Document Flow Configuration

Hi Experts
I am configuring document flow for Outbound delivery to have Delivery item linked to Delivery, Shipment linked to Delivery and Handling unit linked to Delivery Item.
I defined one document flow group say Z_DEL1 which has sequence 1 for Delivery Header, 2 for Delivery Item with predecessor Delivery Header, 3 for Shipment with predecessor Delievry Header and 4 for Handling Unit with predecessor Delivery Item.
I defined Source and Predecessor document mappings for each of these sequences. Now I defined one multitask EH update activity say Z_DEL_ACT1 with task UPDATE, activity DF_UPDATE_FROM_EH and DF group Z_DEL1.
I defined this as combined scenario of Delivery and Shipment. Now I have a question, shall I need to assign this EH Upd Act2 field with value Z_DEL_ACT1 for all Event Handler Types related to Delivery Header, Delivery Item, Shipment and Handling Unit or is it sufficient to assign EH Upd Act2 only for Delivery Header?
The scenario is to configure document flow only for Delivery with successors as delivery item, shipment and handling unit. The document flow net should get updated automatically whenever a shipment is created or handling unit is created.
Also, I have 2 customized statuses for delivery header document which I need to display in the table of document flow window. I am taking the fields from /SAPTRX/EH_STAT. Shall I need to add these two fields in the structure of relevant document category like addition of these 2 fields in table /1DF/1ODL400?
I hope I am clear on my questions and please advise as soon as possible on these.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Steffen, Hi All
Could you please share any document on how to configure the document flow for the scenario I explained initially?
I still have a doubt, if I use one document flow group and define one EH update activity and assign the same to Delivery Event Handler Type, will system update the docuemnt flow whenever the Event Handlers for successors of Delivery (like Delivery Item, Shipment, Handling Unit etc) get created in EM system? or Shall I need to assign the same EH update activity to all Event Handler Types which are successors to Delivery?
I hope I am clear on my question.
This is really urgent.
Thanks
Ravi

Unfortunately I am not on ECC 6.0 and I dont see the field that you mention in my system.
There are quite a few links below, which contains some description about this field, of course provided for some issues.

I assume apart from Inbound delivery status updates, other tables like MSEG and document flow tables also gets updated with the inbound delivery number.

What is document flow for particulr document?and how it will be configured?

give me answ with detiled steps to configure document flow

Hi
The business cycle has different processes and each process will have a different documents to record the events/details of the activities about that activity. This is there even if the process happens manually.
It helps you to know the status of an order - ie., that particular order is in which stage of the business cycle.
As told in the above reply, the copy controls helps to link the documents and the field UPDATE DOCUMENT FLOW enables updating the preceding documents. The table that stores the document flow is VBFA and you can also see the document flow from any document by clicking the icon 'document flow'.
Thanks,
Ravi

Confirmation of service in the document flow, where it comes from?

Dear all,
I found a confirmation of service after I picking and posting goods issue, from the document flow.
I just wondering, where it comes from? Or, how can I configure it on or off for display?
(This is a standard ERP system, should not involve in the CRM module)
Thanks,

Hi Peng,
This usually happens for inbound deliveries usually happens when a movement type is not found for the relevant item. Please check in the delivery item if a movement type is maintained.
Another possibility is that the material is a non-stock (service) material type for which goods movement are not relevant. Check the material type from the material master.

Sales Document Flow - Ref. Value not showing correct currency

I have a question about document flow currency in ECC6.0. We recented upgraded to ECC6.0 from 4.7 and noticed the changes to document flow. We are a US based company with sales offices in Europe. Our European offices are finding that that document flow in ECC6.0 shows in base currency of USD. Even thought the sales order was entered in EUR euros. Is this intended to be this way; since it is causing our offices in Europe some confusion? I searched forums an SAP notes and did not find any references. Has anyone see this in ECC6.0
Example Document Flow: Line Level (I do not see Ref Value at header level)
Note Sales Document was entered in EUR euros.
Document     Quantity     Unit     Ref. Value     Currency
Standard Order 0025082768 / 10     12 EA     5,207.54 USD
...Delivery 0080211725 / 10     12 EA
.....Picking request 20100423 / 10     12 EA
.....Handling unit 0001221687 / 1     12 EA
.....GD goods issue:delvy 4901261948 / 1     12 EA     1,690.08 GBP
...Invoice 0092006736 / 10                           12 EA     5,207.55 USD
Accounting document 0092006736     12 EA
If I highlight top line in document flow, I see the following in lower part of screen. This is the currency entered on the sales order.
0025082768     10          12     EA     3,847.80     EUR

Smile,
Thanks for pointing those configuration points out.   I checked my system and found the following. I do not see any change documents for the configuration points, so they have been set this way since our implemenation in 2005.
XD02 is customer master change, the customer on my order is set to EUR in sales in distribution tabs.
OX02 - Company Code
1000     Middleton     USD...ok
2000     London     GBP   ok
2100     Munich     EUR...ok
2210     Amsterdam     EUR...ok
4000     Hong Kong     USD...ok
I think OVX5 is not set correctly, should be same as OX02. If I change them, do I need to run an update in the system for old data? Or is it as simple as changing the value here? I'm hesitant to change this not knowing how this will affect the system. Do you know?
OVX5 - Sales Org
1000     Middleton     USD...ok
2000     London     USD   should be GBP
2100     Munich     USD   should be EUR
2210     Amsterdam     USD...should be EUR
4000     Hong Kong     USD...ok

BAP_SALES_ORDER_CREATE_WITH_REFERENCE - Document flow

Hi, I have a problem with the bapi for create sales order with reference, When the line items be created, the Update indicator for flow table(VBAP-UPFLU) be created whit the value 'X'(Create document flow records).
If the sales order is manual, the value of the Indicator for flow table is '2'(Create document flow records except for delivery/goods issue/billing documents), acording to the configuration, but, the bapi assing 'X' for the same reference document.
Then, when change positions of outbound delivery or billing document the performance of the system is afected because the "Document number of the reference document" have to many reference, and read all the flow document of the contrat.
I think that maibe need indicate someting aditional to the bapi at position level.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,
Fernando Jiménez.

Contract not visible in sales order document flow

Hi
I am supposed to create sales order from Contract.The requirement is that only header data should be copied.Thus In Copy Control configuration I did not maintain item level and schedule line level settings for these document types. The issue is that after running the whole cycle from Contract -->SO --> Delivery --> Invoice when I see the Sales Order document flow I can see all other documents but not the contract.Also In Contract document flow I can see only sales order but not delivery and invoice.Please guide.

Hello,
Update Document Flow option is available only at Item Level in copy control setting from Contract to Sales Order.
Check out your Copy Control Records at Item Level. There would be "2" mentioned in "pdate document flow" box.
2 means Create doc. flow records except for dely/goods issue/billdoc. Here you to maintain "X" for Complete Document flow.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

Outbound Delivery Document Flow (One-Step procedure) Goods Receipt

I am trying to extract the Goods Receipt status of Outbound Deliveries which are posted using One-Step procedure. I can do this one delivery at a time using VL03N.
Some sites (plants) are configured with One-Step procedure and others are configured as Two-Step procedure.
Document flow of an Outbound Delivery is extracted from table VBFA.
For the two-step delivery process (Movement type 641) the Goods Receipt is recorded in table VBFA (Subs.doc.categ. / VBTYP_N = 'i'). Therefore, I can easily extract the goods receipts for these deliveries.
However, for the one-step procedure (Movement type 647) the Goods Receipt does not appear to be recorded in table VBFA. Does anyone know which table the Goods Receipt is stored for one-step procedure?
Using transaction VL03N we can view the document flow. It appears that for One-Step procedure the Goods Receipt is held at item level. By highlighting a delivery line in VL03N and viewing the document flow we can see the goods receipt for One-Step deliveries (therefore, the data must be held somewhere).
I understand that by using One-step procedure the goods receipt is posted automatically, so we can assume that there should never be outstanding Goods Receipts for One-Step sites. However, I have been tasked with the job of reconciling all deliveries for the past 12 months. I need to prove that a goods receipt has been posted for every single delivery.
Any advice is much appreciated.

Thankyou for the advice. I will proceed with your recommendation.
However, the query is inefficient since the link between LIKP and MKPF does not use the primary key (Article Doc. / MBLNR). We have almost 7 million records in MKPF table.
Is there any intermediate tables I can include between LIKP and MKPF so that only primary keys are used for the joins?

Document flow not getting updated

Dear Experts,
I am facing a problem in document flow.
I create order (for free goods order type ZFRE), do delivery and finally billing.Outbound delivery is showing as "Being Processed".While I have maintained "Update document flow" in item level in copy control.
For your information, this is free goods order type and the system has been configured in such a way that accounting docs are not generated after billing. (As it is for free goods.).Could this be because accounting docs are not being generated?
Kindly advise.
Regards,
Randhir

Hi
Pls see the copy control sales document to sales document T.Code VTAA
Go to the item category and see the document flow field is activated or not if is not activated pls activate and re run the scenario
pls check your correct defined Z item category the document flow is activated or not.
Thanks.

Hi Experts,
I am using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE for doing PGR of an inbound delivery.

Can anyone knows how Document Flow can be updated using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE??

Hello Puja,
Goto transaction SPRO, Go to Logistics Execution - Shipping - Basic shipping Functions - Configure Clobal Shipping Data, In this put a tick on Document Flow Update.

Document flow in consignment fill up incorrect?

Hello Experts,
This issue is about consignment pick up
the problem what the user is getting is---
1)the user created a consignment fill up order
2) while the consignment pick up order is not showingallowing inward delivery of second line items.
I would give an example-
consignment fill up order-100 units
consignment pickup order- line item 10=10 units
line item 20=20 units
line item 30=30 units
in the document flow of the consignment fillup order is not showing the consignment pick up of line item 20,30.
meaning: in the document flow , the line item 20,30 are not updated and cannot be known unless we can open,see and compare with consignment fill up order. Now how to overcome this problem,is this a configuration error or program error?
Regards,
Raj
Edited by: Nori Raja Sekhar on Nov 3, 2008 10:56 AM

Dear Raj
- Ensure that the item category for all line items is KBN in fillup order
- Ensure that for line items 20 & 30, you have created fillup delivery and proforma invoice
- Ensure that the schedule line category for fillup order is E1
- Similarly, for consignment pickup, ensure that the item category is KAN and schedule line category is F0

Update Document Flow - delivery -- bill

Hi Experts,
I want to "deactivate" update document flow between delivery and bill for an item category (say e.g. ZTAN). Where can I do that?
In other words in table VBFA when I put "Follow on" document as my invoice #, I do not want to see my delivery # as preceeding document.
I have checked VTFL, at item category level, there is NO field as "Update document flow"
also I have checked VTFA, at item category level, there is NO field as "Update document flow"
(in VTAA and VTLA, at item category level, there is field as "Update document flow" - but this is not my query)
Please help
Typewriter

Hi,
I donot understand your post. What shall I accomplish with your suggestion? For my better understanding, please elaborate.
In VTFL, at item category level, Copy requirement is to check if all the criteria are met, if yes, then copying information is done from Delivery to Invoice. I think, this has nothing to do with populating information in document flow.
Could you please advice, where exactly is the configuration for "Update doc flow" in VTFL and VTFA?

Unwanted Document Flow (VTAA)

Hello experts,
We are working through our configuration in attempt to disable the document flow off contracts of deliveries, goods issue, and billing documents. Through VTAA we have found the option "2" Create doc. flow records except for delivery/gi/billing doc, and we enabled the option. Despite enabling it and confirming that we are pegged to the correct sales doc type and whatnot, the document flow table is still being updated with those documents when created. Is there some other piece of configuration we need to examine to fix this?
UPDATE: Added a screenshot of the program SDVBFA21 which I found simulates what would need to be retroactively cleared from the document flow table based on the current configuration. So that program confirms that the test deliveries/goods issues/billing document should be removed from the table, meaning our configuration profile is current per the requirement we are attempting to achieve, but I do not understand why they were ever added to the document flow table to begin with...
Appreciate any feedback!
Message was edited by: Kelby Rubenstein

Hello,
In VTAA at the item level you can alter the system decision to carry out doc flow all the way through to the billing document in the case of contracts. We've elected to alter our system so that contracts only provide document flow to their sales orders, then the deliveries, goods issue, and billing document pegs to the sales order instead of all the way up to its contract.
After debugging on Friday, we discovered that the sales order is inheriting the incorrect document flow indicator (VBAP-UPFLU). We are now trying to determine why this field is not inheriting what is configured, but we believe it may be due to user exits where the assignment of a contract is copying a lot of fields into the new sales document...

SD document flow line items

Hi all,
Can we exclude some line items to appear in the subsequent documents of sales order?
Like if I had 5 items in a sales order, I only want three of them to appear in the delivery doc or Advanced ship notice. The other two are filtered using item category or material type.
Is it possible to do that?
If yes, please shed some light on it.
Thank you,
Krishna Dev.

In the copy control for sales documents there is a field that determines whether the document flow must be updated. This is set up on the item level by document type and item category (PSTYV). This is part of the SD configuration and has nothing to do with ABAP. See transaction VTAA.
And no, this cannot be done by material type, unless you are ready to do a core modification.
