ECM-parameter effectivity-history

Hello Team,
For my client we are using ECM with parameter effecitivity concept and below is my problem
When i use normal ECR without parameter effectivity and perform the changes in BOM when the final approver goes to reporting he can see what all changes has been done whether added or deleted etc....
But when we use ECR with parameter effectivity, i am not able to see any history in reporting section. How can the final approver come to know what all changes has been made in that BOM. Offcourse any additions or quantity changes can be seen as ECM is there next to that. But how can one see the consolidated changes if any part number has been deleted using that ECM even change in qty or additons have to be compared with older BOMs which is difficult.
Please help me on the same.
regards,
sai

Hello Sai,
Try if you can use 'ECM Information System' : Tcode- CC07.
Hope it will help.

ECM - Parameter effectivity

Hi Everybody,
In one of our current scenarios of change management we need to add two parameters to the change master data. Like Cost of the ECR implementation, Project name. If we use parameter effectivity i think we can only get one parameter in the change master screen while creating ECR. Should i go for BAdi for this case or is there any other alternative.
Thanks,
Rajesh.

Hi Rehman,
Thanks for your reply !! I am new to BAdi, can you give me some detailed procedure
Thanks,

No routing selection in order through parameter effectivity

Hi,
I have created routing and BOM in CEWB with parameter effectivity with change number. But while creating order in co08 with sale order no; i am getting the error message as no routing found. The sale order no we are mentioning as parameter effectivity no while routing, BOM, Change no. creation. With the change no; i am creating the routing and bom. But in while order creation i am not getting the routing and bom. Please help me where i have done the wrong. weather in parameter effectivity creation or is there any integration of order creation with sale order no ? Please guide me why i am not getting the routing to my order. And i have to get the operational data of parameter effectivity of 1311 sale order only. i have created routing and bom with parameter effectivity 1308 to open interval.
Regards,
Mastan.

I assume these 3 tyres are 3 different material number in BOM at 3 different position and get selected with a selection condition as per user assignmnet of values? in same way in super routing there can be 3 different operation to which these materials can be assigned or there can be only one operation which will work as " Tyre assembly"
These 3 tyres are three different materials namely pirelli_tyre, goodyear_tyre and MRF_tyre. They are all in the same position in the BOM. Depending on the value assigned to the characteristic Tyre_type any one of the above 3 materials will be selected.
I created one sales order and my when converting the planned order to production order it throws the following error. I am able to proceed with a warning for both 'yes' and 'know' options. Let's say I click yes now, and then I proceed and then I go to the 'Production order create: Header' screen. Now when I click the button 'operation overview' on top I am able to see an operation which is not at all present in my super routing. Don't know how this happens .
Whereas for another component (dirtbike_Frame) in the BOM I created a separate routing with one single operation and assigned it to the material (dirtbike_frame) apart from assigning it in the super routing and writing the correct selection condition so for this material (dirtbike_frame) the routing gets picked properly.

How is the -gm parameter effecting query runtime in detail?

During test I found out, that the parameter -gm seems to have some dramatic impact onto runtime of queries. In Detail I found a something like factor 0.5 to 0.6 inside my tests for a smaller system:
-iqtc 12000
-iqmc 12000
-iqlm 1000
-gm 100
-m
-iqrlvmem 6000
When setting -gm 1001, runtimes for a single query goes up from about 10 to about 40s.
So how is the -gm parameter effecting IQ in detail?

When IQ starts it allocates threads based on the -iqmt parameter. If you don't set it, then it is computed as something like:
     -- 60 threads for each core up to 4
     -- 50 threads for each core after 4
     -- number of connections (-gm option)
     -- add 6 more just for good measure
Let's assume that your IQ instance has 16 cores and you have -gm set to 100 . IQ would allocate 946 threads (60*4+50*12+100+6). We have to add 1 more thread to this, too. Before we can allocate threads, we have 1 thread that is running to start the server.
On my 16 core system, here are the threads allocated at startup for various values of -gm:
     -gn 10: 857 threads
     -gn 100: 947 threads (notice the +1 from the above algorithm?)
     -gn 1000: 1847 total threads
There are two major deductions from the thread total: IO threads and SA/user threads.
Of the threads, 40% are supposed to be held in reserve to handle IO tasks (sweeper and prefetch threads are set to 10% each and apply to main and temp cache) via the Prefetch_Threads_Percent and Sweeper_Threads_Percent options. I am double checking this area just to make sure. There was some work done on this in the v16 timeline.
For user threads, I don't see you having set -gn. Assuming that -gn is not set, then IQ will reserve 5 + -gm threads (105). Not a problem. IQ will grab 5 more threads than are allocated via the above algorithm, but that's OK.
Things go a bit wrong on you when your -gn is set to the recommended value of 1.5 * -gm. What happens is that we are computing the number of threads needed based on -gm (100 or 1000). However, we are actually allocating threads based on -gm (105, 1005, 150, or 1500 depending on the default or best practices used).
Imagine that -gn is set to 1.5x -gm. Of the 1847 threads allocated, 1500 are held in reserve for user connections. Read that as threads for the catalog only. There would be just 347 threads left over. But don't forget the IO threads either. Now all of a sudden there are no threads left for any work in IQ. We are thread starved. When IQ gets into a thread starvation mode, we have little or no threads left over to do work in IQ. At that time, we use the one guaranteed thread that each user connection has to do all work. This holds true for worker thread starvation as well as IO thread starvation.
One of two things is happening in your case. You are either thread starved and forced to run everything single threaded or your system has so many threads that it must spend too much time maintaining threads that are not being used.
If you can run sp_iqsysmon in '-debug' mode you can look at the "Thread Manager" section to check out the thread usage and allocations.

Parameter Effectivity and BAPI_NETWORK_COMP_ADD

Any suggestions on how to set/pass parameter effectivity data when adding a component using BAPI_NETWORK_COMP_ADD?

Hi,
It's really interesting. The field you are referring to has a unique data element and domain. They are not being used anywhere else. Also, Field is not getting validated again in this FM. What I would suggest is
If the networks earlier created were created using a BAPI in a program, you could use the field in this also.
Else, based on your requirement you have to choose the value. For ex, If thro' WBS use '08'.

Engineering change management working with parameter effectivity

In Engineering change management
i have activated parameter effectivity &
defined parameter profile for DATE,SERNR,Kombi1-Customer(combination of Date & Customer name- Kunnr) in IMG settings
i am able to work with Date & SERNR But when i choose kombi1
i am getting the following error message
"No entries in database for object KUNDE_LO table AEEF"
i checked with table AEEF thier is no field KUNDE_LO
How to customize effectivity type Customer
is there any thing i have missed ....

Hi Srinivas,
KUNDE_LO is a data element , what ever kombi1 is defined i think that does not have any values maintained in the system.
or
Check whether any user exits or BAPI's used bringing the customer specifications.
You can also check the data element existence u might have done that .....

Steps for Parameter effectivity

I have not yet worked in Parameter effectivity. So can anyone pls let me know the detailed steps to work on it. SAP documentations are little confusing in case of creating new effectivity parameters...it states "You can assign those values to an effectivity parameter that are allowed for the assigned data element. For example, the data element CC_SERNR is assigned to the SERNR effectivity parameter. As any strings up to 18 characters long are allowed for CC_SERNR, the same character strings can also be assigned to SERNR"...not very clear.
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
Bascially what it means is that the values you can have for the parameter effectivity has to be within the rrange. So Eg you create a parameter effectivity for data element SERNR , that has length 8 ,therefore the maximum range you can setup is 8. Eg for material it is 18. You can find the details on these data element in SE11.
The following link gives lot more information on parameter effectivity.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/55/5fcc36df2ea85be10000009b38f839/frameset.htm
You can setup your own parameter effectiivity in OS60/OS61/OS64 using different data elements. Then you can create a a change number with that parameter effectivity. Eg in CC01 if you create change number parameter effectivity SERNO 10 - 20. Then if you change a bom in Cs02 with this change number, that change will only be valid for serial number between 10 - 20. Any other serial number will not have that change affected.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Amber

Material field not apprearing with parameter effectivity.

Hey SAP experts,
We are using serianumber parameter effectivity in ECR. Now we have one small issue the column material is not appearing next to the columns upper limit serial number and lower limit serial number.
I tired all the SPRO settings and MM settings, basic settings field selection etc....but nothing worked out....
Can i get some help here please

Photoshop Effects History (like AFter Effects)?

Hello everyone,
I've been using photoshop for a couple years now, but have just started using after effects and love the Effects Controls Tab where you can see all the effects applied to each layer. Is there anything like this possible in Photoshop? I know there is a history, but it's the whole document history. There isn't a history for each layer is there? If no to all of the above, will Photoshop down the road ever consider this? I think it would be extremely helpful to see the effects applied to each layer and then be able to access them again. Sorry if there is this function and I just don't know about it yet.
Thanks everyone

No there isnt a history for each layer.
When you say "effects" do you mean layer styles?
[For example: You create a layer and add an outer glow and a gradient overlay. Ten steps down the road you tweak the gradient overlay. 20 more steps and you want to revert back to the original gradient overlay.]
If this is correct, im not sure how beneficial it would be or how many users would need such a function. You can save your layer styles and re-apply them to any object you want 10 days from now. (click "new style" in the layer style dialog box).

Order confirmation parameter effect

Hi SAP Friends,
Please tell the effect if we will not maintain the order type-dependent parameters & Carry Out Overall Maintenance of Plant Parameters ?
Please reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandra

If you have copied form plant one to plant 2, then yes it will copy all the parameters from plant 1 to plant 2
If you just maintained plantb parameters in OPPQ , then it will not help to create production order.
The combination settings of order type and plant is first done in order dependent paramaters level. i.e. in OPJH..you are just creating order type, but in dependnednt type setting you are connecting plant and order type and do all the setting for a plant and order type.
/hence you cannot create order in a plant w/o setting in order typem dependent parameters.
hope you got the point, or else come back

Using Parameter Effectivity

How do we ensure that hardware identified as model-unit effective gets issued to the next higher assembly with the same effectivity in SAP? After defining MBOM components and the network as being model-unit effective, how does SAP ensure the effectivity.

Thanks for the response. I'll try to be more clear. We have used date effectivity on all our BOMs for years. We now want to switch to using a customer specific effectivity. Is there a good method to switch to the new effectivity on all the existing BOMs. I'm wondering what the best way is to switch all BOMs to use the new effectivity. The only thing comes to mind is writing a utility that would take out new change numbers for each and every BOM with the new effectity.

Quantity effectivity parameter for ECM (LO-ECH)

Hello,
Our company uses Engineering Change Master records with no parameter effectivity (just by the date) to control BOM changes effectivity. Recently we received internal request to add ability to control ECM effectivity by quantity of assemblies produced.
The business case can be described with an example:
BOM:
Line item: 0010 component: material1 valid from: 01/01/2009 valid to: 12/31/9999
Line item: 0010 component: material2 valid from: 08/01/2009 quantity: 300 pcs
Explanation:
The line item 0010 of the BOM has u201Cmaterial1u201D assigned valid from the 1st January. A request comes from the customer to produce 300 pieces of the assembly with material2 instead of material1. Start of the production was scheduled to the 1st of August. Once 300 pieces are built material1 is set back to line item 0010 of the BOM.
We are aware that production orders covers this scenario well but the request came from a business unit that runs repetitive production (no production orders).
Our research of SAP provided effectivity parameters showed that none fulfills this requirement. We are looking for your advise how this requirement can be accomplished u2013 either with new ECM effectivity parameter or any other mean.

Jacek

New business requirement for ECM changes to BOM item detail

Hello SAP ECM gurus,
I need your guidance on below requirement from the customer in ECM.
We have 'Date effectivity' in our system i.e. object changes become effective on 'valid from' date.
We also have a custom enhancement where BOM header status is controlled by the 'post approval' process via workflow.
i.e. BOM status is changed to 11 when 'Complete Change' status is set on OMR and changed back to '01' automatically when 'Release Change' is set on OMR.
We have a new requirement from business as described below:
For ex:
2 components (COMP1 & COMP2) are added to BOM through ECR1 effective from 01-AUG-2011 till Infinity
2 more components (COMP3 & COMP4) will be added to the same alternate through ECR2 effective from 01-SEP-2011 till Infinity.
ECR1 changes are made and OMR status set to 'Complete Changes' changes i.e. BOM status is 11 effective from 01AUG2011 till Infinity.
At this point of time, ECR2 is created. When changes are being made to the same BOM using ECR2, COMP1 & COMP2 (added through ECR1) appear in the BOM.
This is not desirable for the customer. They do not want to see COMP1 & COMP2 to appear when changes are being made to ECR2 as ECR1 is still not post approved. They expect COMP1 & COMP2 to appear in the BOM only when ECR1 is post approved.
How can we control effectivity of COMP1 & COMP2 such that, they become available in the system ONLY WHEN 'Release Change' is set on OMR?
Can 'Parameter Effectivity' be used in this scenario?
Thank you very much for your advice and guidance,
BK

Hi JH thanks for your quick reply,
Let me describe it more specific, I have two material FG and SFG. Material FG is maintained with valuation type so when we do goods receipt for SFG it's asked to input valuation type in batch field. In stock SFG material qty is separated for each valuation type like batch.
Now i want to maintain in BOM for FG, where component SFG has fix the valuation type / batch so that in production order we don't have to choose manually. Do you have any idea ?

Arman
