Process extension scenario patch problem

Hi,
in my solution I had extension fields and one extension scenario. After I successfully deployed solution new requirement came - this extension field should also be available via "this" web service. So I created a patch and when I wanted to thick checkbox before that web service in process extension scenario and try to save it, it gave me following error.
I tried to create another process extension scenario that includes just missing web service, but looks like extension field can have only one process extension scenario.
Help, advice?

Hi, Horst.
     We can directly create a new down payment from an existing Sales Order.
     So, it means there must be some way they are connecting.
     And I still think that "SalesOrder -General Information to Invoice Request-General Information" scenario is the one to use. (fully pregnant )
I think Down Payment is just an invoice because it doesn't have its own BO and the down payment screen can be enhanced through CustomerInvoiceRequest BO.

Extension Scenario Problem

Hi, experts,
     I created a scenario (SalesOrder -General Information to Invoice Request-General Information)
     And I extended a field to SalesOrder with that scenario and referenced that field in CustomerInvoiceRequest.
     I saved a sales order with some data in the extended field and I created a down payment from that sales order.
     I wanted to carry the extension value from Sales Order to Customer Invoice Request when I create the down payment from a particular Sales Order.
     But the extension field's data is lost in the result down payment.
     The extended field value did not show up in the down payment.
     What should I do about this? I don't know why.
      Any tips??
Regards,
Fred

Difference between invoice and debit note

Hi,
what is the difference between invoice and a debit note.
If I underinvoice a customer, should I raise a additional invoice for the difference or shud i raise a debit note. if i need to raise debit note, then why not invoice or if i need to raise an invoice, then why not a debit note
regards
sachin

Debit note is generally used to issue an invoice for already sold goods w/o physical goods movement involved.
If raw material prices increases which are utilized in production of Finished goods. then the business will submit the relevant documents as proof at customer.
Once Customer is accepted, then price increase effective date will be finalized , Then business issues debit note request for the required material & its converted into debit note. ( all this will be done, based on agreement with the Customer). Generally this scenario is most widely used in Manufacturing / Automobile industry.
where as, If invoice is created with less price than actual, you dont need to create debit note, instead you can either Cancel this invoice or create Invoice Correction request.
hope it adds info

BDLS failed in new system

Hi all,
We are experiencing an error when runing BDLS in SAP BW 7.0.
To give you an overview, I am working on a new production system called BWP (copy of an acceptance system).
Attached to this new BW system, we have a new source system called BRP.
In order to change the source system of the old system, I run BDLS (after a successfull test run) with the second option (following a client copy). I noticed that unfortunately, nothing was changed.
So, I decided to run BDLS again with the first option.
First, I did a successfull test run, and I noticed that much more table will be converted.
After the test run, I launched the real conversion...
Unfortunately, after a while, BDLS is stop and I have the following message:
"The datasource XX_XX_XXXX_XXXX(BRP100)" does not exist in object version A".
On my side I tried lot of things:
- I tried to activate the datasource, but it's not working.
- I tried to change value in the table RSDS (datasource) but one more time it didn't worked.
- I tried to reconnect the original system to replicate the datasource in order to activate it, but it didn't work.-
Do you have any ideas how to bypass this error?
If you have any experience to share about BDLS, do not hesitate

Hi,
This is error code RSDS062. It means that the datasource cannot be found in the tbl RSDS.
So search in RSDS for the datasource, & check what version it is.
If OBJVER is M, then it must be activated.
Did you follow SAP Note 886102 for the system copy?
You need to follow each step of the scenario pertaining to your copy.
When running BDLS, generally four scenarios can happen:
1) no records for either the old or the new name -> table skipped
2) records with the old name exist -> conversion goes through
3) records with the new name exist -> table skipped with warning =>
 manual intervention needed, but doublecheck is recommended. In th
 case the conversion log shows '<<' at the affected tables.
4) records with the old and the new name coexist -> records are skip
 with warning or error (depending on the flag for existence check,
 which is always set except test conversions) -> you have to analy
 the records and to manually delete that records which hold the ol
 logical name and have their identical counterparts which are hold
 the new name.
Also, implement these notes if missing from your BW system:
1224597 P19:BDLS:DataSource not converted
1142908 70SP19: BDLS does not convert DTPs
1149141 70SP18/19: BDLS: Improvements log

Stock transport order between storage locations and assignment category type E not in MRP

Hello Gurus,
I have a stock transport order between 2 storage location which belongs to the same plant. Besides the stock transport order is allocated to a sales order (account assigment category E). When I run the MD03, the system take into account the quantity of the stock transport order as a future entry and this is wrong. I need that the MRP has not into account the stock transport order as an entry.
As an important information, If I modify the stock transport order removing the account asignment category E (sales order), then the MRP doesn't take into account it, so this is correct.
Could anybody tell me how to get it?
Thanks in advanced.

Laura,
It is normal that MRP will consider an STO as a receipt element; this is basic planning. It is unclear to me why you think you do not want it to do so, but I will assume you have some logical reason.
Contrary to what some others may have suggested, changing the scope of check for availability checking has no effect on which elements are considered for MRP. MRP is a completely separate functionality from Availability Check.
For Location > Location STOs (within a plant), then, you normally have the receipt element of the STO in the destination storage location, and the requirements element of an equal amount in the source storage location. Net of these two elements is zero, unless you have already issued the STO at the source location.
Changing the Account assignment from "E" means that the STO will not be relevant for your Sales order (in other words, when you receive this STO into the destination storage location, it cannot be used for your sales order). In a general MTO scenario, it also means that the proceeds of this STO (the stock you received) cannot be used for ANY sales orders.
One way that some people make an STO 'not relevant' for MRP is to alter the destination storage location such that it is not relevant for MRP. You can change the MRP relevancy of the storage location in MM02 > MRP4 tab

SD Test cases

hi guys I just wanted to know how the test scripts will be like for these sales processes for a general business scenario not specific to any business
1)standard sales process
2)cash sales
3)rush order
4)sales returns
5)credit process
6)debit process
7)free of charge delivery
8)subsequent free of charge delivery
9)inter company sales
10)inter company stock transfer
11)third party sales
12)individual purchase order
any documentation link
or is it nothing but unit testing and integration testing for example test script for standard sales process would be like
1) create a sales order and save it and see that pricing taking place or not or availability check or credit being updated or not and basic functions like these
2)create a delivery with respect to the order and see the material document and accounting document.
3)create a billing document with reference to the delivery and post it to accounting see the controlling document and profit center document etc....

How to set the value of an LOV in CO prgramatically and get the Pkey value?

Hi,
I need to set a value to a LOV, say ItemLOV in a page through CO and get the Primaykey that LOV will return. How can I achieve this?
Req:
1. Set the Item_Name, say 'DELL_1618' so that the page displays this in the LOV.
2. Fetch the PK value returned by LOV in the backend into a VO attribute say Item_ID, '100009881'.
Thanks,
Santosh.

Hi Santosh,
Sorry, I replied for General LOV Scenario, but want to set it programatically right,
You need to execute your LOV query in Controller for Item 'DELL_1618' using prepared statement, get the value for both dispaly value and Id and set it to LOV and FormVlaue Item in PR of controller.

Reetesh Sharma

Character set conversion

I have had problems with extended charaters
in a database table not being represented
correctly by clients. I believe that the FAQ
concerning "Why do I see questions marks..."
identified the problems. The database is set
to Latin4 and clients at Latin1. I am seeing
inverted questions marks for characters that
don't match when displaying the table on
a client, whether SQLPLUS under NT4.0, SQLPLUS under Solaris 8, even ODBC to MS Access.
My questions are
1) How do the database and clients know
that the character sets are different? We
at first assumed that only the bit patterns
were seen so we might see different characters for the same 8 bits.
2) How are the character sets compared?
3) If a character is moved to a different
bit pattern, is this recognized and hadled
properly? Or is it only matching characters
with the same bit pattern?
Answers will be greatly appreciated after
weeks of asking questions outside this forum
and searching the WWW.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi,
You didn't mention what your nls_lang setting on your client is set to. Your NLS_LANG setting for Windows should reflect your current code page. In general two scenarios can occur
when data is sent from client to the database. If the database character set and client NLS_LANG match then no conversion takes place. Otherwise the data is automatically converted converted from the client code page to the database character set and vice versa. In either of these two scenarios if the NLS_LANG is set improperly (not reflecting current client OS code) corruption can occur. In the scenario you are describing have you entered non Latin1 data into the database? If so how? If you have, and it was entered properly you will still have difficulties displaying the data in SQL*PLUS on a Latin1 client as it will not know about these characters. Another tactic that would be useful is to use the dump command to see if your latin4 characters are stored properly on the database. An example would be something like: SELECT DUMP(col,1016)FROM table ;
null

Create invoice

I want creating an invoice to receive "sales revenue received in advance" before issue goods to customer.
How can i do it ?

Hi Shawn,
For your scenario yo can use down payment request. Whatever the payment you received as advance is posted through this down payment order, it will be shown as liability in the accounts. Once you deliver the goods and do PGI, then create an invoice which adjusts with down payment order. This is the general business scenario.
Hope you understood.
thanks

Getting carryforward bal in F.08

Dear Members :
Running GL Acc Balances (F.08) is not showing carry-forward balance for P&L stmt type accounts - this inspite after running balance carry forward (F.16). But F.08 does show carry-forward balances for balance sheet type accnts.
Could you please tell me whether any further configuration is required to see carry-forward balance for P&L stmt type accounts from F.08 ?
Thanks
Atanu

Hi
In general business scenario P&L accounts will not carry their previous year balances. At the end of each period the difference between income and expenditure will go to a separte account called Profit and loss account and that will carry the balance to the next year. In SAP retained earnings account will do the job.

Debit memo

hi,
i need clarification from the post.
1) suresh kumar : dont put head ache of debit memo
may i know what does it mean?
2) tracy meng : in sap, we normally do credit memo for vendor and cust.
may i know why no debit memo?
3) when issue credit memo to vendor, then it should be pay more. why entry is DR vendor?
is it because SAP only recognises credit memo? and when using FB65, it knows it is to reduce value?
4) when issue credit memo to customer, it means credit the debtor. then we earn less. this is correct.
why not debit note for point 3?
i really need to make myself clear. hope can have the explain and i will reward.
thanks

Hello
In general business scenarios, both credit memos and debit memos are in use.
Take an example of a vendor. When good come in we credit the vendor. When there returns or adjustments, we need to debit the vendor for the excess.
So we can raise a debit memo. But in SAP this is called as crdit memo and posting keys automatically gets adjusted.
Similarly in case of a customer transaction, we debit him for all recievables. For sales returns or adjustments, we use a crdit memo, to credit the customer to reduce the debit balance. Luckily in SAP, the terminology is right.
Hope this is clear now.

Application connection to TimesTen In-Memory Database

Hi All,
We're in the planing of creating TimesTen In-Memory Database for our production databases.Now we're in testing phase,we made one TimesTen In-Memory Database for one test database.
Now we don't want to put all database in memory, we've some selected tables for some users,we only want these tables will by in memory, so we create cache group & add theese tables in that.
Now some of my database is in memory & some database is not in memory,so I want to know that how the application users will connect to database ??
Is they connect to TimesTen In-Memory Database or our main database ???
If they connect to TimesTen In-Memory Database how they will access the procedures of functions etc from main database ???
Or If they connect to main database how these TimesTen In-Memory Database tables will access by users ???
Is TimesTen In-Memory Database will help only when we put whole database in memory ???
Thinks & Regards,
Atul Mandale.

Hi Atul,
If you want to cache all your database then just create cache groups to encapsulate all your tables. That is the only way. However, I am far from sure this would be a good idea...
TimesTen is not a transparent, 'just plug it in' performance accelerator (such a thing does not exist and probably never will). It is intended to solve specific problems i.e. when some or all parts of an application need 'real time' access to some database data and the performance requirements (usually response time but sometimes throughput) are such that they either cannot be met at all, or cannot be met cost effectively, using Oracle DB or RAC alone. If one has that kind of situation then TimesTen may be able to help. It is unlikely to help a general application scenario just by plugging it in. Note that to successfully implement TimesTen it is almost always necessary to make both application and architectural changes. Why is this?
1. You are moving from a single DB to a multi-DB solution. Each item of data can be mastered (i.e. be updateable) in only one DB - Oracle or TimesTen. All parts of the system must understand this and enforce this or dat inconsistency may result.
2. All the data held in TimesTen must fit into physical memory. Data storage requirements often increase when moving a table from Oracle to TT. If you have a table that takes up 5 GB in Oracle it may well need 8 GB or more of memory in TimesTen. Unless your Oracle database is quite small you will need a machine with a very large amount of memory to cache the whole DB in TimesTen.
3. Queries and transactoons cannot span data in TT and Oracle. Any given query or transaction must execute entirely in TimesTen or Oracle.
4. Depending on which tables are cached and which are not, some application componenst may need to be aware of the location (TT or Oracle) of specific tables/data and go to the right place to get it. The TimesTen PassThrough feature can certainly help a lot with this but it does not necessarily address every possible issue.
5. Today, TimesTen only supports ODBC and JDBC APIs. If you have an application that uses OCI it must be recoded to use ODBC. The next major release of TimesTen does support OCI.
6. TimesTen does not support triggers or PL/SQL. The next major release supports PL/SQL and we have our own proprietary event notification API called XLA.
7. Although the SQL supported by TimesTen is a large subset of Oracle SQL there are still incompatibilities and some datatypes (e.g. CLOBS/BLOBS is on example) that TimesTen does not support.
While it may be possible to cache all your database it may not be a very practical, or beneficial, way to go. Can you share a bit of detal about the problem you are trying to solve with TimesTen so that maybe we can advise you of the best approach?

--> Qutation (Optional - can be prepared in SAP)
 Quotation if accepted
--> Receive confirmation of Order / Purchase order from Customer.
--> Create Sales Order in SAP (Reference of PO can be made in text field in Sales Order).
--> Create Delivery in SAP (Based on availablity of stock)
--> Pick / Pack (Optional in SAP)
--> Post Goods Issue in change mode of Delivery in SAP once material is ready to be despatched.
--> Invoice / Bill the Customer in SAP
 Quotation if rejected
--> Further Negotiate if possible & try to convert the Quotation to sales order.
--> Receive confirmation of Order / Purchase order from Customer.
--> Create Sales Order in SAP (Reference of PO can be made in text field in Sales Order).
--> Create Delivery in SAP (Based on availablity of stock)
--> Pick / Pack (Optional in SAP)
--> Post Goods Issue in change mode of Delivery in SAP once material is ready to be despatched.
--> Invoice / Bill the Customer in SAP
 Quotation if finally reject
--> No further processing to sales order.
