Function to create DO in Merchandise Distribution

Hi,
Can some one tell me the function which is called during Goods Receipt for Central PO using allocation?
I cann find where to debug.
I need to see if the DO can be created as per site order.
Currently, the DO is created as per warehouse order in FRET
Thanks

Hi Vinícius,
I believe it's SAVE_TEXT you should be using.
Add a break-point for this function and update your text manually in transaction VL02N to confirm it's syntax and input values.

Edgar

Delivery not created in Merchandise distribution - WF30

Hi Experts,
I am came accross an issue wherein delivery not created for merchandise distribution.
It is automatically created at the time of goods receipt.
We are using flow through process.
On same day, three PO created via allocation table. Each PO had its STOs linked to it and same article in it.
For two POs, merchandise distribution happened automatically on goods receipt.
For third PO, it failed for same article.
I can see in WF30, there is FT qty populated in adjust button.
That means qty is adjusted per STO.
But then delivery not created.
I am wondering why is is not created for one PO but processed successfully for another two POs.
Article master is not chenged.
Can anybody please advice, what could be the possible reason for it.

Sagar,
For the article in the third PO, please check what storage location is being picked up. Check the cumulative ATP quantity for this article/storage location (use Co09 with checking rule B). There maybe a shortage of stock.
Thanks,
Suhas

Merchandise Distribution (WF10) Modifications Anyone?

Hi everyone,
As the subject suggests, i'm trying to figure out if anyone has been involved in or has modifiied WF10?
Below i've highlighted 3 areas we want to improve, but please let me know of any changes you've made.
We've been using Merchandise Distribution now for over 12 months and find the standard functionality just isn't delivering expected results as it's fairly limited / under developed compared with most Retail functionality.
1) Not being able to select input STO document types into the collective process, thus generating a distinct output collective document type. (Input type driving output type)
- At our organisation we've a number of document types to segregate demand types (Allocation, Replen, Range review etc), the standard solution just groups them together into a single collective, therefore loose this segregation at out DC where they provide value added services (special labelling / packing etc).
- Ideally we would want to do multiple runs of WF10 for each DC to generate a Collective By Doc Type. Has anyone done this?
2) The Delivery Due Date on the collective is not related to the STO Delivery Due Date, it's separately calculated at the DC level.
- If we happen to create an STO with an allocation with a due date of a months time (pre ordering for a range review maybe), then the collective is generated with the standard lead time, which then requires manually changing, if we don't it gets closed far too early in relation to the STO's.
- Also we exclude the weekends from out store level due date calculation when ordering internal from the DC, collectives don't have any awareness of this or config available, so the two documents are always out of sync.
- Ideally we would want this to be based upon the STO(s) Net of the lead time between the DC and Store, to allow for the inventory to be processed prior to the store requiring it.
3) There is no real way to group STO's by delivery due dates, to create a Collective that has "clean" STO due dates contained within. You can select the procurement period and schedule line interval etc, but this doesn't group STO's into collective. We could run WF10 many many times going into the future for individual days, but this doesn't sounds viable really and even still wouldn't produce the right result.
- We basically find we group all sorts of stuff together, all of which actually need delivering on different days, which in our fairly complex and flexible supply chain just doesn't work well.
- Ideally it would be a single collective run(by doc type), which grouped STO's and split collectives by the STO due dates
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Many thanks,
Dave

Hi Prabhu,
Thats been most helpful indeed, thank you!
We met with SAP today and discussed, they recommended that for the selection by document type would need to be a modification and recommended that they should do this as a customer development, rather than develop in-house. In truth i think this is the best approach due to ongoing support.
I would be really interested to find out a little more, as there are so few organisations using WF10 and it's a fairly underdeveloped area of SAP retail.
Two things i'd be particularly interested in is:
1) Do you have anymore information on the other changes you said were similar to what i mentioned (i'm assuming splitting by due date and due date calculation changes?)?
2) If possible would you be able to share with me on email which organisation it is that had these change made, as our organisation would be keen to speak with them on this. I know this isn't always possible for a number of reasons. If this is ok let me know and i'll send you my email address.
Kind regards,
Dave

Merchandise Distribution: Taking existing stock before buying externally

In merchandise distribution,
- for pull, when creating a collective purchase order (WF10),
- for push, when generating follow-on document (WA08),
what are the configurations to make the system take the existing warehouse stock into account before trying to procure from an external vendor?
For example (pull), a store creates an STO for 15 EA of article A, and there are 10 EA of it at DC, so the system create a PO for only 5 EA.
For example (push), the quantity of article A specified in allocation table is 15 EA, and there are 10 EA of it at DC, so the system generates a PO for only 5 EA and an STO for 15 EA.
I'm aware that there is a check box "Dels with Stock Reduction" in the site profile, but even if I check it, the system still does not take the existing stock into account before procure externally.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Hello VT, the beauty of these merchandise distribution functions includes:
- To move merchandise more quickly throgh the distribution center.
- To reduce costs for merchandise processing and storage.
None of these functions considers actual DC stock, because they are meant to be used without this stock.
What i´ve seen in companies over the years is that DC stock is sent to the stores or returned to vendor before the implementation of these functions, because one of the mayor goals is to have zero stock of these articles at DC.
Anyway, you can try with creating your own function module for the distribution profile. SAP provides function group WRF4, you can create your own and assign it.

Retail : Merchandise Distribution and decentralized WMS

Hello Dear Experts !
My customer uses SAP Retail and a decentralized WMS.
We're setting up a FT flow, but the WMS requires to know that a GR is subject to distribution using the link Vendor PO-Store deliveries.
So, the standard business process is not applicable :
- Create the store's STO/SO
- Create a global vendor PO
- Create the GR.
- Adjust the quantities
- Create the deliveries
This because at the interfacing of the vendor PO, we can't adjust the quantities (as the GR is not done...)
I'm trying to convince the customer this is NOT the best practice, but...
Does anyone have any suggestion how I could set up such a flow using standard functionality ?
Thanks for your help.
Didier.

Can't use function in creating record group

Gurus,
This question is for developers. Is this true one can't use
function in creating record group. I am using form5.
thanks,
ZW

I figured out the issue... they changed the way Group Calls are limited.
Here's a full explaination - and a suggestion for a behavior fix: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Please-Fix-Group-Video-Voice-Calling-Limit-Beha...
Long story short, you can't do a video calling at all if the group has more than 10 people in it total (including you).
Also, you can't do voice calling in groups with more than 25 people.
Text chats are limited to 300 people (or so I've been told by Skype employees). I've been in a chat with over 100 participants though so I know it goes that high at least.

For class createion i am using
BAPI_CLASS_CREATE
For local dependency i m using
CAMA_CLASS_MAINTAIN_DEP
For Global dependency i am using
CAMA_CLASS_ALLOCAT_GLOB_DEP
Now my problem is that I am able to create Class and only 1 of the dependency either local or global whihever function I am calling first
But while debugging program I am able to create Class as well as both dependencies successfully
Please can any one tell while this is runing successfully only at the time of debugging
Code -
have used -
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_CLASS_CREATE'
EXPORTING
CLASSNUMNEW = TCLASS-CLASS
CLASSTYPENEW = TEXP1-KLART

Merchandise Distribution Collective PO with SLS - Minimum Order Value

Hi,
My organisation is using Merchandise Distribution with SLS to generate collective PO's at our consolidation platforms before generating either STO's or PO to the supply source.
We're utilising Cross Dock and Flow Through to support our processes but in the case of Cross Dock, we're essentially asking the supply source to pick/pack the stock for the final recipient, therefore it can be quite an expensive process for the supply source (but clearly not for us).
Before we implemented this the supply source used to simply receive orders directly from the store and within this process we applied Minimum Order Values, as per my previous statement it can be expensive and picking a couple of small items for one store and having to put them on a pallet is not economical for them in either warehousing or transportation.
I'm looking for some broad suggestions on how this could be achieved whilst utilising collective orders.
Our store STO's generated by MRP (and soon enough F&R) are large STO's that are not truly supply source specific, they are consolidation platform specific and the collective orders generated off the back of them are supply source specific.
The key issue i see is that we're asking for a select group of lines within the store STO to meet an MOV of the vendor OR that we somehow ensure that the store STO's are supply source specific and then enforce some MOV logic.
Obviously this isn't standard but it's causing our organisation big supply issues, so any thoughts or advice would be fantastic.
Many thanks

Hi ,
You can not do directly in ME59N. Check for user exit for this t code.

Using a function to create a report

Hi,
I have a report created with a select statement, I would like to create a function which will return the result of the select statement and use this function to create the report ?
Does anybody know how I can do it ? I mean how to create a function returning a select statement, something like :
function return_table(){ return (select * from emp;)}
And how to use this function to generate a report ?
Benn

There is an application report that give you a listing of your region source and allows you to search the source and gives you links to edit it.
Application Reports>Page Components>Search Region Source
So you shouldn't have to keep it in a separate file.

HR ABAP - Generic method or function to create a PD object & Relat (IT1001)

Hi,
This question is related to HR Abap .
Do we have a generic class method or function module which can be used to create any PD object(O,S,C,...) and relationships (A008, A003, 007,...)between these objects .(not RH_INSERT_INFTY) . It should also trigger change pointers .
And also do we have a decoupled or generic infotype(1000,1001,1002,....) classes in PD side also similar to PA infotype classes(CL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_0002, CL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_0008,....) . It should also trigger change pointers .
Thanks in advance

Generic function to create infotypes 1000 and 1001 is RH_INSERT_OBJECTS
Classes are CL_HRBAS_INFTY_1000, CL_HRBAS_INFTY_1001, etc

ABAP Functions for creating vendor

Hello,
I would like to create a program for creating vendor automatically by uploading a text file, where the text file contain the vendor information.
Can I ask are there any ABAP function for creating vendor? I have searched a function BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE, but I don't know how to use it.
Can anyone give me some ideas?
Many thanks
Sunny

Hi,
BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE is a online BAPI which calls the XK01 screen internally. There wont be any import or export parameters for this BAPI. If you have to upload from a text file, you can try with either of the options
1) Use the standard program RFBIKR00 to upload the vendor from the flat file. check the documentation of the report for details
2) Create a BDC recording on XK01 and upload the vendor from the flat file

Couldn't include CNTN01 in z function group created at SE80

Dear All,
         I am involved in workflow development for determining agent for a step.
         But I couldn't include <CNTN01> in z function group created at SE80?
         How to do so?I will be grateful for your help.
Thanks,
S.Suresh

Hi Samson,
               Thanks for your reply.
               As you stated, <CNTN01> is found at the include file LSWEATOP under the function group SWEA.
               It implies that I need not include ,<CNTN01> in my z function group?
Thanks,

Function to create Input Dialog for Search Help

Hi Folks,
Is there any function to create the dialog to limit the search help result as the one that appears when you create the Search Help through the SE11.
This is because when I use F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST I'm just being able to set one value to restrict and hopefully the functionality of intervales, exclusions, etc that the search help dialog when created through the se11 does have and haven't found it on F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST.
If you can share a little example I really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gilberto Li

Hi
You can accomplish by using search help exits..... search the forum by "Search help exit" and check my wiki on search help exit code.

LACK OF FULL PEN TOOL FUNCTIONALITY WHEN CREATING A SHAPE LAYER

Hello, I'm going through Chris Meyer's video course on being an AE apprentice and have spent over an hour on the following issue.
Here is what I know.
I know I am trying to create a shape layer, not a mask, to create a frame to surround the video of the green field on the attached screenshot. Therefore, I pressed "F2" to make sure I am doing so.
I want to define the borders of this picture frame by using the pen tool to draw a path on the layer entitled "Windy Peak".
I have highlighted that layer in my timeline.
This video was pasted on to a placeholder shape that I had created using Command Option "/" on my Mac.
I do have limited use of the pen tool, because it displays properly when I hover it above the borders of the video to be framed.
But I lack access to the toolbar controls I want to complete my assignment.
For example, I would like to create a gradient to define the internal coloration of this frame, but I have no use of the eyedropper when I click on the Color Picker.
Also, I am unable to access or manipulate any of the standard fill or stroke options for use of my pen.
This is what I know.
Thanks for your help! Matt
Message was edited by: Matt Dubuque to add the fact that the video had been pasted on to a placeholder shape image by pressing Command Option "/" on my Mac.

Thanks for pitching in Todd and Rick, I appreciate it very much.
As previously stated, I do have use of the pen tool, but it only has limited functionality as demonstrated by the path I created on the green meadow. My Tools Panel remains activated .
My core problem remains that I am unable to adjust the fill or stroke settings for my pen.
I have tried changing and resetting various work spaces and this has not helped.
I'm scratching my head here.
