Editing the Valuation/Reqt Characteristics in APO

Hi All,
We are working with Variant Config (ECC) & CDP (SCM 7.0) for a Mill industry & have a requirement to be able to edit/change the Valuation/Requirement characteristics on the Receipt elements like Planned Order/Production Order in APO.
So, when we create a Sales Order, the CTP run generates planned orders on the machines for us. The sales order gets the Valuation & the Requirement characteristics, while the corresponding Planned Order gets the characteristics. We want to be able to edit the Planned Order char's to change/insert some value on char's that are blank.
Is is possible to do that in APO?
Your inputs much appreciated
Thanks

Bob
Both your Options being valid technically and will work you need to now judge based on the demerits of the methods based on your situation
If you expect a huge CVC population and dont to have say a million CVCs you would want to use attributes thus effectively distributing it into two tables
Your Product Group to product will be one to many i suppose so the CVCs in your MPOS will be reduced by a factor or that ratio
Now this also means that you will need to look at a join of the table if you are using you Attributes as selections. So that is going to take more time and if your client is not patient youo may not want to take that route
Also your downstream planning process and your regular maintainance of your system needs to be considered.
Attributes are good if you want them just to navigate but if you want a forecast profile or if you want a realignment based on them it might end up to be a bit of a pain. I remember we had a post from you on this one and there are a few more points that are not favorable to Nav attribs
So youo need to weigh in the advantages each of these will give you and how much weightage you place on these advantages for your situation.
If you have the Prod group in ECC and can extract it i would prefer that option. Looks straightforward that way

  • RE: DELETION OF CDP:CHARACTERISTICS IN APO - FROM COPY

    G'day Team,
    I am looking for some help in regards to CDP: Classes & Characteristics.  The IT partner copied from Prod APO instance to a Dev syst.  The BDLS was not performed and they further copied APO masterdata to Dev.
    Can someone advise the /SAPAPO/ table this resides in.. Can you please advise the process to delete existing class / characteristics from APO, so that I can re-CIF transfer from ECC6  to APO.
    The previous client IM (Prod ECC6) has been de-activated.
    << Please do not offer points >>
    Many thanks,

  • Use of planning characteristics in APO DP

    I am using APO DP V5.
    In my planning object structure I have the following planning characteristics:
    - product
    - product group
    - customer
    Suppose I am extracting history data (based on despatches) from an attached ECC system.
    As I see things, I have two alternatives for the extraction of 'product group':
    1. Extract the product group when I extract the despatch data from ECC
    2. Model the product group as an attribute (display) of the product InfoObject, maintain this attribute as part of APO master data, and then read the product group from the product master data when I extract the despatch data from ECC.
    What is 'best practice' in this situation.
    Thanks, Bob Austin

  • Valuation of characteristics for unit of measure "" causes rounding diff

    Dear gurus,
    I am facing a problem on Goods Issue and Transfer Posting. My Material is maintained with Batch Specific Unit of Measure.
    Base Unit = Kg ,and Batch specific unit of Measure = BAL(Bales).
    My unit of Issue = BAL. For every bale at the the time of GR, i m storing the wieght of the Bales in the system. Now at the time of Issue and transfer posting, system is giving the following error message:
    "Valuation of characteristic for unit of measure BAL causes rounding diff"
    In unit = KG, Decimal places = 7, Decimal places rounding = 7
    In Unit = BAL, decimal places = 3, Decimal places rounding = 3.
    Kindly help me guys...
    Thanks

    Dear Johi,
    See SAP NOTE 147489 - Error XU033 in goods movement with active ingredient. If you doesn't need to check rounding errors:
    "For this use the following path: Logistics -> General -> Batch Management -> Define System Message Attributes (Transaction OCHS)."
    Edit the system message XU03 to no errors.

    Hi all,
    I'm using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA for opening all views of material. I I try to open COST and ACCOUNT views, still having same message error "First create the valuation-type-independent data".
    Also If I don't open ACCOUNT and COST views, the creation works fine. After in updating material, I set up the VALUATIONDATA / X structure but the error is the same.
    We use "split valuation on material" and the Valuation Type is a mandatory field.
    Any help?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can two people edit the same InDesign CC document?

    I am looking for a desktop publishing application that I can use to create programs for a high school choir and am experimenting with InDesign CC.  I'll do most of the work creating the progam, but the choir teacher at the last moment will have changes for me or will do them herself.  Either way she will be producing the final copy for printing.
    In an ideal world we would be able to edit the same file at the same time, me from my office and her from her classroom, not on a shared network, much like Google Docs.
    Does InDesign CC have this capability?  What steps would I use to approach this problem using InDesign CC?

    You can look into InCopy for text changes and put the InDesign file in a
    dropbox folder.

  • Not able to edit the report created on different data source.....

    I have a query regarding Report in OBIEE - reports developed from BI Publisher are specific to data source on which they have been created ??
    i have a sample report that was created on different data source, i have the corresponding RPD also. I changed the data source according to my DB and when i try to update/edit the report,
    on Analytics for adding a new column, it is generating a seperate new Query from QueryBuilder for that additional cloumn rather than adding up the new query with the previous one(existing report query). Is it because of mismatch of data source on which report had been created and on which it is being update ?? if it is the case, where do i need to make changes related to JDBC connection or others ??
    when i try to create a new sample data set and try to update it, it adds up the extra edited things to original query and works perfectly fine. can ny 1 help me for the same ??

  • After userA check out a page, edit the page and save, Sharepoint prompt userA have checked out the page

    In one of site collection at our SP2013 farm, we have "SharePoint Server Publishing" site feature and "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" site collection feature activated.
    One of user (UserA) create a page in a page library. The new page is marked as "checked out by UserA". It is fine.
    Then UserA open the page -> edit page -> key in something and "save". Then the page prompt him "The file Pages/subfolder/test001.aspx has been modified by i:0#.w|test\userA on 8Aug2014 xx:xx:xx" and ask him to choose "Leave
    this page" or "say at this page".  The date time is exactly the time he was editing the page.
    Whatever he choose will save the page and return to "View" mode (non-edit mode).
    It is not the only problem. When userA want to edit the same page again and save, it prompt him that "The page could not be saved because your changes conflict with recent changes made by another user. If you continue, your changes will be lost."!
    When userA choose continue or "check out". Follow screen show up:
    What can we do? In summary, userA cannot edit a page because userA have checked out! We have tried for different users have exactly same issue.

    We are having the same problem, the one thing we have found is if we use the Save Icon on the top right hand side of the page in the ribbon (next to follow), that Save works just fine.  What is causing the issue is when trying to use the Save Icon on
    the left hand side of the ribbon that has the dropdown options to 'Save', 'Save and Keep Editing' or 'Stop Editing'.  It doesn't matter if you just click on the main Icon or choose any of the dropdown options, they all cause issues with the pages.  
    Thoughts?

  • Editing the formula in batch characteristic

    The product is maintained with batch. The batch is created for the finished product manually at the time of confirmation. The batch characteristic values are maintained at the same time.
    One of the characteristic value is to be calculated by using algebraic formula which includes simple mathematical operations on the values of the other characteristic.
    for ex---
    characteristic a---- 89 (VALUE entered by user)
    characteristic b---- 1 (VALUE entered by user)
    characteristic c---- 5 (VALUE entered by user)
    characteristic d-----Automatic calculation based on above values & the formula.
    I want for characteristic D----
    Char D = {(a-0.03-0.07) * b + c} / d
    How can I do this???? What will be syntax for this???
    Please if anybody can help on this........

    Dear Ramanujan,
    I have received the reply from you & thanks very much for ur quick reply.
    I have tried the settings suggested by you, but having still the problem.
    Conversion factor is a batch characteristic which is to be calculated based on the other batch characteristics values entered by the user at the time of confirmation.
    I have maintained the objectdependency in the class as mentioned by you. The dependency type mantained is "Procedure". The formula is as follows
    $self.conversionfactor=((($self.actthickness-0.067)*$self.density)
    ($self.paintgsm$self.metalgsm))*$self.width/1000
    The formula is appearing in 2 lines in the dependancy editor. There is no syntax error. As well as the the dependency status is also "released".
    But at the time of confirmation, if the values of the other characteristics are entered, no calculation for the characteristic conversion factor is done by the system.
    Can you please guide on this???

    Not sure what you mean by "photo screen?" Do you mean your Photo Stream?
    In the Photos app there are several ways to view the photos. Tap on Albums. Your Photo Stream is one Album but there may be others including the Camera Roll, albums made on the iPad with photos from the Camera Roll, and albums of photos copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer.
    To remove albums from the Camera Roll, tap on the Camera Roll album to see the small thumbnails of the photos there. Tap on Select, tap on the photos to delete, then tap on the trashcan. The photos will then be moved to another album called Recently Deleted. They remain there for 30 days to allow you time to reconsider whether you really want to delete them or not. After 30 days they will automatically be deleted from your iPhone. But if you are sure you want the photos deleted from your iPhone delete them again from the Recently Deleted album.
    Albums created on the iPad with photos from the Camera Roll can be deleted in the same way.
    To delete albums copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer running iTunes are deleted by doing another sync. But before you click on Sync deselect the albums in iTunes. Then when you click on Apply or Sync the albums will be removed from your iPhone but they will remain on your computer.

    I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files? What can be done so that I can either open and see the layers or how can the sender save it in a way that it doesn't "merge" the layers in some way to just one?

    Could try saving as tiff provided layers and transparency are chosen at the time of saving. But it's hard to give a definitive answer as it depends on the final usage. For example PSD's tend to work better in applications like In Design in comparison with tiff.
