Delegation function in E-Sourcing

Does anyone know whether E-Sourcing has a delegation function? If the approval is on leave, he can assign others to approve on his behalf? Or when someone is on leave, the administrator can help to put in on behalf for the approver? This function is available in SRM. How about in E-Sourcing? If this function is not available do anyone know whether you can write script to program that to happen?

Hi Lisa,
You have two options for delegating an approver. There are many other ways this can be done but with the information provided these are the two most likely choices..
1. The E-Sourcing/ CLM system can allow users with System Administration access to login as a another user and approve on their behalf. When the workflow is approved or rejected the system logs both user ids.
2. Do a Group Approval where only one member of the group has to approve. Include the original approver and their delegated resource in the group.
Regards,
James
Approval Options in E-Sourcing/ CLM are the following:
Single User Approval
Group Approval where only one group member needs to approve
Group Approval where all group members need to approve
You can have multiple levels of approval. So for each phase of the approval process you can have an additional set or sets of approvers. In theory infinite number of approval phases and infinite number of approval steps in each phase. In practice we usually see 4-8 contract phases with 2-4 being approval phases and each approval phase has 1-3 approvers. But keep in mind every process is different.
Approvals based on value matrixes, contract values, Business Units, auto approval Etc. are possible.
Because the workflows are XPDL scripting and java based there is a high level of flexibility in how we select the approver change phases, validate document meta data, force loading of pdf contracts, etc..

Delegation functionality within OSA ?

Hi,
Is there a delegation function within OSA (appraisal), to allow someone to do some or most of the data entry on behalf of the actual part appraiser ? How can this be achieved ?
Thank you.
Regards
Kir Chern

Hi,
How about roles? You could give part appraiser roles to the data entry person.
Cheers,

Using Concat function - in Excel Source

Hi,
I am using an Excel file as a source and oracle table as a target.
In the Excel file i need to concatenate two columns and map it to the target oracle column based on a condition.
I used the concat function in Expression Editor, but its throwing an error 'Undefined expression' as our source is not a oracle.
What should i do to execute the excel function in ODI?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Probably, you have mistake in Excell syntax, try to concutenate columns by Oracle (set 'target' radiobutton in mapping and use '||') and we will see...

Crystal Reports for VS2010 using a custom SAP ABAP function module data source

I recently worked with Crystal Reports 2011 and was able to connect and retrieve data from our R/3 system via an ABAP function module. While researching other features, I found this version that can be installed into Visual Studio 2010. The parameters are not very user friendly in Crystal Reports so I was hoping to create a custom dialog to collect my report parameters.
Does anyone know if I were to install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010, would I be able to design a front-end selection screen in a Visual Basic form and then pass the input to through the Crystal Reports connection to my ABAP function module to retrieve the data filtered on the back-end by the selection screen parameters and return the results to be reported in the Crystal Reports output?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional Visual Basic with the .NET Framework 4.0 on 32-bit Windows 7. I was able to connect to our R/3 system in Crystal Reports 2011, so if I were to install Crystal Reports for VS2010, would there be a similar way of connecting to SAP?
Any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hello Bryan
I don't know for sure, but I doubt this will work in CRVS2010. Only hope is that the utility available for download in this KBA will point you in the right direction.

Transformation: Need for calling a custom function module on source system

Hi Gurus,
I need to use a custom FM residing on source system within the transformation to determine the type (e.g. posting type) of a document item. The logic is quite complex with many exceptions (many if statements) and 2 customizing & few transparent tables are in use as well in the FM.
From my point of view, there are few options for achieving the outcome:
1. Copy the FM logic 1:1 in transformation
2. Transport the FM from ERP to BW system
3. Source system delivers the info (e.g. with an extra field "posting_type")
4. Access the FM directly via RFC/BAPI
However, there are pros and cons for each of the alternatives:
*Option 1*
pros:
cons: consistency problem, need for importing customizing tables & source tables, high maintenance effort
*Option 2*
pros: better consistency compared to Option 1
cons: need for importing tables, administrative efforts
*Option 3*
pros: no logic is needed at BW side, no transformations means no impact on performance, high consistency, no administrative effort
cons: structure in source system has to be changed, impact on historical records
*Option 4*
pros: best consistency (better than Option 3 as FM might change), no administrative effort
cons: impact on performance during transformation
Could you please verify my assumptions and give suggestions on solving the problem?
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Meng

Hi Joon,
According to me.
If Historical data amount is so high, historical data is available in BW(at PSA level or acquisition layer or corporate memory layer) and headache to load history data(because of overload on ECC due to huge amount of data) from ECC then I will suggest combination of 3 and 4 steps.
If fetching history data from ECC is not headache for you then go for step 3.
Step 3 is most common approach in BW, which is easy for implementation and support.

Ashish

Can't use SecKeyRef and similar functions, when "Compile sources as" is set to "Objective c "

Hi, need to access SecKeyRef funcion and some other similar ones, but i can't access them, when my compiler option "Compile sources as" is set to "Objective c++". When it is set to "According to a file type", i dont get any errors with those funcions, but my old code starts to get errors. What should i do? I have tryed everything and still no luck...
I'm using xcode 4,6 and app is for iOS6.

I got my problem fixed. I was getting errors, with some failas that were importing <cmath><limits> etc. I renamed their extensions to .mm and set compile sources as to "According to a file type".
Now wait a second. So if my apps target is iOS6.1 , apple will no longer accept my app? I didn't heard nothing about it...

Functionality of Data Source

Hi all,
I have three views in R/3, now am planning to create three different Data Sources(TD). Here my questions
1. Can we club all these three into one Data Source?
2. If not while creating three diff update rules for ODS.. i will get double records .. how can i ignore the duplicate records? becoz same feilds may come
Regards
Siri.

For this there should be a clear picture on what are the fields involved in all the views.
Anyways a generel case would be,
All the Views contain the Key Part of the ODS.
>>For Eg: View 1 has fields A, B, C, D.
>> View 2 has fields A, B, E, F.
>> View 3 has fields A, B, G, H.
>> A, B forms the Key Part of the ODS.
>> C, D, E, F, G, H forms the data part of the ODS.
Then your update rules will be like:
A, B, C, D of Data source 1 to A, B, C, D of ODS.
A, B, E, F of Data source 2 to A, B, E, F of ODS.
A, B, G, H of Data source 3 to A, B, G, H of ODS.
Hope I am clear.

Neel.

Dendrogram built-in JAVA function? Open-source?

Hello,
I have been searching the internet for a way to use dendrograms with data that I have generated. A dendrogram looks like this: http://www-csli.stanford.edu/~schuetze/dendrogram.html
And supposidly there is a class in JAVA to do dendrograms. I was wondering if anyone could give me a little more insight into how this is done.
http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~chalubert/ddraw/DDrawDoc/ddraw/Dendrogram.html
Thanx.

Possibly Antoine Chalubert could. But why not download the package and try it out for yourself?

Report based on function returning query

Hi all,
I created a function FCT_1 in a package PKG, here is an exemple :
function FCT_1(te in number) return varchar2
is
q varchar2(4000);
begin
if te = '1' then
q := 'Select * from Clientele';
else
q := 'Select * from Compagnie';
end if;
return q;
end;
And I call this function the region source of my report like this :
Declare
q varchar2(4000);
Begin
q:=PKG.FCT_1(:P2_Nb); -- P2_Nb = 1 or 2
return q ;
end;
But I got this error :
report error:
ORA-01403: no data found
I need your help.

I got it,
I just use the Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only) option.
I don't know why do I have to do it.
Thanks

I am running Application Express 4.2.2.00.11 on GlassFish 4 using Apex Listener 2.0.3.221.10.13.

My region source is as follows:

This code is in a library, so I create a "hello world" to demonstrate the issue. I will post it at the end. This .net 4 framework and it's been around for a while in our code. We are starting to upgrade from XP to Win 7. Basically event log sizes

Oh, and the Win 7 boxes are 64 bit. I wonder if the win 7 32 bit would have the same issue? Can others duplicate it? The tmpsize seems to be different numbers, but if you play with it, you can get it down to number x works and (x+1) does not.

Run the same code on an XP 64 bit box and it works? XP comes in multiple flavors.
Perhaps you should compile to x86 CPU and see if it works on Win 7 64 bit. Win 7 comes in 32 and 64 bit also.
On the other hand Win 7 service pack 1 mainstream support ended on the 13th of this month. Extended support ends in 2020 supposedly. Perhaps you should upgrade to Win 8.1 instead. Win 10 is coming soon enough.

Function "DDIF_NAMETAB_GET"

Hi,
I am reading a database table's attributed using DDIF_NAMETAB_GET function. My code is:
DATA: IO_TABLE_NAME TYPE tabname,
it_dfies TYPE TABLE OF dfies,
is_dfies TYPE dfies.
DATA: is_x030l TYPE x030l.
*IO_TABLE_NAME is getting from user
CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_NAMETAB_GET'
           EXPORTING
                tabname   = IO_TABLE_NAME
           IMPORTING
                x030l_wa = is_x030l
           TABLES
                dfies_tab = it_dfies
           EXCEPTIONS
                OTHERS    = 1.
LOOP AT it_dfies INTO is_dfies.
ENDLOOP.
Above, When I watching the is_dfies, there are some informations as:
"ZCALISAN      ID      0002000004     AKCNT"
I know that ZCALISAN is the name of database table, ID is the attribute of this table, AKCNT is the field type of this attribute.
Now,
1. I don't know 0002000004 mean? Or how to interpret this value?
2. I want to learn this table's primary key(s). But the table "it_dfies" includes only attribute information. How can I read primary keys? Is it possible to read primary keys using FUNCTION 'DDIF_NAMETAB_GET'?
3. I want to see the field type AKCNT or another field type's Data Type. Is it char? If char what is long? Or is it Decimal? How can I do this operation?
4. The purpose of all of these operations copying one database table. For this purpose, I will read table's information then using EXEC SQL I will create the copied table. Using EXEC SQL can I define DECIMAL like in SAP, or all other types like in SAP? Is there any restriction?

Hi,
There are two problems that I need to solve:
1. In my program I want SRC_TABL and TGT_TABL from user. Then when I called Function 'RS_DD_COPY_OBJ'
CALL FUNCTION 'RS_DD_COPY_OBJ'
EXPORTING
    SOURCE_NAME              = SRC_TABL
    TARGET_NAME              = TGT_TABL
    OBJTYPE                  = OBJECT_TYPE
EXCEPTIONS
    NOT_EXECUTED             = 1
    PERMISSION_FAILURE       = 2
    OTHERS                   = 3.
This function has another screen that wants Source Table and Target Table. If user enters Source Table and/or Target Table different from at the beginnig of the program that user entered, I need to learn what user entered. Because, I also need to activate copied table. And also, I will copy all entries of Source Table to Target Table. Because of these, I need to learn what user entered for table names while FUNCTION 'RS_DD_COPY_OBJ' is running
2. As I mentioned above, I need to copy the source table's entries to target table. But source table's and target table's names are defined by user. So, I can not write this:
SELECT * FROM SOURCE_TABLE INTO TABLE ITAB.
INSERT DEST_TABLE FROM TABLE ITAB.
Program gives error about SOURCE_TABLE and DEST_TABLE.
Also, I can not define ITAB because of I do not know which table I will use before starting program.
How can I implement this copy operation? Is there any way? Is there any function that copies source table's entries to target table?
Thanks.

Using a function in a Cursor Definiftion

Hi all,
my problem is to define a curson inside a package, using a function already defined in the function.
My source code is the folowing:
PROCEDURE TEST
IS
CURSOR cursor_test IS
SELECT ID_CUSTOMER
FROM CUSTOMER
WHERE START_VALIDITY_DATE > GET_DATE(DATE_NEW_CUSTOMER, DATE_EXPIRED);
BEGIN

The function Get_date ( a date,b date) is defined in the same package where it is collocated my procedure "Test". The function called "Get date" return a date.
When I compile, I have an error and I don't understand why.
Thank'you in advance

PL/SQL-procedure is geslaagd.Once you declare your function in your package specification as well, you can use your function in your procedure.

Material price change with variable G/L account - which function module?

Hi,
do you know a function module which allows to change the material price (S or V) and accepts a cost center for the price variances that is not the one from customizing?

Hi Tony.
I feel that you are in extended classic scenario.
For the "extended classic scenario" with services you must consider the following corrections in the R/3 system as of Release 40.
1) Three new function modules
2) Source code corrections in R/3 System
-> account assignment category in R/3 system can be changed for EBP
These information are from one SAP note.
Note 431954 - Extended classic scenario (services): Changes in R/3.
