GR-based IV and ERS

Hi Gurus,
1) A PO is created on Sept15th(say). Then a GR has been done on Sept 20th.(say). While the PO was created, then it was non-ERS. Now after receiving of goods, say on Sept 25th, we check ERS by ME22n. Now , since now it is ERS, will the system now generate an invoice whose GR has been done in the past? Please explain.
2)Is it mandatory to have GR-based IV in case of ERS and vice versa? Say, if it is non-ERS, and we have GR-based IV, will there be any problem in invoice posting? Please explain.
Thanks,
Kumar

Kumar,
1) NO - if the ERS check was NOT checked when the GR was done the ERS settlement program will NOT pick it up.   What happens is when an item is marked for ERS when the GR is done that movement is stored on the EKRS table.   When MRRL (ERS settlement transaction) is done the EKRS table is used to find movements against ERS items that need to be invoiced.   The entry is cleared from EKRS when the settlement is successful.
So when the ERS flag is NOT checked an entry is not put on EKRS when a GR is done.
2) GR-based-IV - I believe it is mandatory for ERS - it makes sense since to do ERS you need a GR.   With ERS you cannot produce an invoice without a GR.
It is OK to have GR-based-IV for non-ERS items.   All it means is the in order to post in invoice you MUST have done a GR.

Invoice plan and ERS

Guys,
What is the difference between ERS and Invoicing plan?
Are they both same? In that case, why is the settlement done on Tcode MRRL for ERS and MRIS for Invoice plan....?
Please clarify my doubt.
Happy holidays,
Nureya

Hi ,
Please go through this below points difference between invoice plan (MRIS) and ERS (MRRL) in invoice verification process.
Use of Invoice plan in SAP MM ( Logisitic Invoice Verification )
Through the use of Invoicing Plan for leasing agreements and such like, you aims to considerably reduce the manual data entry effort in the purchasing and invoice verification (A/P) department.
The invoicing plan enables you to schedule the desired dates for the creation of invoices relating to the planned procurement of materials or services independently of the actual receipt of the goods or actual performance of the services. It lists the dates on which you wish to create and then pay the invoices.
You can have the system create the invoices automatically on the basis of the data in the purchase order, thereby triggering payment of the vendor. It is also possible to enter the invoice for an invoicing plan manually. It is recommended that the invoice shall be created via Logistics Invoice Verification ---> Automatic Settlement --->Invoicing Plan Settlement. This
transaction can also run in the background.
Following are necessary customizings and preconditions for using the Invoicing Plan functionality in SAP -
1) You must maintain the settings in Customizing for purchasing (for example, invoicing plan type, date categories, date descriptions, and date sequence proposals). The related path is IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing ---> Purchase Order ---> Invoicing Plan ......
2) The Purchasing document with FO Document Type (Framework Order) must be used. This document type requires that a validity period be entered in the PO header. This specification is adopted in the invoicing plan, provided that this has been predefined in Customizing for the relevant invoicing plan type.
3) The purchase order item must have an account assignment.
4) The Logistics Invoice Verification must be used.
5) The vendor must have agreed to use the automatic invoice creation facility (since we will use automatic settlement to create the invoice). In this case, the 'AutoEvalGRSetmtDel.' indicator must be flagged in the vendor master record.
Furthermore, once Purchase Order is created with order type FO, ensure that the indicators for GR/IR control have been set correctly on the item detail screen. The Goods Receipt indicator may only be set in combination with the Goods Receipt Non-Valuated indicator. The Invoice indicator must be set. For the automatic creation of invoices, the ERS (Evaluated Receipt Settlement) indicator must be also set. A further prerequisite for automatic settlement is that a tax code must be entered in the purchase order.
Please go throuth this SAP help linkl
[Help.SAP.COM|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/75/ee0d3355c811d189900000e8322d00/content.htm]
ERS
[ERS|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm30/helpdata/en/fb/8dec38574c2661e10000000a114084/content.htm]

Prerequistic settings for ERS:
1. Vendor master purchasing data ( Flagged as GR-Based Inv Verification: Indicator specifying that provision has been made for goods-receipt-based invoice verification for a purchase order item or invoice item.
Auto Eval GR Settlement Delivery: specifies that evaluated receipt settlement or the automatic generation of the invoices are allowed in relation to materials supplied or services performed
Auto Eval GR Settlement Return: Specifies that automatic evaluated receipt settlement of return items is allowed.
2. Check in Info record to Ensure that No ERS indicator is not checked in the info record for the vendor, Material + Vendor + Plant + Purchase organization.
3. In PO ( Tax code maintain and Ticked GR based IV and ERS indicator )
4. Settled the invoice using MRRL
Difference between ERS and Invoice plan are :
" ERS is the automatic invoice payment settlement to our supplier like EDI payment.
Once we received the GR quantity system automatically settled the payment using ERS t.code MRRL.
" There are two types of invoice plan ( Partial and Periodic invoice plan ) - is used to settled the Rental , period based payment etc using MRIS.
With Thanks,
Thiru

Problem in HA Configuration and ERS installation

Dear Experts,
I have planned to install a HA SAP ECC 6.0 System with Oracle DB.
I completely configured 5 Virtual Machines for this purpose, and at status quo, I have decided to install these components as mentioned below:
VM1: ASCS
VM2: ERS
VM3: DB
VM4: CI
CM5: DI
All machines run Redhat linux x64.
I started with installing ASCS on the first VM. It was successful; also I have configured the file system as described in the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/27/44f17a26a74a8abfd202c4f5dc9a0f/content.htm
Then I tried to install ERS on the second VM (VM2). The installation was able to find the profile which the ASCS has generated but finally it failed because it couldn't find some files:
sapinst_dev.log says:
TRACE 2014-03-02 15:00:23.858
NWException thrown: nw.noExecutableFound:
Cannot find executable sapcontrol at these locations: /usr/sap/SHP/ERS10/exe/sapcontrol, /usr/sap/SHP/SYS/exe/run/sapcontrol, /usr/sap/SHP/SYS/exe/uc/linuxx86_64/sapcontrol.
As a result, I decided to try another plan by installing another ERS on the first VM and it completed successfully.
Now, I have ASCS and ERS on the VM1, but I cannot install ERS on the VM2.
The question is:
1.Since I don’t want to have any SPOF, which one of the following solutions is correct?
Solution 1:
VM1: ASCS
VM2: ERS
Solution2
VM1: ASCS + ERS
VM2: ERS
Solution 3
VM1: ASCS + ERS
VM2: ASCS + ERS
2.If you dont choose Solution 3 then; How can I solve the problem of installing ERS on the second node? Any idea
Regards,
Meysam Kermani

do you want to install the SAP on HA (High availability/SPOF)?
as per your thread looks like you want to install each service on separate VM?
I would strongly suggest you must go through the installation guide and before you start the installation check whats your requirement is. for example refer https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700001414082012E

Account-based COPA and having Cost Center as Real Object in Sales Order

Hi,
We have recently activated account-based COPA and in our SO, we realized the Profitability Segment being populated- that is not a problem in normal scenarios.
However, in some cases, we would like to charge to a cost center instead of COPA. We have tried the 2 ways mentioned in the forum/on the web to include Cost Center in Sales Order:
1. Go to OVF3 t-code and configure a default cost center for the order reason
2. Change the SD Document Category under 'Define Sales Document Types' to 'I- Order w/o charge'.
However both ways only open the Cost center field but still populates the COPA. At accounting entries, cost center will become a statistical object and COPA, the real object- which is not what we want.
Is there a way to stop the auto-populating of Profitabiltiy Segment in SO when cost center is being entered?
Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions.
Regards,
Huimin

Solved by myself, with help of OSS Note: 44381 - Profitability Segment Not Required in SD Postings. Have a CO substitution rule to clear away the Profitability Segment number based on certain conditions. Thanks!

Questions on Rules-Based ATP and Purchase Requisitions for STOs

Hello experts,
We are working on rules-based ATP configuration and have several questions about the functionality. Iu2019m hoping that some of you are using this functionality and can help give us direction.
In our environment we have multiple distribution centers and multiple manufacturing plants. We want to confirm sales orders against stock and production orders in any of those plants, depending on the locations that have stock or planned production. For example, we will place a sales order against plant A. If there is not enough stock in plant A then rules-based ATP will use location determination to check in plant B, then C. The scope of check on the ATP check will include stock and released production orders. We will configure plant A as the u201Cconsolidation locationu201D so if stock is found in plants B or C then stock transport orders will automatically be created to move the stock to plant A before shipping to the customer.
We have configured rules-based ATP and this functionality is working well in our Development system. The ATP check is executed and uses the rules-based ATP to find eligible stock in other plants. The system is also creating purchase requisitions to move the stock to the consolidation plant.
Our first concern is that there doesnu2019t appear to be any firm linkage between the sales order and the resulting purchase requisition. For example, if we create sales order 123 for plant A and the rules-based ATP finds stock in plant B it automatically creates a purchase requisition 987 to move the stock from plant B to plant A. However, there doesnu2019t appear to be a linkage between sales order 123 and purchase requisition 987. For instance, if we delete sales order 123 the purchase requisition doesnu2019t get deleted.
Our second concern is that the quantity on the purchase requisition can still be confirmed against later sales orders. For example, say the above scenario resulted in a purchase requisition 987 that consumed all the stock available in plant B. We then create a second sales order 456 for the same product. Plant A is out of stock so the rules-based ATP looks in plant B. We would expect that plant B would also not have any stock because itu2019s all been consumed by the purchase requisition. Instead, the system creates a second purchase requisition to move quantity from plant B to plant A. Itu2019s as if the system doesnu2019t realize that the purchase requisition 987 is already planning to move stock out of plant B.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on these two scenarios? Is there a way to configure the system so there is a hard linkage between the sales order and the purchase requisition so that if the sales order is deleted then the purchase requisition is also deleted? Should ATP realize that purchase orders are consuming inventory and not allow later sales orders to confirm against that same inventory? Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
The scheduling is done in SCM, and from there, whenever the RBA is triggered, the calculation is done always with the old route in SCM. Until you get back to R/3 this is when your route is determined. But the ATP check is always with the original route. So the idea would be that you change the values of the route while still in APO, this is possible via the user exit. Should be done in scheduling in APO.
Hope this information is helpful.

Function-based Index and an OR-condition in the WHERE-clause

We have some problems with functin-based indexes and
the or-condition in a where-clause.
(We use oracle 8i (8.1.7))
create table TPERSON(ID number(10),NAME varchar2(20),...);
create index I_NORMAL_TPERSON_NAME on TPERSON(NAME);
create index I_FUNCTION_TPERSON_NAME on TPERSON(UPPER(NAME));
The following two statements run very fast on a large table
and the execution-plan asure the usage of the indexes
(-while the session is appropriate configured and the table is analyzed):
1)     select count(ID) FROM TPERSON where upper(NAME) like 'MIL%';
2)     select count(ID) from TPERSON where NAME like 'Mil%' or (3=5);
In particular we see that a normal index is used while the where-clause contains
an OR-CONDITION.
But if we try the similarly select-statement
3)     select count(ID) FROM TPERSON where upper(NAME) like 'MIL%' or (3=5);
the CBO will not use the function-index.
(This behavior we only expect with views but not with indexes.)
We ask for an advice like an hint, which enable the CBO-usage
of function-based indexes in connection with OR.
This problem seems to be artificial because it contains this dummy logic:
     or (3=5).
This steams from an prepared statement, where this kind of boolean
flag reduce the amount of different select-statements needed for
covering the hole business-logic, while using bind-variables for the
concrete query-parameters.
A more realistic (still boild down) version of our prepared select-statement run in
SQL Plus:
define x_name = 'MIL%';
define x_firstname = '';
select * FROM TPERSON
where (upper(NAME) like '&x_name' or ( '&x_name' = ''))
and (upper(FIRSTNAME) like '&x_firstname' or ('&x_firstname' = ''))
and ...;
In particular we dont refernce the tablecolumn , but the QUERY-Parameter
yield the second boolean value in the or-condition.
The problem is that this condition ('&x_name' = '') dont use any index.
thanks a lot for spending your time with this problem

Try
SELECT /*+ RULE */
as your hint. I don't have the book with me, but this last weekend I read a section about your very problem. The book was a Oracle Press gold cover about Oracle 8i Performance tuning. If you e-mail me I can quote you the chapter when I get home Friday.

Internet Based Clients and Native Mode

Hi guys,
I have a question.... We have SCCM 2007 SP2 running in mixed mode in the environment. Now we plan to support internet based clients. Here is the current Hierarchy in mixed mode.
1 Central Server
1 Primary Server
3 Secondary servers under above Primary Server
Now as the requirement is to support internet based clients and want them to support on office LAN as well when they come to the office....this is what I would be doing : ( Theoretically I know, I need the practical steps to achieve that )
1. Get all the 3 PKI Certificates : Site Server Signing, Web Server, Client agent.
2. Make sure all the required ports are opened in-between Intranet <->DMZ AND DMZ <-> Internet
3. Migrate Central server from Mixed to Native Mode.
4. Install another Primary Server on Intranet in Native mode.
5. Create a site system server connected to newly created Native Primary Site in the DMZ zone with these roles installed : MP, SUP and DP.
6. Re-install all the SCCM clients in the environment with the command-line so that they can be supported on both internet and intranet.
7. Make sure internet clients are able to connect DMZ site system server via internet.
Please let me know if I'm missing something here and let me know the practical steps to achieve this.
Request you not to share Microsoft technet link for the same. Please share some step-by-step practical document etc.. to achieve this.
Thanks,
Sam

1. This is incorrect. You need more than a single web server cert and client cert. You need a unique server auth cert for *every* one of your systems hosting a client role like the MP, DP, and SUP. Also, you need a unique client auth cert for each and *every*
client that may/will connect via the Internet.
4. Standing up a whole extra site just to support IBCM is a bit overkill. It does allow you to keep your "main" primary site in mixed mode, but it does add some overhead and cost and is not technically necessary.
6. Incorrect. You only need to reinstall clients that will be configured as "Internet-only". Intranet clients should pick up the internet facing roles via policy. You can verify this by checking locationservices.log on the clients after they are successfully
communicating and the Internet facing roles are stood up and healthy.
You've made no account above for the CDP or CRL checking. This is a major stumbling block for many folks.

HI
Costing-based Profitability Analysis is the form of profitability analysis that groups costs and revenues according to value fields and costing-based valuation approaches, both of which you can define yourself. It guarantees you access at all times to a complete, short-term profitability report.
Account-based Profitability Analysis is a form of profitability analysis organized in accounts and using an account-based valuation approach. The distinguishing characteristic of this form is its use of cost and revenue elements. It provides you with a profitability report that is permanently reconciled with financial accounting

Certificate Based Authentication and SSL

To whom it may concern,
I have installed SJES on Solaris 9 x386 (intel version). Everything is running fine, the mails are also coming and going.
Now, I need Certificate based authentication and SSL. I have downloaded versign.com trial certificate and have install it succesfully in the Messaging Server Console -- > Manage Certificates. The certificate is also visible in its tab.
Next, I followed the documentation and enable ssl by using ./configutil utility. And also restarted the server.
I am running my Messenger express (http) like this :
http://testing.xyz.com:8100
(I am using port 8100 for http access to mails). After restarting the mail server, I tried :
https://testing.xyz.com:8100 also,
http://testing.xyz.com:443 also,
https://testing.xyz.com:443 also,
but I cannot see the login page of the mail server. All the above mention url i tried and just given error "the connection was refused when attempting to contact testing.xyz.com. I CAN ONLY SEE THE LOGIN PAGE WHEN I WRITE THE OLD HTTP ADDRESS: i.e. http://testing.xyz.com:8100
And I also checked the logs and the server is having no problem in starting and there is not a single word regarding SSL enabling in the logs.
Please help me out, it's really a strange behaviour. I am using SunONE Messaging Server 6.0.

Flash CS4 IDE based project and embed metadata tags

I posted this in one of the other sub-forums before I realised this one was available.
I am moving over to using the Flex based embed metadata tags to import assets into my Flash CS4 IDE based project. This is working very well but I have hit one small problem - how do you now create a pre-loader? I've done the usual google to look for a solution and found many Flex based solutions and tried them all out but they do not appear to work from within a CS4 IDE based project - even when tried out on a web page.
Is there a solution to this?

I'm doing the same thing, it's great to have the embed function, but the swf loads all embed content before anything else. This for me makes the feature useless. I make games and game sites want everything in one swf, so making a separate swf preloader wont work for me. Hope Adobe creates a solution for this.
Here are my post on the subject:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/499997?tstart=0
and

Also I submitted a feature request with Adobe, I suggest you do the same.
good luck!

'Hierarchy Based Login' and 'Direct Reports' field in Dim - Position table

Hello -
I am trying to build a "My Team's" report, which basically shows the logged in Managers ( and his subordinates) revenues rolled up by default. Then the manager needs to drilldown on his name and see revenues grouped by his direct reports. I am using OBIEE 10G. In the out of the box RPD, there are two fields in the BMM layer called 'Hierarchy Based Login' and 'Direct Reports'.
1. The 'Hierarchy based Login' field uses the INDEXCOL method to get relevant column from the W_POSITION_DH table based on the the Logged in users hierarchy level (the hierarchy level is stored in a session variable (HIER_LEVEL). This session variable works fine and i have tested the SQL)
2. The 'Direct Reports' is using the same INDEXCOL method, just that it uses the formula HIER_LEVEL - 1. This works fine as well.
The issue i am facing is neither of these out-of-the-box fields are assigned to the Position dimension (the position dimension also exists OOTB).
So basically, i am able to create a manager and his direct subordinate report, but without any drill functionality.
I am trying to get the report to drill all the way down to the bottom most level of the heirarchy.
Any help to get this working is much appreciated

What i meant was neither of these out-of-the box fields are assigned to a Dimension Hierarchy ( there is a hierarchy called 'Position' that already exists out-of-the box). Other fields in the 'Dim-Position' table are assigned to a level in this position hierarchy, except these two. I guess what i am trying to achieve is to dynamically assign the hierarchy level based on the users Hierachy level in W_POSITION_DH table.
Thanks for spending time to look into my issue

Framework order : GR-based invoice and Goods receipt fields

Hello,
In our solution, framework orders (purchase orders type FO) have no goods receipt, they are directly invoiced.
However, when creating a purchase order (ME21N), the fields "GR-based invoice" (Invoice tab) and "Goods receipt" (Delivery tab) are flagged by default. We then have to "unflag" them each time we create a framework order (purchase order type FO).
In customizing, can these fields be "unflagged" by default for the purchase orders type FO?
Thanks for your answers.

Hi Shirley,
Go to Vendor master change(XK02/MK02)with whom you are creating the Framework order - Purchasing data, in that uncheck the check boxes for GR-based invoice and Goods receipt. Then save the vendor master. Then create the framework order.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Viswanath
