Define Selection Rules

Hi
can any one explain the Selection rules in Time Management and how we can define them.
Thanks
Sirisha

Hi Sirisha,
If none of these three, which one were you asking ?
The three listed by me:
1.Seletion rule/Variants, I have already explained.
2.Day Type selection rule is defined to set your Pay conditions, wether company want to pay to the employee on particular week day keeping Holiday class on that day in mind.
TM>Work Schedule>Day Type-->Define Seletion rules.
3.Based on Time Quota grouping and a Quota type selection group,
We have to define Selection rule for the particular absence quota.
Which is dependent on Applicablility conditions, accrual period,Base Entitlement,
accrual entitlementand total entitlement etc.
Go to TM>Time data Recording>Managing time accounts using Att/Abs.quotas>Calculating Absence Entitlement>Rules for Generating absence Quotas-->
Define Generation Rules for Quota Type Selection-->Selection rule.
I am sorry if my answer confused you more, as all these three concepts need detailed understanding, before we configure them...
Regards,
Dev

Define selection rule for Day type

Dear Experts
As I want to "Define selection rule" for "day types" in Time Management-> work schedule-> Day types-> define selection rule, the third and 4th columns are default weekdays of SAP, But weekend is different in our system. How can we handle this subject? Can we change these columns to our needs? How?
For example we want to define that friday is not working day in our company and it should be payed, is there any other option?
Thank you all,...

Hi friend,
Check:
Time Management -> Work Schedules -> Period Work Schedules -> Define Period Work Schedules
btw, you should check factory Holiday calendar (Tcode: SCAL) and generate Work schedule for year.
IMG: Time Management -> Work Schedules -> Work Schedule Rules and Work Schedules -> Generate Work Schedules in Batch

How to define Template Selection Rules according to doc language code

hi All,
I am using ucm10g, I need to use DC to convert word to html, by defining Template Selection Rules, it worked perfect.
Question is I have to use different template for different content that use different languages, for example, if a content has a primary file writing in English, that content will be checked in with langCode attribute of "en", and according to this langCode attribute, I will use different template that will show "nextpage" or "previouspage" according to langCode field, other content will use other template that show "nextpage" or "previouspage" in other language.
I donot think the fields used in Template Selection Rules(such as author, type, profile) in ucm10g can be used in this case, any suggestion?
Best regards

I will ask easier.
is it possible to set in RSCUR -> Exchange rate type 'Y' and Exchange rate from InfoObject '0EXRATE_ACC' AND use it in BEx?
If yes, how, if now why?
Thank you

BPL - Define Selection Criteria (Selection Exit)

We are using TDMS 3.0 with following patch level:
DMIS             2006_1_700     0010
DMIS_CNT     2006_1_700     0010
DMIS_EXT     2007_1_700     0000
We have a scenario where we want to transfer all sales transactions of particular plant in target system. We have selected package BPL scenario in TDMS with business context sales document.
Under 'Define selection criteria' activity, we are getting only sales Document number as a filter criteria. We can extend the filter criteria to any column of table VBAK, but not any of the dependent tables (Like VBAP - containing plant)
The operation guide shows an example of selection criteria for materials, filtering by the start table (MARA-MATNR) and at the same time by a dependent table (MARC-WERKS). I want to apply the same logic to tables VBAK & VBAP. There are two problems in my way:
1. As per operation guide, when you execute 'Define Selection Criteria', we should see three tab pages. 'Selections', 'Selection criteria' & 'Tables'. But I can see only two in my system i.e 'Selection criteria' & 'Tables'. There is no 'Selection' tab page in my system.
2. Referring to forum Re: BPL: Filtering depending tables , we can use 'Selection Exit'. But can anybody guide me how that can be implemented and attached to the filter / process?
Thanks & Regards,
Audy.

Hi again.
Forum rules do not allow more than one question in the same thread, but anyway...
TDMS BPL works by direct inserts in the database, so functional dependencies are not checked. This means that in VA01 you cannot create a sales order for a customer that does not exist but with BPL you can, though later of course you'll have problems when checking the sales order in VA03 (this is just an example: in practice the sales order context by default also includes the relevant customers). Unlike archiving, where you cannot delete a customer if sales orders for that customer still exist, in TDMS there are no such checks. This means there is really no sequence: in the end everything will be there.
The direct inserts also mean that document numbers are kept the same, so existing objects with the same number are overwritten; check if that is a problem for you.
About the last part of your question: first, don't forget that BPL does not include customizing, so make sure it is already there; second, BPL contexts are designed to include most tables related to a business process, but as you know R/3's data model is quite complex. After the copy you might realize that for your specific process maybe some tables were not considered. In that case I suggest you complain via OSS so that the context can be improved and we all profit.. ;). You must also be careful if you have Z tables that must be added to the context.

BPM Admin Define Substitution Rule

Hello experts,
I wonder if there is a way to define substitution rules on behalf of someone in BPM.
One of our managers went to holiday without define rule and i have to nominate user for every task for him.
Thank you everyone.

Hi,
You cannot define substitution rule on behalf of someone. If the task is assigned to a role, it can be accessed by other users in the role. You can add additional owners by following the below procedure, but you have to do at each task level.
- Log on to the SAP NetWeaver Administrator application
- Operation Management -> Processes and Tasks -> Manage Tasks
- Search for the task based on available options and open the task.
- Select the Owners Tab -> you can see the owners responsible/processors for the task -> Select on Nominate Owner button and assign new user.
You can perform the similar search from the Process Repository also.
Thanks

I had defined Alert category in Tcode:ALRTCATDEF. Add the Recepient
Then I log on to RWB and choose *Alert configuration*
I was trying to define Alert Rule, I had Given Description, selected Alert Category, But Add Rule and Change Rule Is Disabled. How to define the Rules.
One more thing is, Under Conditions, We have option as Connected to Message, If I select Yes or No, I get error page saying " Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible"
When I checked the same In ST22, I found "OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED"
Do I need to Configure anything else.
I am finding Difficult in Defining Alert Rules. Any Help would be Appreciated.

Where can i define a rule for copying ATP results to purchasing?

Hello Gurus,
Where can i define a rule for copying ATP results to purchasing? i read from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/43/543835bc0f357ee10000000a11466f/content.htm that we can define this rule.
Thanks

Hello,
i defined that part before, what i would like to define is below:
Thanks
● Rule for availability check
Define a rule for copying ATP results to purchasing.
This rule controls how the system behaves in material shortage situations, and how the delivery proposal (confirmation proposal) is displayed.
You can control the following factors in Customizing:
○ Display of results
You define how the system copies results of the availability check to the stock transfer document. In other words, you define how the delivery proposal is displayed in the delivery schedule line view.
You can choose between the following rules:
■ One-time delivery (rescheduling: delivery proposal) <blank>
This setting corresponds to the system behavior up to and including SAP ERP Central Component, Release 5.0.
■ One-time delivery A
■ Complete delivery B
■ Delivery proposal C
■ Selection window for material shortage (batch: one-time delivery) D
■ Selection window for material shortage (batch: delivery proposal) E
■ Selection window for material shortage (batch: complete delivery) U

babu.A

Hi Babu,
According to the rule 01, on Weekdays, if it is working day or Half day (b or 2 ) it will be Work and paid...And if it is weekday and any other holiday class, it will be Work off and Paid including 1 & 3 to 9.
As I don't see any difference in other rules, same is applicable to all.
I understand that last rule 01 is not possible as it will not allow the entry with same Rule name/number.
Now, we need to define these selection rules, if we want to distinguish between certain Group of employees, by paying / not paying them in case of Holiday.
Reward the suitable points if you find helpful and close the thread, if you understand that you got the answer of your query...

Product costing error while defining posting rules

Hi Friends,
When I'm trying to define posting rules for settling WIP using OKG8,
I get an error msg "GL account 7000100 cannot be created as a cost element" and the aforesaid account is WIP (P&L account).
The long text of the error msg is as follows:
G/L account 7000100 cannot be created as a cost element
Message no. KQ119
Diagnosis
When maintaining the posting rules for passing on results analysis data to Financial Accounting, you entered a G/L account that is defined as a primary cost element in cost and revenue element accounting. This is not allowed. You must enter a G/L account in the posting rules that is not defined as a cost element.
System Response
The entry invalid.
Procedure
You have the following options:
Enter a G/L account for which no cost element is specified in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting.
You can change the message type with user-defined error management (transaction OPR4_KKA). What should be observed when you enter a G/L account in a posting rule that is defined as a primary cost element in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting? You need to define a CO account assignment so that the posting defined in the posting rule can be executed. You do this with transaction OKB9 (default account assignment) or OKC9 (substitution), or using the default account assignment in the cost element master.
Could anyone suggest me on this.
The steps that I've already defined as far as the account are concerned:
1. Have defined the aforesaid account as a cost element
2. Assigned Prodn. C CTR in OKB9 agnst the same.
But then I dont understand why the system pops up this msg, saying, cannot be created as a cost element, wherein the account is already a cost element.
Plz suggest
regards
sandhya

Hiya,
WIP accounts (neither Inventory nor Offset) should NEVER be created as Cost Elements.
In most manufacturing scenarios, costs are tracked on the P&L. During period-end, since there is the risk of writing off some issues to the Production/Process/Sales Order, SAP has introduced the complex but ingenious system called Results Analysis that moves the balance of all open Orders to the Balance Sheet.
If the Order balance is (+)ve, the P&L is credited and the Balance Sheet is debited and vice versa. When you display the Order costs at period-end, the WIP costs are not considered. In order to calculate WIP, we have separate RA GL accounts that track costs independently of the Orders. Therefore, these are never created as Cost Elements. Creating these as Cost Elements would force the system to inadvertently post the WIP costs back on the Order (alongwith posting these to the B/S??? - an unimaginable situation).
At period-end, you have postings like:
Dr WIP Inventory Account
Cr WIP Offset Account
and, this is reversed at settlement:
Cr WIP Offset Account
Dr WIP Inventory Account
Along with this, the system calculates the Actual COS for the finished product. Neither of the two WIP accounts used above is created as a Cost Element. If you have created any of these as Cost Elements, the system will not allow you to save OKG8. Delete the Cost Element and then try saving the posting rule.
(PS: The "Cost Element" field in this screen has a different use. It is used to specify if a Secondary Cost Element from the RA Update table should be posted to a G/L Account. This is not meant for Primary Cost Elements. I think these Secondary CEs are of type 31 (requires confirmation - no SAP access right now). As you may have guessed, you can only enter either the RA Category or this Secondary CE).
You may also delete the OKB9 assignment to the Cost Centre. It is redundant.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Use of Selection Rule in Report Writer.

Hello Everybody,
I am trying to make use of selection rule in report writer. We have a mixed chart of accounts using both IFRS and USGAAP account. Distinction between USGAAP and IFRS is based on certain value in gl account master data. Using report writer rule I wish to exclude IFRS account for a specfic report.
For example
REPORT = X = Rule to restrict selection to only USGAAP account
REPORT = Y = Rule to restrict selection to only IFRS account.
I have created a rule and tried to build user-exit around it. However during the callup of the selection rule no values are transferred to user-exit and therefore the ABAP consultant is not able to write any specific code.
Request your inputs on usage of selection rules in report writer.
Regards
Jayesh.

Hi Jayesh,

Problem with user defined selection-screens

Hi,
in my case, i have a default selection screen and a user defined selection screen. Now, after selecting a radio button in default selection screen, the user defined selection screen is called. after executing it report output is displayed. now if i press f3 (back) it is going to default selection screen. here my requirement is, when i press f3 it should go to the user defined selection.
Can u plz help me solve this.
bye n regards
sree

Any modifications to screen 1000 will be lost the next time the program is generated.
When the user hits the back key from the report output, your ABAP is restarted just like when you originally started it. That is why you are getting the default selection screen again.
Use the AT USER-COMMAND event. When BACK is hit from the report, use the SUBMIT command to re-execute the program, passing it the selections from the default selection screen. Leave out the RETURN option.
For help on filling the selection screen during SUBMIT, help is available at

User Exit to add user-defined selection critieria onto VL10G

Does anyone know how to add user-defined selection criteria onto VL10G - Sales and purchase order display screen? OSS note 524424 states the userexit to transfer user-defined selection criteria from the selection screen to the report but no information on how to add the selection criteria on the screen. Is that something can be done through configuration or user-exit?
Any advice or sample is greatly appreciated.

I was in a hurry, I forgot to add, the user role specific selection screen assignment to VL10G is done at "delivery scenario" level
The delivery scenarios that are predefined in the system can be found under Logistics Execution -> Outbound Process -> Goods Issue for Outbound Delivery -> Outbound Delivery -> Create -> Collective Processing of Documents for Shipment.
You can make the following settings in a delivery scenario:
Selection screen
You can use the selection screen parameters to define the appearance of the selection screen used to select the delivery list.
There are three combinations of selection parameters available that each include a different number of tabs.
A long selection screen with no tabs
A selection screen with three tabs
A selection screen with six tabs
The selection criteria is the same on all three screens in the standard system, it is simply arranged differently.
This parameter also triggers scheduling of the report for processing the delivery list, with the same three available tab options.
Customer enhancements are also possible in the LV50R_PREFZ1 program, which should be triggered from a delivery scenario.
User role
In the standard system, a predefined user role is assigned to each delivery scenario. If necessary, you can copy these user roles into your own user roles, make changes as required, and then assign them to a delivery scenario of your choice.
If the user role assignment for a delivery scenario is changed in Customizing, the new settings are valid for all users that carry out this delivery scenario.

Problem with ALV and user defined selection screen. please help!

Hi Experts,
I have program which has a user defined selection screen 9001. On executing the selection screen i call a ALV using resuse_alv_grid function module.
What problem I am facing is that when I press back button from ALV page it goes to the se38 editor instead of selection screen.
How to resolve this?
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
This might be due to LEAVE TO TRANSACTION statement. You might be running the program from SE38. Try to run the program using Z-TCode assigned to it.
Thanks and Regards,
