Dependent Characteristic specs in routing

Hello all,
Some of our materials are subjected for in-process inspection.
The lower, upper and target values differs for the different customers.
I know the procedure of dependent characteristic specs and I am using that in inspection plan already.
But in case of routing while material ssignment I am not getting customer field which usually I get in inspection plan.
Now without that I can't go for dependent characteristic specs.
How to overcome this?
Mimiri

Routings do not support customer specific values in QM.
If you create different specs for the same material, you need to create multiple routings. There are no fields to indicate the customer in routings.
I don't know what business you are in. Have you considered variant config?

Dependent characteristic specifications

We maintain dependent characteristic specifications based on material, plant, and vendor for an inspection plan. Each time a new entry is created, the SAP assigned dependent characteristic specs. number (PLMW-ZUORDNR) is incremented by 10. So the first entry was assigned 10, second entry assigned 20 & so on. We are currently at 6810.
The PLMW-ZUORDNR field length = 4, so I am wondering if there is a limit on the number of dep. char. entries we can create? If so, how do other companies handle this?
I have tried to find a setting in configuration to change the increment from 10 to 1, but was unsuccessful.

Angela,
I've worked with Multiple specs before and implemented them at one client but I haven't had a chance to talk with anyone else that has. I'd be interested in finding out more about the issues you ran into and the problems you have had to resolve. I'd like to know if they were similar to mine or not. Right now I'm not the biggest fan of multiple specs the way SAP implemented them. I'm wondering about other peoples thoughts on the subject. With over 680 specs in a plan you must have some experience with them!!!!
Would you be willing to discuss them with me some time?
Thanks,
Craig

Dependent characteristic Updation using QP02

Hi ,
Could you please help me regarding updation of dependent characteristics in the transaction QP02.
My requirement is i will give the plant and group and material no in the first screen and i select the first entry and i will click inspection characteristics in the appl tool bar and then i will select master inspection characteristics and i have to press dependent characteristics update
to update
diameter,unit of measurment.... based on material assignment. CAn i use any BAPI for this?
I am using 'bapi_inspectionplan_create ' but it is not update.
If i am using BDC program I am facing problem with selection of line item in inspection charcterisitic based Material Inspection characteristic and
In the Dependent characteristic i am updating based on Customer Number .But how i can select the particular line item based on customer number.
If you anybody know the solution please help to me .

How to create a time dependent characteristic

Hi,
Can someone give me steps to create time dependent characteristic? there is a tab for attributes to make them time dependent. I don't know whether we can make the characteristic as time dependent or only the attribute.
Thanks,
Sam

What makes a IO a time dependent char?
The attribute values of the IO change according to the time. meaning atleast one attribute value has to(supposed to) change during the course. So to make a IO time dependent, atleast one of ur attribute values should be time dependent.
IO - change _ attributes - 4th column - time dependent - check that box. that would generate - MasDataTab. timDep - SIDTab timeDepAttr(tables)
simple saying in real time - cost center ABC's manager is XYZ from 06/19/2007 to 06/19/2008. So the manager (attribute of costcenter) has to be time dependent.
Hope that makes it understandable. In essence the costcenter itself never changes but the attribute values do change.

Function to update dependent characteristic in QP02

Hello,
Is there any function or BAPI which updates dependent characteristic in QP02. I looked for some BAPIs but those are called for QP01 not for QP02.
I think this functionality is not possible through BDC also (Please correct if i am wrong).
Any help will be appreciated.

Time dependent characteristic

Hi,
In our query we have time dependent characteristic "Employee last name".
Our user wants to generate query on the employee list who was changed their last names. Here different employees has been changed their last name in different times.
Please specify in detail that how to define the query.
Regards
Sunil

if its a one time query then open the master data view in se16 and download employee / from date / to date / last name
download it to excel and analyze it.
If this is not a one time query.. then you have to build a way to save this in a ODS and make a query on it.
its not possible to go across time in a regular report as the key date takes only 1 date at a time.
Award points if you find it useful.

How to Display Time-Dependent Characteristic Data In Query

Hi Experts,
   I have encountered a problem. I want to use Time-Dependent Chart. And want to display different value according characteristc's valid from time. For Example,
The Characteristic 0COSTCENTER has the navigation attribute 0COMPANY, The data as:
0COSTCENTER   Valid from   Valid To       0COMPANY
BW2305              20070101   20070430     A
BW2305              20070501   99991231     B
I want the report can display as :
0COSTCENTER   Valid from   Valid To       0COMPANY AMOUNT
BW2305              20070101   20070430     A                  1000
BW2305              20070501   99991231     B                  2000
But when I set the query's key date 20070420, the report display as:
0COSTCENTER   Valid from   Valid To       0COMPANY AMOUNT
BW2305              20070101   20070430     A                  1000
BW2305              20070501   99991231     A                  2000
when I set the query's key date 20070520, the report display as:
0COSTCENTER   Valid from   Valid To       0COMPANY AMOUNT
BW2305              20070101   20070430     B                 1000
BW2305              20070501   99991231     B                  2000
Can anybody tell me how I can get report expected.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1) Add the characterstics 0COSTCENTER ,0DATETO,DATEFROM and 0COMPANY to the cube.
2) And also add these 4 IOs to the Communication structures which has update rules with the concern cube.
3) I hope , you already have 0COSTCENTER in the Commnication structure and mapping for that infoobject at both Update rules and Transfer rules.
4) Leave to the Blank(no mapping) mappings for the IOs 0DATETO,DATEFROM and 0COMPANY in the Transfer rules.But make 1:1 mapping in the Update rules for these 2 infoobjects.
5) Write the below code in the strt routine of the Update rules:
TYPES: BEGIN OF type4.
      include structure like /BI0/QCOSTCENTER.
TYPES END OF type4.
DATA:
ITAB4 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TYPE4
       WITH HEADER LINE
       WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 0.
SELECT * FROM /BI0/QCOSTCENTER INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS
OF TABLE ITAB4
WHERE OBJVERS = 'A'.
loop at DATA_PACKAGE.
     READ TABLE ITAB4 WITH KEY COSTCENTER = DATA_PACKAGE-MATERIAL
DATETO LE DATA_PACKAGE-PSTNG_DATE
DATEFROM GE DATA_PACKAGE-PSTNG_DATE.
              IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
                DATA_PACKAGE-DATETO = ITAB4-DATETO.
                DATA_PACKAGE-DATEFROM = ITAB4-DATEFROM.
                DATA_PACKAGE-COMP_CODE = ITAB4-COMP_CODE.
              ENDIF.
              Modify DATA_PACKAGE.
endloop.
ABORT = 0.
Here I assumed you have Posting date in the Communication structure and used to map to Fiscalperiod of the cube.
6) Do the Master data upload to Cost center and active the master data of it always before uploading the data to cube.
7) Do the uploading to cube from Sratch.

Display Time-Dependent Characteristic in 2different date columns (HR-data)

Hello.
I want to create a specific Query on a Self-defined HR-HeadCount cube. On this Cube I have Employee-number + characteristic values per month (e.g. PayScaleArea). Month is my most granular level.
The Query I want is the following :
     04.2006     05.2006
Employee/PayScaleArea
20184     5B     6
20230     3     4
20295     6A     6B
(5B, 6, ... are PayScaleArea's e.g. 5B is Manager)
I have already filtered on the Employees who got a promotion between 04.2006 and 05.2006 (=Month.Year). And now I whish to see the PayScaleArea listed of these Employees under 2 column headers April+May .
If this was a keyfigure this would be standard but for a characteristic I can't get it to work. I've already tried working with formulas (replacement path)
The problem is that it always displays like this :
              PayScaleArea
                  3     4    5B    6    6A    6B
Employee
20184
20230
20295
(which is realy bad)
Or
Employee/CalMonth/PayScaleArea
20184     04.2006 5B
20184     05.2006 6
20230     04.2006 3
20230     05.2006 4
20295     04.2006 6A
20295     05.2006 6B
(this is correct, but not verry readable, having it in 2 columns makes it easier to compare who promoted to what)
Note: I have PayScaleArea directly in the Cube and also as time-dependent attribute on Employee => the attribute has the problem that I can only report on one key-date per query (which is specified on the header of the query) so combining multiple queries in a workbook would also be a (less desired) workaround.
Can you help me ?
Kind Regards, Carl.

Hello,
I'm affraid you do not understand my question. You mention here one of the two 'workable' solutions (the other one being 2queries on different tabs each for a different month and then combining the 2queries on a third tab)
The report layout does not look good in this txt format so I will split it up using my original example:
The Query I want has three columns :
1) Employee
e.g. :
20184
20230
20295
2) The PayScaleArea's of Month -1 (e.g. : 04.2006)
e.g. :
5B
6
6A
3) The PayScaleArea's of current Month (e.g. : 05.2006)
e.g. :
6
4
6B
If PayScaleArea would be a keyfigure then I could just put Employee in my rows and month + PayScaleArea in the columns and it would work perfect... but it is a characteristic and therefore it does not show up next to the employee in this case.
In a sense this is logically since BW does not know that there is only one characteristic value PayScaleArea per month and per employee.

Dependency, Characteristic open depending on another field

Hi All,
We are working with a scenario where we willl use some characteristics and dependencies.
We have been able to fill out values in one characteristic depending on another value.
But we would also like to switch a characterstic from Display to Open if a specific value is given to another characteristic.
Does anyone know how this should be written or where i can find documentation about how to this.
Thanks in Advance!

Mikael ,
I am not agree with Bramhaji ,
its seems with this syntex,
$Self.REF_CHAR = 'CHAR2' if CHAR1 in ('A','B','D'),
$Self.REF_CHAR = 'CHAR3' if CHAR1 in ('A','B','D')
value from CHAR 2and 3 will be copied to Rferance characretrstic as values , but it will not hide them.
forgive me if i am wrong,
I think using precondtion can also help you out.
create a dependency with type precondition
syntax could be $self.CHAR1 = "c"
so now , CHAR 2 qand CHAR 3 will be visible only when CHAR1 have value C
when CHAR1 will haver value A , B or D this CHAR 2 and CHAR 3 will be not visible and user cant assign value to it.
and assign this dependency to charactertsic CHAR 2 and CHAR 3 in class of type 300.
you can also check sap help for same.

Is there existing open Java APIs for time dependent ShortestPath function or routing on NDM Model?

According to slides here (Page #44-46), there should be some API for that purpose.
But when I focus on that sample and the open API provided here , I cannot find such function that realize it.
Could someone briefly describe the time dependent SP APIs for that purpose?
Thank you.

Inspection Plan specs for Vendors / Customers

Hello every one,
In my current client I had to maintain customer wise Quality specifications for each material. i.e. my quality parameters change for each customer / vendor. So how do I map the same? I heard we can use dependent characteristics specs. But I am not able to assign the vendor or customer here. Is there any specific configuration required for the same? If not, do tell me the step by step process to assign the same.
Sincerely,
Aji

Dual-DMVPN Design with Dual Hubs on a single router ??

Hi All,
In DMVPN, in Dual-DMVPN Design with Dual Hubs , can a single router perform the role of dual hubs.
The router has two different internet links. It is intended that when one link goes down, spokes shud connect to the same router onto the other active internet connection. Is this possible ?

Since no one has answered yet, I'll give you the practical answer.
You'll have issues with IPSec and static routing. "DMVPN" itself probably wouldn't have an issue, but it would depend on IPSec and routing to work.
It is easier, by far, to put in a second router. And when you factor in your time to try to make it work (and it may not work), the second router is less expensive.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus connection to Router

I have an 8600 Pro which has the famous loss of connection problem with the computers in our house (Scan to Computer is currently unavailable, etc.). My understanding is that this happens because the printer loses it's wireless connection with the network briefly or something along those lines.
Since the printer sits next to the wireless router, I hoped I could solve the problem by simply connecting the printer to the router with an ethernet cable. That way it would seem that the printer would never lose connection with the network/router, right?
My question is, can I setup the printer in this way and if so, do I need to turn off the wireless connection on the printer? How will the computers in my house see the printer when it is connected to the router in this way? Any guidance/advice on this kind of setup is appreciated.
Thanks.

@mitchellkp,
This will largely depend on your wireless router more than the printer itself. The printer can only have one network connection at any time (wired or wireless). However, most routers bridge wired and wireless devices so that they can communicate with each other regardless of how they are connected to the network. Some routers do have wireless isolation enabled (may be worded differently from router to router). If wireless isolation is enabled, then each wireless device is isolated from other devices and this would prevent wired and wireless devices from communication. Having wireless isolation enabled by default is not very common. Most routers will allow wired and wireless devices to communicate with each other freely out of the box.
My router was originally closer to my printer and I used an Ethernet connection on the printer. My wired and wireless devices communicated with the printer just fine. I then got a new ISP and had to relocate my router away from the printer which I used wifi at that point. My wired and wireless devices worked just fine with the printer.

Can i setup a wifi router with my IPad2 without using a computer ?

Can i setup a wifi router with my IPad2 without using a computer ?

This is going to depend on what wireless router got get. Some want to do all administration functions via a ethernet cable connection for security reasons.
Once the router is configured, you will no longer need a computer.
Try looking for a router that configures through a web browser & allows administration from a wifi connections.
I think the easiest thing will be to have a friend come over & configure with a laptop. I believe that you can configure the router without have a broadband connection. You could configure it at a friends house. Might not want to connect to the friends broadband so not to confuse your friends broadband. ( this is only a worry if the router also includes the broadband model. Just a wireless router without a modem is not worry ).
