Why Cost center is an External Object type?

Hello SAP Minds,
How does Costcenter and Person are classified as External Object types..?
What is the difference between External Object types and Internal Object types. I mean wht is the basic difference between them?
As i know Internal Object types are Org. Unit, Postion and Job,.
As Costcenter and Person are also part of Personal Planning why it became as External objetct types..
Experts please guide me.

Hi Vamsi,
While in personnel administration the person represents merely a type
of information object, in organizational management different object
types are processed. These are, for instance:
Organizational unit
Position
Job
Task
In addition external object types are also addressed. These represent
objects that do not belong to organizational management and are not
saved in its object structure, but that are quite important for organizational
management. These are, in particular:
Person from personnel administration
Applicants from recruiting
Cost center from cost accounting.

How to trigger a form based on object type and process type

Hi all,
I am new into SRM.. I have been asked to develop a form by cloning an existing standard form..
Using bbp_output_change_sf badi you can trigger the form by passing the object type but the scenario is such that depending on the object type and process type the new form should be triggered.
The parameter iv_object_type passes the object type but how could i pass the process type ?
In the badi I noticed an import parameter is_event that has a field called transction_type that carries the process type but this field never got populated when i checked using debugger.
Please help as to how i can trigger the form based on the object_type and the process_type.
Thanx in advance.

Thanx again Jay Yang.. Well is there any possibility that you could get the items that were confirmed..
Let me eleborate..
Suppose in the PO u order an item for 10 nos and 5 gets confirmed and u return 2..
Well in my case it is that i need to fill up a field Qty returned / Qty confirmed..
I was able to get the number of items from the PO by passing the the passing the parameter to the FM "bbp_pd_conf_getdetaill"
but i dont know how to get the number of items been confirmed..
The quantity field in the line item structure gives me the number of items returned..
Can u tell me how to get the number of items been confirmed....

Object type and object subtipe in configuration of Z component

I created one Z component and I need to have different configuration views. If I create configuration I have only <DEFAULT> value available for object type and subtype. How can I define other available object types for Z component?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Robert,
You can go to CRM->UI Framework->UI Framework Definition->Define UI Object Types.
These are generic Object types and can be used for defining configuration of any component.
Alternatively, you can create your own Object types and Sub Object types (hardcoded) in the method where you want to use them. You can look into method DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION in class CL_BP_HEAD_ACCOUNTDETAILS_IMPL for reference.
Thanks

No archive information found for object type and document type

Hi All,
When i try to view the print preview for a perticular doc type, system is giving the error as "No archive information found for object type and document type"
Diagnosis
    No information was found about optical archiving. This may be due to
    either of the following reasons:
    1. No valid archiving parameters were passed
    2. Your system is not configured for optical archiving
System Response
    Processing is cancelled.
Procedure
    Specify valid archiving parameters or check whether your system is configured for optical archiving
Regds,

Hello,
You are trying to Print & also archive by selecting the option Print & Archive.
You have to do archivelink configurations and then create document type and assign to the object type with content repository with archivelink table.
If you want to archive the spool or output then you have to use object type as DRAW. If you are archiving invoice document or letters or so on then you have to know the object type/Business object of the transaction.
Please note that for archivelink configuration, attachment will be either stored in archive server or in SAP database table based on business requirement.
Hope this will give you some understanding on archiving area.
-Thanks,
Ajay

Cheat Sheet/Listing of Object types and transactions they are available in?

Does anyone know how to obtain a listing of the standard object types and where they would be available?
We have already worked with the Travel Management Trip Docuemnts and I know that object type BUS2089 is available through the Object for Services area of transaction PR05. So we store entries in the TOA01 table for this object and they are available to us in the object services section.
But now we want to leverage the functionality we built and extend it to other areas. But I spent a lot of time today trying to find out what object could be used through transaction IE03 for an equipment record and finally found EQUI. Now I just have to test it out.
I see a lot of standard document types available as well and don't know what they are for - for Plant Maintenance work order notifications object type BUS2038 is there with PMONOTFPAP, PMIDAMAGE and PMIREQUEST already available. I didn't want to create a new one if these are available for work order notification images, etc.
It would be nice if there was a spreadsheet or listing that detailed each object type and where it was used in the system.
(I did try searching but didn't find this question/answer on a broad basis.)

Tarun,
Thanks for replying. I think that we are agreeing on the same details, but it doesn't really answer my question.
I guess what I am looking for is if I asked the following question:
     What object type is used when populating the object services link from within an equipment record via IE03?
How would you obtain the answer to this question - besides just knowing it?
It's the same way that I know the following:
     What object type is used when populating the object services link from within a trip via PR05? --> BUS2089
     What object type is used when populating the object services link from within a work order via IW33? --> BUS2007
     What object type is used when populating the object services link from within a wo notification via IW23? --> BUS2038
The last two were easy because it prompts you when creating an attachment. The first one someone told me the answer to.
We will be doing image links for many different documents (invoices, journal entries, HR employee records, etc) and I'm just trying to figure out how to know which objects to use. Once I know the object I know how to configure the OAC* tables for use.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Any experience with Object Types and Forms6i / 9i ???

Has anyone got any experience in working with Object Types and Object Views together with Forms 6i or 9i???

Hi AnneCarmen,
Check this small video, http://project02.businesscatalyst.com/Jing/2012-07-13_0508.swf
This is just an example where I am trying to demonstrate how the html embedded into the frame sticks to only one image and not to all the other images. Also, how to keep the thumbnails. Under menu options you can modify the transition and speed option as per your need.

Transaction SMOEAC does not display Object type and Object Name options.

Dear all,
When I go to transaction SMOEAC system does not display fields Object type and Object Name option instead displays an empty frame allowing only to create new objects.
System does not allow and display existing objects to edit.
Most imp with the same ID, I am able to see the existing objects and two fields "Object type" and "Object Name" on different machine. So there is no authorization issue.
My SAP GUI version where these fields are not visible is 640 Final Release with 6405.5.18.1016 version and Patch level 18.
My SAP GUI version here these fields are visible is 640 Final Release with 6404.4.14.1012 version and Patch Level 14.
Any idea what could be the reason?
Regards,
Sandeep Parab

With installation of latest version of SAP GUI 710 final Release resolved my problem.

Transaction KB16N business-object type and key for GOS

When attachments (notes, PC documents etc) are made to a manual cost allocation in transaction KB16N using GOS (generic object services):
what is the business-object type?
how is the business-object key constructed?
I suspect that the business-object type is BUS6036.
I suspect that the business-object key is the concatenation of the controlling area and the document number (using internal values).
Is that correct?
The reason for my question is that I have a program to display attached notes (and allow drill-down to attached PC documents) that works for various business objects (billing documents, purchasing documents and some FI documents), but I cannot get it to work for manual cost allocations.

Hi Michele
The transaction you are looking for should be SWO1
Then put the ex "BUS2000116" into the Object/Interface type and ...
Guess it will help you

Object Type and Bulk Collect/Forall

How can I bulk collect into (and read from) a collection which is a table of an object type such as
CREATE TABLE base_table (
     attr1 NUMBER,
     attr2 NUMBER,
     attr3 NUMBER,
     attr4 NUMBER);
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE rec_t IS OBJECT (
     attr1 NUMBER,
     attr2 NUMBER,
     attr3 NUMBER,
     attr4 NUMBER);
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE col_t IS TABLE OF rect;
In my pl sql code I instantiate the collection type and want to populate it with a BULK COLLECT - statemt:
PROCEDURE test IS
v_col col_t;
BEGIN
SELECT rec_T(attr1, attr2, attr3, attr4)
BULK COLLECT INTO v_col
FROM base_table
FORALL i IN v_col.FIRST..v_col.LAST INSERT INTO base_table VALUES (rec_t(v_col(i)));
END;
? If I do it this way I get the following exception on the FORALL insert:
PL/SQL: ORA-00947: not enough values
Edited by: user12149927 on 22.01.2010 00:48

try like this
CREATE TABLE BASE_TABLE
ATTR1 NUMBER,
ATTR2 NUMBER,
ATTR3 NUMBER,
ATTR4 NUMBER
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE rec_t IS OBJECT (attr1 number, attr2 number, attr3 number, attr4 number);
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE col_t IS TABLE OF rec_t;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test
IS
   v_col   col_t;
BEGIN
       SELECT   rec_t (attr1, attr2, attr3, attr4)
   BULK COLLECT INTO   v_col
         FROM   base_table;
   INSERT INTO base_table
      SELECT   *
        FROM   table (CAST (v_col AS col_t));
END;Regards,

My question is i m transferring this XML to a third party webservice and it does inserting into a third party application.
The problem is if you look under EnquiryAttribute tag ENQATTRIBSTRINGVALUE and ENQATTRIBTYPECODE i need this to be in lowercase.
As the xml is getting automatically generated how do i achieve this. I feel them in the uppercase is causing problems at the other end.
Any help appreciated

Use "..." delimiters in the CREATE TYPE (and in all your code that references the type).
