External services & external processing

Hi All,
What is the difference between External services & external processing of an operation.
Regards,
Manish

Hi Manish,
External Processing: Processing a particular operation in a set of operations of an order externally ie by using a vendor.
External Servicing: External servicing is used in Maintenance of Machines.
In both the above same control key setting is being used.
Hope it clears your doubts.

Generate External Service PR from Process order

Hi,
i want to generate a PR for external service on an operation fro the process order and then make a service entry sheet against it, is this possible in SAP? I set the control key accordingly, a PR is generated but it is not for external service, it is working well for subcontracting. It is possible to generate PR for external service manually but i want to automate the process.
Thanks

Hi Muhammad Naveed,
In PP cycle we do not use the concept of taking external services. External services is hiring a vendor to come to your plant and do the servicing for your equipment. This is followed in plant maintenance module.
In PP cycle, we only send the material outside to vendor for doing a certain operation using PR - PO (subcontracting scenario).
Hope you are clear.

Purchase Requisition Field mandatory in External Service processing order

Dear Team,
I am running one scenario, wherein i am creating an Corrective maintenance order and i am using control key for external Service processing and entering the services and its rate and releasing the order. Now While Releasing the order the purchase requisition field entry is mandetory. I want to set this field as optional only. I checked the settings in PM based on order type as well as checked in MM based on purchase requisition creation but i didnt fount this field set as mandetory.
can any body help me out for this
Regards
Amar Jadhav

Hi
I think while creating Order you have made PR field as Mandatory
Please check in OIAN.
Steps as follows
Follow the path as below in Config
SPRO>Plant Maintenance & Customer Service>Maintenance & Service Orders-->Define Field Selection for Order Header(PM)
Go to Field selection for Order Header Data
(OIAN)
Go to Influencing
Double click on Order type
Now Enter the required Order type and Press Enter
Check for Field for Reservation/Purc.req --CAUFVD-AUDISP
Make it input if it is Required Field.
Give Points if it solves
Thanks,
Manish

Process Data using External Service

Hi All,
Is it possible for MDM to call external services, like web service, to process the data? Sometimes we need advanced functionalities provided by other software to process the data in MDM. Is it possible to call them during the course of validation, assignment, workflow or other MDM procedures?
Thanks + Best Regards
Jerome

As Michael pointed out, we are using Enrichment Framework for calling extenal Services.
Enrichement framework is based on Adapters written as EJB.
In addition to the link provided by Michael, you can see this webinar
https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700002843092005E
Andreas Seifried of SAP, has clearly explained the process of setting up the Enrichment Framework with some examples as well.

Please help with error message invoking external service from BPEL

Yes, I'm new to Oracle SOA Suite and BPEL Process manager. I've searched the forums, OTN, and Google and have not found any description of this error message:
"oracle.fabric.common.FabricException: Number of SOAP body elements and parts do not match in operation: <operation-name>"
Using JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 and WebLogic/SOA 10.3.2.0.
The BPEL process was built completely using JDeveloper's graphical tools... I haven't done any raw editing of the BPEL files yet. What types of things might I possibly be doing wrong that would cause this error to occur? Any idea what two things the server is comparing and deciding that there's a mismatch? It doesn't look like it is even attempting to invoke the external service, but bailing out before that, thinking that it's going to send bad data. Below is a bit more detail.
Also, I loaded up the WSDL (same one that I gave to JDeveloper) into SOAPUI. Then I took the payload that SOA was about to send (see below) and pasted it into SOAPUI. SOAPUI didn't complain and the target web service accepted the message and produced a "success" response. It looks like the payload is correct, so I don't know why SOA is complaining.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Welcome to BPEL. Take a moment, and write "it's a namespace issue" on a sheet of paper. Post it near your monitor. It won't always be a namespace issue, but it's usually a good thing to suspect first! Is the namespace prefix ns1: defined somewhere? Does your XML that is being sent really match what the WSDL has for input to the UpsertEmp operation? The namespaces for each element level in the XML need to match, not just the lowest level.
When problems like this get really sticky, you can use TCP tunneling (obtunnel shell?) to capture what is really being sent to the server, and compare that to what is sent from SOAPUI. That's more useful if it's a subtle header problem, but you may get better error messages if you catch the BPEL message and send it using SOAPUI.
Good Luck, Andy

Default GL account (cost element) for external service contracts

Hi everybody,
question about GL being defaulted from contract for external services
The requirement is to have GL (cost element) being defined per service sub item defaulting to work order. Account assignment is unknown, because the costs might be settled later to cost center or AFE or else.
You could default cost element either through material group (which doesn't enable cost element to contract) or with account assignment category 'K' or 'F' which do not suit, cause the former requires cost center, that is unknown yet, whereas the latter requires assignment to order which doesn't make sense at all. Theoretically, it could be done with acc assignment cat 'U' , but cost element is not enabled with that category..
I was assuming that cost center which you are required to enter along with cost element while creating service sub item referring to some sort of internal accounting. The system also requires service sub item acc assignment category being aligned with requisition (which is 'F') and would in fact create PR referrencing actual work order number. But still, doesn't it make sense having contract referencing another order.. Also, we don't use default values for PM ext operation data.
So, the question is how to accomplish the requirement with Unknown assignment category? what is the point of defining cost center in the contract in given circumstances? Is there any work around exists?
Thanks in advance
Sergey

Hi,
Try this: IMG -> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and Settings for Order Types -> Create Default Value Profiles for External Procurement.
After that assign it to order type: Default Values for Task List Data and Profile Assignments.

MM-External service management pricing configuration

Hello Experts,
I am working with MM-External service management, and am facing an issue in Pricing during creation of SES (ML81N).
I have modified the standard Access sequence 0010 (Performance conditions) by inserting Table 104 to row 15.
The Condition table 104 has field KOMP-SRVPOS i.e. Activity Number.
The Contract (ME33K) has a service included with a Service No. 40000000 as shown below with a Gross price as 1/- . The said service is created in AC03.
A condition record is created against the Activity No 40000000 in transaction ML45 (Condition Typ: PRS) as shown below:
While creating SES for a Release order of the said contract for service No. 40000000, the expected result is that in the Access Sequence Row 15 would be executed and the condition record maintained in ML45 (14/-) would be picked up.
However, the access 15 does not get executed as the Activity No. field is not filled. It appears that the KOMP structure is not populated with SRVPOS under above circumstance. Error message 102- “Access not made (initialized field)”.
Instead the access in Row 20 is executed and Contract rate of 1/- is picked up.
In another scenario, SES is created on a contract where the said service no. (40000000) is NOT included in the service lines. Here during Pricing the Access 15 is successfully made:
What is reason for this behavior? As per requirement, many contracts share the same services and their price is uniform across
all contracts. Hence instead of the contract specific condition, the Cnd record maintained against Activity Number is required to be picked up. This makes sense because these prices change periodically and hence rate Maintenance is easier if only rate against single Activity number is to be changed rather than prices in all individual contracts.
Please guide.

Hi,
Instead of modifying the standard Access sequence , you can create New Access sequence for service but you need to add field SRVPOS for Activity Number in the following path:
SPRO --> MM --> Purchasing -- > Conditions --> Define Price Determination Process --> Extend Field Catalog for Condition Tables
Now create a new condition table as 977 with Service master or Activity number and then create New Access sequence as ZSER assign table 977and save. You can create your new service condition type as ZSER and assign New Access sequence ZSER to it.
For to have service condition pricing in service order/purchase order, you can use routine 11 in Requirement column for service condition type ZSER in Requirement column in MM calculation schema/MM Pricing Procedure. Different pricing for service and production
You should decide which condition price you want in service PO---- price from condition record or from service contract.

External Service Produrement Issue

Dear SAP MM Experts!
I have a Issue : There are two services to be procured externally.
1. Preventive Maintainence Serivces
2. Annual Maintainence Services.
The Costs of these services should hit two different accounts in the Offsetting entry: GBB
GR - for Services.
Now in the OBYC :
We have the Entry for 1. Preventive maintainence Services
VALUATION     GENERAL MODIFICATION      VALUATION CLASS       DEBIT             CREDIT
0002                  VBR                                         3200                         44201600        44201600
I have defined the valuation class in the service master AC03 : 3200
Now My requirement is for Annual Maintainence Service How will I maintain seperate G/L Account
By Different valuation class or ....General Mod.....?
any suggession?
2) Also In External Service Procurement there is GR ?
As in my system there is GR with 101 movement type generated as per service there is no good Movement ?
Edited by: SAP Consultant on Dec 26, 2008 6:25 PM

Dear Komal Gala,
Thanks for the relpy.
My scenerio is such that from PM( Plant maintainence order ) Purchasing Requisition is generated and then
After which the PO is generated and service entry sheet is generated ML81.
Service entry sheet the accounting document created in such a way that:
Repair and Miantainence G/L    Debit
GR/IR - Services                      Credit
And there is 101 movement type for the service.
Then in the MIRO
Vendor:     Debit
GR/IR :     Credit
What am I missing if there should not be any goods movement in services.
How to rectify the process.

A S

External service orders

Hi PM Experts,
How to maintain external service orders?

Dear bharat.c ,
By using Tcode OIOL, where you assign maintenance order type - service order with Sales doc type (desired & as demand by business process).Regarding control key:Only for Internal control key, confirmation is required. For external operations, confirmation is not required.
For more details refer below link :

External services in MM

Hi All,
Is there any standard content available for external services, I have checked out all the node there I could found only customer services. But here they want like external services i.e., like Tendering/purchasing details for painting a building, Garbage cleaning tender and maintenance tender details for Equipment etc., because here in all these services they wont follow the normal process like GR, GI etc., these services will be the general services.
In MM i could find external services under purchasing but it won't serve the client purpose, so if any standard content is available means it will be helpful.
Thanks,
Prabhakar

Hi,
This error triggers in case of own pricing procedure or changes to standard pricing procedure. Other reasons could be the price calculation schema is not set up for External Services Management or calculation schema not adopted from client 0 when system configured. Please refer following notes. Thanking you.

I have configured RFC connections in the administrative tools. Still it is not working.
What should be the reason behind this?
Thanks,

Hi Guys,
i have the same issue when calling a external service ...
I'm calling a web service located on my server, and i get the same error ...
I have a error while the method "loadbycustomkeys" is trying to get data from the web service.
in the error trace i find the same error id : nullSourceOrTargetForMapping which occurs in the readMappingRule method.
have you found a solution for your issue please ? let me know !

External Service data

Dear Friends,
I am in the process of preparing a report which contains all the details pertaining to a workorder . It is just an ALV form of document flow for a maintenance order . I don't know how to retrieve the service related data from the table for a maintenance order with external service like Service number, Service Description, Quantity , Unit and Service Cost . Please advice .

You cannot get this data directly, you have to use several tables and fields.
ekbe-ebeln
ekbe-ebelp
aufm-aufnr
aufk-auart
afih-gewrk
afih-iloan
aufm-werks
esll-srvpos
esll-ktext1
esll-extrow
aufm-menge
aufm-meins
aufm-budat
EKBE-INTROW
EKPO-LOEKZ
try some more tables and fields which suits your requirement and frame out a logic, then get the data.
