Dear Gurus,
I am having the problems of Invoice Output..... the default out put generated by the SAP is completely different from the hard copy of the Invoice of the Client. ppl say that I have 2 take the help of ABAPers to define the smart forms for the invoices of different company codes.... i had conversation with the ABAPers.... butthey are asking the format, wht ever the change we are looking for..... I am not be able to get the exact format.... how 2 provide this to ABAPers in FS format.
can any one pls send me ( or provide me the link to download the same from the SDN website) these Functional Specification Documents for Sales and distribution.
Wishes,
Abhishek

Hi there,
1st try to understand what is a functional specification doc before asking for it.
Functional specs is a doc in which you include what is the business requirement. If it requires a change to change to existing configs / code, then you will give the progs & the location where you will need to change. If the requirement is a totally new one, then yuo will explain the requirement in detail & possibly give the progs / code if there are any.
In your case, your client has a specific invoice format which is different from which SAP gives, in such cases, you will need to define a new Invoice output for eg ZINV. Define it as a print output. You will need to define a new print prog for the new output in which you will call smart forms to define the layout & fields.
Ask your business user to send the invoice copy which he has. Scan it & include it in the functional specs which you prepare. Mention all the fields which you want in the layout. Ask the ABAPer to code the invoice format in the same way. ABAPer is free to define any convinent name as per the guidelines (which he will be aware). You will need to assign that in the form routines of the output.
As a functional consultant you will need to give the field mappings (from where you get the data) for all the fields which you wish to print in the output. All that should be included in the func specs.
So there is no standard func specs that you can follow. Each func specs varies on the requirement. So dont ask these kind of questions in SDN forum. If you dont know how to define func specs, ask how to define. Dont ask people to send the sample func specs. Thats against the rules of conduct.

hi gurus...
I am new to this site..
We have a material, which is stored at particular plant in particular storage location.
but, I'm unable to get the storage location at Sales Order level.
Can u plz clarify me regarding this.
Thanks (in Advance).

Hello,
See after you enter the material in sales order, goto shipping tab of item which is the place where you
can see the storage location, click F4 on the field & you will see the locations where the material is maintained.
Even now if you cant see any location it means there is some problem with the assigment of storage location to plant.
Please check your configuration for this.
Hope this helps you.

Workflow Functional Specification Document

Hi All
I am working on a implementation project which includes Workflows. Right now I am in the process of writing the functional specification document for the Workflows. I am a functional consultant and never worked on workflows.
Can some one provide me what should be included in the functional document , how should the flow be written.
Is there any sample Workflow template anyone can share.
There are 4 places that requires workflows according to my understanding as described below in my requirement:
1. Workflow for corporate users when a notification is created or closed
2. Workflow email, forward a complaint to
     Finance Manager
     Quality Manager
     Plant Managers
3. Workflow for forwarding to an approver, reassign task to someone else
4. Workflow to send remainder emails for open items longer than 30 days
Please provide your insights and neccesary documentation to start
Thanks,
Sai

HI Prakash,
Thanks for the detailed response, it helped me a lot.
for approval to sales director, operations director and quality director an email has to be triggred simultaneously.We have predefined list depending on plant who can take corrective action and who can approve the corresponding task. Further users should have the option to select who should get the email.
For Approver Determination:
Case 1: In your scenario approver is not fixed.The approvers get selected based on plant. Try to get link between plant and all the approvers. The easy approch will be to maintain the approvers SAP ID in Z-Table against all the plant and developer will use RULE to fetch approvers from this Z-Table. The structure of Z-Table will be:
                                  PLANT     LEVEL   OBJID     USERID
For one plant 3 entry will be maitained here. LEVEL will help to identify the 3 types of approvers i.e. sales director, operations director and quality director. OBJID value will be US (if SAP ID will maintained in USERID), O (if Org. ID will maintained in USERID), S (if Position will maintained in USERID) etc. Benifit of this approch will be when ever you want to change any approver you have to change corresponding entry in this Z-Table no need to do changes in Workflow (As suggested by Ronen).
I used the same logic, creating a Z-Table for agents who has to approve the corrective action for taks completed. I was curious if there is a standard way to get this functionality in SAP. I am not sure about the responsibility rule that Mike was mentioning. Can you tell me which approach is a better design.
Case 2: Now I am confused since you said user can choose next level of approver. So please explain in which scenario Approver will come based on plant and in which scenario user will choose it manually. If user have to choose manually then a screen design is require. From approval screen based on user selection you need to pass the Approver in workflow.
Sorry for not putting things clealy. There are no levels for approval. Each of them are independent i.e. Sales director , Operations Manager and Quality director should get emails for approval after the Plant Manager, QA, Manager, Sales Coordinator take corrective action and the notification is closed only when all 3 of them approve the corrective action.
The user have to choose manually when the correspondng approver of that plant left the company, long vacation, took a new role etc...
Mail Notification: Extended mail notification functionaity is there. The person who will get work item in his/her SAP inbox for approval they will get mail notification in their external mail ID. All the approvers email id should be maintained along with their SAP ID in T-Code SU01. You Just need to provide mail contents in your FS, workflow developer will put same text in in mail body.
I was thinking about the SO23 distribution list for sending the emails to approvers. Also, how do the emails go to the corresonding approvers of that specific plant unless we explicity specify the email id's associated with that plant. Please clarify.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Functional Specification Document needed

hi guys ...
i have been asked to write the functional specification document for the following issue... i have never wrote any functional Spec. till now... can n y one write it down for me...or tell me the exact format of how to write it down...
The issue is as follows....thx.
Invoice enhancements for tagging, serial number and email identification
1. Add the Customer Tagging Text to the invoice document.
2. Add Serial Number to the invoice.
3. Change the subject line for the emailed invoice from the generic "SPX Invoice $000000001" to the more meaningful format "SPX Invoice <invoice number>, SO <sales order number>, for <customer name>", the order acknowledgement already has a similar format
Please do reply.... thanks in advance.

Hi,
Broadly in SAP there will be two types of Consultants - Functional and Technical. Technical consultants are mainly working on developments / changes in programs using ABAP language.
On the other hand Functional Consultants understand the business process from Business users and map the functionality in SAP by doing required configurations and by designing reports.
Here comes the Functional Design Specification. The report / an extension is developed by Technical resource, but the design / explanation has to be given by Functional Consultant in such a way that Technical Consultant is able to understand it. In other words it should be a media for converting Business language into a language understood by Technical Consultant.
So, in a Functional design of a report Functional Consultant should furnish the following information:
   - Assumptions made
   - Pre requisites to be met for executing the report / transaction
   - Main Tables from which data to be selected
   - Selection Parameters for executing the report.
   - Logic for the Program
   - Layout of the report
Thanks
Murali.

Hi,
SD Process Flow
the sales documents you create are individual documents but they can also form part of a chain of inter-related documents. For example, you may record a customeru2019s telephone inquiry in the system. The customer next requests a quotation, which you then create by referring to the inquiry. The customer later places an order on the basis of the quotation and you create a sales order with reference to the quotation. You ship the goods and bill the customer. After delivery of the goods, the customer claims credit for some damaged goods and you create a free-of-charge delivery with reference to the sales order. The entire chain of documents u2013 the inquiry, the quotation, the sales order, the delivery, the invoice, and the subsequent delivery free of charge u2013 creates a document flow or history. The flow of data from one document into another reduces manual activity and makes problem resolution easier. Inquiry and quotation management in the Sales Information System help you to plan and control your sales.
Transaction Codes:
Inquiry - VA11/VA12/VA13
Quotation - VA21/VA22/VA23
Sales Order - VA01/VA02/VA03
Delivery - VL01N/VL02N/VL03N
Billing/Invoicing - VF01/VF02/VF03

Could you be more specific about your requirement. I could understand that you wanted to know what all are the Customer sales reports could be provided in SD.
Generally irrespective of projects few reports are considered as baseline reports for any SAP implementations.
For example: 1. Order intakes daily
                      2. Order intakes monthly
                      3. Order magin (daily,monthly)
                     4. Order analysis.
Best regards.

Tax Conditions for Sales and Distribution using Jurisdiction Code in Canada

Hello everyone,
I would like to share with you a doubt relating taxes for Sales and Distribution in Canada.
The Tax conditions for Sales and Distribution in Canada are the CTX1 (GST - Canada), CTX2 (PST - Canada) and CTX3 (Base + GST). These are the Tax Conditions which appear when creating a Material or a Client for the Canada Region, and are also the ones included in the Canada Standandard Pricing Procedure.
I tried to apply the standard method of creating a Master Record for these conditions, but an error relating the Jurisdiction Code came out while releasing to accounting.
Does anyone one how to procceed? Which are the important issues with Finance Accounting to take in to account?
I would really appreciate any comment relating this issue.
Thank you very much in advanced.
Víctor

Dear Mr. Lakshmipathi,
In first place, thank you very much for your quick response.
I have tried many different procedures to get the aim, and among others, a new access sequence was created to allow the introduction of the Jurisdiction Code (UTXJ is not available for Sales Conditions) but once the Condition is created, it is not recognized when creating the Order ("pricing error: Mandatory condition CTX is missing"). Maybe it has something to do with the fact that these conditions are not included in the Finance Accounting Tax Procedure, where the conditions, which represent the same taxes but with different condition names, are defined for a certain Tax Code and Jurisdiction code.
Among the different SAP notes for the error relating the Jurisdiction code, there was one proposing to change the Condition Category from "D" (Taxes) to a value between "1 and 4". By doing this a new error appears while creating the order, saying that there are conditions in the Tax procedure (JRC1, JRC2)which are not included in the Sales Pricing procedure. By including this conditions in the Pricing procedure, the Tax Conditions existing in the Finance Accounting Tax Procedure are brought to the Order Conditions, in addition to the Sales Tax Conditions. And there is something more, each Tax Condition from the Finance Accounting Procedure appears twice, one with the application V (Sales) with value zero, and one with application TX (Taxes) with the value existing in the Finance Accounting Taxes Procedure. This is how at the end, the corresponding %value of the taxes is brought to the Invoice with the correct Tax Code, and the proper Jurisdiction Code, which is different for each condition.
Thank you very much for your time.

Process blocked sales and distribution documents from the SAPoffice inbox

Hi,
I know VKM1/VKM3 can be used to release order.
And SAP help shows we can process blocked sales and distribution documents from the SAPoffice inbox. Could anyone tell me how?
I can use output type KRML to send a mail to SAPoffice inbox, but don't know how to release blocked sales orders in the SAPoffice inbox.
Many Thanks
Jean

Hello Jean,
Release the blocked document directly via mail received:
- After carry out the step 4 in note 677377, you will be able to
release the blocked document directly by:
Display the SAP office mail recieved;
Menu: Document -> Execute;
Then you will be redirected to transaction vkm3, with the blocked
document number defaulted on that screen;
Unfortunately, it is not possible to direct your mails to Outlook
and release the document from VKM3.
Best regards,
Lela
