External process

Hi all,
I want to execute a unix command as external process in a process flow. I enter the whole name (with path) into the field command/value.
By executing it, I get the message:
rm /export/home/oracle/mus: not found
Could anybody help me?
Thanks a lot..
[email protected]

Pierre,
For the external command on Windows I also specify the full path to the executable. For me, that works.
I guess in your case you would make a call to rm and pass /export/home/oracle/mus as a parameter.

Confirmation of external processing operation

Dear All,
I would like to know is it possible to prevent the confirmation of an external processing operation (pp02 control key) until the Purchase Order associated with that operation is received (GR) ?
I checked the forum for this, but was unable to find any inputs & also in customizing where i find only settings for confirmation of orders & not at operation level.
Hope my problem is clear, await inputs.
Regards,
Vivek

Yes,
it can be done but no through std SAP setting...but with user exit.
Check this exit

Product Costing:External Processing

Hi Gurus,
My doubt is I am comparing standard cost estimates of production client with another client which is its copy. The product cost estimate of a material, the cost component 'External Processing' is showing value 700 in PN client and 1000 in the New client. The cost element for 'External Processing is 700000000H as primary cost element and another as secondary cost element. I tried checking the GL account report in FBL3N regarding the postings happened in the GL accounts.
1. My question is why there is a variation of 700(of PN client) and 1000(in NEW client).
2. The second question is, from where these values are flowing.How we can trace back the flow of values for this particular cost component of External Processing' of a material cost estimate?
Is it anyway related with Exchange Rate differences? If so, how and where it is linked?
I'll be really grateful for your answers.
Looking forward for you reply soon.
Thanks,
Prithwi.

Hi,
I have checked the valuation variant 001. The startegy sequence is same only. There's no change in configuration settings as the new client is copy of production client only.
I wanted to know, the 'External processing' data or values from which.postings. How it gets picked up and how we can check its origin?
Thanks in advance for your help.

How to pass BindVariables to External Process (Workflow)

I build a shell script (unix) which accepts a command line parameter .... a "filename"
The "filename" is a dynamic name!
The workflow is build with a custom input parameter "filename" ... which I want to pass to an external process, which calls this shell script:
How can I do that ?
ExtProcess:
Command : Val=/bin/ksh
Parameter_List : Val=":/home/bin/myscript.sh:${Task.Input}:"
(Binding ":Filename" replaces the whole value, sorry)
Succes_Threshold: Val=0
Script : Val="" , Binding=":Filename"
... does not pass the value of ":Filename"
Script : Val="/tmp/fixed.name"
... works only with fixed names
what I really need is something simple like:
Parameter_list : Val=":/home/bin/myscript.sh:${Parameter.Filename}:FIXPARAM:"
or Script : Val=":${Parameter.Filename}:${Parameter.Param2}:${Parameter.Pram3}"
... similar problem I had with FTP, I found no way to pass dynamic filenames or other parameters (except LOCATION Parameters)
... similar problem I had with EMAIL I found no way to include PARAMETERS to the mail body (except to replace the whole body by 1 parameter)
Is there a solution or is in current version OWB 9.2 only "static" parameters supported.
I also was missing to pass OUTPUT-parameters for example of a TRANSFORMation,
I also was missing some urgent SYSTEM-parameters for self identification of the process(like "SYSTEM.TASK_NAME" "SYSTEM.EXECUTION_AUDIT_ID" "SYSTEM.ITEM_KEY" )
Thanks for all hints and best regards
Martin

Actually... After further investigation this may not be needed. I'd be interested in the answer, to understand what is possible.
The concept of passing parameters in the OWB workflow designer is rather limited, in my humble opinion. Sure, you can designate a "start" sequence that takes a parameter and you can pass that to mappings/transformations but there is no chance for feedback. Ie, if I manually (or through some rigged script) execute the flow with the "PARAMETER" then it will be able to bind. What about mid-flow. IE, select the record to be "processed", then call a "flow" with that as a parameter.
Am I mistaken? Is there a way to expose the "out" parameters of a mapping, or the return of a "transformation function" as "OUTS" in the process flow.
Of course, in a world where everything is OWB and in the DB one can leave data in tables, and pick it up on the other mappings. HOWEVER, most BI systems involve external retrievals, etc. that need a bit more "intelligence" then "run and return 1,2,3" . :)
Hope this is helpful for product feedback. If I'm mistaken on the WF capabilities please clue me in. :)
btw, I'm an OWB fan, certainly. The progress over the past two years has been excellent.

Nikolai,
I have created a simple process flow which only calls the external process. The script is on the same host as the process flow is deployed to.
I have used two diffent values for the command parameter.
1. I placed the full path of the file in the command parameter and left the script parameter blank:
COMMAND: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT:
2.I placed the bash command in the command parameter and the full path in the script parameter.
COMMAND: /usr/bin/sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
Both of these appear to work as they print out the statements inside the script but the files that are supposed to be removed still remain.

External Processing with material Provided to Vendor

Dear All,
I have a problem in external processing of Maintenance Order.
When i have created external processing operation.
I have assigned one component for that external operation which i have to send to vendor.
After saving the Maintenance order, system is generating Purchase Requisition for that operation.
That purchase requisition is having account assignment category F. But it is not picking the item category L and the component assigned for this external operation is not flowing to the purchase requisition.
Please guide me to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

Hi
For external service we can use PM03, for that we have to create service sheet and proceed further.
But here my requirement is, just like PP external processing they are doing one operation outside.
If you look at PP routing, Operation overview there is given external processing data and there will be subcontracting tick.
If we tick the sub-contracting button, then system will pick the component assigned to that operation to the Purchase requisition.
If we don't tick that button, system will not copy the component to PReq. .
Is there any option available here in PM?
Please guide me.
Thanks & Regards
Bala

S.O.S PROBLEMS COMUNICANTING EXTERNAL PROCESSES IN JAVA UNDER LINUX

I don't get what I want, I'm interested in sending input to the C subprocess
thorugh its stdin getting it by getoutputStream method, and then read its
answer from its stdout getting it by getoutputStream, then question is that I
can sent de first string and read the first answer but I can't repeat it
again, and I would like to begin a dialog with the subprocess so I need to
send many messages and receive its answer to it, but many times, not just one,
by the moment I got it but just one, if any body can help with this please

The problem is with the leesalida method.
There you are reading form the output sream of the process usingBufferedReader.readLine.
readLine returns null only when it gets to the end of the stream, or here the stream ends only when the external processes ends.
You can modify your code like this:

External processing in the plant as vendor under same company code

Hi friends,
In our project under implementation we have following scenario.
we have 4 plants under one company code. one of the plant does powder coating as manufacturing activity. Other 3 plants sends components to the powder coating plant for coating purpose.
In IDES Standard scenario of external processing, a purchase requisition is raised thro info record maintained for the external operation. This scenarion works if the vendor is external.
In our case, the vendor is one of the other plant under same company code/client. Also the powder coating needs to be done without any profit margin for internal customers.
Our FICO guys have the opinion that, intra plant can't be a vendor; because raising invoices among plants under the same company codes is against accounting standars.
If anybody has faced this type of scenario nd found the solution, Please share it here.
Thanx in advance

Hi Shiva
STO scenario
You can not create only STO as you need to send the unpainted components to another plant through SAP & have them painted back with only payment of paining charges without margin.
Subcontracting scenario
You can not create the Subcontracting PO as this is not your external vendor.
Does this involves excise?
Then the PR/PO ctreated should be of combination of STO and subcontracting. If so this is not possible, as item category is the only field in PR/PO that identifies it as STO and subcontracting. obiviously it cann't have 2 values.
My suggesion on this as...
Create a BOM for painted component with sp procurement key as produced in another plant(paining plant). this will have STO cretaed for paining plant. This will inturn cretae a production order in painitng plant.
The BOM in painting plant will have the unpainted component with sp procurement key as produced in another plant ( fabricated plant) this will have STO created for unpainted components.
I hope I am clear & not confused you much.

Production operation external processing goods receipt for subcontract PO

Hi PP/MM experts,
I searched for existing forum entries but no luck or final answer.
I have a question about the goods receipt for a subcontracting PO that is account assigned to an operation of a production order (external processing for operation).
The following situation:
Production order type PP02 - external processing
There is only one operation in the production order with control key PP02 - external processing. I marked the control key PP02 in configuration for 'Automatic goods receipt'.
I created a PO for the PR is the operation
When I'm doing the goods receipt of the subcontrating PO a 101 posting is triggered for the finished product and components are consumed by 543 O movements. So far so good. But the inventory for the finished style is not increased. In MIGO I even see that even a batch number for the finished product is determined. Looks like that only the service is posted but not the inventory. I assumed when I mark the operation contol key for 'goods receipt' that the MIGO will also post the inventory for the finished style.
Reason for PP order and not only subcontract order is that we want to manage capacities of external suppliers with PP capacity planning.
Is that a bug in our system or normal behaviour? We use SAP ERP 6.5 with IS AFS.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Best Regrads,
Harry

Hi Rizzi and all others,
thanks for your replies.
I'm using a production order for the following reasons:
We want to use capacity planning for external suppliers. At least to have some overview of work they have to do in a month
The external assembly can also be changed to internal assmebly and for that reason we will start always with the same kind of document -> production order.
But one more thing what is really confusing. In the materials document list MB51 the 101 movement for the service is listed even if the inventory was not increased. That is really confusing for the users.
Best Regards,
Harry

Sub-contracting External Processing PP-PI

hI,
I am trying to create sub-contracting order through SAP PP-PI.
I have a FG - X, with components X1 & X2.
I have 3operations and 3 phases in the Recipe for X.
The 2nd phase is having the control key for external processing, because of which i had to assign Purc.Info record to this phase.
( Pls note that its not allowing me to enter a PIR of material/vendor combination, hence had to create for Material Group/ Vendor).
Now when i Create and release a Process order for X, there is a Pur req created but it has no material, and i cant change anything in this Pur. req.
Please help.

Hi,
When a Preq is created for external processing, the material is not copied in to the Preq. This is std SAP behavior. However with EhP4, this functionality is made available. You need to activate this functionality and then some code changes has to be done in the BADI in order to copy the material from order to Preq. I don't remember the BADI, but I am sure there is one.
Thanks

Tracking of wip material in externally processed operation

Hi All,
As part of production process, most of the operations would be processed internally in the manufacturing plant and some of the operations would be
performed by vendor at his own premises (outside the manufacturing plant). Material will be called as WIP (work in process) material if it completes some of the operations (two operations completed out of four operations) in production process without forming its final product shape
WIP (work in process) material will be sent out to vendor against externally processed operation in production order. We’ve a business requirement to track the WIP (Work in Process, No inventory yet in system) material status details such as when was the WIP material shipped out to service provider by purchasing department or returned back to production floor from stores after receiving from vendor for externally processed operation in production
order
The scenario is explained below and the process in SAP would be as follows.
1. Production order would be created for
respective header material (semi-finished/finished) with required quantity with five operations to be processed, for example: OP10 (turning), OP20 (drilling), OP30 (milling), OP40 (shaping), OP50 (powder coating). OP10, OP20, OP40, OP50. would be processed internally in the shop floor of the manufacturing plant
2.After finishing the internal processing at OP10 and OP20, Operation no 30 (OP30-milling) for the respective header
material would be processed externally by sending the partially processed part(WIP) to vendor outside the manufacturing plant. In SAP, the partially processed part doesn't have any material code and will not be updated in the inventory and will be treated as WIP (work in process) and automatic purchase requisition for external processing through production order is generated as follows
For OP30 Milling (Externally processed operation), from PP module perspective, we would be maintaining a control key which supports external
processing in the Operation 30 (OP30, external processed operation - An externally processed operation is not carried out within own organization, but is assigned to a vendor, who then does the work) with relevant information such as material group, purchase group, description of operation, cost element to track costs in the production order.
When the respective production order is saved, system creates a purchase requisition for external processed operation 30. We can see
the number of the purchase requisition on the external processing tab of operation details screen of OP30 in SAP Production order.
Purchasing department generates a purchase order against the automatic purchase requisition generated in production order, which informs the
vendor which service is required.
With reference to the purchase order – service oriented, the WIP material (no material code exists in SAP) is sent out to vendor. After the material has been processed, the vendor delivers the material back to manufacturing plant. When a goods receipt against purchase order is posted at manufacturing plant, the system displays the received quantity on the external processing tab of operation details screen of the operation - OP30 in production order and also displays in order information system reports. It also possible to track the cost incurred for external operation. However, Goods receipt against production order does not cause an increase in the quantity and value of the warehouse stock of header material of production order.
The above mentioned process is not a subcontracting process - where in we send raw materials and receive semi-finished/finished materials from vendor
3. The respective partially processed part (WIP) received from vendor is sent to shop floor to complete the rest of the process
in OP40 (shaping) and OP50 (powder coating).
4. After OP50, the respective header material (semi-finished/finished) of the production order will be received (goods
receipt against production order) as inventory in respective storage location.
With reference to the above process, we can track the status of receipt of WIP material from vendor after processing at his premises;
however, we can’t track when WIP material ( after completing processing at OP20) was sent out to vendor for external processing by purchasing department and when WIP material was returned back to production shop floor for further processing at OP40 after receiving from vendor by stores.
Please provide your feedback for the possibility to track the details of WIP material (no material code exists in SAP system) sent out to
vendor and received back at shop floor from stores for external processed operation of production order
Thanks for help in advance.
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Process what ever you have explained is the right process with respective to operation wise subcontracting as per SAP Best practice. As you rihtly said in operation wise subcontracting PR is created with any material code. Once PR is created after PO and GR actual cost of that particular operation will be seen on the order. I believe sub contact operation after GR can be confirmed through confirmation transactions. Since it is subcontract operation specfic to peration seperate inventory is not tracked instead cost is reflecting directly on order
If you to want to track the inventory of the intermdiate product then you need to have a seperate material code for intermediate product (Eg A) received after second operation and do seperate subcontacting PR for seperate new material (Eg B) by issuing the intermediate material (Eg. A). Upon receivng GR for PO inventory will be updated for the new material (Eg B).This new material can be issued to your final product which has operation 0040 and 0050. Here two different material codes will be required.
Else follow the suggestion given by expert Caetano.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramagiri

External processing badi BAdI PP_OM_BD_BANF_HEADER_MATERIAL

Hi,
Please any one can help me regarding this badi implementation and explain the process flow of the scenario.
I have 5 operations and operation 3 is external processing
1.   once purchase order is created which material is supplied to vendor.
2.   once external processing operation is done for which material the GR is done to recieve from vendor.
Thanks
Krishna

Hi Ritesh,
              Thank you for the reply, But My question is if the header material is done GR wat about the inventory levels the same material shows work in progress and again it is showed in inventory. correct me if i am wrong.
Another question: my bom is like this A header
                                                           B Raw material1 assigned to operation 1
                                                           C Raw material2 assigned to operation 2
                                                           D Raw material3 assigned to operation 3
Now to make the operation 3(external) we have to issue the assembly of B,C along with D, if i am correct the purchase order will show the component D only to issue. How to issue the header and its tracking if possible.?

Pass output parameter from mapping to external process in a Process Flow

In Process flow, how do we pass an Output parameter from a mapping (generated by a post mapping operator) into an external process (shell script)?
I have a mapping that generates an output parameter and I would like to pass this parameter to an external process (a shell script) with a process flow. Is this possible?

Hi Norman,
Unfortunately in the current release, you cannot do this. What you can do, is store the value into a table and read it in the external process, or write it into a file and read it from there. The next release will support passing output parameters from one activity to the next.
Thanks,
Mark.

Can SAP get material number in Purchase order in external processing?

I have a question that:
As I know, Exeternal processing is a service, so that Material number can not be shown in purchase order converted from PR for external processing. Here, PR can be automately generated from transaction CO01 to create an external processing production order. Meanwhile, for external processing, purchase info record is created without material number only with material group.
So, I want to know that if there any solutions to show material number in purchase order generated for external processing?
thanks,
best regards,

If therer are no production order, How can I get finished products from internal activity and external processing?
Now, external processing in our company like this:
1.create an purchase info record. (type:subcontracting, with material group, but not material ID)
2.Maintan external processing data in external operation where external processing happens.(control key: pp02, external processing data: info record, purchase org. net price, cost element etc.)
3.create a production order for the material.(one of the operations is an external processing operation described like step 2)
4.Purchase requstion is changed into Purchase order. (Purchase requestion is automately created with the production order)
5.MIGO to receive goods from the purchase order.
6.finished the production order and delivery goods.then the production order is DLV.
In step 4, purchase order can only get the production order ID, but there are no material ID shown in it. Only method to show material is that maintaining a description text in the external operation, then, purchase order item could show material in material text(but, here, there is no material ID derectly from info record or production order).
this is the big problem now for our company. No material ID can be automately carried into the purchase order.
Hope you help..
thanks...

How to execute External Process activity in flow

Hi,
I want to run a pl/sql procedure as an external process in a process flow (OWB904 on WinNT). The procedure is run from sqlplus in a .bat file. I try to follow the example in the documentation; setting the value of the Command parameter to c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe and the Parameter List value to ?/c?c:\\temp\\test.bat .
The flow deploys ok and executes without errors, but the procedure is not run (I can tell because it contains an INSERT and COMMIT, but the row is never inserted). I'm pretty sure the connection info is correct; the test.bat file executes ok when run in a 'dos' window. I am obviously missing something here....
Any clues?
Regards
Rolf

Hi Richard,
The <HOME>\owb\log\owbrt.log.6 file contains the following:

Rings any bells for anyone ??
