Handling Empty Gas Cylinders !

Hi
We have a requirement wherein we are buying gas cylinders & we want to keep a track of empty cylinders with their Serial Nos.
Has anyone handled a similar business requirement ? Can anyone pls suggest some write up on this.

If you define the enoty cylinder is an assett then you have to create the dummy mateirla for cylinder and receive them whenever you receive the real gas cylinder that way you can keep a track OR
if this is not an asset then you just create and empty material and use as a rerunable when you create Po

Scenario: GR of filled gas cylinders

All SAP Gurus,
We have following scenario:
1. Empty Gas cylinders are provided to vendor
2. Vendor sends the filled Gas cylinders to us
How to map this scenario?
Regards,

Hi,
Treat gas cylinder as RTP i.e. returnable transport packaging.
Issue that material (Cylinder)to vendor.
Create a PO for gas(this should be consumable item) with account assignment category K-Cost center.
Now in MIGO, with this gas, accept the cylinder with movement type 501M.
Hope this will help you.

Movement of Gas cylinders as RTP material

Hi
I have a business scenario where my client uses to procure gas cylinders with filled Oxygen gas. The filled gas cylinders are received into warehouse. After that those cylinders are issued to consumption. After the gas has been consumed empty cylinders are returned to warehouse. After that those empty cylinders are returned to vendor from warehouse. Delivery charge for returning those empty cylinder to the vendor is borne by my client. As per my knowledge I can track those cylinders as Returnable transport packaging material. And I can receive these cylinders into warehouse in MIGO through 501 M Movt type(GI receipt to RTP). But I am not able to find out how issue of these cylinders to consumption and return of empty cylinders to warehouse to be mapped in SAP.
Can anybody tell me how to map this business scenario in SAP and also how to book the delivery charges into SAP for returning empty cylinder to vendor.
I will reward point if useful
thanks
Amitava

Friend
Check BPP in the following link
http://help.sap.com/bestpractices/BBLibrary/Documentation/J60_BPP_EN_DE.doc
Else
The process flow is as below
1.Let your customer create a material for cylinders as material type RTP
(Returnable transport package)
2.Let him enter the intial stock issued to the vendor via Transaction code
MB1C (GR without purchase order)
3.He can have the track of the issued RTP in MMBE Transaction at plant level
4.The vendor must me maintained centrally with TC XK01
5.Inforecord for RTP should be maintained.
6.When he receives the filled cylinders let him create PO the RTP material
and when you click on the icon transport euipment in MIGO TC it will take
you to goods issue of 502 Movementtype for the cylinders which are to be
send back to the vendor.
ENJOY SAP

BPM handle empty message in send step

Hi, Friends:
I have a following BPM sceario(PI7.1 EHP1)
It mainly has following steps:
Receive -> Transformation (Multi-Mapping) -> Fork (4 branches: one send step each branch)
The multi-mapping result is to generate 4 types of messages based on logic.
Sometimes all 4 types of message generated, and sometimes only one type of message generated.
When there is a message not generated, the send step generate error which is not caught in exception branch.
I searched forum, so far not lucky to find solution.
Any idea how to handle empty message (do not send it) in send step?
Regards
Liang

Hi, Abhishek:
The reason to use Fork is that all the branches can be reached.
By using switch, it only judge one input value and only one condition turns true.
Actually in most cases, the number of my input value is more than one, saying two or more message types generated.
And this is not multi-line situaion, because the messages generated are different types.
Your reply remind me to add switch inside fork.
Regards
Liang

How to handle empty file using sftp adapter

Hi,
Please explain me how to handle empty files in sftp adapter.
Thanks,
Enivass

Hi Enivaas,
I don't have the seeburger sftp adapter at hand at the moment, but asfar as I remember, this does not specifically have an empty-file handling option like the standard ftp adapter.
So to stop emtyp files from being written, guess would need to handle this at the mapping level. For example, check for target creation criteria in the header node in mapping. If the creation criteria is not met, you can throw an error in mapping.
You may also incorporate this condition in your Receiver determination. In this case, if the condition is not satisfied, no receiver is determined in PI.

How to Handle Empty Files

Hi Experts,
I am doing File to File Scenario.
If my Sender systems file is Empty , that means there is no Records in the File .
How to Handle Empty Files ??????????
I want to know For both Sender and As wel as Receiver Adapters
Please Let me know..
Regards
Khanna

See if u are having a sender file adapter and the file is empty u can tell the if it has to 'Process the empty file' or 'Skip the empty file processing'.
Similarly if you have a message to going to your Receiver file adapter and the message is empty then you can decide still if you want to create a 'File with empty records' or skip creating the same.

How to handle empty variable in BPEL Assign.

Hello ,
I am using SOA 11g R1
I have created one Human task with task Details. Also i am assigning the Usercomments/task/comments to onw of my variable, but if I dont provide the comments from worklist comments section, and approves the task, My Assign is giving error as it is empty. So i want to know is there any function in BPEL which can handle Empty string.
Thank you,
Sandeep

By using this type
bpws:getVariableData('Invoke_DB_WorkOrderNumber_DB_WorkOrderNumber_OutputVariable','OutputParameters','/ns10:OutputParameters/ns10:P_Name')
!=''
also i cant give counts because before comparing accessing variable itself gives empty <message fault > error.
I am still getting selection failure fault as my comments is empty (i..e I am not giving comments)
does bpws:getVariableData() itself try to access the given parameter and populates empty error.?
I tried
bpws:getVariableData('AssigneeApprovalProcess_1_globalVariable','payload','/task:task/task:userComment/task:comment') !=''
string-length(bpws:getVariableData('AssigneeApprovalProcess_1_globalVariable','payload','/task:task/task:userComment/task:comment') )>0
but same error still.

Follow the below steps.
01. Create Gas as Raw material
02. Create Cylinder as RTP material ( LIEH)
Create Purchase order for Vendor
Post the GR with reference to Purchase order 101
Click on Transport equipment icon (extreme right icon in the middle of screen) > enter material, qty, loc, vendor , for this movement type 501 M will trigger
and Save the document
You can see the returnable packaging cylinder in stock , and post reversals through movement type 502 M
Hope this clarifies

Handling empty files

Hello all,
In my scenario i am using file as my sender, if the file size is zero then how to throw an exception saying that the file is empty to the user. how will i handle this issue.
thanks in advance,
Pradeep N

HI,
What do you want . you mean raise an exception,
See we can raise an Runtime exception from message mapping by using UDF
In UDF
if the source message is empty then throw new RuntimeExceptio("Own message");
Check and try , this can be handled in determination by terminate the processing.

How to handle empty Dats field received from SAP RFC response

Hi All,
I am invoking a SAP RFC which gives me a Dats field in response.
A valid dats fields is successfully received by my pipelines.
But when an empty Dats field is received, My pipeline fails and i get error.
How to handle the empty Dats field from SAP

Hi Anant,
This is because the legacy SAP adapter accepted RFC messages with date field empty. In the new version, the same call results in an error. WCF-SAP adapter doesn't allow blank XML nodes.
You need to use the below custom pipeline component as a workaround.
Refer:
Pipeline component for enabling legacy behavior in WCF-SAP adapter.

Gas cylinders and Drums

Hi all,
What kind of Material type would be for empty anf full cylinders and luricant drums.
At PO, what are the items to be included for procurement.
During Goods issue, what are the items to issued?.
Also i have requirement that, i should get a report saying that particular department is suppose to return this no empty cylinders and drums. Issue may be in last financial year, But how to get the empties back in the current financial year.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use the Material type LEIH -- Returnable Packaging.
You will recieve these materials in 501 with special stock indicator "M"
These materials can be issued to other departments using 311 mvt type as there is accounting documents generated in 311 mvt type. Later you can recieve that drums without any financial implications.
You check the all the details of movements in MB51 with mvt type 501 & Special indicator "M"
stock can be checked in MB53 & MMBE with particular coloumn

How to handle empty field in idoc to file scenario

some field of IDoc is empty, there occurs error. like
<Trace level="1" type="T">com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Cannot produce target element /ns0:vendor_list/vendor[3]/company_code. Check xml instance is valid for source xsd and target-field mapping fulfills requirements of target xsd at

Hi Shen,
You can do this in two ways :
1.If you are above XI3.0 SP14 then you can use the node function "mapWithDefault" in between the mapping. This will create the xml tag for the field on the target side even if you are not having those fields in the source side i.e., idoc.
2.At first check your field exists or not at runtime & based on that If exists then you map it to the target field else if you dont have then if the field is alphanumeric then map the same length spaces as constant in the target or if the target field is numeric then map with a constant having that many no. of zeros.
Ex:
If>Idocfield>Exists>then>Idocfield
>else>constant(may be with spaces or zeros)
