Digital Signature - Bill of Lading

Hi,
I am new to SAP Applications. Could someone brief me whether I am able to integrate digital signature into Bill of Lading using NetWeaver either Java or .Net Connector?. What other requirements must I have in order for this to be possible(hardwares, softwares, environment).
Other than that, what knowlegde of SAP Application i need to do it(programming, applications).
Thanks
Joey

Hi Sunil,
A Bill of lading (BOL) is a document issued by a carrier, e.g. a ship's master or by a company's shipping department, acknowledging that specified goods have been received on board as cargo for conveyance to a named place for delivery to the consignee who is usually identified. The term derives from the noun "bill", a schedule of costs for services supplied or to be supplied, and from the verb "to lade" which means to load a cargo onto a ship or other form of transport.
The BOL can be found in the Output determination for the Transportation [Transaction V/82]
Example:
1. Output determination starts in V7 with output type CMR1 and the assigned access sequence.
2. The access sequence defines the fields with which the key for the condition table is read.
(for example, condition table B017: shipment type of the shipment is read)
3. If the condition record is found, the system proposes an output with the output attributes found in the table.
4. The output proposal (possibly not yet processed) is stored after the document is posted as an output status record in the NAST table.
Hope this will help.

Ferry Lianto

E-Pad and digital signatures

Folks,
Our company is implementing a new process wherein at the time of shipment, they would like to have the truck driver sign an e-Pad and the signature should be imported onto the bill-of-lading output. We have a customized delivery process and due to the volume of shipments, we do not want the truck drivers to spend anytime like saving the signature image to the desktop and then import into SAP etc.
We want the signature to be imported from the delivery screen (custom developed) onto the bill of lading output at the click of a button. We are using SAP version 4.7 and the e-Pad signature is from interlink electronics, who appear to be naive in SAP. We are open to look at other vendors for e-Pad or e-Signatures.
Hence, please help in the following ASAP:
1. Does SAP 4.7 have any limitations to import digital signatures?
2. Do anyone have any experience with e-Pad with interlink or can suggest any other vendor/product that can be readily used for this purpose?
Thanks and Regards,

PDF with Digital Signatures

I am currently using classic asp and I need to fill out an existing pdf with data from the database. The form also contains two signatures. I just need to fill in the form, save it so I can email it to the the customer. I tried using the fdf toolkit - but my form has text fields that can be 20 characters or 4000. The multiline function in adobe forms isn't working correctly and it cuts it off when you print.
I could create the form in livecycle, and generate the data in xml, but I am so new to adobe, I don't know how to programatically load the file and save it to the server.
I have another program I've tried where I can generate fdf code I think it's fpdf (the php version that was changed to asp) - but I need to know how to generate a digital signature.
I've tried pdftk - I tried to merge the data with the signature - but ended up with permission issues.
I have been working on this problem for several weeks and could really use some help.

Bill,
I'm trying to create a dynamic document using data from the database to generate the pdf, the pdf also needs to containg two signatures for signing. I've looked at every way possible to do this. Currently, my greatest success has come from using the fdf toolkit, but the sizing of the fields (could be 20 chars, could be 4000 chars) leaves me with a very ugly form.
The form I am using already contains the two signature blocks - but I am at a loss on how to populate a pdf form that resides on the webserver with data from the database.
Bill, can you help?

Process Route-Digital Signature

Hi,
For the process route functionality for SAP DMS in PLM7.01 are digital signatures possible? If not , is it possible to build in this functionality using customization?
Also if an approver in a route rejects approval how does the system handle this?
thanks

Digital Signature on pdf Invoice generated by BI Publisher

Hi,
Can BI Publisher add a digital signature to a pdf invoice to certify it when viewed by e-billing ?
Do you know if this has been done elsewhere. BI Publisher needs to call the local authority responsible for digital signatures to sign the pdf invoice file.
Thanks for your input.

Limitaions of SAP Digital Signature...!!!!!!!!

Dera Gurus!
Kindly enlighten me on SAP limitations for Digital Signature implementation.
Are there any avenues in Sales and Distribution processes other than billing where digital signature could be useful (any internal or external process during order to cash or procure to pay cycle)?

Hello,

Projects & Digital Signatures

Hi Experts,
One of our Client deals with Projects.
According to my solution, every Project will have a Project Code and WH with same name.
1. The material lying at one project location some time is transfered to another Project location, and that has to be linked with Project Code for Costing purpose in Stock Transfers.
In SBO there can be only One Project linked, how to deal with this situation.
2. When the material is Purchase, it is booked as expense insted of current asset and they also want the quantity available.
Can i assign Expense account at Inventory account in G/L Determination, If so what all the things i should mind
3. My Client also wants Digital Signature of the approved person on the doc's. I have no idea about this, Can any help me about this.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep
The best way to handle items to an expense account is to set them as non inventory items. This will automatically use the expense account for the account determination. The only problem is that SAP Business One will not have any on hand quantity for the item. You could try changing the stock account to be an expense account but I would not recommend this (as it seems you might have already done).
In the scenario you have, the best would be to purchase stock into the asset account and then use stock transfer to move it between projects or use goods issue to expense as the items are consumed for the project. That way you would know which items have being used or not. Please let me know what kind of projects these are, ie. construction over time, etc. How are customers billed, on milestones, etc.?
Note that you can change the allocated project code against the journal entry, though I would advise you to use this carefully as any mistakes would cause the project reports to be inaccurate.
As for the project on stock transfers, in the project column (form settings to activate) you can select a different project for each item in the rows. If the same item is being moved to 2 different locations, this will not be a problem as each project is also a warehouse and you must add 2 rows for the item and set a warehouse for each one.
With regards to digital signatures, this is not that easily handled in SAP Business One. The problem is how to relate a jpg or bmp image file (for example) to a specific user and not allow other users to access the file.
Kind regards

Disabling Digital Signatures

Hi,
Can anyone give me some solid evidence that disabling digital signatures on our 2003 network (for our 10 mac users) would be a good alternative? Right now we have 125 PC's and 10 Mac computers on our network using Active Directory.
I have also seen documentation regarding the issue of enabling digital signatures (if client agrees). Is there evidence or technical manuals at Microsoft's website that they agree that this is a secure alternative?
We have attempted to use AdmitMac to no avail.
-Kevin

This page on Microsoft's website should give you a fairly comprehensive overview of the policy and SMB clients.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;887429
If you deal with SOX or are a security conscious company then disabling this policy isn't recommended. You should look into a third party SMB solution such as "Dave" or "ADMitMac" from http://www.thursby.com or a third party AFP solution for your server such as "ExtremeZ-IP" from http://www.grouplogic.com.
Hope this helps! bill

Digital Signature Process

My company has been successfully using a 2 level digital signature process for a while now but recently there have been grumblings for the addition of a third level. Done easily enough but a wrinkle has been exposed in that SolMan only has a start and end status. For instance the status stays at 75% even after the first signature has been executed instead of moving to an intermidiary 90%. I've expermented by adding a second signatory process to the document but it doesn't seem to get recognized.
Has anyone implemented a 3 tier or more signatory process that changes status at each signature or have a workaround so the next signatory knows its his/her turn?

Digital Signature update after new documents created on customizing

Hello,
Is there any standard report to update old document with signature after new changes on SIPT_NUMBR_SD_V which added new document types?
I mean, if we move to live system today 2 new number ranges for billing types, the new invoices created will be on digital signature, but what about the old document created before the transpor of customizing?

DMS & Workflow - Handling Digital Signatures

Hello,
I have set up a DMS status network, and I'm controlling this network using workflow.
My workflow listens to "DRAW" for changes, and when a particular status is seen,
workflow starts.
This workflow sends out work items to several users, prompting them to review.
At this point, users can go into the DIR from their Inbox, and either select Approve or Reject Status.
Both Approve and Reject status are set up to require a Digital Signature. Workflow controls moving the status back to a "ready" state for the next reviewer. It also keeps track of the number of reviewers, in order to know when all reviews are done.
When everyone behaves in timely manner, this works great. Workflow has no issue with setting DMS statuses - in most cases.
However, I also have deadline monitoring set up on my workflow. After 3 days pass with no action, I want to "auto-reject". System id WF-BATCH is what I use to set statuses through workflow, and this works fine in most cases. However since the status "Approve" and "Reject" are set to require digital signatures, this system initiated status change FAILS. The system does not provide a digital signature for itself.
My question is - is this possible through configuration - to set it up in some way that a system ID can promote to a status and either pass a password or simply not require a digital signature?
My network is kind of stuck at this point because one of the 2 statuses MUST be selected for it to proceed.
Edited by: Bill Bessette on Jul 24, 2008 9:40 PM

Hello Niranjan,
That's an interesting suggestion... I'll investigate. Any additional detail you can provide on how to implement this User/Pwd hard coding in WF would be appreciated.
In the meantime, here is some additional info.
Imagine a status network as follows:
Draft
Initiate Workflow
In Review - Reject/Approve
Active
Document starts in draft. The author selects a status of (Initiate Workflow) at which point the workflow starts.
Workflow moves the status from (Initiate Workflow) to (In Review)
and puts a work item in the reviewers mailbox. Reviewers can change the status to (Reject) or (Approve) and each requires a digital signature. After each reject/approve, Workflow moves the status back to (In Review) so that the next person may act. When everyone has reviewed and approved, workflow moves the status to (Active). If anyone has rejected, workflow moves the status back to (Draft.)
This is a simplification, but that's the scenario. WF-BATCH is our workflow ID that has SAP-ALL authorization. Problem occurs when deadline monitoring is in effect. If a reviewer doesn't act within the designated deadline, the monitor fires and the work item is flagged as obsolete. Due to the status network, the only valid path is to either move to (Approve) or (Reject). But since both of those statuses have been set up to require digital signature, they fail. We end up stuck in (In Review) with no way out.
If hard coding the userid WF-BATCH and the password in some table will solve this problem, then we'd be thrilled.
Bill

Digital Signature in BPA Invoice printing

Hi ,
We have request in GSI that business want to use Digital Signature for Oracle India during invoice printing using Bill Presentment. All the template are RTF template. Please let me know whether R12.1 supports Digital Signature in invoice printing and how we can implement?
Thanks
Mariappan.

dear Subathra
For PDF Conversions - Use the Tcode SE38 & enter the program RSTXPDFT4 & Execute.Next screen enter the Spool number & Execute. You will get the PO converted into PDF format.
To use a digital signature in R/3, you must install an external security product which is certified by SAP for the SSF interface ("Secure Store & Forward").
1. For the digital signature, you can use an external security product that is certified by SAP for the SSF interface. A list of the certified security products is available under
"http://service.sap.com", "Quick Links", "/security", "Certified
Security Partners", "Partner for secure store and forward, digital
signatures (SSF)"
2. You will also find the installation guideline for SSF on the same
page under
"Security in Detail" > "Secure Collaboration" > "SSF User's
Guide"

Completing the Digital Signature

We've implemented digital signatures from several of our DMS doc types. Essentially we have a couple of statuses that are set with a Signature Strategy, and when the user sets them and hits "save", they get a message at the bottom of their screen that indicates that they must enter a digital signature. If they hit "enter" at that point, a dialog pops up which allows them to enter a comment and their password (the e-signature.) Clicking the "check mark" closes the dialog and comletes the Digital Signature process.
The "issue" is, that it is not always clear for some of our users what should be done at various steps of the process. To their way of thinking, after they hit save the digital signature box should pop up immediately (no message at the bottom of the screen, no need to hit enter.)
Is there a way to streamline this process at all, so that hitting save immediately elicits the Comment/Signature box?
Regards,
Bill

Hi Bill,
I'm sorry but this behavior means the current standard and as far as I know the pop-up should not be opened directly when
the user hits the save button. So in case this message appears in the status line the user has just to press ENTER again to see the digital signature pop-up.
Best regards,
Christoph
