DMS Document Validity date issue.

Hello All,
I have an issue in DMS Valid from Date & Valid to date as below.
In our Document type when our document status is set to OB i.e. obsolete, in front of the status, system is showing two dates like 22.01.2014 to 31.12.9999.
We are not using change number functionality in this document type. But still system is showing two dates. When document is in RE i.e Release status system is showing 22.01.2104... date in front of the status.
Could you please let us know why it is showing two dates in front of document status.
Thanks

Hi,
from my point of view I can inform you that these dates are validity dates for the document. Normally these dates are filled when the document is released to show which version of the document is valid or was valid in a specific period.
By using menu "Extras" >> "Versions". Here a list of all versions should be displayed and the columns "Valid From" and "Valid to" should show the validity dates.
Normally these date values are only filled when the status has set the "release" flag in transaction DC10.
Best regards,
Christoph

DMS - Document Validity

Hi to all,
Does anybody know if exist a functionality to handle date of validity of a DMS document? I mean, after approving a document (with the "Release Flag"), I need to fix "manually" a date that the document will be "valid to", the date that the document is "valid from" is automatic when the status with the release indicator is set. The standard system places the date "valid to" automatically.
Thanks!
Regards,
Martin

Good day,
The easiest way to do this is by using classification.
You need to create a user exit using DOCUMENTMAIN01, when a document is released, it must populate the classification field with a valid to/from date.
In the same exit, you could then also check when the document is accessed, and if it surpasses the valid to date, you can "prompt" the user that the document is no longer valid.
If you really want to get smart, you can, in the same user exit, change the documents status to "Not Valid" after the allowed period has been reached.

Unable to create BOMMAT IDOCs due to validity date issue

Hello everyone, (Posted in SAP-PP forum as well)
I am having a unique issue with our Bills of Materials. After they are created and set to active, they have validity dates that go from 2001 to 9999. When I go to BD30 to distribute the BOM to the external systems I am getting the following error message:
No bill of material exists on 08/25/2009 for 2557B27H02/FBLR/1/01
Message no. BOM014
Diagnosis
You want to distribute BOM 2557B27H02/FBLR/1/01 via ALE. However, the BOM is invalid on 08/25/2009.
System Response
The system does not distribute the BOM.
Procedure
Check the BOM's validity.
If you want to distribute all BOMs with the change status for another key date, enter another valid-from date on the initial screen.
If you only want to distribute a certain BOM with the change status for another key date, enter another valid-from date or a change number on the selection screen.
We get this for any BOM in this system.
This is our QA environment and do not have this problem in our Development system. BD30 finds the BOM we specified but claims it is invalid on that date.
We are trying to figure out if there is another status or approval step that I am missing here.

Validity date issue: Access Enforcer

Hi All,
There is a request in Access Enforcer wherein there are total 4 stages of approval, the first 2 stages have been properly approved however when the same arrived to the 3rd stage of approval, the validity date for the request was over and therefore the approvers tried to extend the same, but the "more" tab is not appearing and therefore the approvers are not able to approve the request by extensing the validity date.
Can you please help with this issue?
Thanks
Vani

Vani,
Go to the stage level settings for this particular stage via configuration -> workflow -> stage. Change the option of 'Change request content' to 'Yes' and the approver in this stage should be able to change the vailidity dates.

Maintain Validity Date for Documents

Hi
Any Idea how can we put and maintain Validity Dates for any Document uploaded in DMS Server.
Validity Dates here means (Documents cannot be used if validty is over)
I could not find any option in CV01* T-Codes.
Regards

Dear Prasant,
You can also do this solution also if you find it OK.
1. Create a Class with "Validaty Date" as characteristics. Assign this Charac to class. Assign this class to doc Type. This charac should not be editable to any one except creator.
2. Create a program with BAPI " Set Status" ( Check the name). which will run in background to check the validity date of Document. If the validity date is reached the BAPI will change the status to "S" as stated by Chritoph.
This will help user to manually tracked which documents have exceded the validity date. You can also genegrate report and mail it to particular user that what documents have been set to Status "S".
Hope I have provided a valid solution as I have tried similar kind of functionality with changing a characteristics with Date.
With warm Regards

Date issue in processing billing documents that shipped in a prior period

Date issue in processing billing documents that shipped in a prior period that is now closed:
SAP values those deliveries with the current document date in A/R when it should be the original delivery date. Baseline date needs to stay the delivery date, but is getting copied from the billing date in the new period. A user exit exists (& needs to be applied) to manipulate the baseline date when the accounting document is being created.
Any input is appreciated.

Validity Date in document version

Hello,
new in the subject; could you please tell me how can I set the validity dates for a Document Version? I set the status "Release" and now I can see under Extras >> Versions the From and To Date (today and 31.12.9999) . Is there any way of changing these dates ?
Thanks

Hi,
You can use the classification and based on this report you can develop a new report which allows you to work on this information like set document version to invalid.

How to reference vendor master data in Document Validation?

Hi,
We would like to display a warning message as follows during AP invoices posting if the following details have been defined in the vendor master data.
a.        u201CAlternate payee has been definedu201D
b.        u201CPermitted payee has been definedu201D
c.        u201CPartner bank has been definedu201D
May i know the best method to do this? If i use document validation, how can i reference these details sitting in the Vendor master data?

Hi,
You can use custom validation program (Z*) by copying standard validation (RGGBR000) program.
Modify the validation program to check table vendor master data.
After that, you need to assign this custom validation program to GBLR application area in GCX2.
Thanks

GATP - Issue with substitution rules with validity dates

Hi,
We are using GATP with RBA. Our condition table has plant as a field.
We are planning to have a substitution procedure (rules) defined at plant level.
Our rule control for product substitution list is "Start from top of list"
The issue we are facing is explained below.
The first item in the substitution procedure (rule) cannot have validity dates.
So it will always be balnk. And validity dates can be maintained for other items in the procedure (rule).
What happens in our scenario is when there is a requirement on an item in the substitution procedure (rule) which has a validity date, the first item in the procedure (which can never have validity dates) is never considerd for substituions.
If I remove the validity dates, then the first item in the procedure (rule) is considered for substitutions.
We find this strange and against our business requirement. We want the first item in the procedure (rule) to be considered for substitution ireespective of the validity date for the requested product.
It would be great if you could suggest a method to achieve this.
Thanks & regards,
Arvind.S

Hi Mohan,
Thanks for the response.
We are using back order processing (BOP) for allocation.
We observed that the first item was not getting considered for substitution in the BOP results and also in product view after the BOP run. No stock of that item was allocated for the order taken up in the BOP run.
However, we tried rule evaluation also. It shows the first item also, but in actual allocation the issue exists.
We are not using "start immediately" in check instructions.
Thanks & regards,
Ashok

Factory calendar issue changing validity date

Hi,
We have come across the OSS note 1532398 and 1529649. It's for our Solution Manager system. We are on SP24 EHP1 and i wanted to know how far up can you go in the validity date? I understand the holiday dates need to be changed first but how far up can i go and which calendar would apply for Solution Manager? My understanding is that becuase we are based in the UK only the UK based calendars would need to be changed or does it depend on which country the user accessing the system is based?
your help would be very much appreciated.
Mani

Hello Mani,
If you look at SAP Note 501262 - UK Public Holiday Calendar Settings for 2012
Look at Solution 3
3. You can now -> Goto -> Public Holiday calendar -> Assign th
2013 holiday to the calendars GS/GN/GE.
Change valid from / to definition -> select 'Spring Bank
Holiday - 2013' -> valid from = 2013 -> Save
Valid from 2013 to 20XX on your demand
This would suggest that the validity date can be set to any value in the format 20xx.

Validating date problem (simple issue ?)

I am trying to validate a date using the following code:
public boolean validateDate(String testDate) {
try {
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yy");
sdf.setLenient(false);
java.util.Date theDate = sdf.parse(testDate);
return true;
catch(Exception f) {
return false;
No matter what I pass in the date will be formatted as the month January. For example: 5/8/02, 05/08/02 and 05/08/2002 will all format as 1/8/02. This happens to every valid date I pass in. This function is catching the exceptions of an invalid date. I have searched the newsgroups and found many posts and have compared their code with mine and there does not seem to be a problem with the code.
If anyone can give me some insight I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks bbritta - that was driving me nuts.

Ihave over 7gb of saved text messages that i cant delete, ive deleted all my texts and it still says that. ive read that backing up with icloud and turning off documents and data would eliminate this issue... well how...?

icloud will not allow me to backup my phone because of the 7gb of data its too much for the 5gb free space on icloud and i have the documents and data turned off in the icloud settings so i dont understand whats taking up all the space? the only thing i have on the settings is my photos and thats only 4gb. SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

I have this identical problem. For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad. Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something. Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads. I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time) Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc. There still hasn't been a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
