Grants Management Datasource
Hi,
We are implementing the Grants Management and we have sticked to the standard Business content cubes and ODS. We have one of our ODSs getting the data from the DataSource 0GM_DO01 -- Line Item Extractor (Transactions). Since it is the Standard extractor, we are not sure from which table (in the R/3 source system) is the data coming from . We were trying to find the Table of Origin for the Field in Extract Structure. My Guess is the table GMIA, but would like be sure. The following link also does not fetch me anything significant:

Can anyone throw some light on this?
Thanks

Replication of a BP in CRM as a FI Vendor in ECC for Grants Management
Hi,
We are implenting SAP CRM 7 with SAP ECC for Grants Management, integrated with FI AP (we're not using PSCD).
For BP replication we followed the next steps, however something looks it is incorrect because my BDOC still shows errors:
The middleware settings had been completed between the CRM and the ECC system.
- Site, Suscription and replication from CRM to SAP ECC are in placed
-The next replication object are activated:
-All Business Partners (MESG) (BUPA_MAIN)
-All Busines Partner Relationships (MESG) (BUPA_REL)
-All Business Transactions (MESG)
-Grantor Program Management
Also we implemented the next steps:
1) Define the number ranges for BP groupings in CRM: This number range would be internal in CRM and External in ECC.
CRM (IMG) -> Customer Relationship Management -> Cross-Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Basic Settings ->
Number Ranges and Groupings
2) Since the BP would be replicated as a BP in ECC we define the same number ranges in ECC too:
ERP (IMG) -> Customer Relationship Management -> Cross-Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Basic Settings ->
Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges
3) Activate the post-processing framework: (Business processes CVI_02 and CVI_04 in Component AP-MD)
ERP (IMG) -> Cross-Application Components -> General Application Functions ->Postprocessing Office -> Business Processes->
Activate Creation of Postprocessing Orders
4) Activate PPO Requests for Platform Objects in the Dialog:
ERP (IMG) -> Cross-Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization -> Synchronization Control -> Synchronization
Control -> Activate PPO Requests for Platform Objects in the Dialog

Splitting on customer defined fields in Grants Management
Hi All,
I am implementing a grants management solution where funds are drawn down from the sponsor using resource related billing based on payments. As part of the reporting to the sponsor we are required to report information from the grants management ledger (payment documents) with information from a third party system which triggered the initial expenditure against the grant. The join between the information is a reference number passed from the interfaced system.
My solution is to put the reference number in a customer field in the coding block and have updated the GM field movement to populate the field in GMIA. I would like to put this field in the splittng rules in grants management so that for the reporting to sponsor can be a straight forward join on the interfaced system and the data from payments in GMIA (rather than splitting in the general ledger then joining GMIA, flex GL data and the interfaced system).
The fields which can be used in splitting in GM seem to be a predefined list. I have traced this in debug and found a function module GM_SPLIT_T8G40_FIELDS which is defining the list of fields availale and translating the the field name. Any field for which it cannot find a new field name in this function module is being deleted from the list of valid fields. Therefore, customer fields are deleted from the available fields for splitting.
Can anyone suggest a way around this?
Kind regards,
GeoffreyOK, it's something along the lines of:
Vendor Invoice posted in GL:
Entry view:
CR Vendor 1000 GBP
DR Expense/Customer field A 600 GBP
DR Expense/Customer field B 400 GBP
GL View (splitting on customer field):
CR Vendor/Customer field A 600 GBP
CR Vendor/Customer field B 400 GBP
DR Expense/Customer field A 600 GBP
DR Expense/Customer field B 400 GBP
GM document (not possible to split on customer field)
Value type 54 CR Vendor 1000 GBP
Value type 99 DR Expense/Customer field A 600 GBP
Value type 99 DR Expense/Customer field B 400 GBP
Payment Posted:
GL Entry Veiw
DR Vendor £1000
CR Bank Clearing £1000
General Ledger View (split on customer field)
DR Vendor/Customer field A 600 GBP
DR Vendor/Customer field B 400 GBP
CR Bank Clearing/Customer field A 600 GBP
CR Bank Clearing/Customer field B 400 GBP
GM Document (not possible to split on customer field)
Value Type 54 DR Vendor £1000
Value Type 57 CR Bank Clearing £1000
In GM, there is no link back to the values in the customer fields when the payment is made as the field movement from GL to GM is based on the line items and values in the the entry view and not the split general ledger view. If the split GL data were used to populate the GM tables, then the data would already be split by the customer field by the time it reaches GM, negating a need to split on the customer field once in GM.
It still feels, however, that the simplest solution would just be to have the GM ledger split by customer fields. I have tried raising a customer message with SAP, but this query falls outside of their support remit.
Kind regards,

Grants Management and UE Seventh Framework Programme
Hi all,
I'm studying about potential implementation of Grants Management in order to manage research project budgeting and reporting towards sponsor.
Do someone has already addressed the following issues?
Issue 1: how to manage the need to report expenses by u201Creasonu201D (for example, expenses for research activities vs expenses for management activities). Different sponsored programs and same sponsored classes?
Issue 2: how to manage the need to report expenses to UE net of potential taxes (VAT), when in FI accounting they are normally recorded (at least in Italy) as gross.
Many thanks for your answers.

Managed datasources, Global transactions and XA
I have a question regarding the use of managed datasources and global transactions with oc4j 10.1.3.
From the documentation at:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_04/web.1013/b14428/servdats.htm#CHDGJECC
I conclude that managed datasources by default support global transactions.
I have tested the following scenario:
A stateless session bean starts a container managed transaction. The bean updates data in two different databases through two different
managed datasources. The transaction is atomic.
What surprises me is that this works. I would think that I would need to configure the datasources to make use of XA.
Can someone explain why this works, wat is the difference between XA transactions and global transactions in this context?Further to give more info the error users are facing is
Could not connect to 'oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource'. -
Issue Regd Grants Management Extractor - 0GM_DC02
Hi All,
I am trying to extract data into BI 7.0 from Grants Management Extractor 0GM_DC02- Grants Management Totals. This extractor looks at the GMIB Structure which in turn looks at the GMIT Table. Now the GMIT table has two amounts, one in Transaction Currency for each posting period (field TSL0n, where n = posting period) and other is in Local Currency for each posting period ( field HSL0n, where n = posting period). The extractor, 0GM_DC02 delivers the the amounts in the field " TURNOVER", which surprisingly is adding the amounts against both Transaction Currency & Local Currency. For example, I pulled the data in BI and checked the amounts for year 2008, the table GMIT in ECC shows the amount is $500 for TC & again $500 for LC but when I checked the data in 0GM_DC02 extractor in Extractor checker (RSA3), both these amounts are shown in the same field "TURNOVER", and therefore in BI the amount is addition of these 2 amounts which is $1000. I need only the amount for Local Currency, but looks like the extractor is adding both LC & TC amounts. How can I solve this?
Can anyone please advice??
Thanks a lot!Hi All,
I solved it!! -

Grant / grant management dependancy on Funds Management
Hello experts,
Based on a quick look at documentation, I am not sure if GM requires FM or not. If you have organization which does not have a requirement to use FM (commitment items etc.) but has a large number of projects with multiple financing sources, and needs to implement the effect of these in FICO processes and needs to report the status of the projects to the parties involved, I think GM could be a useful component.
Also, is it possible just to have account assignment object grant activated, without complete activation of GM (and possibly FM)?
Regards,
Auvo Ahola
Siemens OsakeyhtiöThanks Shahaf!
Just to add to the topic, I copied the following
section from Online Help of GM, according to
which it seems to be possible to use grant in
CO only.
Rgds,
Auvo Ahola
"Set Grant as Not Relevant for Grants Management
If you have activated the dimension Grant in other components, such as CO, but do not need to make use of any other features in the GM system, use this step to specify a dummy grant to serve this purpose.
There are a number of ways you can configure the grant to be used. The best way is to access the derivation tool and make the following entries:
¡ Type of entry: MOVE
¡ Constant: u201CDUMMYu201D
¡ Target field: GRANT_NBR (Grant)
You must carry out both of these steps, but the order in which you do so does not matter." -

JDO with container (J2EE) managed DataSource
Hello,
I would like to use application server managed DataSource with JDO and
would love to find a piece of documentation/link that would take me
through it.
In absence of such a document, any advice/idea will be appreciated.
Based on the bits and pieces that I have already discovered, I assume that:
when binding the PersistanceManagerFactory to JNDI, I should use
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ic.lookup("jdbc/myDataSourceName");
pmf.setConnectionFactory(ds);
... to set the datasource (instead of ConnectionFactory). Is that it?
I found some older topics (July?) that mentioned that this is NOT
officially supported. Quote:
<i>A couple of warnings, though:
* The use of external datasources is untested.
* If using the datasource within an appserver, the Connections from it
should not be automatically committed/rolled back with the completion of
the
global transaction. Kodo performs its own transaction management on the
Connections it uses. In future releases we'll be able to handle
Connections
that are controlled by the appserver.</i>
Is it still the case now or is this the official way to integrate
application server (Websphere 5.0) with JDO now? Assuming that Kodo was
configured to integrate with TransactionManager of the application server,
is there a reason not to let the application server control the
transactions? Are we going to run into problems if we do it?
Thank you,
PetrHi Ben,
Thank you for your advice, that is an experience that it is good to know
about.
In terms of forcing (configuring) Kodo to use the existing data source
from application server, how did you do it?
Based on the structure bellow, I would assume that you used the Java
Connector option. Other then the experience you mentioned, are you happy
camper?
Thank you,
Petr
Ben Eng wrote:
Here is my experience using Kodo with BEA WebLogic Server. Your mileage may
vary with IBM WebSphere.
When using a JDBC driver in the application server\'s classpath (which would
be the case with a managed DataSource), the JDBC driver does not have access
to your J2EE application\'s classes for deserializing them from BLOBs.
Therefore, the Kodo serialized BLOB mapping would not work in this
configuration. You will need to rely solely on more sophisticated O/R
mappings.
Kodo integrates well with the application servers managed Transactions, when
packaged as a JCA resource adapter. With BEA WLS, I found that I had to
repackage things as follows:
myApp.ear
|
+-application.xml
+-jakarta-commons-logging-1.0.2.jar
+-jdbc2_0-stdext.jar
+-jdo1_0.jar
+-kodo-jdo-runtime.jar
+-serp.jar
+-mysql-connector-java-3.0.3-beta-bin.jar (or whatever your JDBC
driver is)
|
+-kodo.rar
| +-META-INF
| +-MANIFEST.MF
| +-ra.xml
| +-weblogic-ra.xml
+-myEJB.jar
+-META-INF
| +-MANIFEST.MF
+-myEJB.class
Both the kodo.rar and myEJB.jar MANIFEST.MF looks like this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: serp.jar jdo1_0.jar kodo-jdo-runtime.jar
jakarta-commons-logging-1.0.2.jar jdbc2_0-stdext.jar
mysql-connector-java-3.0.3-beta-bin.jar
When the JDBC driver is packaged with the application EAR like this,
deserialization of BLOB also works fine. If you do have the JDBC driver in
the application server\'s classpath, it will be loaded from there first and
deserialization of BLOBs will break. Unfortunately, this is limitation is
terribly limiting, because CMP EntityBeans and JMS destinations that require
persistent storage will need to use managed DataSources. Probably the best
compromise is to have the JDBC driver in the application server\'s classpath,
not in the application EAR, and live without BLOB mappings (not a big loss
in real world applications).

Funds Management as a budget source for Grants Management
Hi:
I have grant type whose budget source has been set as Funds Management and transfer to FM check box is also on. Now i have a fund center and commitment item which have been assigned to sponsored program and sponsored class master data respectively. I have created a grant with reference to these Sponsored program and sponsored class in initial draft phase. Now i want to post budget in FM and then automatically transfer it to GM as soon grant is awarded. I am following link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/3e/1b7e3cda04f678e10000000a11405a/content.htm .
In FM i have posted a budget (but did not release it) against an external fund, also against commitment items and fund centers which have been assigned to SC & SP respectively. Grant field is set as non relevant grant.
Now my question is at what point in time budget will be will be updated in Grants management , How will the transfer from FM to GM happen ? Please guide me
RegardsHi Shyamal:
Please note that a DUMMY grant has been created in customizing Define "Not-relevant grant". I am following the process e.g
1..1 have 3 Million Research & education budget for year 2012-13 and for a varying sponsored programs and a sponsored class linked with fund center and commitment items respectively
2..Of these 3 Million i am expecting that i will receive 1 Million as grant .
3..In FMBB i ENTER 3 Million budget against DUMMY Grant along with combination of fund,FC & CI.
4.As soon an MOU is signed with Grantor and he releases amount 0.6 Million for budget i create a Grant master ans set its status to award ..Grant number generated is XYZ
5.Now i n FMBB, i try to release budget again this grant number but system is throwing error that budget amount is not sufficient for release for combination XYZ/FC/CI/Fund , system is true in saying so because earlier budget was entered and posted for DUMMY Grant and now i am trying to release it for Grant XYZ. System does not let me directly ENTER budget in FMBB against Grant XYZ and throws error "Grant XYZ can not be used to enter budget in FM".
Please note that in Grant type budget source has been explicitly defined as "Funds Management"
