Derived PC vs dummy PC vs partner PC in new GL

Hi friends,
I am confused about the use of derived PC vs dummy PC vs partner PC in new GL.
I have activated document splitting and activated pc zero bal to draw B/S.
But I dont know, should we use any derived PC or dummy PC.
what is partner PC? how can I use it? what settings I need to do it?
Plz advise.
I want to draw P&L, B/S, ROI also.

Hi
The idea of having Dummy profit center is to enable posting to this, wherever no profit center entry is possible at the entry level or wherever no profit center is updated in the CO objects.
So locking or deleting the Dummy Profit center is not possible / advisable.

Change dummy profit center to original in New GL Concept

Hello experts
We have implemented New GL Concept in ECC6.0. However, some of the documents posted into various GL accounts had gone to Dummy profit center. Is there any way such that already posted documents with dummy profit center can be assigned corresponding original profit center? As of now due to the common dummy profit center has been assigned to various entries, the plant wise reports are not able to display correct figures because dummy profit center is not apportioned to respective plants.
Similar case is also with Vendor and Customer account balances.
We had already gone trough few notes and one of them (1164356) suggests using a BAdI FAGL_MIGR_SUBST, but its scope / use is somewhat ambiguous. (It suggests some ABAP work in VALIDATE_ITEM method, although this method is not present in its interface.)
Kindly help as early as possible...
Thanks and Regards,

Hi
You are not clear on your post
1) whether you have implemented Document Slitting or not?
2) Mapped Zero Balance account or not and
3) Profit Center and Zero Balance account are checked in document soplitting charactreristiocs or not?
I am posting this reply based on the assumption that you have mapped the above configuration.
If You have assigned Dummy Profit center in FAGL_3KEH, this always overrides the profit center derived, and the system posts with a dummy profit center. Remove the FAGL_3KEH assignment if any so that the system posts to the correct profit Centers.
Now If you have made the configuration as discussed in points 1,2 3 and other document splitting configurations, then removing FAGL_3KEH will force system to look for the profit centers in all the line items and posts only when this is satisfied.
A pre requisite will be "Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers" in FA global Settings(New)> Ledgers>Ledger which should be "Profit Center".
As a concept you may not need assignment of FAGL_3KEH once you have implemented document Splitting.
Hope this clarifies your situation.

No Business Partner generated for new employee transfer from ECC to SRM

Hi All,
I am working on SRM 5.0 with ECC 6.0 backend. The HR structure is replicated from ECC using ALE, message type:HRMD_ABA.
When I am trying to replicate a new employee from ECC to SRM, I run the O-insert first, then the S-insert and then the P-insert using PFAL transaction.
The Org structure was already in place in SRM, so it just adds the new position to it by A003 relation. The S-insert generated idoc shows status as '53' in both ECC and SRT with the relation A003, B007 and A008. But, when I check the table HRP1001, the A008 entry is missing. Due to this, no CP is generated for this position and also no business partner is generated for this user.
When I run the P-insert for this employee, the idoc is posted in ECC. But, the status of the idoc in SRT is '52' and the message shown is "The Parameter Country Has Not been Entered During Naming Format Check" Message No. R11206.
I checked the Name Format for this employee, and it is maintained as 2.
Where am I going wrong? Why is no CP person generated even when the idoc status is 53? Why isn't the new employee getting transferred to SRM server?
I have checked the SAP notes related to HR-ECC Org transfer, but I am unable to figure out the reason for this problem.
Could anyone help me out in this?
Regards,
Ancy

Business Partner Contacts Define new is blank when addon runs

version 2007 PL 15
When my addon is running the business partner contacts tab is missing the "Define New" option and contacts cannot be added.
When the addon is stopped then the businness partner contacts tab functions normally.
There is nothing in the addon that affects or references the business partner form, and the event filters have been set carefully to exclude any unnecessary events.
Has anyone had this strange problem or does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Mel

Mel,
the problem must be in your addon. I think that you dont catch correctly the events or you work on incorrect form. For solution I recomend to find out the item no in BP contact (its 13) and search through your code where is the 13 and check if is it correct. Maybe the problem is, that contacts in BP are only in ok form mode - check if have somewhere in code changing of formmode for BP form.

A business partner creates a new employee

Hi there.
In transaction u201CBBPMAINEXTu201D (Process user data), a business partner can create a new employee, example a bidder employee.
When he populates and send request, the system shows us next message: u201CYour registration application was received and will be forwarded to the processor responsibleu201D
I have some question?
¿Is it sent an email to any one?¿Is there any WF in order to approve the creation?¿Is there any transaction in order to supervise the new employee?
I suppose that there is any way in order to inform the system administration or the buyer. Is it necessary any role in order to receive the email or the WF.
Thanks in advance.
Raúl.

Hi,
Approval of external user master records (WS10000209)
Approval of external business partner registration
(vendor, bidder) and their contact persons.
The approver must be entered as a possible agent in the agent
assignment of the standard task TS10008109.
If the external business partner and employee have not yet been registered, external
employees can register the company as a vendor, bidder, or portal bidder and register themselves as
the contact person of that company. When the registration application is saved, the approver
responsible (a professional purchaser or system administrator) receives a work item in the Enterprise
Buyer system. Using the work item, approvers reach the application Managing External Business
Partners, where they can adopt and complete the relevant data from the registration application.
Approvers must inform the applicant of the approval or rejection of their registration application and
of the relevant logon data for the Enterprise Buyer system. This can be done via e-mail using the
application Managing External Business Partners, if necessary. Prerequisites: You must have
defined the responsible processor. To do this, enter the processor as a possible agent in the agent
assignment of the standard task TS10008109
Could be helpful..

Urgent plz!! partner profit centre derivation

my company has 2 plants under one company code . one plant supplies one material type A to second plant .Both the plant have different profit centres.
How to make the partner profit centre hit when i am doing an invoice posting in MIRO.
I tried doing a derivation rule in 8kes , but the partner profit centre has to hit after matching the particular material no and the plant no .
in the enhancement source text there is no field for plant where i could modify the source text .
Moreover at the user exit in 8kes , after creating a breakpoint , it is not getting hit during MIRO .
Plz help

Hi Sunil ,
This is very much possible .
Procedure :-
generate the report ex fbl1n with any criterea.Before that check weather field profit center is there in Dynamic selections .
Even after giving if it is not coming .then go to settings in fbl1n report and there click on special fields .
New entries
Table Name BSIS/BSID/BSIK
Field Name PRCTR
Similarly
Table name BSEG
Field Name PRCTR
you save the changes
if you find any error like field prctr already exist then no need to craete firld PRCTR for BSIS but you need to create it for BSEG (form which these figures populate )
then save .
CAUTION: ypou may not find the changes until indexing takes place .
so Wait fro some time for ex In some comanies indexing takes at night time . after that only you can see the changes .
this way you can add some special fields .
Hope this will cater.
Thqanks and Regards,
Sunil

Derivation rule at asset retirement

Hii experts,
we have requirement of assets procurement through grants they receive. Funds of fund center got consumed at the asset acquisition but when i m triyng to retire/scrap assets... its giving an error for FI313 I.e
No funds center entered/derived in item 00001 (1000/2000000122/)
I came to know that we need to prepare some derivation rule of the retirement of assets to resolve the issue.. Please guide me as i am very new to grant management...
Regards,
Abhay

Dear Abhay,
Since you have created Asset Codes in Asset Master, you have to provide Asset Codes in Asset Retirement Derivation Rule, so that system can derive proper values as per your derivate rule. You have to maintain the following derivation rule for Asset Retirement:
Transaction Type (TT)+Asset Code (To-From)+Document Type(DT)=Target Commitment Item
Mention all the Asset Code number ranges maintained in the system, while Document Type AA will be used for TT 200 (Retirement without Revenue) and Document Type DR will be used for TT 210 (Retirement with Revenue). You can derive statistical or dummy commitment item (60 and 3) for processing of transaction.
Further, you can also add cost centre as source field to derive funds centre. Also make sure you keep the rule in the logical order, since it may affect the derivation of fields. Also check note 666322 to make use of trace feature to ensure proper derivation of values.
I hope this will resolve the issue.

Amar Lal

Derivation of CO-PA fields

hi,
can anybody suggest the easiest way to derive the CO-PA values for user defined characteristics.
anand

Hi Anand,
Characteristics in Profitability Analysis represent those criteria according to which the operating results shall be analyzed.
A transaction posted to PA may not supply values for all the characteristics.However, many characteristics are dependent on others, which makes it possible to derive the missing ones from the information provided.
Derivation involves a number of different steps, which are processed in the following order:
User Exit : You can only change the user-defined characteristics.
(ii) Derivation of Fixed Characteristics (e.g. Co Area from Co Code)
(iii)Derivation tables : For Characteristics chosen from SAP tables, as well as certain Fixed Characteristics
(iv) Derivation of quantity fields: If you assigned the sales quantity (FKIMG) or storage quantity (FKLMG) from SD to value fields in CO-PA when you set up the SD interface, the system can derive the corresponding quantity units automatically.
(v) Derivation Strategy (e.g. Derivation Rules, Move etc.): For user defined Characteristics.
(vi) Derivation using the dummy profit center: If Profit Center Accounting is active and the characteristic Profit center is not known, the system automatically derives the dummy profit center for the current controlling area.
Values are derived for certain characteristics only if the values are not yet known and all the values of the characteristics required for that derivation are known. If characteristic values are supplied by the source document, these are not overwritten by derivation, even if derivation would normally lead to other values.
The exception to this is derivation via user exits, which lets you overwrite existing characteristic values. The exceptions to this are the fixed characteristics Profit center (PRCTR) and Business area (GSBER), which can be changed using a user exit.
There are 5 different Derivation strategy which can be adopted in various scenarios:
Derivation Rule: A derivation rule is an "if  then" rule that determines which actual characteristic values or combinations of source characteristic values result in which target characteristic values.
(ii) Table lookups: Table lookups let you read individual records of any table to determine characteristic values. Here the source fields must make up the key of a specific table, from which the system can copy certain contents to the target fields.
(iii) Moves: Moves let you copy a constant or the content of any source field to a target field. For example, you can copy the value of a characteristic to another field if certain conditions are fulfilled.
(iv) Clear: Clears let you delete the value of a characteristic, setting that field back to its initial value (blank for CHAR fields, "0" for NUMC fields).
The easiest way could be either of these. Hope I had made clear to you. Please award points.

BI-IP:Derived characteristic overwritten again within copy planningfunction

Dear all,
I have an issue using planning function "copy". I am using this planning function to copy my planned data within the real time infocube chaning the plan version from 1 to 2 within my realtime infocube. In my realtime infocube, i have a characteristic relationship to derive the date, time and user and unique id for each record. However, when I try to copy those records now into a new version, I get the following error messages:
Errors while executing sequence testtest ( TESTTEST )
Planning function Konsolidierung ( ZCPFCOPYKONS ) ended with errors
Critical error during characteristic derivation
Derived characteristic overwritten again
Characteristic '0TIME': Old value '155926', new value '162217'
Critical error during characteristic derivation
Derived characteristic overwritten again
Characteristic '0TIME': Old value '155926', new value '162217'
Any Idea how to solve this issue?
Thank you!

Hi,
after the copy planning function the copied records will be checked and if correct will be transferred to the delta buffer. In the delta buffer derivation based on characteristic relationships will be called.
The error indicates that derivation rules with respect to 'zinscomp' are inconsistent:
- 'zinscomp' is contained in the aggregation level with value ' ' but a derivation fills a field not in the aggregation level and in addition changes 'zinscomp' from ' ' to 'c'.
- or 'zinscomp' not in the aggregation level, was derived with value ' ' and another derivation rule again changed the value to 'c'
This must not happen. If this happens this always indicates inconsistent derivatiion rules. So please check your customizing:
1 do characteristic relationships of type derivation have consistent derivation rules
2 parameterization of the copy function: maybe 'zinscomp' comes from the copy source, always with initial values but has to have non-initial value, e.g. 'c' in the copy target. In this can you may remove 'zinscomp' from the aggregation level; derivation then will automatically fill 'zinscomp' via derivation.

Gregor

Plant as a Vendor in Partner Determination

Hi
In the Partner tabs, I need to determine the Plant as a vendor.
Do I need to create a relationship of the Plant with BP. If yes, what should be the relationship category? I am using "has undefined relationship".
To determine the Plant in Partners tab as one of the Partner, In access sequence, I have used the source as "Business Partner relationships" with the details on the source as Partner function - Sold to party.
In the partner determination procedure, I have assigned this Access seq, with function as Vendor.
While executing the transaction, I am not getting the Vendor determined automatically.
Any inputs would be helpful.
thanks
Yash

Yash,
In order to determine the plant as the vendor you need the following elements established:
1. Plants setup as business partners in CRM
2. Plant relationship to business partners in CRM. You will need to create a new relationship category in order to set this part up. Use transaction BUBA to setup the new category. The role of the corresponding partner should be "vendor". Now assign the plants to your business partner using the new relationship category.
3. Configure your partner determination procedure to pickup the vendor from the relationship category you defined before.
I have done something similar with a completely "custom" partner function so, this should probably work for something more standard like a vendor.
Good luck,
Stephen

B2CBasket- Sales Order How to add Vendor partner and new line item of SO

Hi,
I want to add the following BEFORE the sales order creation process starts:
Add a VENDOR partner
Add a new line item to ORDERADM_I
I suspect in BADI CRM_ISA_BASKET_ITEMS and CRM_ISA_BASKET_HEAD. I have user 'HEAD' to add extension fields but cant figure the creation of NEW partners and NEW line item.
regards,
Dave

Thank you for feedback Shantoor,
The CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN need not be called as this FM is called immediately following almost all of the CRM_ISA_* BADI's.
For clarification I just want to expand on the solution..
In all of these BADI's SAP uses the CT_INPUT_FIELDS parameter. This is where you should enter WHICH fields you have made changes to in the exit. CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN uses the same parameter.
However the challenge is .. WHAT do you enter in the CT_INPUT_FIELDS. This is where you have to follow a strategy. I yused the following:
1. Looked where the structure was used in programs/class to see how SAP used it
2. Set breakpoints at the call of the BADI. Check what CT_INPUT_FIELDS content is (SAP uses same technique)and try and replicate for your new entries.
I hope this helps those that, like me, battled a bit with the use of these BADI's.

Base class/Derived class

Hi all,
I have
class Base {
int a;
class Derived{
int b;
now if i do
Base X = new Base();
Derived D = new Derived();
It Doesn't allow me to do D=X
But it does allow me to do X=D.
whats the reason behind it. And what actually happens when i do X=D , does the copy constructor gets called ?
Thanx

Manthana wrote:
Hi, u said
the value of X becomes the reference to the instance of Derived that you created when you called "new Derived()".
So now i can access attributes of derived class from the reference X right X.b
But i cant do X.b
Why?Please spell out words like "you". It makes things easier to read. :)
With Derived extending Base, you could say:
X = D;
X.a = 5;Because the compiler and runtime see X as a reference to a Base object, you can only access variables/methods defined in Base. Since X is declared as being a reference to Base, you always know that 'a' is defined. 'b' wouldn't be defined for X if you said:
X = new Base();
X.b = 52;So, in order to access the b, you'd have to access it with something declared as a reference to Derived, such as 'D':
D.b = 10;You could say:
X = D; // Line 1
Derived d2 = (Derived)X;
d2.b = 10;But, then you'll get a ClassCastException if X is only referring to a Base object [e.g., if Line 1 was "X = new Base();"], not to a Derived object.
