new mask for standard structures and lock it for operative projects.

Difficult with different coding masks for operative and std templates.

Hi Experts
I have below coding masks
OP-XXXX-XX-XX For operative structures (not allowed for std templates)
ST-XXXX-XX-XX For std tempplates (not allowed for operative structures)
But i am unable to create operative project using std template.
I have disabled Lck for std mask and tried, then i could create project but the operative project got created with WBS element's short id 'ST' and not with 'OP'
How to ensure getting the right WBS id while copying from different standard coding mask?
warm regards

Hi Ahmed
I have gone through help, but i did not get any clue to make use different project IDs for std and operative.
I am just looking for this to have dedicated structures for both std and operative, due to which one can easily recognise the nature by seeing the project id.
Of course, it is very comfortable using unique project ID / coding mask for both. Still i am exploring. You may suggest if feasible.

Mass Change Function for Standard Templates

Hi All,
I am trying to use Mass Change Function to change one field value in my Standard project Definitions as well as Standard WBS Elements but its not doing.Is it that Mass change Function is only aplicable for Operative projects and not for Standard Templates?
Expecting your response on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Harsh Shekhar.

your observations are correct - mass change functions are only for oprative pojects and not for standard templates
you can try LSMW

Validation Rule for the coding mask and project profile

Hi,
I have two project profile and two coding masks. I want one project profile to be only used by defined coding mask for that profile.
So i have maintained a validation rule as follow -
Prerequisite - Project Def. :1-3: = 'A5M'
Check - Project Profile = 'ABC'
And if the above check is failed then give me an error message.
Now i am trying to add the project profile other than 'ABC' for the coding mask starting with 'A5M', but still the system is not giving me an error message configured and allowing me to save the project.
Is there any other thing which is tobe activated other than assigning the validation rule in project profile and clicking the Autom. validation check box in OPSA.
Request to confirm share the views.
Thanks

Hi,
Try the following, this must work.
Prerequisite
PROJ-PROFL = "ABC"
Check
PROJ-PSPID: 1-3: = "A5M"
Message
Project profile & Coding mask wronly assigned
Repeat the same for other project profiles also.
Enter this validation in your project profile. Check in "Auto Validation"
In transactinal data,
Enter project def and select the wrong profile. when you save the project system will show you the error message.
Hope this will help you.

Different Lengths for Project coding Mask

Hello
How do I set up multiple project coding masks of different lengths for use in different company codes.
For example:
project number/mask range 1 could be: 1/xxxxx
and
project number/mask range 2 could be 1/xx/xxxxxx/x
If you can please let me know if this possible and if so the process involved.
Thank you
Regards
Bindi

Hi
You can define different coding masks of different lengths (maximumof 24 characters) for use in different company codes. You define this in the transaction OPSJ .
According to your requirement you may create different coding masks for each company code

Coding Mask Change

Hi All
I m trying to change the digits on my coding mask for the Project ID, but I keep getting the error - CJ611.
I went into the OSS note 453280 but havent been able to find a suitable solution.
Any ideas?
Thanks much
RS

The note on Wiki states that you can only:
1) Change a numeric section to an alpahmumeric section of the same length
2) Extend the coding mask with an alphanumeric section
In the case provided by you, you are trying change the length of the coding mask (there are other voilations as well). You cannot change the coding mask as proposed by you through standard SAP practices. However, a workaround exists (as stated in the note):
1) Run the report ZZADJUSTPOSID of note 453280 to adjust the project and WBS element numbers as much as possible in background. Some dialogue may, however, nevertheless occur.
2) Run the report ZVERSION_UPDATE of note 616732 to adapt the project and WBS element numbers in the project versions involved accordingly.
Please go through these steps, SAP notes and the wiki document (the part about testing this solution first).

Ammar

To Override Project Coding Mask

Dear All,
At present, we have coding mask in system where the Project ID= Company code
For example For ABCD Project ID , coding mask is -XXX-XX-0000-XXXXXXX, and ABCD is also a company code.
The new requirement is to have Project Def such as ABCDP0001234, without any special characters, where ABCD is company code.
How can I override the existing coding mask for creating new Project Def, for say, a new Project profile.
Is there any user exit available for this?
Regards,
Manmay Mallick

hello
What you can do:
1. You can delete all projects and change mask and import them again to system. Of course it means that you need to do a huge project for this with CO/MM/FI/SD consultants. That's a very cost consumable event but ... you will have data as you wish. I am not sure if that is worth it.
2. Simples way but a little longer but low costs.
You need to check 1 checkbox, in transaction OPSK check if you have Edit checkbox checked. If not that means you can create project outside the range of project number defined according to your project mask.
Eg. if you have only 1 mask
ABCD-XXX-XX-0000-XXXXXXX, you create project ABCD-EFG-KK-1234-ASD1234
if Edit checkbox is not checked you can create project eg WD12123332/2233-112-1212 but what is important you mustn't have any validation that check a project number and your new project number range doesn't start with ABCD chars. Check it yourself.
So if you stop using ABCD project mask and start using new coding project range as you almost want
ABCDP0001234 - but one char in ABCD must be change for a period of time you will use
0BCDP0001234 number. In other way the system will check it according to your ABCD mask.
When the time will come and projects with old number will go out and you will have only few of them activelu maintain you will make a decision to migrate the few old projects to new number 0ABC.
After that move you will need to archive old projects and remove them from your database then you can delete a mask ABCD. If you delete this old mask all your projects can be renumerate to your number expectation from 0BCDP0001234 to ABCDP0001234. And you got it
What are the costs of this solution:
1. Organizational decision to use new codings of projects 0BCD for period of time.
2. Prepare a few validation to check the project number if you don't use mask you need to have any mechanizm to verify correctness of your project numbers.
3. Small migration of few old projects to new ones.
4. Archive of old projects.
5. Small LSMW to renumerate 0BCD projects to ABCD projects.
When to do it?
It depends of your organization and the lifecycle of your projects.
Additional info
For a period of time in your old projects you can use Mask ID field in project definition and put there + sign in the place which char schould be used to find WBS element in the system as an alternative way.
Eg.
You have a WBS element ABCD-EFG-KK-1234-ASD1234
on the definition of this project in Mask ID put ++++_+++_++_++++_+++++++ where _ means space. In such a way on you WBS element in the field Short ID you will get ABCDEFGKK1234ASD1234 and this number can be used in reports etc.
Hope this help

How to create a validation for the project coding mask

Hi,
Would just like to ask how to create a validation for the project coding mask wherein the WBS elements hierarchy will be checked against the template saved. For example,
project coding mask is XXXX-XXXXX-XX-X-X-X-00-X
mother WBS should be XXXX-XXXXX-X and lower level WBS would be XXXX-XXXXX-XX.
The validation should not allow a mother WBS to be XXXX-XXXXX-XX.
How can we go about this?

Hi Jacquiline Bersamin,
You can use validation with the combination of the level and the coding mask.
In the validation:
Pre requisite: WBS level = 1
Validation: Prps-posid = prps-posid :1-12:
Message : Error
If required you can give the parameters for your detail error message.
Please let me know if this does not work.
Thanks

Standard (ABAP coding) delivery for SES in CRM 2007?

Hello,
I found the Netweaver functionality "Search Engine Service (SES)" on help.sap.com.
This function sounds great. Documents on SDN (like "https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/21404ae5-0601-0010-0395-a6d917099f1a" and "https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a751a1ec-0a01-0010-f0ba-89e4c5cd0261") tell that this functionality is part of Netweaver ABAP and that there're already ready-to-use implementations for business objects in SAP ERP.
However, we're using CRM and want to extend the search functionalities using SES. I was able to create an index for business object BUS1006 (business partner) and insert some data, search for it, and so on. However, it was necessary to do all the data selection manually.
I found enhancement spot COM_PRODUCT_SE which seems to deal with the product search using SES. I tried with business object BUS1006 where enhancement spot HRHAP00_SES seems to be used - however with no (sample) implementation. When creating/updating an index using report COM_SE_DISPATCHER, the methods of the corresponding BADI implementation are called to retrieve object IDs, attribute names, attribute values and so on. As described before, this seems to be not delivered by SAP standard, thus, we have to do the coding in methods IF_HAP_SES_BUSOBJ_AESGET_ATTRIBUTE_NAME_LIST, IF_HAP_SES_BUSOBJ_AESGET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES, IF_HAP_SES_BUSOBJ_AES~GET_OBJECT_ID_LIST on ourselves?
So my question is: Is the ready-to-use implementation of SES for CRM business objects already contained (and I didn't find it) or will it be part of further shipments?
Many thanks & regards
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,
unfortunately, CRM did not include the SES methods in all their objects.
CRM will focus on enabling their objects on "Embedded Search", which is basically "the next version of SES" that will beavailable for Business Suite 2008 applications. This will then also enable CRM content to be searched through SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search.
Of course you can - in the meantime - attempt your own implementation of SES for CRM objects. Unfortunately, I am not the right guy to further help with coding details for that.
Best, Karsten

DataModeler v3.3.0 - Naming standards template for surrogate keys creation

I'm using DM 3.3.0.734 and in the logical model we now can define in the entity properties to "Create Surrogate Key".
When we use Engineer to relational model, for each entity is automatically created a new column using the naming template {entity}_ID as NUMERIC (without precision) and is defined as primary key.
My questions are:
Is possible to define a different naming standard for surrogate key creation?. We define id_{entiry}
Is possible to set the precision of NUMERIC surrogate key?
If we define entity's column as Primary UID, these columns are included in an unique constraint, but are using the naming standards for PK.
As consequence are created the following:
Unique constraint name: entity_PK
Primary key(surrogate)name: entity_PKv1
There is any way to define naming standards like "{entity}_UID" for unique constraints, or even, "{entity}_SK" for surrogate primary key name?
Can anyone help with some of these topics?
Regards,
Ariel.

Hi Ariel,
Naming standards template for surrogate keys creation I logged enhancement request for that.
How to change those bad names (going to change them one by one is not an option):
1) If those "transformed" unique keys are the only ones you have in relational model then simply can apply naming standards
2) You can write transformation script to do that for you
3) you can use new functionality - search, export to excel file, change the names there (using find/replace will be faster) and return changed data back to relational model
you can find description for that here:
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=44785:24:13179871410726::NO:24:P24_CONTENT_ID,P24_PREV_PAGE:6621,16

http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2012/11/sql-developer-data-modeler-v3-3-early-adopter-collaborative-design-via-excel/
You should search for _PK, then filter result on Index and you can export result using report functionality (to XLS or XLSX output format). You can create template and include only table and name (of index) as properties to be included into report.

Philip

Templates Availability for Standard Reports

There are some seeded templates are available for GL product like 'Trial Balance Detail' report.
Customer wants know if the Oracle is planning to provide the Seeded templates for other Standard reports.
If Yes what are the timelines.
Pl. let me know
Thanks,
V

There are lots of reports - I think 200 in CU2. However, standard reports are provided by the application teams (e.g. Financials), so you will need to ask the Financials teams for what templates they will ship.

Query with standard template workflow for Purshase Requisition.

Hi all
I am fresher in Workflow. I have to configure standard template workflow for Purshase Requisition.
I know the flow how to configure it(through forum only).
I have a development system where all release codes,release strategies are defined.
when i saw the standard workflows through "pftc" tx code,in workflow builder some default rules are defined.
I donno is there any oraganisational structure is defined in my system.
my question are-Is these rules are alternative to Org.structure?
By the help of rules would i configure agent id in Workflow through spro transaction.
I am not able to assign agent id which i am using to right now.how can i do that?
Is i able to do all this once i have defined org. structure.?..
Thanks in advance..

Ashwani,
Since you are new to this forum, i would suggest you to search this forum. You will get a lot of threads related to PR release workflow and even link to documentation. By going through those docs you may understand the whole process. And after that if you face some new challenges you can come back and post a new thread.
Don't forget to search before posting a new thread.
Thanks,
