Document entry date = system date, confusion for mult country implementatio

Hi All,
We are implementing in US and Malaysia. The server is located in Malaysia. The time difference between US and Malaysia is 16 hrs. Thus when US users enter documents and want to get the list of documents posted, the have to convert their time to the Malaysia time and then put that specific date and time. This is confusing even though we have maintained the time zone for the user.

HI Paul,
The user setting mentioned by you, helps in the determination of the posting date. My query is with regard to entry date. For e.g the server is in Malaysia. one company is in US. Thus when the user in US needs to check their document based on the entry date, they cannot check based on the time and date based on US date, they have to conver the entry time and date to the server time and then put in the selection criteria to get the document list...Hope this clarifies my query.

[DME] Document about data mapping for HSBC ifile format (PP,ACH, COS)

Dear SAP experts,
I'm implementing an automatic payment module through HSBC in an SAP project.
My customer want to streamline their payments to vendors using automated
payments with HSBC.
I have a document about ifile description which show me information about the
structure and data format in HSBC ifile. I know how to create a DME format tree
but the HSBC format seem to be very complicated, it contains a lots of fields and
a lots of them I don't really understand.
I'm sure that many of you have done this before. Do you have any document about
data mapping for HSBC file format? I have a lot of fields leaving undone so any
relevant documents will be very helpful for me.
Hope you can help.
Thank in advance.
Maxielight.

Hello Maxielight,
I too am working on this IFILE format for transmitting to HSBC for Indian INR payments & am using DMEE.
I'm struggling with a couple of fields in relation to PP.
1st is the 'Record Count' in FIle header, which is just a count of the total number of lines in the file.
2nd is the 'Total number of instructions in batch' in Batch Header section, because I'm trying to count using aggreation via reference node id, but because the Batch Header is level 1 & I need to wait for '2nd Party Details for PP' which is at a lower level I always get an error when I run the check with error 'aggregation not permitted because of field I'm using is lower level, or they are not in the same segment.
I've also tried creating a new segment with 'Delay output' but still get similiar error about the nodes being in differenet segments.
How did you get past this issue?
We are not using COS, instead we will print our own cheques in the office so sorry I cannot offer advise there.
Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

HT4889 Is it possible to use the migration assistant to transfer only some documents and data? For example, I was to transfer my music, but not my word documents. There doesn't seem to be any options to customise what you are transferring - its all or not

Yes, that's why I recommend one have more than TimeMachine as a backup because if certain files or folders are corrupted on the TM drive, your not logging into your migrated user account or not be able to transfer it what so ever.
Then it's a REAL PAIN and costs $99 to bit read the TM drive to get the files out, then it's mess to go through and sort all the empty placeholders from the real files as TM doesn't save duplicates in each state, just uses the previous state's copy if there are no changes.
If you create the same named user account on the new machine, and simply transfer files via a USB thumb drive and place say music contents into the Music folder, then it will work too.
Look into making clones of your boot drive, the benefit here is it's bootable, you can access the drive directly to pick and choose files, run the computer just like before etc.

How many portal roles are needed for multi-country ESS?

we are implementing ESS for multiple countries.
has anybody tried to use one portal role for all countries?
the new ESS business package comes with one ESS portal role that has content for all countries. I was wondering if we can use this role as-is (after making a copy of course) to present content for all countries, instead of creating one portal role for each country.

in Employee Self-Service > General Settings > Homepage for Self-Services > Resources> Define Resources
did you have to enter the PCD path to the country-specific iView?
In that path you associate any resource to a Portal Page. Just change the PCD Path for custom Pages only.
Only the services are "country-specific" (because they have assigned a MOLGA). Follow the path from my previous answer to add any country-specific app.
the standard installation does not have the PCD path populated, it has the name WebDynpro application component instead
This is common issue. Depending on how the installation/upgrade was performed, the resources table is populated or not. But if is not populated, the "URLof PCD Page" property is taken from client 000. In my last implementation, i expected this issue, but i not populate manually this property and everything works fine.
Kind regards

Wanted brief idea about posting date, document date, entry date

Hi guyz!
basically am an tech consultant. But wanted to have brief idea about the following business process. scenario is like this:
in inventory management, we are doing some inter facility transfer. i.e., for a particular plant, we are having multiple storage locations. so due tosome reasons, we are transfering stock from one storage location to another storage location. so in this context can anybody say what are the followings:
1. posting date
2. document date
3. entry date
waiting for proper response.
manas

Hi Manas,
The Document Date is the date in which the business transaction for the Documente(e.g., a transfer of posting) took place. The document date is the date on which the original document was issued.
The document date can, for example, refer to the creation date of the delivery note issued by the vendor or the internal goods receipt slip.
The Posting Date determines the posting period and defines in which fiscal period a document will post (regardless of the Document or Entry date). It is the date which is used when entering the document in Financial Accounting or Controlling. The periods that are permitted for posting are determined by Accounting Services. This is the date that G/L Account Balances are updated.
The fiscal year and the period for which an update of the accounts specified in the document or cost elements is made, are derived from the posting date. The Posting Date will override the Fiscal Period entered on a document if they are different.
When entering documents, the system checks whether the posting date entered is allowed by means of the posting period permitted.
The posting date can differ from both the entry date (day of entry into the system) and the document date (day of creation of the original document).
The Entry Date is the date the transaction was actually "permanently entered" into R/3.
Note: It is possible that an invoice was issued with a Document Date of 6/15/98, entered into R/3 on 7/15/98 (Entry Date) with a Posting Date of 6/30/98 (to post the Document in the previous fiscal year). Many times, all three of these dates are the same.
Thanks,
Susmitha.

SD Billing to FI Accounting: How to make Baseline Date equal to Entry Date?

Hello,
I have configured Baseline Date to be equal to Entry Date in the Payments Terms in OBB8. I have assigned this payment term to the Customer as well as the Sales Order.
But still, when I release a Billing Document to accounting through VFX3, the Baseline Date in the Accounting Document is taken as the Document Date/Posting Date.
What does the configuration in Payment Terms do?
How can I get the Baseline Date to equal the Entry Date?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Bharath

Just copy from the standrad delivered 0001 to some Z001 and change the date to entry date.
For me it is working fine. Also try first individually using FB60 or FB70 to llok at the behaviuor of the system.

Personnel cost plan (PCP) run for multi years period

There is a requirement of PCP run (tcode PHCPADMN) for multi years.
So, I create a plan, for example, from: 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2014.
There is a position SPV1 has Infotype 5010 from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2010, for example the value is 150 USD/month.
This position is described by a job, SPV.
The job SPV itslef has Infotype 5010 from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.9999, for example the value is 100 USD/month.
When I run the PCP, the result is:
SPV has value 150 USD from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2010.
SPV has value 0 USD from 01.01.2011 - 31.12.2014 (it is incorrect)
What I expect is:
SPV has value 150 USD from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2010
SPV has value 100 USD from 01.01.2011 - 31.12.2014 (getting data from job because position cost does not exist).
If I try to run on yearly basis, not multi year, the result is correct.
2010:
SPV has value 150 USD from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2010.
2011-2014:
SPV has value 100 USD from 01.01.2011 - 31.12.2014 (getting data from job because position cost does not exist).
it seems that SAP only consider, along the run period, if position has value it will takes from position, otherwise it will takes from job.
Is it normally like this or a bug?
Additional question: Do you have any comment about PCP run for multi years?
Thanks for all advise.

Hi,
you have to run your object data selection for multi years as well. First do this for the person, tha n do it for the position, than for the job. Than you can delete the data from the position and automatically the data from the job is taken (in average) for the position for the period you select.
A thing that you have to keep in mind for multi period runs is that it creates thousands and thousand of records. Runtime is therefore long and extraction to BW is also hard to create due to this. If it is possible to cut it in to pieces, this is advisable.

Frans

KE27 msg k/846 system checks entry date

Dear all,
We are testing KE27 to transfer actual COGS for period 2011/7.
One of the billing document was failed to find actual COGS.
The message says "k/846 unable to determine actuall cost for period 008".
The billing document was created today Aug 1.
To me it looks like system checks entry date than posting date in my case.
Did anyone have the same problem before?
Please let me know how to solve it.
Thanks~
Best regards,
Sharon Chen
PS. MM period was shifted to Aug. before movement 601 was done.

Hi Sharon,
on the entry screen of KE27 there is a check-box labelled "periodic valuation". The F1-description for that box reads:
"If you select this function, valuation is executed using the original posting date for the line item being revaluated, as opposed to using the date when the transaction was executed"
Obviously, you ran KE27 with that box un-checked.

How system will automatically populate clearing date field for invoices paid similar to when payments are made to the vendors

Hi SAP Gurus,
Could you help me on this, How system will automatically populate clearing date field for invoices paid similar to when payments are made to the vendors.

Hi Ramakrishnappa,
If you clear the invoice against payment, then the invoice clearing date would be payment document posting date.

Hi Arvind,
If you have the billing doc number,
Go to t-code VF03 and display the document.
From the menu --> Go To --> Header --> Header
You can see the "Created on" date.
If you have the FI doc number,
Go to t-code FB03 and display the document.

Entry date of parked document once it is posted

Hi,
I posted one FI invoice today, which was parked on entry date 13.07.2007.
before posting that document the entry date in BKPF i.e CPUDT was 13.07.2007, but once it got posted today CPUDT changed to 28.08.2007. CPUDT was overwritten, now if i want to track all the documents which were parked on 13.07.2007 i am not able to find this one.
Can you pls tell me if there is any table where this info is maintained.
Thanks,
Sonali

Hi Sonali,
Probably your question has been answered by now, but what the heck.I was looking for an answer to this question too, caused I wanted to calculate to complete processing time for an invoice, from creation to booking. Im using the files BSEG-ZFBDT with KOART = K. This field is the baseline date used for calculating the date on which the invoice has to be paid. I think you can use this field.
Using CDHDR could be possible too, but would take a lot of performance.
Kind regards,

SAP VBA interfacing - error: FI/CO interface: Inconsistent FI/CO document header data for updating

Hello,
Currently I'm working with excel SAP interfacing. For this I am using VBA to call different BAPI functions.
I have already some interface scripts working, however I have also one which I cannot discover what I'm missing.
The VBA code is to reach BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST
My error is ---> FI/CO interface: Inconsistent FI/CO document header data for updating

End Sub

after some searching I've discovered that once I'm creating next line for accounting document it is not working properly.
When I debug the BAPI in SE37 after inserting new line it is asking for GL account input, however if I run it using VBA and delete the account from the code, the return message is not giving me any error that GL account is missing.
I appreciate any ideas.

Date Variant for Shipment Cost document archiving

Hii
I want to archive the shipment cost document in my system for a particular date range.
When i go to the transaction SARA and put the object name as SD_ VFKK, it doesnt show me the date variant.
Whereas when i archive shipment(object: SD_VTTK), date variant is available.
Can anyone suggest any kind of setting which needs to be done in order to use the date variant for the object SD_VFKK
Thanks
Gaurav Manocha

Hi Gaurav,
Actually for Object SD_VFKK, when you to transaction code SARA and click on write variant, you dont have date option there. You can archive it only on the basis of Shipement Cost Document number.
If you will give me the details then I can see what you are actully looking for.

Error: No Logon Data found for Lotus Notes System

Hi,
I have created a lotus notes sytem and have configured the transport also.
But even then i am not able to create appointment under collaboration.
I get the error msg :
"No logon data found for the system 'system name' ".
And when i tried to change the User Mapping , it gives the error msg,
" Error in accessing user mapping data for selected system"
Pls help. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
Here are a few solutions which may help you solve your problem
1) Access the lotus system with its fully qualified hostname in the system credentials and in the Lotus transport as well.(Ping from portal side and Domino side to each other to check the connectivity as well as the heartbeat check i.e.Launch http://<hostname>:<port>/<servletDirectory>/CalendarServlet in the browser to check the connectivity)
2) In the servlets.properties file,add the following(marked in bold)
servlet.CalendarServlet.initArgs=saveperiod=50,width=7,AttachmentFolder= D:
temp,useEmail=true,debug=true,logResponse=true
This will help you find on the Lotus console what the possible error could be.
3) Run the command 'load http' (coz the http protocol might not have been loaded) on the lotus console and restart the lous server.
If this is the case then make the following entry in the notes.ini file.
Against the list of ServerTasks add HTTP
