Follow up or Replacement Article

Dear Folks,
Can anyone advice me what is the purpose of setting up a follow up or replacement article in SAP retail? I had set up a relationship between two article as follow up articles but when I create a PO for the original article, it doesn't get replaced by the follow up article.
Please advice.
Thank you.
Junwen

Dear Junwen,
I do not know this issue in retail but in manufacturing environment I've worked with this.
I guess you mean the follow-up setting that is possible both in material master (MRP 4) and in BOM. This subject is called 'Discontinuation' in SAP.
If you want to replace your material with a new one you can use this setting to make SAP understand that during planning it shouldn't create procurement proposal for the old material. So, you can set SAP that from the time the requirement will consume the stock of your old material SAP will apply the independent / depenedent requirement for the new material.
So, SAP considers the PIR / DepReq for the old material until the point the current stock of it covers them (the requirements); from that point SAP applies the requirements for the new one.
E.g.
old material stock: 50 pcs
requirements: 120 pcs
SAP assigns 50 pcs of the old material to 50 pcs requirement. 70 pcs of requirement will be applied to the follow-up material.
So, even though no PIR exists for the new material, the new material isn't in the BOM, SAP calculates with it!

Follow-Up and Replacement Articles in SAP Retail

Hi everybody,
Iu2019m using SAP Retail and I need to maintain Follow-Up and Replacement Articles.
Iu2019ve created the Follow-Up Categories in the customizing and Iu2019ve assigned replacement article to the original article in transaction WRFFUART.
Does anyone know how the subsequent process works? If I create a Purchase Order or a Sales Order to the original article, does the system automatically replace it by the replacement Article? Iu2019ve tested this but there was no substitution.
Thanks in advance,
SN

Hi Barbara,
I am analysing the functions for Follow-Up and Replacement Articles in SAP Retail ECC 6.0 Ehp. 3. I created Substitution profiles (SPRO: Logistics u2013 General -> Material Master -> Retail-Specific Settings -> Settings for Follow-Up/Replacement Material -> Maintain Follow-Up Categories) and assigned replacement article to the original article in transaction (WRFFUART). I also activated Substitution Processing and Start Replacement logic in Background (SPRO: Logistics u2013 General -> Substitution Processing -> Activate/Process Substitution Processing).
I tested the process steps you posted (ME21N, VL10B, WSUBST_WORKLIST). There was no automatically substitution after creating the outbound delivery. And the transaction WSUBST_WORKLIST just shows u201CNo data available for selectionu201D.
I analysed the application and found the table WSUBST_WORKLIST. It handles the entries for substitutions. It was empty. When I fill the table manually with data and run the WSUBST_WORKLIST the outbound delivery and the purchase order have a new position with the follow-up article but the original article is still there, unchanged.
Why did the substitution not start automatically in background and why is the original article still in the purchase order and outbound delivery?
It is also interesting, that the material quantity changed. The purchase order includes five units of the original article and the substituted article has a quantity of eight. I guess the reason is a rounding value for procurement.
The ERP 2005 documentation on help.sap.com ([Assigning Follow-Up and Replacement Articles ERP 2005|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/a2/7c936660dc4da09a3a1d08ee7eeca2/frameset.htm]) describes a conversation factor for the units of measure of the original article and substitution article for each assignment. In the ECC 6.0 documentation ([Assigning Follow-Up and Replacement Articles ECC 6.0|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/a2/7c936660dc4da09a3a1d08ee7eeca2/frameset.htm]) this is missing. In the system I also could not find any type of conversation factor for Follow-Up and Replacement Articles.
Is this option not available in ECC 6.0 or where can I find it?

But when i create delivery sometimes the articles are getting successfully replaced and sometimes the substitution article is gettting locked. Have u ever faced this situation where in the substitution article is locked and under what circumstances it is happening.

Is there a way to recover library following hard drive replacement. No backup

Is there a way to recover library following hard drive replacement? No back up.

vazandrew pretty much laid it out for you. At least you've got 8GB of your library on your ipod, so it's not all gone - depends how much you want what is on there, whether you feel like buying a 3rd party ipod manager program.
Sounds like a hard lesson in making backups. : (
Here are some other ipod manager programs

HP Pavilion g6 Notebook recovery following hard drive replacement

After replacing a failed hard drive with the same Samsung/Seagate ST500LM012 that came in the notebook I now cannot recover the factory settings. I continue to get the "Bootmgr is missing" error, even after trying three different recovery oiptions through the HP Recovery Manager (Factory Reset, System Recovery and Minimized Image Recovery). I have also tried the various bootrec comands posted in the HP forums that are suposed to fix the MBR (FixMbr, FixBoot and Rebuildbcd) and it always seems to indicate that no Windows installation were found and therefore doesn't give me the option to "add installation to boot list?". I also reset the BIOS settings to original.
The closest I got to a successful installation was when I selected the "Minimized Image Recovery" option, however it had an error late in the installation and when it restarted it came up with errors that it could not find HideCMD.vbs and HideEXE.vbs in C:\system.sav\Util\TDCTWKS\.
I am using the Recovery Disk set that I made when I purchased the notebook, and it does not give me a Startup Repair option.
Am I just not following the correct procedure, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Time machine won't back up since I have restored from time machine following hard drive replacement. I am being told there is not enough space, however the back up is less than the hard drive size

We recently had the hard drive replaced on our Mac as part of Apple's replacement programme. Prior to sending it off for repair we did a final Time Machine back up, which was completed successfully. SInce getting the computer back we restored everything from the backup disk using Time Machine, which all worked fine, however now we are having problems with it completing regular backups. We receive a message each time telling up that the backup disk doesn't have enough space on it. It is telling us that it needs in the region of 370gb and only has around 30gb available. The computer hard drive is in the region of 350gb and the hard drive is a 400gb one. It is almost as if it is not recognising that the data already on the disk is the back up of this computer and is trying to complete a completely separate back up as opposed to just updating the backup already on the disk.
Has anyone else got any experience of this and therefore could give me some hints on what to do. I am reluctant to wipe the backup drive and start again, however I would prefer not to have to buy another hard drive if I can avoid it as this one is technically big enough
I look forward to getting some responses

Hi, I never use TM myself.
Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?
http://Pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Can't imaging something not being covered there.
PS. It's generally recommended a TM drive be at least twice the size of your main drive.

Numerous crashes just started yesterday after years of use w/o problems & I followed every direction in articles on how to diagnose crashes, upgraded to 3.6, (cont.)

malware/spyware removal, searched for backdoor.urlbot.c, etc. now today a pop-up firefox.exe - system error says "the maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single system has been exceeded. the length & number of secrets is limited to satisfy the US dept export restrictions. Really? Just curious that this pop up window isn't a spoof. Since this spate of crashing just started could I be infected despite TrendMicro security, Malwarebytes & SuperAntiSpyware being used?

I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account? I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.

Mobileme Data not replacing local iCal info

Need some help and can't seem to find the answer. Everything was syncing fine between my Cloud, iPhone and Macbook Pro. No, things only sync between the iPhone and Mobileme. I have tried replacing MBP data with data from MobileMe, but no joy. My MM calendars won't appear on my MBP. When I look at Calendars I have on MM, the are "Private" calendars. I have tried sharing them to myself, but this is not allowed. Any clue as to what happened and how to fix it?
Running iCal 3.0.8.
OS 10.5.8

Greetings,
Have you added the MobileMe calendar to your iCal following this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
If you have not, do so as MobileMe requires it.
If you have, go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts and remove the MobileMe account and then re-add it following the afore mentioned article.
Hope that helps.

Search and Replace values in the text field before values are stored to DB

Hi,
In my application there is a question - text area and answer - text field. Problem is, some answers are stored with the single quotes to the DB and I have a problem while retrieving it from the DB. I need to replace the 1 single quotes with 2 single quotes. The values are stored to the DB when the submit button is clicked.
So I am using the following javascript code:
italics
<script type="text/javascript">
function test()
var str="&P2_S1.";
document.write(escape(str));
</script>
italics
I need to call this javascript function, when the submit button is clicked but BEFORE the values are stored to the DB. How can i get this done?
Please let me know.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I planned to drop the Javascript idea.
Now, I am using the PL/SQL code. This is what I am planning to do.
When the user enters any word like this, Test's, this single quote should be replaced by some special character, #@@#, - what is the PL/SQL code for this?
Right now my PL/SQL code is:
begin
update test set S1=:P2_S1 where name=:APP_USER;
end;
so the replacing part should come somewhere before the update statement.... how can I do it?
from the DB when the values are retrieved, I use the following code:
select REPLACE(s1,'''','') from test where NAME=:APP_USER; // this works fine.
Please help me with the replace of the single quote before the update process...

Sharing IPhoto among multiple users on ONE computer. Question about article

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304890
Does anyone have an idea why the article doesn't mention using users/shared instead of creating a separate partition. It seems much easier, though from some of the other posts it looks like Permissions on users/shared may not work properly.
This seems awfully complicated for the machine that advertises itself as easy to use. It was much easier to share files on Windows.

I have followed the famous Apple article and have created a disk image with permissions ignored and the iphoto library in it. But in order to have the other user access the disk image, I have put it in the users/shared folder. As a result, when trying to access the library from the other user account, it says that I do not have enough rights to access the library. Any thoughts ?
Thank you.

Do You Know Your iPod Battery May Fall Under Warranty Replacement?

I have the extended warranty on my iPod Touch. My batter life was horrible... without wifi just playing music getting just over 3 hours. I also had a bad MBP battery. Called up AppleCare and got case numbers for both after diagnosis. Was taking a long drive to an Apple Store with Genus appt the next day...
My name was called and my Genus re-ran the MBP battery check finding it at fault and went to replace it... I said that I was having an issue with the Touch battery as well. He said "You know that the battery is NOT covered under warranty!". I said NO, if a battery is faulty that it is covered under warranty. I told him that it was THE reason that I purchased the warranty... He argued with me about it and I just couldnt believe my ears... I said that all he had to do was go to the Apple site and find the Touch battery warranty description... He started printing out the MBP battery replacement agreement and we had another video test to run on the MBP... he went in the back to get a DVD.
As I sat there I started hearing all the genus say to every customer with a iPod battery issue say that battery replacement cost blah blah blah... no one was asked if they had a warranty or that if the battery was found to be faulty the battery replacement would be covered. One guy came in with his son saying the iPod was a Christmas present and the battery was only getting blah blah hours... Again, he was told that a battery replacement would cost $$$. It was surely under warranty but he was still charged! ***?
My Genus comes back and runs the video test with a Howdy Doody DVD, UGH... anyways... he goes back to return the DVD and comes back with something in his hand, unwraps a Touch and tosses it my way. I asked him what was up? He says that the original Touch battery is not replaceable so here was a new one. I said OK... thinking, why was he giving me one after arguing with me about the battery NOT being under warranty???
So, I guess it pays off to know your warranty with Apple products as the Genus wont offer the facts. Maybe this was just at the Cleveland OH Apple Store. So, wondering if you know that your iPod battery may fall under warranty and if this is a national fraud by Genus?
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB591LL/A#overview "3. Service coverage is available for battery depletion of 50 percent or more from original specification."

According to this page -> http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
No. You will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data, songs, etc. Before you submit your iPod for service, it is your responsibility to keep a separate backup copy of the data stored on your iPod and reinstall that data. Please do not send any accessories with your iPod as they will not be returned.
Attention iPod touch customers: Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPod touch and does not offer any data transfer service.
Following service your replacement iPod touch may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need to restore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check iTunes to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.

Create or Replace Package syntax different in SQL Navigator?

Hi,
I compared the same piece of code in both toad and sql navigator.
In toad, the syntax for Package was as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE package body name_of_package
but in SQL Navigator, the same code is displayed as follows:
package body name_of_package
does SQL navigator hide the "Create or replace" keywords? or does it automatically know that they belong there?

Is Sql navigator an Oracle product? IIRC Larry spent already all his pocket money on buying Sun.
Kindly do not clutter up this forum with questions on products not developed by Oracle.

Replacing a Publisher hardware on CUCM 6.1.4

I've been told, if I replace our current Pub with new hardware, I will have to rebuild both subscribers. Is this correct?
We have currently one Publisher and two subscribers.
I have built a new Publisher on new hardware with the same CUCM version, migrated licenses and MAC and restored the backup database. When I tested the new Pub live, I came across database replication issues, the Pub couldn't see the two Subs or viceversa.
Is there any workaround or a fix, to replace the Pub without having to rebuild the subscribers.
Let me know if you have any info,
Thanks,
Zeek

Hi Zeek,
Sadly, the ability to replace the Publisher Node without
reinstalling the Subscriber Nodes was not introduced until
CUCM 7.1(2) or 7.1(3) Here is the related info for your
version;
Replacing the Publisher Node
Complete the following tasks to replace the Cisco Unified Communications Manager publisher server. If you are replacing a single server that is not part of a cluster, follow this procedure to replace your server.
Caution If you are replacing a publisher node in a cluster, you must also reinstall all the subscriber nodes and dedicated TFTP servers in the cluster, after replacing the publisher node.

REPLACE
Syntax Forms
Pattern-based replacement
1. REPLACE [{FIRST OCCURRENCE}|{ALL OCCURRENCES} OF]
pattern
          IN [section_of] dobj WITH new
          [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE]
          [{RESPECTING|IGNORING} CASE]
          [REPLACEMENT COUNT rcnt]
          { {[REPLACEMENT OFFSET roff]
             [REPLACEMENT LENGTH rlen]}
          | [RESULTS result_tab|result_wa] }.
Position-based replacement
2. REPLACE SECTION [OFFSET off] [LENGTH len] OF dobj WITH new
                  [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE].
Effect
This statement replaces characters or bytes of the variable dobj by characters or bytes of the data object new. Here, position-based and pattern-based replacement are possible.
When the replacement is executed, an interim result without a length limit is implicitly generated and the interim result is transferred to the data object dobj. If the length of the interim result is longer than the length of dobj, the data is cut off on the right in the case of data objects of fixed length. If the length of the interim result is shorter than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length are filled to the right with blanks or hexadecimal zeroes. Data objects of variable length are adjusted. If data is cut off to the right when the interim result is assigned, sy-subrc is set to 2.
In the case of character string processing, the closing spaces are taken into account for data objects dobj of fixed length; they are not taken into account in the case of new.
System fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 The specified section or subsequence was replaced by the content of new and the result is available in full in dobj.
2 The specified section or subsequence was replaced in dobj by the contents of new and the result of the replacement was cut off to the right.
4 The subsequence in sub_string was not found in dobj in the pattern-based search.
8 The data objects sub_string and new contain double-byte characters that cannot be interpreted.
Note
These forms of the statement REPLACE replace the following obsolete form:
REPLACE sub_string WITH
Syntax
REPLACE sub_string WITH new INTO dobj
        [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE]
        [LENGTH len].
Extras:
1. ... IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE
2. ... LENGTH len
Effect
This statement searches through a byte string or character string dobj for the subsequence specified in sub_string and replaces the first byte or character string in dobj that matches sub_string with the contents of the data object new.
The memory areas of sub_string and new must not overlap, otherwise the result is undefined. If sub_string is an empty string, the point before the first character or byte of the search area is found and the content of new is inserted before the first character.
During character string processing, the closing blank is considered for data objects dobj, sub_string and new of type c, d, n or t.
System Fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 The subsequence in sub_string was replaced in the target field dobj with the content of new.
4 The subsequence in sub_string could not be replaced in the target field dobj with the contents of new.
Note
This variant of the statement REPLACE will be replaced, beginning with Release 6.10, with a new variant.
Addition 1
... IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE
Effect
The optional addition IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE determines whether byte or character string processing will be executed. If the addition is not specified, character string processing is executed. Depending on the processing type, the data objects sub_string, new, and dobj must be byte or character type.
Addition 2
... LENGTH len
Effect
If the addition LENGTH is not specified, all the data objects involved are evaluated in their entire length. If the addition LENGTH is specified, only the first len bytes or characters of sub_string are used for the search. For len, a data object of the type i is expected.
If the length of the interim result is longer than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length will be cut off to the right. If the length of the interim result is shorter than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length are filled to the right with blanks or with hexadecimal 0. Data objects of variable length are adapted.
Example
After the replacements, text1 contains the complete content "I should know that you know", while text2 has the cut-off content "I should know that".
DATA:   text1      TYPE string       VALUE 'I know you know',
        text2(18) TYPE c LENGTH 18 VALUE 'I know you know',
        sub_string TYPE string       VALUE 'know',
        new        TYPE string       VALUE 'should know that'.
REPLACE sub_string WITH new INTO text1.
REPLACE sub_string WITH new INTO text2.
