DVMC Saving Potential for table COEP, MSEG

Hello Experts,
I must curious to know the answer for the below interesting question.
We have implemented the Solution Manager DVMC tool for few production systems. After we setup the query and BPM to analyze the saving potential calculation for the few of the table as per the DVM Sizes growth below question applies.
The Saving potential for table COEP, MSEG (for system like 4.7 systems) says to do the deletion potential. For example, the table last analysis 146.149,000 and out of that the deletion potential = 146.093,987
So based on the saving potential, we want to make a strategy looking at the deletion potential operational possibilities. However, looking at the SAP standard best practice documentation, we see the table like MSEG and COES u201Cdeletion cannot be usedu201D which is quite contradictory towards the report result in the DVMC report for saving potential.
I believe, there should be some reason, the Table analysis says about the deletion potential for these tables. I must curious to know the reason for the same.
Can anybody also explain how we can use the DVMC report either for Saving Potential or archiving potential in the operational activity? Like after we find the result, according to deletion potential, which records to be deleted etc.

Shashi

Hello Shashi,
I wouldn't delete any table even if DVMC recommends so. I don't know your DB vendor but most of them (like DB2) offers table compression for saving spaces.

when i do posting through sales order(VA02) or purchase order(ME22n) that custom fields in COEP get updated with controlling document
and through BADI AC_DOCUMENT i m updating that custom field in COEP.
but when i do manual posting through FB50 controlling document is generated in COEP but i m not able to update that custom field
because in this case BADI AC_DOCUMENT is not get triggered.
is there any BADI or User exit or enhancement spot for FB50 through which i can update that custom field in table COEP

How to fetch the data from the table COEP for WBS element,cost center,,,,,?

Hi,
I would like to retrive the data from the table COEP ,based on KOKRS,BELNR fields.
I need the output for Cost centre, cost element, wbs element,net work ,activity.
These values are storing OBJNR ,OBJNAR_1,OBJNR_2,OBJNR_N3.
But here always these field are not giving the correct values.
for example : for one record COST CENTRE vlaue is storing in OBJNR_1 field,
for one record COST CENTRE vlaue is storing in OBJNR_2 field,
for one record COST CENTRE vlaue is storing in OBJNR_3 field.
Here SAP has used a generic approach for this.
How can I dispaly the values in this case ?
Thanks and Regards
Srinivas.N

Hi,
I am asking, how can we say OBJNR_1 value alwyas belongs to cost center ?
USPOB is not filling always.

Error while saving to ekpo table

sir,
PO was created with currency japanese YEN using Tcode ME21N . The net price was showing 142502300 (in JPY).
My problem is when checked in EKPO table , it saved with a value 1425023.00 So this is decimal value error. what can be done to correct this.
Regards,
Srinivasa Murthy

for japaness yen there is no decimal places in the amount field sap as stanadrd save with two decimal places. so during display u will see the amount without decimal which is correct value but in backend sap saves with 2 decimals.
so there is no error in sap. it is sap stanadrd process of saving data.
for eg the percentage value for condition records is saved by multiplied by 10 .

MKPF & MSEG Performance issue : Join on table MKPF & MSEG taking too much time ..

Hello Experts,
I had a issue where we are executing one custom report in which i used inner join on table MKPF & MSEG, some time join statement took 9-10 min to excute and some time execute within 1-2 min with same test data .
i am not able to understand what the actaully happing .
please help.
code :
   SELECT f~mblnr f~mjahr f~usnam f~bktxt p~bukrs
    INTO TABLE itab
    FROM mkpf AS f INNER JOIN mseg AS p
        ON f~mblnr = p~mblnr AND f~mjahr = p~mjahr
     WHERE f~vgart = 'WE'
       AND f~budat IN p_budat
       AND f~usnam IN p_sgtxt
       AND p~bwart IN ('101','105')
       AND p~werks IN p_werks
       AND p~lgort IN p_lgort.
Regards,
Dipendra Panwar.

Hi Dipendra,
if you call a report twice after another with the same test data for data selection, then the second run should be faster, because some data are remaining in memory and needn't to be caught from database. This will be also for the following third und further runs, until the data in the SAP memory will be removed by other programs.
For performance traces you should try to test with a first run.

Problem with Fetching Million Records from Table COEP into an Internal Tabl

Hi Everyone ! Hope things are going well.
       Table : COEP has 6 million records.
I am trying to get records based on certain criteria, that is, there are atleast 5 conditions in the WHERE clause.
I've noticed it takes about 15 minutes to populate the internal table. How can i improve the performance to less than a minute for a fetch of 500 records from a database set of 6 million?
Regards,
Owais...

The first obvious sugession would be to use the proper indexes. I had a similar Issue with COVP which is a join of COEP and COBK. I got substanstial performance improvement by adding "where LEDNR EQ '00'" in the where clause.
Here is my select:
          SELECT kokrs
                 belnr
                 buzei
                 ebeln
                 ebelp
                 wkgbtr
                 refbn
                 bukrs
                 gjahr
            FROM covp CLIENT SPECIFIED
            INTO TABLE i_coep
             FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_objnr
           WHERE mandt EQ sy-mandt
             AND lednr EQ '00'
             AND objnr = i_objnr-objnr
             AND kokrs = c_conarea.

To find which reports uses the tables MKFP & MSEG

Hi Experts,
I have a list predeof reports. I just want to know if these reports uses the table MKFP & MSEG. Is there any predefined function or report available in order to find this one?
Valuable answers will be rewarded.

Billing Document not released to accounting / Accounts determination:
To resolve the error, you can analyze account determination in the billing document. Process:
Goto T.Code: VF02 & Enter Invoice number
Next (On the top most strip) goto Environment
Next (Select Environment) go to Account determination
Next (In Account Determination) select Revenue Account Determination (first option)
This will list all the condition types in the Billing document & analyze each condition & check for which G/L accounts is not determined.
Possible errors:
1. VKOA not maintained for required combination
Solution: Maintain the combination in VKOA.
2. Account Assignment of Customer / material not maintained in Customer / Material Master (If maintained in combination in VKOA).
Solution:
Option 1 (Standard solution):
step 1: Cancel Billing Document --> Reverse PGI --> cancel Delivery --> Cancel Sales Order
step 2: Maintain Customer master / Material Master correctly.
step 3: Recreate sales Order --> Delivery --> PGI --> Invoicing.
Option 2:
Force the Account Assignment Group of Customer / Material through Debug in change mode of Billing document, which will release Billing Document to Accounting.
3. Account Key not maintained in Pricing Procedure:
Impact: This may create accounting document, but if condition type, which are to be posted to account, but do not have account key maintained in pricing procedure, it will not be post the relevant condition type to G/L account.
4. Billing Document not being released to accounting --
In Material Master, there is some link between Profit Centre & MRP Type. If one of it is not maintained, erratically few documents get stuck while releasing Billing Document to accounting. Few of course get posted.
Solution1: Cancel Billing Document --> Reverse PGI --> Cancel Delivery --> Block the sales Order & Create new sales Cycle all over again after rectifying Material master.
Solution 2: (Temporary Solution) In Debug mode in Billing, force the Profit Center in Billing Document with the help of Abaper. But ensure Material master is rectified.
From FI Side, you require to check that all the G/L account has been maintained through T.Code: FS00. G/L account being Master data has to be created in each client to upload through LSMW / SCATT / BDC.
In Billing Document in change mode (in the first screen where we enter Billing Document number), on the top most left hand corner, take a dropdown on Billing Document & select Release to accounting. Here you can get the under mentioned possible message:
1. G/L account not found
2. Cost Element not maintained for G/L account.
In both the above cases, FI consultant requires to take corrective action.
Pricing:
This is very specific & differs from client to client & may also differ based on scenario.
Write-up on Pricing -
In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure. Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level. Customer Pricing Procedure is determined from Customer Master. Document Pricing Procedure is determined from Sales Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the pricing procedure is determined, Condition records are fetched. If appropriate condition records are found, the price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is missing, system will through an error message.
In SD, the steps to configure Pricing procedure are as under:
Step 1:
Condition table: If existing condition table meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition table. Considering the requirement for new condition table, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Table (select the required fields combination, which will store condition record).
Step 2:
Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the requirement, we need not create a new access sequence. Considering the requirement for new sequence, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to be accessed. Here we assign the condition table to access sequence.
Step 3:
Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition type. Considering the requirement for new condition type, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Type. It is always recommended to copy an existing similar condition type & make the necessary changes. Here we assign Access sequence to Condition type.
Step 4:
a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar pricing procedure & make the necessary changes in new pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform the calculation. Considering the requirement for new Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Maintain Pricing Procedure.
b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing procedure the next step will be determination of pricing procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure in SPRO is as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Determine Pricing Procedure.
5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data, which is required to be maintained by Core team / person responsible from the client. During new implementation, the condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT, LSMW, etc.
It is assumed that document pricing procedure, customer pricing procedure , ... are in place.
Sales Document not assigned to Sales Area:
SPRO --> Sales & Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Header --> Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types --> Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas (do ensure to maintain combined Sales organization, combined Distribution channel & combined division. for eg: Sales org 1000 & sales org 1000, Sales org 2000 & sales org 2000, & so on ....
similarly for distribution channel & Division, so that the Sales area combination is available for assignment to Sales Document Type.)
Issues related to Customer Master data:
1. what is the impact of leaving customer pricing procedure & customer statistic group blank in customer master --> sales area data --> sales tab:
If Customer Pricing Procedure is left blank, Pricing will not be determined.
If customer statistic group is left blank, then data will not flow to standard reports.
2. Who maintains reconciliation account in customer master?
Ideally, reconciliation account is maintained by FI person, but if SD person is authorized & has the knowledge of which reconciliation account to be maintained, then even SD person can maintain the same.
3. Terms of payment appear in Company Code Data & sales Area Data. What is the impact of each? why is it not populated automatically, once it is maintained at either field?
Terms of payment from company code data is for reporting purpose & it is from sales area data that it flows to sales order.
It is a standard feature of SAP that it is not populated automatically if maintained at either of the field, but it is a must in sales area data & can be skipped in company code data.
4. Unable to select Sales Area for Customer Master Creation?
Most Probably either sales area is not defined or customization not done for common Sales Org & Common Distribution Channel. To maintain this configuration: SPRO --> Sales & Distribution --> Master Data --> Define Common Distribution Channels / Define Common Divisions

Adobe Forms - Table control data Saved in Database table through Web Dynpro

Hello Friends,
I Am facing a Problem in Adobe Forms through Web Dynpro.
i Want to Make Interactive online Adobe Forms - In Table Control user enter the multiple entry in the table control and after that Click on SAVE button , entry will saved in Database table.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.
Gaurav.

Hi Gaurabh,
For interactive form you have to check the property DisplayType = native and PdfSource should be a Context Attribute of type 'Xstring'.
For data retrieval, create a NODE and have all the required attributes within that node of AOBE form.
Fetch the data in WDDOINIT.
Also check, that the offline senario for this form is working.
Hope it helps you.

The above all code is not at all taking the index in Quality server .but in Development it is taking .In Quality server it is reading all datas without using the index and going Timeout ABAP dmup
Please, Suggest me some solutions.
Thanks in Advance.

Requesting guidance on how best to deal with removal of CreateElementSteps for tables when option to 'script validation for new constraints' is enabled during schema compare

I have a DeploymentPlanModifer subclass that is responsible for removing certain tables from a deployment plan under specific conditions. It is relatively trivial to find the
CreateElementSteps I need and subsequently remove them via
DeploymentPlanModifier.Remove(), but...
... if in my comparison I have enabled the 'Script validation for new constraints' option, the deployment plan will contain a
DeploymentScriptDomStep with a Batch containing AlterTableConstraintModificationStatements for tables with foreign key constraints. My problem starts here - there will be an orphaned
AlterTableConstraintModificationStatement for each of the tables that I removed. Obviously, execution of the generated script comes to a grinding halt when asking SQL Server to to alter a table that is never created.
I'm able to get around this by digging around in the aforementioned batches and removing the orphaned alter statements, but this seems really hacky, which makes me think I'm missing the proper way of dealing with this.
So... if anyone is aware of a more correct way of avoiding this problem, I would really appreciate finding out more about it.
Thanks in advance for any help. :-)

Hi Greg. Unfortunately there is not an easy solution here. Walking the deployment model, spotting potential issues and excluding them really is what you have as an option here. The alternative is to pre-process the dacpac to have it in the form you want,
but I'm not sure if this is an option in your case and it also has limitations.

Table COEP - OBJNR

Dear Gurus,
I want to ask about Object Number - OBJNR in table COEP.
As we know OBJNR is 22 digit char.
CMIIW, this object is represent: Controlling Area (digit 3-6), Cost Center (digit 7-16 )
and Activity Type (digit 17-22).
How about digit 1-2? Is this represent what?
Sorry for this question because I'm very not familiar in FI-CO.
I'm trying to create extraction to SAP BW and considering to use datasource
Thanks.
Regards,
Steph

Hi,
digit 1-2 is used as follow:
KS: cost center
PR: WBS
OR: internal order
PA: profitability segment
KL: cost center / activity type
BP: business process
Bye

Field MEGBTR of R/3 Table COEP

I would appreciate if anybody could let me know of the extractor for the Field MEGBTR of R/3 Table COEP.
Thanks
Mani

Hi,
Robertos answer is (as always ) correct. However the extractor 0CO_OM_CCA_9 will only extract the rows from COEP where OBJNR starts with KS or KL. The coep table also contain other objecs than cost centers for example postings for internal orders. The complete list of extractors that retrieves data from COEP (based on OBJNR prefix. Would be 0CO_OM_CCA_9, 0CO_OM_WBS_6, 0CO_OM_OPA_6,0CO_OM_ABC_7, 0CO_OM_NWA_2, 0CO_OM_NAE_2,
0CO_OM_NTW_2) - See SAP note 523742 for more info on mapping between CO extractors and R/3 tables. Although even all these extractors won't give you all data from COEP. In particular CO postings for Sales Orders (OBJNR starting with VB in COEP table) will not be extracted by any of these.
So if you wan't to extract any data from COEP I think that you have to build a generic extractor (e.g if you wan't CO postings for Sales orders - objects starting with VB). See this post for details
CO Extraction for Sales Orders
